TIIK EXPRESS. blished in 186 T. FRANK P. CRAY, 1 Editors T. K. UANRIUY, \ *'" ,,orß THUBSDAY, OCT, 2-1, IhTB. FOR CONGRESS : HON. CEO. N. LESTER, OF COBB. “If the Convention was to NOMINATE AS GOOD AND PURE A man as Geo. N. Lester, I would G HOUND ARMS AND RETIRE TO PRI VATE i.ifh.”—lF. If. Felton fin 1874. WK HERE, MHAT M E SAID TO Ur. FELTON’S FACE-THAT IIE IS THE MOST ARTFUL TRICKSTER ME HAVE EVER KNOWN. WE SAT THIS WITH RE i.HKT, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT REFERS TO A MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL WHO SHOULD BE PURE AND GUILELESS AND UNSPOTTED FROM THE WORLD.— C. 11. C. Willingham, Oct. 5. 1876. Cotton was sold jn New .York last week at the lowest price since the close of the war. If is reported that old llutler is spending bushels of money, made from New Orleans spoons, to elect himseif in Massachusetts. “Divide and destroy,” is the Re publican motto. They have already done the former—shall they be allow cd to accomplish the latter? The camp fires are burning bright ly all along the line. Good men, think of to-morrow’s battle and trust in God for strength to overcome the foe; Dr. Felton is the wedge that the Republicans are using to split the Democratic party. What Democrats will suffer themselves to be used as mauls to drive it in? „ The Republicans in New Yoik and Atlanta are betting on Felton, and the Atlanta ones are contributing money for bis cause. Democrats, make a note of this. Look out for frauds and illegal vo ting on the sth of November. The negroes of Alab ma are preparing to march, perhaps for the shot bag full of pewter dollars of which General Toombs talks so much. Let it be remembered that not a single charge uttered against Judge Lester has been substantiated, no not one. The vialsof wrath were opened upon him but their contents fell harmless at his leet. Come, now, let us reason together. It' a man showed his love for his peo ple by s; erifk’ing his blood upon the lit hi of battle, in time of war, will lie not do to trust to represent them in time of peace. If you think he will, vote for Geo. N. Lester. The newspapers and stationary for, the members of the House of the Representatives for the first session of the 45th (present) Congress, cost *: 17 ,625. Dr. Felton was a member of that house, and thinks the price very moderate. Who are the Independents? Who are the Democrats, and what are their respective objects? Look upon their hosts, their leaders and cap tains. Observe their manner of war fare, and calmly decide under which banner you will enlist. “Birds of a feather will flock to gether” is an old and true saying. Hargrove and the Republican party generally are supporters of Dr. Fel ton. Condemn this alliance on the sth of November by casting your ballot for Lester and true Democra cy. Dr. Felton has nowhere said one we din praise of the Democracy or of censure for the Republicans. He is for Felton all the time. “Good Lord save me and no more is his political prayer.” Democrats, take heed and return to your father’s bouse. Under which king. Shall it be Hargrove, Holtzdaw, Republicanism and Felton? Or shall it be Lester and Democracy, choose, ye breth ren, “the alliance offensive and de fensive” or tiie cause of Democracy which is the cause of liberty all over tli s country. Gordon, Lester, Colquitt and many others who are upholding the Demo ( tic banner, showed their devotion to their country’s cause by shoulder ing their guns and going to the front \\ hen tin- ir country called. Dr. Fel ton stayed at home, shielded by the fi i'u on negro exemption law. Which of them deserves to be rewarded by their grateful countrymen? While we have no sort of a doubt of Lester’s triumphant election, the Democracy should not rest upon their arms until the sun sets on thesth day ol November. “Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” Let us be watch ful and industrious. Let us make a strong pull altogether for a large ma jority, neither resting or tiring until certain victory is achieved. In 1876, Hayes’ vote at the Rome box was 1094, and Felton’s 1317,which shows that here in Rome Felton re ceived only 223 Democratic votes. Tilden received 1155 votes and Dab ney 910, showing that Dabney lost 2:15 Democratic votes—223 of these going for Felton, which added to the R tdical vote, 1094, makes Felton’s cote 1317. With all these facts before them some men say that Felton is a Democrat.