Norcross, Gi., June 2*2.— Editor
News-Herald. Dear Sir: I notice
an article in your issue of June 21st
in which is a misstatement. I* pre
sume the article comes from Mr.
Taylor, the manager of the Lawrence

arranged a game of-ball with an un
defeated team, the Piedmonts, of At

strong Norcross team. We have
never met the Piedmonts, conse
quently have never been defeated by
them. Knowing this statement to be
quite an ad for the Lawrenceviile
team at our expense ask you to kind
ly give this correction the publicity
you gave Mr. Taylor’s article.

DOFS NOT WANT
OFFICE ABOLISHED
T hinks Proposed Bill to Abol
ish CountyTreastrrers Should
Be Ddc-ated.
To th*e ipe*ple of ■Gwinnett county
at large and especially to the com
mun'di*es*Hoiti'tow»3 individually:
There es an agitation on foot to
abolish'bite Office-of county treasurer
throughout the state of Georgia
whiefc 'VAill probably come up this
session-of legislature. It is said by
some !i»t the oflice Is useless and
instead>of having the expewseof said
office, use the following method::
The 'business can be handled by a
batik'in Which all county funds shall
be deposited, and that all warrants
issued by tire county concmissioners
| cam tbe'in'the form of ctieaks on said
tMM&k, 'thus saving a large expense;
a®£ also asserti ig that infcereeton all
deposits shouid be paid by said bank,
thereby addixgaconsidoffable amourX
(x» <she 'income of the county. The
■wwsrtrtntion of the state -of Georgia
wii'i have rtc be amended before one
coaiiity can have this cilE-ce and the
other oounty abolish, for all offices
shall be uniform* So this is the prop
osition we were compelled to face:
namely, Shall one bank m Gwinnett
handle all of Gwinnett’s money, or
6hall all the banks have the right to
handle said oaoney?
Each bank in the oou«rty lias as
muai'i right <bo handle the county's
money as tfce other bank. Why?
Because eaofc bank helps to pay the
tares. If the-office of oounty treas
urer is abolished, then all the money
wild be plaeed iti one bank. I)o you
people at Buford, Grayson, Korcross,
Auburn, Duluth, Suwanee, Dacula
and Lawreneeviffe know that you
have a legitimate right to handle
your share of this money? Is not
each one willing to pay the required
percent.? Our efficient and upright
county tteasurer, C. R. Smith, in
forms me that he is dividing the
county's money, thus placing some in
each bank in the county. This is
nothing but right and we should see
to it that our representatives be asked
to vote against such a bill to abolish
the office of county treasurer, provid
ed it should come up. Every
bank president in Gwinnett county
should write a personal letter to Dr.
O. O. Simpson, of Norcross, and Rev.
J. P. McConnell, of Grayson, rela
tive to the proposed change, this be
ing done in behalf of his bank, hiß
shareholders, and his community.
In other words, every man ought to
be interested and take it upon him
self to let the law remain unchanged,
for Mr. Smith is certainly doing
the square thing by all.

JUDGE BRAND CONTRIBUTES
TO THE WILLIAMS FUND
In a letter to Rev. H. N. Rain
ey, Judge Charles H. Brand has
the following to say in regard to
raising a fund to help pay for a
home for Mrs. J. M. Williams,
widow of the well known Baptist
minister, to whose memory a mon
ument wan unveiled at his home
church near Auburn a few weeks
ago. The letter is published at
the request of Mr. Rainey :
Athens, Ga., June 14th, 1909.
Rev. H. N. Rainey, Mulberry,
Ga. Dear Mr. Rainey. I no
ticed you call upon the friends of
Rev. Mr. James Williams, de
ceased, for money to lift the
mortgage on his widow’s home. 1
think this is of much more impor
tance than the erection of the
monument to which I contributed
in a small way, though I hope
both movements will be a success.
I authorize you to put me down
for live dollars for the purpose of
discharging said indebtedness.
Yours truly,
C. H. Brand.

DEATH CLAIMS
YOUNC MOTHER
Mrs. Roger Irwin, nee Miss
Tinnic Ware, Called to Rest
This Morning.
The announcement this morn
ing that Mrs. Roger Irwin, of
Woodbury, Ga., had died at 12:80
o’clock brought universal sorrow'
to the hearts of all who knew and
admired this most excellent young
woman.
Last Sunday a daughter was
born to Mr. and Mrs. Irwin, and
from the first it was seen that
there was little hope of saving the
life of the young mother, and
though every means which could
be resorted to was employed the
brittle thread of life was broken
and the gentle spirit has winged
its way to mansions on high.
As Miss Tinnie Ware, Mrs. Ir
win was very popular and after
her marriage to Mr. Roger Irwin
lust September she grew in the
love and confidence of her friends.
They resided in Lawrenceville
until just before Christmas when
they removed to Woodbury, win re
Mr. Irwin has been engaged in
business. The funeral aid inter
ment will occur there tomorrow.
M rs. Ware left yesterday for the
bedside of her daughter and was
there when the end came. The
infant daughter is reported to be
doing well.
Mrs. Irwin was about nineteen
years of age, and is survived by
her husband, mother and the fol
lowiug brothers and sisters : Prof.
C. R. Ware, of Lawrenceville;
Mrs. Rus Smith, of Hoschton;
Mrs.'Roy Carroll, of. Atlanta; Mrs.
Sam Sherrard, of Seneca, S. C.;
Mrs. J. T. Woodruff, of Winder;
Dr. S. J. Ware, of Athens: Misses
Nina and Julia Ware, of Law
renceville.
Prof. Ware and Misses Nina
and Julia leave this afternoon for
Woodbury to attend the funeral.
The Baptist Revival.
Good congregations are attending
the revival services being held at the
Baptist church and listening to the
earnest appeals made by the pastor,
Rev. E. H. Jennings.
Prof. A. A. Lyon, of Atlanta, is
leading the singing and lie lias a well
organized choir to help in this im
portant part of the meeting.
The services will continue through
Sunday and possibly longer.
“The flarathon Race”
The long-distance foot race was a
popular form of contest more than
2,000 years ago, and its revival in
this country has been graphically il
lustrated in a picture called “The
Marathon,” by Samuel Nelson Ab
bot, a copy of which is on display in
J. H. McGee’s show window.
It shows the victor in the filial des
perate spurt of a great contest of
speed and endurance. The nearest
contender has run himself to exhaus
tion, and has collapsed on the course
within a few stiides of the goal; far
ther back is another runner, badly
beaten, but still going to his last
ounce of gameness.
The excitement of the crowd, the
cheers, the waving of hats and hands
for the victor; the gloom of the
friends of the losers, are realistically
shown.
Thlfc ancient Greek race was one of
the principal events of the Olympic
games which have beeu revived.
The victory of an American athlete
last year at London over the best
runners of the nations of the world
has renewed the popularity of the
race in this country. The picture is
founded on that finish The drawing
in its original form is one of value,
and was made for Hart Schatfner A
Marx.
Baseball Saturday,
The Piedmonts, of Atlanta, one of
the fastest amature teams in the
state will meet the locals on the home
grounds Saturday. The game will be
called at 4:15
