Kansas will make 160,000,000 bushels of wneat this year. In Idaho the Democrats and Populists have fused with the Sil ver Republicans. Ex-Governor Northern is ap pealing to Georgia for the perish ing millions of India. Fighting Joe Wheeler wants to go to China. He could lead an army to Pekin if any General could. Mrs Mary Preston Glosson has been nominated for congress by the Prohibitionists of the state of Wyoming. Li Hung Chang, the Chinese millionaire and diplomat, keeps at his own expense some 9,000 sol diers, who are ready at any mo ment to do his bidding. The long planned Confederate memorial buiidiug at Richmond will soon be commenced. It will cost SBOO,OOO, of which amount $228,000 have beer, secured. Mrs. Maggie Mayfield, wife of Reuben Mayfield, who was killed in the head-end collision at Belt Junction on the Southern road Juue 14, has sued the road for $50,000 damages. There are no strikes in New Zea land, nor have there beeu any in ten years. They have a law that requires all differences between employer aud employee to be set tled by arbitration. The gold Democrats aud the an ti-imperialistic Republicans will aoou hold a meeting, and it is al most certain that they will put out a candidate fur president. Dowey may get to run yet. The Rev. Thad Pickett, who used to have congressional aspirations, has been preaching in Atlanta, and he got so hot after the breth ren that the pastor of the church refused to let him preach longer. General Sherman said that war is hell. Instead of the twentieth century ushering in the millenium, the prospects for the greatest con flict in all history is now before us. The nations of the earth are up in arms, and only a word is needed to start a universal 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 report small schools. It is true that crops are poor and the out look not so encouraging as we would like to have it, yet we hope that more will be harvested than is now expected. So parents ought to send to school every day, for Gwinnett can’t afford to be short ou intelligent, educated citizens. The car of peaches contributed by the fruit growers of Marshal - Title to the Georgia Industrial Home at Macon brought $560. The peaches were a gift; they were aent to New York, the railroads giving free transportation, and were sold at auction by a New York commission merchant free of any charges. Mrs. Wu, wife of the Chinese minister at Washington, is said to be a very attractive lady. She says the custom of the Chinese women to cramp their feet is not half bo injurious to body and health as that of tight lacing by the American women. Mrs. Wu’s feet are said to be not over three inches long. Miss Gail Laughlin, a young la dy of twenty-three years, and a re putable lawyer of New York, has been appointed by the national in dustrial commission to investigate the servant girl problem. She is a graduate of Wesley oollege and the Cornell Law School, and at the latter place represented her col lege in a joint debate with the University of Pennsylvania and won. 1 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 two dollars per capita in Savannah each year. The cornerstone of the Norman Institute, at Norman, Colquit county, was laid last week. The main building cost SIO,OOO. There will be a farm connected with the school, furnishing food for the boarding department and giving employment to poor boys who are anxious to receive a liberal educa tion. On August 2nd will occur the stote election in North Carolina. State officers and a legislature that will elect Seuator Butler’s succes sor in the United States Senate will be voted for In addition to that the people will vote on a con stitutional amendment which will eliminate about 90,000 negro 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 mous by the fact thatJohuSpring er was ordained there as the first Presbyterian preacher in the state, Mr. Springer taught school there also, and among his students were John Forsyth, once governor of the Btate, and Jesse Mercer, the dis tinguished Baptist preacher. General Albert D. Shaw, com mauder-iu-chief of the Grand Ar my of the Republic, in a speech in Atlanta at the reunion of the blue and gray, Baid that the furled flag of the Confederacy should have no place in public view and parade henceforth, and that the sectional teachings as to the jus tice and rights of the lost cause in the hearts of the chlldreu of the south are all wrong, unwise and unjust. When he had concluded. General John B. Gordon, who had already spoken, mounted the stage and said that he could not teach his children that he fought for what was wrong, but that on the other hand be expected to leach his children and his children’s children that the south fought for the constitution of our fathers, and for principles that they be lieved were just and right Hur rah for Gordon 1 OASTORXA. Bears the Kind Yot Has. Alwg B^gM 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. Court convened here this nioring Judge R. B. Russel) presiding; Clirales Brand, solicitor There were no cases of interest on the docket. 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. Only 50*’ and SI.OO. Everybottle free at'A.M Winn & son’s Drug Store. 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. Sample bottles at Bagwell’s Drug Store, Lawremeville; Smith and Harris, Suwanee: R. O. Medlock, Norcross. 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. Henry L. Peeples.

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/ PROGRAM.
