IT is probable that there
will be an extra session OF
the legislature. The daily
expenses, while the legisla-
ture is in session, is about
81, 600. Should the necessi-
ty arise for the calling of an
extra session, it is evident
that the time consumed III
the gubernatorial matter will
be the cause.

IN Japan twelve hours con-
stitute a days work, and the
wage earners of that country
receive seven cents a day.
Japan has silver as its STAN
dard and the United States
has gold as its standard. La
borers of this country receive
a gread deal more for their
labor than those of Japan,
and when the volume OF sill
yer in this country was less,
the price paid laborers was
greater. 1t is indeed strange
if the unlimited coinage OF
silver would be a great boon
for the country, why the ma
tions which have silver as
their standard are not more
prosperous than those which
have gold as their standard.

The women of New York

The women of New York
opposed to the passage OF a
law permitting them to exer-
else the right of suffrage are
organizing for the purpose of
defeating the efforts of those
of their sex who desire to be
permitted to vote. The fact
that southern women desire
no such right is one of tire
greatest ecomiums that could
be passed upon them. Should
political rascality continue
to increase, the day is not far
distant when old bachelors
will petition that the right TO
vote be denied them. We
are now rapidly nearing that
point, too.

And it is also bad on those
unlimited free silver jour
nails which while declaring
that the low price of cotton

ton of silver are advising
the farmers to reduce their
acreage of cotton. If the de-
monitization of silver has
caused low prices, it is
strange that there is Use in

also strange that if the de-

A West TenneSSeQn Comes
Back After o. Iona Absence,

Dan Robertson, after being alb
sent from this state and the home
of his childhood twenty-six years, re-
turned to West Tennessee and to
Jackson last Thursday. Mr.. Rob
ertsOn was a merchant at Salisbury,
Tenn, when young man and
about twenty-six years ago went
west. He roamed and travelled
widely and while away, visited Ari-
IONA, Australia, Central America,
but made his home in New Mexico
most of the time and has prospered
reasonably well. All of Robert
sons relatives concluded he
was dead. On last Thursday morn
ing, he appeared unannOunced at
w. f. McCarley's residence on
Highland Avenue where his sister,
Mrs. Fannie McCarley, lives and
his mother, Mrs. G. Z. Robertson
was visiting.
Mr.. Robertson was not recogni-
ned by his mother at first, but
when he made himself known, she
was delighted beyond expression.
Mr.. Robertson is about ffty-five
years of age and has no family. He
will visit sisters and other relatives
at Medina, Milan and Dyersburg
for a few days and will then re-
turn to his far western home TO look
after his stock interests. Mr.. Rob
ertson is an uncle of our townsman,
w. f. Mccartney. He left yester-
day to visit relatives. Wing.

The BULLETIN is very
much in favor of the propo-
sed Tennessee Centennial, but
it doubts the propriety of the
legislature appropriating the
peoples money for the CEN
tennial cause, which was coll
lected for another purpose or
purposes. In the event of
an appropriation of$3OOO, 600,
it is reasonable to suppose
that the most of that amount
would be expended in the
erection ofmagnificent build
ings in the city of Nashville,
ard that very little, if any,
would be used in defraying
the expenses of the exhibi-
tors on their property to that
city. In fact tee centennial
would benefit Nashville by
far NOSE than any other por-
ton of the State, and in or
der to equalize matters that
city should pay that part OF
the expenses in proportion
to the benefits that it would
receive. The practice of APP
prOpriating the peoples funds
for causes other than for
which the tax was levied has
grown to be entire.ytOo COM
mon. Instead of our repre-
Sentatives in congress, as well
as those of the legislature OF
the several states, econOmi-
zing and curtailing expen-
ses, the spirit of profligacy
seems to be gathering
strength. Taxes cannot be
reduced unless there is a re-
duction in the running expen-
ses. If a sufficient amount can
be raised by voluntary contri-
buttons, which is the only
equitable way that would be
an evidence that the people
favored it, and if the amount
could not be raised it would
be taken for granted that
they were opposed to contri-
buting their money for that
purpose.

