The re-union of the blue and

The trouble in Ci ina may give
some other fellow a chance to win
glory. But it is hoped that such
heroes will avoid any matrimonial
alliances such as Dewey had.
In the recent appointment of
officers for the consolidated S»a
board Air Line system, the third
division has Messrs. E Berkeley
as superintendent, aud P. H. Sell
ers, train master.
Judge William S. Jennings has
been nominated by the Democrats
for Governor of Florida. He is a
cousin of the Hon, W. J. Bryan,
aud will be elected, as a nomina
tion is practically an election in
that state.
The loss of ten millions of prop
erty and the 200 hundred lives at
the Hoboken fire last Saturday is
appalling. A more horrible death
cannot be possible than that by
fire, and the heart of the nation
is moved by such a calamity.
Col. L. N. Trammell, Chairman
of the State Railroad Commission,
died at Marietta last Friday. To
fill the place made vacant by his
death, Gov. Candler appointed
Hon. J. Pope Brown, of Pulaski
county.
The Boers are carrying on a
guerrilla war, and the British are

President Kruger has the govern

According to Combe, boys born
in the mouth of September, Oc
tober, November, December, Jan

as those born in other months.
Those born in November are the
shortest, those born in July are
the tallest.—Public Opinion.
Every one of Georgia’s cities will
show substantial gains of popula
tion in the forthcoming census
reports. What is still more grati
fying is that the rural districts
and the towns have also increased
in population. Georgia has a
healthy, all around growth during
the last ten years.—Exchange.
There are 1800 Protestant mis
sionaries in China. Of these
1000 are men and 800 are women.
The latest accounts say that there
are ever 100,000 converted Chi
nese in full church fellowship, in
cluding 5000 native preachers and
teachers. But when you consider
that China has a population of
400,000,000, this does not seem so
encouraging.
Now is the time for the citizens
of Lawrenceville to take special
pains in keeping their premises
perfectly clean. Let the back
yards present just as attractive ap
pearance as the front ones. A lit
tle negligeuce on the part of a sin
gle individual in failing to give
this matter of clean premises prop
er attention may lead to typhoid
fever in our town. Remember,
there has been an unusual amount
of rain, and the chances of sick
ness are quite favorable unless
proper attention is given to this
very important matter.
Governor Roosevelt attended
the convention of Rough Riders
at Oklahoma City yesterday. In
w riting to a friend in Virginia he
says: “By the way, I don’t know
that it has ever come to your
knowledge that I am half south
erner myself. My mother was a
Georgian, and of my two uncles,
one was an admiral in the confed
erate service and the other was a
midshipman, who fired the last
gun from the Alabama before she
went down. Probably over half
my regiment was composed of the
sons of confederates, aud I have
never been able to see where our
interests diverged I challenge
the right of being treated as a
stanch friend of the south, as I am
of the north, as I am of the east,
and aB I am of the west, aud 1 be
lieve in the republican party be
cause I am sure it is really the
national party.”
That Populist Sally.
That Fourth of July Populist ra!
ly that was to have occurred here
on yesterday failed to materialize.
By actual count there were only
eighteen Populists in the meetiug,
and there were several districts in
the countv with no representation
i at all.
It is true that it was a most
beautiful day for farming, and the
attendance on this account »us
not as large as it would have been ;
but, even if there had been the
most favorable conditions for the
meeting, it would not huve
compared in enthusiasm, attend
ance, etc., with those great Popu
list rallies held here when Popu
lism was at its best.
We have said repeatedly in these
columns that Populism is rapidly
dying, and every movement made
by those who are going to contin
ue the fight as long as they have
any following at all, the more
strongly confirms our claim.
If the success of yesterday’s
meeting was not sufficient proof to
convince even the most ardent
supporter of Populism that it is
useless to continue the fight in
this county, we are at a loss to
know bow strong it takes to
convince a Populist of anything.
THK PRIMARY.
It is only a little more than
three weeks till the primary, and
the Democrats should bestir them
selves to arouse such Democratic
enthusiasm as will result in the
largest vote ever polled in a pri
mary in this county.
Let the needs and fitness of the
candidates be so thoroughly and
conscientiously studied that the
choice, represented by the majori
ty vote, will be given to such can
didates that will carry the Demo
cratic banner to an overwhelming
success in the general election.
Let none, who intend to partici
pate in the primary, forget to reg
ister.
If there are any who have voted
with other political parties here
tofore but wish to affiliate with
the Democrats hereafter, they are
cordially invited to join our ranks.
The selection of all county
offioet'B will be made in this pri
mary, as there isn’t a shadow of
chance for (he defeat of a single
nominee. Therefore, all who are
interested in county offices will
have to participate in the prima
ry, or else lose the privilege of
having any voice in the control of
county affairs at all.
THK BLBCTION OK JIJIXIKS AND SO
LICITOK-ÜBNEKALH.
A good deal is being said by the
weekly papers of Georgia about
the election of judges and solicitor
generals by tbe people; but, up to
this date, not a single paper has
given a word of praise in behalf
of the new method of election.
It is very probable that the
weekly papers do not always voice
public sentiment, but when all of
them, as iu this instance, are of
the same opinion and so express
themselves editorially,surely there
can be no mistake.
