At periods for some years, and
regularly for the two years just
past, the writer haß been engaged
in toachiug. Like many others, he
quit as soon as convenient, not
because the profession is not
honorable and useful, but for rea
sons that are at least satisfactory
to himselt. Teaching is a great
work—great because the manhood
and womauhood of tomorrow, the
home, society, church and state,
depend upon the teacher's ability
of transmitting to and pre
paring the mind for the reception
not only of the knowledged em
braced in the common school and
•ollege courses of today, but of
the accumulated wisdom of all the
ages. A teacher should b 6 great,
good, learned. Later we shall per
haps give some views on the needs
of the common school system in
this county.
In greeting the readers of the
News-Herald and the people of
Gwinnett county as a contributor
to their paper, we assure them
that, as a native of the county,
we are anxious that they keep step
with the progress of the times, and
that Gwinnett county maintain
her position at the head of the
list of the progressive counties of
Georgia. To this end a good coun
ty paper is essential, and this you
have in the News-Herald. We
are here to serve you to the best
of our ability.

The excessive rain is damaging
cotton, corn, peaches and every
other crop.
“Teddy” Roosevelt is going to
knock the “shine” off of McKinley
during the coming campaign.
Four years ago the Republican
platform declared for himetalism,
but now it comes out squarely for
the single gold standard.
What luck, terrible luck for the
Southern railway for tue last
month. Four wrecks, each of
which will cost a good sum of
money.
Taylor of Kentucky says that
the Republicans will carry Ken
tucky by such an overwhelming
majority that it will be impossible
to count them out.
On account of the excessive
rains, it will be impossible for a
full cotton crop, and consequently
the price of cotton will be higher
for this fall than last. It doesn’t
do any good for the farmers to
become disheartened about the
present gloomy condition. It is
rather better for them to push
forward their crops as best they
can, and leave the results to Prov
idence.
WKKCK ON THF. MIHTHKK V
Ou the Southern railway, near
McDonough, Georgia, on last Sat
urday night there occurred one of
the greatest railroad wrecks ever
known to happen in the south.
There was a washout, and the
engine, smoker, day coaches and
sleeper piled down upon each
other into a flood of water.
Thirty-seven persons were killed,
and ten escaped without serious
injuries.
Every person ou the train was
killed, except those on the Pull
man car.
The soction master had gone
over the track just a little while
before the wreck, and reported the
track in safe condition, but the
culvert was unable to stand the
great pressure of water against it,
and the weight of the engine, and
a most terrible wreck resulted.
THE HEALTH PROBLEM
Is much simpler than is sometimes
supposed. Health depends chiefly
upon perfect digestion and pure
blood, and the problem is solved
very readily by Hood’s Sarsaparil
la. You may keep well by taking
it promptly for any stomach or
blood disorder. Its cures of scrof
ula, salt rheum, catarrh, dyspep
sia, rheumatism and other diseases
are numbered by the thousands.
POTASH STIKKKO UP.
A few weeks since, The News-
Herald saw proper to puncture the
cuticle of Potash Farrow, because
of his efforts to effect a fusion be
tween the negroes of Georgia and
the remnants of the old Populist
party, in the vain hope and expec
tation of bringing about the same
condition of affairs here that re
sulted in a similar movement in
North Carolina. Our reference to
his career during the Bullock
regime, when he and the whole
gang of scalawags and carpet-bag
gers with whom he was associated
made themselves so odious to the
white people of this state, evident
ly “hit the spot,” as he has been
filling the columns of ehe Pop-Re
publican organs of the 9th district
with filthy fulminations against
us, and a futile attempt to justify
his conduct duriug that trying or
deal to respectable Georgians.
His principal defenso seems to
be the statute of limitations, as he
avers that the “intervening sun
shine of a third of a century”
should heve shielded him from
having his old record dug up, and
the dirty linen that has been lying
hid away for years “before many
of those now at the helm of public
affairs were born,” aired before
the public afresh.
