MISREPRESENTATION TO ROB VOTES.

The sap.suckers are at work
making an effort to break the
confidence the masses have in
Hon. E. D. Smith: candidate for
the United States Senate. They
are circulating a report the effect
that Smith is q dealer in cot
ton futures. The purpose being
obvious; il Smith is dealing
in futures, at the same time de-
nouncing the cotton gamblers
in Wall street. he would be a
hypocrlte of the deepest dye,
and if his enemies can create
the impression that he is a cot
ton gambler, it is plain to see
it would shake confidence in him
and transfer the farmer vote to
the professional politicians.
Upon hearing this report sew
eral months ago, we made in
quiry, and found that Mr.. Smith
was at one time a cotton buyer
at Lynchburg, while engaged in
that business he based his pur-
chases upon the future market,
the same as most buyers, that
| he would sell a contract for a
price, and buy the real cotton
based upon that price, in other
words. he managed the trans
actions in futures as aprotection
to his purchases. At that time
he was a local cotton buyer, and
was such an active one that he
had the reputation of forcing
full prices for the staple, and in.
Cured the enmity of his com
petitors. The cotton buyers
everywhere are opposed to him.
The farmers where Smith
bought cotton know him,
and were fully posted with his
transactions, to the extent that
thousands of bales of cotton were
bought by Smith which would
have gone to another market
where buyers are in combination.
Smith was the most formidable
competitor the Sprunts had
When the cotton association
started Smith gave up the cot
ton buying business to devote
himself to organizing the farm
ers and business men. and when
he enlisted in this cause which
has done so much for the South,
he not only gave up all trans
actions in futures, but actually
went to New York to investigate
the methods of the cotton ex'
change and, from that time on ne
has waged an relentless wal
upon cotton gambling. 1t was
through the efforts of Mr.. Smith
the exposures of the agricultural
department were madean which
forced the government to give
=: assurance that no more ad-
, ,.:.,::e reports will leak out from
this bureau. Smith was so hot

the nomination of Bryan to the

put d man in the senate whose
sympathies for the people are
known, a man who has shown his
faith by his works, one who in
season and out of season has
labored faithfully, Loyalty and
intelligently for the upbuildlng
of the material interests OF
the people of the South. II
ever there was a jealous worker
for the masses it is Hon. B. d.
Smith. He has hammered at
the door of public conscience tor
years demanding justice for the
people in the cotton growing
States, and his appeals and de-
mands have attracted the atten-
tion of the entire commercial
world, to the extent, that al
though only partially organized
the agitation by the cotton asso-
ciation has had the effect of fore
| ing the spinners throughout
America and Europe to take
notice, made. them come across
with overtures for concessions,
and adjust their contracts for the
manufactured product on a basis
of the demands made by the
Southern Cotton Association:
with the result, that millions OF
dollars has come to the South
which would have remained IN
the North and Europe. This is
only the beginning OF the asso-
cations work, a good, strong,
earnest worker upon the floor OF
the United States Senate, back
ed by a sympathetic delegation
can labor for the bringing about
of legislation which will put the
product of the South-the cloth
inc for the world, upon at least
as sure a commercial footing as
whiskey. The reason cotton is
not recognized as stable secur-
ity in commercial centers, is be-
cause the South has not made
the right demands for its recog.
milton; this is not an opinion OF
ours, but it is the expressed
opinion Of the great Secretary OF
Agriculture. in a speech dellv-
cred in Sumter. He said the
farmers of the South have never
demanded from Congress what
is their right.
We need a man to represent
US who has made a study OF the
needs of the masses, and whose
heart is in the work. such men
are few, there is no trouble IN
securing politicians; in the
present aggregation OF candl-
dates there are a number who
have never attempted to lift a
finger to aid the cause of the
masses. When the fight was
being waged to better the condl-
ton of the cotton farmers who
ever heard of one Of these ex,
officials or ex- candidates, not one
OF them, they were e.s mute as
, mice, but now, after the most
strenuous efforts and a grand
prospect for a successful fruition
OF the cotton associations hopes,
these professional politicians and
standing seekers for Office would
T hold out their hands to the peo.
pie for the reward so justly and
so gloriously merited by Hon.
E. D. Smith, the man who has
, dore more for his people, and
, the entire South than all of the
, politicians in it.
We cannot conceive how any
!, man at ali interested IN the vel,
fare of the South can give his
consent to vote against one who
has so fully demonstrated his
: ability to accomplish results. L
looks to US that gratitude should
! prompt US, farmer, merchant
, banker or what not, to vote fo1
!, Smith for the Senate.

1t is free and deeply interests everybody

and quickest means to get strong and
well by accepting that splendid free offer
of the great specialist in curing nervous
and chronic diseases, DR.. Greene of "a
Temple Place, Boston, Mass. He has es-
tablished a system Of letter correspon-
dence through which all sick and suffer-
ing people can learn exactly what ais
them, and how to get well without ex-
pense and without leaving their homes.
All they have to do is write to the doc
tor, stating each symptom from which
they are suffering, and he will answer
their letter, explaining their case thor
oughly, telling just what the trouble is
and what to do to be cured. He gives
the greatest care and attention to every
letter, and tells the cause of each symp-
tom SO plainly that patients understand
instantly just what ais them. And all
this costs nothing. 1t is q splendid OPP
portunity for those who cannot afford
the time and expense to go to the city.
DR.. Greene makes q speciality of curing
patients through letter correspondence.
He is the most successful specialist in
curing nervous and chronic diseases, and
is the discoverer of that wonderful medi-
cine, DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and
nerve remedy. Those who write to him

Death of Mrs. George II. kimball.

Friends in Bethel were greatly shocked
Sunday morning by the receipt of a mes
sage from Carney hospital, Roxbury,
Mass, announcing the death at a. m.
that day of Mrs. Kimball. Two weeks
ago Mrs. Kimbau went to Boston in APP
parent good health. She had been trou-
bled some during the winter with an OBJ
stacle in her throat, and it was thought
best to have an examination by special
list. The obstacle was declared to be of a
cancerous nature. The mother of Mrs.
Kimb had died of cancer and the dan
gerous situation was apparent to the pa
tient. An operation must be extremely
dangerous, but yet was the only hope,
and it was Mrs. Kimball's earnest request
that it be performed. The operation took
place last Thursday at the Carney hospi-
tai and the patient seemed to be doing
well until Sunday morning, when she
seemed to sink gradually away with no
suffering. Funeral services were held
Wednesday at her late home on River
street, Rev. W. B. Reynolds, rector OF
Christ church, officiating, and the inter
ment was in Stockbridge.
