PLAIN
TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation OF
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify and enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the teeth, cause head
ache, and are otherwise injurious.
Browns IRON BITTERs will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it viii
net blacken the teeth, cause head
ache or constipation, and is posi-
lively not injurious.

1RoN BITTERS as tonic and re-
storative for my daughter, whom
I was thoroughly convinced was
wasting away with Consumption.
Having lost three daughters By the
terrible disease, under the care of
eminent physicians, was 10th to
believe that anything could arrest
the progress Of the disease, but, to
my great surprise, before my daugh-
ter had taken one bottle of BIowN's
Iron BrrrERs, she began to mend
and now is quite restored to former
health. A fifth daughter began to
show signs of Consumption, and
when the physician was consulted
he quickly said "Tonics were re-
quired = and when informed that
the elder sister was taking BRowN's
IRON BIrTERs, responded THAT is
good tonic, take it. -

The Last Blast.

Mr. W. J. Harbin, County Chairman of the
Grconback independent Labor Party Of Oconee
county, issued his last circular "to tho voters
and people Of Oconce county" few days pre-
vious TO the election. Mr.. ITarbin complains.
amongst other things, that wo refused to print
tho names of tho "Pcople's Ticket Immediately
under our editorial head and next to tho Demo-
cratic ticket. For once Mr.. IIarbin is right.
We refused for money TO insert tho peoples
Ticket" under our editorial head. We do not
advertise for any ono at that place. We place
the Democratic ticket there as matter of duty
and pleasure likcwiso. The ticket Of no other
party, however, can get place there. We
offered TO advertise his ticket In prominent
place in our advertising columns. This he re-
fused and now wantsSthe condemnation of oil
fair-minded men" to descend upon us for our
refusal to give his ticket tho place Of honor In
oar columns! Modest, MIR. Harbin.

The Elections.

The election for Congressman and State and
county officers takes place to-day (Tucsday) in
thirty three States of the Union-fivc States
having voted for these officers at IN earlier day.
Voting is a manly duty and presents to the
mind in this grand effort to preserve the liberties
of the people most imposing appearance.
Parties arc so evenly divided in Congress that
this election is looked to with more than ordinary
interest. The Democrats made gains in Ohio
and we look for more important results in New
York and Pennsylvania. Tho next few days
will be full OF interest in this respect.
Tho vote pollcd in Oconee County is q very
small one. Tho returns from fourteen boxes
foot up total Of 1860 votes. The two re-
naming boxes will not add moro than 100
votes, making total of about l,660 votes. Of
these thus far Col. Thompson, the Democratic
candidate for Governor, has received OFT votes
and McLane, Greenbacker, 682, showing our
majority up to this time to be about 400 votes.
The majority for members Of tho Legislature
md the county ticket is about the same. The
vote for Congress will probably show slight
falling off from these figures.
We hope to bo abo to give full statement
of the result next week. Our voting strength
IS about 8 200, and little over half of these
have been cns in this election.
The constitutional amendment to make new
counties was voted down nearly unanimously.
Tho other two amendments were carried by
nearly the same vote.

Veto of the Anti-Chinese Bill.

President Arthur has shown the courage of
his convictions and deserves well Of the country
for his manly and decided course in vetoing the
anti-chinese bill. The course which he has
taken will greatly increase the respect in which
he will be held by the masses of the Republican
party, who do not believe in such blind and dis
eliminating race legislation.
The Presidents objections to the bill are sub
stantially those which the calmest opponents of
the measure have given in Congress. The Pres
ident says the bill is virtually prohibitory of
immigration. and for that reason is in violation
of our treaty with China and breach of ma
tiona faith. The Presidents opposition to the
passport system, provided for by the bill. as
undemocratic, is obviously reasonable Russia
is the only country in Europe, in which this
relic of autOcracy new survives. The President
is not blind to the work which the Chinese have
done in developing California and calls special
attention to the injurious effect on American
commerce, of bill that, unless more carefully
guarded, must injure or destroy our increasing
trade with China. The President suggests that
the prohibition should be made experimental
that is, for brief period. for test purposes, and
mtimates that to prohibit all Chinese immigra-
ton, may be too sweeping. Lewiston Journal
The attempt tot pass the bill over the veto was
defeated in both Houses.
