N. o. Daily States: Congressman
Lodge who Ia the echo ia the House of
Senator George Fossil Hoar of Massa-
chasetts has at last introduced his bill
to regulate Federal elections iD the
South. The bill is combination of
the Australian ballot system aud FEEDER
al interference, and as surely as it Ia
passed is going to plunge tho South in
to disorder. The most infamous fea-
ture of the bill is the provision that
upon the petition of 500 voters in any
district the government ia to step in
aud take absolute control of the cleo
tion. This is the scheme of the Hepub
licans to control the congressional elec-
tions in the South next November aud
perpetuate their power. It will be an
easy matter for them TO get the reqnis-
lite number of Degroes to put their
mark to petition and then manipulate
the election so as to land. the Rspubli-
can candidate, and as all the machinery
will be in the hands of the government
it will be impossible to 60 behind the
returns. There ia some hope, however,
that the bill will be defeated aa there
are several Republican senators who it
ie understood are opposed to it because
they regard 1t as dangerous measure,
which is likely to lead to other legisla-
tion extending the power of the gov
ernmant over the States.

Messrs Clements & Wilson are sale
agents iu our town for the Improved
stahl Sulky Cultivator, which is claim
ed to be by far the most complete, per-
feet and satisfactory implement of it's
class in the market. The metal parts
being composed of malleable iron,
wrought iron and steel. it combines
lightness with strength, and being con
s'ructed on radically different principles
ftom any other. the manufacturers
claim that it combines the thorough
working qualities of six shovels with
lightness of draft and ease of manage
ment equaled by no other Cultivator for
either cotton or. corn. Any practical
farmer can see at glance tue many
advantages of this cultivator, and as
the price is within the reach of all we
advise an inspection of the machine,
which can be seen at the establishment
of Clements & Wilson, in our town.
AS there are already large number
of these machines in use in this parish,
it is no experiment but has proved
By constant tests it's undoubted claims
