IT is stated that the latest radi-
cal gag is to tell the cOlorcd people
that the Democrats are their worst
enemies, and that their rights are
being taken away from them that
they will be put back into slavery
and that very soon they will not
be allowed 10 SIT on juries. The
radicals know themselves that
there is not a word of truth IN
these assertions, yet they would
deceive the colored people. Since
the Democrats have had control of
the federal government the negroes
have been far better treated than
they were under the Republicans,
and there has beon a great deal
less trouble and far better feel
ing between the blacks and whites
than over before since emancipa
ton. There is hardly a reason
able man in the south to-day that
would roinstate slavery bad he the

THERE has already been two or
three political gatherings and owl
meetings held in this county, but
the owl candidates or so-called Re
publican nominees have not mate
rialized to any extent at the meet
ings. The candidates on the Poo
pies ticket would like TO meet
some of the boss owls in the hust-

with them. The old Republican
administration in this county
would make 4 nice theme TO talk
about and show up. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that taxes were then
and are now fully paid the bridges
were nearly all down, the county
was largely in debt and county
scrip was worth only about fifty
cents on the dollar. The conscrva
