aud M. J. McMillan, jury oonimission-
cis, wero engaged tho first of tho week

county.
Mr. Grayd<m reached home from
Nashville yesterday at noon and fur
nishes us witli valuable information
connected with tbo commissioners’
work together with tho lists of grand
and petit jurors drawn to serve at
the October term, 1892, of Borrien
superior court.
Thcro are 1697 voters in Berrien
oouuty, whose names appear on the
digest, and are distributed through
the districts of the county as follows:
Tifton, 103, Adel 138. Uiver Baud
78, Now River lOILUecil 89, Sparks
224, Lenox 79, BrWkflold 97, Alap-
aha 166, Connell’s Mill 81, Ray’s
Mill 107, Upper Tenth 126 and
Nashville 203. Of course this does
not show tho correct voting stiongth
of the county, os there are several
hundred whose mimes do not appear
ou the digest because of over-nge.
The census of 1890 gives Berrien
county a voting population of 2,200.
Six hundred names were taken
from the digest fof jurors, and these
were sub-divided into grand ami
traverse jurors according to the law
governing the revision of the jury
boxes of the state,

In the absence of President Ful-
wood the secretary, B. T. Allen,

The minutes of the previous meet
ing were rcud and adopted.

form, and we hall with pleasure the non.
iunlhma of Grover Cleveland and A. E,
Stevenson, believing as wu do that those
names are the earliest of pure, shin and
economical admlnlatratlou of our federal
government. w B believe tho duly of the
hour as well as patriotism calls upon all
of our citizens to put on the full armor
of democracy and go to tbo front to meet
all enemies of our party and principles
and thorn to fight for them until tho last
enemy Is vanquished and tho principles
of pure government firmly established.

A call was made for a report from
the democratic convention at Nash
ville on Monday. Hon. W. H. Love,
ex-chairman of the Tifton district
executive committee, esme torwurd
nnd made a report. He said that
the convention was most harmonious
—a political lovo feast—and he was
proud lie wus permitted to attend
the meeting. In the re-orgnuizutiou
of the comity executive committee
lion. 51. A. Sexton wns selected as
his euccossor, and lie was sure tho
new committeeman would prove
leader of whom the democrats of the
district would fool proud when tho
•moke of the campaign (hull have
passed away.
Hoti. M. A. Sexton was called for
and be came forward; among otlior
■things, he said that while lie lmd uc
copied the trust reposed iu him by
his fellow-democrats he was afraid
they had made a mistake. He
pledged himself to do the very best
he could, and begged tho earnest and
active co-operation of every member
of tho dull in the discharge of his
multifarious duties. lie then closed
by stating that tbo county executive
committee bad selected the 20th of
August as the day for holding the
primary for tho nomination of • can
didate for representative and slate
senator, and Ini trusted every dwuo-
orat iu tho district would do his full
duty. Ou that day^the registrar
would bo in Tifton for the purpose
of registering voters and he hoped
every democrat would see to "it that,
hit mutto ay-peara ou the hook.
. A. A,Her anJ W. W.
ty, democratic dub, were recognized
in the audience by, Mr. Sexton and
on hia motion they were invited to
address tho club. Both accepted and
ntodc sterling democratic speeches,
being frequently interrupted by rous
ing cheers. The latter is young man
in his teens, but his speech would
have been creditable to one much
older than he.
Two colored citizens, Robert Cope
land and Sum Saylor, wero culled on
and they made short talks avowing
their allegiance .to the democratic
party iu the present campaign. Both
inode intelligent and thoughtful
talks. Saylor said lie wus a negro,
not by choice but through the dis
pensation of an Allwise God. lie
couldn't help his birth and proposed
to make tho very best of his condi
tion; he proposed to know only a ne
gro’s place and conduct himself as a
negro gentleman. Ho had affiliated
with the republican party ever since
ho became of age, bnt be had learned
it was not tho thing for a southern
man, either white or black, to do.
He had learned that the negro’s in
terest wan identical with the south
ern white man and ho proposed
henceforward to assist the democrats
of the south iu maintaining those in
terests.
