The state democratic convention meets in Atlanta today. There are seven candidates for sheriff in Apling connty. The appropriations of congress have aihounted to overs7oo,ooo,ooo The English have not conquered the Boers yet, and the war moves slowly on. Congress has adjourned, and all of the Georgia congressmen are at home again. The race for county treasurer is quite interesting, and it is hard to tell who is going to be the winner. Recently four negroes, while at work under a steamship near Jacksonville, were killed by light ning, and fourteen other persons received severe shocks. An exchange Bays that Coffee county claims the heaviest man in the state. His name is W. T. Brinson. He is 88 years of age, and weighs 400 pounds. Prominent negroes held a meet ing in Philadelphia the other day, and decided to form a negro party and put out a presidential ticket. McKinley puts negroes into office, and what more could they ask ? N. L. Hutchins, Jr., is a candi date for the house of representa tives from Gwinnett. His an nouncement was made last week, and already he has secured consid erable support. Colonel Hutchins is one of the best known young lawyers of Gwinnett.—Constitu -1 “■ 1. 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 ald. The Jackson Herald says about Prof. Flanigan’s address at the commencement of Martin Insti tute: .“Prof. J C. Flanigan, pres ident of Perry-Rainey College, was introduced to the audience by Hon. John N. Ross, aud made a most beautiful, eloquent and time ly address on the subject “Duty.” We do not think it too much to Bay that it was one of the best orations the Alumni of Martin Institute every heard.” At the beginning of the war be tween the English and Boers, a relative of President Kruger, who lives in Brownlee, Pennsylvania, wrote Kruger and invited him to locate in Pennsylvania, in case that it was necessary for him to leave the Transvaal, It is now reported that Kruger will accept, and the representatives of the Transvaal are making inquiries concerning the price of farms around Brownlee. The vexed question as to wheth er literary men make good hus bands will probably never be dis posed of, as it needs must be set tled by individual cases, and no two individuals are alike. The crabbed Carlyle aud his high strung Jane, the latter undoubted 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 ing with some of the harsher pens 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, ! scorn EMIILSifN OF COD-LIVER OIL WITH HYPOPHOSPHITES should always be kept in the house for the fol lowing reasons: FIRST - Because, if any member of the family has a hard cold, it will cure it. SECOND Because, if the chil dren are delicate and sickly, it wiil make them strong and well. THIRD —Because, if the father or mother is losing flesh and becom ing thin and emaciated, it will build them up and give them flesh and strength. FOURTH - Because it is the standard remedy in ail throat and lung affections. No household should be without It. It can be taken in summer as well as in winter. uc. and SI.OO, all druggists. 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.’’— Gainesville Eagle. 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- change. 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. ” SNELL VILLE.

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 tA Word £ r Suffering Women. No one but yourselves know of the •uffering you go through. Why do you suffer?

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 with the writer, and any and all per sonal inquiries will receive prompt re ply. L. A.
