Hon. Sam G. Buckner, Chairman
and Chas, M. Meacham, Secretary,
County Democratic Committee:
have received official notification
of the action of the Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee of Christian coun.
ty, selecting me as a candidate TO con.
test for seat in the legislature of the
state.
beg to assure you of my appreci-
alton of the unsought expression OF
confidence and esteem implied in
your tender of a nomination, but
regret that l can not accept.
1 do not believe that any one should
decline an honor rendered with such
unanimity as this has been to me,
except in cases of extreme necessity,
and apprehend it to be the duty of
all men to dedicate part Of their
time and service 10 the public needs
oftheir people. This would be will
ing to do, but at the present time /
am SO situated that an acceptance OF
this distinguished honor would sub
jsct me to extreme personal embar-
easements and necessitate upon my
part an extraordinary and unreason-
able sacrifice of my private business
interests. / must therefore decline
to become candidate.

Sullivan, tho pugulistic and Kilrain from

Were the thomo OF conversation, as was never

Juet as II two mighty nations had been staked
on the result,
rhoui Htho morals Of good people had received
agross insult.
While tho train was still in motion, men, with
nickols ready stood,
Yelling for the morning daily, just as II the
news were good,
In their eagerness, they olbowed others rough
ly through the crowd,
Calling, just rs II demented, calling for the
papers loudl
Elements OF moral manhood seem to fall into
the rear
And the baser passions triumph-or II SEEMS
to thus appear
Brutal instincts rule the masses, eager for tho
first report,
For their theme OF conversation was about
the inhuman sport.
Every hoodlum in the nation joins in praises Of
the roughs,
Who, for money, bruise each othor,1for ap-
plause from all tho toughs,
While tho better class of people shrink with
horror at the sight,
And are mortified to sadness, at the interest in

And with righteous indignation, II they every

Soon, by one united effort might they put such

by those who have recognizedits Importance.
1t is ono of the most practical institutions In
the governmental system. Briefly told, its
duties are as follows:
II collects and diffuses useful information
on subjects connected with agriculture It
collects new and valuable seeds and plants,
and learns by actual cultivation such OF them
as may require such tests. It distributes
valuable seeds among agriculturists. It col
lects reliable information as to the condition,
prospects and results Of the cereal, cotton and
other crops by the instrumentality Of four
correspondents In each county of several
states. This information Is gathered at stated
periods of each month, carefully studied, es-
timated, tabulated and published. It obtains
information with regard to insects injurious
to vegetation, and points out their modes Of
infection and tbemeans by which their depre-
dations may be avoided. It receives boz
tanical contributions, and after making de-
sirable selections for the National herbarium,
distributes the duplicate plants among foreign
and domestic scientific societies, and answers
inquiries of neutrality-suspicious. character
