A LIFETIME TROUBLE AVERT.
ED.

TATE SPRINGS, July 4, 1883.
The Swift Specific Co., Atlanta, Ca:
During the spring of 1871, while
working in the field at my home in
Morgan county, Ga, pulled off my
shoes to give my feet rest. Unfor-
tunately, l walked into clump of
poison oak, and in few DAYS nv
feet were in n terrible condition, and
l could not put on shoe because of
the soreness and swelling. L was
treated MS poison oak cases usually
are, and everything was healed up.
About the same time the following
spring, 1872, my feet became sore
again, as at first, and every succeed
ing spring for five years brought
back the same condition of the dis
ease, only each time it became more
distressing, because I began to think
it was life time trouble. Finally l
was induced to try Swift's Specific.
l took six bottles, and to-day am en-
tirely well. My improvement was
gradual from the first, and no evi.
dence OF the disease, remains.

Colored Republicans of the District
Discusk the Delegntes.


Discuss the Delegates.
The meeting called by the Hon, Fred.
Douglass at the Fourth Baptist Church
last night to condemn the disorderly pro-
ceedings of the Republican Convention at
Willard Hall, week or so ago, turned out
TO be case ofthe pot calling tho kettle
black. The church was full of people,
mostly colored men, with few lonesome
looking white men and few colored
women. The disorder seemed To be caused
: primarily by the presence of q lot of-the
henchmen of Colonel Carson and of
Editor Chase, and also of Editor Chase
himself.
Fred. Douglass son Louis called the
meeting to order. Rev. Q. II, Parker was
elected chairman, Rev. j. w. Cromwell
secretary, and Rev. Il. Johnson, G. w.
Lee, Henry Bailey, DR.. A. L. Augusta,
w. H. A. Wormley and Albert Mcintosh
were elected vice-presidents. Mr., Chase
opened the ball by impeaching Mr..

and the noise commenced.
Fred. Douglass, DR.. A. T. Augusta, ].
w. Cromwell, G. S. Morris and T. w.
Chase were appointed a committee on
resolutions, and left to formulate them.
Then the disturbance was resumed with
increased vigor. Some of the participants
were elected, and the committee reported
what would make in THE CRITIC trifle
less than column of resolutions about
the disorder at Willard Hall, the irregu-
larity of the proceedings that resulted in
the nomination of two sets of delegates
and alternates to the Chicago Convention,
and repudiating the Willard Hall Con-
yention entirely.
The resolutions were discussed, an CO.
3 structionist or two hustled out OF the
church. the resolutions adopted, and the
crowd went home.
1t is but fair to state that Mr.. Douglass
and his friends, including many represen-
tatiye colored citizens, were animated in
this matter by most commendable desire
10 obliterate the stigma east upon them
by the late Willard Hall Convention, and
succeeded in carrying their point, in spite
of the factious and disorderly conduct o.
some of those present.
