Oregon has a saw mill run by
electricity.
The Georgia famine fund
amounts to over SB,OOO.
Honesty is the best policy in
politics as well as in anything
else.
There are conventions and con
ventions. The latest is the con
vention of Fiddlers at Silver
Shoals, in Hall county.
An exchange says money makes
the marriages go. Maybe that ex
plains why there is one divorse to
every five marriages in Chicago.
New Jersey is a hot-bed for
trusts and anarchists. The plot
to kill the king of Italy was born
there. Italy’s new king is 31 years
old.
Newly twelve thousand young
men and women graduated from
American colleges this year. An
exchange says that doubtless each
man expects to be president and
each woman would like to be his
wife.
The United States is the graiu
ery of the world. One hundred
and seventy-seven million bushels
J t-l
of corn were exported from this
country last year. The people
abroad are learning to love corn
bread.
Since last March 428 applica-
tious for the establishment of
national banks have been approv
ed. And trusts galore have sprung ,
up under the fostering care of
McKinleyism. There is only one
hope for us—elect Bryan and a
Democratic congress
John G. Woolley, prohibition
candidate for president, is one of
the most brilliant orators in the
United States. He was a lawyer,
but lost his practice by drink.
Upon his reformation, he has de
voted his time and talents to the
cause of prohibition.
It is said that 8,500,000 youug
men will cast their first presiden
tial ballot this year. In Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois both parties
are making strong efforts, to win
their votes. The highest privilege
ot citizenship is the right to vote,
aucl we hope these young men will
start right by voting for Bryan.
Georgia is rich in mineral, and
when her mines are developed she
will be the Klondike of the South.
Gold fields are being well used at
Dahlonega and other sections.
Georgia granite and marble are
famous. It is not generally known
that Twiggs county has a rich
chalk mine and car loads of it are
sent daily North and East.
Mark Hanna, who bought a seat
in the United States senate, and
who loves money better than his
country and the Republican party
better than God, says that New
York is one of the doubtful states.
Of course it is doubtful —so doubt
ful that its thirty-six electoral
votes will go for Bryan, for the
Democratic party, and for the per
petuation of American institu
tions.
There will be an election in
Cuba next month to choose dele
gates to the Cuban constitutional
convention which will meet in
Havana next November. That
convention will be a most impor
tant one, for it will decided upon
the kind of government the people
of Cuba shall have, as well as
what connection or supervision, if
any, the United States will have
over the island.
The Seaboard Air Line system
of railroads is one of the greatest
in the South. It offers the short
est and quickest route from Wash
ington to Atlanta, and traverses
six of the Southern states. John
Skelton Williams has proven him
self a man of wonderful organiz
ing power, and t< him the uuiou
of the great system is due. In
the August number of “Success,”
a splendid magazine of “inspira
tion, progress and self-help,” is a
splendid article that gives some
thing of the life of this financial
king of the South.
Tell me what a man reads and
I can tell you the man. The
mind must have food to keep it
alive. It must have good, whole
some, mental food, or it will not
be a strong, vigorous mind. It is
surprising to see bow little the
average man reads. He thinks he
is doing well if he reads the coun
ty paper and possibly some daily
journal. Few magazines come to
our post office. To the lovers of
chaste, readable articles, the La
dies’ Home Journal is one of the
beat. The August number is full
of good things. Munsey’s, The
Forum, Review of Reviews, Cen
tury, Atlantic Monthly are some
of the best magazines.
PURE LCADKKN
Public sentiment controls pub
lic net ion. Public actiou—actioi
for the public good—is called pol
itics. If we wish politics to be
pure, public sentiment must be
I pure. If pure public sentiment is
desirable, the makers of public
sentiment must be pure. Who
j are the makers of public opinion ?
There are several. Chief among
them is the editor of daily and
weekly papers. But we desire just
here to refer to the office seeker
as an example of a public-senti
ment maker. Mr. Brvau has de
clared that imperialism is the
great question in the present cam
paign. True the party through
its platform made such a state
ment, but to Mi. Bryan is due the I
credit of showing why that que«- j
tion is paramount to all otherg
He has given a clear, logical and !
unanswerable reason; and while i
the Republicans wish to turn pub- j
lie attention from that to the sil-i
ver question, and while Mr Mc-
Kinley’s speech sought to make;
that the issue, the people have I
seen that guch action was a dis
honorable evasion of public duty,
and are turning to the man who j
stands for honest politics and for
an honest administration tor hon
est Americans.
