CoRsIcANA, Tex, August 27, 1889. -Corsicana boasts today of two of the happlest men in Texas, in the persons of Messrs. John W. O'Neal and o. F. Wimberly, the lucky men who drew s15, ,000 each in the Louis iana State Lottery drawing of the 18th instant. Each gentleman paid $l for the one-twentisth of ticket No. S7,S35, which drew the capital prize of $300,000. There was great excitement here when the News her aided the fact that $30,0 ,0O0 had been drawn in this city. Your cores pendent first sought Mir. O'Neal at his restaurant and asked to see the ticket. Uncle John," as he is fs. miliarly called, was slow to realize hls luck, but after depositing hls ticket with the First National Bank for collection and getting a receipt for the same he said he began to "feel like a bloated bond. holder"
 MT. o. P. Wlmberly, who kept a small butcher shop, here, offered to dispose of hls ticket for "two- bits" when he heard that 0 Neal had drawn the capital prize, but no one would buy it. Imagine his surprlse when he found that he also held the lucky number. He also deposited his tick ct with the First National Bank for collection.
 The tickets were promptly forward ed to New Orleans, the $30,000 col lected and placed to the credit of the happy men, less the usual rate of ex. change.
 Wimberly says he will take a pleas ure trip soon and when he returns home will invest 8 portion of his money. MT. O'Neal says he shall buy a small farm near Corsicans and get his nephew to work and manage it, and spend his remaining days in peace and quietude. e.-Galveston( Tex News, Aug. 30.

Ar least two of our esteemed CO., temporarles are dead wrong on the position of the Pope county delega, ton in the late 1455 convention. The editor of the Clarksville Herald Journal bobs up serenely with this observation:
 "It is not polite to instruct for even home candidate first, last and all the time The democratic party of Pope county is too broad to be bound in such narrow scope"
 Then to be consistent (2) he says:
 "Our delegates to the district con- yention held on with an unrelsxing grip and brought home the persim mon. Good boys, come up and be patted on the back"
 In the first place our county did NOT instruct first, last and all the time" for her home candidate. And granting that it is wrong to so in- struct and bind in such 8 narrow scope, by what rule Of reasoning does Bro. Ludwig arrive at the con- clusion that the democracy of Pope would have been any the less broad had 1t held on with unrelaxing grip, than the democracy of Johnson after dolng the same thing. But in the one case it is highly censurable, and in the other very commendable, ac- cordlng to the H.J. There Is lack of consistency here somewhere, Bro. Ludwig, as you will find if you "have time to figure it out"

THE idea of Jeff Davis being a traitor! Why, it is perfectly ridicu. lous. But in the last number of the RussellviIle DEMOCRAT MT. Davis publishes card, accompanied by 8 sta tement from the Johnson county delegation in the late 1445 conven- tion, that there is not a word of truth in it. The slanderous rumor was that Mir. Davis, one of the Pope delegates, had said to the Johnson delegates that if Johnson would stick Pope would come to her and nomi- nate Cravens. Jeff Davis is no trai- tor.-For' Smith Times.

 The boil. worm has about quit the cotton, and the damage done Is va- riously estimated at from ne-fourth to one-half the crop. Some fields are scarcely damaged one-fourth, while others may be damaged little over half. We can tell more about the damage done after the crop is gathered.
 The new c. P. church house at New Hope (slze 26x48 feet) is to be erected soon. Much of the material is on the ground. Quite a number of the citizens of Dover, Russellville and different parts of the country have contributed to this enterprise, for which they have our sincere thanks.
 Mir. T. K. Bonds has been stepping around quite high today, and says he can throw down any man in these "dlggin's." This being something very unusual, upon inquiry it was found that the advent of two little folks at his home-s young lady and gentleman--was the cause of the proceeding. J. c. B.

The Credit System.
DOVER TOWNSHIP, Sept. 10

DOVER TOWNSHIP, Sept. 10. Editor DEMOCRAT:
 In former communication stat ed that the credit system, as carried on in this country, was detrimental to our prosperity.
 Why? Because, 1t Is unsafe, un- fair, it begets idleness and careless ness. It is unsafe, because men promise something that they have not got, neither do they know that they will have it at the time agreed upon, for we are liable to failures in almost every undertaking.
 Thus debts accumulate from year to year, and, in many cases, hope lessly involve the debtor. The cred itor waits and hopes that prosperity will smile upon his debtor, but final ly has to lose part or all. for he sees that failures and drawbacks in some shape or other, come every year.
 It is unfair, because much higher prices are charged than would be if the creditor was sure of collecting all.
 And agaln, under the present crop mortgage system, the merchant--to protect himself--takes mortgage upon something he expects his GUS toners to be in possession of Tn the future, and should their hopes be re- alized, 1t generally takes about all to pay of the mortgage. So, in many cases the doctors bill, blacksmith's bill and other contracts are left out.
 It is the cause of extravagance. Many things are bought on time that would not be if cash had to be paid down, hence, accounts sum up and soon become larger than was an ticipatsd.
 It causes ldleness in some for if they could not buy on "tick" they would rustic around to get means to buy the necessaries of life, in place of waiting for something to turn up.
 Now comes the last proposition. How often is it the case, that people become careless, after getting goods on time, about making arrangements to pay for them.
 The credit system, if kept in the proper channel, would be blessing, for we are all dependent creatures; but It is the reckless way Tn which it is conducted, is what is condemn ed. J. c. BONDS.

 THE United States senatorial com mlttee has finished it's labors in the western cities taking testimony in reference to the reduced prices tor cattle, which it is alleged, have been effected by 8 combination of the leading beef packers and dealers. The com mittee has prety conclusively es- tablished the fact that the cattle producers are at the mercy of these lordly buyers, As is already known, when in Chicago, two members of the combination refused to obey the subpenas of the committee and treated them with the utmost con tempt. When great monopolists thus set at defiance 8 body of as much dignity as committee of the United States senate, the time has arrived when there is reason for the people to ask themselves whether the insolence of trusts and corporate power does not deserve legislative rebuke and restraint. The acces- sion of the republican party to power has greatly imboldened these mon- archs of wealth and it IS high time they were taught that the congress of the United States and the people represented by it have some rights they are bound to respect.

If there are times in life that try mems souls, there are also times that try wo- mans souls. As woman s organization in general is more delicate than mans so she has special functions of far more delicate character, which render her much more skillful and careful treat ment.
