Is it eggs-ageratedG The Knoxville
Dispatch is responsible fer the statement
that five men, living in the vicinity of
our neighboring village, Talbott's Sta
ton, ate 151 eggs-over two dozen for
each man-withouti ntermission of time
At last accounts they were still alive.
We would treat this with incredibly
if it were not for the fact that we have
had demonstrated before our own eyes
what the human stomach is capable of
surviving. Why, in this very town, not
twelve months since, one man alone ate
16 large potato onions, raw, without
without salt, bread or water,
and to-day has the best physique of any
man in the county. We could give his
name if necessary. Now, if you have
anything to stake on egg-eating, prance
your champions up here and We'll bet
ten to one on our man eggs-tinguishing
any two of them in fifteen minutes.

Profession VS.. Practice.

The platform adopted by the Democratic
National Convention contains the following
"The right to free ballot is right preventative
Of all rights and must and shall be mai tanned in ev
cry part of the United States"
This is essentially the republican doctrine
and is hostile to the policy pursued by the
democratic Congress, which denies that the
Federal government representing the United
States has any power to supervise cleo
tions at which Presidential Electors and
Representatives to Congress are voted for
But passing by this important discrepancy
between the democratic record and the Gin
cinnati profession, let us see how democratic
practice in the Southern States which have
fallen under democratic control within the
past few years coincide with the platform.
Before the last Presidential election, Alaba-
ma passed under democratic rule. Let us
compare the votes of few counties in that
State before and after that change:

occupied by Mr.. Ivory Chick, wife and his
son. Sylvester Chick, his wife Aurelia, and
child, Freddie A., fine boy of eight years,
two well agreed and happy families, all in
good health till recently. 1t now appears
that the past week the younger Mrs. Chick
has exhibited signs of insanity, and has
boen under the special care and watch OF the
families. Her condition was unknown to
the neighbors.

hearing fearful screams from the lad, rushed
toward the river where he found his wife
landing on the marsh the lifeless body of her
only child, Fred, whom she had drowned in
a lagoon between the house and the river
where the water was only about two feet
deep. The boy was hardly dead. but in the
excitement and in the absence of skilled
assistance the efforts to resuscitate were in
vain. From remarks made by the mother
to the summoned physician, it seemed her in
tention was to commit immediate suicide.
Mrs. Chick in health is a most competent
and worthy woman. She has been married
the last time only about six months, the
murdered son being child of her first mar
riage to brother of the present husband.

majority.
This list might be continued until it should
include half the parishes of the State, but
the above will suffice to indicate the difference
between the practice of the democrats of the
Hancock States of the South and the declara-
ton of the Democratic National platform
The wonderful results indicated by the above
figures were brought about until last year by
organized violence. Last year the democrats
had the counting Of the votes. How well
they remembered their duty to their party is
shown in the above parishes where a republic
can vote of more than l3, 800 and a republi-
can majority of more than $500 in 1875 was
changed in 1879 to republican vote of less
than 1000 and democratic majority of l2,-
900.
The above figures tell their own story. To
attempt to add weight to their testimony of
outrage upon suffrage would be as ''wasteful
and ridiculous excess" as

twelve or fifteen deaths principally children.

dwellings at the same time. The schools

cratic regime which was established by the
''shot gun" policy, the democratic majority
was ~, 56S. A year later the republicans
saw that it was no use to run the risk of be-
ing murdered to cast votes that would not be
counted. and consequently made no nomina-

and violence and yet the Cincinnati platform
declares for a free ballot.
