PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

feast. Often on the completion of
a new dwelling they must have big
one, lasting two or three days, or at
least until the food is eaten; frequent
ly killing a horse andthey will never
let up until every morscl Of the
animal is gone. By invitation par
took of the following bounties at a
feast held in nice shady grove,
where mother earth was used for
table, on which the viands were
placed. Mats were spread on the
ground for table-cloths. There were
800 plates, 900 bowls of Poi, 8
roasted hogs, beef, IL turkeys and
as many ducks. All these were
dissected into small pieces before
being placed on the table, if / may
SO call it, and besides all these lux
uries there were one hundred raw
fish weighing from three to four
pounds each, having just been taken
from their watery home, 900 bowls
of custard, pumpkin pies, 100
loaves Of bakers bread and an almost
endless amount of buns and other
sweetmeats.
When everything was ready, the
guests took seats on mats spread on
the ground around the food, dressed
in their best. Many Of the ladies
wore their silk and satin gowns,
while the men were dressed in white
linen pants. A more merry jolly
and jovial crowd Of human beings,
never Witnessed; all enjoying their
feast of fat things and during all this
I did not see knife, fork, spoon or
anything else, except their fingers,
used to eat with, and while eating
they we're talking and laughing all
the time. They say they enjoy their
food better and think it tends to
health to have lively and pleasant
conversation while eating. We
elders, while mingling with and
preaching to them, ate of their food,
but instead of using our fingers as
they did, we were always furnished
knives, forks and spoons.

IT is presumable that the
principal cause ofthe Water
loo that befelI the democratic
party In the last election was
the failure Of congress to re-
deem all pledges made. But
the record of the present
congress is an evidence that
if dissatisfaction was caused
by the democratic congress
in not accomplishing what
it should, it would be very
unwise to trust the republic
cans with efiecting desired
legislation. Though the
present session is drawing to
a close, no legislation, exc
cept of local nature, has been
enacted. But as an eXpend-
er of revenue, the present
congress has sustained the
party's reputation. So far
the appropriations have
reached about $500,000,000,
and yet there are nine thou
sand applicants for pensions.
For extravaganza and as an
advocate for paternalism the
republican party has no equal.
1t is therefore strange why
others than the protected and
pensioned classes can hope
for a betterment of their con-
dition by the return of that
party to power.

During the winter of 1898, T..
M. Martin, of Long Reach, West
Va, contracted a severe cold
which left him with a cough. In
speaking of how he cured it he
says: 81 used several kinds of
cough syrup but found no relief un-
til l bought bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, which re-
lieved me almost instantly, and in
short time brought about a COM
plete cure" When troubled with
cough or cold use this remedy and
you will not find it necessary TO
try several kinds before you get
relief. 1t has been in the market
for over twenty years and constant
ly grows in favor and popularity.

ONE of the most Pitiable
objects of which we can con-
ceive, is a person who sits
down and waits for the gov
eminent to support him.
Stop and think for a mo-
ment: A man in the full en-
ioyment of health, in the
prime of life, with the broad
world of business open to
him, content to. remain in
idleness and to rely upon the
government under which he
lives to take care Of him and
his family! Such a person
is as much to be pitied as the
lame, the halt or the blind.
He lacks the manhood, the
nerve, the grit to get out in
the world and compete
with his fellow man. He
can be likened to an indul-
gent child, whose every
wish has been granted, and
who, upon reaching the age
of maturity, continues to
look to his parents for sup
port. The BULLETIN regrets
to state that our own beauti-
full little city of Bolivar con-
tains some of the above men,
toned men (?) continual,
persistent office seekers.
Those who deserve the name
of man are dependent upon
no government for aid or as
sistance. They rely upon
their own individual efforts.
Wards of any government
lose their individuality, their
manhood and their identity. |

EDITORS BULLETIN:-In view of
the fact that the community in
which l live indorses the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 TO by decided ma
jority, l have tried hard to be an
advocate of that principle; but, as
yet, have been unable to indorse
this measure unless there was an in
ternatIonal agreement on same.
Since / cannot honestly indorse
this proposition / wish to explain
my position to some extent through
the columns of your paper. In the
first place, / do not profess to be a
graduate in financial affairs at all,
nor do / claim to be posted on the
matter; but from what am able to
comprehend, it seems clear to my
mind that, while there is something
radically wrong with the financeer-
ing of our government, it's not due
to the fact that we do not have the
coinage of silver as above stated.
We must take into consideration the
very extravagant legislation which
preceded the present administra-
ton had contracted and obligated
the government to sustain. We
might as we'll expect a receiver of
a badly bankrupt estate to take
charge of same and place it on
sound financial basis in very short
length of time when the liabilities
of the estate were largely in excess.

istration to correct in four years all
the errors and corrupt legislation of
the republican party for thirty
years. Our representatives are ac-
cused by some of being the victims
of 'Wall Street, etc. They
abuse Patterson for changing his
views on finance and abuse Cleve-
land for not changing his. We

In MemOHdm.

