The Free Trade Plank in the Demo
cratic Platform.

The Watterson and Mills men seem to
Democratic Convention in the final draft
Of the tariff resolution. Germans claimed
success against the Free Traders seems to
have had no foundation whatever. The
endorsement of Free Trade Is full and
complete, and Watterson could well re-
port 1t as accepted unanimously by the
committee. Cleveland's message through
ont was n Free Trade argument, its pur-
ported facts aud entire logic being precise
ly those on which the Free Traders rely
for the support of their economic theories.
This is conclusivly shown by the way the
message was received by the British Free
Trade press, and by the encouragement it
gave the Golden Club ani the foreign inn
porters. The Mills bill is but an outshoot
Of Cleveland's manifesto, so that in en-
dorsing the message the convention en-
dorsed that destructive measure of the
majority of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, and the line of policy approved
by the Free Trade teachers on both sides
of the Atlantic. Ii German, Scott, and
those like them, expect to deceive the
American people by any seeming
indirection of this kind, they
will find themselves greatly mistaken.
They have made British platform at st.
Louis. to all intents and purposes. They
have not even sugar coated the pill. On
the great and vital issue on which the
campaign is to be fought, the Cleveland
ties have plainly shown their hands.
They have raised a foreign flag. They
have made an alliance offensive and de-
fensive with the Free Traders of England,
on the idential lines which the Confeder-
ates and their English allies occupied
twenty seven years ago. Then il was a
contest Of the sword and the iron-clad
Today 1t lie the contest of public opinion
and the ballot. This time as before. the
victory will be on the side of those who
demand that America shall be held for
Americans, that our labor, our enterprise,
our markets shall be protected by Ameri-
can laws, to the end that we may con-
tinue TO be the most free and prosperous
people on the face of the EARTH

Here is what he said the other day in the

the old masters gave Jove when launching his

there bursts from his throat. like a shell from
cannon, these words, which appal the ear
and strike terror to the heart as they below
through the vast and boundless recesses of
this hall Shall the blanket of the poor man

have been ringing in my ears, dancing in my
brain, until in the Wild delirium of a fever

cry. "whiskey. whiskey, open, We stills of

Here and There.

DR.. VIM. +. Hutchinson has the following
sensible advice to ladies in the June number
of the American Magazine
Women seem to think that house
work, the daily toll that reaches from
sun to sun, is sufficient; whereas il is
apart from exercise as labor is from rest,
as this incident will show. And yet to be at
its best our exercise must be so regular and
systematic as to seem almost like toll. For
general rule, there is no form that does
woman so much good as walking. The best
period is IN the forenoon when natural forces
are mounting up and carrying weakness up
on their tide. After the morning bath and
toilette, and time will permit the arrange
ment, an early breakfast of milk and a
biscuit should be taken aud start made.

A Painful Lack of Democratic Enthu

[St. Louis Despatch to Cincinnati Enquirer. ]
Touching the presidential nomination there
is no real interest. One can hear the ex-
preston, ~ don't like Cleveland, but what
else can we do?" 1t is of this class, who do
not like him over well, to whom Thurman
appeared more luminous. His nomination
as the tail of a ticket is quite liable to pro-
woke more hearty demonstration than the
perfunctory performance of choosing the
leader. The painfully apparent feature OF
the situation as it now is is the lack of in
terest in the great convention. This is only

Parlor Suit Department.

