WE hope the fusionist5 will vote an open ballot so there can be no doubt about who they are voting for. There are great number of people who don't believe the white men on the fusion ticket will vote for the negroes, and it is but right that the negro should know
 his friends. There is no possible chance for those on that ticket to be elected while, should they unite on the
 republican ticket it will require every
 white vote in the county to defeat
 them. Look sharp, democrats, the ne-
 groes are being worked by heavy schemers.

VOTE against the white men on the fusion ticket from the fact that they are enemies to good government. Why? Because they would fill the offices which they are not seeking with the ignorant negro.

 Gentlemen-I used your Specific a few years ago with very obstinate and malignant case of scrofula, and effected radical and complete cure. 1t was the case of little colored girl, the daughter of good customer oi mine. The wife had died, and also several other children with scrOfula or consumption. This was the last liv- ing child, and she had the worst case of scrofula l ever saw. She had great many Jumps and holes in different places about her face and neck, so that she looked deformed. He had tried a great many reme lies. and had lost all hope, when insisted upon his trying Swift's Specific. He consented tt last, if would credit him until he could make crop, which did. Before he had used half dozen bottles he re- ported the child well. Ten months after, when left the place. there had been np reappearance of the disease. Three years have passed now, and no return; l believe it permanent cure. l am using :. $. $. on another chronic case of scrofnla, and it Is growing better every day.

 The above circular was sent out Tuesday, and it explains itself in forci- ble language. As to the democracy of Fitz- Nicely, judging from their course in this campaign, and the Cleveland speeches made by the first part of the firm, coupled with the fact that they are working night and day for the election of disaffected democrats, we are satisfied they are not republicans but as it takes time to get into one party from another, these men are not yet what we are pleased to call demo- crats. They have only taken the first step in that direction, and we suppose they will be in two years just as good democrats as the balance of the fusion ticket will be republicans.

former friend of GROVER CLEVELAND.
avows himself for HARRISON. He says:
"Itis the duty of protection Democrats
to administer such a rebuke to CLEyE-
LAND and his present advisers that no
one will ever again try to identify the
Democracy with the doctrine of free
trade. : He denounces the President as
"a humbug because Notwithstanding his
reform pretensions he used all The pow
ers OF his Office to force his renomins-
ton, and atsthe same time had the fede-
raj officials at work in caucuses and
conventions to knock out everybody
who was especially friendly toward
Gov. Hill. Mr.. ROBBINS adds HE
has shown himself to be a hypocrite,
and ne is, besides, the mos. thoroughly
selfish man in public life to day." Mr..

Chairman of County Committee

The rate of duty fixed on sugar by
the Mills bill is 46 percent. This is an
article of daily consumption in every
family. It has become necessity for
the poor as well as the rich. Every
family that pays out $50 a year for
sugar pays 1913 of that amount directly
tosupport the sugar plantations of the
south, according to the regulation de-
mocratic tariff argument. Every $40
paid by the poor laboring man for SUI
gar of the lowest grade, for family use,
is direct tax on him of 81 go to sup
port millionaire Havemeyer. the
great democratic sugar trust king, and
his partners, the sugar planters of Louis
lana. How few families use less than
SO worth of sugar per year? How
many frmilies use from twice to ten
times this amount. Here is where Mills
and Cleveland are protectionists. -Ey.
If it be true that the .'robber tariff
as democratic organs have it, Institutes
trusts and monopolies, why in the world
90 these bowling advocates of Cleve-
lands craftsmanship not apply their
medicine in their own ranks j? None
but inconsiderate and unprincipled po.
liticians can in the face of the Mills bill,
in view of the unnecessary tax on sugar
claim that the northern factories and
industries are transformed into mono
poles by a protective tariff, without re-
cognizing that they are playing bluff
game. Why protect southern industry
and not northern 1t is clearly case
Of the solid south fighting the north,
and the democrats of our districts are
fooled enough to be the dupes of south
