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. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known 10
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls 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 il fails to cure. Send for
list of testimonials. Address,

TWO FOUND GUILTY.
MeSsrs. Charles G. Reid and
james Lucas Charged With
Interfering With Efec-
ton Affairs.

Little Rock Gazette: The case
against Chas. Z. Reid, James Luca:
and John o. .Blakeny occupied the
court all day. The evidence adduceG
was about as follows:
On the day of election at Plum.
meryille, Howard Township, in Con
way county, two darkies named Arm.
lstead and Hays and a white gentle.
man named Thos. c. Hervey, who
had been appointed by the County
Court as Election JUICES, were at
the polls in due time. Some ques
ton was raised as to Hervey's au.
thority to serve by Republican Su,
perylsor named Wahl, because the
County Judge had appointed him IN
vacation in Wahps place. A vote
was put to the bystanders and Her
vey was elected.
Hervey then raised the question oil
the two colored judges authority on
the ground that they had not quail
fed at the September election and
hot hCHNO iooe ehCAi pooieiou as JuuS
es. Another vote was put and two
white Democrats were elected in the
darkies' stead. The polls were then
opened and the three white judges
sworn in.
The two negroes, Armistead and
Hays, thought they had been wrong
fully ousted and went down the
street to a barber shop and prepared
to open separate polling place. The
defendants, Reid, Lucas and Blake
ny, who were Deputy Sheritts, went
down and told the darkles that it
would be unlawful for them to open
separate polling place, and told
them to disperse, which they did.
The evidence for the prosecution
was that rough language was used
toward them, that the ballot- box
which they had prepared was wrest-
ed from them, that the defendants
all wore pistols and in an abusive
manner ordered them to desist from
their attempts to open polling
place, or they would be put in the
calaboose. Nearly all of the wit
nesses for the Government were
darkies.

VERDICT:


1--WE, the jury, find the defendants,
Charles &. Reid and James Lucas,
guilty; but find the defendant, John
o. Bakery not guilty"
The verdict was rather surprise
to nearly all onlookers, and it was
generally thought that Mr.. Reid
would be also declared not guilty,
and possibly none Of the defendants
1t was a very affecting scene in the
court room when the verdict was
read. Mr.. Reid's mother, who had
sat in the room all day, together
with number of his special lady
friends, bowed her head In grief,
and many eyes were filled with
tears.
Charles c. Reid is one Of the most
popular and prominent young men
of Morrilton, in fact, the admiration
and pride of every one in the city,
holding a place of warmest regard in
the hearts of thousands. He is a
courteous, chiyalrous, kindly whole
souled gentleman, OF the very best
family and social connection. He is
lawyer of increasing prominence
and acknowledged Brightness grad

falling On him is, indeed, a severe
one.
