Are we be¬ ing sneaked upon l>y our neighbors trying to undermine Taliaferro and lake from her the honors she deserves? It don’t set in that our neighbors would do such a trick. Why not call a meeting, or even havo a primary election oi white Democrats all over the district and determine whether or wot the people of each county prefer tlie rotation system or the putting out of candidates with the bridles off be¬ fore the convention. We don’t believe there is such un¬ derhanded work going on In our dis¬ trict. Taliaferro lias good materia) for the office and we will have the next Senator to the Georgia legislature from the glorious old lfith, don’t bo buthered about it.

St. c C'ai'JUA, Ala F«b ietv THE DEMOCRAT, ClUWFORDVILLE, GEORGIA NATIONAL capital. Washington, D. C. Feb. 17. Mr. Weed’s puppets, the republican members of the House, have humbly obeyed their master* order’s and the new Rules have been adopted by the House. The democrats made many protests against being roblied of their rights but their arguments did not cause a single republican to vote against the edict of the boss—nobody supposed they woull. Now that bars are down and that Congress practical, ly consists of Speaker Weed and the Senate there is great rejoicing among that thirfty class of people who thrive on extravagant government approptia tions, and if one may judge from the number of schemes now before Con¬ gress calling for large amounts of mon¬ ey which seem to have the endorse¬ ment of leading republicans, they have reason for rejoicing. If only one fourth of the rnohey asked for should be voted by Congress, the Treasury would be empty. The country may safely count on the Democrats of the House to keep it posted on what is go¬ ing on if they cannot check the pro posed extravagance. Senator Blair spoke four days on his educational bill last week. The opponents of this measure in the Sen¬ ate have been working very quietly to defeat it, and now they are confident¬ ly claiming that a majority of the Sen¬ ators are pledged to vote against it. In spite of this claim the general im¬ pression is that the bill will pass. The hearings in the Ohio ballot-box forgeries investigation, which were used by Ohio republicans to get even with each other on old scores, have been closed, all witnesses discharged and the committee adjourned subject to the call of its chairman. The last hearing was highly sensational. Fora ker called Grosvenor a liar, and Wood stated that tho forged document was prepared by Forakor, Hadden and himself. Wood has been detectod in a good many lies, but there are lots cf folks who believe he was wretty near the truth iu the last statement. Hows this for paternal government? Bills have boon introbuced by republi¬ cans in both Houses to prohibit any changes being made in the boundaries of any Congressional district until af¬ ter Congress shall have made the ap¬ portionment of Representation on the returns of tho census to be taken this year. If Congress, or a majority there o f, can make such a law there is no limit to what It may not do. Representative Grimes, of Georgia, left a Washington hotel because a negro was seated at the same table with him. Dublin opinion here as Mr. Ur dsnOntfy^ did rlgtit * TOdnl’s t aulhor IZillH Postmaster General to erect puat-oiu<L jo tidings in all towiw where the gro-is receipts exceed #3,000 a year is warmly approved by Mr. VVanamak er. .Senator Moody has introduced a bill providing for the erection of a yost oilice buildinj in all towns of 1.000 population. Senator Fierce has introduced a bill for an agricultural commission to in¬ vestigate the causes for the present unsatisfoctory condition of the agri¬ cultural intersta. The Post-master General wants a postal telegraph system, embracing those cities having the free delivery system, to be established at once. He made a long argument in its favor before the House committee ou Post-offices this week. He believesit would be a great covenieuce and that it would lie self-sustaining. A nother big republican editor has been provided for by the administra¬ tion. Charles Emory Smith, editor of the Philadelphia Press goes to Russia as minister. The Presidential proclamation open¬ ing the Sioux reservations in South Dakota to settlemnet, has bee n sent out from the White House. The democratic leaders in the House are now patiently waitng to ascertain just what programme the republicans propose adopting now that they have everything their own way in that body.