—[Rome Courier. Democrats, look out for tricks and circulars gotten up to mislead and deceive. The enemy is up and do ing. Vote for the party that has freed Georgia and be not deceived by bogus circulars and other printed matter eminating from the Felton ring of disorganizes, aided by the Republicans in Georgia and else where. Stand by the old party which has upon its rolls the namer of the truest iud best men in Georgia and the South, and be on the safe side. Will you endorse the abuse heaped upon Judge Lester, Gov. Colquitt, Gen Gordon, the dead heroes of a hundred battles and their wives and daughters who mourn and delve in poverty all over the South ? Do you want Democracy to perish, Radical ism to triumph and our old masters to laugh and chuckle at our new evils. In a word, will you condemn the heroism of southern soldiers, and virtues of southern women, and aid to enthrone again the party of in iquity and corruption, if so, by all me m vote for Dr. Felton. TIIE CAUSE OF OUR COUNTRY. The elect ion which come- off on the , sth of November is one of more im portance to our country generally than a cause of mere favoritism. We speak for the causa of our coun try, of tiie State and Union—the cause of that party which for three quarters of a century 1133 illustrated the wisdom and the patriotism of America, and which, from the days of Jefferson, has been the advocate ! of Constitutional, civil and religious liberty. Its record is marked with a faithful adherence to the grand eaqse for whicn our fathers battled, and it can point to a record of which free men everywhere have just cause to be proud. It has given the South its Constitutional rights, and lias freed Georgia from her foes. But for the Democratic party we would to-day have no rights as citizens, but would suffer under iniquitous measures en gendered by tiie party of hate and corruption. After the war where was hope outside of the Democratic party ? To what refuge could w T e flee but under its protecting wing? Was there any place of safety for the peo ple but under the the folds of its flag of liberty ? Is it not, therefoie, safe to conclude that it is better to stand by that party than to run after strange Godsof which we know nothing,and after strange men who bear no flag with which we are acquainted. Men are not the question now, but rather shall we destroy that party, break its lines, and let in tiie old foe who stands ready to take advantage of our division to effect our ruin. Here is the question. We in the South need a party to stand by us under whose shield we can enjoy the bit ssings of liberty. The Democrat ic party is that party. It is the party of the people. Jefferson gave it life, Madison fortified it and Jackson sup ported it. In its ranks are found all the great and true men of the South. Look over the political field, see what it has done, and consider whether you can afford to destroy it, or whether your country’s welfare de mands that you should nourish it with your ballots. This is the time to sacrifice our individual preferences and prejudices—in the same spirit that Abraham prepared to sacrifice bis first born —to obtain tlie success of tiie Democratic party, and thesuc cess which aiway-. follow in its path of victory. Greenback, labor and National parties should rally around it, at least until after ISBO. On elect ion day you will find arrayed aginst you the Republican party, which will fight under t e Independent flag as the Hessians did under that of the British. They will seek to divide and destroy. Let tiie Democracy be true to its past history. Let the col umns stand firm, that victory will be ours. Let us remain solid, and present a picture which some future historian may portray in fitting lan guage, similar to that applied to Rome, when in her days of glory when her sons were pure and her daughter’s virtuous — For Romans in Rome’s quarrels spared not land nor gold ; Nor sons, nor wives, nor limb nor life ; In th brave ilajs of old, Then no one was for Sell, Then all were for State; Then the rich man helped the poor man, And the poor man loved the gie.it. This was the condition of things in Georgia after the Democratic party, threw ofl her shackles and declared her free, until the armed satraps packed their tents, and like the Arab silently stole away. Let the good work continue, and may it never be written of Georgia, as it was of Rome in a latter day— Now Roman is to Roman more hateful than a toe, j And the tribunes bare the hide, and the rich men grind the poor, As we wax hot in taction, in battle we wax cold. For Rome has lost the greatness of the good days