We are glad to note that a very
interesting literary debate was
held at Ozora, Dear Trip, Satur
day night. We know of nothing
more elevating for any communi
ty than a good debating society.
The good resulting from such ef
forts is of incalculable benefit.
To say the least, it causes many
to do considerable readiug that
would otherwise be neglected.
On this occasion the following
subj ct was debated: “Should
the United States conquer and
control the Philippine Islands ?”
The negative side won the decision,
supported by W. B. Smith, N. R.
Bennett, aud 0. O. Hale, while
T. C. Cowsert, E. S. Camp, and
G. C. Reeves championed the
affirmative. We arp informed
that the boys aeqnited themselves
with great honor. Organize a de
bating society in your community.
Machinery For the Factory Bought,
The purchasing committee of
the Gwinnett Cotton Mills bought
machiney for our factory last
week.
It has been reported that the
south would soon be uuable to
buy equipments for further cotton
factories, but it is still true that
money will buy most anything.
The directors have a guarantee
that the machinery will be deliv
ered by Sept. Ist, so there is no
reason why the mill should not be
in operation by Nov. Ist.
There is some dissatisfaction as
to a location, but we have every
assurance that this will be har
monized in due time. Certainly
the matter will soon be decided,
as the house will have to be ready
when the machiney is delivered.
Twenty-five per cent, of the sub
scribed stock has been paid in and
another call will be made at an
early date.
The New Baptist Church.
The corner stone of the new
Baptist church at Lawrenceville
was layed about one year ago by
the Masons with their beautiful
ceremony. Upon the solid granite
foundation and large granite cor
ner stone a magnificent structure
has been erected. The roof is on,
and upon the whole the church is
one of the best and most impos
ing of any in this section of the
state. It is an ornament to our
progressive city, and is the pride
of the Baptists of our couuty.
The Masons should also feel a just
pride in this handsome building,
from the simple fact of their hav
ing taken part in its structure.
The building committee has
managed the finances at their
command wisely and economical
ly, but have exhausted their
means, and we appeal, in behalf
of the church, to every Mason and
Baptist in the county to send ns
SI.OO each to aid in its comple
tion. It will be as “bread cast
upon the waters,” and you will
feel the better by your generoos
response.
You can find Patent Medicines
in John B. Brogdon’s drug depart

TAHS NOTIJS.
I have had innumerable com
plaints from different parts of the
city concerning the deficient sani
tary condition of their communi
ties; aud with further information
on this line, I shall order your
premises looked after. You un
derstand the Ordinance touching
this subject. It provides that the
city authorities sha 1 do such work
at an expense of $5 to the owner.
I trust that our citizens will be
piorapt to save this expense.
J. A. Perry, Mayor.
Location of Gwinnett Cotton Miils.
There is a considerable contest
among the stockholders of the
Gwinnett Cotton Mills as to where
they shall be located. Some are
in favor of one place, and some
another. The directors, as an
nounced in this paper, have al
ready located the mills in the
rear of Maj. Simmons’ residence.
But as them is complaint against
this locatiou, another meeting of
the stockholders has been called
for next Monday, at which time,
we suppose, the matter will be
finally settled. It makes no dif
ference where the locatiou shall
be made, there is going to be dis
satisfaction and growling on the
part of some. However, we ap
peal to every stockholder aud
every citizen of Lawrenceville to
acquiesce iu what the majority
shall do iu this very important
matter. This enterprise is a great
undertaking for Lawrenceville,
aud her citizens should stand to
gether, if they realize the benefits
which they anticipate will result
from a cotton factory being built
here.

Hail Storm and Water Spout.
Editor News-Herald : In the
closing year of the present centu
ry, I wish you to publish iu your
valuable paper an account of the
heaviest hail storm and water
spout that any of us now living
ever witnessed.
On the 2nd day of May, 1900,
about half after oue o’clock in the
afternoon, a small cloud began to
gather iu the north-west, (after
an angry looking cloud had passed
up the Southern railroad toward
Buford and Flowery Branch.)
About one o’clock this small cloud
began its course towards Cates
district, in this couutv Iu half
an hour it was upon us, and had
gathered all the flying clouds to
it. Then we beheld a heavy cloud,
tinged with red. The rain began
to fall in torrents, and then fine
hail, like bullets. Soon after it
appeared, the cloud began to
whirl, or two clouds met and
merged into each other, one send
ing large hail stones, ranging in
size from marbles to guinea eggs,
all coming down together with
terrific force for 20 minutes or
more. The center of the storm
embraced the town of Snellville,
T. J, Cooper, J. H. Rawlins, L. P.
Ethridge, L. W. Cates, S. C.
Williams, Thomas Haney, G. W.
Pharr, O. P. Ford, E. W. Nash,
George Conner, A. A. Cole, Y. J.
J. Harris, Ben White, and many
others have suffered severely.
In order to describe the devasta
tion of the hail storm, I shall re
call the memorable battle of
Chancelorsville court house, on
the plank road, on the 2nd day <>f
May, just 87 years ago. Stonewall
Jackson, with a heavy southern
cloud at his command, executed
the memorable stragetic move
ment which placed him and hi*

hord"S iu the rear of n heavy
northern cloud, and when they
came in contact in tne evening
the awful carnage began. Great
heavens, what a class! Buck and
bail, grape shot and minnie balls
filled the air, and left the woods
and fields barren of foilage.
We are told by thoso who were
on the south side of the cloud that
it appeared to wave up and down,
roll into the center, boil up, roll
around in a whirl, and had a red
ish color. The cloud appeared to
be in great commotion, like two
armies in deadly conflict. The
peals of thunder, the flashing
lightning, the crashing hail stoues,
the roaring waters, all together
made a soldier remember Chan
celorsville, and the great mass of
human dead, alter the battle, was
brought to his mind when he
viewed the mass of hail stones
that had drifted into the bottom
lands.
Two hours after the hail had
fallen I went down to where Tur
key creek and a small branch
come together, on Stone Moun
tain road, on James Sawyer’s
farm. At this point the hail and
other rubbish had drifted on two
or three acres of bottom land,
varying in depth from four to
nine feet. From the bail-cyclono
waterspout the great mass had
drifted by the force and power of
the water. The center of the
storm was iu or near Snellville,
embracing a territory within a
radius of three miles. In this
center the crops that were plant
ed, and the guano that was in the
ground, are nearly all washed
away. Fruit and wheat and all
the foilage of the trees, are all
torn to pieces.
It is the opinion of old citizens
that the hail will not melt away
before the middle of June; at any
rate there is a great mass of it
there at this writing.
The damage to the citizens of
the hail district, taking everything
into consideration, will amount to
aboul SIO,OOO.
