DEAR EDITOR.-It IIUB been BO long since my last I iniiBt write you a few dots to kook up acquain tance. Rain continues to fall iu our sec tion and if general green dont grow now tho fertilizer io not good sure, I saw a friend from below and ho said if the seasons holdout they would have a nico grass crop to fall baclc on. Wo hoar HO much abnnt, tho boll woavel but wo hope tlioy won't roach herc, for wc know thoy would lie badly disappointed for food, lor only throe stands of bee's uro left and they work very slow. When one lctivcB for a load it ?likes him HO long to fill up that ho often forgets his way back. Wo have hopes for a good corn crop in this section.

EDITOR MARLBORO DEMOCRAT : lt is a well koowa axiom that all gift ? ?nd privileges bring with them duties and responsibilities I leave to the loaders of religious thought the task of impress ing tho above truth upon their constitu ents, and turn my pen toward tho task of impressing tho samo ttuth upon tho indi viauai as a citizen. While the obligation of duty and res ponsibility presses hard upon each and ovcry citizen io every land where privi leges are extended, it comes with double force upon tho fro? American, and is in- j ten.-itied upon the voter where is endowed | thc gift of the primary system making him the judge and jury upon every vote he mav cast. To the citizen who nita upon tho jury I leave to tho judges upon tho benoh. who periodically charges them with their du ties, to enforce their duties as good and true citizens, hut turn mv "'enlion rather to the citizen ns a VOYKR, as ho seldom ?cts advice upon these lines-, and when he Iocs, it comes fi otu tho demagogue upon the stump, who selfishly advise? tum to his own interests, without regard io tho moral obligation of tho voter as a citizen, or thc true good of thc commu nity ia which he lives. Let every voter remember that every ' .{iii and privilege is preserved to us. or I lost, by thc usc wo make of thom, The I history of all governments, and especiaily republics, has boon perpetuation t or.fail ure, in proportion as thc citizen was true > or false to hts principles. (Jan any one bc EO blind that- they can not seo how^ rapidly our free american government ia becoming rotten to thc ore and ready to tumblu and fall, and be fol lowed by despotism, thus li in to ry repent ing itself. Take (or an obj cc t lesson near I ut homo, tho abuso of power and duties, in tho exercise of tho average voter'H dioica in making up his ballot. Ho may afterwards regret it, but ilion it is too late the work of his careless indifference in bia selection of mon has boon done. An appeal is heroin made to every vo ter in the county to arise to the true ob ligation of a citizen, and to cast his vote conscientiously, without fear, favor, or .(lection. Let him in hts selection ti kc j only thc true and best. Don't be misled by appeals to friendship, for sympathy, or any other consideration but ?tness fur office. Turu a deaf car to (?ic worn out, foolish clamor for "rotation," lt is a deludion got ion up by thc "outs" agaiust tho - ms' If thu outs ure interior men to the ins. I have the moral courage to say so at the polls; and, viceversa, if thc outs arc better mm than tho ins. .Apply tho -ame business scnto to your politice that you do io yeer business. W ould you as a (armor or merchant tum off an etlluient farm hand or clerk, who gave every sat - ?-(action, at the oud of Iiis time, for a poorer help, or an untried ono, simply because the outside man wanted the job ? No, you would not. Apply these busi ness principles to your pol?tico and let merit be your watchword, rainer^ than rotation, and your politics will flourish aa doos your business, duly 'Jo, 1904.

Dear Democrat-I have been silent for some weeks, but it was because there was so much talk about my com ing out aa a candidate for some office, and I thought I better not write a letter until candidates started out can vassing the county, then 1 would feel pretty certain T would not be taken for an aspirant or office seeker. Now, brethren, you can pass along, I am "not in de ring" this lime. You need not bother to hunt me up to speak to me, for I pass you on the streets and you don't know me. But that's all right boys, I expect to vote for the last one of you. I will vote for halt you at the Primary, and the other half in November. One of the boys come round to day and fouud me at the saw mill. "Hello is this Ebb", "why yes, this is him.*' "Well, you are a big fat fellow now, what you used to be/' He said, he rather have a caw mill than to he presidout. It is so aspiring " I said to myself well it takes money to buy a saw mill, und it takes brain to fill an office. So, I thought he was running for the office, and I was running the j saw mill. He had the mental and I j hud tho physical power. Ile waa suited for office and I ior saw mill work. I won't call any name. I will he sure to vote for him either in tho primary or tho general election I don't expect to tell any oue who will get left until after the (bli of November, then I will sorlor whisper arouud among my l^ct friends, that such and such a one got left. But, dont you sa/ anything abjut tliis now, because its ba'! enough to Set left, aud still worse for a fellow to e tolling it to every body ho meets. Well, I will promise you I won't say a woid about what you caudidates have said to me. One fellow enid he just como to Brightsville to get ac acquainted with Mr. Goodwin. Where is lu? I said 1 reckon I am the man. Well, I guess he wns astonished to find me 6o black nnd greasy, with a set of overalls on, as usual with all saw mill men who love to seo the saw whorl, Well, the follow never did ask me to support bim. All he wanted was to meet Mr. Goodwin When he met him, he made short metro aud said, "Well, I am glad 1 have mot you, I won't ask you to yote for me. Well, said I. I don't euro whether you ssh mo or not, I will see you lator. Yes, see you later. Well, that candidate knew he had made somothiug, when ho heard the word "later," that lie was either going to catch a licking, or catch a vote, and lie bid me good day, and away ho went. Now, all that don't come to see me may expect a vote, because I um busy juBt now, and want to get ready for the big meeting. Melou time and eider, candidates aud big meetings all come about the same time, iu the month of August-tho hottest of the year. We haye beau blessed with plenty, of raiu.

Mr. Samuel Goodwin, who was out on business here has returned back to Texas to those babies he so m neb talked about. I hope ho readied them safely aud found them well. Tho wri ter had the pleasure of going tho rounds with Mr Goodwin, and I must tay I was amply repaid tor going, by meeting some of Marlboro's best peo ple. Their kindness and hospitality will ever he choriehed hy one that will noyer forget. Miss Ethel and Mias Mary, J. D and Col. C. P.
