on the first ballot for the House of
Representatives.
Ross and Thomas will have to run
the second race for Sheriff.

ballot. r
Vinesetf had no opposition and is

McArthur will beat Strain by a
narrow margin.
Jones is re-eiected treasurer over
Blanton.

(Correspondence of The Ledger.)
Etta Jane, August 29.—According
to promise J will begin an account of
our county campaign this week, and
try to give ourreudears as near a ful
account of it as possible. To begin
with :—The Ledger has already given
our readers an account of the meet
ing at Owen’s Ford and Mabry’s Mill.
At both places there was a full turn
out of citizens to greet the candidates
and hear them speak. At Owen’s
Ford August 11 John Barleycorn put
in his appearance and made himself
heard and felt in the shouts and
“skriininiges” of his devotees. Ike
Gault the veteran Pea Ridge barbe-
cuean, went to work as if he intended
to fix up a Jenkins darkey for the roakt-
ing rack. But the intervention of
lends who had no thirst for negro
go re dissuaded him, and tbe darkey
walked off after showing that he had
some symptoms of grit about him,
we did noi take the trouble to enquire
into the affair, as it was all over
before we got there and iDbcdy saw
anything wrong.
1 also heard that another couple
tried to get atone another at the
table. But it was somewhat like
Roch Cooney said about Mike Hoot
er’s preaching—nothin’ more’n loud
hollerin’ and a little cussin.’' The
candidatei conducted themselves
there, as at other places, on a high,
gentlemanly plane, so far as 1 could
see an 1 hear. The shouting for their
respective candidates was not the
effervescing of “bug juice” imbibed
by those who took part in it. Each
candidate seemed to accord to his
opponent or opponents all the res
pect due him. There was at Owen’s
Ford pruuably 300 Chemkee county
voters and all who would or did par
take got a good-jbarbeeue dinner fur
nish*. 1 by Messrs. Wilkins Ji: Black
wood. Mr. W. A. Jefferies, township
chairman, acted as muster of cere
monies. Tlie speakers were called as
their names appeared in the an
nouncement column of The Ledger
and most of them responded giving
their respective claims to the office to
which each aspired. The meeting
was called to order at 10 ;30aud lasted
until 5 p. m.

Just as soon as a man acquires his

Nothing could be fairor, more phil

afflicted, than the generous offer of
the houoVed and distinguished chem
ist, T. At Slocum. M. (L, of New
York City. .
He has discovered a reJiab.e and
absolute cure for consumption, and
all bronchial, throat, lung and chest
diseases, catarrhal affections, general
decline and weakness, loss of flesh
and all conditions of wasting uway ;
and to make its great merits known,
will send three free bottles“uf his
newly discovered remedies to any af
flicted reader of the Ledger.
Already his ‘‘new scientitic system
of medicine” lias permanently cured
thousands of apparently hopeless
cases.
The Doctor considers it not only
liis professional, but his religious
duty—a duty which lie owes to suffer
ing humanity—to donate his infallible
cure.
He has proved the “dreaded con
sumption” to be a curable disease be
yond u doubt, in any climate, and
has on tile in his American and Euro
pean laboratories thousand of “heart
felt testimonials of gratitude” from
those benefitted and cured, in all
parts of the world.
Catarrhal and pulmonary troubles
lead to consumption, and consump
tion, uninterrupted, means speedy
and certain death. Don’t delay until
it is to late. Simply write T. A.
Slocum, M. O., 98 Bine street, New

