Editor of THE CLARION:
As your paper has a large circulation
among the voters of Rankin county, l
desire the use of your columns to an
nounce my declension of the candidacy
for Circuit Clerk of that county,
on the Republican ticket. While 1
duly appreciate the compliment rendered
me by people who have known me from
childhood, it would not be proper for me
to continue in the attitude of a candi-
date of party whose policy, as indicated
by Gov. Ames, do nOtapprove.
Yours Respectfully,
w. II. MANNERY.

Lincoln County.

This equity is all right and will make
clean sweep for the Democratic-Conse
vatIve ticket in November Theirs is a
white majority of $50. The large num-
Der of 254 white men have registered
who never have registered before. The
election of McNair to the Legislature and
of the whole ticket is an assured fact
But Lincoln must do more than that,
she must roll up majority for Jagers
large enough to counterbalance the ma
jority Amite may give for the Republican
candidate-if Amite should go that way
which is by no means foregone conclu-
sion.

EDITORS CLARION: AT meeting of
t the Terry Democratic Club, held this
day, the following preamble and resolu-

and on motion of Gov. A G. Brown,
the Secretary was instructed to furnish
The CLARION with copy for publica-
| ton:
Whereas, it has been the custom of
Clubs, of the apparent character of this,
to dissolve with the existing canvass
and Whereas, the issues involved In this
canvass are not ordinary but most ex-
traordinary, involving our very existence
as people, or as peoples and whereas, we
have felt ourselves called upon to pledge
ourselves unitedly and personally to our
colored fellow-citiZens and fellow-clubs-
men to protect them In their freedom.
to-wit, their right TO cast their votes
against the vile vampires who have made
themselves masters of the colored mans
vote, and who know full well that the
only means by which they can keep their
hold upon the public treasure is to con-
tinue to follow out their policy of engen-
dering the most deadly hatred between
the two races and, whereas, we recog-
0lZe TIE Idcb InaI SdIeLy, permanent
peace and prosperity can only be brought
to the country by concealing the color of
the colored mans skin, in a grand con-
centrated and continued effort of the
honest and intelligent men of both races
to drive the present masters of the col
Ored man, and despoilers of his as well |
as all other prosperity of our country, !
from place and power, and placing honest
and intelligent men in power therefore, |
Be it Resolved, That the continued |
existence of our organization until such
time as honesty and intelligence is per-
manently established in power and place,
and the righteous contempt of the honest
men of both races shall drive the distur-
bers of the peace of the country-thieves
and murderers-from power and place is
a necessity.
Resolved, That we do not for one mo-
ment entertain the thought of disorgan-
izing after the coming election, but
pledge ourselves to continued organiza-
ton until such time as honest colored men
may be allowed to cut themselves loose
from the "color-line" party and unite
with honest and intelligent men to bring
peace and prosperity to all.

The voluntary testimony of thousands es-
tablishes beyond all doubt fact OF vital
i'm portance to the sick and debilitated, viz ::
that II 1stetter's Stomach Bitters is an abso-
lutte specific for remittent fever, dyspepsia,
constipation, biliousness, mental depression,
sleeplessness, chronic diarrh1a, 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 20 the irritated stomach and
bowels, promoting digestion and prevent
ing fatulence, nausea, headache and 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.
