The Herald- Official Organ Town and County Tti.kr M. PnpuH, - Editor ' m wrencevillp. Ga T ; silav, Aug, 24, 1897. Covington gets the next horse swappers’ convention. Brine is said to be a snre pre ventative for worms on cabbage. It should be diluted with water and sprinkled from a broom. The stockholders in the South ern Building & Loan Associa tion will get about 2o per cent, of the amount paid in, The short crops in Europe have improved the price of corn and oats in this country though the advance has not been so great as in wheat. An American negro has won great distinction ui I’aris by painting the raising of Lazarus His father is a missionary in the African church. Cotton is coming in rapidly in Southern Georgia. The far mers in that section complain that the recent heavy rams have materially damaged the crop. Michael Auge >lli, the anarch ist who assassinated the premier of Spain, was tried by court martial and strangled to death last Friday. He met death bravely. Bud Fuller, a white man, is in jail in Atlanta charged with deserting his crippled boy and leaving him in the woods to die. There is great indignation against him. The President is taking his summer vacation up in the mountains and enjoys a little needed rest from the tread mill at Washington. He does not go fishing as his predecessor did. Judge Hutchins will hold an adjourned term of Jackson Superior court to try criminal cases. There are two part.es ii. jail charged with assault to rape and Alex Harvill charged with murder. There is a disposition in Eu rope to kill out their rulers. An effort has just been made to kill the King of ltalv and Presideut Faure, of France. The recent assassination of tin prime minister oLSpain was part of the plot of the anarchists. A little girl ft years old swam the Tennessee river, near Chat tanooga,a distance of near three fourths of a mile last Saturday The feat was acomplished with out resting. The tost was made on a wager by her father, who followed close behind her in a boat. A Columbus niun heard hie wife letting down a window the other night and thought she was a burglar and commenced shooting at her. He sh »t twice before he discovered his inis take. She was only slightly wounded. He was worse scared than she wus. The Klondike gold fields may not be a good place to go to, but it is a good place to slay. From the first of October to the first of June the country be comes impassable. Snow drifts, storms and ice all conspire to keep everybody there for these months. A man must work his fortune quick or perish, The celebrated Whitehead case in Oconee county has been transferred to Clark. It has been tried so often that it is impossible to get an impartial jury m that county. On the first trial Whitehead was con victed, but a new triul was granted, and there have been two or three mistrials. Bicycles are becoming so pop ular that some of the city churches are making arrange ments to have a room set apart where the riders may leave their steeds during divine service. Out in the country they hitch their horses to a swinging limb but the city rider can’t afford to leave bis cycle about on the side walks for fear somebody will rid* off. There is a woman in Maine who has refused to speak for fifty years, and she is not deaf and dumb. She took an oath that she would not speak, and has kept it. There ought to be a moiiument erected to her memory. The good book tells us that he who controls his own tongue is greater than the mail who captures a city, or words to that effect. Horseless vehicles are now being triod in Loudon. A doz en of them were seen on the streets. They are run by electricity. The hind wheels do the driving and the front ones are uaed to ster the car riage. It is claimed that they will run fifty miles at u cost of fifty cents. We have no doubt this generation will see car riages all over the country run by electricity. For years ex periments have been made to use this motive power to run jailroad trams. A JUDICIAL VS. A MOB t TRIAL. The conviction and sentence of Brooks and Reynolds in Jackson county recently meets with general approval. Not only is tne public satisfied that they are guilty and richly de serve the penalty which they have invoked, but there Is an other satisfaction—they have had a fair trial, conducted ac cording to law. Just after this crime was committed, while public excite ment was running high, a peti tion was sent to Judge Hutch ins to call an extra term to try them. He refused, on the ground that ho did not propose to preside over a mob. He de termined to uphold tlio charac ter of the Georgia judiciary for giving a man a fair and impar tial trial, no matter what crime he is charged with. And he is receiving the just applause of the people in that county, and in other sections of the State. There is way down in the hu man heart an instinctive love of justice, and when the excite ment of the hour passes away the judge who administers the law unawed by mobs or a tide of public sentiment will be rec ognized as a just judge all over the State.. If the courts are to be turned into mobs to legalize their acts, then we do not need the courts. Just as well dispose of the ac cused without the expense of a trial. Unfortunately, we have men high in authority in Georgia who want to do away with juries and let the judge be judge and jury. But the people, who love liberty and justice, will never