True, it has been a long time
since Bullock and his gang held
sway in Georgia, and the white
people were dominated by ignorant
negroes, carpet-baggers and scala
wags, like old Potash, who betray
ed their race and kindred for a
mess of pottage, but history has
not been silent, and the infamy of
those who were prominet actors in
that wild saturnalia has been re
corded on its everlasting pages and
will never be forgotten,'
But this card of old Pot i* a cu
riosity, He does not attempt to
deuy that he and the whole Bul
lock gang were odious to the peo
ple of thia state, and says that he
would not have noticed what we
said about him, “if his allusions
to me were simply pilitical,” but
“dragging in my official character
as Attorney General of Georgia,
charging that as a component part
of Governor Bullock’s administra
tion 1 made myself bo odious” was
a little more than endurable.
As a matter of fact, The News-
Herald did not mention that he
was Bullock’s Attorney General,
nor refer to any of his official con
duct, and all the stuff in his card
about the correctness of his “opin
ions” hasn’t the remotest connec
tion with what we actually wrote
about him.
“As Attorney General, I was the
adviser of Bullock and the State
House officers. ”
Did he advise that the millions
of fraudulent bonds issued by Bul
lock’s direction, and which were
afterwards repudiated by the state,
should be “floated ?”
Did he advise Bullock that his
henchmen in the legislature should
turn out the white democrats, who
had been fairly and honestly elect
ed, and fill their places with igno
rant and corrupt negroes ?
Did he advise Bullock, wheu the
white people had asserted their su
premacy at the polls, and the car
pet-baggers, scalawags and ne
groes had been driven from the
capitol, that it was a good time to
flee the realm, and thus avoid the
penalty of outraged law ?
Was he the adviser of Fatty
Harris, when he usurped the place
of Speaker of the House of Repre
sentatives violated all parlimenta
ry rules, and even refused to en
tertain any motion made by the
Democrats ?
Did he advise Bullock that Fos
ter Blodgett and Hotchkiss, who
stole the whole of the income of
the Western & Atlantic Railroad,
were saints and worthy of all trust
and confidence ?
There is no “official record” of
the tyranny, rottenness and cor
ruption that prevailed at the state
capitol during this crisis in Geor
gia’s history, aud Old Pot can safe
ly defy anyone “to examine the
records aud point out” his objec
tionable acts.
The Georgians of that period are
not all dead. Thousands of them
are in active life today, aud the
memory of those hateful times is
still fresh in their minds, and time
has not abated their contempt for
the whole gang. As long as they
keep silent, and make no effort to
repeat the experiences of those
days, decent people will tolerate
them, but when they attempt again
to direct public affairs aud re-iu
augurate similar conditions to
those that existed “thirty ode
years ago,” they will receive the
excoriation they so richly deserve.
DMFEAT.
There is one class of people that
take defeat good humorously. There
is auother class that get mad when
they Bee defeat staring them in
the face. Among the Populists
this fact is especially true Wat
son, Winn, Wright, Barrett and
thousands of other Populists in
Georgia see that their party is
dead, and, like men, give up the
fight with the best of feeling.
There are other Populists that see
that their party is doomed to dis
integration uud they are mad;
consequently they are abusing
everything with which they come
in contact. The least that those,
who have not yes severed their
allegiance to the Populist party,
have to say is the best for them,
as every one of them sooner or
later will have to align himself
with the Democrats or join the
Republicans.
WAR IN CHINA.
It ‘ seems that a great war will
soon be on in China. The Boxer
movement, which has for its ob
ject the expulsion of all foreigners
from the Empire, has grown to
alarming proportions, and seems
to have the support and sympathy
of the Empress and her imperial
army. All the great nations have
forces there, but they are inade
quate to cope with the vast army
that stands ready to defend Pe
kin. That city is the handß of a
Chinese army of 860,000 men; and
when it is remembered that the
city is surrounded by massive
walls, it is not hard to see that
there are difficulties that render
the conquest of that city and
nation most hazardous. The Chi
nese know not danger, and as they
have intense hatred for all for
eigners, they will fight the world
if need be.
