AFTER 11 YEARS
Walter and John Williams are
Brought to Justice.
The Murderers of poor old Mrs. Brockett
are at last to meet the ends
of Justice.
For some weeks our over vigi
lant and faithful Sheriff has had hi;
eye upon John and Walter Wil
liams, who were living near Arkan
sas City, Ark., but before making
an effort to effect their capture he
armed himself with requisition pa
pers upon the Governor of Arkan
sas. and obtained a warrant there
from for their arrest for the mur
der of an old lady, Mrs. Brockett,
in this county in 1891. With these
in his pocket, one day last w r eek he
quietly left home, telling no one
anything of his object. Yesterday
the following telegram was re'
ceived by Deputy Long :
Arkansas City, Ark., Sept 7.
I have John Williams—Walter
will be in my charge to-day. Leave
for home this evening. Be home
Saturday. L. F. Patterson",
John Williams, it will be remem
bered, was convicted of murder and
sentenced to the penitentiary for
life, hut before his removal there
he and his brother escaped from
jail and skipped the country, and
have never been seen since.
Walter will be to try, but John
will be turned over to the peniten
tiary authorities at once, to begin
a sentence that must end only with
his life.
Great credit is due Sheriff Pat
terson for the capturo of these
men, as well as for that of dozens
and scores of others of every grade
of offense.
For Representative!!.
The returns for the County Demo
cratic Primary were consolidated
on Thursday last, with the follow
ing result:
FOR REPRESENT ATI VES.
Dr. G. M. Jones,
Mr. George W. Kendrick,
Mr. Wilson,
Mr. H. M. Emanuel,
Mr. Drew Roberts,
Other gentlemen received a con
siderable complimentary vote hut
not being candidates we make no
note of the same. Dr. Jones and
Mr. Kendrick having received the
largest number of votes cast, they
were declared the nominees of the
party in the present campaign.
Both gentlemen being in the
city were called upon by the Con
vention and they both responded
in appropriate remarks, and have
already begun the work of canvass
ing the county.
The condition of Dr. Jones family
is such that he cannot begin his
canvas yet, but he intends to visit
every section of the county and
talk to the people face to face be
fore the election.
Both gentlemen aro staunch citi
zens and true Democrats, and they
have never been found wanting
when any question of principle or
of true honor was at stake, but have
made for themselves records which
would he creditable to any citizen
or patriot.
They will represent the true in
terests of the people who will elect
them, in the next legislature with
honor to themselves and to the
party which elects them.
“The Globe” Sells Out.
The Third Party leaders have
bought out The Globe of this city,
the trade being closed and delivery
of the plant made cn Monday last.
It is given out by himself that Mr.
Townsend will continue to exercise
supervisory connection with the
paper, while Mr. C. H. Thomas of
Fowlstown will be Editor-in-chief
with his residence at Fowlstown,
as heretofore.
The Democrat welcomes Bro.,
Thomas to the guild, and “offers
him the right hand of fellowship,
and the olive branch of peace,” to
gether with the pledge that he will
ever find in us a willing coadjutor,
in all undertaking looking to the
developement of our section, and
the dissemination of correct and
proper principles, as promulgated
by the best authority—using only
such means as appeal to the higher
and nobler feelings of man—viz:
truth, reason, principle and patriot
ism.
Any lower standard is not true
journalism, and the man engaging
in it on a lower plane is unfit for
the position he assumes and devoid
of those instincts and impulses
which ennoble human nature and
elevate the race.
It is upon this plane that we
welcome Bro., Thomas, promising
him, in advance, that he shall never
descend below this if he bears us
company in the profession.