consent to surrender their great constitutional right of trial by jury- ABOUT SCHOOL BOOKS. This question is attracting much attention now in Georgia. The last Legislature appointed •i committee to investigate and report at the next session in what manner this heavy burden on the people could be light ened. This committee, with the State School Commissioner at its head, has been in session in Atlanta for a week or more and will make up a report. It is understood that instead of tackling the gigantic trusts that are piling up immense fortunes at the expense of the people, they propose that the State shall go into the book business and sell books to the students at reduced price. If this is the best that can be done, it will help some, but there are people in Georgia who have given this matter consid eration who do not believe this is the best that can be done. It is well known that nearly all the school book publishers have entered into u trust or combine by whicu competition is prevented, and they dictate prices. But if a great State like Georgia goes into the mar ket, and unless satisfactory prices can be obtained, deter mines to print her own books, there will be little difliculty in getting the prices reduced from twenty-five to fifty per cent. And watch these book trusts send their paid emisaries before the Georgia Legislature to pro vent nny action in the interest of the people. TWO KILLED—ONE WOUND Kl>. The bloody era still contin ues. Here is a late sample: At Lovett’s Station, on the Wrightsville dr Tenneville K. H Andrew Green, a negro, got on the war path, and because his wife disobeyed him followed her t<> the depot anil opened fire on her with a pistol. Two shots took effect. Mr. Heath, a prominent merchant, came up and attempted to stop the fuss, when Green turned on him and shot him dead. The negro then tied. The citizen-, armed themselves and went in pursuit. Green was captured, and the crowd concluded to dispose of him in short order, and riddled him with bullets. Thus ended the day’s fights at Lovett’s Station. DID HE~ROB HIMSELF ? That is the question to be settled in the courts of Atlanta, J. A. Harrison, a contractor, started with enough money to pay off his hands last Saturday and claims that he was held up and robbed. The hands, who failed to get their pay, say he robbed himself utid have had him lodged iu jail. DEATH OF .T. W. BURKE. The announcement of the death of this nged minister will biing sorrow into many house holds in Georgia, for he was known and respected all over the State. He died at his home in Ma con last Saturday. He was born at Watkinsville, on October Ist, 1820, and at 15 years of age entered the Athens Banner printing office as a typo, where he remained until he es tablished the Cassville Standard in 1849. After managing this paper for six years he entered tho itenerancy of the Methodist church. In 1850, his second year, he was sent to Lawrenceville and served the church here for two years. All of the old citizons of our community recollect him as a faithful preacher and a good man. While not regarded as a great preacher, he was so popu lar with all classes that he suc ceeded in building up his churches as few men had done before. Nobody questioned his piety, and while at that time suffering from bodily aflliction, there was always such sunshine and good humor in his inter course that he made life-long friends among all our people. He moved from here to Ma con to take charge of the book depository of his church where lie has continued to live up to death. After the war he estab lished tho large printing und book business under the name of .1. W. Burke A Co., which was quite successful. Jii 1848 lie married Miss White, who survives him. He left five children, three daugli tors and two sons. One of his sons is a missionary. DEATH OF CONNALLY. The death of Chief of Police Connally in Atlanta last Friday morning cast a gloom over that city. From his boyhood up ho had been connected with the police department of the city, and gradually rose from the ranks of patrolman to that of chief of the city. For years he lias handled the police force with skill and made reputation as a very reliable and efiiceut officer. His death was not unexpect ed, for he had been in bad health several months. He leaves a wife and several years. HATS OFF, The Atlanta city council has passed an ordinance that ladies shall not be allowed to Wear their hats in the theatres. For years there has been a cry against the high hats which ladies wear. They simply ob scured a view of tho stage from many of the visitors. The new rule meets general approval. The ladies have not been heard from yet. It will be a saving of expense, for these top lofti cal hats and plumes cost mon ey, but women who have money to burn do not feel like they are fully dressed until the head gear is put on. The question might arise as lo what right a city council has to determine what people shall wear at church, at the theatre or on the street. THE PENSkTn LIST TO BE ENLARGED The Republicans are determ ined to keep up tho list of pen sioners who live off of the gov ernment. They continue to enlarge the classes of people who are entitled. Probably one half of the soldiers who draw pension are dead but still the list grows. It is now pro posed to give Confederate sol diers who deserted to the Union army, pensions. Heretofore if a man had been in