address, and the free medicine w ill bo

was nothing like the one at
Owen’s Ford in decorum, although
some evidence of John Barleycorn
crept in and some of the colored
visitors present endeavored as far us
possible to imitate tiicir white neigh
bors and give a side show to the oc
casion. The principal a Mors in the
spat were Willis Norris and a gentle
man of African descent whose name I
did nor learn However, the matter
went off without any more than some
first-class bluster. The Messrs.
Mabry served a first-class barbecue
—plenty of well cooked meats and
every article of food well flavored
with palatable condiments. And, by
the way. the thanks of your corres
pondent are due Mr. Eogan C. Mabry
for a free ticket to the table.
The candidates for congress for
this congressional district—Messrs.
Finley, Barber, Henry and Pollock
were present and spoke briefly after
the county candidates got through.
Also Rev. B. P. Robertson made a tell-
ingspeech in favor of Prohibition. He
was listened to with almost breath
less silence. Chairman S. It. Tliack-
Hton introduced the speakers. Ho
was careful to see that every candi
date hud a fair showing as regards to
time ami attention, as was also Mr.
W. A. Jefferies on the previous oc
casion. av Gwen's Ford. There was
from 300 to 4U0 voters at Mabry’s
Mill, and all passed off quitely so far
as I know except tbe “rucus” among
some drunken darkeys given above.
The night before tbe Mabry's Mill
meeting I spent with my friends, Mr.
and Mrs. J. E. Foster, the latter of
which was one of my pupils when a
little girl. I was most kindly treated
by them as by other friends with
whom I had the pleasure of spend 1 .ig
my time. 1 was also kindly received
in the home of Mr. Bently and his
good family and pleasantly entertained
by Miss Eillie, his accomplished
daughter, who gave us some splendid
music. Miss Lillie is one of Chero
kee’s charming young ladies and I
promised to send to her a beau—a
nice, genteel, up-to-date, good looking
and well doing fellow. No other
kind need apply.
On Monday, loth Inst., I left home
at 2 o’clock p. in., for Timber Ridge.
Passing through Steen City I called
to see Young Miller, who was acci
dently shot through the body some
time ago with a 32 calibre pistol, and
to my surprise found him sitting out
at the well where his father and
other hands were drawing the water
out to dig it deeper. Dr. W J.
Douglass, who cut the ball out of his
back (it having entered at the lower
end of the e.east bone and passed
through the body) had said there was
no necessity for or danger of his dying
from the wound. But 1 was disposed
O look upon it more seriously. The
young man was all right. Then I found
my oid friend Junius Sparks In the
fodder field. Bu| distant thunder
over a rising cloud sent him to the
house where we sat and chatted until
the cloud passed away and I resumed
my journey. .Mr. Sparks kindly In
vited me to spend the night with him,
but I had promised my friend O. E.
Tate to be at his house that night
without fail, so I went on From Hoc.
William Jefferies’ to Mr. Tate’s I had
to travel over country and plantation
roads, which in most places in this as
well as other sections of the county,
are well nigh impassable. At Mr. Wm.
Jefferies' 1 called to get directions to
Mr. Tate’s and Miss Mary Jefferies in
giving the same said : “At the forks
of the road take the right hand and
keep on until you come to a branch |
then keep in the plainest way and
you may get there.” I found the I
young lady meant that I would have j
less trouble in finding the road than
travelling it after 1 found it. How- j
ever, I got to Mr. Tate’s about sunset
and found him sitting on the porch ■
looking for me. Pony was soon disen- i
gaged from cart and she went to pick
ing about the yard while we went i
into a general conversation about the
ups and downs and other matters as
they came up. Mr. Tate is an old
soldier—A member of the gallant 5th
South Oarolina Regiment and was
severely wounded from the effects of
which he still suffers and is unable
to do a hard day’s work. He has a
happy family of two sons and one
daughter who are a great comfort to
him. His oldest son, Eizy, is one of
the best young men in Cherokee
county. His other son, Webster,
is a genius and has made some of the
best drawings I have ever seen made
off hand and without the aid of chart
or teacher. The pictures are life-
size and are equal in appearance to
the workmanship of the most expe
rience artist. Some of them are
nicely framed and would be an orna
ment to the finest parlor.
The night after supper Obie Tate,
Jr., came in. He is a nephew of Mr.
