The DELINQUENT List.

On the second page of the DEMOCRAT
will be found reproduced from the col
umns of the Pope County Mail the list
of lands returned delinquent for the
non-payment of taxes for the year lSSS.
We do this for the benefit of our read
ers and without compensation. The
clerk, who has control of this printing,
having seen proper to give 1t to the
Mail and afterwards offer it to us on
ter ms we could not accept, we are fore
ed to publish it gratuitous or allow our
readers to be deprived of the informa-
ton which it contains and which is of
vital importance to taxpayers, the
more especially since the law, under a
decision of the supreme court, stipu-
lates that owners of real estate must
protest against any Illegal tax sale, at
the sale or before it is made. else they
lose their land. The evident unfair
ness of this decision does not in the
least impair its force or lessen the effect
of the law, but renders it all the more
necessary that the widest publicity be
given of the lands to be sold in order
that taxpayers may be protected as far
a. possible in their rights and not in
cur loss through unintentional error.
The law allows the clerk to publish
the delinquent list ''in some newspaper
in the county," The DEMOCRATS claim
to the printing is based on the fact that
it is the oldest paper in the county,
Is published at the county seat, and has
a much larger circulation than the Mail.
We took the position that If we were
entitled to the printing for the reasons
given we should have what the law al
lows for doing the work. Mr.. Hogins
thought differently and asked us to di-
vide with the Mail. We declined to do
so and the list was sent to the Mail.
After its appearance in the Mail we
were offered half the sum the printing
would amount to at the legal rate al
lowed by law and five dollars extra to
publish it in the DEMOCRAT. This Of
fer we refused because we believe the
clerk has no more rightto dictate low
er price than is allowed by law for do
ing legal advertising than we have toask
that he charge less fees than the law
allows for discharging the functions Of
clerk of the county. The one request
is no more reasonable than the other
since the law fixes the price in both
cases. If it had been the desire to have
the work done on an economical OASIS
as a saving to taxpayers then the job
should have been let to the lowest bid
der. In contest of this kind the DEM
ocRAT would have made as low bid as
anybody, or yielded to the victor with
out word AS it is the work was let
out with different purpose in view.
Our readers, however, are supplied
with the list as full and complete as 1t
appears in the Mail and they are in no
wise losers by the clerks action. We
feel sure they will appreciate the serv-
ice and with this we are content.

800 REWARD, 500.

The readers of The DEMOCRAT will
be pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is taken Internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucus surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength, by building up
the constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have
so much faith in its curative powers,
that they offer one hundred dollars for
any case that it fails to cure. Send for
list of testimonials. Address,

The consumption of port wine appears to

71,5l1 pipes in 1887, and G,715 pipes in 1886.

Texas Fleas killing cartridges.


Sportsmen throughout this and neighbor-
ing counties report that partridges are get
ting very scarce and threaten soon to be-
come eXterminated. Some persons say this
decrease is due owing to so many wet sum-
mers of late years, the young birds being
drowned and the nests flooded and eggs
spoiled. We notice however. that several
papers argue that this disappearance of
partridges is owing to the Introduction
into Georgia of the Texan flea, brought
here by the Texan ponies. The insect at
tacks the birds and soon torments them TO
death. 1t is said that entire cOveys are
soon killed out when the Texan flea gets
among them. There is no doubt about one
thing-partridges are getting scarcer every
year.