No house has ever tried harder to please the pub
lie in this line of business than We have. We have
gathered under the roof at headquarters, and al
at the various branches, the very finest goods that
the market offers. Every new cooring plush that
has ever been brought out pto the present time
can be found in our stock. Every conceivable style
of frame from he painest to the most costly carved
can also be found among the styles. We have en-
deavored to combine artistic taste workmanship and
quality, and at the same give to our customers who
do not care to pay an eNorbitant amount for a par
or suit something that can furnish handsomely and
yet cost very little money. Our Hair Cloth parlor
suits for $35 and upwards Our Plush parlor suits
for $40 and upwards; Our Crushed Plush parlor
suits for $50 and upwards and Silk Plush suits
for $50 and upwards taking into consideration the
different styles of frames and the different colorings
in the combination of each suit, all bargains I'VE
believe that long experience in catering to the
public has taught us what will please. And while
do not advocate the purchase OF low priced goods
yet We do claim that any of our parlor SUITS no mat
ter how low the prize is excellent value for the
money, and to go into parors that not used
monty they will wear for years. Now, good reader,
consider for moment; say, for instance, your par
lor has a lounge, cane seat chairs, and some easy
chairs in itwoud il not be better to take these
articles and put them in the sitting room especially
if the family is growing up and are proud of their
home. and buy from us Plush suit at, say, $50 pay
ing at the time of purchase $40 down, and the bal
ance So per month until paid for. No interest is
added, that is all the suit costs you is $780, $40 you
pay down. and SIS per month As you increase quail
ity in the parlor suit have to ask you to increase
the payments. But this gives to many people an
opportunity to furnish parlor with a carpet, par
Tor suit, window shades lace curtains centre table,
and some rugs at very small expense, and you pay
for it and scarcely feeli, because you have not had
to draw from the savings which have been put by
for IA rainy day.
This system teaches economy and oftentimes your
monthly payment is saved from what might other
not inspect the line personally write for catalogues
and prices.

4 Negro Cut in Two.

Peter Leonard, a negro employee
at Alderman's mill, while riding on
the tram cars, one day last week, and
while the train was in motion, about
three miles from the mill, attempted
to walk on the coupling pole from
one fat to another. These poles are
small and round, about eight feet
long, and four inches in diameter.
He attempted to walk it four times,
the fourth time falling between the
cars, which passed over him, cutting
him in two, severing the lower limbs
entirely from the trunk. His desire
for trying to 60 from one car to an
other was to join party of negroes
playing cards
Coroner Cochran very promptly
held an inquest, the verdict being
carelessness on the negro's part.

Meeting Of Executive Committee.

On last Friday, the County Demo-
cratic Executive Committee met IN
the court house, and canvassed the
votes cast at the second Democratic
Primary Election, held in this county
the Ath of Sept, with the above: given
results. Entire harmony prevailed
until the Sammy Swamp box was
reached, when member Of that
club asked the. executive committee
to have the votes re-counted, as it was
noised around that some dissatisfac-
ton existed among the candidates or
their friends The rotion prevailed
and three members of the body were
named BY the chair to proceed to the
count. After careful examination
into the matter q report was made,
which conceded exactly with the
statement of the managers, except
perhaps one vote had been overlook
ed which was duly transferred to the
credit of those entitled. The next
hitch came up with the calling of the
Bethel club box. Mr.. David Lee, a
citizen of that section, having obtain
ed permission from the committee,
preferred charges of great irregulari-
ties against the manner in which the
election had been held. He warmed
up with his subject and before clos
ing presented some pretty heavy COM
plants against the managers.
While on this subject, and before
leaving the same, it is right and prop
er to mention the fact, that while Mr..
E. G. DuBose, the Sammy Swamp
member of the committee, himself
proposed the recount of this box,
there was no design on bis part that
the act should be construed, as any
insinuation against the fair-dealing OF
the managers. Such an idea he re-
pudiated in emphatic terms; and
claimed that it was for the vindica-
ton of the good name and integrity
of his club, that veri6cation was
demanded; the report having reached
his ears, also, that unfairness had been
allowed.
Thus have passed away the prima-
~ elections of 1888, and We all ought
to feel satisfied, yea grati6ed, that
there has been so little defamation
and "mud-slinging." It was source
of congratulation, and shows that
even the political arena is being
cleansed, by people lifting themselves
above such. 1t never benefits IN the
end; and happy he who makes the
discovery, before the baneful harvest
is reaped: Let all now join bands
for the common good; and in drop

TheSwit Specific Co., Atlanta Ca
During the spring OF 1871, while
working in the field at my home in
Morgan county, Ga, I pulled off my
shoes to give my feet rest. Unfor.
tunateiy, I walked into clunp of
poison oak, and in a few days my
feet we're in a terrible condition, and
I could not pat on a shoe because Of
the soreuess and swelling. I was
treated IS 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, cnly each time became more
distressing, because I began to think
il was q lifetime trouble. Finally I
was induced to Try Swift's specific.
I took six bottles, and to-day am en-
tirely well My Improvement was