It is a war between the past and
present; between ancient consecra
tion and the restless aggressive
ness of today. And while there
can be no doubt as to the result,
yet it will be at a dreadful cost of
money and life.
Three thousand years before
Christ, China is said to have
reached the golden age of her de
velopment.. It is the oldest gov
ernment of the world, and from
day to this it has maintained its
individuality, unchanged by con
tact with the life and thought of
the world. But of late years mod
ern ideas have penetrated that
land. The agressive Caucasian
has gone there, and where he goes
he rules. The irresistible current
of the world’s progress has reached
the foundations of the ancient
Empire, and it must fall,
IWOKPKNUKNTS.
The Walton Tribune says that
there is a probability that J. Y.
Carithers 5f Clarke will oppose
the Democratic nominee for state
senate from the twenty-seveuth
senatorial district. Mr. Carithers
will not make the race as a Popu
list, but as an Independent Dem
ocrat. Here is an opposition
stronger than that of Populism
that ought to be watched by the
organized Democracy. The Pdpu*
list vote, together with that of
those Democrats, dissatisfied with
the primaries, is sufficiently strong
in many counties to elect Inde
pendent Democrats. Let the Dem
ocratic primary on August the
first be conducted upon such a
plain that there can be no room
for complaint by any good Demo
crat.
Ih* Other Siie.
That the governments of the
Christian world cannot remain
idle while Christian missionaries
in Chiua are being mussacred is
generally admitted, but, while
stretchtug forth its protecting
hand, it is well for the Christian
world to take into consideration
the Chinese point of view. It is
all well euought to say that the
missionaries are there under treaty
rights, but iB necessary to remem
ber that the treaties were practi
cally forced on a helpless and un
willing people.
The best way to enter into the
feelings of the Chinese is to re
verse the situation and put our
selves in their place. Suppose
China were as greatly superior to
the United States as it is now su
perior in population; suppose that
a treaty were forced upon us al

strong proof of her ability

missionaries the right to invade
this country, and that in the vig
orous propagation of their faith
they should ridicule our civiliza
tion and circulate slanders to the
damage of the Christian religion.
Would not American mobs be like
ly to rise up in their wrath and
murder such emissaries in spite of
all efforts of the government to
keep the peace? What right, we
should indignantly ask, has this
hated race of the East to attempt
to force its gods and its code of
ethics upon those who are satisfied
with their own?
The intelligent Chinese are fa
miliar with the history of the
spread of the' Christian and Mo
hammedan religions; they know
of the innumerable atrocities that
have been committed by evil and
ambitious men in the name of
both They know, moreover, that
even in the nineteenth century the
Christian influence has usually
been followed by political influ
ence; they look upon the Christ
ian missionaries in China today
as the advance guard of the West
ern armies that will appropriate
Chinese territory. The Christian
missionaries of our time are men
of peace and are actuated by high
and noble purposes, but their very
zeal interferes with the employ
ment of that tact which is the
necessary acomplishment of our
diplomatic and business agents in
China. Their activity, therefore,
is a source of strife, although their
intentions are of the bast.
Under the circumstances, it is
not surprising that some Western
newspapers advise that the mis
sionaries be brought home and
that, in his speech at the bi-ceu
tenary meeting of the Society for
the Propagation of the Gospel in
London on Tuesday, Lord Salis
bury frankly stated that at the
present moment the missionaries
are not popular at the foreign of
fice.
The corrupt Chinese govern
ment, with the murderess dowager
empress at its head, has placed
itself without the pale of sympa
thy, but the great body of the
Chioese people who are devoted to
their home religion, whose cherish
ed ideas differ from ours, who be
lieve that the growth of foreign
influence will lead to the destruc
tion of their civilization and the
loss of their independence, are de
serving of the respect due to pa
triots, blind and misguided though
they be.—Macon Telegraph.
