BOWIE COUNTY INDEPENDENTS

The citizens party of Bowie
County will meet today at Boston,
Texas, to place a ticket in the field
against the democratic ticket.
This party is composed of populists,
white republicans, sore-.headed
democrats and few disappointed
democrats who have held Office and
who had to be chOked of in order
to give Others a chance at the "pie
counter" The negro as a factor
cannot be counted in politics for he
has been educated to sell his vote
TO any one who may purchase it,
the price ranging from a box of
sardines all the way up to whatever
he can pull the candidates leg
That the methods employed in
Bowie County to get the negro vote
is disreputable and dishonest, needs
no expert witness to decide, for It
is known of all men who go about
the polls aud see the use of money
on the black man.
The Peoples Party, we suppose,
will put out Dr. Elliott for County
Judge, and Charles Moores, for
Sheriff, the balance of the ticket
to be selected from those who have
/ the "office itch" the worst.
The democrats have out good
ticket aud we know the voters well
enough in Bowie, to say that they
will elect the ticket by the usual
twelve hundred majority over the
sore headed ticket that the so-call-
ed citizens ticket may put in the
field.

Lake Solinsky, situated in front
of the Goodman Misfit paIlor was
drained this morning by Marshal
Casey. This lake situated in Broad
street, has long been a source of
mpeb pleasure to the razor backed
hogs, that walowed in its muddy
depths, and has furnished much
amusement to those gentlemen, who
are fond of joking, for more than
once it has been placarded that
"no fishing allowed" and other
equally good hints that the alder
men should have it filled. We learn
the house in front belongs to non
resident and that he has been pos
tailed and written to on divers oc-
casions with view to get him to
put up his share of money in hav-
ing the front of his property inn
proved-also to pay for concrete
walk, but thus far he has proven
obdurate, and the city marshal will
haye it filed today with earth from
scrapings on other parts of the
streets. Let US give thanks that
the hole will be filled and hence
forth we will know it not.

We heard a gentleman remark
this morning that he feared a who'll
sale furloughing of soldiers as the
order has been given, will cause fever
such as they are having in the
army to spread all oyer the country
and cause much sickness and many
deaths. We notice those soldiers
who are here as well as those who
are passing through, not only stick
to their uniforms, but wear their
leggings at all times on and off the
streets, and we are taught by our
learned medicos that disease germs
can be carried in the clothes for
quite a time before attacking a
victim. If we are to have these
soldiers, we should see that their
uniforms are fumlgated thoroughly
and every safe guard thrown around
our people to keep out any infec-
tions they may have conveyed here,
unbeknowing to them, from army
camps. We cannot be too particular
in this respect.

DR., w. H. Elliott did not attend
the citizens convention today at

him, as II is the votes that will give

Mr.. Benjamin Collins of Texar-

gress of his road. 1t will be of in
estimable benefit to the country il

Who Will be our Next President

Politicians are now planning for
the presidential CAMPAIGN of 1900,
but the war has so overshadowed all
other matters that politics is almost
unnoticed. Many people are of the
opinion that the candidates will be
the same as in 1896, but there may
be a dark horse" who will win the
race, Popularity has much to DO
with candidates. This is also true
with medicine The most popular
remedy to day is Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, and it has retained this
for many years, Science never dis
covered the equal OF this medicine
for stomach, liver and kidney dis
eases. Itbuilds up solid flesh tissue,
imparts yigor aud vitality to all
organs, and makes life worth living.

the better. Try it.