A PATKIOTIC SPEECH.
On different occasions the writer j
has appealed to the youug man
hood of our section for a higher
conception of citizenship and for
a higher life in every sphere of ac
tivity. He believes the time is
coming and is not far distaut
when the moral integrity and out
raged sensibilities of a great peo
ple will strike down the monstrous
political and social-evils that de
bauch free government and strike
at the very vital - of the home and
state. And in hastening the dawn
of this better day he believes the
young men of this generation must
and will play a conspicuous part.
He therefore rejoices in finding an
expression along the same line
from a young man in Walton
county. This young man is Mr.
Cliff M Walker, who delivered
the address at Woodruff a few
days ago. Mr. Walker discussed
the characteristics demanded of
the twentieth century man He
said that the twentieth century
man must be a Christian ; that he
must be an educated man; and
that he must be a statesman.
These points were forcibly set
forth. He referred to the corrupt
method of the average politician
and said: “I would ratber be an
honest man. unknown, than to be
a booted king, a corrupt politi
cian. If only I can be a man, I
fling the gauntlet to worldly hon
ors and resign myself to conscien
tious obscurity.”
He said the prevailing deficiency
of American life if the absence of
manly individuality. That is true.
Mr. Walker’s speech was an appeal
for a higher life, a purer mannood
and a nobler conception of the
duties of American citizenship.
Here’s to you, Wulker. We are
for ynu and the principles for
which you plead.
COTTON GROWERS ORGANIZING.
Mr. Harvie Jordan, president of
the Cotton Growers’ Protective
Association, has issued a procla
mation to the cotton growers and
business to organize for the
purpose of securing a living price
for th's year’s cotton crop. Va
rious counties in the state have
alreapy organized, and the bank
ers and merchants have promised
and guaranteed their assistance
in aiding the farmers to secure
themselves from the evils of the
cotton speculator The idea is
this: If the cotton crop is thrown
suddenly upon the market, the
price will possibly not be better
than 6 or 7 cents. But by put
ting the crop on the market slow
ly, the price will likely reach 10
cents.
This is a reasonable proposition,
for last year’s crop is exhausted
and this year’s crop promises not
to go over 10,000,000 bales. But
the European and American man
ufacture's must have the cotton,
and if they can’t get it at one
price they will take it at auother.
To enable the farmers to hold
their cotton, the bankers and
merchants will advance money on
cotton in storage. This the busi
ness men can safely do, and both
the cotton grower and merchant
will be benefitted by the higher
price. By this method, Mr. Jor
dan calculates that more than
$15,000,000 will be saved to the
farmers in Georgia alone. Cer
tainly this sum is worth working
for.

'a full populist ticket.
As s<'on as the Populist couv. n
'tinu was called to order on Tues
day morning, and temporary
chairman and secretary had been
elected, motion was adopted to
appoint one delegate from each
militia district to constitute a
committee to nominate candidates
for the different county offices,
and to lay their report before the
convention at half-past one o’clock
in the afternoon for adoption or
rejection.
Capt J. F. Espey, who had
been elected permanent chairman
in the forenoon, called the con
vention to order in the afternoon.
The committee made its report,
suggesting W. A Carroll for Sher
iff; H. L. Peeples, State Senate:
R. L. C. Weaver, W. W. Wilson,
J. M Williams, for Representa
tives; Samuel Craig and J. W.
Morgan for Clerk; D. R. McDan
iel for Tax Receiver; W. K. John
son, Jim Campbell, S. T. Pittard,
F M. Henderson and J. J. Mc-
Daniel for County Commissioners.
After J. M. Williams' name for
Representative had been with
drawn, aud Samuel Craig had an
nounced that he would not accept
the nomination at all, the com
mittee’s report was adopted, and
j the other names were declared the
j regular nominees of the Populist
party.
