As the next session of the Su perior court will soon be here, and as candidates for the different county offices will begin to make announcements about then, it is not an inopportune time to have something to say about the next Democratic primary. We are in favor of a white Dem ocratic primary. The negroes of this county have never sought office for any of their race; and, therefore, are not interested in a contest among the whites as to who shall be the respective candi dates in the Democratic party. There are some who favor a white primary, leaving the word Democratic out, and allowing every white voter in the county the right to participate in the election. The main objection to this plan is that, if the Populists should put into this kind of a race only one candidate for each office, their candidates would have a go< d chance of election, as the Democrats are sure to have more than one applicant for each office. We do not mean to infer that the Democrats are more anxious to get office than the Populists, but that the Populists could have s mass meeting here at the court heuse and pot oat their candidatus. as thev have j always aominuned them hereto-! fore, and have an advantage over the Democrats. In a white Democratic primary, the opportunities will be greatly lessened for purchasing votes, using liquor, and practicing de ception, and the people of this county are entitled to demand some reforms along these lines. A saloon is bad. A candidate, that buys votes aud uses liquor in elections, is much more dangerous, because be is held in high esteem by many as being a great politi cian. The purchasing of votes and the use of liquor in the Dem ocratic primary two years ago, is still the talk of the people all over this county, and, if the same things are to be repeated again this year, there will be a still greater dissatisfaction. Let the Executive Committee of the Demoratic party declare that any candidate, who ehall use money or liquor in the next Dem ocratic primary, and the same can be satisfactorily proven to the Committee.sball become ineligible as a nominee of the Democratic party, and that the person re ceiving the next highest vote shall become the nominee in his stead. There are many poor people in the county who would like to offer themselves for office, but as long as money and liquor are used, only those who have money to spend will hold the offices. Of course, there are many good men in politics in this county that never use liquor or money, but we want the time to come when every candidate will be a good, pure man. We have talked with quite a number of the probable candidates in the next primary, and they all favor these reforms. . That these changes would be - proper and right cannot be de nied, and we urge upon every member of thiExecutive Commit tee to stand by what he conceives to be the right, regardless of whose interest it may favor or injure. Alexander Stephens said that he feared nothing on earth nor above earth except to do wrong. Col. Shackelford Withdraws From the Solicitor’s Race. Col. Thos. J. Shackelford will not b« a candidate for Solicitor General of the Western circuit against Col. C. H. Brand, and the latter now has a clear field, and no doubt will be unanimously re elected. Col. Shackelford came to this conclusion after consulting many of his warm friends in He having been reared in thi* county, desired the unani mous support of the people here, but after investigation found that a great mapy men had pledged themselves to support Col. Brand, as h» has made a most excellent officer, and the people think his record should be endorsed. Col. Shackelford could not afford to enter the contest and make a hard fight to carry his native county. Many kind and complimentary things have been said to and of Col. Shackelford, not only by the people of Jackson, but all over the circuit, and he has a bright future before him. —Jackson Her aid, v it intrd—Hubhi mss or womsd to tsxsel W A e,T?.%. l.rr K* monthlr .Hi •xaeaws, with ineresw.

