ought to draw the line between those
who favor and those who do not favor
negro equality. Now | do not wish
to make war upon the church, or to
influence anybody to leave it as |
have done, but simply to state the
truth as 1t is, and that may stand
before the people in the proper light,
and to satisfy every doubtful mind
that those who continue to adhere to
the NJ. f. church must of course, en-
dorse, If not actively they do tacitly,
social equality in all its forms. |

If a man don't believe it has been
raining in this part of Texas for
three straight months you may put
iii down that he never heard of No
abs dcluge, or anything about what
it takes to make a life saving swim

Texas black mud. and if he is an
American son full Of useful lnforma-
tion, we would ask HIM which is
more detrimental TO the human
blood, bad whisky or Il Texas giant
mosquito, and what is sure rem
cdy for chigger bite?
Owing to so much rain the crop
prospect in this county is not SO fiat
tering as we would wish to have it.
Corn did not get its usual plowing
at the proper time, consequently
there viii not be over half crop in
this county. cotton has been planted
over as many as three times which
is up and growing off rapidly, wheat
and oats is now being harvested and
are turning out satisfactorily.
There was an election held IN this
district on the 18th inst, to vote for
and against local option. The dis

CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense Of weight in the back, loins and
lower part Of the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he had some affec-
tion Of the Kidneys or ncighboring or
gans. At times, symptoms of indiges-
tion are present, as flatulency, uneasi-
ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture.
like perspiration, producing very
disagrecablc itching, after getting
warm, is very common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield
at once to the application of DR. Bo-
sanko's Pile Remedy, which acts direct
ly upon the part affected, absorbing the
Tumors, allaying the intense itching,
and effecting permanent cure. Price,

Drs. Kirkscey & Rur's Reply


Correspondence OF the Democrat
With much regret as well as great
surprise in your last issue we learn
eel who Enquirer" was. And must
say that Dir. w. II. Hill was the last
man we would have expected to com
plain at an allowance for medical
service. He demands OF US to tell
what we gave our patient. We told
him in our first article, and we think
there would be as much propriety in
demanding Of the jailor a detailed
account of the vituals he gave the
prisoner to eat, as the Doctors the
kind of medicine they give him.
The law provides for both. And
would it not'be as cruel and fiend-
like to have let the prisoner died for
the want of medicine as for the want
Of food, the torture would have been
about the same.
Now let US suppose that the SEN
ior member OF the firm did say TO the
court what he is charged with say
ing What wouldn't amount to2 Who
ever heard or read Of q court decid-
ing as to what kind OF medicine
Doctors should give to prisoners or
patients? Let US suppose again that
the court rendered, and that we are
trying to shield him for not render
ing the decision. In this case it is
clearly proven that Drs. Kirkscey d
Ruff was summoned by a legal officer
to see the prisoner, and that they
gave him such treatment as they
thought best, and have sworn TO the
same, and approved by the proper
officer, the law in this case has been
complied with in every point, but
they did not give such medicine as
the court thought best, therefore dis
allowed. Now is there in the county,
man or woman, much less doctor
of medicine that would not say that
such a decision was an insult tocom
mon intelligence and disgrace to
the court. If there is anything cul-
pable IN the account or allowance
we failed to see that it could rest on
any one except Tile jail physicians,
hence our first article which was
solely for the vindication of our
selves to show the base fabrication
about $35 for whisky.
Is it necessary to say anything
about the "back up s'strange con
struction" "punctillious" "screen a
friend" Fictitious signature" "dirt"
slime" ETC., coming from doctor
OF medicine, who after this admitted
that we had the right to prescribe
whisky or brandy if necessary.
then to express a Willingness to
slaughter a judicial officer who knew
nothing of pathology or medicine,
because that officer would not con
demn the "pres. and med" Of two
physicians Of years experience in
the practice Of medicine, with diplo.
mas from reputable Medical Colleges.
We close regretting that our per-
sonal and professional friend took
so unwise view of this case.

THE ANTHRACITE COAL TRADE.

The anthracite coal companies have agreed to a
suspension of mining during the week beginning
September 30 and ending October 4. There has
been meeting of the presidents of the companies
for a long time. Neither Franklin b. Gowcn, for
merry president of the Philadelphia and Reading,
nor George Deb Keim the present president, was
In the city on Monday. Neither could have used
the language attributed to him in published re-
port, for neither one present at the meeting of
which a full account was printed.
The relations of the coal companies are not
strictly harmonious. 1t has been known for long
time that coal was being sold at a
large concession from the circular prices.
1t has been known also that the demand
that lower figures would he made III short time.
The production has not been rs large that of last
year but the restriction has been for much larger
number of days. Some of the companies are re-
ported to be opposed on this account to any further
suspension of mining. At the same time every COM
panv i'll turn has been charged with selling coal
at material reductions from the regular price
Everyone has denied the impeachment, of course,
and has had a good reason for tho lower prices
which il has made. In regard to the cutting in
price by the Lackawanna Company, the president of
one of the other leading companies said yesterday:
do not believe the common rumOrs. / can see
substantial reasons why the Lackawanna should
not reduce prices. No, / am not referring to the
