“It is Taliafero’s time to name the
senator from the nineteenth. It is
rumored that a combination is form¬
ing in Greene and Warien to break
dowu the rotation system and that
there is fun ahead.—Atlanta Journal.
1st tie above correct? 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. In due time the
naiiH-j of men will be mentioned
and the good people of the district will
stick to our umn, because he will be
efficieiu . and , , because we deserve . and .
are justlv entitled to a chauoe at the

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.

Senator Fierce has introduced a bill

unsatisfoctory condition of the agri¬

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.

everything their own way in that
body.

SHARON OUTRAGE
BEST CITIZENS ARRESTED
The Republicans Vf akin? Politi¬
cal Pie at the Expense of Seme
Taliaferro People.
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.
