The Convention.

The Republicans, of Woodruff county, met at Wherry's hall in McCrory last Saturday to trans
 act such business as they saw fit.
 The news man started up to see the showcus. The first mat ter of interest as we started up the stairs was an old darkey by the name of Bob Anthony coming down the stairway in a hurry bear-headed, holding his head.
 I said old man what's the mat ter? He said Good c Id man femme out O har. Later we found that two mem bers of said convention had gotten intoa dis pute. One of the disputants, Frank Kennedy by name of Cot ton Plant, picked up a chair with which to emphasize his position and struck at George Johnson, the other disputant of Augusta. Old man Bob caught the chair on his head. This brought the old man to the floor and everyone thought II. T. Raney would have  a job as undertaken as well as mayor. This old man had no sooner recovered from the force fpl eloquence of republican ora tory, than he fled from the arena

SPRING AILMENTS.

There is an aching and tired feeling; the liver, bowels and kid neys become sluggish and inac- tive the digestion impaired with little or no appetite, no ambition for anything, and a feeling that the whole body and mind needs toning up. The trouble is, that during winter, there has been an accumulation of waste matter in the system. Heroine will remove it, secnre to the secretions a right exit, and by it's tonic effect, fully restore the wasted tissues and give strength in place of weak ness. soc at Dr. J. B. Neal.

as before described.
 After this catastrophe a motion was made for the chair to appoint a committee on credentials. Then l the convention adjourned for one l hour.
 At two o'clock p. m., chairman pr. Bradford, stalward republi- can of Cotton Plant, called the meeting to order. The commit ] tee on credentials being ready to report, submitted same for the consideration of the convention. Then it was that George Johnson the most outspoken hero of them all, arose and for one ho1r made the white republicans look like a worn out thirt-centy- piece at an inquest to see how it all happen ed. He showed how Cotton Plant Was manipulating the con vention by giving each township just so many or so few number of delegates in that convention as to suit it's purposes. Johnson asked who is the republican party? Look around and see for yourself Nearly all negroes. Only four or five white men and they are allhere too. The white men are republicans for pie; the negroes are republicans from principles. By the eternal Gods, am going to tell you all the whole truth. Hear me? I'm against the report of the committee on credentials, because it does not treat us fair. At the conclusion, Johnson said, if you don't t do us right, 1 Il see every negro in the county between this and the general election and I'll tell them all your dirt. " He praised Mir. Blackmon of Augusta and pictur- ed him as model for mankind to follow, but the others he could not recommend under any cir cumStauces.
 Pope of Augusta made a splen- did appeal. but ali in vain, the darkies, in spite of the speeches of Johnson and Pope, voted with the Cotton Plant czars. Just think Of four ruling a convention of sixty odd. The immortal Gods of republicanism hide their faces in shame to see such bossism. But such is denominated pure re- publicanism. We wouldn't like to see any dirty republicanism for fear of not coming out as well as the old man that so uncerimo- niously took his departure from the convention.
 The following committees were appointed: For campaign pur- poses: Dr. J. B. Neal, Ava Brene- nam and T. s. Humphrey For state convention: J. B. Neal, F. H. Kennedy, E. E. Biackmon and Sam Fowler.
 The delegates to the state con vention were instructed to vote for Harry Miers to be the repub- lican standard bearer against