In giving this mention of a trip to the National C»pit"!, I dose re alizing that such is not met with the same approbation as a few years ago. Inventions aud gener al improvements have been so nu merous for the past few years that the world at large seems to have put on a neighborly feeling. Ten years ago the average man would speak of a crip to Washington as we dow speak of a visit to Paris. Since Oeorgia has grown into a conversational distance with Ne» York, and since distances are cov ered in a day that but a few years past required weeks, we don’t seem away from home anywhere. Having such a short stay in the great city one can hardly be ex pected to give an account of the sights such as would be of interest to one who has bad occasion to ob serve them more closely. To see those beautiful structuies it takes but a few hours of the courtesies of the Seaboard Air Line and you are there. A more desira ble trip can hardly be imagined than tbe Seaboard to Norfolk, thence by steam to Washington. The most hooie-like feeling during our trip was t<> hear the Seaboard train called out as she pushed hack under the shed preparatory to leaving for Atlanta. That this great system is fast becomiug the trunk line of the South, you have only to notice her almost daily new-made connections On reaching Washington you are at once impressed with the decency of the place, which is greatly en hanced by the broad and cleanly kept streets, as well as side walks. Possibly the greatest structure to be seen there is the National Library of Congress. To speak of it as a Library of Congress, can mean nothing more than a pleas ant remembrance of Congress, for it is a library of the entire Ameri can people, serving the entire na tion. The greatness of the build ing can be best appreciated from the amount of material used in its construction : 409,000 cubic feet of granite, 500,000 enameled brick, 22,000,000 rod brick, 8,800 tons of steel slid iron and 78,000 barrels of cement. Exclusive of the cel lar, the total floor space is 826,195 square feet, or nearly eight acres. There are near 25,000 windows in the building, the entire cost aggre gating near $6,860,000. To speak briefly of tbe grandeur of this won derful structure is to say that tbe greatest of human skill is display ed throughout. The interior dec orations are snpberb, and quite natural, my wife preferred spend ing all the time possible viewing the lovely paintings, The next of Uncle Sam’s affairs might properly be classed as the Engraving building. Here yon see the beginning of money making. The accuracy of the procedure is nothing less than the result of im provement for many years. The notes pass 52 hands, carefully counted each time. They are fin ished here, save what is called the finishing stamp, which is put on at the Treasury building. We had the opportunity of seeing one $6,- 000,000 package. The Treasury building is by no means a small structure when cash is at stake. 152,000,000 silver dol lars in first and second vaults, gold coin 3,055,000, total weight of coin 5,000 tons. Silver vault, 89 feet long, 51 feet, wide and 12 feet high. Here you see the maceration of old hills, which become as new col ored saw dust in appearance and is used in making souvenirs. Tho Capitol, Executive Mansion, Washington Monument. War and Navy Departments, Patent Office, Pension Bureau, Post Office De partment and Agricultural Build ing are just as yon would expect. We had the pleasure of sseing Congress aud the Senate in ses sion. The trip to Mt. Vernon (Wash ton’s home) was very pleasant. Many war relics are there to bear testimony to his life as a war gen eral. His favorite sword is hand somely cased on the wall of the room where he died. His old war trunk lies on the floor, shaped somewhat like a pillow, and no doubt has been often used by him as such. lu the Library Building you see a large sized painting showing him on his knees at pray er before the battle at Valley Forge. His clothing can be seen at the National Museum; also Lincoln’s suit that he wore the night he was shot. Lee’s house presents a lovely •oene from Washington’s monu ment. The great old General’* tenderness of heart is best shown 'by the luxuries provided for his family at home. Columns could be filled with the many sights in and around Wash ington. Yet you can’t appreciate it except to see it. To speak further of the great General you might mention the great monument dedicated to his memory. It i* feet in height, and takes 16 minutes to go by eis- “Keep to Your Plxce and Your Place ’will Keep You.' ’ Without good health toe cannot keep situations nor enjoy Uft. Most troubles originate in impure blood. Hood’s Sarsa parilla makes the blood rich and pure, and thus promotes good health, tuhich toil! help you "keep your place.'’ ZfccdS SaUafHili'ffq vator to the top. As suggested by Jim Gouge, there might be some who could appropriately sing “Nearer my God, to Thee” while looking from the top. I would consider this letter wholly incomplete were I not to mention tha courtesies shown us by Congressmsn Tate while there He met us at the boat, and was specially kind to us during our en tire stay. This was my first op portunity to know Mr. Tate as he really is, and the best description of his nobleness is that his friends get the best at bis bands on all occasions. Mr, Tate’s ability can be best appreciated to know of the recognition he receives from his fellow Representatives During our stay there he filed a most im portant report directing the ex penditures of a large sum of mon ey for the Navy Department, and it was passed without one ques tion. Seemingly for him to vouch for its correctness was due satis faction for all concerned. I was very much amused to find that he remembers even the Christian names of so inauy people in this section,and almost came to the con elusion that he had lived as a neighbor to most people in this oounty. J. A. Perry. HAOON ASKS rOH PRIMARY. Washington, D. C., Feb. 12, — Senator A. 0.

We agree with the Midway cor respondent iri regard to cotton. He has given the farmers some good advice, which we hope they will take, for it is plain that the scarcity of cotton was the only cause of the advance in prices last year.

Our school continues to increase; we have had several additions each week. On account of the inclement weather there have been a few ab sent for the past week The at tendance has been more regular than usual during the winter months. We have over a hundred in at tendance, and there are many yet to come in, both from town and the couutry schoolg frem which we always receive many additions. We are certainly very much pleased with our uew Principal. He is a fine teacher in every sense of the word. He is not only thorough himself but insists that bis pupils shall be ao. He pot-us es, in an unusual degree, the rare faculty so necessary m the g. od teucher, of arousing the interest of his classes in their work. Under his instructions study becomes a pleasure instead of a monotonous duty. He makes the study of Ger man, usually so difficult, a pb>saant recreation after the duties of the day. Through our absorption in the subject we forget tbe lapse of time, hut hope those who sen us pass so late will not imagine we have been detained for poor leg sons. j Last Friday we gave our first public exercise. There were more present than we had expected, out we hope on the next occassioti, which will be the second of March, th?

