The Bolivar bulletin. [volume] (Bolivar, Hardeman County, Tenn.) 1865-1888, 1888-03-09

l read in the last Bulletin that
the late prohibition convention at
Nashville called another conven~
ton to meet further on for the purc
pose of nominating a candidate for
governor and to transact such other
businesssas night come before the
body. My opinion is that this is a
very unwlse step. But I do net
think that the folly Of such a step
ought to be charged to the temper
ance people. 1 believe that it the
doiags Of the prohibition or arks,
backed and buoysd by Republican
scheners. Thousands Of good demo,
Gratis all over Tennessee supported
prohibition last sum mer who will
fatty refuse to sanction or support
a state prohibition ticket. I for enc
will do my utmost to defeat any
such ticket. The clear~headed
temperance people have endavored
at all times and under all circum-
stan c. to keep prohibition efforts
divorce d from party entanglements.
To usher tins question into the poll
teal arena this year will prove I'M
fortunate both to the temperance
cause and to the democratic party.
While l believe hat the only way
to purify the social, moral. and
political atmosphere from the i.n-
puritIes occasioned by liquors is
to pulverize the rum power yet l
am a democrat, and feel that I owe
higher and stronger allegiance to
my party and Its policies than to
any other, therefore, I shall stand
by my eslOrs IN the battle nov dLwn
ng upon US; and trust that my
brethren in Hardeman will do the
same, believe that it would be
well for temperance people of my
county to hold a convention and
protest against the proposed con-
ventlen TO put out a state prehibI~
ton ticket,

Force of Sea Waves.

Some idea of the tremendous force
possessed or exerted by sea waves may
be formed by the fact that an iron col.

weighing some 5000 pounds-part OIL
a new lighthouse being built-was, in
the course of operations, landed at
Bishop Rock, England, and, a storm
coming up, was left lashed by half
inch chain at each end to strong eye
bolts. Three days afterward it was
found, on examination, that the great
column had been tossed up by the
waves distance Of some twenty feet
to the top of the rock, where it was
swaying about like piece of timber.
Two days afterward, whens the work.
men were able to land, it was found
that blacksmith's anvil, weighing
150 pounds, which had been left in a
hole three and one-half feet deep and
two and one-half feet in diameter, had
also been washed by che waves COM

COLUMBIA S. c., oct 2G G-Ephraim
Mayes was hanged at Edgefeld to-day for
the murder of Jacob Burt in December last.
He was assisted in this crime by Dan Gra-
ham and Louise and CLANCY Burt, the
victims wife ana daughter. The object of
the murder was to get rid of the old gentle
man. Graham escaped and is still at
large, but the other three were arrested,
tried, found guilty of murder in the first
degree, and sentenced to hang to-day.
During her confinement in Jail CLANCY
gave birth to a child. This, together with
the fact that she was an unwilling acces-
sorry in the crime, caused the Governor to
grant her pardon, and the popular an
tipathy in this State to hanging woman,
secured for Louise Burt commutation Of
her sentence to life Imprisonment, but in
the case of Mayes the Governor declined to
interfere,

Decline to see me when you go
Along the street with bulls and bears"
Whatever else you choose TO do,
Abstain from patronizing airs.
Cut me direct upon the street;
Look down upon me when we meet;
Let others see who proudly stares.
Discrown me not, while suave and sweet,
With soft and patronizing airs.
There may be times when all may need
The friendship Of the friends indeed,
To help us lift lifes load Of cares;
But hearts had better break and bleed
Than pulse with patronizing airs.

And stoop to aid in my affairs;

of appeals one of Judge Ramsey's opinions
handed down yesterday ailirms the judg-
ment in the case of Leona Bryan VS.. the
Missouri Pacific Railway Company,
awarding the plaintiff damages for injur-
les sustained on that road while
riding on pass. One of tho
conditions of the pass was that the
person using it assumed all risk of
accidents The court instruct ted the jury
that it was the duty of the defendant to
have done all that human care, skill and
ingenuity could devise in the way of safe
coaches, tracks and machinery, and to keep
the same in proper repair; that even
though they might believe that plaintiff
was a gratuitous passenger and did not
pay for riding on the train, that such fact
did not affect the issues in the case and
was no defense.

the Minister was dated Pomona, Cal, but
n vigorous search of that place fails todis-
cover Chas, i. Murchison, the alleged nat

to get the opinion of the representative OF
England rs to how he should vote in Amer

securing the country for Mr.. Murchi son,
but he doesn't materiaize; neither is he
known at Los Angeles. The Los Angeles

Minister West and the latter's reply, says
Murchison will be brought out at the
proper time.

On the third table were several bowls Of
