TOWNSHIP CONVENTION. The Democrats of ('lay Township Nominate a Ticket Saturday. Last Saturday the democrats of Clay township met at Union in mass convention and nominated candidates to be voted for at the November election. The convention was largely attended, more than two-thirds of the democrats of that township being present. There was the utmost harmony and one of the best tickets ever placed before the voters of that township was nominated. The convention was called to order by M. B. Thomas, township chairman, who was also made the permanent chairman of the meeting, and P. D. -Abel was selected as secretary. The chairman selected as committee on resolutions Joseph McCrary, Joseph Cassidy and A. J. Robling. The committee on rules was J. F. Catt, M. M.

uowen ana i nomas Sanders. me committee on resolutions reported the fallowing which were adopted: Resolved, That we heartily indorse the ulatform of principles as adopted by the democratic party at Kansas City in June, 1900. Resolved, That we pledge our unanimous support to that matchless and fearless leader of the people, William Jennings Bryan. Resolved, That we favor the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the consent of any other nation or nations. Resolved, That we congratulate ourselves on having the gallant old soldier Alfred Dale Owen to lead and fight for the people’s rights in the First Congressional district and pledge our unanimous support for his election in the coming November. The convention proceeded to the nomination of candidates for the several places on the ticket. There was but few contests, the majority of the candidates being nominated by acclamation. The ticket as nominated follows: Trustee, Dr. B. F. Hatfield. Assessor, James N. Hunt. 1 Justices of the Peace, Thomas It. Sanders and Jonathan T. Catt. Constables. Andrew J. Robling and Fred Watson. „Supervisors—District No. 1. James Coleman; No. 2, Culmer Davidson: No. 3, Erwin R. Catt: No. 4. Charles Defendall. , Advisory Board. Ransom Decker, Alexander Gibbs and Robert Hyneman. The ticket is composed of splendid citizens of that township from top to bottom and who enjoy the confidence and respect of the voters irrespective of party affiliations. They are all capable, trustworthy and well fitted for the several positions. , Dr. B. F. Hatfield, the nominee for trustee, was born in Perry county, December 25, 1855. He is a graduate of the State University, and in 1882 graduated from the Ohio medical college at Cincinnati, and began the practice of his profession at Boonville. In 1888 he moved to Velpen, this county, where he practiced medicine and enjoyed the confidence and esteem of the citizens of that community. In 1894 he moved from Velpen to Union, where he has since resided and practiced medicine. As*a citizen and professional man he is held in the highest esteem by the citizens of Clay township. He was not a candidate for the place on the ticket, but the citizens of that township insisted that he accept the nomination. He is a splendid business man and citizen and well known to every voter of Clay township, and should he receive the election at the hands of the voters would make a most excellent official. James N. Hunt, the nominee for assessor), was born in Bonham, Texas, January 19, 1861, and when a small boy moved with his parents to Orange county. He came to Clay township in 1883, and has since been a resident. He is aj farmer by occupation. His qualifications for the office of assessor are of the best and he would make a splendid official. The voters of Clay township could do no better than to | elect him by a handsome majority.

Roosevelt on the Colored Soldier. The following extracts are taken

verbatim from Scribner’s Magazine for April, 1811*9, page 134: “I was with Henry Bardshar, running up at the double, and two Spaniards leaped from the trenches and fired at us, not ten yards away. I closed in and fired twice, missing the first and killing the second.” Page 426: “None of the white regulars or Rough Riders showed the slightest sign of weakening; but under the strain, the colored infantrymen ( who had none of their officers) began to get; a little uneasy and drift to the rear, either helping wounded men, or saying they wished to find their own regiment. This I could not allow, as it was depleting my line; so I jumped up and walked to the rear, drew my revolver, halted the retreating soldiers and called out to them that I appreciated the gallantry with which they had fought and would be sorry to hurt them, but that I should shoot the first man who, on any pretense whatever, went to the rear. My own had all set up and were watching my movements, with the utmost interest; so was Captain Hawze, I ended1 my statement to the colored soldiers by saying: “Now I shall be sorry to hurt you and you don’t know whether or not I will keep my word but my men can tell you that, I always do. ” Whereupon my cow punchers, hunters and miners solemnly nodded their heads and commented in chorus, exactly as if in comic opera: “He always does. he always does.” “This was the end of the trouble, for the smoked yankees, as the Spaniards called the colored soldiers, flashed their white teeth at one another as they broke in broad grins, and I had no more trouble with them, -they seeming to accept me as one of their own officers. ►(Signed) Theodore Roosevelt. \ J. Milton Turner, former United States Minister to Liberia, and a republican orator and organizer of national influence and reputation, has announced his intention to take the stump for Bryan. Mr. Turner says the negro soldiers who served during the war with Spain acutely resent Col. Roosevelt’s declarations that he had to drive the niggers back to duty at San Juan Hill. Turner is organizing a club of negro Spanish war veterans to defeat Roosevelt. Hon. J. L* Waller, who was U. S. Consul to Madagascar under President Harrison, and later a Captain in the 23rd Kansas Volunteers, which did valiant service in the war with Spain, is one of the leading colored men in this country. He stumped the United States for eight years under the auspices of the republican national committee and was considered one of its most efficient orators. Writing to a friend in Indianapolis under date of August 20, he says: “I have just read Col. Bryan’s masterful effort at Indianapolis—his speech accepting the democratic nomination for president of the United States. His speech will read well ^ besides those of the great Lincoln. Set me down for Williams Jennings Bryan.’’ Spain’s Greatest Need. Mr. R. P. Olivia, of Barcelona, Spain, spends his winters at Aikens, S. C. Weak nerves had caused severe pains in the back of his head. On using Electric Bitters, America’s greatest blood and nerve remedy, all pain soon left him. He says this grand medicine is what his country needs. All America knows that it cures liver and kidney trouble, purifies the blood, tones up the stomach, strengthens the nerves, puts vim, vigor and new life into every muscle, nerve and organ of the body. If weak tired or ailing you need it. Every bottle guaranteed, only 50 cents. Sold by Stearnes drug company.

What McKinley Wanted. “I am for the largest use of silver in the currency of the country. I would not dishonor it; I would give it equal credit and honor with the gold; I would make no discrimination; I would utilize both metals as money andt discredit neither; I want the double standard. ”—Congressman Wm. McKinley in 1890. . That Throbbing Headache Would quickly leave you, if you used Dr. King’s New Life Pills. Thousands of sufferers have proved their matchless merit for sick and nervous headaches. They make pure blood and strong nerves and build up your health. Easy to take. Try them. Only 25 cents. Money back if not cured. Sold by Stearnes & Co., druggists.
