Straight Democracy.

The election in Dodge township, fol-
township officers, is exciting more than
usual interest, and no doubt will be an
extraordinary occasion on election day
On Tuesday the Democracy of the town
ship held caucus and it was agreed to
run straight Democratic ticket. With
this object in view a call was made and
generally signed by the faithful, calling
for a township caucus for the nomi-
nation of candidates, on Tuesday next,
and inviting the cooperation of all
anti-prohibitionists The opportunity
is now offered of taking straight De
mocracy and straight whisky. 1t would
seem that the Importance in this cleo
ton is free whisky and free Democracy
which are one and inseparable.
''For several days past number of
Arabs have been wandering about the
city, selling foreign trinkets and beg
ging aims At the depot, they have
been staying during the night. By
some mistake they stopped here, and
are anxious to get on to Coolidge. The
familiarity which they have of our Ian
guage is very meagre, and it is next to
impossible for any one to understand
what they want. The strangeness Of
their costumes. and the popularity of
their speech make them objects of con-
siderable staring. Something should
be done for them by the authorities, as
it is thought they are without money"

Meeting OF the Commissioners to the
Worlds Exposition.


At win be seen below the commissioners
appointed by the Governor for this conn
ty have had q meeting and requested the
Bcar'l of Supervisors to appropriate 5000
to make display. This opport unity for
advertising the lands of this county and
its availability TO the industrious people
seeking home may not occur again in
many generations. To say that we are
too poor to make the appropriation and
take the chances of resulting benefits is
virtually to say that we have q county

tually 10 admit tina. we are on "'the lift"
as they say of an old COW that is down
and can't get up.
These commissioners are live men and
mean business; but it should not be ex-
pected of them that they will in addition
to their time pay all expenses of collect
ing the samples Few men are able to
give the best bale of cotton raised in the
county, but the commissioners ought to
have it. The best barrel of corn and po-
tatoes, and oats, and turnips, and molas-
ses, ETC., ETC., should be sent forward,
but the farmer ought to be paid for it
cash down.
Now let the Board do its duty and we
believe that our own people will be as
tonished when they visit the great
Worlds Fair, at the display of the coun-
tvs resources.

Believing that our common school
system shoald be improved and
perfected before any more Universi-
ties or Colleges were established by
the State, We We're never an advo-
cate for the establi shment of a State
Industrial School for girls, and were
strongly inclined to look upon the
enterprise under the most favorable
surroundings, as an expensive and
doubtful experiment. 1t was there
fore not strange that we didn't lie
awake nights and lose sleep on ac-
count of our anxiety as to where it
should be located. We must say
now, however, that if there was
anything lacking to complete our
skepticism on the question of Fl lal
success, and further to d.feat the
main object of the institution and
it's principal chance Of su :cess, it
was the selection OF location. And

Pursuant to call, number OF tho COM
missioners appointed by the Governor
assembled at the office of the Sheriff,
when on motion, Capt. JAS A. Hoskins
was elected President and J. B. Chris
man requested to act as Secretary.
The President explained the object of
the meeting and there was an informal
discussion of the subject, resulting in the
adoption of the following resolutions;
Resolved, That we will exert ourselves
to make for Lincoln county creditable
display of it's industries and resources,
provided the Board of Supervisors will
appropriate $500 to forward the enter
pIise.
Resolved, That we will not take the
responsibility nor incur the labor and ex-
pcnse of making an exhibition for the
county, unless the Board will cooperate
with us.
Resolved, That we earnestly urge
them to do so, and that we believe we
can make such showing by statistics and
the collection of samples of the county's
industries and resources as will make the
appropriation suggested a profitable in
vestment for the taxpayers.
Resolved, That we do now adjourn till
the lst Monday of October next.

The Government Exhibits ct ths
Worlds Exposition.

The interest of the Worlds Ex-
position will be wonderfully en-.
hanced by the exhibits of the several
Departments OF the Government.
The Executive Board, to whose
hands has been entrusted the max
ing of this exhibition, coa-ists of
representatives from all the De-
par:mcnts, the Smithsonian Insti-
tute, and the Agricultural Bureau.
The Department of the Interior,
represented by Hon. Benjamin But
terwortb, Commissioner of Patents,
will be fully represented. 1t touches
through its many bureaus every
great industrial interest, and is q
powerful agency for the settlement
of the country, and the development
Of it's varied natural sources Of
wealth. Having within it's control
the land and patent offices, the
geological survey, the care of the
Indians, and the educational inter
ests Of the nation, there is scarcely
anything in our national life that
is not benefited by its operations.
The interest of education will be
looked after by Gen. John Eaton.
Gen. Eston's reputation is as wide
as civilization. He is q man of
clear mind, of great executive
ability, and a tircless worker.
Through his judicious efforts the
educators Of the world have been
brought into correspondence, with
results mutually advantageous. The

Lynching in Franklin.

On last Saturday night, goth inst.
about forty or fifty armed men rode
into Meadville, forced jailor Porter
to give up the Jail keys, disarmcd
the guards and took out the follow.
ing prisoners and lynched them:
Munroe Williams, col, charged
with attempt to rape the little Bal
lard girl near Veto.
Richard Taylor, charged with the
murder Of negro named Barker.
near Meadville.
Tom johnson, col, charged with
the murder of a negro on the L. N.
o. Il T. Railroad.
Andrew Cassell, COL, charged
with robbing and burning the house
of Richard Sessions, near Knoxville.
1t was described as q most ghast-
ly sight when the sun rose next
morning to see the four corpses sus-
pended between heaven and earth
two to limbs Of trees inside the
Courthouse yard, one to cross
beam Of the yard gate, and one to
china limb, his throat also cut, just
outside the enclosure where Tom
Bailey was lynched about eighteen
months ago.
There were four other negro
prisoners in the Jail at the time
one CHARGED with an assault and
attempt to kill; one with rape, one
with arson and one with stealing
hogs, but they wero unmolested, it
is presumed, because there was
strong doubt of their guilt. Brown
Sullivan, white, charged with the
murder of young Freeman in Jeffer-
son, and who has obtained change
Of venue to Franklin, was sail by
the guard to have been the first one
asked for, but be had not then been
delivered to the Franklin authorities,
and thus narrowly escaped the fate
of the four negroes. The Sheriff Of
Jefferson reached Meadv'lle with
him Sunday evening, just after their
burial.
The mob left word to the Court
that if the Jail wasn't cleaned out
this term they would call again.
The lynching is greatly deplored
and warmly condemed, as it should
be, by the great body of the people
of Franklin, and diligent effort will
be made t, discover the perpctra-
tors.
The trial of Brown Sullivan has
been set for next Monday, and that
of Dan Sullivan tor Wednesday.

The following shows how Blaine
organ, the Oskaloosa Herald, can
lie to its Iowa audience for political
effect.
just before the Democratic Ma
tional Convention jeff Davis wrote
that he was opposed to pensions to
soldiers who had served in a civil
war. After the convention, and
after reading the platform on pen
sions, he changed his mind, and now
feels sure that there is something in
store for the cOnfederates. 1t is
asserted by nearly all southern Con-
gressmen, now running for Con
gress, that the platform means pen
sions alike for the COnfederates and
Union soldiers. AS the South will
push the Democratic members they
will define the platform honestly.
Just what it means, and there will
be no further pension legislation in
the interest of the Union sollier,
unless the Confederate shares with
him if the Democrats control. Mark
that down.
