The Herald- Official Organ Totrn and County i'TI.KK M. i'KKFi.RS, - EdITOS * awrencevilie. Ga T’t <day, Ana, 17, 1807. The Governor wants to build n penitentiary costing #IOO,OOO for women and juveniles. 150 houses have been built in Cordele in the last year and still then; is a demand for more Tho Nashville Centennial seems to have been lost to pub lic view. Even the newspapers seldom mentiuu it. There are 109 lunch houses and stands in Atlanta. There is no danger of a man going hungry there if he has a little change. J. L. Milam, the defaulting agent of the Seal >ard Air Line, who was trying to make his escape, was arrested Sunday at Morristown, Tenn. When a woman in Thibet marries, she marries the whole family and is the wife of all the brothers. When one is away some of the others are at home. Dr. 11. H Carlton will take charge of the Athens Banner on the first of September. He end a new company will main the Banner a leading paper in Georgia. After next October the tax collectors will have to make monthly reports of the amounts collected by them, distinguish ing between the amounts due the state and that due the counties. The small pox seems to be dying out in Birmingham. The excitement had about suspend ed business at the iron mills, but since everybody has been vaccinated the disease is being gradually stamped out. The Emperor of Prussia is on a visit to the Czar of Russia. It is not reported what the con versation between these two sovereigns was but it may be presumed that it. was something like the interview between the Governors of North and South Carolina. The long litigation over the failure of the Eagle and I’lnen ix mills of Columbus is about t<> be brought to a close. Spe cial Master Rosser has filed his report in which no decides that Judge J. S. Bigby. the former president of the company, is in debted #28,000. A Georgia negro, it is report ed, has made #550,000 in the gold mines of Alaska and is coming back to buy the old plantation from bis former muster and set himself up to live at ease the balance of his life. He says his name is St John Atherton. If the doctors continue their investigations into the unknown regions of insanity, nobody will be safe. In fact, they may jump on Governors and Congressmen, let alone the humble private citizen who wearily plods his wuy along the journey of life. Franklin Askew, an old man 70 years of age, who now lives near Gainesville but formerly lived nearClarkston, was lodged in jail in Atlanta in default of a #SOO bond for violating the postal laws. He is charged with having forged the name of Frank Anderson to two post of fice orders for #lO each. A GREAT WHEAT CROP. It is estimated that the wheat crop of the Tinted States this year will reach 580,000,000 bushels, u figure never before reached except in 1891. The short crop in Europe will cause it to bring a good price. It u believed that we can ship to foreign countries two hundred million bushels and still have enough to supply our local de mand. With an abundance of meat and bread in sight, if we cun get a good price for our cotton we will have prosperity, despite the tariff and the gold bugs. THE FLANAGAN CASE. The Flanagan case is still the bone of contention in DeKalb. A motion for new trial waa made and among the grounds was that one of the jurors was not impartial, as he had suul before the trial that the accused ought to be hanged. At least this was the allidavit produced by Col. Glenn. Hut now it seems that there,wus some manipula tion of the allidavits for the witnesses come forward and de ny that they made the allidavits as they stand. They claim that they were deceived and that there have been intorlina tions in them since they were signed. » UNIFORMITY OF SCHOOL BOOKS. Our readers will bear in mind that for years The Herald has advocated a uniform system of school books for the State, and a reduction in prices of the or dinary hooks used in our com mon schools. The teachers have not agreed with us as to the question of uniformity; why, we have never been able to understand. It seems to us that it would he much better for the teachers to have the same books, no matter in what school they may teach. But the point we have made and insisted on was one of econ omy to the people. Very few people who have not taken the pains to make a calculation have any idea of the large sum of money that annually is taxed from the people of all classes to provide suitable books for their children. It may look like a small mat ter, but the old Scotch maxim “many mickles makes a muck le” is pregnant with truth. Take for instance Gwinnett county, with her 0,000 children. Now, a difference in price of only two dollars a year will aggregate the sum of #12,000; multiply that by the number of counties and we have the ag gregate of the expense to the people of this State for a slight change in hooks. This-is a heavy tax, especially upon the poor, and it is a not able fact that “the poor we have always with us,” and that poor people have more children than rich ones. We are glad to see that the Governor has taken this matter up, and will press it before the Legislature at the next session. He is gathering facts and sta tics that will astonish the coun try in reference to this matter. He says he has asked the Legislature to devise some method of reducing this ex pense, and that if they cannot do so that lie will advocate the State publishing her own hooks. If the 8 volumes of tho code, with 1,500,0CM> words, can