Motion with a second was made
to put out a full Populist ticket.
Wiley Hogan, Alex Hewett and
otherg made spirited speeches in
favor of the motion. J. W. Mor
gan, A. L. Sammons, “Doc” Bax
ter aud R. M. Wheeler expressed
themselves as against the motion.
Silas Gresham made a red het
speech in which he said that he
had conversed with twelve Demo
crats recently, and that five ot
them said that they expected to
vote for Carroll, and if no further
ticket be put out the Populist
nominees would succeed; but, if a
full ticket be nominated, the whole
Populist ticket would be defeated.
The motion was put and carried
by a good majority; but the lead
ers didn’t seem to be satisfied with
this turn of affairs, and it was
ordered that a vote for putting
out a remaining ticket be taken
by the districts, and again the
motion was carried by a good
majority. W. W. Wilson again
appealed to convention ngaiust
any further ticket, but the crowd
was against him.
By this time the crowd had
dwindled till it had almost reach
ed the famous “eighteen,” there
being present only twenty-four
who were participating in the
work of the convention. John
M. Pool was nominated for Ordi
nary and received less than a
dozen yeas with no nays.
Wiley Hogan suggested the
name of John Pharr of Dacula for
treasurer, aud only six voted in
the affirmative with no nays.
J. T. Kilgore was placed in nomi
nation for Tax Collector and re
ceived five votes. H. L. Peeples
offered some man’s name from
Goodwins district for coroner, but
we were unable to get his name.
The convention then adjourned.
TRAYLOR’S SPEECH.
At the Populist rally here on
Tuesday J. H. Traylor, Populist
candidate for governor, appeared
before the convention and made a
regular old-time Populist speech.
More than half of his speech was
devoted to the historical events,
connected with the lives of Jeffer
son, Monroe and Alexander Ham
ilton, with which every school boy
that has studied the common
school history is perfectly familiar.
He touched lightly upon the
state platform, saying that he was
in favor of low taxes, school books
furnished by the state, and the
government distribution of liquor
to the people at 50c per gallon.
He failed to show how lower
taxes can be brought about, or
how he could even maintain the
present tax rate with the increased
appropriation that it would take]
to secure free school books
His position on the whiskey
question is a very peculiar one, to
say the least of it. It reminds us
the ‘‘forty acres and a mule"
scheme.
POPULISTS ENTHUSIASTIC.
The Populists are great people to
shout, yell and hollow amen at
their political speakings, but,
strange to say, as soon as the
speaxing is over, they lose their
enthusiasm. There were about
four hundred Populists present to
hear J. H. Traylor speak, and such
yelling and hollowing was indulged
in as is seldom heard, except in a
Populist meeting, yet when the
time came for the election of can
didates, many left, and before the
electiou was over, all the delegates
had gone but twenty four.
The Democrats do not show such
enthusiasm at their meetings, but
their enthusiasm is lasting, aud
they win.
CARROLL.
W. A Carroll is in the race for
the fourth time for sheriff of Gwin
nett county, The third tip is out.
and in the bistory of politics in
this county but few defeated can
didates, if any, have ever had tl e
courage to come before the people
the fourth time, really the fifth,
for he ran in the primary in 1892,
to ask their support for office.
How much longer will it take to
conviuce Mr. Carroll that the
people do not want him for sheriff?
How can he have the courage to
ride over this county and ask peo
ple to support him again in face
of four defeats at the hands of his
people ? Slits Gresham said iu
his speech that in talking with
twelve Democrats that he had
found five Democrats that were
going to support Carroll. The
News-Herald challenges him to
name them. A man that will not
support Haslett, after having re
ceived his nomination in as fair
and honest electiou as the recent
! primary, cannot be called a Dem
locrat. If a man is willing to be
governed by the majority how can
jhe eomplaiu ? If he isn’t willing
I to be governed by the majority,
i fairly expressed, what kind of
i government is he in favor of ?
The Democrats will support
Haslett and Smith and all the
other Democratic nominees, and
every one of them will bo elected
by larg.. majorities.
CANDIDATES FOR CLERK.