The Third Party- Convention.
Convened here last Saturday to
nominate their candidates for the
legislature and for the various
county offices, meeting soon after
10 o’clock a. m, and remaining in
caucus several hours, before tl
permanent organization of the con
vention, which was finally done by
the election of the late Hon. W. E,
Smith as Chairman, and W. B. Mc
Daniel Secretary.
After permanent organization
the question of what rule should
govern the convention in the selec
tion of candidates arose. Boss
Mobley taking the floor in favor of
the Two-thirds, and E. M. Thomas,
C. H. Thomas and others speaking
for the Majority rule.
The Two-thirds rule was voted
down and the majority rule
adopted.
The Chair gave notice that after
consultation it had been decided to
defer the nomination of their Coun
ty officers ticket till after the Octo
ber elections—by which means
they doubtless hope to hold silent
any open public expression of all
weak kneed aspirants and their
friends, but we shall see.
Nominations being in order, the
name of Mr. \V. B. King, of Don-
alsonville, was placed in nomina
tion—after which there appeared
to be a hitch in the gear some
where, and the delegates from Ihe
East side of the river asked for five
minutes to determine xvho they
would put up. Granted.
In five minutes they returned
and the name of Mr. George P
Wood of Attapulgus, was put in’
nomination, when he and Mr. King
were nominated by acclamation.
After giving vent to a lot of foul
gas, and viscid bile against the
party which gave him all the
honors and recognition which he
has ever had or been the benefici
ary of, and whose commission he
still holds in his pocket, and which
he should have returned to the
keeping of those whose votes gave
it into his keeping before smirching
it by desertion, Chairman “Bud”
Smith worked himself into a lather
ing perspiration of frenzy and
fury.
He took occasion to deny for Mr,
G. P. Wood, the report, (and as such
mentioned) in the last issue of The
Democrat to the effect that he,
(Wood) had been promised the
Senatorship in consideration of his
quitting the democratic stand
ard. No one is gladder to have
this report contradicted than we,
for we were very loth to class Mr.
Wood among those who are any
thing less than a gentleman and a
patriot. But whereas, at the open
ing of this campaign, a lexv weeks
ago, Mr. Wood bore a commission
from the Democrats of Decatur
county as a member of the County
Executive Committee, we do him
the honor to say, that he surren
dered it to those who gave it him,
before he placed a blot upon it by
quitting its standard.
With all this, Mr. Wood is now
in the Third Party, one of its ac
credited standard bearers, for the
high and honorable position of
Representative in the State Legis
lature. The truth of history varies
from the report alluded to, in two
particulars: Mr. Wood was not
promised the position in the Sen
ate, but has received the nomina
tion of the Third Party, for the
Lower house.
Again, Decatur county, under the
rotation idea, had no right, in this
campaign to present any one of its
citizens, for the Senate, but Mitch
ell county had, and she did, in the
person of Mr. Chas. W. Collins—
and he was accorded that honor,
under the rotation theory—there
fore Mr. Wood could not have been
given the Senatorship if it had been
promised without running rough
shod over the recognized rights
of both Mitchell and Miller coun
ties.
Boss Jackson, having come into
the Convention at a late hour, was
called out, after he was “not
ashamed,” and this time his eagle
“eye had not sought the ceiling.”
In other words he seemed to glory
in the very shame which he revels
in—viz: the retention of a demo
cratic commission in a Third Party
pocket over a Third Party heart—
over the unlawful drawing of $50.00
per month from the County Treas
ury of a Democratic county of
democratic tax payers, for allegel
services, not to the county as a
Commisioner of its Roads and re
venues, but to the Third Party
cause, and to the advancement of
its tenets, and so-called principles.
In other words, and more clearly,
Mr. Jackson abstracts from the
county Treasury $50.00 for himself
every month, for alleged service as
Commissioner, and clerk of tho
Board, when the law expressly and
clearly allows the compensation of
commissioners to be but $2.00 per
day for the time actually and en
tirely devoted to the work. And
Mr. Jacksons time, as every body
knows has been devoted to trying
to get himself endorsed for Con
gressman, first at Thomasville, last
January, later at Cuthbert in April
later yet at Albany and latest of all
in the Third Party; and then to
knifing the Hon. O. B. Stevens
while his back was turned, in the
Democratic- Primary—by riding all
over this county counseling and ad
vising alliance democrats not to
participate in the Democratic Prim
ary but go with him into the
Third Party!
We make no attack upon the
private character of either of these
men but we do attack their public
acts while in public position, in the
light of truth and history; and we
do so with painful regret, and only
from a sense cf duty to ourselves
and our position as a faithiul
journalist. The truth and justice
>»f our position can he demonstrated
by the records and these gentle
mens own tracks, and acts. They
claim great sincerity and purity of
motive for themselves, we know
but their acts disprove this claim
and brand them as renegades from
the democratic fold, because they
could not use it. The convention
adjourned with a yell of triumph
ant defiance at about 3 o’clock sub
ject to the call of the Chair.

