Work Day for Orphans.
Each member of society influences
the happiness and success of every
other individual. Every father has
a right to demand that every other
man give his child a chance to be
come useful.
The neglect of a child may make
him a beggar and him your child
must support. The beggar soon be
comes a liar in order to beg success
fully, and so he becomes a thief and
will almost certainly become a crim
inal.
These neglected children, even if
they are only lazy and worthless, not
only add nothing to.society and pros
perity. but are a load which have to
be carried through taxes, the profit
and loss accounts of stores and in
such ways as well as to be fes from
your pantry.
If the parents are worthless or va
grants or criminals it is wiser to give
these children of God a chance by
placing them in som- Orphans Home.
These Georgia Orphans Homes have
for many years been transforming
such children into useful citizens.
The public should make Work Day
for the Orphans, Saturday, October
3, a day of large gifts to these varied
public benefactors.

While in bathing in a pond at the
rear of the federal prison yesterday
afternoon about 3 o’clock, Minnie
Morgan, nine-year old daughter of
F. B. Morgan, who resides at the cor

ing.
Minnie had been on a short visit to
the home of A. C. Robinson, who re
sides near the federal prison, and had
decided, with Bessie Robinson, to
take a bath in ths pond.
As the children were wading along
suddenly the little Morgan girl step
ped off into a deep place and went
over her head. With a scream Bes
sie Robinsm fled for help, while the
drowning girl struggled desperately
in the water.
A negro rushed to the scene and
dragged the body out, but could not
save the life of the child. The feder
al prison officials were notified and a
phjsicifcfc worked without avail on
the bodjkjtor an hour.
She is Wrvived by her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. F. B. Morgan, and her sis
ter, Mary, her brother, Verlin.
The funeral services will be con
ducted at the residence this afternoon
at 4 o’clock, Rev. O. A. Barbee of

T. L. CAIN ON A VIS IT TO
OLD HOME IN CWINNETT
T. L. Cain, who moved from
near Norcross to south Georgia a
few years ago, has been on a visit
to his old home for several days
and paid us a pleasant call while
in Lawrenceville Tuesday.
Mr. Cain is now located ut
Hazelhurst, engaged in farming
and saw milling, and is well pleas
ed with his adopted home. He
says crop conditions are fine and
that business generally is looking
up. He reports all the Gwinnett
boys in that vicinity as doing well
and says he can more fully ap
preciate the level lands of south
Georgia after looking again over
the terraces and gullies of his old
farm.
We agree with Mr. Cain that
south Georgia may offer some ad
vantages, but taken as a whole no
place has yet been found that can
compare with north Georgia in
general climatic conditions and
opportunities for meeting the ills
which flesh is heir to.

THE OLD, OLD STORY OF
LOVE LAUGHS AT LOCKSMITHS
Since the “days of old when knights
were bold” it has been an axiom that
“love will find a way,” and this has
been and ever wiil be a truism.
When two young hearts fain would
become one, parental objections may
be thrown to the winds for aught
they accomplish.
This leads us to the announcement
that on iast Sunday, after futile at
tempts heretofore to have the nup
tial knot tied, Mr. Will Haynie led
to the marriage altar Miss Dorchee
Harnett, the fourteen year old daugh
ter of Mrs. Lou Harnett, Esq John
M. Mills performing the ceremony.
The objection to the marriage wa*
on account of the youthfulness of the
bride, as the groom is an energetic,
promising young man, and the hap
py couple are now receiving the con
gratulations of maij friends.

GREAT MEETING AT
FAIR VIEW CLOSED
BOY IS BITTEN
BY MAD HORSE
Lamar Pate, of Lithonia, is
Brought to the Pasteur
Institute.
Lamar Pate, the 14 year old son
of J. T. Pate, a prominent citizen
of Lithonia, Ga., was brought to
Atlanta yesterday and placed
under treatment in the Pasteur
institute for an ugly wound re
ceived in the breast from a rabid
horse owned by Mr. Pate.
The horse died yesterday morn
ing with furious hydrophobia.
How or when the disease was
transmitted to the horse is not
known, but the disease developed
very suddenly. Only three days
ago young Pate was attending the
horse and was bitten in the breast.
Nothing was thought of the in
cident at the time, but when the
animal died in the greatest agony
with hydrophobia the parents of
the bey became alarmed and at
once had him placed under the
Pasteur treatment, where he is be
ing closely observed and nursed.—

CORRECTS ERROR OF
“OLD SUBSCRIBER”
Editor News-Herald: Please al
low us space in your valuable paper
to correct some errors that “Old Sub
scriber” made in an article published
in your paper in reference to the
camp ground property.
Amos Brooks came to Gwinnett
from Jackson county and was the
owner of four hundred acres of land
ami was surrourded with everything
necf-ssary to make life comfortable.
There being few churches at that
time, and Mr. Brooks being a Chris
tian man and wanting a place to
worship, sold fifty acres of land to
Elisha Winn, William Maltbie, Ish
am Williams, Buckner Harris, Geo.
Brogdon and others for SSO, the same
being the present location of Law
renceville camp ground.
We also want to correct the state
ment in regard to the “mysterious”
disappearance of Dick Brooks. He
left his 1 ome anc * Gwinnett county
in after telling his
family^her# lie was going, and set
tled in Marion county, Alabama,
where he afterwards joined the ar

times and always kept his family in

Winder mauaged to get thr„e men

Winder failed to come here Wednes

Coco Cola’s will be here Saturday
for a game and a large crowd of local

Lawreucevillo and Buford played

Buford won by tiie score of 8 to 3.
Winder was coming but the traiu was
late so Lawrenceville played Bufflrd.
It is generally understood the game
was given for the benefit of H. Power
who recently purchased a new pair

the Buford and Duluth boys. The
feature of the game was the fact that
it was an errorless game, the three