There were two young men that
went from this county to the ar
mies ;one wore the grey,who wentto
fight in defense of his loved ones
at home aud his southland. The
other wore the blue aud joined the
army of the north. The one m grey
was D. T.Cain, democratic candi
date for clerk. The one who wore
the blue coat was J. W. Morgan,
populist candidate for clerk.
Confederate soldiers, will you
vote against your comrade, Tom
Caiu, for Mr. Morgan ?
We have known Mr. Morgan a
long time, and take pleasure in
saying he is a clever man, but he
is on the wrong side of the fence
to run for an office m Gwinnett
county. Tom Cain will beat him
a thousund votes.
THAT EIGHTEEN.
Tuesday there were four or five
hundred populists present to hear
J. H. Traylor, populist candidate
for governor, speak, and to nomi
nate candidates for couuty officers.
Every time the number eighteen
was called it raised a yell from the
crowd.
On the fourth of July, eighteen
populists met at the court house.
Ten militia districts were not rep
resented, yet they took the whole
matter in charge and decided that
a full populist county ticket should
be put in the field.
Orders were sent out that each
militia district select five delegates
and that a convention of these del
egates be held on the 14th of Au
gust to nominate a full populist
ticket.
These proceedings were reported
in The News-Herald, showing that
the populists were being “bossed”
aud controlled by eighteen, seemed
to have maddened them, and they
came here Tuesday to see to it
that they got their rights.
In the meantime the “bosses”
had changed their minds and de
cided not to put out a full ticket,
but the "boys” were not to be con
trolled in this way, and voted by
a large majority in favor of having
a candidate for every office. This
action seemed to anger the “boss
es" considerably, aud after putting
their heads together, it was de
clared that the vote just taken was
illegal, aud that the vote must be
taken by districts. Voting was
again don*-, and the “boys" won
by a good majority.
A full ticket was put out, ana
the “boys” w«nt away happy and
the “bossi-s” mad
PROHIBITION VOTE.
How‘can a single prohibitionist
vote for the populist ticket, when
that party’s candidate for govern
or says openly in his public speech
es that he is iu favor of the gov
ernment distributing the liquor
to the people at fifty cents
per gallon! Will there be a
single mail in favor of whisky vote
the populist ticket, in the face of
| a prohibition plank in its plat
form ?
Such inconsistency as this ought
to put people to thinking.

HONEST POLITICS.
Why can’t political campaigns
be conducted fairly and honor
ably ? Corrupt politics mean
corrupt leaders and offi e seekers,
and with these in the saddle the
people cannot expect oquitable
and righteous legislation. Gwin
nett county has started ou the
right line The primary was fair
aud clean. No one offered to buy
and no one offered to sell. Two
thousand sovereign citizens exer
cised the highest prerogative of
citizenship by casting an holiest
aud intelligent ballot
Let us maintain his standard
henceforth. Let the voters of the
county demand an honorable
campaign aud an intelligent bal
lot. Let the sturdy manhood of
the county stand for the right and
demonstrate to the world that
honest politics is possible and
practicable.
Campaign in Gwinnett
The Democrats and Populists
have made their nominations and
the campaign is now on. The
News-Herald is Democratic and
will do all it can iu an honorable
way to secure the election of the
Democratic nominees.
We have no fight to make
against the ability and private
character of the Populist candi
dates. We hope the campaign
will be clean and cast on a high
plane.
Populist Leaders.
The News-Herald has been con
tending, and is still contending,
that the populist party is rapidly
disintegrating, and as the very
strongest proof of tins fact, here iu
our county the leaders of that po
litical faith very strongly opposed
the putting out ot a full populist
ticket for all the offices. Why?
Not because they don’t want all
ihe offic's, but because, as we have
repeatedly said in these columns,
they too well known that their
party iB dead, and that they have
not a shadow of a chance to elect
a single officer. They seemed to
be of the opinion that if they just
put out candidates for state sen
ate, representatives, clerk sheriff,
tax receiver, and county commis
sioners, strength would be given
them from weak-kneed democrats.
