ATTENTION DEMOCRATS!

The campaign for Congress is now
on in earnest. The registering of
voters is completed, and the next thing
for Democrats to do is to act as mission
aries for the good of the Democratic
party and its candidate. The Republi-
can party has the solid negro vote 70
begin with and every effort will be
made now to get white men to vote for
their candidate. with the full knowledge
that they can depend upon the negro.
All kinds of arguments will be brought
to bear upon the white man and all
kinds of promises will be made him. at
least this has been the method employ
ed by Republicans in past campaigns.
To what ends the Republicans will go
to interest the negro voters in their
campaigns was shown recently in Sussex
County. Delaware, when one of the
Republican candidates gave reception
to large number of his negro follow
ers at his home. and in his parlor his
wife passed around the refreshments
and chatted entertainingly with her
husbands guests. We have no doubt
some of the better thinking negroes
would rather have been in the home of
one of their own color. so no fault is
found with them; but this shows the
trend to social as well as political
equality of the races, and was brought
about by the negro holding the balance
of power in Delaware.
Worcester County is governed by
white men and will continue to be as
long as the Democratic party controls
its affairs. And so long as it does con-
troll there will be no such social equality
here, therefore every effort should be
made by white men at all times to elect
Democrats to office. There should be
no let up in the interest of campaigns.
Just because we have only one candi
date in the field this fall. should not
cause us to lessen our efforts in behalf
of party success at the polls. because a
small majority will give courage to the
foe. Such lack Of interest and inter
nal warfare brought success TO the
Republican party of Delaware, and with
it political disgrace for the State, hard
ship for the taxpayers, and TO certain
degree has broken down social barriers
which every white man considered
necessary for the welfare of his wife
and daughters One Of the evils Of this
political change in Delaware is the
great increase of the tax rate. The
SUSSEX JournaI, published at George
town, is publishing each week list
showing the difference in the taxes paid
by individuals under Democratic con-
troll in Sussex County and under Repub-
lican control. In many cases the rate
has doubled under Republican manage
ment. and no improvements in roads.
buildings, etc, have been made. The
illustration is telling one and the peo-
pie of Delaware are thoroughly aroused
and determined to turn out of power
the party Of graft and social equality.
We urge all Democrats, yes. all white
men, to stand together in Worcester
County for white supremacy.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an nhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube When this tube is
inflamed YOU have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing. and when il is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result.
and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored To its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh. which is nothing
but an infiamed condition OF the mucous
surfaces.
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall. 5

Letter To William c. Powell, Snow Hill
Maryland.

Dear Sir: Our agent ought to sell
nine-tenths of the paint of his town and
region, no use TO try for the other
tenth. The proportion of men, who
won't take good advice, and use the
least-gallons paint, is about one in ten
among even owners of houses and stores
and shops and barns and fences.
One man in ten will buy gold brick
or green goods, if he has the money and
gets a good chance
Devoe at Sl.75 gallon is better than
gold; adultered and short measure paints
are green goods and gold bricks.
Devoe saves half, more or less, of the
labor and wages of painting: it is all
paint; full strength and full measure
There is no other such paint within ten
per cent. Ten per cent of labor and
paint is worth saving; and ten is the
least. There are scores of paints that
throw-away half of both gallons and
labor on whiting, china-clay. ground
stone, barytes. benzine, water all they
are good for is to make gallons of moth
ing and look like paint in the can; more
gallons to pay for putting-on gold
bricks and green goods. Here's how
they work.
Judge Id. Fairchild owns two houses
exactly alike in Lufkin. Texas. j. II.
Terrence painted both houses; one De
voc, l5A gallons; the other with an
other paint sold at same price; rs gallons.
That 25 gallon paint is weak and Is per
cent. whiting; that's why il took % gal
Ions more.
Yours truly
