Club at this place. that already numbers its
strength by hundreds and we expect in a
short time to have on our roll the names OF
three fourths OF the voters of this Supervi-
sor's District. Other clubs are being or
ganized and we expect before the election
to perfect the organization of our county.
Col. r. o. Reynolds and Gen1 j. H.
Sharp made stirring speeches to large and
appreciative audience at this place to-day !;
both of these are able speakers and are
doing good work in the campaign.
Col. Lamar is making a thorough canvass
of the District. He is making the most
powerful speeches that have been heard in
this part of the State for many years. In
fact the people say the like was never
heard here before. He has large crowds to
hear him and he leaves a perfect blaze of
enthusiasm behind him wherever he goes.
He spoke to large crowd at Fulton to-day,
he speaks at Shannon tomorrow, at Ches-
terville nextday, and the next day at Pom
totoc. He will beat FlournOy, Brown, Ad-
ans and any others that may come out In
the interest of Grant or DISCRIMINATION

We only wish he could speak all over the
country.

A large crowd turned out on Tuesday
night to welcome our Congressional stand
ard-bearer, Col. Shelby, who to their
disappointment, was not present, in con-
sequence of other engagements. The
time was, however, well occupied by Col.
s. 8. Calhoon, Gen. j. z. George and
Hon. A. r. Johnston, whose able adj
dresses embraced the whole argument of
the Liberal cause. 1t was one of the
finest meetings ever assembled at the
capitol.

Is IT UsrMOUs?-Some of the members If
the loan associations of this town who. we
believe, have borrowed out their share Of the
FUNDS, are trying to impeach the character Of
the associations by charging them with usurv
ana one or two are making an effort to have ,Lc
question brought before the State courts
ouch an act would be perfdious on the part of
those making that charge. They knew as
m lch about the character Of the iusttu.
tlons at the time they entered them as tbev
no" do and to charge usury upon them after
they have derived all the benefits there was in
store for them, is sheer treachery EvidentIv
usury is not the question with them, or they
would either never have entered them or have
brought up the question before they took their
benefits. Their object is to shirk the resnons;.
bllitS they have incurred and make usprv tbo
pretext. Under the circumstances. even iftbe
plea OF usury were sustained their condnct
wou Id be treacherous. But such a plea is not
hkely to be sustained. The question has
recently been brought before the courts in Ri
