How They Do Things in Fayette Count

How They Do Things in Fayette County.
Mr.. EDITOR: II the accompanying
secret circular, which the Democratic
executive committee of Fayette county,

civil district just p ecedip5 the last No
vember election (which fell into my
bands some weeks ago. rs not very fat
tering to the honesty aud fair dealing of
the Democratic party, it will at least show
the way and the manner that the Democ
racv of the county sought to put on foot
so they would carry The county at Sid
election. But inste d of the county
being carried by majority of 500 votes
for the Democrats, the returns gave the
Republicans about hat majority. Yet,
had the Sc eral districts in thecounty been
counted out as we'll as was done in dist
riot No. 4 the sanquine expectations of
the committee would have ben more than
realized For although the figures ofthe
table in the .'Show this to one but
true Democrats circular, llowed 100 as
a majority for the Republicans the tally
list that was sent up to Somerville, gave
No. 4, to the Democr is by about 100
majority. The document shows also,
what es innate the Democ acy of Fayette

two years as sheriff 0 the county, and in

The Athens Middle Again.

ATHENS, Tenn, June %, 1881.
Mr.. EDITOR A communication appears
in your paper to-day over the nom de plume
"Hombre," which, aside from being I'M
truthful in point of fact, does great violence
to the upright intentions, the honesty and
morality of large class of our people. The
petty misstatements which ''Hombre" has
made and applied indiscriminately would
not elicit any answer from the friends of
corporation in Athens, did they not set the
community in general at a disadvantage
abroad He claims that the anti-corpora-
ton party compose majority of the white
population and are mainly the property
owners of the town. Let us see. Twenty
three votes were cast against the corpora
ton out of 172 votes polled and only l6 of
these are taxpayers. Now, will any truth
full man contend that these 16 men represent
the taxable property of the town? The
statement, merely, is enough to stamp itself
out The statement is made that number
of persons living outside the corporate limits
and who had not been enrolled upon the list

and then appoint discreet and reliable men to
employ that money in the most advanta-
geous way.
Fifth. Suggest to the farmers of your dis
trict to employ as many of their laborers as
they can upon the day of the election at
special work, giving them extra pay for
their labor. In this way hundreds of them
can be kept from the polls altogether
Sixth IF the judges and clerks appointed
to hold the election in your district do not
care to serve or you soOu5d prefer other gen
tleme31 fer those positions request the first
appointees not to act, and then get the Off
Ger holding the election to appoint the men
YOU want. This can be done without any
trouble whatever.
BY carrying out these suggestions, and
such others as will doubtless occur
to you, we think you can make the
election returns approximate very
closely the estimates in the above table.
We earnestly hope that in no event you will
| allow the Democratic vote to ta1 5e5Oeo that
| estimate, but you will understand that we
do not limit you in the other direction.
Your majority cannot be too great. If some
of the districts would initiate the example OF
''the South :" and become 'solid we vii
not complain.
| We would advise you not to waste any
time or exertion trying to secure votes fol
the national ticket The State is safe fol-
Hancock by at least $4,000 majority, and
that is enough.
We rather think the same advice might be
given as to the candidates for governor
We are certainly not Indifferent on this sub
iect but on account of the unhappy anC
disastrous divisions in our ranks it is highly
probable that Hawkins will be elected, anC
this makes it all the more important that We
should certainly secure the legislature. The
political complexion of that body may be
determined by the vote of our county
Therefore zoe must carry the cootnty .to'
LduderGdIe, ,St0iao6ac5 and Smith. Neither
should we forget the Congressman, though
he is not in as much danger as those othe1
gentlemen.
This is our last communication to you be
fore the election The returns from you
district will be your answer hereto. W.
await them impatiently, hoping and behev
ing they will be all that we could desire.
Written and published by order of thu
committee.

Southern AntidOte for Malaria.

1t should be generally known that Sim
mons Liver Regulator, prepared by J. H.
Zeilin & Co, is relied upon to secure to the
people immunity from all malarial disorders.
That this medicine does what is claimed for
it is.preved by its popularity, and any one
who has lived in the South three years he S
no doubt seen its curative effects and the
protection it gives against the return Of this
weakening and dangerous malady.

Since the above circular has been put IL
type we learn that the n0t0rioUs J. c.
REEVES, so well known to our people, is il
the county, having arrived at Somerville
Thursday night. We all know what he was
brought here for, to stir up and arouse the
colored voters. Nothing could more forci-
bly, show the determination of the Republ-
can leaders to carry the election. and if any
thing was needed to awaken our own people
to the importance of the coming contest,
they certainly will find it in the presence Of
this danger signal. Let his arrival be known
and surely every Democrat will then go to
work Let hating and hesitation cease and
let US all de efmai7ae to eject our ticket THEN
IT WILL BE DONE.
