Honesty and Merit Rewarded.

The old notices that "Honesty is the best policy" and "Merit brings it's own reward," were never more forcibly illustrated as absolute truths than in the introduction of AGUINE. In bringing this family medicine be fore the public the proprietors have in every instance been honest Tn their statements and have never tried to force sale by inducing peo pie to buy it for diseases which they know are either incurable, or for which their remedy is not an abso- lute cure in every instance. Nor do they depend on statements alone, but at great expense have made q free distribution of sample bottles, Tn order that the public might be convinced without expense that this remedy stands on it's merit alone, and will do all that is claimed for it. That this policy has brought its re- ward is shown in the immense sale of this splendid specific, and any one troubled with Malarial Disor- ders of any nature, such as Chills and Fever, Ague, Malarial Fever, Intermittent Fever, Bllliousness, Loss of Appetite, and Liver comp laints brought on by malarial causes, may feel assured, after q single trial, that Aguine is very important medical discovery and deserves it's great popularity as family medi cine. Particularly adapted to the Southern climate.

Which is the Better?

C0rrc5pondencc or the Democrat
 It has been the writer's hope tc see some staunch friend of the dem ocratic party in Pope county ster forward and take bold stand in nd. vocacy of the tlme-tested and good old democratic nominating conven- ton this year,in contradistinction tc the recent innovation known as pri- mary elections. But it seems tha, there is no one to take the lead; and so, to open the question for discus sion and consideration, the writer wishes to submit few thoughts.
 It is conceded that if there ever has been time when the democracy should stand solidly together, and when discord might prove disastrous, that time is right now. And the plans and party nsages which will be most likely to secure discipline and harmony in the party arc the plans for us to adopt this year.
 ]. start out with the proposition that we need this year our@trongest men in front. The question now arises how can we get the strong est candidates nominated? Under which plan--the convention plan, or the primary election plan do the weaker aspirants stand the best chance to secure the nomination.? l say under the primary election plan. Under which plan can chicanery and fraud be tue more easily and sue cessfully practised? say under the primary election system. Under which plan are we most liable to have independents and bolters? I say under the primary election plan. Now all I ask is for the democrats of this county to think of this and see if this is not just so.
 There is no use, Mir. Editor, of lodging facts. We had better look them square in the face. There are scores of democrats who have had just about enough of the deception and fraud and corrupt means used at primary elections, and they have patiently waited for the craze to pass of and for the people to return to their senses and to the old usages of the party.
 What do you suppose would be the result, MT. Editor, if the democ- racy should try the primary election plan in Pulaski county? Wide spread demoralization and corruption not excelled in the palmiest days of rad realism would ensue.
 Mir. Editor, let some of the advo cates of the plan give their objec- tions to conventions.

At times, symptoms of indiges- tion are present, as flatulency, uneasi- ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture.

1st. The new Digest will soon be ready for the printer, and will, in a few months be distributed to the VI; !: rious County officers.
 2d. The law providing for the di- gcsting of the Statutes requires the "contracting board, before printing, to take out copyright of said Di- gcst, in the State" By this provis- ion of the Act, the School Law as digestcd by Judge Mansfield, cannot be published until after it's publica- tion in the new Digest.
 3d. The new Digest will be care fully examined by the members of the General Assembly, and think it very probable that an examination of the present School Law will in- duce the next Legislature to make some needed changes. If this should be done, there would then arise a necessity for another edition of the School Laws immediately.
 4th. The Digester has made some important changes by deciding that certain Sections have been repealed, or are inconsistent with some subse- quent legislation
 9th. If @ publication of the School Law should be made at this time the Sections would not conform to those in the Mansfield Digest. which would create confusion in the minds of some.
 trust you will do this office the favor to explain to all persons apply Ing to you for copies of the School Law, the reason why it IS not pub lished. Respectfully,

