Democratic Organization.
To the Editor of The Express :
Por the purpose of effecting the
thorough organization of the Demo
c tic party in this county, I submit
the following plan. This plan must
properly represent every single voter
if they will attend the meetings at
their precincts. No chance for rings
bv this arrangement, and the voice
of the people will be proclaimed:
Let the chairman ot the executive
committee call a meeting of the Dem
ocratic party, to assemble at their re
spective precincts at a given day, for
the purpose of nominating delegates
to represent them at a county conven
tion, to be held subsequently by a
call of the chairman of the executive
committee. At these militia district
meetings they shall elect by ballot
their delegates to the county conven
tion; and each district shall be enti
tled to a proper pro rata number of
votes, according to their ratio of
voters as by the tax digest. When
the delegates are assembled at the
county court house, all candidates
for state or county offices, who shall
be pledged to stand by the nomina
tion. shall be balloted for, and the
highest number or numbers shall be
entitled to the nomination.

THE BARTOW DEMOCRACY.
Tli© M.iss Meeting Last Saturday for
Gubernatorial Convention Delegates.
The meeting was called to order
by Dr. S. W. Leland, chairman of
the Democratic Executive Committee
of the county, who explained briefly
tiie object of the meeting.
On motion of Mr. T. J. Lyon the
Hon. P. M. B. Young was chosen
permanent chairman of the meeting,
and on motions of Messrs. F. M.
Ford and J. W. Harris, Mark A.
Hardin and James B. Conyers were
chosen secretaries.
The following resolutions were in
troduced by Mr. W. H. Gilbert and
on motion adopted:
Resolved , That we approve and
heartily endorse the platform of prin
ciples promulgated by the Democrat
ic convention of the United States,
recently in session at St. Louis, and
that we pledge our earnest support
to the distinguished patriotic citi
zens presented to the country by that
convention as the standard-bearers
of the Democracy and the friends of
reform in the approaching Presiden
tial campaign ; that in the persons
of Samuel J. Tilden and Thomas A.
Hendricks we recognize unyielding
friends and exponents of that reform
in all departments of the civil service
of the Federal government, without
which the government itself must
in a few years become bankrupt, and
its citizens mere “ hewers of wood
and drawers of water ” amidst the
decline and decay of the country’s
commerce and business; and believ
istcr the VuWuVjl.t
government honestly and economi
cally, and within constitutional
limits, we earnestly hope for their
election and will labor zealously to
secure it.
Resolved[ That, in the selection of
Governor for the grand old State of
Georgia, it is the earnest desire of
the Democracy of Batow county that
a man shall be placed in the execu
tive chair whose ability, capacity
and fitness for the office will inspire
the people with the hope of an econ
omical administration of our State
government to the end that the bur
dens of taxation, now weighing
down the energy of the people, may
be lightened as far as possible; that
the sun of prosperity may once again
shine with joyful light upon our
tax-ridden people and once more
revive the industrial energies of our
State.
Resolved , That, in order to secure
such reform, we appeal to the honest
and toiling people of Georgia
to see to it that the next Legislature
is composed of the best men of the
State, pledged to a reduction of the
State’s expenditures as far as may be
consistent with tiie efficiency of the
public service.
Resolved . That, !n order that the
Democracy of Bartow county may
fairly express their choice for Gover
nor in the selection of the man they
believe to be most capable of inau
gurating the needed reform in the
State’s affairs, a dieeet ballot betaken
for Governor, and that the chairman
of this meeting appoint a committee
of one for each district to select a del
egation in accordance with the ex
pressed will of the Democrocy here
assembled to be ratified by the same,
pledged to carry out that will in the
State convention as long as there is
rasonable hope of success—then to aid
in the next best man—looking all the
time to the interests of the State and
people and the harmony of the Dem
ocratic party of Georgia.
■ Mr. T. J. Lyon then move*! That
the meeting proceed to ballot and
that tellers be appointed by the
chairman to receive and count the
votes, which motion was adopted.
T. W. Milner then moved to re
consider the action of the meeting on
the motion of Mr. T. J. Lyon, which
motion to reconsider prevailed.
Mr. T. W. Milner then moved
that the meeting proceed to ballot
for Governor as provided by the res
olutions of Mr. Gilbert and that there
be four tellers appointed by the
chairman to receive and count the
votes and that the names of all per
sons voting be recorded by the secre
taries and that the polls be held open
until 4 o’clock P. M., which motion
was unanimously adopted.
The chairman appointed John W.
Wofford, T. W. Milner, R. \V. Mur
phy and W. H. Gilbert as tellers.
At 4 o’clock P. M. the polls were
closed and the result of the vote was
as follows:
Johnson 261
Colquitt 215
The chairman then appointed a
committee of Johnson men, one
from each militia district in the coun
ty as delegates in the gubernatorial
convention at Atlanta on the second
day of August, 1876.
After said committee had retired,
the following resolutions were intro
duced by Thos W. Milner, which
were adopted:
We, the Democracy of Bartow
county in mass meeting assembled,
do
Resolve, That the direct, explicit
and unequivocal demand for reform
and economy made by the platform
adopted by the National Democratic
Convention at St. Louis, and the
candidates for President and Vice
President, meets our hearty concur
rence and most emphatic endorse
ment : and as members of the great
national democratic party, we pledge
our undivided effort towards staying
the tide of corruption and centraliza
tion which threatens to destroy the
republic and the liberties of the peo
ple.
2nd. That it is necessary a work of
genuine reform and retrenchment
should commence in our own State
and municipal administrations, and
be vigorously and earnestly present
ed until taxation and the expendi
ture of public money be reduced to
the lowest practicable limit. This
work cannot be effected without con
centration of effort on the part of
those who feel that the salvation of
the government and the liberties of
the people depend upon a reduction
of taxation, by an honest and eco
nomical administration of public af
fairs Office-seekers promise reform
and retrenchment! Office-holders do
not reduce taxation, and industry is
prostrated; labor is unproductive;
honesty is starving and dishonesty
thriving.
3. That in order to secure compact
and thorough organization, which is
the surest means of success, we urge
upon the Democracy in Georgia the
support of candidates for the next
Legislature in the several counties,
who stand before the people pledged
to reform and retrenchment. That
in order to reduce taxation, we, the
Democracy of Bartow do lavor a gen
eral reduction of all salaries and
commissions in the various offices in
our State and county government.
We favor the consolidation ot all of
fices wnere the same is proper and
the establishment of all offices where
the same are necessary. We favor
biennial sessions of the State Legis
lature, and a reduction of the mem
bers of the House of Representatives,
We would reduce the House by the
formation of representative districts
and apportion the members to the
districts so that the present member
ship in the House would be reduced
to about one-half. We favor a
change in our jury system so far as a
reduction of the grand jury from 18
to 23 to 8 to 13.
4. That the present constitution of
the State must be changed before
m my and necessary reforms such as
those enumerated can be effected, we
therefore favor tiie calling of a con
stitutional convention as early as the
same is practicable, by the Legisla
ture of the State.
The committee reported the follow
ing named persons as delegates and
alternates, to-wit.:
Gen. P. M. B. Young, Gen. W. T.
Wofford, Mr. F. M. Ford and Capt.
T. J. Lyon.
Alternates.—S. F. Stephens, A. R.

