General Sherman said that war

Chesterfield says that people are
made what they are by education
and company between the ages of
fifteen and twenty-five. That is a
rule with few exceptions. There
are some parents who ought to
keep that truth in mind, if they
wish their boys and girls to become
useful men and women.
The teachers all over the oounty

that crops are poor and the out

Gwinnett can’t afford to be short

THK TRIMVRY.
On next Wednesday there will
occur an honest white man’s pri
mary, in which the using of whis
ky and the purchasing of votes
will not be allowed.
Not a single candidate, so far
as we are able to find out, has
hired any “heelers” or sent out
anv whisky to the different pre
cincts. No candidate has been
heard to abuse his opponent or
speak disrespectfully about hint.
The candidates are all honorable
gentlemen; and, if aDy one of
them had have attempted to stoop
to low aud ungentlemanly meth
ods characteristic of dirty politics,
he would have injured himself
more than his opponent.
This primary is beneficial not
only in giving every candidate a
fair chance at the hands of the
honest people of this county, but
it will greatly strengthen the Dem
ocrats in the general election.
When the primary is over, there
will be no wounds to heal, no dif
ferences to be adjusted, and the
people with one accord will flock
around the standard bearers of
Democracy in aidiug them to snow
under, forever and eternally, the
remnants of the Populist party of
this county.
The Populists of the county,
who realize that there is no longer
any hope for Populism, and have
decided to return to the party of
the people, are to be congratulated
on acting the part of men. Lincoln
said that wise men change their
minds. This saying is certainly
applicable to the Populist situa
tion in this state. We do not
mean to infer that all who have
not returned to the Democratic
party are fools, but it certainly
cannot be denied that the brainest
Populists of Georgia are among
those who are returning to the
Democrats.
The fight is whipped, the victory
is won, and what good reasons are
there for the rank and file of the
Populists in this county to be led
about by that crowd of eighteen
Populists, representing less than
half the militia districts, that met
here on the fourth of July and
said that they were going to put
out a full county ticket.
No complaint ought to be made
by the Populists against bosses
among the Democrats, for there
isn’t a crowd anywhere that is
bossed any more than the Popu
lists of this county. To tell the
truth if it were uot that the few
Populist leaders are insisting on
putting out a full county ticket,
there would be no opposition to
Democrats at all.
The losses by fire amount to

voters from politics. The Demo
crats are for the amendment, and
the Populists and the Republicans
are against it.
Mrs. Lula Ayer Armstrong has
the distinction of teaching the only
school of Christian science in the
state. The school is located near
Washington, Georgia, and occu
pies an old-time mansion made fa

Presbyterian preacher in the state,
Mr. Springer taught school there
also, and among his students were
John Forsyth, once governor of the

mauder-iu-chief of the Grand Ar

Mrs. Nancy Wray Burned to Death.
Watki.nsvii.i.k, July 24 —Mrs.
Nancy Wrny.sn aged white woman
living alone in a small house near
Bishop was burned to death Sat
urday night. The old lady had a
habit of getting i pand smoking at
intervals during the night, and it
is supposed that in this wav Bhe
met her death. Her heart and bones
were f >und in the ashes, and it
was by these that her neighbors
were first assured that she had been
burned in the house.

