THE ANSWER.
The Free Press man pursues a
very wise course in which to an
swer the truths contained in the
Eulogy. He begins in his bom
bastic style to class the Eulogy
in the list of ill tit production.
He studies over the situation
and finds no way to refute the
solemn declarations, and having
at his command an abundance of
'* ->dicule, he laughs and hoots the
whole matter to scorn. But, in
the distance, stand the menacing
ghosts of Tom Patton, Martin
Junction deal, Mayberry Smith
and the Quorum court appropri
ation, haunting each honest citi
zen by day and by night.
Refering to our article, our
brother says: ‘'He refers (speak
ing of the Newrs man) to every
laudable enterprise in Augusta
and classes it among “skin
games” and manipulated by a
select few who he claims lord it
over the rest of the poor devils 5
in Augusta.However,
if our orother would only inves
tigate the matter he would find
out that these institutions arej
not owned and manipulated by j
the parties who control the coun
ty’s affairs. ”
We did not intend any “skin j
game” insinuations. Every place j
has reasons to be proud of all j
ligitimate business organizations.
But some, of the individuals con- j
nected with the institutions, \
were silent managers in the i
Tom Patton deal and the
Martin Junction matter.
Right here, it might be proper
to inform my brother that when]
the Martin Juntion property was!
sold, it was sold in a body. And
no one but John Jelks of Mem
phis and the Augusta represena
tive were bidders for same. Of
course the Free Presser was not
here at the time of sale and judg
ing from the tenor of his piece,
lie has been associating with
some parties that are no better
informed than he. Now back to
the managers, they said very lit
tle or nothing, but their money
did what their tongues could uot
do. They furnished the money
to help the machine run.
The Free Press further says:
“Our brother furth r goes on by
saying that §40,000 was appropri
ated of the people’s money with
out law or precedent. Our broth
ther does not know that the mag
istrates of the county appeared
in court and voted for an appro
priation.
We know that the magistrates
of this county did not appropriate
($10,000.) they voted against an
appropriation on the second
day of court and a motion was
made to adjourn, which the court
over-ruled as revolutionary in
its nature. Every one knows
that a motion to adjourn is always
in order. But in this case, it
was revolutionary. The court
said the books had to be signed
first. The next day after the ap
propriation of a few hundred
dollars (not $40,000.00) had been
made, one of his men moved to
adjourn, but in order to appear
right, he was allowed to hold the
floor until the books were signed,
>,i <ti the movers suggestion, but
it the court’s suggestion. Wb;
icin’! he make this suggestion
to the man who moved to adjourn
the day before? Because, he
had not gotten what lie was after.

The 3rd day one Mayberry
Smith was so sick he could not
be at court, but he was at Snapps
with a roll of gi-eenback trying
to trade horses. Several other
esquires changed their minds
sometime during the darkness of
the night and were ready the
next morning to make a little ap
propriation. These are facts.
We are not only opposed to
chicanery at Augusta and Cot
ton Plant, we are opposed to it at
home and abroad which our
brother very well knows.
We believe in the officers of our
county, state and nation being
men of such unquestionable
character, that every father and
mother would not be afraid for
their son or daughter to follow
in their footsteps. What can we
promise the youth of our kind
when dirty schemers are set up
as models for the rising genera
tion to immitate? We should
assert our democratic priveleges
and oust the deceivers of our
confidence. We should have men
whose integrity is uinnspeachable

A Good Reccommendation.
“I have noticed that the saloon
Chamberlain’s Stomach & Liver
Tablets is almost invariably to
those who have once used them,”
says Mr. J. H. Weber, a promi
nent druggist of Cascade, Iowa.
(Vh't better recommendation
could any medicine have than for
people to call for it when again in
need of such a remedy? Try them
when you feei dull after eating,
when you have a bad tast in your
mouth, feel billious, have no ap
petite or when troubled with
constipation and you are certain
to be delighted with the prompt
relief which they afford. For
sale by Dr. .T. B. Neal of MeCro
ry and A. S. Thompson of De
View, Arkansas.
REMARKABLE CURE OE CROUP.
A Little Boy’s Life Saved.
I have a few words to say re
garding Chamberlain.s Cough
Remedy. It saved my little boy’s
iife and I feel that I cannot
praise it enough. I bought a
bottle of it from A. E. Steere of
.Groodwin, S. D., and when I got
home with it the poor baby could
hardly breathe. I gave the med
icine as directed every ten min
utes until he “threw up” and
then I thought sure he was go
ing to choke to death. We had
to pull the phlegm out of his
mouth in great long strings. I
am positive that if I had not got
that bottle of cough medicine,
my boy would not be on earth to
day.—Joel Demont, Inwood,