Miller-* .Nominee*.
Editors Democrat:
Miller county held her Primary
election on last Saturday and nomi
nated a Representative and all the
county officers, after a three day
notice of the same—the mass meet
ing which elected the new Execu
tive Committee which ordered the
Primary, meeting on Tuesday be
fore the Primary on Saturday—
thus giving aspirants only three
full days in which to canvas the
county. While xve of this county
have no idea that the Executive
Committee intended to take ad
vantage of any gentleman xvho as
pired to run in the Primary, we do
think that they should have given
candidates time in xvhich to make
a satisfactory canvas of the county,
Again, it is reported that avowed
Third Party men and negroes were
allowed to vote for tho men of their
choice in this Democratic Primary
without challenge or hindrance. If
this be true it was wrong, and any
entleman who is not content with
the result, will have some cause to
refuse to abide the action of the
Primary, and run independent of
the Primary’s action.
Following is the result of the
Primary:
For Representative, J. A. Bush.
For Clerk Superior Court, W. B
Roberts.
For Sheriff, John M. Wilson.
Tax Receiver, Z. Cheser.
County Treasurer, M. J. Kirkland.

A Serious Difficulty.
Occurred near Brinson in this
county on Sunday last, between
Mr. J. W. Sharber and Mr. Jacobs
in which the latter came near losing
his life. It appears that Jacobs
was at Sharber’s house and while
there they quarrelled and Jacobs
struck Sharber over the head with
a bottle of spirits turpentine and
beat him up severely. Thereupon,
it appears, that Sharbers wife ran
into the house and fetching a Win
chester rifle gave it to her husband
to defend himself with. Seeing
this Jacobs, it is reported, ran
Sharber firing at him twice as he
ran off, both bullets taking effect.

Sir.—I made use of your Phllotoken
with my last child, in order to procure
a safe and easy travail. I used it about
two months before my expected time,
until I was taken sick, and I had a very
quick and easy confinement. Nothing
occured to protract my convalescence,
and I got about in less time '.ban was
usual for me. I think it a medicine
that should lie used by everv expectant
mother, for should they but trv it as I
have, they would never again'be with
out it at snch times. I am yours re
spectfully,
Mrs 1 Elizabeth Dix.

ONE WORD!
I come to you with a small of
fair that you may need. In Eng
land, the Continent and maD
foreign counties, m3'Belf and wares
are well known. Many American
families on their return from abroad
bring my articles with them, for
they know them preLly well, but
you may not beone of these.
Confidence between man and
man is slow of growth, and when
I ask your confidence and maka a
reference to this Jourual to indorse
that confidence. I do not think it
will be misplaced.
I make the best form of a cure—
an absolute one—for biliousness
and headache that can be found in
this year of 1892. The cure is so
small in itself, and yet its c mfort
to you is so grea'— 20 minutes Lq-
ing its limit when reliet comes—
that it has become the rnarve 1 of
its time. One and a hall grains of
medicine, coaled wifh sugar, is my
remedy, in the shape of one small
pill, known to commerce as DR
H AY DOCK’S NEW LIVElt PILL
It is old in the markets of Eurr pe,
but is new to North American.
The price is as low as au honest
medicine can be sold at, 25 cents,
Send a postal card tor a sample
vial, to try them, before yon pur
chase.