Raz Tate, and is taking an active hand
in politics. Of course we gladly gave
him the chance to ventilate his views
on the situation, which he did until
a late hour, when we retired and na
tures balmy, sweet restorer took pos
session over us until morning.
Next morning after breakfast we
were in readiness for the speaking at
Timber Ridge and on the ground
early. Buggies, wagons, carts, horse
men and pedestrians were coming in
from all sides, and by 10 o’clock
fully 350 voters were on the ground,
with a goodly nnmber of ladies who
came to honor the occasion with their
presence. The house, piazza and
yard of our friend (and mind reader),
M. M. Tatet were full of ladies, child
ren, voters and candidates. Our
friend, Henry Addis, assisted by Jim
Murphy, was preparing a barbecue
dinner, and the Brown boys had their
lemonade stand in full blast. Water
melons were there in abundance and
everybody was happy and in good
humor. At 10:30 a. m., that christ-
iai^gentleman, S. R. Thackston.Jchair-
man, called the meeting to order and,
announced that the exercises would
be opened with prayer by Rev. B. P.
Robertson. All hats were off and quiet
prevailed while the minister, in a
fervent prayer, invoked the presence
and guidance of Almighty God on
the occasion. The speakers were
then introduced, beginning with Pro
bate Judge and ending with the Sen
atorial candidates. During the day
an hour was taken for dinner and
recreation. The stand was erected
near Mr. Tates’ residence under the
large shady oaks where a cool breeze
at times fanned tbe ardor of the office
seekers.
The meeting at Timber Ridge was
a very orderly one and each candi
date got a respectful hearing. Here,
as at Mabry’s Mill, Rev. B. P. Rob
ertson presented the cause d Prohi
bition in bis usual quiet and forci
ble manner. And notwithstanding
the prejudice against prohibition
many expressed themselves us fairly
convinced that it was the dutv not
only of Christians but of law abiding
citizens to vote and work for the ex
pulsion of liquor from our land.
At Timber Ridge as well as at the
other campaign meetings quite a
number of clever people turned out.
Everything was quiet and orderly
most of the time duringtbe speaking.
The ladies were at the stand and their
presence no doubt bad much to do
with the good order we had. Among
the ladies in Timber Ridge section
are some of the most enthusiastic sup
porters of Prohibition, and one of
them told me long before the meet
ing there that she intended to be
present and see who was in favor of
Prohibition and who was not; and
she intended to use her influence for
or against him accordingly. She was
there sure enough, and I told her I
would ask the chairman to give her
a chance to speak but she refused and
said, you better not. At the Timber
Ridge meeting I saw no effect of
liquor. All was quiet and orderly so
fur as I could see or hear.
The meeting broke up while a
heavy cloud was approaching and
the congregation made for their re
spective homes or places of refuge as
fast us possible. Rev. Mr. Creech, of
the M. E. Church, who had been as
signed the order of speaking at Tim
ber Ridge, was detained Id a pro
tracted meeting at Wilson’s chapel,
and did not get there in time. His
place however, as already stated,
was supplied by Rev. B. P. Robertson.
On iny way to Brown’s store I
stopped out of the ruin at the home
of Mr. Thackston, where 1 was most
cordially welcomed and invited to
spend the night, but as I had made
other promisee I was excused and
after looking over Mr. Thackston’#
apiary and orchads, us well as his crop,
I proceed to the home of Mr. J. B.
Foster, where I spent the night of
August 16th and from where 1 will
continue my narrative next week.
I must give some space to our lo

.Cf Carmi, 111., to the Brad fie Id Regulator
p^ompany, of Atlanta, Ga., the proprie
tors ana manufacturers of “Mother’s
Friend.” This successful remedy is not
one of the many internal medicines ad
vertised to do unreasonable things, but a
those parts of woman’s organism
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The liniment may be used at any and
all times during pregnancy up to the
very hour of confinement. The earlier it
is begun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will be the result, but it has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.
It not only shortens labor and lessens
the pain attending it, but greatly diniin-
ishes the danger to life o? both mother
and child, and leaves the mother in a con-
dition more favorable to speedy recovery.
“ Mother’s Friend ” is sold by druggists
at $i.oo, or sent by express on receipt of
price.
