COAL-BLACK WOMAN
DOCTOR.
Miss Grier the First Negress Id
mitted to Practice in Georgia
Educated in Philadelphia.

ATLANTA, Oct. l2.-Eliza Ann
Grier, a coal-black negress, was
licensed to practice medicine today
by the board of state medical ex-
aminers.
The board of white physicians
were astonished when the negress
presented herself for examination.
1t was the first application made to
the board by a woman of her race,
and she is the first colored woman
admitted to practice in the state.
She presented a diploma from the
Woman's Medical college of Phila-
delphia and was found to be
thoroughly informed in her pro-
fession.
DR.. Grier said to World cor
respondent:
"When / saw colored women
doing all the work in cases of &C.
conchment and the fee going to
some white doctor who merely
looked on l asked myself why
should l not get the fee myself. For
this purpose 1 have qualified. 1
went to Philadelphia, studied medi-
cine hard, procured my degree, and
have come back to Atlanta, where
1 have lived all my life, to practice
nv profession. Some of the best
white doctors in the city have
welcomed me, and say that they
win give me an even chance in the
profession. That Is all / ask"
DIR. Grier is a woman of quick
wit, speaking well and giving evil
dence of good education. She will
hang out her single for general
practice and says she will make no
discrimination on account of color.

The tables are turning
'sThere is q time to come when
all the heterogeneous and discord-
ant, uninspired systems of political
and religious government vii fall
to the groundand give place to the
paternal government of Jehovah
whose right it is to reign :
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1897-10-23

THE children of God, invested with
the authority of the royal priest
hood of Melchisedec and Aaron,
will administer In all the affairs of
government, spiritual and temporal,
under the titles and dignity of
tsKings and Priests of God. '"-l4
/ MI. Star, 248.
"An governments that have not
been theoretical in their nature,
but have been organized in a greater
or less degree by mans wisdom
will be done away."-3 Jour. of
Dis, 20.
Notwithstanding this we affirm
our loyalty to the United States
government because it is best
adapted to aid in establishing the
more perfect kingdom of God. 1t
is true that:
"O all governments that have
arisen among men, there were
none so great and good as the gov.
eminent of the United States, and
yet the government of God in its
very infancy was greater than it. d
8 Jour. Of Dis, 70.
"God has commanded to set up
His kingdom on the earth and all
hell and its devils are moving
against it. "-5 Jour. Of Dis, rs.
"When the United States has
done their best, then other nations
will tackle us, and so things will
go on until every nation is brought
into subsection to the kingdom of
God. "-5 Jour. Of Dis, 275.
God, through ais priesthood, has
been continually preparing the
way for the establishment of His
kingdom since the restoration of
his priesthood in these latter days.
The Manifesto is but one step as
statehood was another in the pre-
paration for the time when God 5
will shall be supreme upon this
earth, and He acknowledged by the
Theo- Democracy as the law giver.
Do we intend, then, to over
thruw all earthly governments?
Are we reasonable toward the
the United States? OF course not.
We believe the Constitution of the
United States divinely inspired and
for the very purpose of protecting
and aiding in the protection of
those who are doing Gods will.
"That kingdom grows out of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
day Saints. but it IS not the
church. % Jour. of Dis, 80.
Thus you will see that we as
Latter-day Saints draw finer dis
tinctions between church and state
than any other people.
To be continued.

IT makes no difference whether
great fish swallowed Jonah or
not. No man is better for believ-
ing the story and no man is worse
for not believing it. Christ used
fiction in parallels in his 6iscourses.
Some people may be disturbed be-
cause they cannot bring themselves
to believe the whale story. They
should not go on their knees and
ask to be coerced into believing It.

The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1897-02-19

THE evidence taken this week in
the Patterson-Carmack contested
election case, as regards Hardeman
county, has failed to sustain the al
legations of the contestee, save to
verify the admitted fact that poll
taxes were paid by others than those
to whom receipts were issued. In
truth, the chief result of the inves-
tigation was, that the leaders of the
cause of Mr.. Carmack had them
selves paid the poll taxes of his
friends. Among other witnesses ex-
amined was Mr.. r. n. Mitchell,
Trustee of Hardeman county, who
was questioned at some length in re-
gard to the payment of the poll tax
es prior to the late election. He tes-
titled that a number of gentlemen
had paid taxes for different parties.
Upon cross-examination he admitted
that such had been the custom here
in former years. He further testi-
fed that during his official career as
Trustee, he had always made it a
rule to receive money for poll taxes
no matter by whom rendered, and
he proposed to adhere to it. 1t is
not the purpose of THE BULLETIN
in this article to discuss the merits
or dement's of this contest, but we
simply desire to state fact, and that
is, that the late eletion in Hardeman
county, in the main, was fairly con-
Quoted. 1t is possible that some
few illegal votes were cast. Such is
the case at every election every
where. No doubt some of these
votes were cast for the contestee
and some for the contestant, but
from the most reliable information
obtainable, the sum total of these
illegal votes will hardly exceed a
bakers dozen. The truth about the
matter is, there was no necessity for
any investigation as to the result of
the election held in Hardeman coun-
ty. Mr.. Carmack's wholesale charges
of fraud against the fair name of
Hardeman have failed of proof. The
whole investigation here was per-
feet farce.

ST. KATHARWE'S SCHOOL.

THE following article is copied
from "THE Echo"
Prior to, and Immediately
after the civil war, Bolivar
was accounted as one of the
impregnable strongholds OF
the Church, and its work and
influence were not merely OF
a local character, but extend
ed far beyond the confines of
Tennessee. During this pc
riod of prosperity and relig-
ious activity, the people en-
.ioyed for twenty-one years
the earnest and devoted min
istrations of Rev. DR.. w. c..
Gray now Missionary Bish-
op of Southern Florida) who,
as their Rector, labored tire
lessly for the upbuilding of
st. James Parish, and to him,
more than to any other eath=
ly agency, is the Church in
debted for the noble work
begun and faithfully carried
on. He early conceived the
idea of establishing a Church
School for Girls and his wish
found modest realization
when a day school was OPEN
ed in February, 1872, in a
cottage owned by DR.. Gray
and situated in the north
eastern portion of the town.
1t was called st. James
Church School for Girls, and
Miss Mary McAnally was its
first and highly efficient Prin-
cipal, her efforts being warm
ly seconded by the Rector.
The organization of the
school, its methods and lofty
purposes, at once appealed to
the people of Bolivar, and
this new and most worthy
enterprise received from the
first the hearty cooperation
of it's patrons and the loyal
support and encouragement
of the Church. 1t is anthem
tically related that fourteen
girls from church families,
who had been pupils of the
Public School during the first
half of the scholastic year