Governor Candler is quoted as
being against the present plan of
election, and it is said that he will
recommend to the next legislature
the repeal of the law, and suggest
some better ways in which these
very important officers can be
elected.
The present public discussion of
this matter that is being made
over the state means that a bill
will be introduced in the next leg
islature to repeal this law, and to
elect juges and solicitcr-generals
in some other way.
NEW YORK,
New York is the pivoted state in
the Presidential contest. This is
the year for the Democrats to car
ry that State. An exchange says
this of that State:
In 1872 Grant won. He carried
New York. In 1870 Tildeu won.
He carried New York. In 1880
Garfield won. He carried New
York. In 1884 Cleveland won. He
carried New York. In 1888 Har
rison won. He carried New York.
In 1892 Cleveland wou. He cur
ried New York. In 1896 McKin
ley won. He carried New York.
For thirty years the Republicans
ana Democeats have carried the
country every four years, turuaud
turn about, but not without New
York. 1900! It is the Democrats
turn now. Iu 1900 Bryan
JITIfK
Many people hare said that the
past June was the rainiest month
in the history of their lives. This
statement is not true. In 1884
the rainfall in Atlanta was more
than ten inches, while that of the
past month reached only nine
inches. But the clear days iu
June, 1884, were fifteen, as com
pared to none for this June. So
taking these two facts into con
sideration, perhaps there was never
any other June iu the last quarter
of a century that was so unfortu
nate to agricultural interest.
THK DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
The great Di m eratie National
Convention that is in session at
Kantas City and that has nomi
nated the Hon. William Jennings
Bryan as candidate for President
of these I'nited States, is one of
the most enthusiastic and harmo
nious meetings the party ever held.
Conscious of the responsibility
that is resting upon them they
have rededicated themselves to
their country, adopting a plutform
that every patriotic American can
endorse, and putting at the head
of the ticket the most brilliant
leader, orator and statesman that
the closing century has produced.
The American people, tired of the
four years’ rule of McKinleyism,
horror struck at the astounding
scheme of turning this free-born
republic into an Empire, aud burn
ing with righteous indiguation at
the unholv purpose of the Repub
lican party to control the govern
ment by fostering trusts and cor
porations, are marshalling their
legions of peaceful and loyal citi
zens, and with the peerless Bryan
as leader, and the constitution as
their watchword, they will storm
the ramparts of tbe euemy and re
establish this government upon
the principles of their fathers.
But, the fight is going to be a dread-
ful one. The Republicans, abnor
mally elated over their receut mil
itary achievements, and are crazed
at the splendid prospect of a ca
reer of expansion and military glo
ry, are following their lordly
“Teddy,” rightly believing that
Hanna’s barrel will insure success,
unless the Democrats appeal to
the patriotic manhood of the coun
try that has never yet failed to do
its duty in a national crisis. And
this will be done. We do not be
lieve that American honor is dead.
We do not believe that the people
will longer bear the usurpations of
the Republican party and all the
evils that follow its administra
tion.
In this good year of grace the
Democratic party will appeal to
the conscience of every citizen,
and put W. J. Bryan into the
White House as the greatest pres
ident since Lincoln.
The Marietta and Barnesville
chautauquas are in full blast this
week.
THE lIOOK AGENT.
With the closing of schools and
the coming of the summer months
there goes forth the usual army of
book agents, invading town and
country alike, and meeting almost
daily with success and defeat. It
is to be regretted that the book
agents do not meet with that
courtesy and consideration on the
part of the people that they as
worthy men and wemen deserve.
Many regard such agents as im
posters, unworthy of the common
civilties of life and the hospitality
of their homes. There may be
imposters, seeking to dispose of
their cheap wares and to defraud
the public. But most agents are
honorable men and women, pos
sessing a high degree of intelli
gence, trying bravely to make a
competency for themselves, and
endeavoring to put such literature
in our homes as will make indi
vidual lives better, homes hap
pier, and society purer.
The writer has never been an
agent. He knows nothiug of the
agent's trials and hardships, if
there by any, save what he has
heard from them. He calls to
mind that, some years ago, he had
occasiou to call on a gentleman in
the country, and reached the
place about noon. As he walked
in, the gentlemau of the house
arose, and with cold and almost
insulting indifference, asked if we
were selling books, and if so, to
drive on. Afterwards we found
out that his library consisted of a
copy of Pilgrim’s Progress, Life of
Franklin, Smith’s Grammar, and
Webster's Elementary Speller.
And he was a leading man in tho
community,talked learnedly about
things great and small, and con
fidently expected that when he
died his community would go to
the dogs, and the common stock
of wisdom would be greatly if not
wholly deficient for the world to I
move on without him.
But there are only a few such
men. We are doing better. We
are welcoming the man who brings
us a good book. We are learning,
We are reading. We are thinking
what others have thought, aud
feeling what others have felt.
And when we do this, we are be
ginning to live.
A Cheerful Letter From Home.
“Dear Johu : This is to inform
you how we are all a-gittin’ cu.
John, ol’ boy, your father is no
more; your brother has been run
over by a switch engine an’ your
cousin, Sarah, has run off with a
sojer. Your two uncles is in jail an’

