An Important Fact.
Oxford, Oct. Is, 1875.

The voluntary testimony of thousands es-
tablishes beyond all doubt fact of vital
Importance to the sick and debilitated, viz:
that ,stetter's Stomach Bitters is an abso-
Lutte speeiac for remttseht fever, dyspepsia,
constipation, biliousness, mental depression,
sleeplessness, chronic diarrhea, and all dis
eases Of the stomach, liver and bowels. The
unmedicated stimulants usually prescribed
in these cases only aggravate the symptoms,
instead of removing them. The Bitters,
on the contrary, act as a corrective and in
vigorant, without producing the unpleasant
and dangerous consequences of the old
school practice. The action is mild and
soothing 70 the irritated stomach and
bowels, promoting digestion and prevent
ing flatulence, nausea, headache aud all
intestinal irregularities. A wineglassful
before meals greatly assists digestion. The
convalescent may use them with great BEN
eft, as means of restoring strength and
cheerfulness.

We feel that we ought to say some
thing in regard to the recent action of the
Governor in disbanding the militia. We
commend the Governor for the act. II
it came late, it was none the less valuable,
for the peace will be preserved. We are
of those who desire to render justice to
all, and we do in this matter, although
the Governor does not belong to our
party, and although we have found too
many instances to bitterly blame him.
We hope the beginning he has made in
this instance is the first step IN new
departure which will render justice to
himself, his high position, and the great
interests over which he presides.

HINDs COUNTY,.


Ii Is reported that leading Radicals
are anxious for a compromise in this
CHinds) county, and the Senatorial
District, and unite both parties on the
same ticket, by an equal division Of the
Legislative members and county officers.
The Democrats and Conservatives are
entirely confident, of sweeping the field,
and believe that such . compromise would
be like the handle Of aug, all on one side.
II is no secret that the cplored MAJOR
ity Of only 1900 or 1900 viii not save the
Radical ticket from defeat. More than
enough colored members have Joined the
Democratic and Conservative Clubs TO
assure its defeat. Besides, the colored
people know that for six years, by their
votes, the Radicals have ruled the county
and State governments, aand that, as
turn about is far play, it is nothing but
right that the other side should have con
troll for the next two years.
Put the whole ticket through, boys.
You can do it it, you will. Every voter
will see the justice of the old rule, that
turn about is fair play, and will either
stand aside in the contest and refuse to
take part, or will help you to elect the
Democratic and Conservative ticket.

The trick is 80 plain that it glimmers
in blird mans eye. To prop up their
sinking cause, the Radical schemers in
Warren county have put Capt. Flana.
gan, the Democratic nominee for sheriff,
at the head of their ticket. The act il
confession of weakness and impotency.
Whoever before heard Of an act of dis
interestedness aud liberality on the part
of the grasping managers of the Radical
party? Their rule has been to prescribe
every man not within their circle and
fill all the offices from constable up Ia
Governor, with men of their own faith
and following. But now, presto, change
In Warren county, as elsewhere, in the
State:
1.-THE Devil is sick,
And the Devil saint would be"
We know the material of which the
Warren county Democracy are made of,
and that they are not to be caught with
chat. The cunning Radical managers
have thrown their chances for sheriff
overheard that they may save the bal
ance of their ticket from the wreck and
ruin that await the whole of them. But
the men of Warren don't intend to be
cheated out of their victory in that way.
Let the RAIDS vote for Flanagan if they
will, but that must not keep the boys
from scuttling the pirstical craft and
seuuIug the wnoIe crew to the bottom to-
gether.

The Desperate Game Of Desperate
Mem.

The Radicals, since the beginning of
the present canvass, have become desper-
ate. They first ried buster. 1t did
not work. Then they tried cajoling.
With no better success. Then mobs to
get Federal troops They met another
failure. Then intimidation through
their press and Warmers war-whoop.
Still apother failur, the white people
could not be intimitated. Then the mi
litia-no better success. Their hand is
almost played. They hold only two more
cards: One to PACK the polls on election
day, SO that Democrats and Conservatives
cannot vote. If this card is played
break the line at al hazards. The other
card is to let the Democrats do the voting
and Radicals will do the counting. If
you carry the election by the ballot, see
to it that you cary it upon the count
also. Let it be Understood that if any
superserviceable Registrar, Inspector or
Clerk attempts tbs game that he does it
at the peril Of his lie.
