al ambition of one man, however
worthy he may be, shall be permitted
to outweigh the best interests of the
whole people.
May | hope if you have not already
done so that you will duly consider
the reasons stated in this communica-
ton? And that you will not magnify
or increase the difficulties with which
the temperance people of this county
have to contend in their effort to get
rid of curse that is blighting the
hopes and destroying the manhood of
scores and scores of our young and
old men? You may be sure that If you
sacrifice your desires and wishes to
what we believe to be the manifest
good of our people that you will gath
er to yourself honor S, and the good
wishes of the people, far beyond any
thing that would accrue to you from
an election obtained at such cost. 1t
is because of the high character which
your friends and admirers have Civ
en- you that | venture to address this
open letter to you.
Very respectfully,
G. t. HUGHES.

AN OPEN LETTER
TO CAPT, ".

Continued from First Page.

friends could claim that you would be
so competent to handle such matters
as a man who had spent his whole
life here, and whose ability is at least
equal to yours. So that whatever
might be the equitie of the two other
counties, where legislation is contem-
plated peculiarly affecting this coun-
ty, of such great n oment to so large
a population, the dictates of ordinary
judgment and reason would leave the
selection of the man who is to do this
work, to the people most concerned.
You have the reputation of being a
Christian temperance man; are you
willing to imperil the efforts of the
same class of manhood in this county
in their struggle to put the saloon out
of their midst? Are you not assum-
ing a fearful responsibility? Are you
willing to abide the charge of the per-
petuation of the unholy traffic in our
midst, and the tears and orphanage
which must result from its continu-
ance? Perry county and Lewis have
already received the benefit of this
class of legislation; you have no sa-
looms, you are not concerned, except
as mere lovers of humanity in the
struggle we are now engaged in.
You may say that you are a tenn
perance man, and stand on the state
platform; but all of that may be true
and still leave you outside of the is
sues involved. The State platform does
nothing more than hold out to COM
munities, who favor it, the promise of
abolition of the Saloon. You might
endorse this platform and yet as an
individual vote against the measure in
a particular locality.
In this county the leaders of the
party and the Democratic voters have
declared in their platform for the alb
clifton of the Saloon in this county
without further vote on the question
by the people; that is to say it has been
so provided by the platform adopted
in this county that the vote of the
people in favor of the nominees
named. shall be taken as an expression
of the voice of a majority of the peo-
pie of this county that the saloons
tnlist pO II has been stated whether
truthfully or not. that the element here :

upon whom you are relying to support
YOU in your race, have your assurance
that if elected you would favor the
/ resubmission of the question; whether
to the towns alone, or the whole coun
5, ty, | have not heard. You can alone
answer whether these statements as
to your position are correct. If they
are true then it is your purpose to
nullify the expressed wish of large,
/ very large, almost unanimous vote of
! the Democrats of this county. Why
I should there be another reference, or
| vote? Why are the representatives
i chosen by this people, on a platform
of principles specially set forth and
adopted, not as binding as the plat
form upon which the Governor and
other party candidates stand is bind
ing upon them. Would it be
necessary to refer the mat
tiers covered by the State
platform back to TIE people? Do not
; the candidates for Governor and repre-
sentatives consider themselves bound
by their party declarations? The plat
form adopted by the Democratic party
of this district is just as binding upon
all matters affecting the district alone,
as is the State platform.
You may say that you will abide
by this platform; but of what value
will your assertion be, if you run as
an Independent, and repudiate the ac-
ton of the Convention? You are
candidate without Platform, or party
endorsement, and ii elected the sa-
loon element would claim logically
that your election meant the defeat of
the whole action of the Convention.
You are no doubt aware of the fact
that the support which you will get
in this county, whatever it may be, will
very largely come from the saloon, and
the saloon advocates. Indeed, / am in
formed that some of the individuals
are saloon keepers, and others are
known to be in opposition to the aboli- :
ton of the saloons. So that you, sir,
who have hitherto born the reputa-
ton of being a Christian temperance
man, will be driven to the resource
of relying for your chances Of election
upon such an element as this. Even if
you should be elected, which | do not
at all believe to be possible, how
can you satisfy your own CO. science
with the results that must inevitably
flow from such result?
But sir, there is still another objec-
tion to your candidacy that does affect
your character as q man. You went
before this Convention, you recognized
its right and power to name candi-
date. you participated in its proceed
ings, you endorsed It's platform. and I

allowed your name to be presented
with a foreknowledge of what the
result would be; you sat in the body,
heard the man who nominated you
move to make the nomination unani-
nous, which was done; you heard the
man who seconded your nomination
declare that whatever might be the
action of the convention, Perry county
would abide by the result and support
the nominee, and without dissent or
protest on your part you suffered the
Convention to adjourn without any
notice of your purpose to make the
race. | do not say or believe that
even had you announced your purpose
to run the Convention would have
been induced to nominate you. | am
sure it would not. But you owed a
duty to Mr.. GreenlaW who with great
reluctance consented to accept the call
of his party, who did so under the
belief that his candidacy would not be
opposed | do not believe he would
have accepted nomination with
divided party How can you Justify
your conduct with relation to him?
Were you not honorably bound to have
declared to him you. purpose to make
the race, and have given him an OPP
portunity to say whether he would ac.
cept under such conditions, and not
postpone your action until it was too
late for him to decuue with honor to
himself? He is a Maury county man
from his birth, and resident of Co
lumbia for a number of years, law
yer of ability and lucrative practice,
and above all man without spot, or
blemish, fair, impartial, conservative,
unpurchasable, an ideal man for the

HOW DEBILITY
SHOWS
AND WHY DIX WILLIAMS PINK
PILLS ARE A SPECIFIC FOR 1T.

CASE IN WATERFOWL IN WHICH A
PALE, WEAK GIRL WAS MADE STRONG
| AND WELL
1t frequently happens that when
person is indiSpoSed or suffers without
there appearing to be any disease to
which the decline in health can be at
tributed, that the term general debil-
ity is used to describe the condition..
People so afflicted are generally not
acutely sick nor are they well and the
result is long period Of unhappiness
during which the patient drags
through the duties of the day and
losses restlessly by night.
The symptoms of general debility
vary according to the cause, but weak
ness is always present, tendency to
perspire and fatigue easily, ringing in
the ears, sometimes black spots passing
before the eyes, weak back, vertigo,
rwakefulneSS caused by inability to
stop thinking, and unrefreshing sleep.
The cause of the trouble may be some
drain on the system or it may be men,
tai or physical overwork, sometimes
insufficient nutrition due to digestive
disturbance. In the latter case there
is generally a loss of appetite and
coated tongue as we'll as general Ian
guor and debility.

pher, living at Il Mill street, Water

for some time and was entirely cured
and have had no return of the trouble"
The mother, Mrs George MetZger, is
enthusiastic in her praise Of DR. Will
liamS' Pink Pills and says that they
are her favorite family remedy.
DR. Williams Pink Pills cure debility
because they actually make new, red,
rich blood, and as the blood carries
nourishment to all the organs and It's
sues of the body, nerves as we'll as
muscles, the new blood stimulates the
organs to do the work that nature ex-
poets of them and normal health fol-
lows AS the stomach is toned up, in
digestion disappears and greater nour-
ishment is derived from the food. The
nerves are revitalized and refreshing
sleep is obtained. Not only is this
tonic treatment sufficient to cure de-
bility but many severe disorders of the
blood and nerves have yielded to its
curative action. Fresh air, sufficient
exercise and nourishing food greatly
assist the pills in etfecting cures in all
cases of debility.
The pills are sold by all druggists or
