WMteUiNe Notes.

There is not a town in Hardeman
County in which there are as many
new residences as In Whiteville.
Not only las it made rapid strides
within the last two years in the in
crease of residences and business
houses, but there is no abatement in
its steady and healthy growth. Last
week two lots, lying in the southern
part of town, were purchased by
Messrs. Albert and CASTOR Rhodes,
on which elegant residences will be
erected, and will be the future
homes of the purchasers. The lots
were purchased of w. i. Cross.
The lot between w, |. Gates drug
store and M, w. Prewitt's was also
purchased by Mr.. Albert Rhodes,
and the prospects are that a brick
building, to be used as banking
establishment, will soon grace it.
Several have already indicated
Willingness to take stock and aid
in the establishment of bank in
that place. Lumber for the build
ing of new Methodist Church has
been purchased, and carpenters en-
gagged to complete the building be-
gan work last Monday. DR.. w. S.
Cock, a deseryedly popular pAysi-
clan and surgeon Of that town, has
purchased the dwelling near the
school house, formerly owned by
Mrs. Jane Price, and will move his
family into same after it has been 50
remodeled as to make a comfortable
and cosy home. The Duncan
House has been much. improved in
appearance by the addition Of a
commodious dining room. This
addition was rendered necessary be
cause Of the increase in patronage.

B. NJ. Hatcher, q Former Citi-
zen of Bolivar, Shot.

Last Monday morning, W. a.
Boyls, a young man about 10 years
of AGE, shot 3. I'll. Hatcher at Ce-
dar Chapel. The shooting occurred
at Boyls' fathers. The weapon
used was a rifle, loaded with shot.
Boyls was brought to Bolivar and
confined in jail, to await the re-
suit of Hatcher's injuries.
A representative of the BULLETIN
interviewed Boyls. at the jail Tues
day. His statement of the affair
is substantially as follows: ''Mr.
Hatcher, accompanied by some
friends, came to our house Monday
morning to correct, so he said, some
reports that had been circulated
throughout the neighborhood in re-
gard to his character. NY father
and myself were engaged in some
outdoor work. Hatcher walked in
to the house and commenced to
abuse my step mother. When |
entered, l found him with a chair
drawn over her, and / commanded
him to leave. He thereupon turned
upon me, drew knife, caught me
by the shoulders and pushed me
against bed. About this time,
my father appeared and directed his
attention. In the mean time, ] got
up, went behind the bed, picked up
a rife loaded with shot and fred
upon him, His side vas turned to
me when 7 fred
Young Boyls seemed to regret
the affair. lie stated that lie was
a friend of Hatcher, and that his
action was prompted purely by self
defense.
About ten years ago, we under
stand, Mr.. Hatcher was a resident
of Bolivar, and bore the reputation
Of good citizen. We are glad to
state that his wound is not consider
ed dangerous.

Catron and the Gold Platform Re-
pudiated.
The Oldest and most Influential Repub-
lican Newspaper IN New Mexico
IL Supporting FERGUSON.

"The Optic has come to the parting OF
the ways. Through no action OF its own,
but in contravention Of its earnest and
emphatic teachings this paper has been
placed in a position where it must stul-
tify its own Inheritance and sacrifice what
it believes to be the vital interests OF the
people OF New Mexico, or else it must
sunder, for the time being at least, the
ties OF fealtv which bind it to the Repub-
lican party Of New Mexico, and to the
candidate OF that party for delegate to
congress.
"No one, who has watched the policy
and practices OF this paper, during the
nearly twenty years OF its career, can
doubt ior moment what its course will
be when forced into the position but just
enunciated. The Optic is the peoples
paper. Such has been its claim and aim
during all the years of its laborious life !:
and it would but little deserve the title
it has assumed and the place it has filled
in the hearts OF the people did it now
sacrifice their dearest interest to the
mere fetch OF party organization and
party success. Once before was the ne
cessty forced upon US, when the party
nomination was given to man at the
dlctation OF the bosses totally unquai-
fled for the place. The Optic did not
hesitate to take the side OF the people,
as against machine politics; and we
have never regretted our action from
that day to this. The result more than
proved the wisdom OF our course,
"Republlcanlsm, as the principles OF a
great party, was born in the effort to
rescue the dOwn-trodden masses from
the avarlcious grasp OF the money power.
And this 1t accomplished, although
compelled to carry forward the greatest
internicine war in the history OF the
world. For that party now TO become
the subservient instrument in fastening
upon the laborers of the land slavery
more calling and hopeless than the
south ever knew, is to forget its tradi-
tions, blaspheme its fathers, sully its
escutrheon and blot out its glorious

this " no dares; the Optic will not. We
are compelled, therefore, to announce,
sadly but firmly, that we can not ac-
cept the platform promulgated by the
Republican party at its recent terrltor-
ial convention in Las Vegas and we will
not support its candidate for the con-
gressional delegateship. We take this
position because OF both the platform
AMI the candidate.
"for mass OF Inconsistencies and
contradictions, commends us to this
platform. 1t is the very acme ef absur-
dlty. Human ingenuity could not COM
bine more opposite and irreconclable
positions, or bring together propositions
which 50 absolutely stulufy and con-
found one another. One thing, how
ever, it means and says, and that is that
it indOrses the st. Louis platform, pledg-
ing this nation to the maintenance Of
the present gold standard, with all its
horrors OF u contracting currency and
declining prices, till foreign permission

ey OF the constitution and the practice {
OF our fathers.
at is well unde erstood that Mr.. Cat

run on such platform. That he subse-
quenlly chose to eat his own words,
lalsliy his own assertion, and do the
very thing he SAID he would not do, is
assuredly privilege OF which he can

co IN particular. MIR. Calron and his
platform oppose this, and therefore we
oppose HIM.
"In addition to this, Mr.. Catron has
shown his incompetency TO serve New
Mexico, as her delegate in congress.
We say this regretlully and in wrath.
Two years ago, no man or paper in the
territory gave the Republican candidate
a more hearty, sincere, laborlous, faith
inl AND competent support than was
given him by the Optic. Our hopes
The eagle. (Silver City, N.M.) 1894-1???, 1896-10-14

were high, our anticipation large, our
prediction bOundless. We believe with
him that there was scaracely any limit
to the good things he would do and Sc
cure lor New Mexico. But the zenith
and nadlr are not farther apart than
have proved the promises Mr.. Catron
made and the things he has actually ac-
complished.
"The most inveterate enemy Of Hon.
7. b. Catron can not deny him brains
and energy; nor can his most devoted
admirer claim that his congressional
record was other than failure. Take
away the anli'prize fight law, and the

government places, and the record OF
Mr. Catrons accomplishment is as
blank as Il page Of unwritten paper.
Whatever the cause, this Is a TACT. His
ability and energy, coniessedly great,
may not have been adapted to the work
OF delegate. His time may have been
so engrossed by the needs OF his numer-
Gus clients here at home, that he could
not bring his brains and energy to

may be that he found pleading law be-