Yes the whole town of Sharon and comrnuuity was arrested last Monday and business entirely suspended. Early In the morning United States Marshal Corbett and four or five de¬ puty marshals let down upon the quiet little town. It was a most outrageous sight to see these officers inarch through the town armed to their teeth, carrying Winchester rides, like they were hunting down out-laws. The citizens, about 21 of whom they held warrants for the arrest of, were ready, will and waiting to give them¬ selves up as they felt that there was no trouble ah ead. John O’Keefe was the first man they tackled and after a few words and the the marshal producing the warrant, John told him he was willing to go with him after he got through loading some freight which be had to get off. Arrests were made until the fol¬ lowing geutlernen were prisoners: J. T. Wright, Riytown; G. N. Wright, Raytowu; L. L. Wright Sha¬ ron; O. D. Moore, farmer in Taliaferro county, raises 600 bales of cotton; J. J. Moore farmer Raytown; J, P, Moore, farmer and Millerj.Dr.L. R. Brown, physician and druggist; J. A. Kendrick, merchant Sharon; It: T. Kendrick, farmer; W. B. Kendrick, town marshal of Sharon; John O’Keere, partner in firm of Croake A Co., and acting agent and postmaster for old man Croake, who has been postmaster for 20 years; II. F. Carry, fanner in the county; Dr. J. W. Bar¬ nett, physiciau of Raytown; J. A. Woodall, farmer, Raytown; F. F. Darden, farmer in the county; W. T. flynt, county so nil onmis sioner and secretary of the county farmers Alliance; S. J. Flnyt, of Ray¬ town, member of the Legislature. On the late evening train Monday this body of men, accompanied by a dozen or two of their friends, left for Augusta to stand an examination tri¬ al. The good ladies of the section <&c orated the lapels of each of the prison¬ er’s coats with bauqnets of sweet stocked (lowers. their Corbett rides and and his put deputi then jjNun ■ay while the crowd boarded the trsl the host of humor and in high s,iif ■, At Barnett the party wore m< r a ni"ober*< '.(iei r ' ' for the ptasonersand W. O. Mitcbefl, assistant. Col- W. II. Fleming |of Augusta is also asdstant in the case. Arriviug in Augusta tho party went to Henson’s restaurant and took supper and from there to the Arling¬ ton Hotel for the night. The following are the witnesses: E. L. Duckworth, Mrs. Mattie Per¬ kins, Geo. Mitchell, J. O. Brooke, G. T.'Wilson and throe negroes. Tuesday morulug the case was call¬ ed before U. S. Commissioner Iryin Alexander. The commissioner is about twenty three years old. United States Mar¬ shal Corbett is twenty-four; Mr. Hor¬ ace Holden is about the same age. and his associte, Hon. W. II. Fleming, and United States District Attorney Marion Erwin, the oldest men In the case were classmates in college, and are both less than thirty-five; so that it is quite a youthful array through¬ out. The affidavit alleges that these men and divers others unknown, did con¬ spire and agree together to prevent E. L. Duckworth from accepting and holding the office of post-master at Sharon; that they attempted, by in¬ timidation, to make him leave Sharon; that they conspired to injure his prop¬ erty; that they placed a miniature coffin at his doo>, with these words: “Radicals must die. White Caps.” That a committee of ten waited on him to intimidate bin into signing s paper resign! ng the postoffice; that a committee of three waited on him to induce him to renounce all claims to the postoffice; that on the third day of February they burned him in effigy, and fired off weapons in front of his store; that that night they draped his store in mourning, and wrote: “It is ordered that you Edw. L. Duckworth, vacate this town quick. Business is meant. We can’t tolerate such a liar. REGCTLArOItS.” Further that two clerks io Duck worth’s employ were ordered to leave there immediately. These thiugs, it is charged, were done in a conspiracy to prevent Duckworth from perfomiqg the duties of the office to which he was appointed, and were in violaion of the statute. When the case was brought up pro i>er, District Attorney Erwin said be was ready \ except some important wit nesses and Cols. Holden „ ,, and . _ Fleming seeing that it would require several to examine the whole case con— sented to waive examination of the p iaoners and make bonds for them a t $600 each. This was done and the prisoners returned home to their busi¬ nesses. The univerfal openior. of the people is that this outrage upon these people is a put-up job for political affect, and that now they have raised as much fuss about it as they waut and that this w.ll be the last of it. The examination of witnesses was concluded Wednesday morning and the evidence sent to the authorities at Washington. The Augusta News says they made out a pretty sti ong case against the defendants. WHAT IS SCROFULA It Is that Impurity in the blood, which, ac¬ cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro¬ duces unsightly lumps or swellings; which causes painful running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which developcs ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or deafness; which Is the origin of pimples, can¬ cerous growths, or the many other manifesta¬ tions usually ascribed to ‘'humors;” which, fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption and death. Being the most ancient, it Is the most general of all diseases or affections, for very few persons are entirely free from it. How It Be Can CURED By taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which, by the remarkable cures it has accomplished, often when other medicines have failed, has proven itself to be a potent and peculiar medicine for this disease. Some of these cures are really wonderful. If you suffer from scrofula, be sure to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. «Every spring my wife and children have been troubled with scrofula, sores breaking out on them in various places. My little boy, three years old, has been a terrible sufferer. Last spring he was one mass of sores from head to feet. I was advised to use Ilood’s .Sarsapa¬ rilla, and we have all taken it. The result la that all have been cured of tho scrofula, my little boy being entirely free from sores, and all four of my children look bright and healthy.” W. B. ATHEBTOk, Passaic City, N. J.
