THIS is a fact beyond dispute. O

THIS is fact beyond dispute. One which no man will have the hardi. hood to deny. There has not been q nomination made in the democratic party in this county in the last dozen years, but what nine-tenths of the men participating in it were farm
 CTS. Nine tcnths,yea nineteen twen- tieths, of the democratic party Tn Pope county are farmers. What be- comes then of the cheap demagog- uery of the men who through sinis. ter motives are forever carping about respecting the rights Of bus
 bandmen etc., just as.if man in his own house would trample on his own privileges and rights. This farce of the men who have no other object in view but to break up the democratic party and get into power themselves is too thin to deceive any body. The devil in the garb of an angel is known to be the devil all the same.

THE contest Tn the 4th congress- ional district has got to be very ex- citing. Judge Rodgers has carried Sebastian, Crawford, Franklin and Yell, 22 votes in all. It takes 28 votes to nominate. He is expected to carry Logan and Scott. If he does, it will give him 30 votes, and nominate him with 3 to spare, even if he has lost Johnson, as we suppose he has. When Byers saw how things were going in his county he withdrew in the morning of the day the prima- ry occurred, When McKennon saw how it was going in his county be followed suit. Sad sequel to such bright hopes, but such is life.

IT is now understood there will be no regular set canvass, not of the caravan style In the democratic par ty in this county this year, for the very good reason that there is no earthly u5e of it, and never was. Candidates will be left to conduct their individual canvasses in their own way and to suit themselves, ex- cept for representatives. They of course will be expected to speak at a few places in the county in order that the people may learn their views on current questions. They have been invited to appear before the democratic club in Illinois township tomorrow nlght in the discussion of their claims upon the party for It's endorsement as candidate for rep resentative Tn the next legislature By this arrangement all the energies Of canvass will be preserved until it shall be needfnl for them to be turned loose upon such foes as may attempt to get ia the way of demo cratic success.

LEMON ELIXIR. From North Georgia.

Mrs. N. A. McEntire writes from Spring Place: For many years 1 have been a great sufferer from indi- gestion, sick headaches and nery- ous prostration caused from bilious ness and constipation. I tried many remedies, but got no permanent re- lief until I used Dr. Mozley's Lemon Elixir. 1 am now in better health than for many years. My daughter has been subject to chills and fever from her infancy. I could get noth- ing to relieve her; the Lemon Elixir has restored her to perfect health.

 NEAR RUssELLviLLE, June 21.-I notice in the DEMOCRAT of last week that Mir. Berg denies some things l said in my article. According to what he said there was only one out of four who voted mil. tax who paid real estate tax. There were several others who heard MT. Berg say in his vexed whim that he would have the voters to vote no tax next year. He said last year being we had some expense that we could by this year have as much school with 2 mills as then with 5 mills, here l refer to Nathaniel McEver and w. D. Lucey. Here is some of the ex- pense: Ceiling school house $37; stone sl4.50; sinking and curbing well $33.50. this amounts to $S5, be- sides other small expenses. Right here it is reasonable to believe that 2 mills without that expense would be equal to 5 mills with such ex- pense, and if Mir. Berg has forgotten what he said in his whim of voting no tax next year, l refer to w. D. Lucey, Willis Shinn, H. Brown and others. He says he never sad any thing about poor people Tn dist. II, well thought he included dist. No. II with all other districts. District No. Il has moral, industrious people, only one or two but what can read and write, colored, as well as white, among whom would be some capable teachers. 1 have acquaintance with the good citizens over large portion and garden spot of Pope county, who speak favorable of the people of dist. No. II, myrelf with the rest, who they have known for two years. As for telling not so's, or be accused of such, nc good nor al industrious citizen will attempt of me. Right hero let me say, no per. son in this district sends to school more regular than I do and I consid CT when l pay money for school or church purposes as bread cast upon the waters to return after many days. l guess Mir. Berg might read his letter again himself and see whether he was right about voting the tax down or reducing 1t to 2a mills.

1t is fitting in such cases that the
Senate should have all information
they desire regarding the man whose
nomination they are asked to confirm
