when Bayliss had his back toward
Mcclure.
A younger sister of the slain man,
now living in Texas, has assumed
the role of his nemesis. When she
ascertained her brothers slayer was
under arrest, she communicated with
the authorities announcing her in
tention of sparing neither time, ex-
pense nor effort to see that the
tragedy was avenged by the law.
She is expected to assist IN the pros
ecution.
INQUIRE IN PRISON.
Holly Springs, Jan. 27.-Sheriff
Mullins aud Deputy Finley arrived
here this morning with DR.. J. w.
Mcclure, charged with killing
William Bayliss near Byhalis in
1868, and he was placed in Jail.
Soon after, he sent for w. E. Utter
back and retained him as his counsel
in the case. Mr.. Utterback gave
instructions to Jailer Callahan to
allow no one to talk to him about
the affair. Mcclure brought his
guitar along with him to beguile
the time.
A search through the papers of
the circuit clerks Office reveals the
fact that there is no record of the
courts of the county having taken
notice of the killing. 1t occurred
during "carpetbag" days, when
everything was in disordered con-
dition, and when law and justice
was mere sham. 1t will be neces-
sary, therefore, for the grand jury,
at the February term of court, to
resurrect the case and prepare an in
dictment.
Mrs. Bayliss and Mrs. Kesrn, of
Hearn, Tex, widow and daughter
of the murdered man, and also
eye witnesses of the crime, write
that they will be here at court to
appear against Mcclure.
VIM. Bayliss is well remember
ed by the older citizens of Holly
Springs, and he lived here for a
while after the war. He is describ-
ed as being an honorable, upright
gentleman, but rather exacting and
impulsive. He would give no of
Tense to others, and brook none.
From a gentleman who lived in the
neighborhood at the time very diff
ferent account of the killing is learn
ed from that which Mcclure gives.
He says that Mrs. Bayliss, so it
is reported at the time, had some
words with Mcclure and he was
very impudent to her. Bayliss, OF
course, would not put up with this,
and went to McGuire's and "cussed'
him out. As Bayliss was walking
away Mcclure fired at his back and
missed him. Bayliss turned and
drew his pistol, when Mcclure
jumped behind a post where h,
could shoot through crack. Bay
liss got behind tree. 1t was Nc
CURE that fired so many shots, and
when Bayliss leaned out from be-
hind the tree to invite Mcclure tt
come out in the open and shoot il
out, the latter, from his impregna
BILE position, fired the fatal shot.
1t was recalled that a relative Of
Mcclure, in telling of the affair,
said that evey time Bayliss moved
Mcclure "barked" the tree.

Smallpox Spreading.

DR.. J. A. Albright issued to-day
to County Health Officers the fol-
lowing circular on the subject of
small pox:
"In spite of the most extreme
vigilance of our different county
and city health officers, small pox has
been introduced into the state from
Birmingham, as follow: Knoxville,
three cases; Lenoir City, Loudon
County, two cases; Mingo Mines,
Claiborne County, six cases; Chat
tanooga, one case; Memphis, one
case; case of suspicious eruption
undoubtedly small pox) reported
two miles north of Huntingdon,
Carroll County.
cat all of the above points of
infection, prompt measures were
adopted as to vaccination, isolation
and strict surveillance, followed by
thorough disinfection, fumigation,
etc.
"At the suggestion of the State
Board of Health, l addressed a
communication to Surgeon-General
Wyman, w ashington, D. c., Pc
titioning him as the head of the
United States Marine Hospital Ser
vice, to use every means in his pow
er to protect the State of Tennessee
against the constant introduction of
small pox from Birmingham, Ala.
In reply, DR.. Wyman stated that he
had already dispatched Passed As
sistant Surgeon Magruder, togeth-
er with thirty or forty assistants, to
the infected territory in and about
Birmingham, and that everything
possible was being done to stamp
out an restrict the spread of the
disease; also, in his opinion, that
within a short time the disease
would be completely eradicated.
"Yet, we know that the disease
is liable to spread until May or
longer, and therefore, l call upon
you, as the representative of your
Board of Health, to inaugurate, if
you have not already done so, a
thorough vaccination, and if neces-
sary, revaccinate, SO that if by &C.
cident this pest should make its ap-
pearance within your jurisdiction,
your people would feel to some de-
gree safe and immune from infection,
and the work of stamping out the
disease, with you, would have al
ready begun.
"Be on the lookout for all sus-
picious individuals, and should they
prove to be from the infected points
above indicated and unable. to show
a clean bill Of health, would advise
that you keep them under strict sur
veillance for period of fourteen
days, pending any developments. "

The senatorial deadlock at
Nashville has at last been
broken, andWest Tennessee's
candidate, Senator Turley,
has been nominated by the
caucus, equivalent to an cleo
ton by the legislature. His
nomination was brought about
by the withdrawal of Taylor,
whose forces he captured.
McMillin made a gallant fight
and his friends were loyal to
the last. The selection is
wise and proper. Senator
Turley is one of the truest,
purest and aOlest men in
politics.

MANY citizens of Harde-
man county have been pro-
hibited during the past week
from coming to Bolivar, on
account of the dangerous con-
dition of our bridges and
levees. The result is that
important public business has
been delayed. The county
site should at all times be &C
cessible. The county court
annually appropriates large
sums of money to keep in re-
pair our bridges and levees.
1t seems, however, that the
work is not properly done.
The expenditures, in many in
stances, are wasted. We will
not say that those to whom
contracts have been let did
not do the best they could,
for we believe they did. But
we most respectfully suggest
to the honorable county court
that it elect a suitable person,
of experience, to keep our
bridges and levees in proper
condition. Let him be empow-
cred to employ labor, buy ma
terial, and let his jurisdiction
extend over the entire county.
Fix the salary so as to induce
competent men to apply for
the place. We believe this
course will work a saving in
the end to the taxpayers of
Hardeman county.

ALMOST every community
has its self-constituted "dem-
ocratic leaders" who claim to
be the very essence, the quin-
tessence, of all that is Jeffer-
sonian and Jacksonian. We
have them. What are they
doing? Nothing, except to
abuse all honorable men who
differ with them upon party
questions. What do they
hope to do? Get an appoint
ment; and they will stoop to
any low, dirty method to ac-
complish their purpose.
They care nothing for the
welfare of the party. So far
as they are concerned it can
sink, if they swim. But up
to date, thanks to a just
and wise Providence, they
are sinking while the party
swims. Long live democ-
racy!