lie printed and bound in leather for #4.00, it would seem that these little paper-backed books used in the school room could lie printed for a sum much less than the people have to pay lor them. THE FIELD OK HONOR. While dueling lias been ef fectively suppressed in this country by tho rigid laws against it and the strong tide of public sentiment, it is still u favorite method of settling disputes among army officers and tho nobility in Germany, France and Italy. Last Sunday morning tbs Count of Turin, an Itulisn of ficer, and Prince Henri of Or leans, a French nobleman, fought a duel w ith short sworda near Paris. Neither party was killed, but both were wounded. Prince Henri received tlm most serious wounds, and the doctors said that, he was then inferior to his adversary and the fight must stop. Tile combatants then shook liahdi and separated. A HORRIBLE DEATH. Win. Coombs of Atlanta, an employee of the W. & A., Rail road, met a horrible death last Sunday. He was running ahead of the engine in order to couple it to some cars iu front, when his foot caught between two rails. He tried to extricate it but failed, ami the jtouderous engine came rolling on. When lie saw that he could not get his foot loose he frantically called to the engineer to stop the engine. The engine was promptly reversed, but it was too close to stop it in time to save the breakman’s life. Slow ly it moved upon him, and he stood there waiting to be crush ed to death. It was an awful moment of susi>eiisc. Both legs were cut off, and he died in a short time. WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO? That is what Hope Brc wn, of the R'.ate Agricultural Society, wants to know. About ABO,OOO is annually ex pendud on what is known as the Agricultural Department of the State I'uiversity, and a com mittee lias been to Athens to investigate. Their report is that it is a slntme and disgrace to the State. He says that Dr. Hunnicutt is paid per annum to teach two pupils how to lose money farming, ANOTHER MOB. I A Fayette county mob was* prepared last Saturday night to attack the jail at Jonesboro and take McCullough, who is charged with the murder of his wife, and Honry Sims, charged with rape, from the jail and hang them. The sheriff was informed by reliable citizens of this intend ed raid and at 9 o’clock that night he took the two prisoners and drove with them to Atlanta and lodged them in jail there. He was nfraid to risk Ae rail road trains and went quietly about the removal. NO STATE FAIR. It has been definitely settled that there will be no State fair held this year. It was decided by the Agricultural Society that there was not sufficient time now to get ready for the fair at the time it was to be held. In fact it was not deemed .good policy to attempt to hold a fair this year, and it has been agreed that it will be postponed until next year. Tho people are not ripe for a fair this fall and after fully canvassing the matter it has been decided that it would be best to postpone it. STRANGE DA*MAGE SUIT. A novel damage suit has been instituted in Augusta. Mrs. Ward, of Columbia county, has sued the Mfdical College ol Georgia for #25,000 damages. The grounds on which the suit is founded aie that her husband J, It. Ward was a lunatic and had been started to the asylum. He got sick in Augusta and died in the hospital and his body was turned over to the Medical College and dissected. His widow claims that she was in jured and damnged the afore said sum of lawful money. TEN MILLION IBALES. It is estimated by cotton ex perts that the cotton crop this year will reach ten million bales and of that number Texas is credited with three million, or nearly one third of the entire yield. The crop is so far advanced now tliut unless some unusual calamity conies, a pretty safe estimate can be made. And it is opening rapidly in the West and lbs southern section of all the cotton states. NOT SETTLED. It will lie remembered that Mrs. Jester, of Atlanta, charged Miss Dimon, the young daugh ter of a Methodist preacher, some time ago with having stol en her jewelry. It was reported that the matter had l>een settled but this seems to be a mistake. The old lady still says that she did not charge the girl with larceny but she doe* not know what became of her jewelry. The father of the girl says that ahe must clear his daughter or he will sue he for slander. —— Potrolman Bankston, who killed Charley Welch, has been discharged ufter u long trial be fore Justice Orr, ill Atlanta. He held that the officer was jus tifiable in shooting the de ceased. In order to get at the facts, the body of the dead niun was disinterred and physicians ex amined the wounds to see wbethel they were in his hack or breast. Upon this the case largely depended. The rush to the gold Helds of Alaska continues. The enthu siastic gold hunters undergo any amount of hardships and danger to reach the El Dorado. Thousands arecrowding there expecting to get rich, and they come from ull parts of the world. That nine out of ten will be sorely disappointed can not lie doubted. There is not gold enough for ull, and tie cause a few men who liup|M'iicd there when the mine was first discovered have been successful is no reason why all can get rich. DEATH OF SENATOR GEORGE. Senator J. FL George, of Mis sissippi, died at his home ut Mississippi City last Friday, lie had beeu iu bail health for snme time. He was born in Monroe county, Georgia, on the L’tith of October, lS2tl.

