TUB ION. JLDSON 0. CLEMENT,
OF WALKER.
*■ [Oar reason: First, he is the only man in
he district that can annihilate the Inde
pendent party of the Seventh Congressional
district.
Second, that he is entitled to it.
Third, that he is now more ablor to do the
work].
We this week announce ths name
o 4 the Hon. Junsox C. Clements, of
Walker county, as our choice for a
third term at tlie hands of the people
of the Seventh Congressional district.
In 1880 the nomination was tendered
♦o most every prominent man in the
district and they all declined to accept
it. The convention then nominated
a gentleman of Roseville Factory, but
he declined loftccopt. The convention
then convened at Rome agaiu and
nominated the llon. Judson C
CLlkments, who accepted the nomina
tion under unfavorable circum
stances, was elected ; and again in
1882 he was nominated and was again
successful. Now, while the parly is
well organized under the leadership of
Judson other men are now wanting to
represent the dear people of this dis
trict, they will risk their reputation
in a canvass. We would like for
some of these want-to.be Congressmen
tell ns who is entitled to the nomina
tion this time. Mr. Clements organ
ized the party when Dabney and Les
ter failed, and Felton hold fall sway,
until 1880. We say Clements should
he sustained and ought to have the
rsce without an effort on his part.
W’u received a contnuinication from
a very prontißcnt citizen of Walker
connty, this week which we take pleas
ure in publishing, know him
well, he is not aa aspirant, and conse
quenty has an honest idea of the facts.
1( Walker county holds a convention
and nominates a man we will support
him, but if no nomination is made the
Hon. Hiram Smith is our choice, ho is
an Honest man, and a man of ability,
anil would make vis a good represen
tativo, one that the Foitv-fonr Sena
tor ; al district would fee! proud of, but
wc are for the wan that Walker coun
ty wants; according to rotation they
'’ s ’oice in the matter, wp pro
'p se to tick to the nominee for that
ra«»on. If Hiram Srvth is a candi
date before tho convention wo are for
him.

Z • Care of Fowls In Winter.
Most persons who keep fowls derive
very little benefit from them during the
winter. They gain little if anything in
weight, and the are often large.

combs or ie»‘t frozen, or to become dis

fowls arc generally selected and mau

A Theory of Flics.
Scientific persons are always Invent
ing new theories to account f r all sort>
of things. For example, there is aPn
lessor Smith’s theory of cats, accordic
to which a cat’s fondness for the btc
fence is duo to the fact that nature dr
the animal to sit on the ridjjc
poles of houses, and that in other citie-.
where the roofs are neatly at! fl it, I h i
back fence offers the best at.tTmabh
substitute for the ridge pole. There i
also Prof. Brown's theory that mosqtii
hies do not exist, and that, it is a disea?
of the nerves which makes us imagin.
that we see and feel something wine
wo call mosquitoes. The latest and nv>?
intercstin, *of scientific theories is Prot.
Simmons's theory of flies. This eminent
Chicago scientific person believes that
flies exist at ail times of the year in va t
quantities in the atmosphere at a dis
tance of a m : l» and seven-eights froi:
the surface of the ear : h, and that they
are driven to the earth by any concus
sion of the air, such as is produced by «
thunder-storm or by the discharge of
artillery.
In support of this theory Profossor
Simmons brings forward several plan- i
ble iliustrations. Ho reminds us tier
we have had hardly any thunder-storm •
in the Nor'hern States until since the
beginning of July, and that until that
time there were scarcely a fly visible
During the entire months of May and
June, when, according to precedent,
our homes should have swarmed wi •
Sics, we enjoyed a marked and univer
sal exemption from them. Lven in
Houses where the most &'luring fly-paper
was displayed, not a fly was caught, and
both the wonderful harmony which pre
vailed among politicians, and the unex
ampled decrease of business in our di
vorce courts, were, in Prof. Simmon’s
opinion, due to the death of dies.
The Professor calls attention to the
fact that the flies suddenly arrived in
Innumerable quantities tho cay after the
bombardment of Alexandria. A ; is well
known, the heaviest guns of the Itriti-h
navy were fired for several conseeutm
hours during this bombardment, and
were answered by the loss heavy but
still enormous guns of tho Egyptian
forts. The din was tremendous, and
had a heavy shower fallen immediately
after the bombardment ceased, those i
persons who believe that a heavy artil
lery fire always produces rain would have i
exclaimed that their theory was justified.
Professor Simmons se”ms to have an
equal right to cite the L -rabardment as
an ilhisti afion of his own particular
theory. Flies certainly did appear for
the first time this summer the day after
the bombardment, and the Professor is
perfectly certain that they were brought
down from the upper regions o! tho at-!
moaphore by concussion.
So long as this theory remsins noth- j
ing but a theory it can do no harm, but i
its learue 1 inven'or ought to be made to i
understand that there are s«>ms thing*
which an intelligent public will n-.t I
tolerate. He is now engaged in an el- j
fort to induce Congress to lend him a
battery of heavy gun?, and to make an
appropriation to defray tha expense of
bombarding the .heavens, in order to
produce a shower of flies. No mm,
however learned he may be, and how
ever estimable may be his general char-;
acter, can engage in the work of pro- i
ducing flies and live. We have all the |
fiies that are needed—all in f:.c.t that ve
can possibly endure—and the man who
attempts lo : dd to their number by fir
ing cannon will Vm, justly blown from
the month oi one of his own guns by a.i i
Infuriated and alarmed people.
Without venturing Pi pi on ounce upon
the truth or falsity of Prof. Simmons’s
’henry of flies, it may bo suggested that
the existence of bald-headed men mar
account fur files in a perfectly satisfac
tory way. Look for a moment at tho
facts, if a bald-headed ra.in i ; exposed
ior one hour in a room with live persons
!K>*sessing a decent, * mount of hair, and
in a region where flies abound, m ,e
lues will ohi-ter on his head than on the
