prove the sentiments of our County Alli-
ance which recen tly met at Franklin's
| Institute; also the Alliance of the Tenth
Congressional District, which convened
at Memphis, in their approval of our
worthy state president, and the adoption
OF the Ocala Demands.
Resolved, That copy of these resolu-
tons be furnished the BULLETIN, Appeal
Avalanche, Toiler and Unionist for pub
llcation. c. NJ. REED, President.
A. 0. JOHNSON, Secretary.
An outsider, unfamiliar with the
facts IN the case, would naturally
suppose that the doom of the Bull.
LETIN was sealed by the foregoing;
but, to let the public know how
the boycott works, we Will state
that we have lost only one subscri-
Der, and dollars to doughnuts
neither the American or Appeal
Avalanche have lost one. Now to
proceed further: Union No. sos is
composed of citizens living near
Pocahontas. 1t is a fact that there
are some as true and loyal demo-
Gratis who live in and near Pocahon-
tas as exist On earth; and it is also a
fact that republicans of the deep
est dye abound in that community.
We are reliably informed that
Union No. 500 is com posed prlnci-
paIly OF the latter class. G.. M.
Reed. the president, makes no pre-
tentions whatever towards being a
democrat, but has been, and is, a
worshiper at the shrine of republi-
canism. His father before him
belonged to the notorious Hurst
regiment. We are warranted In
asserting that both Reed, the pres
ident and johnson, the secretary,
''are so rank with republicanism
that they SMELL" As the BOLIVAR
BULLETIN is a democratic pa
per, we are not surprised that we
have incurred the wrath of No. 506.
Neither are we surprised at No. 506
endorsing aud eulogizing Mellow
ell, for they recognize in HIM an
efectual allie who is doing more to
disrupt dem cracy than all of the
republicans in the state. 1t is very
essential to their interests that Nc
Dowell's course be endorsed and
that democratic newspapers be
boycotted. We publish the above
resolutions with pleasure aud con-
graduate ourselves upon the boycott.

ONE WORD 70 THE ALLIANCE.

GENTLEMEN, the BULLETIN has
nothing against the Farmers ALI
ance as body. We are in sympa-
thy with you. and it would give US
great pleasure to see you prosper
GUS. We have condemned the
leader of your order in Tennessee.
and we have condemned some of
the planks of the Ocala platform.
We are honest in what we say.
We believe Mcdowell to be bad
man; I'VE believe the sub-treasury and
land loan schemes class legislation.
Lay aside all prejudice. and follow
Us here just moment: Take your
land loan bill, for instance. This
bill provides that the government
shall loan money to a real estate
owner. What are you going to do
about the thousands of poor, honest
men who own no land2 You can
get money, but they cannot. Then,
take the sub-treasury bill. The
farmer who raises a certain kind of
produce can draw money from the
government and store his crop In
warehouse. A farmer who raises a
different crop from that specified IL
the bill cannot draw this money.
Is this right, is this just, is this
equal and exact justice to all and
special faYors to none? Your
good common sense, fellow citizens,
tells you that this is wrong and
contrary to the constitution of your
order. Think about these things,
study over them. The majority of
you are honest and anxious to do
right. but you are being duped and
imposed upon by scheming dema-
gogues. You will discover your
mistake sooner or later, and you
will regret ever having advocated
such infamous measures.

Killed About a Char.

James Brown Wood, colored, was shot
and killed at WhiteviIle last Saturday
night by Aleck Williamson, negro sa-
loon keeper. The trouble grew out of a
dispute about some cigars. From the
best inform alton the BULLETIN can gath
er, it seems that Williamson handed out
a box of cigars to a customer, and Wood
took one out. Williamson requested the
price of same or its return, when Wood
told him he was only joking and did re-
turn the cigar. About midnight the sa-
loon closed, and a crowd of negroes as
sembled in front of the door. The cigar
transaction was again brought up. One
word brought on another, until finally
Williamson pulled out his pistol and shot
Wood in the left breast, killing him al
most instantly. Williamson left imme-
diately. The Sheriff went down Monday
but was unable to learn of his! where
abouts The corporation of Whiteville,
we understand, offers a reward of $500
for Williamson's capture.

