7---------------'--7-- --------------~- 4 Variety in Figures.

Last week the papers gave va riety in figuring. as to the result oI the primaries in the different coun- ties Of this, the Third Congress sional district, in the race for the nomination of a candidate to suc- ceed Hon. Jas. K. Jones. We will copy some of them, just to show differently men can count, and what differences ofopinion exists,
 Swift's Flying Needle at Warren, was of the opinion that McRae would enter the convention with more votes than any of the other candidates.
 The Public Opinion A Texar- kama says: ''The counties voting so far, gives Barker q small major ity over McRae.'
 Columbia Banner gave McRae eight counties. others scattering; said it had no definite information
 Lockesburg (Sevier county Chronicle: "McRae will have 23 votes in the convention, Barker 9 and Bearden 6."
 Camden Beacon: up to press hour, primaries returns from this district are still mearer, though from the best information we have the instructions arc about this way Barker r.; McRae 15; Bearden 8; McMillan 3; Smith ? This esti- mate is made from reports sent to the Gazette.'
 The Little Rock Gazette's tig- ures, as said elsewhere, seemed to us biased, leaning toward Barker. Why 1t should try to make false impression favoring Barker we can not conceive, but to us and many others it appears that way. I. is out of the district anyway. As the leading daily of the State it should always give facts as nearly as pos. sible, especially in election news.
 The Little Rock Democrat one of the leading Gailies of the State says in late issue: "The general impression prevails that Hon. T. c. Melsae will be nominated for Con. gress at the Texarkana convention. This will be nomination that will be thoroughly endorsed by the Democracy of the district. ;"

Mental Poison.

l. am coppersmith by trade, and during a series of years my arms (being bare when at work have absorbed wonderful amount of mental poison. Having a scrOfu- lous tendency from my youth, the small particles of copper and brass would get into the sores and by this process the poison was con veyed into my blood till my whole system became infected. I was treated with the old remedies of mercury and iodide potassium. Sal ivatlon followed, my teeth are all loose in my head, my digestive or. gans deranged, and l have been helplessin bed for over year with mercurial rheumatism. My joints were all swollen, and l lost the use of my arms and legs, and be- came helpless as an infant.
 My sufferings became so intense that it was impossible for me to rest. The doctors advised me to go to the city hospital for treat. ment. This I could not bear. A friend, who has proved a friend in deed, urged me to try Swift's Spe. cific. believing it would cure me. Others discouraged me, but I se- cured a few bottles, and have now taken two dozen bottles. The first effect of the medicine was to bring the poison to the surface, and I broke out all over in running sores. They soon disappeared. and my skin cleared off. My knees, which had become twice their natural size have resumed their usual size, and are supple as of yore, My arms and hands are all right again, and can use them without pain. The entire disease has left all parts of of the body save two ulcers on my wrists, which are healing rapidly. l am weak from long confinement, but have the use of of all my limbs. This medicine is bring. ing me out of the greatest trial of my life, and l cannot find words sufficient to express my apprccia- ton 0f it's virtues, and the grati. tude l feel that I heard of it.

The Congressional Convention

The Democratic Convention to nominate candidate for Congress from this district, meets to-day, "Wednesday. at Texarkana. By the ruling of the District Execu- tive Committed, the delegates will vote the number of votes cast in their respective counties for Gov ernor Hughes. All of the coun- ties have held meetings and in structed delegates, and Hon. Thos. c. McRae has larger following than any of the rest. But We will givo tho figures. According to most reliable information, taken mostly from the county papers in the different counties, the vote on first ballot for the two strongest candidates running, will be as fol. lnWS.

Trip to Georgia.

IHe ouiiioi cuiloI oi IHiS pdpeI returned Friday, after a three weeks visit to his parents. at Car rollton, Ga.
 It was our intention to write something while absent, but was so taken up in pure enjoyment and recreation, among our friends, neg. lected to do so,
 The entirp distance travelled over, more than eight hundred miles. seemed to have the smiles of kind Providence-a fine pros pect for an abundant harvest in all crops. The luxuriant, waving corn, and growing cotton, as well as wheat and oats which had already been harvested, and in places was being threshed, was beautiful and interesting sight to us. Such scenes never tire or grow monoto- nous, The beautiful in nature as well as in art, ever touches sena' tive nature, it is said; whether this is true or not, It always af- fects us so. The big prairie, said to be about 100 by 9 miles in ex tent, good portion of which we saw in going from Little Rock to Memphis. was indeed beautiful in 1 it's vcrdure. Much oft is inclosed, and cattle ranches dott the hori- zon.
 At Forest City, VIC stopped for supper, and had the pleasure of meeting Brother Fizer, of the St. Francis County News. He is a genial, clever quill driver, and has fine town to back him. It is the terminus of the M. & L. k. railroad in winter, when the Mississippi overhows the track between there and Memphis, about fifty miles dis tant, boats being used then instead of cars from that point via St. Francis river.
 Much might be written about what was seen enroute, but we will not attempt it, lest this article be strung out too long.
 In Georgia we found little change. Professional men are generally managing to make money as of yore, while the farmers are continuing to retrograde. The land is very much exhausted and washed in most instances, so that i. produces but poorly even when much is spentin guanoins it, unless seasons are propitious. in best years but very little land will pro- duce more than half bale cotton per acre; as a common rule it takes from four to eight acres to produce a bale. It has come to the pass, where it is the exception for far mer to even.Own his farm-most of them being involved in debt. Rais- ing cotton and the mortgage sys- tenn has caused this-thousands have given up their farms tor pro- visions, and still they go on the same way
 We wrote an article for the "Carroll Free Press on "The Vest which gives our ideas of it. We will copy it on our out side next week.
 Our visit to Georgia afforded us much pleasure and greatly reirosh' ed us and we enter upon our du- ties again we trust with new life and energy.