Miss Hendrick’s School.
T. oo t aftamoon. in response
to a kind invitation we boarded a
goodly sized Studebaker wagon in
company with that party of jovial
gentlemen, the Cartersville brass
band for a jaunt into the grasshopper
cursed county as well as to
be present at the exhibition of Miss
Carrie Hendrick’s school. Our party
was halted just as it crossed the river
at Deweese’s ferry, by that prince of
good fellows, Mr. Wm. Dewecse,
made to “step down and out” of
their vehicle, walk into his house and
enjoy a splendid supper which his
good lady had prepared.
The boys did justice to it. Hereaf
ter when we feel kinder solitary and
alone about the paunch we want to
take a trip with that brass band.
You, reader, have no idea how the
boys are fed.
Well, to pass on. By eight o’clock
a dense throng of humanity had as
sembled in front of the school build
ing where a regular old-fashioned
bush arbor had been erected. After
a few moments’ waiting the brass
band opened the exorcises with one
of their “quick and devilish” tunes.
Then commenced the declamations.
We have never in our life seen such
small children as Miss Hendricks is
teaching acquit themselves with so
much credit on a public occasion.
Their renditions were perfectly
wonderful. We would like to speak
of the little ones separately but our
space will not permit us. If Miss
IT. has advanced these children in
their other studies, which we have
reason to believe she has, as she lias
in declamation her patrons should
surely feel proud of her.
Lot. John \V. *\Y oftoril, tiller the
children had gotten through with
their exercises was introduced and
in one of his forcible and character
istic efforts held the large audience
spell bound.
After the Colonel’s speech Mr.
Bates was vociferously called for but
owing to the lateness of the hour did
not respond.
After several pieces by the band
the throng dispersed, feeling them
selves under many obligations to
Miss H. for the delightful evening’s
entertainment and fuliy aroused to
the great question of “Education.”
Effects Truly Wonderful.
Cartersville, Ga., April 2fl, 1809.
This will certify that two members of my im
mediate family, after having suffered for sev
erallyears from menstrual irregularity, and
having been treated without benefit by va
rious medical doctors, were at length com
pletely cured by one bottle of Dr. J. Bvadfield’s
FEMALE REGULATOR. I therefore, deem it
my duty to furnish this certificate, with the
hope of drawing attention of suffering women
kind to the merits of a medicine whose power
in curing irregular and suppressed menstrua
tion, has been proven under my own personal
observation. Its effect on such cases is truly
wonderful, and well may the remedy be called