This is all I know at the present.

Hoping that you will spend next
Christmas with what is left of
your famlilv,! remain your friud.”
What a Little Paith Did
FOR MRS. ROCKWELL.
U>TT<> TO Mil. N»I1» HO. 69,884]
“I was a great sufferer from female
weakness and had no strength. It was
impossible for me to attend to my
household duties. I had tried every
thing and many doctors, but found no
relief.
“My sister advised me to try Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound,
which I did; before using all of one
bottle I felt better. I kept on with it
and to my great surprise I am cured.
All who suffer from female complaints
should give it a trial.”— Mbs. Rock
well, 1209 8. Division Bt., Gbaxd
Rapids, Mich.
From a Grateful Newark Woman.
“ When I wrote to you I wu very
sick, had not been well for two years.
The doctors did not seem to help me,
and one said I could not live three
months. I had womb trouble, falling,
ulcers, kidney and bladder trouble.
There seemed to be such a drawing
and burning pain in my bowels that I
could not rest anywhere. After using
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Sanative Wash and follow
ing your advice, I feel well again and
stronger than ever. My bowels feel as if
they had been made over new. With
many thanks for your nelp, I remain.

GOING TO COLLKGK.
The graduating exercises at the
auditorium last week were pretty,
and the occasion led us to inquire
of a friend whether those who re
ceived their diplomas had ended
their educational career, or would
they continue their work in some
of the colleges in or out of the
State. And then we asked how
many young men from Gwinnett
countv were in college anywhere.
So far as we could learn, Gwinnett
had one boy at the University of
Georgia last term. Emory college
had one. He knew of no one at
Mercer. Now these are the three
leading colleges of Georgia, each
offering excellent advantages, and
only two young men were taking
advantage of the higher training
offered there. And the question
arises, “Why is this ?” Are the
young men of Gwinnett county
satisfied with the training they re
ceive in the common and high
schools in this county ? Nor do
we mean to say that the schools of
this county are inferior to those
of any county in this section. We
do not say that. Nor do we mean
that Gwinnett’s sons are less anx
ious to receiv> this higher train
ing. But we merely rise in our
place and ask why this state of af
fairs exists ? Instead of two, doz
ens ought to be going.
Most young men want to get out
in life aud do something. They
are anxiaus to show the world how
smart they are aud how they can
make things hum. But the world
soon finds out how smart they are,
aud it has long since decided that
things hum according to the abili
ty and preparation of tbe party
working the machine. It is not
unusual to see men who have
reached the zenith of their useful
ness very early in life. They reach
that point aud stay there. It is
impossible for them to go higher.
The arena of usefulness for them
is limited. In preparing for life’s
work, they drew a circle around
them and began that line they
car. never go. They were unwil
ling to make such preparation that
would give ample room for tbe
widest fields of usefulness. Thor
ough preparation, with indomilia
bte courage and purposes, can nev
er know failure.
There is a constant complaint of
the lack of morals in politics.
There is no place yet discovered
even out of politics, where there is
ail over supply.

me for hat’d labor on the farm. I have no other
way of support. I can satisfy the most exact
