Populists held a conference
h6re Saturday to discuss the ad
visability of putting a ticket in
the field in this oounty. There
was some difference of opinion on
this subjeot. Many of the Popu
lists of the county are opposed to
placing another ticket in the field,
but are perfectly satisfied with
the present ticket, —Jackson Her

The vexed question as to wheth

posed of, as it needs must be set

two individuals are alike. The

ly dwarfed in her literary product
by her constant self-effacement in
the presence of her moody hus
band, form the subject for Miss
Laughlin’s July contribution to
the Stories of Authors’ Loves, ap
pearing in the Delineator. She
gives a pathos to the subject, lack

that have treated it.
TAYLOK Or KENTUCKY.
Taylor of Kentuckv has de
clined to be considered a candi
date for Governor in the coming
election. His excuse is that he is
forced to devote himself to busi
ness, and will not have time to
make the race for Governor. His
real reasons, no doubt, for refus
ing to become a candidate, are
that he is an accessory to the mur
der of Goebel, aud that sufficient
evidence, in addition to what is
already known, may be secured to
couvict uim. At any rate, he acts
sensible in declining to become a
candidate.
THE POmiSI SITUATION.
. For the last two or three weeks
we have been interviewing the
leading Populists of the county
with a view of finding out what
they intend to do as to the Demo
cratic primary, and as to putting
out a full ticket for county officers.
Every one, with whom we have had
any conversation, with one excep
tion, is against putting out a Pop
ulist ticket for the county officers.
Two of the leaders, who have
been Populist candidates, say that
they are in favor of accepting the
overtures of the Democratic exec
utive committee in inviting them
to participate in the August pri
mary on the condition that they
agree to support the nominees.
We are not prepared to say
whether these with whom we have
talked voice the sentiment of the
Populists of the county or not,but
their views on the situation are
certainly correct. The Populists
have put out a full ticket for coun
ty officers iu every election since
1894, and have never elected a sin
gle county officer. Their strength
is weaker today than it ever was,
and, even if it is as strong as when
first organized, or at any time since
its organization, which every well
informed man knows is not true,
there is not a shadow of a chance
for the election of a single candi
date. In 1896 the Populist vote
for county officers was 1,478; in
1898, 1,208. These figures show a
falling off of about two hundred
votes in two years, and a decrease
in the same ratio will give them
for this year only about 1,000
votes. These undeniable facts
taken from the records should be
sufficient proof to convince any
man that when he aligns himself
with the Populists, he is battling
for a lost cause.
But some of them say that they
are fighting for principle. Wasn’t
the fuilure of the Democrats to
declare for the free coinage of
silver the cause of the organiza
tion of the Peoples party ? Since
that time, hasn’t the Democratic
party declared for that measure ?
So, if it is principle that the Pop
ulists are contending for by their
organization, let them join in
with the Democrats. They may
get what they want as Democrats.
They will never succeed in accom
plishing anything as Populists.
The Democratic party in Georgia
and in Gwinnett county has man
aged the political affairs for the
last quarter of a century, and they
will be managed in like manner
for the next quarter.
The primary is the field of con
test, the place where all officers
are, in reality, named, aud all
platfc rms, from which our state
and county laws are made, are
adopted. To refuse to participate
in the primary is to be deprived of
the right of suffrage, the birth
right of every American citizen.
A vote in opposition to the Demo
cratic party in the general state
election doesn’t amount to a far
thing, for all the opposition, in
cludii g the Republicans and Pop
ulists, since the days of recunstruc
tion, haven’t put a law upon the
statute books. Just so surely as
the sun rises in the east and sets
in the west, the Democratic party
will continue to dominate the af
fairs in this state, and every other
southern state, aud whenever any
man aligns himself with any other
party, he ostracises himself sc far
as bis political rights in state and
county affairs are concerned, and
the sooner he returns to the pasty
of the people, and votes to the
best interest of his county and
state, the better it is for him and
his people Gov. Candler says that
the Populists are good Demoerats.
If they are, let them show their
faith by votiug in the primaries
and sticking to the nominees in
the general election. A re-united
Democracy will add to the materi
al, social aud religious prosperity
in our people. Let the Populists
look at the situation in this coun
ty as it really is, and they will he
convinced that it will be to the
best interest of the county for them
to vote in the primary, stand by
the nominees in the general elec
tion and forever put to an eud
that strife aud contention which
has done so much harm among our
people.
THE t ltomiUTlON QUESTION IN
WALTON.
A great fight is being made over j
the prohibition question in Wal
ton county, between the two can-!
didates for the state senate. Mr
Joseph H. Felker is the prohibi
tionist, while Dr. A. C. Stoue is
the leader of the opposition. The
columns of the News-and-Messen
ger aud the Walton Tribune are
full of articles on the situation.
The prohibitionists have eudorsed
Mr. Felker, and the fight will be
hotly contested by the prohibi
tionists qn one side and the local
optioniats and the whisky element
ou the other. The chances for
the election of either are about
equally divided, aud it will be
impossible to name the winner till
it is determined by the election.
OITK CANDIDATES.
The candidates for the different
offices, whose cards are being
placed iu this paper, are among
our best citizeus. There isn’t a
single one of them that wouldn’t
fill the office, to which he aspires,
satisfactorily: and it makes but
little difference, so far as the
Democratic party is concerned,
which ones succeed. They are all
competent men, and it is the pride
of every Democrat that his party
will not foster the ambition of
any man to hold office whose
standing among his fellow citizens
is not good. Not in the history
of the Democratic primary in this
county has a better class of citi
zens offered themselves for office,
and there can be no excuse for
the practice of unfair methods
from any source. Let every can
didate conduct his canvass upon
a high plain, so that, when the
campaign is over, there will be no
ill feelings existing against the
nominees, nor any wounds to heal.
Saying hard things against your
opponent is not good politics any
way, anu it will not help your
cause, but it will create sympathy
against you. Brother candidate,
show yourselt manly as you make
your canvass over the county; say
nothing nor do anything of which
you may be ashamed of when the
race is over. The people have got
their eyes on you, and the good
opinion, that you are hoping to
win, will be formed from your
words and acts
HISSIONAKIBN lIAY INU TKOritl.K IN
CHINA.
The greatest opposition to the
Christian religion is inChina; and,
notwithstanding the fact that
more money has been spent in ad
vancing the cause of Christianity
there than iu any other country,
she is today the greatest heathen
nation on earth. The recent up
rising of the secret societies to ex
terminate all foreigners is the
greatest impediment to the work
of the missionaries The strength
of the “Big Knife Society,” or
Boxers, is so powerful that it is
said that tho Dowager Empress is
siding with the movement against
the foreigners. Not only is the
work of our missionaries stopped,
their lives are in danger, and it is
feared that it will become neces
sary for the United States to send
soldiers there to protect American
citizens. If suoh complication
should arise, more difficulty in
settling the trouble may result
than the United States are aware
of.
THE FRUIT CROP.
The strawberry crop has bteu
very good. The blackberry is load
ed with berries—even every little
briar along the road is full. There
are plenty of plums, apples, and
peaches, and, taking the fruit crop
as a whole, there hasn’t been bet
ter crops iu many years.
A I.AW FULL OF MISCHIEF.
The Eagle from the very begin
ning opposed the law for electiug
judges and solicitors by the people.
Those circuits in which nomina
tions were recently held for these
officers have had quite enough of
it already, and there is hardly a
doubt but that the bill that Hon.
Ed Wright, who will represent
Dougherty county in the next leg
islature, will introduce to amend
the constitution, so far as to pro
vide sor the nomination of judges
aud solicitors of the circuit courts
by the governor,subject to confirm
ation by the senate, will receive
very strong support from many
sections of the state. If opposed
at all, it is said that the opposi
tion will come from circuits where
there were no contests.
A prominent South Georgian
who will be a member of the
House, in speaking of the proposed
bill, said - “I for one will hearti
ly favor the passage of the bill,
and I feel satisfied that there will
not be a member of the next House
from our judicial circuit who w ill
oppose the measure. The people, !

I SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemist*, New York.
I think, have already seen enough
of such elections, and want to go
back to the old system provided I
for by the constitution of 1868.!
The framers of the constitution of
1868 may have put some objection
able features in it, but the provis
ion giving the governor the au
thority to appoint- judges and so
licitors-general, and calling upon
the senate to confirm or reject
shese appointments is not one of
them. This plan, in my opinion,
is a better one than the electiou
of these officials by the legislature,
and either plan is far preferable
to the election of judges and solic
itors-geueral by the people. The
system under which we are now
acting is full of politics from one
end to the other. It opens th 6 way
for all sorts of political combina
tions, and issues are made in the
elections of men that have not
even a remote connection with the
fitness of a man for the office.’’—

WIT AND HUMOR.
THE BEST PARROT YARN YET.
A man whose neice had coaxed
him to buy her a parrot succeeded
in getting a bird that was warrant
ed a good talker. He brought it
home and after putting it in a
cage stood before it and said;
‘‘Say unclue, Polly 1” The bird
did not respond, and after repeat
ing the sentence a dozen times
with no better success, the uncle
put his hand iu the cage and grab
bing the bird by the neck, shook
him until his head wabbled around
all the time yelling to him, “Say
uncle, gol darn you, say uncle 1”
The bird looked limp and lifeless,
and disgusted with his purchase,
the old fellow took the parrot out
into the yard where he had a coop
of thirty eatingchickens. Thrust
ing the half dead bird in with the
chickens, he exclaimed, “There,
by gosh, you’ll say uncle before
you get out I” Next morning the
uncle Yvent out to see how the
“dead” parrot was getting on.
Looking into the coop he counted
29 dead chickens and in the cen
ter of the coop stood tho parrot
on one foot holding the 30th
chicken by the neck, and Bhaldng
it till his head wabbled, and
screaming: “Say uncle, gol duru
you, say uncle—yourself.”—Ex-

