ter county. They met in answer to a

Col. Hinton's Speech.
• After presenting the report of the
committee on constitution and by-laws,
Col. Ilinton, as chairman of the commit
tee, eloquently advocated its adoption
He said the time had come for the dem
ocracy of Georgia to come to the front
and assert the principles of the men who
had sacrificed their all on many a blood
stained field of battle. To the young
democracy of Georgia he appealed to
see to it that the grand old banner of
equal rights to all and special privi
leges to none was held aloft and carried
on to victory. We have fallen on strange
times, when a certain class aims to
dominate our land and swamp tho re
public in an insane attempt to subvert
the principles of Washington, Jeffarson
and Jackson. At no time in the history
of our country was it more necessary
than now for our young men to know
their power. Now was tho time for our
young men to remember that they are
tho buhvark of the nation. Let ft never
be forgotten that this is the llnal test of
democracy—the rule of the majority of
the people. When this grand republic
of ours sinks through anarchy or insani
ty, then farewell to the voice of tne peo
ple. Like the republic of Rome, we’ll
live only in name.
But there is a brighter future in store
for us if our young men will only real
ize that in them is the dependence of oar
people. There is a young and growing
element in our community that must he
taught the fundamental principles of our
form of government; and that is the bus
iness of the Young Men’s Democratic
Club of Sumter County—to teach the
growing youth of tho Empire State-of
the South the principles of true democ
racy, the only hope of this land of free
speech, tree men, and equality for all.
After Col. Hinton’s speech the consti
tution was adopted unanimously, and
the business of permanent organization
was taken up. This was quickly effected
by the election of Welborn F Clark,presi
dent; Arthur Uylander, first vice-presi
dent; E. J. Miller, second vice-president,
and W, K. Wheatley, secretary and
treasurer.
Mr. Clark accepted the presidency in
a few well chosen remarks, and Mr. W.
K. Wheatley and others made appro
priate remarks.

That “Tired Feeling.”
The newspapers are having a good
deal of fun nowadays over that “tired j
feeling,” so much spoken of in medical j
advertisements, in connection with the I
ill-health of females. It may be a source j
of hilarity to witty paragraphed, hut j
not so to suffering women, who, by over-!
work, and a disregard of the laws of j
health, have lapsed into a condition
bordering on invalidism. What most
women need is to he relieved of some of
the slavish work that is piled on them,
and a free, but judicious use of strength
ening tonics, such as P P. P. (Prickley
Ash, Poke Hoot and Potassium), the
greatest blood purifier aud invigorator
in use. Superb as a builder up of wo
men, bringing hack lost energy to the
body, and color to faded cheeks, restor
ing the appetite, and thus renewing in
lier that hearty vitality long lost. P. P.
I*, cures all blood diseases, such as
Rheumatism, Syphilis, Gout, Scrofula,
and all ulcerous affections, even van
quishing that melancholy enemy of man,
Dyspepsia. All druggists sell it.

Gallant Itufu* Choa e.
On a pretty girl saying to Rufus
Choate, “I am very sad-you-see,” he
replied, “O, no; you belong to tlie old
Jewish sect; you are very fair-I-see !”
Nothing adds so much to the beauty
of a fair girl, as a clear, bright, healthy
complexion, and to secure this pure
blood is indispensable. So many of the
so-called blood purifiers sold to improve
a rough, pimply, muddy skin, only drive
the scrofulous humors from the surface
to some internal vital organ, and disease
and death is the inevitable result. On
the contrary, Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medi-
cel Discovery strikes directly at the root
of the evil, by driving the impurities
entirely out of the system, and with a
fresh stream of pure blood flowing
through the veins, nothing hut the
softest and fairest of complexion can
result.