ot old. Certainly the contest in the Seventh district augurs some what of the lat> ter, and history reminds us to call a halt, and reason together. The situa tion is pregnant with danger. Friends are against friends, and brother against brother in the unholy strife. Let us raise the old flag again, and rally around it as one family, with one country, and with one destiny. Let us vote for the Democratic stan dard bearer, George N. Lester, and thus cement the arch which is being attacked by its enemies, and which is ! shaking now unto its very base. Patriot's close up! Democrats, re form your lines! Warn off camp followers. Keep your powder dry, and on the sth of November, let there be no such word as fail. There are only two great parties in this country. With which wi’l you be counted in the grand contest which draweth nigh. The supporters of Dr. Felton, seeing the handwriting on the wall, and the inevitable defeat which awaits them, will in a few days send out through the mails a vast number of printed sheets filled, of course, with all man ner of misrepresentations, and that too late for the friends of Judge Les ter to overtakeand refute them. This of course shows to wlmt straits they are driven, and the bare fact of send ing out such publications at this late hour should convince all lair minded persons that the subject matter is un worthy of belief, otherwise they would have been sent out before; Be ware of these sheets. They will not bear the scrutiny of truth; hence their publication just on the eve of the elec tion. Beware of them. Spurn them from your door, and record your con demnation of such a cause by voting for Geo. N, Lester. Lester’s empty sleeve has been denounced and ridiculed, and the cause for which he fought and bled has been pronounced “disgraceful,” and the wives and daughters of con federate soldiers who sleep in un numbered graves have had their virtues spit upon and despised by negro orators belonging t o Dr. Fel ton’s supporters. People of th e ; Seventh District, can it be possible that you will endorse those utteran anees at the polls. If so, here indeed, the fair cause of freedom rose and fell. The contractionists ate continually ( calling those who oppose them Infla tionists. This is not so. They sim ply oppose a too sudden contraction of the currency. If every man who owned SI,OOO would look at the result of the contraction of the currency since 1865, and remember that it is just as hard for him now to pay that 81,000 as it would have lieen to pay $2,000 had the curreHpy remained as it was in 1865, then he will better under.stand the currency question. People are prone to run after politi cians and politics without knowing the whys and wherefores or studying the causes and effects of our present! financial embarrassments. i WHITIIER ARE WE DRIFTING. Shall Wo Have Social n in Georgia " Zachariah B. Hargrove, the dimin utive Radical postmaster at Rome, Ga., is known to be one of I)r. Fel ton’s strongest allies. He's peak 3 for Felton. He attends FeJtorPs meetings, and sits in the stand and af on the rostrum as one of Feltoa’s counsel- , ors and friends. It is understood that Zacariah is a famous organizer j of the colored people for Dr. Felton. I The doctor is “cheek by jo w 1 ” with Zachariah, and loves'him, 1 as David : loved Jonathan. How dots Zieha | riah stand upon the subject of mis- I eegenation ? What does he think of the intermarriage of whites and blacks ? How does lie feel upon the subject of social equality which i Mould result from a white man mar rying a colored woman, or a whifi | woman marrying a colored man ? i Zachariah has a “record” on that | subject. I wonder if Dr. Felton has | ever criticized that “record.” if he has never done so, ids attention is j called to page 85 of volume 1 of “Testimony taken by the Joint Se lect Committe to inquire into the condition of affairs in the lute insur rectionary States.” On that occa sion Zjchariah was questioned, and ans Mered as follows : Question. — You said that once in au’hile a white woman w ould marry a black man; that always gives offense to the people of that region of j country, does it not ? Answer. —I think that it is more or less wearing away; people are ac ! commodating themselves more to the law of the land. I speak of it as a question ot taste. Ques. —Has not that beta in Geor • gia, as well as elsewhere, one thing j that has always given dissatisfaction ? Axs.—l believe that some who are | not so charitable and liberal in their j views as others have generally de | nounced it. Quis.