The idea of such a thing! There
are no weak-kneed democrats. A
fairer and more honest election
was never held in Gwinuett coun
ty than the recent primary, and
every loyal democrat, who loves
his" party, is honorably bound to
support and will support the full
democratic ticket If a single
democratic nominee fraudulently
obtained his nomination by the
use of money, whisky or hired
heelers, no honorable man is bound
to support such nominee, but ev
ery nominee fairly won his place
on the ticket,'and there is abso
lutely ho excuse for the lack of
enjhusiastic support of every dem
ocratic candidate.
Preaching Politics.
We are informed that a certain
prominent preacher of our county
at one of his recent meetings at
tacked Hon. W. T. Smith, demo
cratic nominee for the state sen
ate, for the use of liquor.
An attack on Mr. Smith is an
attack on the democratic party,
and The News-Herald refutes the
charges by saying that if the said
preacher or any other person can
prove that W. T. Smith used a sin
.gle drop of liquor in securing votes
m the last electiou his name as
nominee for state senator will be
withdrawn, and another candidate
put into the field.
The News-Herald does not feel
competent to give the preacher in.
question any advice, yet the oldest
citizens in Lawrenceville say that
our recent primary was the clean
est election ever held in Gwinnett
county, and it does seem that th°
ministry ought to recommend clean
po hies instead of makii g at
tacks.
Passing Populist Party
Eight years ago the Populist
party was a very strong political
organization. It had carried a
number of states, elected a consid
erable representation iu noth
houses of congress and seemed to
be gaining in strength at a rapid
rate both in the west and the
south. It numbered millions of
members and its leaders predicted
with confidence that the Populist
host would soon capture the feder
al govern nieiit.
But the Populist party fellas;
rapidly as it rose It has lost its
hold in the south almost entirely j
and has very few remaining strong
bolds in the west. Populist mem- i
hers of congress were pretty thick
u few years ago. Now they are so
rare that they are regarded some
what as curiosities. There will
probably be a still smaller number
of them iu the next congress
Iu ’92 thePopuiists were sostroi.g
in Alabama that the Democrats
had to put forth their utmost en
deavors to carry the state and the
Populists then claimed that they
had been counted out Last Mon
day Alabama was carried bv the
Democrats by the greatest major
ity ever given to any party in
that stale
The Populists have had as many
as fifty members of the Georgia
legislature. Now they may be
counted on the fingers of one hand.
Every branch ofNorthCaroliua’s
government was captured a few
years ago by a combination of Pop
lists and Republicans and the com
bination elected both the United
States senators for that state. A
week ago the state went Democra
tic by the biggest majority it Bver
gave to any party.
It is the story everywhere. The
great bulk of the Populists iu the
south were men who seceded from
the Democratic party. They have
returned to that party. In the
west the Populists were drawn iu
probably about equal proportions
from both the Democratic and Re
publican parties and most of them
have gone back to where they came
from.
The Populist party will soon
bo a memory. It is tl ne t hat a tac
tion of the party known as the
M nldle-of-the-Roaders has preserv
ed a separate organization and
opposes all fusion or surrender,
but its numbers are few and will
dwindle fast. The career of the
Populist party is ended —Atlan
ta Journal.
We need pure men in office from
bailiff to president. We need men
with backbone aud principle. But
we also need voters who think for
themselves aud who dare to vote
as they pray.

THE CHINESE WAR.
The war is on iu earnest. The

to rescue the legations. ' Georgia
blood has already been spilt.
Chinese diplomacy is working hard
to stem the tide. But China must

is going to teach her a lesson ; aud
whether right or wrong, let us
hope that in the end it will prove
a blessing to China and to the

A QUICK TRIAL,
Sam Robinson, a negro who as
saulted Mrs. luzer near Atlanta
last week, was given a trial at
Marietta and condemned to die.
He was sent from Atlanta to Ma
rietta under a strong military es
cort, and was guarded all during
the trial. From the beginning of
the trial to sentence given by
Judge Gober, the time occupied
was ninety minutes He will be
hanged in 20 days.
We do not believe in lynchings.
But when such heinous crimes are
committed, public sentiment right
ly demands swift punishment.
Let it be known that swift and
just punishment will be given;
lot it be known that the courts
will always give immediate trials
to such criminals, aud lynch law
will not be necessary or tolerable.