the Confed erate army he was not entitled to participate in the bounty of the government. W hy not take all of the Con federates in so us to equalize the benifits as well us the burdens of the government? These old Confed’s. are thoroughly loyal now. OFR STATE TAX. The State tax for this year will be $5.21, or five dollars and twenty-one cents on the thousand dollars of property taxed. This tax is to be raised for the following purposes: For schools, #OOO,OOO. Pensions, #450,000. Sinking fund, #IOO,OOO, For all other purposes, #1,423- 000. WHEAT SI.OO. With an enormous wheat crop in this country the price has been steadily advancing from OB cents. The rapid advance has waked up the speculators and the price went up last Sat urday six cents in the bushel, and was quoted in Chicago at SI.OO, This is not all speculation. The extraordinary foreign de mand has had much to do with running the price up. As a consequence flour has also advanced. p STATE TAXES. The following is the rate of taxation by the State for the years mentioned: 1890 $55.09. 1891 5.08. 1892 4.85. 18955 4.01. 1894 4.557. 1895 4.56. 1890 4,50. 1897 5 21. Atlanta is now watching the erection of a steel building at the junction of Broad and Peachtree streess. It will be 100 feet high. It is intended as an office building and will have 1552 offices. The entire frame work will be of steel and the stone and brick work is only intended to close it in. It is to be fire proof and earthquake proof, “so they say.” VIRGINIA STILL FOR SIL VER. At the recent State Conven tion in Virginia the Democratic party re affirmed its adhesion to tho Chicago platlorm and free silver. They have nomi nated for Governor Maj. Tyler, an out-and-out bi-metallist. BOTHERED HIM. The governor says that the Perry case has bothered him more than any case thut has come before him during his ad ministration. The question which has given him more trouble than any other is that of motive. What was Perry’s motive for shooting Lanier? He will make up his mind and render a decision today. South Carolina mobs are strip ping and whipping Morinou el ders. Atlanta got her first bale of cotton last Wednesday. It brought 8 j cents. Where is old Hutch ? The noted speculator was denounced throughout the country u few yi ill's ago because he wanted to corner all the bread stuffs go as to add to his millions. The re cent rise in wheat, whether brought about l»y combinations or not, has afforded speculators a fine opportunity to make for tunes. The New York World gives a list of men who have made from 50 to 500,000 dollars on wheat in the last 90 days. THE PERRY CASE. This case continues to attract attention, both at the capitol and all over the State. The summary manner in which he was tried, while excitement was at a high pitch in DeKalb on account of three recent murders; the fact that the Supreme court divided on the question as to his right to a new trial; the sensational affidavits that have been int roduced before the Gov ernor, all go to increase the public interest in this remark able case. The Governor has set to-day as the last day in which affida vits will be heard in the case, gives it more interest. The case is attracting wide spread attention all over the country. It was announced that the prosecution would attempt to attack Mrs, Perry’s character, which stirred up the defense, and affidavits of her good char acter from her childhood up are pouring into the Executive of fice. Wo clip the following from the Journal of yesterday: The prosecution introduced before the governor Mr. Veal, who was boarding at the house of Mr. Perry the Friday before the killing. Mr. Veal stated that he was on the porch aud Mrs. Perry was there also, about 4 o’clock Friday afternoon, when Lanier came to the house. Ho stated that Mrs. Perry fol lowed Lanier into the house and that Lanier remained in the house from 15 to 20 minutes and then came out again. As he passed out he stated that he was suffering very severely with earache. Yea! also stated that he did not hear of the rape un til Monday,the day of the kill ing, and that he did not tell Mr. Perry of this visit of La nier’s on Friday to his house. IHe also stated that shortly as- Greatest Triumph Of CHEMISTRY. Not Liniment, Not Salve, but Clean, Pleasant Liquid, As a dressing for Wounds, Burns, Bruises, Scalds, Etc., DR.

The prowentioD insisted that the effect of this testimony was to show that Mr. I-anier and Mrs. Perry were not in his room but downstairs. Tbe defense insisted that the evidence of Veal supported the position of the defense. Lanier came to the house pretending to have the earache, Mrs. Perry came down to v him sonu - medicine and came ac!< to iiis room, where the . ipe took place and they called utienti .n to the fact (hat Lanier in his dying declar ation never mice mentioned this visit, to Perry’s house and never accounted for it. The defense also introduced statements showing that on Sunday Pn ry stated, with tears in his eyes, that Lanier had out raged his wife and that he said this again at the shooting at In gleside and again at the shoot ing in Decatur and they intro duced telegrams lie sent imme diately after tlie killing to Mrs. Perry’s lather to the same ef fect. They also introduced a number of affidavits showing Lanier’s bud conduct with other women. A YOUNG MAX SUICIDES. EI.DRIDUE CASPER K11.1.S HIMHEI.F BECAUSE HIH SWEETHEART DIED.