—You think the bulk of j your people have not ? Ans. —I do ;I am willing myself to let it be a question of taste on both sides. How does that sound in the ears of Georgia people ? What do the peo ple of Georgia think of Zachariah swearing that the bulk of our people do not denounce the intermarriage of blacks and whites? What do you think of his stating under oath that some who are not so charitable and liberal in their view’s as others gen erally denounce the net of a white woman marrying a black man, but that the hulk of Georgia people do not denounce it ? Hear him when he comes to his own views and feel- j ings upon this question of social equality: “I” (charitable Zachariah, liberal Zachariah,) “am willing my self to let it be a question of taste on both sides.” Do these “charitable and liberal views” of his, upon social equality and miscegenation, account for the influence which he is said to have over the colored men of his vi 1 cinity? Such,people of the 7th District ; is one of the principal lieutenants of Dr. W. 11. Felton. Such is the man with whom Dr. Felton allies himself , to break down and destroy the Dem ocratic party. Will you join the i Felton-Hargrove ring ? Will you be one of the Felton-Hargrove Middle brooks- Henry Brown alliance? J USTICE. — ILLEGAL VOTING. CUT THIS OUT FOR REFERENCE. In order that persons may not plead ignorance of the law, that fair- I ness may prevail at the approaching : election, and see to the end that guiity parties who attempt to violate ' the election laws may be promptly , arrested, we print the law as it now j stands in regard to illegal voting, and the qualification of electors : Par. 11. Every male citizen of the j United States, (except as hereinafter | provided) twenty-one years of age, who shall have resided in this State one year next preceding the election, and shall have resided six months in the county in which he oilers to vote, ; and shall have paid all taxes which may hereafter be required of him, and which he may have had an op portunity of paying, agreeably to : law, except for the year of the elect ' ion, shall be deemed an elector; Fro i vided, that no soldier, sailor or marine in the military or naval service of the United States, shall acquire the rights of an elector, by reason of be ing stationed on duty in this state ; and no person shad vote who, if | challenged, shall refuse to take the following oath, or affirmation : “I do j swear (or affirm) that U am tM’eiity ; one years of age, have resided in this 1 State one year, and in this county six months, next preceding the election. I have paid all taxes which, since the adoption of the present Constitution ! of this State, have been required of !me previous to this yeai, and which I have had an opportunity to pay, and 1 have not voted at th is-election.” The penalty for illegal voting is laid down as follows : “If any person shall hereafter vote more than once at any election which may be held in any county in this State, he snail be punished by imprisonment and labor in the penetentiary for any term not less than one year nor rat re th in two years.” Voting by a minor under twenty one years and above fourteen is also j made a misdemeanor and is punish-j able as such. With these facts before the people I we trust that they will see to it that 1 the election which comes off on the! sth of November shall be fair in every particular. Let guards be) stationed at every precinct, and whether it be Lester or Felton, let him be elected fairly, and without! semblance of tricks or frauds. WAS LESTER A LOYAL LEAGUER - Another Canard Goes the Way of Ward’s Ducks. 1 have Lc-en informed that to the many misrepresentations and slan ders which Dr. Felton and his foliow -1 ers have put in circulatiou against me, the falsehood has t een added that I was a member of the “Loyal League.” This charge is unqualified ly false. There is not, and never has been, even the shadow of a founda tion for it. It is a pure fabrication. I never belonged to a loyal league, and never had the slightest idea of uniting or co-operating with such au organization. On the contrary, I have always fought the institution with all the power I possessed, and in order to counteract the evil machinations of these leagues I aided in organizing the first \oung Men’s Demociatic j Club in the Seventh Congressional District. This was done in the town of Cartersville, in the year ISuS, and if I mistake not, in the office of Mr. Murphy, of that place. Geo. NT.