All who enjoy refined humor should avail themselves of this opportunity to “laugh and grow fat ” Mr. Wood has of fered to give half of the proceeds of his lecture to the school, to start a fund with which to buy a drop curtain for the Auditorium. We are sure our citizens will show their appreciation of this generos ity by giving Mr. Wood a crowded house. QUESTION ANSWERED. Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in’the civilized world. Your mothers and graudmothers never thought of using anything else for Indiges tion or Billiousness. Doctors were scarce, and they seldsm heard of Appendecitiß, Nervous Prostration or Heart Failure, etc. They used August Flowei to clean out the system and Btop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the ac tion of the liver, stimulate the nervous and organic action of the system, and that is all they took when feeling dull and bad with headaches and other aches.

The Boers are descended from the Dutch of Holland and the Huguenots of France, who have a fighting record from the days of Julios Caesar. The Batavians were among the first tribes inhabiting Holland, and for many years, with Claudius Civilis, rebelled against Rome and held that great world power at bay, yielding only in the end to superior force and inex haustible resources. When imperial Rome was finally dissolved these fear less people, with the Frisians and other Teutonic tribes, governed them selves till Charlemagne waged war on them, and so persistent were they that, he was compelled to be content with a weak suzerainty, and allowed them self-government and freedom as “long as the wind should blow.” Then there were oonstant wars with Frank and German kings, who all found these people unconquerable and ready to die for their liberty. For some time they were subdued by Spain, the then greatest nation in the world; but in the sixteenth century they re belled—the smallest nation in the world against the largest—and, in spired by religious motives, began that memorable struggle for freedom which lasted eighty years, when in dependence was achieved and the backbone of Spain broken. It was during this war that William the Silent, the great Christian states man and the father of the Dutch Re public, renounced his allegiance to Spain and the Romish Church, de clined the offer of the command of the Spanish army, and, Muses-like, es poused the cause of the feeble, strug gling butch. His sublime faith in God, patriotism and love for liberty but reflected the character of the peo ple who sustained and followed him, and whose faitli and powers of endur ance were illustrated in the seige of Leyden. After the food supplies were exhausted, leaves were eaten from the trees, and finally cats and dogs be came the bill of fare. The Spaniards called them “cat and dog eaters,” and they defiantly replied: “As long as you hear the mew of a cat or the bark of a dog you may know that the city holds out. And when all has perished but ourselves, we will devour our left arms, retaining our right to defend our women, our liberty, and our re ligion against the foreign tyrant. When the last hour has come, with our own hands we will set fire to the city and perish, men, women and children together in the flames, rather than suffer our homes to be polluted and our liberties crushed.” This spirit of undying devotion to liberty lives in the Boers today, and Gen. Joubert voiced the opinion of them all when he recently said to the English Secretary: “You may take our land, but it will be over our dead bodies and the ash heaps of our homes.” With such illustrious kindred as the Prince of Orange, Van der Werf, Boiset and William the Third of England, among the Dutch; and Admiral Col igny and the Prince of Conde, of the Huguenots, and a large portion of that spirit abiding in them that en dured thevhorrors of Haarlem, Leyden and St. Bartholomew, it is no wonder that this little band is ready to oppose to Great Britain to the bitter eud. Their ancestors have been accustomed to fight the greatest nations in the world —Rome, Germany and Spaiu— and in the long, bloody conflict against civil and ecclesiastical tyranny, there was scarcely a great battle but what they were found among the bravest, fighting for freedom. STaseby, Lutzen, The Boyne, Bunker Hill, and York town, owed much to their heroism and unfaltering trust in God. Wliilp they helped in these decisive battles, they have not been aided in their own struggles, and have invariably been left to their own right arms and the God of battles. But they are never dismayed. As William the Silent said when no nation would help them against Spain : “We do not lose cour age, but hope that, although abandon ed by all ttie world, the Lord God will extend his right hand over us ” The Boers, unable to get foreign aid or arbitration, have put their cause in the hands of God, gone forth to fight, and will sell their liberty at a very dear price. They are true Calvinists like their ancestors, believe in a spe cial providence, and history teaches that such people are unconquerable,— Christian Observer. BARGAINS! t BARGAINS!' FOE EVERYBODY!