Jas. J. Nicely was born in Boil
var, July 31st., 1865. He was the
youngest child of DR.. Jas. J. and
Mrs. Fannie L. Nicely. He was
baptized in ST. James Church and
as he grew up was regular atten-
dant on its services. Having fine
voice and being a great lover of
music, he was a valuable addition
to the choir for several years. As
he grew older, he found that he
would have to leave home to acquire
that independence he so much de-
sired. He went West. While
there he met with painful acct
dent which rendered him unable to
work. His father died. Broken
IN health and feeling that the end
was near, he came back to his wild
owed mother that the lonely
path toward the shadow of death
might be cheered by the light and
love Of home. We feel tits true
but no one except He, who created
the mother-heart, can know the bit
terness of the memory to her, that
after all she could not be with him
at the last. He was cheerful and
patient. His suffering increased
and it was thought best to have
him go to hospital for treatment.
He went to New Orleans but it was
too late. He died of Spinal Clero-
sis April IL, 1896. The body was
brought back to his home and laid
before the altar where he had in
infancy been received into the Ark
of Christ's Church. To the be-
reaved family we extend our sincere
sympathy, praying that the God of
all comfort will give to them in this
sore trial and sorrow that ''peace
which passeth all understanding. y

two sides to all questions" and while
lido not charge this being the motives
Of the leaders of free silver, claim
that we have as much right to do
this as they have to say that the
gold leaders have sold out. / am
willing to admit that the Is to I
people are honest In their views
and claim the same consideration
at their hands. The present adj
ministration took charge of deple-
ted treasury, which was and is bur-
dened with many extravagant obi
cations, and in accordance with the
principles of the democratic party
il made quite a reduction in the
tariff revenue. This was right but
on the other hand the extravagant
appropriations, salaries, pension
rolls, ETC., have been allowed to
continue and in many instances in
crease until the conditions are
alarming. We must cut down our
expenses or increase our resources,
must balance up accounts. Last
summer when money seemed so
scarce hard times was all the talk
with us, but after a while our
strawberry crop came in. Agents
of mercantile concerns from Chica-
90 and other northern cities came
here, deposited the ready cash and
solicited shipments. Berries, veee-
tables and fruits were shipped and
good times were here. Men, women
and children had money. Every
one felt good and it seemed that the
world was full of money, as COM
pared to few days previous to the
shipping of berries and fruits. Had
we not had these products we would
never have seen any of the money.
We must produce something to
command money. Some say we
can't sell cotton and corn for what
it takes TO produce it. The trouble
is we make too much cotton. Keep
your corn, raise your meat, horses,
mules and COWS, cut down your
cotton acreage and decrease the
supply and up goes the price; plant
vegetables, fruits, berries, etc. +;
build canning factories, manufacto-
ries, etc., that will utilize the raw
material which we can SO abundantly
produce. "Get a move on our
selves" and money will come to see
us all. We need enterprise, push,
energy and economy. When we
get this the world Will gaze upon
us and this southland of ours in adj
miration. IT'S our fault, not
Cleveland's and Patterson's, for
were we to do our part, they could
not hurt us if they so desired, We
would be Independent of them and
their actions. Cleveland, Carlisle
and Patterson are strong, honest and
brave men, and while they may not
be appreciated now as they should
they will go down in history as be-
ing the grandest men of the
nation. So much for my judgment.
If l am wrong, l ask the sympathy
and pardon of those who do not
agree with me, at the same time
assuring them that the democratic
ticket has never been scratched by
me and that none of them will sup
port the nominees of the party more
earnestly than /.

ced that for the furtherance
Of the cause of the silver
mine owners they do not rely
upon historical facts. Their
stock in trade is mere de-
claration and assumption.
For instance from that source
the assertion is made that
there has been a depreciation
i'm prices, and invariably the
cause attributed is the want
of more money. Several
hundred year, ago, the Sa-
vior was crucified, and as the
volume of the currency is
greater now than at any 9TH
er period in the history of
this country, there is just
about as much reason in
charginga depreciation in pri-
ces to the need of more
money as to charge that the
crucifixion would not have
occurred but for the flood.
There is reason in all things.
In fact the human race has
been endowed with reason=
ing faculties, and because of
this fact the untenable-
ness of the position of the
silverites is apparent. If
prices were dearer when the
volume of the currency was
less, and if the volume con-
trolls prices, it is evident that
the silverites are enemies and
not friends of the people be-
cause prices were higher
when the volume of the cur
rency was by far less than
at present. In determining
prices there is another and
more potent factor than the
currency, and that is the cost
of production. The ingenui-
ty Of man has been the in-
strumentality in the inven-
tion OF labor saving machines,
and in almost every avoca-
ton of life these machines
are being operated. The
mower, rake and self-binder
have not only caused a cheap
ening of production of gras-
ses and grain, butan increase
in acreage and a decrease in
the demand for labor. The
cotton and corn planters and
cultivators have been instru-
mental in increasing the
acreage of both corn and cot
ton and also in lessening
the cost of production and
the demand for labor. With
an increase in acreage, a de-
crease in the cost of produc-
ton, it is reasonable to sup
pose that there would be a
decrease in the price of the
product produced. But it is
nothing less than a presump-
ton on ignorance to assert
that the volume OF the cur-
rency alone controls prices.
