~ The Democrats this fall will mot lack
good men from which to select county
ticket, If we are to Judge from the many
names already spoken of as probable candi-
dates before the coming county convention.
The outlook in the county is good for an in
creased Democratic majority, but it behooves
all good Democrats to be up and doing and
see that none but true and tried friends of
the party are put on guard. This is no time
for traitors or skulkers to come to the
front. 49,

KEPT SILENT THIRTY YEARS.
A Georgia Woman Religiously lleeps
Wow Made to Her Husband.

Augusta ga Spec. to Philadelphia Times.]
The death of Mrs. Susan e. Merri.
field, which occurred here yesterday
revives interest in one of the most pc
culiar case known Off vow of silence
made and kept for thirty years. In
1850 Mrs. Merrifield who 1t Is said,
was a little woman of q peculiarly
bright and CHEEKY disposition, was tell.
ing her husband of some occurrence
when he requested her In surly man.
ner to be silent, adding that the sound
of her voice was hateful to him.
It seems that Mr.. Merrifield, while
a good husband In every other way,
was in the habit of venting his dis.
pleasure when aroused by outside mat.
ters by Ill humor with his wife, whose
good nature usually passed his testiness
by, but on this occasion she replied
that, as it was hateful to him, he
should never her voice again. And be
never did, nor any other person ever
hear it, for, in spite of her husbands
remorse and circumstances from
friends and relatives, Mrs. Merrifield
kept her room, though she continued
to act the part of a good wife and
mother, fulfilling every duty scrupui-
ously. She even bore three children to
her husband after this vow had been
taken. When communication was abb
solutely necessary with those about
her she used q slate, but reduced Ian.
guage of signs to such perfection In
governing her household and children
that 1t was but seldom that this slate
was resorted to.
It was thought that when her hus-
bond died she would resume the use oil
her speech, but while she sat by his dy.
ing bed, devoted and loving to the last,
in answer to his supplications that she
speak but a word to him, wrote on the
slate with ell the evidences of grief: ~
can not, I can not! God forgive and
help me, can not!v But whether II
was that she found it impossible to
break her will and her vow, or that
long disuse had affected her organs so
that she really could not use them,
could not be arrived at; but her family
inclined to the latter belief, for it Ii
said that while on her own deathbed
she made distinct efforts to speak to
her children, dying with the seal Of 81
lence unrem0ved from her lips. III 4

position to the Federal election law passed
