LAWLESNESS.
Practiced Under the Shadow
Of our own Homes.

make mention through the
columns of the BULLETIN of
certain disgraceful, disrespect-
full and degrading conduct
INDUCED in by parties who
reside in the eastern portion
of Hardeman County, and to
irect the attention of our
officials to the same.
1t is a we'll known fact that
whiskey is manufactured and
sold in the locality mention
ed without license, contrary
to law and against the wishes
of the better class of citizens.
The following information
was furnished us by a reliable
gentleman, whose name we
withhold, but if necessary it
can be obtained by application
to this office: A few weeks
ago, an entertainment was
given at Evansville, in the
new school house and a large
audience was present. Two
different clans engaged in il
licit distillation of liquor,
were on the ground, and dis
posed of a quantity of their
poisonous fluid. Many of the
men became intoxicated, and
were so unruly that they
knocked down the stove pipe,
turned over benches, broke
the lock upon the door and
shattered the glass in the
window. Just as one of the
ladies advanced upon the
stage, the attention of the au-
dience was attracted by a per-
son climbing upon the door,
and drinking from a quart
bottle. Becoming disguised
with such conduct, several Of
the heads of families left with
their wives and children for
home.
The commencement eXer-
cises at Forest Hill and Fair
view were interfered with in
similar manner as at Grains
vile.
1t was hoped that the re-
cent raid made by the reve-
nue. officers would forever
hereafter put a stop to the il
licit liquor business; but it
seems such has not been the
case. If these violations of
the law are persisted in, the
people of self-respect and So
cial standing who reside in
that community, inform US
that they will be forced to
move to some other place,
giving as a reason that to re-
main under such influences
will be doing themselves and
their families an injustice.
In addition to this they con-
slider their lives and their
property unsafe. Threats are
frequently made that if any
information is divulged, and
the party is discovered, his
life will be taken and his
property destroyed. Pause
for a moment and think of
such a state of affairs. Gen
tlemen of Hardeman County,
if this business is not stopped
the morals of our young men
will be ruined, and the re-
suit will be that a hot bed
of vice, crime and corrup-
ton will flourish where
law, order and virtue should
prevail. 1t is the history of
all communities where illicit
whiskey is manufactured,
that the citizenship is degra-
ded and the lands soon go TO
wreck.

CRACK BEATEN FROM THE SCRATCH.

Chicago Tournament.

Zimmerman's Colors Lowered At the
Chicago Tournament.
CHICAGO, Aug. l0.-For the first time
during the l.. A. W. meet Zimmerman
was beaten from the scratch. John S.
johnson, the Minneapolis wonder assisted
by Tuttles Citizens and Kisely, accom-
plished his defeat in the fve-mile national
championship by crossing the tape an open
length ahead of the great New Yorker.
The Chicago riders set a fast pace for
Zimmerman for four miles, and bunch
of wheels kept the champion sprinting un.
til the upper turn was reached the last
time. There Zimmerman pulled away
for his final srurt with johnson after him.
The great distance and the manner in
which the pacemakers forced him cut
made his final effort, usually invincible,
comparatively weak, and johnson passed
him with ease.
Previous to this Zimmerman had won
three races-the quarter mile national
championship in 0:31 20; the one mile, or.
dinary national championship in $40, and
the third-n!le, scratch, in O:44 2-5. He did
not start in the handicaps The five mile
race saved the day from being dull, the
only brilliant feature being the work of
\. T. Crooks of Buffalo in the one and
two mile handle 'ps, both of which he
won. The crowd in attendance numbered
5000. and the track was fast and the
weather fine. Crooks mile with an ad-
vantage of fifty yards in 2:O7 Is was an
excellent performance and his two miles
in i:33 % in receipt of ninety yards was
very good.
The l-mile novice was won by Becker,
of Chicago in 2:42 As; the 1-mlie 2:40 class
by Kennedy, of Chicago, in 2:29 9-5; the
5-mjle national championship. won by
Johnson was made in 1910

ANACOSTIA.

The police Of this precinct threaten to
lay the weight of the vagrant law on those
loafers who infest the street corners of
Anacostia This mob of idlers has assumed
distressing proportions. The footwalk Of
Monroe street at the corner Of John and at
the intersection of Harrison is frequently
blockrded Beer. whisky and rank tobacco
fumes are the prevailing odors Ladies are
entering complaints. These corner statues
became so great a nuisance about one year
ago that they were suppressed for time
by the police. This surveillance was re-
Taxed, and the nuisance has again bobbed
up serenely.
A petition has been sent to the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad officials asking for the
abolition Of the bells at the Monroe street
grade crossing. Some time ago the question
of having the railroad keep a Waterman at
this important grade crossing was ag1tated.
The railroad compromised by putting up a
brass band of gongs, which ring some min
utes before the train arrives, and continue
to ring for the same length of time after 1t
has passed. The bells are objected to as a
nuisance, on the ground that because of
their long drawn ringing nobody looks
upon them as warning, and because they
disturb the harmony and quiet of the town
