The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1897-12-24

The following remarks
were delivered by the Hon.
Hector d. Lane before the
Cotton Growers Convention
in Memphis this week:
"Under prevailing conditions, the
product of our toll is no longer adj
equate to our subsistence. Prevail
ing prices are below the cost of pro-
duction. With surplus of several
millions annually, which is an able
coadjutor of the cotton 'bear,' the
law of supply and demand has been
displaced and in its stead interposes
the result attained by this CONNER
cial fakir and fim-fam artist.
Statistics show that there has been
a great falling off in speculative
gambling in cotton futures in the last
several years, consequent upon the
small crops, for as the visible sup
ply diminished the power of man
ipulation weakened.

n-ReSident Notice.

In the Circuit Court of Hardeman
County, Tennessee-Belle Fulker-
son VS.. Monroe Fulkerson-Peti-
ton for Divorce.
In this cause it appears from the
petition, which is sworn to, that the
defendant, Monroe Fulkerson is
nonresident of the State of Tennes-
see and is now a resident of the city
of Chicago, State of Illinois. 1t is
therefore ordered that publication
be made in the BOLIVAR BULLETIN,
newspaper published in the town
of Bolivar, Hardeman County, Ten
nessee, for four successive weeks,
requiring the defendant to make his
personal appearance and defend this
cause, within the first three days of
the next term of the Circuit Court,
to be held at the Court House in the
town of Bolivar, Tenn, on the first
Tuesday in January, 1898, or the
same will be taken for confessed as
to him and proceeded with ex parte.
This Dec. 4th, 1897.

Gen. RObt. E. Lee.

Senator Benz. Hill said over
twenty years ago that when the
future historian comes to write
the history of Lee, it would rise
like huge mountain above that of
the other Generals of the Civil War.
Only few days ago President E.
Benjamin Andrews, of Chicago,
said:
"Gen. Lee joined the Confeder-
acy because Virginia asked him to.
He was a Virginian. The call of
Virginia to all of her sons is the
voice of law and duty. He had the
faith of the crusader; his letters
would make a guide to holiness.
He was alwayssa soldier, never i'm
pure in thought or act, never pro-
fame or obscene. He did not touch
the cup, as did Grant, Hooper or
Phil Sheridan, and when he lost a
fight it was never said of him that
the defeat was due to a habit which
make mems heads into muddles. He
was never out-generaled by Grant in
all the campaign from Rappahan-
mock to the James River, never
caught mapping. 1t usually happen
ed that when the men on our side
ordered a march at 5 in the morning
they never made more than half the
distance between the two armies.
Lee had ordered an advance at $3.50.
81 fail to find in the books any
such masterful generalship as this
hero showed, holding that slim gray
line, half starved with no prospects
of additions, and fighting when his
army was too hungry to stand and
the rifles were only useful as clubs
His courage was sublime. He was
as great as Gustavus Adolphus, or
Napoleon, or Wellington or Won
Moltke. His cause is not the lost
cause so much as is expected. All
that was good in his cause has been
grated into our laws and our Con-
stitution. The doctrine of States
rights, as now interpreted by the
Supreme Court, is in exact accord
ance with his claims on the point"

Tennessee's Troubles.

Nashville, Dec. IS.-The fiscal
year of the State ends tomorrow.
The State treasurer has borrowed
so far this year $500, 900. If this
money had not been borrowed there
would have been a deficit tomorrow
of $472, OO6.lO.
And the end is not yet. On Jan
uary l, interest on the State debt,
amounting to 1920, 900, will fall due.
There is now balance in the treas
ury of $27,993.9O, but there is
enough floating Indebtedness to con-
sumo this.
There are quite a number of pen
itentiarY Migrants outstanding, and
a considerable amount will be due
the various State charitable institu-
tions on the first of next month.
Therefore it seems the State must
borrow more money before that
time. The funding board is at a
loss to known right now how much
money will have to be borrowed.
1t looks very much as if money
to the amount of about $500, 900
will have to be borrowed.
During the year the State receiv-
ed $3.50, O97.92 from the work of
convicts, and expended $l73, 8a4. 63
for convicts.
Receipts from trustees and county
clerks show a falling off for the
year.
Criminal prosecutions cost $40,
925.3s more this year than last.