On Thursday, Octblier 3l<f, there will be a grand barbecue and basket dinner at Cartersville. This will be the largest gathering ever witnessed in the Seventh Congressional District, or even in North Georgia, as the .grand old Democratic party has resolved to i collect its hosts from the mountains and the valleys, consign the past to oblivion and march to victory with its columns united and its phalanx unbro ken. Come one, come all —from the North, from the South, from the East and from the West—and join the mighty army of Democracy. *Free rai'- road transpartation has been secured at a heavy cost for the accommoda tion of the people both on the Wes tern <& Atlantic and Cherokee Rail roads and all are expected to turn out on that day with their baskets and help feed the multitude. The authorities of the Western & At j lautic Railroad have required us to say that all parties accepting the tickets purchased of the road by the Com mittee at this place will take thena and travel at their own risk as they cannot afford to sell tickets at such reduced rates and be heldaceountable for acci dents. They further require us to say that as they cannot give one party cheaper rates than another that they will, if desired, sell a like number of tickets t® Dr. Felton’s friends upon the : same terms accorded the friends of Judge Lester; that is one third the usual rates. Of course the same terms cannot be accorded for a less number of tickets, but they can get the same terms if they take the same number of tickets; or more. Governor Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, Governor Alfred li. Col- ! quitt, of Georgia, General John B. j Gordon and Judge George N. Lester, the Democratic standard bearer, will address the people 011 that day. We have received a telegram from 1 Governor Wade Hampton in which he says lie will certainly be here and nothing but Providence shall prevent him. Let the people come and listen to those whom they have delighted to honor in days gone by and who are to i day the hope of Southern freemen. Democrats, come and listen to those j who have led you to victory in peace . and in war and who have never de eeived you. Who have always gone to the front, no matter what danger i threatened, and stood a living wall be tween you and the destroying enemy. The following is the schedule of the special train secured for the purpose or bringing the people out: Special train coming from Dalton to Cartersville will leave Dalton at 7 o’clock a. m., and Arrive at Tilton 7-28 “ “ Resaca 7-47 “ “ Calhoun 8-03 “ “ McDanniels 8-24 “ “ Adairsville 8-43 “ “ Hall’s 8-59 “ “ Kingston 9-13 “ “ Cass 9-32 “ “ Rjgers 9-37 “ “ Cartersvill® 9-47 Special train coming from Atlanta to Cartersville will leave Vinings Sta | tion at 6-40 o’clock, a. m., and Arrive at Smyrna 7-1S “ “ Marietta 8-20 “ “ Big Shanty 8-45 “ “ Ac worth 9-04 “ “ Altoena 9-20 “ “ Bartow 9-27 “ “ Stegalls 9-31 “ “ Cartersville 9-45 The train going North in the after i neon will leave Cartersville at 5-20 1 o’clock, which will give every one ; plenty of time to get home.