ripened a lasting friendship.
Obitaaw.
Died, in B;rto\v county on the 28th of June,
Mbs. Henrietta F. Jones, in the twenty
second year of her age. She leaves a husband
and two little children to mourn their loss.
She was the daughter of Mr. Elliott*Moore
and Mrs. Anna Moore. She was sick but a
few days, her disease being violent in its na
ture and rapid in its work of death; conse
quently she said but little in her last sickness.
Her friends, however, have great hope in her
death, for iff the age of fifteen years she sought
and embraced religion, joined the M. E.
church, South, and remained true to her vows
and obligations until she died. She was
greatly beloved by her acquaintances, friends
and relatives. She was an obedient daughter,
an affectionate and kind wife, a loving and de
voted mother. But parents, husbaud and
children need not weep without comfort, for
it is written in the Scriptuares that precious In
the sight of the Lord is the death of His
saints. Blessed are the dead who die In the
Lord; yea, saith the Spirit, for they rest from
heir labors.

On Wednesday afterneon our
young friend J. Watt Harris, Jr.,
drove out from the manufactory of
Jones & Gower an elegant little bug
gy to which was attached the famous
little pony “Scallawag.” The bug
gy is a marvel of workmanship and
reflects great credit upon Jones &

Edwards & Callahan in their usual
fine style ot doing up things, and the
whole team reflects great credit upon

him. We will say that he who
wants an extraordinarily fine set of
harness should be sure to call on Jim.

THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.
Tho following message from the
President of the United States was
read in the House on the 30th ult.
To the House of Representatives:
The act making appropriations Jr
the sundry civil expenses of
Government for the year ending
June 30, 1877, is so defective in
it omits to provide for that I caMiot
announce its approval without at the
same time pointing out what seems
to ine its defects, It makes but in
adequate provision for the service at
best, and in some instances fail to
make any provision whatever.”
[Here followed details, emboided in
early reports.] “Finally, without
further specification of detail, it may
be said that the act, which in its title |
purports to make provision for divers j
and greatly extended civil service
unhappily appropriates an amount
not more than sixty-five per cent, of
its ordinary demands. The legisla
tive department establishes and de
fines the service and devolves upon
the Excutive Department, the obli
agtion of submitting annually the
needful estimates of the expense oI
such service. Congress properly
acts implicit obedience to the requirlH
meats of the law in the administraW
tion of the public service and rigid!
accountability in the expenditure!
thereof. It is summitted that a cor
responding responsibilty and obliga
tion rests upon it to make adequate
I appropropriation to render possible
such administration and tolerable
such exaction. Anything: short of
I ample provision for a specified ser
vice is necessarily fraught with disas
ter to the public interests and is pos
sible injustice to those charged with
its execution. To appropriate and
execute are'correspondingiy obliga
tions and duties, and the adequacy
of the former is the necessary
measure of the efficiency of the exe

Onestions for Every one to Ausvver.
Are 3*oll troubled with indigestion,
Constipation of the Bowels, D.vspep
pepsia or any disease of the Liver?
Have you suffered for years and
found no relief from the use of med
icines? Do you have a fa'nt appe
tite, and are you troubled with feel
ings of languor? If you have these
feelings we know you have not tried
the new discovery MERRELL’S
HEPATINE, at David W. Curry’s
Drug Store. It is performing won
derful cures in this and all other
communities where the people use it.
It is pronounced by all the best Liver
Medicine in the world. Two doses
will relieve the worst case of Dyspep
sia or Constipation of the Bowels.
Each bottle contains fifty doses, and
a teaspoonful of this medicine in a
wineglassful of water three times a
day, produces a most wonderful
change. Where the system is run
down with loss of energy and appe
tite, or Dyspepsia, with all its train
of evil, is effecting its deadly work,
this remedy, Murrell’s Hepatine,
never fails to bring about a speedy
and permanent cure. Those who
doubt the merit and virtues of this
medicine and live from day to day
without trying the Hepatine, have
our sympathy, hut can not be cured
unless tney take the Medicine.