This time it is Hon. J. W. Maddox, at present a member of Con gress. Well, lets see: There are Dußignon, Terrell, Berner, Can dler, I’opo Brown and Mcln tosh. It must he remembered that the election is over a yeiy off. BOTH TO HANG. Bud Brooks, and Grady Rey nolds were convicted last week of the murder of M, C. Hunt in Jackson county. The evidence of their guilt was so conclusive that the juries had no difficulty in arriving at a verdict. Roth were found guilty with out recommendation, and Judge Hutching sentenced them to be hung on the 24th of September. The Agricultural Society at its recent meeting at Savannah launched the candidacy of Pope Brown, of Pulaski, for the Gov orehip of Georgia. Mr. Brown is president of the Society and it seems has ambi tion. He may now be regardtd as a full fledged candidate for for gubernatorial honors. HORSE SWAPPERS CON VENTION. Thb first horse swappers con vention ever known was held last Thursday, Friday and Sat urday at Winder. It is #hti mated that three thousand peo ple took part in this unique convocation and it was an in teresting occasion and one that has attracted attention all over tho state. The Atlanta papers gent out special reporters who took in the occasion and gave graphic descriptions of the whole affair. Do 3 Corithers is the insti gator of this unique convention and was elected Secretary. GeorgejCamp was elected presi dent. Among many other in teresting things written by M. M. Folsom we make the follow ing extracts: Then there are several Texas cowboys on the ground, sod one prairie schooner w>th two horses and a mule hitched on behind, that came from old Missouri and all the way from Pike. Uncle Wylie Pierce, from “Ben Smith’s I>ee-trict,’’ the man who has been drinking so an average of a gallon of corn [ liquor a day for many moons, i- her-, and his noee . ->k- like a tall p- ak that has caught the last departing glory >f a moun tain sunset. Old man I>-m Forrester is h r- from Hog Mountain, with bis two cronies, John Brown and Pid King, and every dow and then he enlivens the scene by crying out in a voice that Las -cut a thrill through the heart of many a country bully: “Anybody want to fight ?” Th*-n a smile overspreads the face- of the two cronies who are ready at the drop of a bat to second the motion. LOADED LOR POSSUMS. Old man Tom Norris drove in from Gum Swamp on the Appa- Jachee river yesterday. He is the most renowned postmen hun ter in all these diggin*. This marsupial Nimrod was a bold sabreur under Colonel Wynn during the war, and although he ha- withered up until there is hut little left of him except a bunch of animated whiskers, h is still full of tight. He carries the same two big Colt’s six shooters that he bore through many a cavalry charge, and, for all 1 know, rides the same snorting steed that sup ported him ami his arsenal dur ing those trying times. He wears the pistols buckled ’round his waist at all times, whether hejp-es to null or to meet tug. “1 Lave keeried these hefe weepins ever since the wall," he •uni. as he fondled the handles, “and 1 i x|«.ot tu kerry ’em tell 1 die. They’ll be berried with me. ’ ’ “Have you ever hud occasion to use them since the war?" I asked. “No—that is—mighty sel dom. But in my heat there's times when a feller wants a weepin wush than one o' them new debilities will ever want a place to hide in." Then there is Frank Fuller, the smoothest swapper on the turf, lb* is one of the boss dogs of the houeyard. Give him about four lingers iu aloug quart bottle, and his pet expres sion is: ‘T knows big wood sum hresh’ That is to say, that he knows straight up and down gentle men from a fellow of the com mon herd, lie is ever ready for a fight, frolic or a foot-race. Tin re is the Hon. Weldon Price, of Oconee and Dr. Wylie Bush, wlio owns more land than there is in the state of Delaware, and who says: “1 am the Omega of Winder, sir, anil if you’ll jest step with me over to Mount No bo I'll show you the glories o’ the earth.” These two huvs Greatest Triumpli Of MODERN CHEMISTR Y.
