At a meeting of the State Democratic Executive Commit tee held in Columbia last week, at which Senator Irby presided, the following resolutions were adopted: “The State Democratic executive committee, recognizing the fact that there are factional differences existing in the Democratic party, earnestly suggest to the Democrats of the State to ignore such factional differences in the election of delegates to the Con stitutional convention, and let each candidate stand on his merits. A primary election is hereby order ed to be held in every county in this State on the 80th. day of July next at which every white voter in this State shall be entitled to vote, who shall make pledge to the managers con ducting the election that he will sup port the nominees of such election on the day of the election to be held on the third Tuesday in August for dele gates to the State Constitutional con vention. Each county executive committee shall appoint three managers and one clerk to hold such election, two of the managers shall be Reformers and one manager and the clerk shall be Con servatives or vice versa. The polls Mrfl. Phoebe Thomas, of Junc tion City, 111. was told by her doctors she had Consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two bottles Dr. King’s New Discovery completely cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr. Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida 8t. San Francisco, suf fered from a dreadful cold, ap proaching Consumption, tried without result everything else then bought one bottle of Dr. King’s New Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He ia nat urally thankful. It is such re sults, of which these are sam ples, that prove the wonderful efficacy ot this medicine in Coughs and Colds. Free trial bottles at Willcox & Co’s Dru] Store.

Wetting Sf Bonnoitt, Agents for Chattanooga Cane Mills, Patent Improved Evaporator^ Hoax—“I see they have a I new name . for th03e ’ h 'K h bui . ld : Each candidate fcr the Constitu tional convention ehall at leaet ten day* before the said primary election file hie pledge with tne chairman or •eeaetary of the County Democratic Executive Committee that he will abide by the reeuit of the election and eupport the nominees of the party, and no vote for any candidate who hae failed to sign such pledge shall be counted. To prevent the single popping of candidates no vote for delegates shall be counted which does not contain the names of delegates who have signed the pledge of the same num ber as the number of delegates to which said county is entitled under the act, calling the convention. The second primary shall be held on August 13th., If necessary, accord ing to the rules of the party, and the same managers shall serve. These resolutions are all very well. They seem to be perfect ly fair, and we see nothing to object to in them. The only thing remaining now is for them to be carried out in good faith. The County Democratic Ex ecu tive Committee should call a convention at once for the pur- pose of nominating four dele gates, (two from each political faction), to be yoted for at this primary. Let the very best men on each side be put for ward, so that a ticket may be formed that will command the endorsement and support of every white man in the County. We will thus be enabled to se cure, at least as far as this par ticular election and this particu lar County are concerned, a con tinuation of white supremacy, and that, too, without any in justice being done to the negro. A BOMBASTIC MANIFESTO. The newspapers all over the country are making fun of Gov ernor Evans for the defiant atti tude he has assumed towards the United States Circuit Court, and he deserves to be laughed at.

A MARTYR INDIGESTION Cared by Urine Ayer’s Sarsaparilla Word* of Comfort to All who Suffer from Dyepopoio. “For years, I was a martyr to indigestion, and had about given up all hope of ever finding relief, as the complaint only seemed to grow worse instead of better, under ordinary treatment. At last, I was induced to try Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, and I hereby testify that after using only three bot tles, I was cured. I can. therefore, confidently recommend this med icine to all similarly afflicted.”— Franklin Beck, Avoca, la. personally acquainted Beck and believe any may make She—“I think there is con siderable room for improvement in ladies’ dresses nowadays.” He—“Well, in the sleeves es pecially.