A COW FOR SALE.
Bill Nye once advertised his cow
for sale:
“Owing to ill health, I will sell
at my residence in town 28, range
18, west, according to the govern
ment survey, one piuched, raspber
ry-colored cow, aged eight years.
She is a good milkster and is not
afraid of cars —or anything else.
She is a cow of undaunted courage,
aud gives milk frequently. To a
man who does not fear death in any
form, she would be a great boon.
She is very much attached to her
home at present, by means of a
trace chain, but she will be sold to
anyone who will agree to treat her
right. She is oue-fourth short
horn aud three-fourths hyena, I
will also throw in a double-bar
reled shot gun,which goes with her.
In May she generally goes away
somewhere for a week or two, aud
returns with a tall red calf with
long wabbly legs. Her name is
Rose, and I prefer to sell her to a
non-resident. ”

Ohauncey, Ga„ June i), 1900.
Editor Nbws-Herald: Owing to
the fact that I am a native Gwinnett
countyite, and have recently come to
this (the wiregrass and piney woods
section) I get many letters of inquiry
concerning the political and physical
features of this section of the state.
So if you will allow me space in your
valuable weekly, I will endeavor to
correct some erronious ideas concern
ing the two sections.
To say that old Gwinnett is not a
grand old county, would be misrepre
senting facts as I know and realize
them. Her developments will oom
pare with any part of the Empire State
of the South, physically, politically,so
cially and morally, and the energy of
her population will show wherever they
may be placed. She well deserves the
name she enjoys, “tilt Empire county
of Georgia, and whatever 1 may say in
this article of the opportunities and
advantrges presented in this section is
not inteuded to deter her citizens from
the appreciations of their nativity.
While Gwinnett county people are
noted for their industry and frugality,
at the same time it is well known that
they are a very prolific people, and
have so well filled that command to
“Multiply and Replenish the Earth,”
that they have almost filled up all
available space, and from this fact
many of her citizens migrate every
year to the far west, not knowing that
the very thing they are seeking exist
within the domains of their own grand
old commonwealth, that is.cheap lands,
plenty of timber to build their houses
and fences and plenty of native grass
es for grazing cattle and stock of all
kinds. While this seition is some low
er than that, at the same time there is
plenty of diversity of surface to afford
free drainage, and is altogether as pro
ductive as any part of the state. The
soil of Dodge county is capable of pro
ducing any crop that will grow in
Gwinnett or any of the upper counties,
and with much less cost or labor. No
terraces needed, no rocks to pile or to
role from one bunch of grass to anoth
er, and the nature of the soil is of that
variety that it does not get so hard. To
tile energetic farmer this is the “ideal”
place. While as a matter of fact, this

“Oh, those sandflies, and mosquitoes,

I will admit produce a few chils and
agues, as well as a few musquitoes, but
us to musquitoes, I don’t see that they
are any worse in Dodge than in Gwin
nett, and while the people do have
some malarial tever of the intermittent
type, at the same time we are almost
free from remittent and typhoid that
cuts off' so many of the brigltt young
men and women in Gwinnett each
year.
In Concluding this article, allow me
to say to the many readers of your pa
per, that if they are well fixed and free
from any obnoxious surroundings, they
should be contented, but to those who
are from some unavoidable cause not
so fortunately fixed and have a desire
to migrate, I would insist that you in
vestigate this section before making
the expensive change of going west,
soon to return a poorer if not a wiser
man. You can get unimproved lands
in this section at $2.00 per acre that
can be put in cultivation with very
small expense, and when thus im
proved will compare with that much
appreciated Bay Creek land that you
could not purchase at S2O. And again,
you.could own and enjoy the increase
of as many sheep and cattle as you
could purchase, with scarcely any cost
to you.
“Yes, but I am told that owing to the
hot climate, I would soon lose my en
ergy.” I was told that same tale. The
fact is, that in bygone days, the citi
zens of this section enjoyed so many
other ways of making a dollar than dig
ging it out of the ground, that they to
some extent lagged in energy and
taught it to their posterity, but now
you can’t help but hole the signs of
the most appreciative industry.
Any reader having a desire to visit
this section will find a welcome home
