There are always extremists in everything and the democratic party has no business engendering strife in select ing our candidates. While the most of j lus differ in a friendly way, there are j some who actually get half mad about I the matter. While speaking on this subjoct we would suggest that the man receiving the plurality of votes for each office be declared the nominee, for the reason that in every contest there is danger in offending power, and also i that in the seieotion of candidates no one should be allowed to vote bur deznoerate.

My health is such that I do not ;c it prudent to attempt the race. 4. There are other good, true and honest men wlTo will serye the interest of the county ably and conscientiously. I feel that it is the duty of all true and loyal citizens to accede to the demands of the people, but I hope the above rea sons given will satisfy my friends. That while I appreciate the confidence, yet prefer at this time not to be in the race for representative. While I would serye the people in any judiciary capacity, but do not want any political office. I think we need a man to represent us in the next general assembly -Who will repre sent the people as a whole, regardless of personal interests, oliques, or rings. One who is candid honest and intelli gent. One who understands the neces sities of the people, and has the firm ness and manhood to carry out the voice of the whole people. Thanking my friends and you for past favors, I am. Respectfully, M. V. McKibbkn. THAT RAILROAD. Pursuant to a call by Mr. W. F. Smith? who is in some way connected with the Floyilla & Indian Spring railroad, a mass meeting of the citizens of Jackson was held at the court house on Tuesday night of this week for the purpose of as certaining whether or not Jackson is willing to giye him the right to build a track from the depot up to the public square in this city, for the purpose of running a dummy line to and from Jock son to the Indian Spring via. the East Tennessee road, until next year, when another line of road will be built to con nect with the Indian Spring road at the old print>ng office, near the holiness camp ground, thus giving our town •through connection with Florida and Indian Spring. The meeting was organ ized by electing Judge Pound chairman and Mr. J. R. Carmichael secretary. Mr. Smith briefly stated the object of tbo meeting as set forth above,and after o remarks by the citizens it was de ’ t give Mr. Smith the privilege of * ing his line from the depot to the . ay route that might be the most ' to him, and a motion was r, I carried to appoint two citizens ■ ■"h ward to work in conjunction - council in endeavoring to secure aeut of property holders along i of route selected. It i: most ble that the i*oute selected will be i : -1 street, as it will require less grad o > come that way, aud will be nerer the residence portion of the eity. Mr. Smith says he intends to have the line completed sometime this month, and it is his desire to give the citizens of Jack sou a round trip fare to Indian Spring of only 30 cents. This venture will add materially to the interests of Jackson, aud our ctizens should extend every fa vor to Mr. Smith that will tend to help him in his enterprise. Hurrah for the Jackson and Indian Spring Railroad. IMPROVE THE TOWN. A man with one thousand dollars worth of property in Jackson could put one hundred dollars in a line to Indian Spring and one bundled dollars in a yarn factory. And then what ? Well, his thousand dollar property would, under the improved condition of things be worth two thousand dollars, and he would have an interest in a railroad and factory that would always stand at par. He would make a thousand dollars clear by the operation. Why don’t we do this? Echo answers why ? BUTTS COUNTY DEMOCRATC EX ECUTIVE COMMITTEE. Members of the Democratic Executive Committee of Butts county will meet at the court house in Jackson on Saturday May 12th at 10 o’clock a.ra. to elect per manent chairman and transact such oth er business as may be necessary. W. M. MALLET, Tem. Chmn. NOTICE. The stockholders of the Jackson Oil Mill Company will meet at the court house at Jackson on Tuesday, June sth, st ten o’clock in the forenoon, to receive the re port of last season’s business, and to elect a board of directors for the next ensuing year. A full attendence is requested. elo-4t Meade Hendrick, Pres. Mr. J. R. Williams and family, of Lo cust Grove, passed through Jackson this week enroute for Indian Spring. They slopped longenjugh to get some bar t the New York Store. Knowing AI V Liams business ability, we ven ? ask his opinion of Jackson. In , I e said: “Jackson has grown . idly of lare years, and to make s progress a certainty and one ii and boom on without cessation, ild build a cotton factory. It is a oi.liter of time when every enter , community will have its factory. I he nature of things every cotton c .1 y must have its cotton factory. This talk about skilled labor is all bosh. You couldn’t get the corner stone laid before you would have applicants for every position who could fill them prop erly. Dummies, oil mill* and tomato factories are good enough in their place, but the essential ard only prerequisite to become a leading town and saved from dull seasons, is to build a cotton fac tory.*’ 1 buy Ice by the car and can furnish you all you need, Gall on me at Mayo a Goggans’ store.