WHY THEY WILL VOTE FOR LF.STEK. v The following is the platform of principles and obligation subscribed V 6 I>y the members of the Gordon county Lester club’: “We, the undersigned, constitute onrseh es the Gordon county Lester ■Clubhand do so in support of the great cause of human liberty and the redemption of the whole country from tiie oppression which bad legis lation has brought upon us. ‘We support Geogre N. Lester for Congress because he is the friend 1 of flfe jjeople, and is from the people \ and of the people. “We support George N. Lester for Congress because be is in favor of re ducing the enormous salaries of mem -1 bers of Congress, and also of a’l the government officials. “We support George N Lester for ! Congress because he is in f ivor of the entile abolition of the tobacco and whisky department of the Internal Revenue system and the allowing of v frisky and tobacco tax to be paid as i State and county taxes are, thus re ducing the expense of the general government to an euormous extent, and forever riddiug the country ol the swarms of revenue officers now infesting it. “We support George N. Lester for Congress because he is in favor ol taxes bearing equally upon all species of property. “We support George N. Lester for Congress because he stands firmly by the in 1 ere t of the people upon the greenback question, being in favor of the general government issuing mon ey for the benefit of all the people, and opposed to the enrichment of banks, money-kings or gold tyrants at the expense ot the laboring and producing classes. “We support George N. Lester for Congress because he is iu favor of and iu accord with all of the great principles which look to the redemp tion of the whole country in the great political contest to come off in 1880 ; and because he pledges himself to stand firmly by these principles and to labor unceasingly for reform in every shape. By these principles we stand or fall,’’ LOOK WELL TO THE BALLOT ROX. The importance of having a fair election on the sth of November must be apparent to all The follow ing plan suggested for the 7th Dis- I trict by the editor of the Cedartown j Express we think is a good one, and that or some other plan for preventing | repeaters and illegal voting should be j adopted : “There should be appointed iu each county as many men from each nrili : tia district as there are districts in each county. Tficse men must be acquainted with all the voters of their respective districts. At each voting I place in the county there must be one ! of these different district men pres ent; thus, every district in the conn ty will have a representative from its ! own, and one from all the others. By j this means illegal voters and repeat ! ers can be defeated. Also, there 1 should be at each district an alpha betical list of all the polls and de faulters in the county. This can be : obtained from the Tax Receiver’s book for 1878. Also, at one o’clock j in the day have as many lists made up as there are districts of all the men who have cast their votes. Send this post haste to all the other votiug places, so each will have a complete 1 record of those who have voted up to that time. Let vigilance be the watchword and let any one illegally ! attempting to vote be ai rested on the | spot!” A STRAW IX THE WIND. The election of Justice of tiie Peace of this district, last Saturday, resulted in the choice of Paul Wright, Esq., by a majority of 121 over the next hishest candidate, J. F. Hillyer, Esq. The vote stood: Wright 532 Hillyer 411 Cooper 100 Thornton 16 O’Rear 3 When it is remembered that Wrights brother, Scab, made the announce ment that none but a Felton man could be elected, and that the double barreled party did its best (with a few honorable exceptions) to elect their man, while the Democrats had a number of candidates and no organ ization, the result inspires the true Democrats with hope for the future. There were more than two hundred Democrats w’ho did not vote, and w r ho nearly all would have voted if there had been but one Democrat running. Wright carried the district by only ! two votes over his numerous disor ganized opponents, while Felton got 1 ft majority here two years ago of over ; four hdndred. With a full vote and a single opponent Wright might have been defeated by two hundred votes. —[Rome Courier. — ♦ > ERRATA. In Wool Hat’s communication the | types make him say that there was ' 202, and again 262, and again 292 de faulters in 1875. It should be 292 in each connection. Again; the sen tence “that is for those who allege it ! to prove they stand in the tax books ! as defaulters for 1875,” should read, that is for these who allege it to j 1 prove. They stand on the tax books as defaulters for 1875. Again: in the sentence “they are p:ima facie illegal votes if they voted at all in 1878,” the figures 1878 should ! I be 1876. Dr. Felton commenced his first race nearly four years ago by talking and promising reform, the reduction of salaries of Congressmen, Ac., but he is still drawing and pocketing his five thousand dollars a year, or four hundred and sixteen dollars per month, which amounts to over thir teen dollars per day, for every day in j the year, Sundays included. This 1 does not include mileage. At the i expiration of his present term he will ' have drawn twenty thousand dollars in four years besides mileage, which ! would make the aggregate over i twenty-five thousand dollars. These facts the records show. They also show the stern fact that, notwit h | standing his promises so often made, he has never made the slightest effort by a bill, or motion, or vote, or in any way whatever to reduce the pay of Congressmen below this amount. Does not this fact prove conclusively that he does not want it reduced? And yet while his pay is running at the above rate; while he is canvass ing for re-election he appeals long ingly to the poor laborers at fifty cents a day to return him at thirteen dollars per day. The doctor and his friends need not say he could not control this matter. He could have made an honest effort to do so, and four long years is long enough in which to give him a chance to make \ the effort. Will anybody be longer deceived into voting for him as a re former ? LATE NEWS ITEMS. Fr. st and fever h .ve crossed swords. There is only one negro in the next Legislature. Alia itv doctors, at last accounts, are working on 200 lerer cases in Chattanooga. The Murphy’s now number in Rome over 400. 0ver35,000 bales ol cotton have; been received in Augusta this season.

