WHITE, (Post office Building) Hamilton, Alabama The Marion Herald – by the Herald Publishing Co JAMES. S. CLEMENTS, Editor J. P. JOHNSON, Associate Ed’r EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT Read the letter from the president of the County Wheel and see what he says about ‘a county ticket’. Senator James L. Pugh was one among the number of democratic Senators who voted in favor of the pension steal that passed the Senate recently. “The Southern Letter” published in Tuskegee by the Tuskegee Normal School has been received at the Herald office. It is a neatly printed little sheet and quite interesting. ---------- Elsewhere in this issue of our paper we publish a call for the Democratic Executive Committee of this county to meet in Hamilton on the 31st day of March. As business of great importance will come before the committee it is earnestly hoped that here may be a full attendance. SWEET POTATOES ------------- I. J. L’S REPLY TO PLEBIAN Bull Mountain, Ala. March 6th, 1888 Mr. Editor: As Plebian has taken upon himself to criticize what I said about the Blair bill, I feel disposed to jaw back a little. I did not say that there was anything in the bill that would force n— equality in the schools, but that if the bill passed the control of our schools would pass out of the hands of the State authorities and placed in the hands of the United States authorities, and if that was done we, as a state, would have no means of resisting n--- equality in the schools. Plebian quotes our state school law as through it was the Blair Bill. This bill, when originally introduced proposed to donate seventy-five million dollars a year for seven years, which sum was to be distributed among the states according to the illiteracy of the same. So you see the states that have made the greatest proficiency in education would get the lease amount money but I do not object to the bill on that account. I take it for granted that if Plebian is a democrat at all, that he is on the Sam Randall plan, and in favor of a high protective tariff for the benefit of those infant industries which the Republicans speak of, some of them now one hundred years of age and have become to be mighty giants in the land. So big that whenever the government don’t run in their interest they clog its wheels and compel obedience to their wishes. Plebian seems to imitate that there is no such condition to the Blair bill that a state has to give up the control of its school fund before it can get the benefit of the appropriation, but it is there all the same, unless changed since first introduced. There were two attempts to change it just before it was voted on in the Senate, but they both failed. So it is just as reasonable to suppose (if the bill becomes a law) that men would be sent here to take charge of our schools as that they are now here to execute the revenue laws. A correspondent to the Home and Farm says: “We see the tendency toward a centralized government growing stronger every day – it is seen in the bills that are constantly introduced. The Blair Educational bill is one now most prominently pointing that way. Give the control (it amounts to that) of our public schools to the general government and the people have taken the most important step toward centralization. This tendency of centralization of power to a Federal head is precisely what the Democratic Party has had to contend against from its earliest existence to the present day. The man who favors the Blair bill opposes a reduction of taxation, for that was the intention of the bill at the start, to get rid of the surplus and then there would be no grounds for a reduction of taxation. It is inconsistent for any man to favor the Blair Bill and a reduction of taxation too – one is in direct opposition to the other. I. J. L. Ad for the Ithaca Gun = $35 A TERRIBLE DEATH – [Mobile Register] Ad for Dr. Simmons Liver Regulator Ad for Automatic Rug Machine - Ladies why spend weary weeks making rugs with the old fashioned hook, when in a few hours the same work can be accomplished with our new automatic rug machine.

Thursday – March 22, 1888 LOCAL DEPARTMENT The State of Alabama, Marion County To the Democratic Executive Committee of Marion County: You will hereby take notice that a meeting of the Committee will be held at Hamilton, Ala. on the 31st day of March 1888 for the transaction of important business. Every member is earnestly requested to attend. W. H. KEY, Secretary JOHN A. POPE, President Road working is now if full blast. Somewhat disfigured but still in the ring. ‘Squire KEY and STANFORD are attending Circuit Court at Vernon this week. Mr. W. T. GAST after a severe illness which lasted for several days is again able to be out. Miss MATTIE WHITE, daughter of Rev. JOOHN W. WHITE, of Russellville is visiting in town this week. Miss NORAH CASHION returned from Russellville on Monday last, after spending a short time with friends at that place. Miss LENA MATTHEWS returned from Vernon on last week where she has been attending a music school. She will now take lessons at this place. Mr. JOHN L. WHITE, late of this place, but who is now located at Guin, spent part of Saturday and Sunday last with friends in town, all of whom were pleased to see him. Our mail on last Tuesday consisted of two postal cards, one circular and a sample copy of Home and Farm, so we deem it unnecessary to ask our readers to “please pardon the scarcity of news’ this week. Pay up for your subscription and we will be able to purchase some seed potatoes and a real good straw hat. Not that we are asking to get into the gardening business, but we need the hat. You see this is campaign wear and we can’t well perform our part rigged out in only a half summer dress, consisting of a standing collar and a pair of spurs. Misses KATIE and ITTIE FRAZIER, two charming young ladies whoa re in school at this place, visited their home at Pikeville on last Sunday. On last Thursday, Miss ANGIE BALDRIDGE, late of Fulton, Miss. accompanied by her father, arrived in our city. Miss ANGIE has charge of an instrumental music class here which she began to instruct on last Monday. Our own knowledge of Miss ANGIE’S competency leads us to know she will prove herself wholly worthy of this position, and will, ere long, develop the musical talent with which some of our young people are so abundantly blessed. Barnesville, Ala., March 10, 1888 Editor Herald: The question is continually being asked will the Marion County Wheel put out a county ticket. I answer most empathically that it will not. The matter was thoroughly discussed at our last county meeting, and the opposition to such a movement was almost unanimous. Our County Wheel considers that it is in no part a political organization, but strictly an agricultural one, and that its members are free to act with any political party and vote for whomsoever they please. P. M. WIGINTON, President Marion Co. Wheel WASHINGTON LETTER NOTICE! NOTICE!
