The meeting of the Worlds Fair
Committee at New York on the roth
inst, in the Governor room in the
City Hall. while n many respects no.
taple gathering, was not SO fully atten-
ded as many OF those interested in the
project wished. In this particular it
did not equal the meeting in the same
place in August last Bad walking
probably accounted for the absence
Of many elderly members Of the com
aittee resident in this city and its VI
entity. But it would not account for
the misrepresentation Of the States of
Alabama, Georgia. Louisiana, North
Carolina and South Carolina; never
theless great majority of the States
were represented either directly or by
proxy. NIissouri's representative was
Thomas B. Bullene. There was a
strong effort to obtain report from
the Finance COMMITTEE of the amount
actually pledged for the success of the
Fair. This was avoided by the men,
bers Of the committee, who declared
that it was necessary a site should be
selected before a resolutc effort could
be made to obtain subscriptions.
When this had been done, the work of
obtaining subscriptions would be easy.

At Their Old Tricks.

The local Democratic statesmen
have started their annual lies on the
rounds. They are busily telling now
that r. III. Jones has threatened, if
elected, to labor for the passage Of
laws against the interests Of the min
ers. This lie is just about idiotic
enough to make the Democratic
statesmen" very Jealous in circula-
ting it.
These Statesmen" should keep a
little quiet about the miners. It has
been but little over year since there
was a miners strike at Coalton. At
the very first demonstration Demo-
cratic officer appealed to the Governor
for troops. The Governor refused to
send them, unless the officer stated his
inability to preserve the peace. This
the officer promptly did, and the SOL
diers came. So much for Democratic
dove for miners
Bob Jones has been an industrious
workingman all his life. Mr.. Moore
according to the best evidence we
can obtain-has never been. Let the
workingmen, Democrats as well as
Republicans, vote for Jones. He is a
representative workingman.

cured from his druggist a bottle of

merit from physician, who told him not
to take any other Bitters or Tonic, for
with the exception of Browns Iron Bit
ters, they all contained alcohol, and had
failed to give his patients lasting relief;
nor should he take any other preparation
of Iron, for with the exception of Browns
Iron Bitters, they all blackened the teeth,
and often gave headache, which Browns
Iron Bitters never did, but in fact cured
headache. The effect was most satisfac-
tory; he Immediately realized wonderful
results. His old energy returned, his nat

to remain so ever since. Now he recon-

friends which we unhesitating do to all

Miller and WaSham.

There is not man in Jackson
County whom we regard as better fit
ted to run the Office Of Probate Judge
than FL. C. Miller.
Mr.. Washam, his opponent, is a
good feller," but has not Hillborn's
qualifications.
Miller is thorough Republican
Washam is "good feller," but a
Democrat.
Miller is one of our best citizens, a
consistent church member, and will
reflect credit upon the people who
elect him-Washam is a good feller.
Miller is man Of progressive ideas,
a man who would be valuable in any
community-Washam is a good feller.
We believe this is Miller's first can
vass for County office -Washam is
a good feller, but has about worn him
self out running for Office.
But it is hardly necessary for us to
go on comparing the two candidates.
Mr.. Washam is willing to admit that
there is no chance for his election.
Vote for Miller! Let US make his
majority magnificent one!

MoOre's Great Two.hOrse Act.

Learn wisdom from the serpent, in
dustry from the ant, and ''cheek' from
a Democratic office-seeker. Our old
friend John T.. Moore has advertised
himself as the candidate of the Tenn
perance, or Prohibition party, for
Representative. Mr.. Moore feels that
he is peculiarly lifted to represent the
idea of Temperance reform. True,
those who have known Mr.. Moore
longest believe that he should exercise
becoming modesty in his talk about
Temperance, but modesty never tenn
pers the zeal of Democratic office
seeker Mr.. Moore's conduct in pa
rading himself-or allowing his friends
to parade him-as the Temperance
candidate, is not only ungenerous to-
wards Mr.. Scott, it is absolutely in
sulting. Besides, whenever Mr.. Moore
claims to be Temperance candidate
he sets up a false pretense for the pur-
pose of gaining an office.
He is not the Temperance candidate; !;
he has never been a better temperance
man than R. Fl. Jones; perhaps no
man Of his age has done more against
Temperance reform than Mr.. Moore.
Now that he has concluded to play
the Temperance man, he should join
the Prohibition party and wait until
he gets his seat wrrm before setting
himself up as leader.
The fact Of the matter is, Moore is
running as regular old moss-back,
copper-bottom, ''damn-a-nigger'
Democrat. If elected he would act
with the Democrats in all things. He
would do nothing for Temperance, but
anything for Democracy. That is al
there is Of Moore as politician.

MR.. BooKwALTER is doubtless an honest man, and

easy. Bookwater ''gave the money all to one man,
while here and the rest have never been able to find

MR.. BooKwALTER closed the Leffel shops on the

Keenan, has made a good Treasurer
one of the very best the County has
ever had. He is young, active and in
telligent, is a good BUSINESS man, and
in every way an entirely safe man to
have in the Treasury. He is now a
candidate for his second term, and
there is no reason in the world why he
should not have rousing majority.
We should all turn out and vote for
Keenan,, and give him a well-merited
endorsement. We have not deemed it
necessary to say anything about Kee-
nan heretofore in the campaign for
two reasons-that everybody knew
him, and there was nobody running
against him. Now Mr.. Benton has
permitted the use of his name, but it
is not necessary to speak Of him furth-

shadow of a hope Of election.
