WHILE some of our Southern jour
nails are for dividing the Democratic
party and succumbing to the Radical
iniquities, on the ground of "accom-
plished fact" and even going so far as
to pretend that "there can be nothing
more obligatory" it is not a little re-
markable that the Radical organs are
doing precisely the same thing. For
ney's central and leading organ, at
Washington, for instance, has the
following:
The Democratic National Committee
invokes submission to the avs of Con-
gress and the amendments to the Consti-
tuition. Such, also, is the counsel of the
New York World, the Louisville Courier
Journal, the Richmond Wing, q other
Democratic-C Conservative oracles.
To this untruthful statement of the
situation, "X," the equally able and
well informed correspondent Of the
Baltimore Gazette, gives the following
unanswerable and crushing response
If it be meant, in this extract, to init
/ mate that the IN atlOna1 COMMITTEES" nave

trustworthy leading members of that

giving the enemy the least ground fol

SENIOR LEMUs, the Cuban patriot,
who is regarded as the head of the
Cuban Junta in the United States, in
answer to a letter from Senior Azca-
rata, who, as a Spanish Republican
invited Cuban cooperation in the
political regeneration of Spain, says:
Convince yourself, my friend, that there
can be no lasting peace 10 our country
until Cuba is governed exclusively by
Cubsns; that is, by natives of the island,
or those who, from other reasons, may
have irrevocsbly identified their future
with her progress. No other solution
will be willingly accepted by my country
men, and to force any other upon them
would be to revive animosities, to still
further excite passions, and to prolong a
V-ost painful situation, and with it such a
dissidence, and finally such desperation
rs would eliminate eventually in a revO-
luton, If possible, more sa~nguinary than
the present one.
This must be taken as the official
utterance of the Cuban revolutionary
authorities, and as decisive of their
determination for independence.

ALABAMA.

Nine prisoners escaped Monday
from the Huntsville Jail.
In 1860 Alabama had 743 miles of
railroad; in 1866 the State had sol
miles, in 1867 it had S51 miles, while
in 1869 the aggregate had increased to
1881.
Maj. Jos. II. Sloss, having been
nominated as the Democratic candi-
date for Congress in the 9Th district,
has retired, temporarily, from the
editorial chair of the North ALo6a-
milan and Times.
The population of Huntsville:
white males, 1871; white females, 1873
total whites, 2719. Black males,
Il46; black females, 1513-tOtal blacks,
1859. Total population, 1913. This
is much below the general estimate.
The Alabama. Radical Convention
nominated Smith for Governor; Bur-
ton for Lieutenant Governor; Rapier,
a negro, for Secretary of State; Bing-
ham for Treasurer; Cloud for School
Superintendent, and Morse for Attor-
pey General.
The Hon. r. b. Lindsay, who was
nominated for Governor of Alabama,
last week, by the Alabama Democratic
State Convention, was a Douglas
Democrat; an able and interesting
speaker and debater; a modest, truth
ful, honorable and honest gentleman,
with an unbounded popularity where
ever known. &c
The splendid and valuable Touring
mill belonging TO Major Walker Rey-
nolds, situated on Talladega creek,
about ten miles below the town of
Talladega, Alabama, was completely
destroyed by fire last Thursday.
Seven hundred bushels of wheat, be-
sides a large quantity of other grain
and -four, was also burned. The loss
is estimated at $4,000.

by parents upon the failure of their
child to be promoted into higher

STRANeE.-Some of the citizens of
the county, who naturally feel an in
terest in its affairs, will undoubtedly
think 1t strange that the lengthy report
of the proceedings Of the last meeting
OF the Supervisors, published herewith,
should he so indefinite as regards the
sale of large quantity of Indemnity
Land. lfso, wecsn not enlighten them.
We only know that the chairman
of the Committee to sell made a verbal
report, no inkling of the substance of
which appears upon the records, which
was adopted and the Committee
empowered by resolution to make deeds
for the land. This looks all the more
strange from the fact that verbal reports
have been uniformly descountenanced;
and that at the last meeting member of
the Board sternly reprimanded the
County Attorney for delivering to that
body a verbal instead of written
opinion, as its legal advisor.
To our mind, the report Of the Com
mittee to sell the county land would
have looked rather better upon the re.
cord Of proceedings than the petition re.
garding railroad survey, which was
presented by the same Supervisor who
reprimanded the Attorney and himself
made the verbal report, and which,
evidently intended rs telling bur-
lesque, just succeeded in demonstrating
some ones right to long ears. .

"Aet this world wag asst " i'll
I'll be gay aud happy still.'
So sang Il man one day last
week as he came out Of the
Boot e. Shoe. HIT g. Gun
Establishment known as the
BIG BOOT. Thinking it
singular that any sane man sho'd
use such unheard Of expressions
during such general depression
and hard times, our curiosity be-
came excited, and we entered the
Establishment to enquire the
cause of this mans high spirits
and queer expressions; but won-
der! our spirits began to go up
ward when Mr.. NJ. informed us
he had just received his Spring
Stock Of Boots and Shoes, Hats
and Caps, and for CASH, was
selling them lower than ever. In
looking over his stock (Which we
assure our readers is completely ;
we were surprised to see splen-
did ladies' serge fine finish full
Polish Lace Boot for only $3.50,
something unknown since before
the war. And we really think,
from the quality and finish of the
goods, and the prices marked on
them (which are in plain figures
so all may know, that Mr.. Nj. is
selling his goods close on the
heels of the general decline in
prices.
c wish to call particular at
tention to- his stock of Hats and
Caps, Which appears to be very
full now, and yet he informs us
that he is expecting a heavy
invoice from New York this week
and when they arc in he will
have the Largest & Finest
stock of Fur, Silk, Felt, Wool,
Panama, Legholni, Palm and
Straw in town. AS his is the only
House that Hats and Caps are a
speciality Of course he can sell
the cheapest.
We wish again to call special atten-
tion to his Custom Shop. Mr.. Camp
bell is generally known to make tile
neatest and best fitting Boot Of any
man in Cedar county; and the very best
brands Of French Calf and Kip are now
used in the Shop we were shown some
Calf costing $3.50 per Id. at wholesale,
/ and we predict Il heavier shop business
than ever. Mr.. Ed. Weeks gives his
individual attention to repairing. The
neatncss and workmanlike manner in
which he does his work is too well
known to need comment from us.
We feel confident that - i, only nee
essnry to call at the BIG Boot examine
goods and inquire prices to become a
permanent customer
There is no doubt about the place for the
BIG BOOT can be seen from one end of the
town to the other. 1919

We have no desire to say disparag-

p The boarders and not the landlords
may hold the feelings that are to blame
for these senseless exhibitions, and the
latter thus be somewhat excusable on
the score of interest; but the fine haired
gentlemen who "would starve before
they would eat with a Niger" (they
always use two gs) when the probability
is that if stripped to the buff, he would
be found cleaner than they; and if less
polite and more ignorant which is doubt
full, it is his misfortune and not his
fault-bah! they should be given the
side table, with male or female ace of
spades apiece to handle their edibles
and bend over them ilr mental minis
trations. They never object to that.
Sense aud smell are obilvious then, and
the closer the relation the happier they
are.