Many of tho weekly pape

Many of the weekly papers last week. in their estimates gave Bar ker more votes than McRae on first ballot to he held. How they arrived at their conclusions we fpow not unless from the Gazette's inaccurate and seemingly bisased figuring for Barker. Hon. T. c. McRae, as the most able man and peoples candidate, will be sure to receive tho nomination, we think. There is no chance for Barker.

Ouachita county instructed for Bearden, with 1882 votes; Clark in. strncted for McMillan, with 1881 votes; Hot Spring for Smith, with l076 votes.
 From the above figures it will be seen Hon T. c. MeRae is the leading candidate. having ll65 more votes than Barker. Every one of the Barker counties gave second instructions for McRae, save Drew, and its delegates favor McRae as second choice we learn. Clark and Hot Spring counties have also second instructions for
The Nevada picayune., 1885-07-23

McRae. One of them would give McRae the nomination, as he only lacks 1858 votes of securing the nomination on instructions al. ready given. It is reasonable to presume they will soon vote for McRae as they have no sort of instructions for Barker.
 In our figuring we have left out Little River county, as there was split and break up in iss county convention. It may not have any l representation at all, and if it does, will divide equally between Nc Rae and Bark CT, it is saiA
 Barker, we think, stands not the ghost of a chance of coming Tn. He has not half so many. instruc- tious for second choice as McRae, besides going into convention be- hind him.
 In case there is long contest in the convention we think McRae will win, because he is the most popular man and nearly all the counties have given second in- structions for him. Again, McRae's friends knowing all these things, will stick the closer to him expect ing that at least enough of t3se receiving second instructions will come to him.
 We await the result with full con- fidence in the ultimate victory of Nevada's favorate son, Hon. T. c. McRae.
 THE LATEST NEWS. We kept our forms open till 3 o'clock p. m. to-day, Wednesday. waiting to get some late informa- tion from the convention. The latest news is that the convention was called to order at II o'clock by Judge Bum, of Camden, Chairman of the District Executive Commit. tee. Hon. w. D. Leeper of Hot Spring county was elected tempo rary chairman of the convention, and Joe Meadows of Hope Sec, with J. R. Thorton of Calhoun county assistant, by the Ex- ecutive Committee. A com. mittee of five, consisting of one to be selected from each of the friends of each of the candi- dates, was appointed on creden tials. After calling roll of coun- ties for credentials for considera- ton of committee, convention ad- juorned till 2:3Op. m., when the or ganization will be permanently eff fected.
 The above is the very latest.- This mornings papers stated that there would likely not be a ballot cast today, and it now looks that way. Judge G P Smoote of this place. is prominently mentioned as the probable permanent Chairman of the convention. There may be many ballots cast ere a choice is made, though parties at Texarkana think otherwise, and that Hon. T. c. McRae will be selected in a few ballots. Let us hope so.

Habitual constipation is not only one of the most unpleasant, but at the same time one of the most in. furious conditions of the human system, and is but a forerunner of disease, unless removed. This is usually accomplished by the use of purgatives, which for the time afford relief, but after their imme- diate effects have passed they leave the system in a worse state than before. To effect a cure it is necessary that the remedy used should be one that is not only be is cathartic effect relieves the Bowels, but at the same time acts as tonic, to restore the organs to a sound, healthy condition.

Each year California brings a
boom for some kind of fruit. The
orange, peach, apricot, plum, cherry
and prune have each had their day.
This season the olive seems to have
taken the lead, at least In the
southern and central portions OF
the State. It is curious to note
that in this regard, that in the Is
land Of Zante, whence come the
dried currants Of commerce, olive
trees are being uprooted to make
room for the vines that produce
the so-called ''currant." In the
rich regions about Nice in Italy,
known as the Maritime Alps, the
cultivation of the oliye is gradually
declining, the production Of flowers
for perfumery being found more
profitable. These facts, however,
should not discourage our olive
growers. It was not long ago that
grape vines were being uprooted IN
California to clear the ground fol
the planting Of grain or fruit
trees.

that she is exerting all IF it to secure

trail Asia by arbitration. The only
sister of the Car is the wife OF the
younger brother of the Prince of
Wales, the Duke of Edinburg, and
so in the Court of each country
there must be potent influence in
favor Of peaceable measures. The
family relations of the most pow
erful sovereigns Of the world are
now so intimate that woman s in

of arbitration for war in the In the
settlement Of all international dis
putcs. Queen Victoria's eldest
daughter is the wife Of the German
Crown Prince, and the wife OF her
son, the Duke Of Connaught, is the
neice of Emperor William. The
combined influence of these mem
bers of the royal families and the
exertion of the influence OF women
throughout the world generally may
be made to hasten the time
when civilized nations will cease to
resort to barbarous war for the set