.iect of the law was to give to
the debtor the right of pos
session to property foreclosed
under mortgage for eighteen
months after the indebted
ness secured had expired.
The law was to apply to
mortgages already given as
well as to those to be given
in the future. The Supreme
Court of that state has re-
Gently decided the act to be
unconstitutional in so far as it
related to contracts made
prior to its passage. The
court held that the laws
in force at the time the
contracts were made is not
impaired by any sub
sequent change or modifica-
ton of the law governing
contracts. The decision will
be Endorsed by all who fa-
vor equity and fair dealing.
1t will be readily seen that il
\ the courts were to decide
that the legislatures of the
several states had the power
to alnul contracts made il
conformity, with existing
laws that all business transac
tons of credit would, in tina
event, be left discretionary
with the Legislators as t.
whether or not they woulC

a political crime second only
to the presidential theft
when Tilden was deprived of
an office to which he was le-

ASSIST NATURE 4 LITTLE.
THUS AVOID DANGER.
Stimulate the Liver and Cure C0nsti-
patton with DR.. HOward's Specific.
lone Tiny Pill Is the Dose.

Nothing SO surely leads to serious
sickness as constipation. Does it not
stand to reason that if waste matter is
confined in the system, it will poison
the blood I? Aid nature to rid the bow
els of this by using DR.. Howards spe-
cific for the cure of constipation and
dyspepsia, and what feeling of health
and yigor results!
This scientific specific of DR.. How
ards isvery popular in w. Randolph,
and many business men carry a vial of
it in the vest pocket, so as to have it
handy after luncheon or dinner.
With the women it is great favor
ite, having superseded in great
measure the mineral waters, laxative
teas and ordinary pills that were so
largely used before the specific was
known. For sick and bilious head
ache, dizziness, costiyeness, sour stom-
ach, coated tongue, indigestion, heart
burn, pain and distress after eating,
and similar trouble caused by tor
pid liver, poor digestion, or constipa-
ton, DR.. Howard's specific is posi-
tive relief. One of the tiny pills TAX
Ell after each meal and on retiring will
make the bowels regular and natural
as no other medicine can do.
E. +. Evans ~ Co. have sold scores
of packages of Dr. Howard's specific
in the last few months, and the sale is
rapidly increasing. The best-known
people in w. Randolph use and rec
ommend it, and say they would not
be without it. 1t is the purest and
most concentrated laxative known, ,one
tiny pill being dose. Remember that
there is no other medicine that is like
this specific of DR.. Howard's. Its for
mula is furnished to physicians, and
as a result, they prescribe it largely.
Do not delay purchasing package.
Begin using it to-day, and you will
soon see that it is truly remarkable
discovery that is far ahead of the or
dinary remedies.

new DYES FOR COTTON.
Beautiful and Brilliant CoIors Thai
Do Not Fade.
Scientific Discoveries That Tighten
Labor.--AsWeaver's Experience in
Dyeing. .--Carpets Where the Color
Stays as Bright as When New.

Within the last few years science has
been at work in the matter of dyeing
and the results are the fast diamond
dyes for cotton-turkey red, pink, pur-
pie, orange, olive green, brown, etc.
These dyes make colors SO fast that
even washing in strong soapsuds will
not start them. If a woman is sure to
get the fast diamond dyes for cotton
when she wants to dye cotton, she will
be able to dye absolutely fast, nom
fading colors that will stay until the
goods are worn out.
A practical dyer, writing in the
Weacers' Herdld, says: 81 used to dye
with roots and barks, but after all my
work, land it was tedious job | was
not satisfied, for the colors were
homely and often faded. AT last
commenced to use diamond dyes. and
the process isso simple and easy that
the work is pleasure. | have used
carpets made of rags dyed with dia-
mond dyes for three years, and the
colors are still as bright as swhen new"
Many of the diamond dye fast cot
ton colors are so superior to other dye
stuffs that they are used by dyers
everywhere, even in the big mills and
the large dye houses. lmitiators of
these reliable dyes may claim that
their cotton dyes are 'just as good"
but practical tests prove the diamond
is the only kind that makes colors
which soap will not wash out or sun
light fade.
The diamond dyes come in nearly
fifty different colors, for silk, wool and
cotton, and will dye anything from a
pair of stockings to dress or cloak.

The Christian world has been deep.

ere of Armenians by Turks and
Kurds. If half of what is told is true,
we may well inquire whether we are
living in the dark ages or in an era
when civilization and humanitarian-
ism are supposed to be ascendant. The
chief offense of these Armenians seems
to be that, in the heart of Moham-
mechanism, they dare to be Christians.
Theirs was the first nation to openly
embrace Christianity. They pride
themselves on their long continued de-
votion to doctrines which have often
exposed them to merciless oppression.
They are denied the possession of
arms to defend themselves. FIRE.
quently they are attacked in their vii
lages by Moslems and maltreated or
slain. Wives and children are ex-
posed to the most horrible fate at the

civilized Kurds. 1t is plain, too, that
the sultan sanctions these outrages. He
should be called to account in the