The contractors on the Cincinnati Southern have signed the contract to complete the road by the 27th ol Au gust, 1879, and will resume work at once. Hayes delivered a speech at Win ! Chester, Va., Wednesday, which was I almost exclusively devoted to the fi : nancial question, taking strong ground in favor of hard money, and quoting extensively from the writings of the Revolutionary statesmen. The speech was prepared with care and placed iu type some days before its delivery, and furnished to the press. It is to bo distributed by the Repub lican Campaign cimmittee. Lcuk out for the 2,100 illegal voters who figured in the last election, as well as the hundreds from Alabama who are preparing to march. The bark, “No Hope*’ will sail on November sth, for Salt river. Dr. Felton, it is said, has secured passage for himself aud a cargo of “record.’ Many others will sail with him. Sev ! eral newspapers will be taken as lal ; last. So far Gen. Toombs has not come into this District to speak for Dr. Felton. IJe scents Felton’s defeat | afar off and dont want to be caught in the trap, the triggers of which the voters will pull on the sth of Novem ber. Gen. Toombs is too wise to get on the losing side this time {and thus loose his reputation for foresighted ness and statesmanship. Last week our types were in error in making Hon. Ben. Hill say in speaking of Joal A. Billups that “he would sacrifice either his convictions or his party to secure any mere per sonal end.” It should have read: “He would sacrifice neither his con victions or his party to secure any mere personal end.” We make the correction for obvious reasons. The rumor reaches us through the Rome Courier that Dr. Felton’s lit tle Independent establishment is tot tering and likely to fall —that one of its main pillars i3 weakening. The Felton element now congrat ulate themselves that Gen. Toombs did not come to Felton’s support. 1 Some of them now say that he would have done harm if he had come —the old story of the fox and the grapes. Lester and Democracy is the watch word. Carry it along the lines that the fight is to be upon the enemies’ centre, composed of Hargrove, mis cegenation and its cohorts. Dr. Felton brought on the war with mingled abuse and derision of the Democratic party.. Will you sustain his utterances with your votes. We pause for the reply. The information reaches us that the negroes in Alabama are arranging to come over on election day to vote for Felton. We sound the warning to put our friends on guard. New Advertisements.

DABBS, Executor, Thomas Dabbs, deceased. 45 Years Before the Public. THE GENUINE DR. C. MeLANE’S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, FOR THE CURE OF Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. PAIN in the right side, under the edge of the ribs, increases on pres sure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appe tite and sickness; the bowels in gen eral are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of mem ory, accompanied with a painful sen sation of having left undone some thing which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensa tion of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exer cise would be beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the liver to have been extensively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in cases of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are productive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial. For all bilious derangements, and as > a simple purgative, they are unequaled. | BEWARE OF IMITATIONS. The genuine are never sugar coated. Every box has a red wax seal on the lid, with the impression Dr. McLane’s Liver PiI.LS. The genuine McLank's Liver Pills bear the signatures of C. McLane and FLEMING Bros, on the wrappers, Insist upon having the genuine Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, prepared by Flem ing Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the market being full of imitations of the name M.cJLftne, speUed differently but same pronunciation. , 7STE XV ADVERTISEMENTS- Positively Selling Out at Cost!