Typewriting By Wire.
Chicago, July 24.—Zalmon G.
Scholes and Alfred C .Gilmore, of
the city, have completed an inven
tion by which a message written
with ordinary spelling oo a mach
ine that has a keyboard like that of
the ordinary typewriter will be
printed if transmitted over a tele
graph wire by another typewriter
hundreds of miles away.
The instuments have been tested
over a circuit of 265 miles,connect
ing Bloomington, Springfield and
Peoria.
The invention, while it receives
ane delivers messages in the ordi
nary alphabet spelling, transmits
them by theMorsealphabet of dots
and dashes. The transmits turns
each letter, figure or punctuation
point into dots and dashes, and
the receiver, which contains an in
strument sailed a “selector,"
turns the dots and dashes back
into the ordinary signs-
Miss Ruth Bryan, the fifteen
year-old daughter of the candidate
for president, attended the recent
Kansas City convention. She is
deferibed by the newspaper corres-
pondents as a tall, graceful-fornied
girl, bearing a striking likeness to,
her distinguished father. More
than once she was caught up and
swept along by the great enthusi
asm of the 20,000 people who
cheered every mention ot her fath
er’s name. She said that of
oourse she thought her fathor was
the greatest man in the world, and
it was the happiest day of her life
to see thousands and thousands of
other great men almoit going mad
with admiration, love aud loyalty
to him.
A desperate fight took place the
other night at the fishing town of
Stevenson on the Frazer river,
British Columbia, between 800 Ja
panese and 500 Chinese, growing
out of a dispute as to whether a
Japanese army of 10,000 could
whip a Chinese army 100,000. It
appears that after a twenty min
utes’ engagement the 800 Japs put
the 500 Chinamen to fight, having
struck terror into the hearts of the
latter by cutting off thir queuse.
Here is a suggestion to the allies
now fighting in China. Let them
only cut off the Chinameu’s tail
and the day will,, be won
An exchange says l, e” is the
most unfortunate letter in the
English alphabet, because it is
in cash, always in debt and
never out of danger. It forgets
that the aforesaid letter is never
in war, but always in peace. It is
in the beginning of existence, the
commencementof ease and the end
of trouble. Without it there would
be no water, no bread, no meat, no
life; no gospel, no hope, no Jesus,
no father no mother, no brother
sister, home or heaven.
PREVENTED A TRAGEDY.
Timely information given Mrs.
George Long, of New Straitsville,
Ohio, prevented a dreadful tragedy
and saved two lives. A frightful
cough had long kept her awake ev
ery night. She bad tried many rem
edies and doctors but steadily
grew worse, until urged to try Dr.
King’s New Discovery. One bottle
wholly cured her, and she writes
this marvelous medicine also cured
Mr. Long ot a severe attack of
Pneumonia. Such cures are posi
tive proof of the matchless merit
of this grand remedy for curing
all throat, chest and lung troubles.

DOES IT PAY TO BUY CHEAP?
A cheap remedy for coughs and
colds is all right, but you want
something that will relieve and
cure the more severe and danger
ous results of throat and lung
troubles. What shall you do? Go
to a warmer and more regular cli
mate? Yes, if possible. If not
possible for you, then in either
oase take the only remedy that
ha 6 been introduced in all civilized
countries with success in severe
throat and lung troubles, “Bos
chee’s German Syrup.” It not
only heals and stimulates the tis
sues to destroy the germ disease,
but allays iuflamation, causes easy
expectoration, gives a good night’s
rest, and cures the patient. Try
one bottle. Recommended many
years hv all druggists in the world.

India'i Starving Mlllioni.
I have beeu solicited by Ex*
Governor Northen, manager for
Georgia, to secure contributions
from the people of Gwinnett coun
ty for the relief of the starving
millions in India.
It will be impossible for me to
personally solicit aid, but I am in ;
hearty sympathy with the work,
and will gladly receipt for and
forward any contributions sent or
given to nie. Every cent given
will be foiwarded.
It is hard to realize, and awful
to think about, that 10 millions
of human beings are actually and
literally starving to death. In
that stricken land the heavens are
as brass and the earth as iron.
The decaying bodies of men and
beasts pollute both plains aud
rivers.
Remember the words of our
Savior, “Then shall I say unto
them, I was an hungered and ye
fed me.”
Two to five cents a day will save
life; ten cents a day will provide
food for a starving family; two
dollars will save a life until next
harvest; five dollars will give a
meal to 260 starving people. Into
that "land of the shadow of death”
relief can be instantly cabled.
The channels for relief are
abundant, prompt, efficient, trust
worthy and economical. Among
others, there are five hundred
American missionaries, who have
under their direction a large force
of trained and faithful natives.
This whole force is available for
relief work without cost, their sup
port being permanently provided.
Let each one promptly send
some gift, bo it large or small.

EATING AND SLEEPING.
Food supplies the substance for
repairing the wasts of the body,
and giAgestrength. Sleep affords
the opportunity for these repairs
to be made. Both are necessary to
health. If you can’t eat aud sleep,
take Hood.s Sarsapaaiila. It crea
tes a good appetite and tones the
digestive organs, and it gives sweet,
restful sleep of childhood. Be sure
to get Hood’s. Biliousness is cured
by Hood’s Pill. 25/