Correspondence of the Democrat.
 We are harmonious and arc adding to our numbers as fast as good mate rial comes within our bounds. Bro. D. Love (Pres., of Holly Bend lodge) and some others were with ns at our last meeting. Bro. Love gave us some "lively racket" and although one of the multitude who have an nounced for assessor, is q man whose heart is in the right place.
 Why do B. of F. sign fictitious names to their communications to the DEMOCRAT? Are they ashamed of the order, or of the doctrines they advocate? Sign up brethren, it leaves less chance for fraud.
 It really appears that some men cannot divest themselves of party prejudice long enough to think of the welfare of their country or the good of their fellow men. They fol- low their party leaders blindly what ever principle they may advocate and never ask whether it is right or wrong so long as the party name is retained.
 We expect the lawyer to plead for the felon, he has made it hls business to work for the man that pays him. We may expect the political paper to cover up and hide the dirt and rottenness of it's own party and make it's political leaders appear as white as snow when they are black as night, It was brought into exlstance for that very purpose, and only lives by the wages paid for such work. But the farmer is the great conserv- ative element that holds our politi- cal fabric together, and ought to be capable of better things. No farmer should think himself capable of vo- ting iatelligently until he has read and studied well both sides of the question. We get nothing but blind prejudice by reading only the pa pers that advocate the party to which we belong. The man who unques- tionably sticks to his party, because it has the name, is dangerous man in free county, and disgrace to the human race. The whitening blight O. party prejudice has already once deluged our land with blood and filled our country with fraud, oppression and wrong, and 1t is the business of the B. of F. to right those wrongs and purify our high places The objects and aims Of the order are far above political leaders and party politics. The principle of par ty success right or wrong advocated by politicians and political papers are no moro to be compared with those of the B. of F. than is the tail of a lightning bug to the monday sun. We want men to represent us both in congress and the legislature that will run as B. of F. and not as democrats or republicans, for If we send party men they will be bound

by the party caucus, and Will vote at the wink of party leaders. We want relief from oppressive Legislation and taxation. We want it now. We want the smoke house assessment removed, corporate capital made to pay it's equal share of taxes, our rail roads regulated. We want the farm Iegislated for and protected instead of the capitalist, and we want to send men to represent us that cannot only vote right, but frame bills and work them through for this purpose. The framers of our present revenue law doubtless knew that the only class of men effected would be farm CTS; for they lay up their years sup plies while the other classes buy theirs in the market places as need ed. We arc not working for the success of any political party or set of party leaders, bus for relief from oppression and wrong, and for the preservation of our liberties. "United we stand, divided we fall" If we divide politically, the enemy has us sure.
 think 1t would be good rule to adopt, that we will not support a man for office who voluntarily an- nounces himself as a candidate, but let us after ample time and mature deliberation determine who are the men we want, and then it is the duty of the men selected, to go to work to accomplish the desires of their broth CTS. The men who seek office and thrust themselves on us, are not gen. orally the safest men we can elect.
 Don't be in hurry brother, we have all summer. and can have am pie tune to determine these matters after crops are laid by, when we will have more time to think and talk of them and consult each other. Our lodge at our last meeting elected your humble servant, corresponding secretary, and I would be glad to have communications from other lodges or members of lodges. It is the duty of corresponding secreta- " to receive and read to the lodge, all written communications; answer them as the lodge may dictate; write all communications from the lodge to other lodges or individuals, and submit them to the lodge for ap proval before sending. Would it not be we'll for each lodge to have such man, and let us become familiar with the views of the different lodges that we may be able to act as unlt on important matters?

a chance, eitner to deposit his ballot noiselessly and be counted one, or to deposit it with all the noise of bed lam and still be counted one rather than half a dozen. Evils are atten- dant upon it, but they will remedy themselves as the years go on. Com pared with the old method they are a minimum, and no man cares to swop the frying pan for the fire. Let each party choose it's men by the voice of all the people: let the judges stand by the record, and per- mt no man to vote in the primary that is not identified with the party that called the primary into exis- tcuce; let it be known that accessions to the ranks must come at general elections. and not at the primaries, and nearly all of the evil rolls away. As lover of liberty, I stand by the people, and clam for them tho right to vote by ballot all day long for the men they desire to be their nomi nees. 1 ask them to stand for this right, and to exercise it at every pri- mary. Vote for the man of your choice, without interference and without dictation. Come out of the swaddling cloths of protection, and claim your rights of representation Democrats claim to be party for the people, and they cannot afford to subject their acts to the criticism of a sham plea. The widest represen- tation is the best and only one that can stand among free people. X.

