Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
famous for it's cures of bad colds. 1t
opens the secretions, relieves the
lungs aud aids nature in restoring
the system to healthy condition. If
freely used as soon as the cold has
been contracted, and before it has
become settled in the system, it
greatly lessons the severity of the
attack and has often cured in single
day what would have been a severe
cold. For sale by W. NJ. Abney,

Rocky Mount, La, Dec. %, 1895.
Editor Banner: The editor of the
Guardian-Journal in his issue of the
18th inst, attacks the Senatorial Ex-
ecutive Committee in a rather un-
seemly and Incorporate manner. In
justice to the other gentlemen on the
Committee as we'll as to myself, I
deem it my duty to make a statement
of the facts in the case.
Having learned that Mr.. J. C. Brice,
of Bienville-who was elected Chair
man of the Committee at the time of
organization-had moved from the
District, and thinking that each of
the other members was waiting for
some one to take the initiative in
calling the Committee together, I
took it upon myself to do so. My
reason for not publishing the call in
the papers of the District was simply
| that, in this parish we expected to
elect delegates to the Senatorial Con-
vention at the primary to be held
early in January, and if the delay
necessary to published call had
taken place, there would not have
been time sufficient between the pub.
LEGATION OF the proceedings of the
Committee and the primary election,
for the proper selection of delegates
to the Convention. Iwrote each mem
Der of the Committee suggesting the
10th inst. as the day for the meeting,
stating nay reason for making the call
by letter instead of by the usual
method of publication, and requested
each member to reply to my letter
promptly, that I mi ght know whether
to go to Minden on that day myself.
Mr.. McLendon, of Claiborne, was the
only gentleman from whom 1 had
reply. In his letter, he approved of
what had done, and assured me that
be would be at the meeting, unless
''providentially hindered. The meet
ing of the Committee was delayed
several hours, waiting for Mr.. McLen-
don. It was called to order at one
O'Clock. Bienville, Webster and Bos-
sier were fully represented. The ed
itor of the Guardian Journal must
either blame the member of the Com
mittee for Claiborne, or hold Provi.
dence responsible for Claiborne's not
being represented. The other mem.
bers of the Committee were disposed
to treat Claiborne with all fairness.
The thought not having occurred to
any of us, as it did to the gentleman
who moulds public opinion for Clai-
borne, that she hight take advantage
of our confidence and give US a
Tensas dose. The editor of the
Guardian Journal says: "and it looks
somewhat like they were disposed to
use the Senatorships as aids to favor
| i}es for judicial positions. As the
"favorites for judicial positions" in
this District had already been honor
ed by its Democracy, fail to see any
connection between the absurd i'm
putation of the editor OF the Guardi-
an Journal and the smallest bit of
common sense. 1t seems to me that
the editors talk is apropos of nothing.
The Chairman of the Senatorial Exec
utive Committee stands ready at all
times to do his share towards promot-
ing the unity and harmony of the
party. In the meantime let US hear
from Claiborne. G. H. IRON.
