Dr. W.D.Jenkins,Rock Spring,]
My Dear Sir:
For the very kind and cordial
invitation contained in your es
teemed favor of 9th, iust, to ad
dress the citizens of your county,
at your town, on the loth iust. (
you will please accept my sin
cere thanks. If I know my own
heart, there is uo section of my
District, aud uo portion of my
constituency,to which I feel more
closely allied, or more gratefully
indebted than to the county of
Walker; and I always feel compli
mented, when permitted to speak
there. Gladly would I accept
your invitation, if my duties to
: ward my constituents would per
j rait. On to morrow, the 13th, by
'special arrangement, tho silver
j bill will again be taken up, and
i discussed for two days. We will
I do our best to bring it to a di
! rect vote, and in that movement,
Jwe have not a man to lose. It is
more important that I should look
after the interests of my oon
j stituents here, than that I should
be fostering my own interests at
home. In the former case the
welfare of 180,000 confiding con
stituents is at stakejr-in tho lat
ter, the personal preferment of a
| single individual. Can I, as a
faithful and an honest represen
tative,hesitate for one moment in
! deciding what is my duty in the
premises? Upon every stump
throughout my district, I pledged
to the service of the people my
time, my talents and my best en
deavors. Have those pledges
| been redeemed? Bet the reeord
speak. Since the first of Janua
ry, I have missed uo meeting of
the ill. It., or of the Com; nor have
1 "dodged” a single vote. No re
quest from a constituent has been
disregarded, and no letter, how
ever unimportant, lias gone unan
swered. No pledge has been
broken and no contract violated.
For the manner in which 1 have
discharged my duties, I have no
apologies to make and no pardons
i to ask, and with God’s help, I in
tend at tho close of my term of
service, to surrender my commis
sion into the hands of those who
so kindly gave it, with a con
science “void of offense toward
God, or my follow man,” Inas
much as it has been the unbroken
custom for more than a quarter of
a century, to endorse each M. ().,
from the 7th District, by a re-elec
turn, I know of only two causes
that would justify a change of
that line of policy so long contin
ued, to wit: Incompetence, or
disloyalty. If either or both these
charges are prefeired and sus
tained, 1 neither desire nor de
serve endorsement.
In the absence of the above
named legitimate causes for com
plaint, 1 must consider any at
tempted infraction of this custom
us an utiuek upon my avocation,
or an attempt to satisfy inexcusa
ble ambition.
I stand to-day, just where I
stood two years ago, when Walk
er county placed me under ever
lasting obligations by her over
whelming endorsemaut of my
candidacy.
Should your grand county,in
its sovereign capacity, decide to
endorse my course, such action
j will bring me under renewed ob
ligation, which will be discharg
ed, in part, by working, to the
extent of my capacity,for the best
interest of the country.
If the people of your county
really desire my return, there can
be no trouble in so expressing
themselves, if they only partici
pate in the primaries, or conven
tion oidered to make a selec
tion.
If the masses refuse to take
part in the selection of candidates
then they have no right to plead
dissatisfaction, It is of primary
importance, that the whole peo
ple take part in the selection of a
candidate.
Do me the great kindness tore- j
member me to the good people of
your county, and assure them,
that 1 will surely address them,at
the very first opportunity, but
cau't consistently leave hero
now.
Fraternally Yours,
R. W. Everett.
After an address by Capt. John
Y. Wood, the balloting under the
resolution began aud resulted as
follows:
Hon. Jolm W. Maddox receiv
ed 80 votes. Hou. R. W. Everett
received 35 votes. There being
no other business before the bouse

Deafness Cannot l>e Cured
!by local applications,as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one way
to cure Deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this
j tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflamation can be ta
ken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing wi'l
be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous sufaces.
Wo will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness
(caused by catarrh) that eauuot
be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.