 Hurah for the DEMOCRAT and it's corps of penci! pushers. :. There are some complaint about poor stands of corn -cutworms are doing considerable damage-very little cotton planted-a good prospect for fruit and berries. Everybody is aware that it rained the first day of May. Mr. Wm. T. Rye, of Sebas- tain county, has been visiting rela- lives Tn these parts for the past few days. It appears that some of the B. of F. are not satisfied with the ac- tion of the County Council. in regard to putting out ticket. think that if the institution is turned into q political party, it win prove a failure, both in politics, and the purpose for which it was organized. have heard some give their reasons for wanting new party. They say that the democrat party has become so corrupt, that there are so much wire working and trlckery at con ventlons and primary elections, that the voice of the people cannot be heard. I am very we'll aware that our party needs reform, but cannot see the remedy in new party, 1t would soon be afflicted with the same evils. We should remember that the democrat party is great nation al party, that it's platform is as good as the best, that the party IS not corrupt, but it is some of the polite ians that are in the party. The best remedy can think of, is for every democratic voter to turn ont at all political meetings and see that tho evils complaaed of are not prac ticed. k spectfully yours,

 Let Have a Primary Election. Correspondence of the Democrat.
 The time for choosing the nomi- nees for the party is at hand. It ab- pears that the method of choice IS still debated question. Shall the choice of the party be denoted by q primary election or by delegate convention? The rational answer is now, and ever will be, that Demo cratic community must use that method of choice which registers the wishes of the greatest number of people belonging to the party. The delegate convention is remnant of protective government: it is what is left of the old aristocratic element dominating in public affairs: it as sumes that the mass cannot choose intelligently, but that they can intel ligently choose few who can make this choice; it assumes that what the mass cannot do directly it can very properly do indirectly; It distrusts the people; 1t casts a doubt upon them, and seeks in every possible way to fasten that doubt; it is not American; itIs not democratic; it has been weighed by sound experi- cncc, tested by the fairest trial, and the invariable conclusion has been defective"
 Whenever 1t IS possible for the mass to speak directly, itls right for them to do so. Delegate conven- tions can be defended upon no ground save that, in certain cases, the gathering of the mass IS not practicable. The only other ground upon which they can stand is their age, and this is standard qualifica- tion with all those who endorse noth- ing unless it is old, and opposed to everything that is new. Political liberty, emerging from the thraidom of kings and aristocratic govern ment, necessarily brought with it many of the old forms and habits. The protection of the people by the arlstocratic wise ones, or the aristo- cratic rich ones, or the aristocratic wire workers, or the aristocTatic ringmasters was one of the old things that came down from divine king ship to free manhood. So long as the aristocratic wisdom or wealth had control of the protective conven- tions not much harm was done to the people, save y the tacit admission that these were dolng for the people what they could not do for them selves. But when the sceptre depart ed from these hands into dominating hands of the cunning aristocrats, the wire pnllers and ringmasters, then was the masks torn from the hideous defofmity and Il free people allowed to see that they were Punch and Judy in the hands of a hidden. though none less apparent, tyranny. Fraud and chicane, unblusling ar rogance and wicked manipulation, went on in open view until, awaken ed from their lcthargv, the people took on the power as well as the semblance of liberty, and primary elections were established.
 This was peaceful revolution, but equally as effective as any thereto fore recorded. however bloody. The primary election within the party is right secured to every partisan, and, within party lines is as sacred as suffrage itself. It gives the si- lent vote an equal choice with the brazen -lunged, it counts noses, and does not register noises; 1t numbers strength, rather than hiding weak ness; in a word. it gives every man