We should all hear the General. He is one of the few generals of the lost eause who is left to tell the tale. We should also remember that we are to hear a candidate for the nomination of governor, and if he should be nominated he would be our next gov ernor. Even the strongest Atkinson men have an abiding faith in General Evans. Domestic sewing machines for sale at Yellow Store by J. W. Crum. Old machines taken in exchange. Jackson has a good name abroad. We overheard two drummers conversing on the train some time ago and during the course of conversation one of them remarked that Jackson was one of the best towns of its size in the state soci ally, morally and from a business point of view. When such remarks as these remarks are current among the traveling fraternity, is it any wonder that our town continues to grow? We have opened a real estate agency at this office, and if you have any land to rent or houses to rent, or buy any property of any kind, we will advertise it for you on terms to suit you. Your name need not be known to any one. Bring along your property and we will treat you right about it. Harmon & McDonald. We call attention to the announce ment in this issue of Mr. J. A. McMi chael. “Reet” is too well known in this county to need any commendation from us. He was born and raised here, and since he was twenty-one years old he has been an ardent and enthnsiastic advocate of democratic principles. He is one of the true blue and our people should not be slow to acknowledge his fidelity and life service to his native county. Remember we are selecting a candidate, and not a representative, and that man who is a aound democrat and well qualified to lead should be the candidate. Mr. McMicbael has given a great deal of thought to the needs of the people, and being one of the people knows their needs. His known honesty and integrity commend him as a most worthy aspirant to the people of Butts for the office of Representative. OUR MR. R. L. DAUGHTRY. WHO FOR TEB SECOND TIME TBIS SEM! Is now in New York! Bargrins in Wool Dress goods. Bargains in Silk Dress Goods. Bargains in Wash Dress Goods. Bargains in Fans. Bargains in Parasols. Bargains in everr department of this mammoth establishment. The Pike County Journal says in a leading editorial; “We want leaders who are in sympa thy with us. Let us go to the west and south for our presidential material. Then if we win a victory it will amount to something. If we go down in defeat it will be for worthy principles, believ ing this we suggest the name of Adlai E. Stevenson of the west for president and Charles F. Crisp of the south for vice president. They represent the liv ing principles of southern and western democracy. Victory without these prin ciples is a cipher, with them it is the glorious culmination of our fondest hopes and the beginning of an era of honest, impartial government.” We second the nomination, and at the same time remember with regret, that that noble old man whose powerful abil ity for good is now being hampered and choked down by wall street influence. God help the United States to vindicate the wrong now being done to Mr. Stephenson. Leave your orders for fresh bread and cakes with Mr. Harp, rear of Crum’s store, his oven is now in operation. The Georgia State Sunday School As sociation will bold its Twenty-first an nual Convention at Atlanty, Ga., Tues day, Wednesday, and Thursday, May 29th, 30th, and 31st, 1894, the opening session being held at 7:30 o’clock on the 29th. The Convention will meet in the First Methodist church, located at the junct ion of Peachtree and Pryor streets. The Constitution of the Assembly says: “An Assembly shall be composed of one delegate from every three hundred members of Sunday Schools composing the county association and the counties where no association exists, two dele gates for every representative to which the county is entitled in the general as sembly of the state. In counties where no association exists the delegates will be appointed by the snperintendant and secretary of the district in which the counties are located. The officers of the association, including all the district superintendents and secretaries, will be expected to attend as members of the Convention.” From the above clause of the constitu tion it will be seen that the counties are expected to act intelligently, and send as many delegates as they are entitled to and no more. Let Butts do her part. Last week we stated that the Star Store had broke the record by sending their buyer to New York twice in one season. It is true they are the only house that have eyer done suoh a thing in Jackson, but it was done laat year by \ the same firm, and ibis is the secend time this season that Mr. Daughtry has been compelled to go forth and select new goods for the constantly increasing patronage the Star Store is now enjoy ing. They have an immense trad# and it requires constant purchases of large stocks to keep their store up to its pres ent high standard of excellence. They appreciate your patronage and show it by handling only the best of goods at living prices. vvvv i The political pot is “bilin’” now. How do you like to set out “tater” slips? Don't dirt get in your shoes when it is dry like this? “Me too” will speak in Jackson on Saturday next. . No remedy for lung troubles has ever had such popularity as Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral.

Laurence Crawford. , Men who have bargains for the people are just as sure to advertise those bar gains as a man is to tell his friends “good morning” when he is a candidate. The thing is perfectly natural. A man can’t keep from telling a good thing that he knows, and a merchant cannot keep from advertising his bargains, if he knows he has them. Watch the ad vertisements. They represent the lead ing concerns of every town. Insomnia is fearfully on the in crease. The rush aud excitement of modern life so tax the nervous system that multitudes of people arc deprived of good and sufficient sleep, with ruinous consequences to th o nerves. Remember Ayers Sarsaparilla makes the weak strong.
