To the Editor Of the Bro.Ka.vsn LsaIsr;

This communication address to Won in
order that the subject on which I write
may he presented directly to the minds of
the people through your most excellent
paper, provided yOl see fit to publish the
communication. | have been in your lit
Tie town (BroOkhaven) more OF less for the
past three weeks, and have watched the
movement of all the candidates and their
manner of electioneering and must say to
their credit, as | consider, and to nv graft
tication, not a single one have been able
to sec enter the saloons with his friends To
treat. My mind was called back Just few
wears, when | considered the bar-rOum but
the school of American politics. Each
year many would go staggering up to the
ballot-bOx todeposit the vote which should
elect to the responsible government of this
mighty Republic the candidate whom
their drunken Intelligence taught them to
I've proper persons. What a sad reflection
But | am glad that have been climbing
these last years the hills of hope, aud have
got up to the point where can see these
depl"rable things beng left off May we
not trust n reform at tho hands of the
present candidates and urge them to be
faithful to the interests and welfare of the
rising generation which il soon to take
hold of the political government of this
country 1t Is said of crime that the way
to get rid of it Is to stop raising criminals.
Drunkness is an item governed by the same
rule. l think that it is qnite important
that the candidates of the present cam
paIgn consider well this matter and be
united i'll checking the tide of "Whiskey-
COIN to buy votes with. | have talked
with quite number Of the candidates
(whose names | shall remember even to
the bal ot-box) who express to me not
only their willingness to reverse this prac-
tice, but the determination to establish he
reverse upon solid foundation or he left
in the attempt, and ] firmly believe the
time is in the near future when man who
resorts to the whisky policy for votes, can
not be elected to office.
With these remarks close for the pres
ert, hoping to hear from other readers of
your paper and voters of the coun. Y.
Yours,

Important so Cotton Planters

Elsewhere in to-day's paper will be
found an advertisement of the famous
LonuOn Purple, to which we direct the
special attention of all of our planting
friends whose crops are in danger of being
destroyed by the cotton worm. There gan
be no question from the testimonials we
have before us, that this is the
cheapest and most effective agent ever yet
discovered for the determination of the
above destructive insect. The Planters
Journal of Yicksburg, Miss, which is
recognized as the standard authority on
Southern farming and which is the official
organ of the National Chiffon Planters As
socIation of America, fully endorses ~Lon-
don Purple" and recommends its use as
the best, safest and cheapest cotton worm
poison. Our farmer friends whose crops
are threatened should not fail to give it a
trial.

NnendviIie Notes.
MEANWHILE. Anr. 10. 1S93.

MHADVILLE, Aug. lO, 1888.
TO the editor OF he Leaier
The Board Of Supervisors and the Board
of Equalizers began work the first Monday
and were busy all the week. Many slight
changes have been made in the ass,.ss-
mcnts but not enough in the aggrL gate to
pay the expenses of the Board The law
creating the Board of Equalizcrs is very
unpopular with our people, and I think
deservedly so. IL is wrong in principle
and expensive in practice. The law re-
quires every man to give in, on oath, n cor
rect list of all of his taxable property, and
its correct value. This is all right, but
now the law com s in AMI makes detec-
tive of every mans neighbOr to see if he
swears the the truth. In other words, this
law saystO every man you are a sCOundrel
ready to peTjure yourself to avoid the pay
ment of few cents tax, aud it is necessary
to place detective it your door to prevent
you from doing it.
Crops are seriously damaged, and it il
feared that the present crop will he the
shortest that we have had for several
years. Early corn is fair crop, but all
late planting is nearly destroyed. Cotton,
potatoes, peas and sorgum, are being seri
Ously damaged by the drouth.
There is good deal of sickness in the
county and several cases in the village.
Miss Fannie Adams, daughter of our Cir
cuit Clerk, has been dangerously sick, but
is better, also Charlie Williams ana his sis
ter Rosanond, children of Capt. s. f. Will
liams.
We are glad to see our young friend
Walter Irwin on the streets again, he has
had narrow escape.
The Board of Supervisors ut its last
meeting, granted license to John Calc0te
to retail liquors AZ Hamburg, on Monday
last. This is the first saloon license that
has been granted III this county for the last
three or fou@ years. Dor.

veution, was proceeding to the nomination

when Il question arose as to the rule to be
adopted by the convention in making the
nomination, some favoring the two-third
rule, and other the majority rule. There
being but two candidates before the con
vention, the majority rule was adopted.
Upun the adoption OF this rule, the dele
gates from two of the election precincts
al IA part from the third, with rev from
the convention. This created Some CON
fusion which soon subsidized, however, and
the remaining seven ard half precincts
proceeded to the nomination. On the first
ballot Hon. Thos. A. Magee was nomi-
mated.
On motion, the chair appointed ten dele
gates to meet with like delegation from
he county of Jefferson to meet in Il Dis
trict Convention for the nomination of Il
candidat. for State Senator for the district
composed of Franklin and Jefferson coun-
ties. One delegate was appointed from
each precinct, and were sent without in

DR.. n. B. Wolfe, of Cincinnati, now upon
a brief visit to Sacramento, sends US the fol.
loving:
EDS. RECORD UNION; In this morning is
sue Of your paper an editorial appears in
reference to a Commission created by the
University Of Pennsylvania to investigate
spiritual phenomena, the expense of which
is 70 be borne by the estate of the Late Henry
Seybert, of Philadelphia.
For many years prior to his death Mr..
Sey bert was quite familiar with spirit phe-
nomena. Il is more than twenty-five years
since l visited his circle-roons, which he kept
open at his own expense, paying for the ssr-
vices OF the best mediums he could engage.
But, like Swedenborg, Mr. eYhert looked at
spirit phenomena through the haze Of s
church organization. He was q most 6evouG
Catholic, AID az such constructed an altar
in a large room set apart Tor held
ing circles, AID had it eI5raYsgsEtly
ornamented with church symbols
Mediums we're required TO oiiciate in regular
clerical costumes. It il hardly necessary to
say that the parade of such suits and sym
bols" did not in the least assist the spirits TO
manifest. If the men be has authorized BY
his bequest to Investigate the phenomena of
spiritualism follow his lead they will accom-
plish nothing valuable to mankind. 1t is 8
useless expense, AiiI VIII ehScs HOsAAES III
changing the opinions Of men.
If any Of your readers want to know for
themselves whether o1r friends in the spirit
world can return to earth and show their
faces and forms and speak Ia audible tones
TO their loved ones on earth, all they have to
do is to form circles in their own family,
with FIVE or six sitting around a table with
the palms Of their hands resting lightly upon
it. If they do this for an hour, repeating
the experiment twics or three times week
for three or fouHweeks, tsble-tipping, raps, CT
writing will surely be manifested aud, then,
there is no end 20 the variety of phenomena
that will subsequently tske place.
Spiritualism, IS we know it, doea not ask
the Endorsement of suY man or society Of
men. The supreme want of the MUD IS
truth. and whenever this is found, men viii
follow it. Respectfully, etc.