The No Pence Question Again.

EDITORS Bulletin noticed an
article in your issue OF the 7th inst,
from Mr.. @. A. Black in reply to
my letter of July 18th. 1t was
very we'll for Mr.. Black to say that
he was opposed to the no fence law,
for If he had not, any one would
haYe concluded from his letter that
he favored it. He says it Is a BEN
eft to the rich farmer who owns
large farms. That certainly don't
attach to any farmer in this county.
If there is any rich one l don't
know him, or at least any one that
is making money farming, unless it
is some of Mr.. Bla ck's little farmers
who have no rails or posts to wire
their places and raise their stock on
other peoples lands. If little
farmers, as he calls them, haven't
got rails or timber to make posts
out of to fence off little clover
patch for hogs, how in the name OF
common sense can Mr.. Black fence
200 acres to keep stock off of his
crop! I say if the small farmers
can't fence their little farms now,I
what will become IF them in the
next twenty years if we don't get
the no fence law? No, / never

to small farmers and reuters. The
renter who now lives in little log
cabin, in the midst of some rich
mans field has to toll to keep out
small farmers hogs that are driven
from home, because the owners OF
small farms have not rails sufficient
TO make a clover lot, much less to
have wire around the farm. Pass
the no fence law; let the land own

OF the renters raise their own meat

farmers of Hardeman County are

were three years ago, and with the
low price of cotton and a big crop

we can raise meat and stock. We

IT now seems that the Alliance
order will be shaken from center to
circumference by the advocates and
opponents of the sub~treasurY and
lard loan schemes. DR.. 9. w. Ma
cune is in favor of expelling every
member from the order who Is OPP
posed to either of the schemes. and
the mandate of the Texas Alliance
that the opposers of the fallacies
shall go has already been issued.
Such action evinces In unmlstaka-
bic terms the political features of
the order, and that freedom OF
speech and freedom of thought must
submit to the memorable decree.
Those who oppose the schemes and
yet acquiesce and remain within
the fold cannot boast that they are

gone forth that they must, or they
must not. "Choose ye this day

WE are sorry that every man in
Hardenan County could not hear
Col. Patterson last Saturday. His
remarks were earnest, plain and
forcible, and no honest man could
take exceptions to what he said.
Repl esentative men congregated
upon the streets during the after
noon and discussed the effects of
the speech. So far as we could
learn, it was the general opinion
that Col. Patterson had thrown new
light upon the the sub~treasury
plan and land loan scheme, and it
was conceded that his speech was
an honest effort of a pure democrat
to properly instruct his constituents.

In speaking Of the plan adopted
by the bureau to raise the amount
necessary to enable Kansas to make
display at the Worlds fair the Cap
ital says:
"The bureaus plan is fair and we'll
formulated. Only the most wealthy
and populous counties are asked to
contribute more than 81, 900. Shaw
nee's quota is the largest and
amounts to trifle over $4,000, less
than ten cents per capita Of popula-
ton"
The plan is fair enough as regards
the apportionment among the sever
al counties, and ten cents per capita
is certainly no hardship, but right
here is the difficulty. Instead of
each paying ten cents or paying in
proportion to the assessed valua-
ton of their property a few public
spirited individuals will be compelled
to pay it all and others equally in
terested will secure the same bene-
fits. It is the $40 or the $50 that
some will have to pay that we object
to. We have our ten cents ready
now. The Capital says further:
IF the people contribute now,
they will elect legislature and thus
reimburse themselves next year.
There is no more doubt about an ap-
preparation by the next Legislature
than there is that the legislature will
meet"
We have about concluded that
the Legislature is just as GER
tain as the historical petit jury.
Why was not the appropriation
made by the last legislature? Will
not the same obstacles be interposed
next time? The only equitable and
sure way is for the state to make
the appropriation. We do not wish
to be understood as discouraging any
plan for raising the amount neces-
saryto give us creditable display at
the Worlds fair, and we can assure
the state of Kansas that If the coun-
ties raise their proportion Trego will
be in it too. What we object to,
most seriously is the inequitable sys-
tenn whereby very few, compaiti-
vely, in every county, will be COM
PEELED to bear the entire burden IL
the amount IS raised