The States Finances.

he IOllOWlnS arClcle from
the Nashville Banner con-
tains good, sound sense, and
deserves to be read carefully
by every Tennesseean who
has the welfare of his state at
heart:
The condition of the state treas
ury is such as to call for serious at
tention. The state has borrowed
thus far this year $500, 900, and it
will probably be necessary TO bor-
row as much as $500, 900 more to
meet the January interest on the
bonded debt and current obligations
that will then be due. Meanwhile
nothing has been done by the state
government to reduce the heavy
bonded debt of about $4,000, 900.
The politicians have been running
things and the state has had no COM
nonsense business management of
It's affairs. We go along as though
we had nothing to do as a common
wealth except to tax people and
keep up costly fee system for the
benefit of the office-holders. We
have governors that do not give a
thought to the betterment of our af-
fairs, and concern themselves not
with the subject Of the states great
Indebtedness. We have incapable
Legislatures which not only make
no effort to provide for a reduction
of the debt, but which increase the
states expenses by making new Of
ficers and experimenting for political
effect with the states revenues by
reducing the taxation rate at time
when the state most needs money.
Our legislatures are, miserably blund-
ering and inexcusably careless in
their dealing with the states fnan-
cial needs, and prove themselves in
capable of discovering the real con-
ditions of the treasury. At the last
session a whole term was wasted by
a committee in an unavaling attempt
to understand and define the treas
ury status.
1t is astonishing that great peo-
pie should be so long content 10
have the state run on the happy-go-
unlucky plan. The politicians are
given their pie and the states cup,
board is constantly bare. We need
most of all strictly business state
administration, which will have the
sense and the courage to manage
the states business just as a decen-
thy and successfully managed private
business would be conducted. One
of the first considerations should be
the gradual and constant reduction
of the debt, with a view of stop
ping the payment of over $500, 900 a
year in interest. Nearly one-third
of the revenue received by the state
from taxation is paid out in interest.
The commonest business sense de-
mands that we take early steps to
begin the payment of a debt which
costs US $4,000, 600 every ten years
to maintain. We want less pot-pol-
itics and more business sense at the
state capitol. A thoroughly we'll
qualified business Governor, with a
good, sensible Legislature of repre-
sentative citizens who are not poll
ticians, and a well-considered bust
ness management of state affairs. on
plain, simple, business principles,
would be of more value to Tennes-
see than all the politics of all the
parties in the state.

"MY observations convice me

vor of welcoming the deserters with

to be put on their good behavior,

given seats away up toward the
Speakers table. / have never felt
like ostracising the men who bolted
the Chicago platform. 1t was a
pretty strong dose for the gold
standard Democrats and l was not

tariff reformers. The gold standard
Democrats ought to come back into
the party"
The above remarks recent
ly fell from the lips of that
handsome congressman, Mr..
Bailey, of Texas. "Come
back" where? The gold
standard democrats have not
deserted. They have stood
as firm as a rock for what
they honestly believe to be
the true principles of democ-
racy, and although they re-
alize the sad fact that they
are in the minority, they
propose to maintain their self
respect. Come back your
self, Mr.. Bailey. Some we'll
meaning person may say that
the above invitation reminds
him of the mole-hill and the
mountain story. Perhaps so.
Nevertheless, it is right.

CHANCELLOR HAWKINS has

CHANCELLOR HAWKINS has
rendered his decision in the
school tax case, and it is to
the effect that the election
was illegal, from the fact
that it was held at a time
different from that which was
specified in the act authorize
ing said election, hence the
collection Of the tax cannot
be legally enforced. The
only recourse, so it seems, for
those of our citizens who fa-
vor a ten months public
school, is to appeal from the
Chancellor's decision, or Sc
cure the passage of another
act by the Legislature provid-
ing for the levying of an ad-
ditional tax for school pur-
poses. There is a determina=
ton on the part of a very
large majority of our citizens
to have a ten months public
school in Bolivar, because
they believe it will be bene-
fetal to the town. The above
decision of Chancellor Haw=
kins is the second reverse
with which those who favor
the proposition have met,
but it will not discourage
them in their laudable efforts.
Mark the prediction, Bolivar
will yet have a ten months
public school.

The Surprise of All.

Mr.. James Jones, of the drug firm
of Jones & Son, Cowden, ILL.,, in
speaking of DR.. Kings New Dis
covery, says that last winter his
wife was attacked with La Grippe,
and her case grew so serious that
physicians at Cowden and Pana

in store, and selling lots of it, he
took bottle home, and to the sur.
prise of all she began to get better
from first dose, and half dozen dol,
lar bottles cured her sound and we'll.
DIR. Kings New Discovery for con.
sumption, coughs and colds is
guaranteed to do this good work.
Try it. Free trial bottle at w. J.
