The News-Herald. Official Organ Gvinnett County. PUBLISH It 1> EVKRT THURSDAY UvnoceTille Publishing Co., Proprietors. JAS. A. BAGWELL, Editor. 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.

It is creamy looking and pleas ant tasting. 50c. and %i .ou ; all druggists. '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. GOftDBT, MR. BUTLER! The recent election in North Carolina disposes of the Hon. Ma rion Butler. On March the third his term in the United States Sen ate expires and he will be succeed ed by a Democrat. Mr. Butler is a man of consid erable ability.

The allied army is marching to Pekin to rescue the legations. ' Georgia blood has already been spilt. Chinese diplomacy is working hard to stem the tide. But China must take just such a whipping as she has never had before. The world 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 world. 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.
