Gov. TAYLOR announces
that he will retire from pol
tiles after the expiration of
his term of office. This will
be a surprise to his friends,
who desired to see him elect
ed to the United States SEN
ate. His exit from the polit-
zeal arena will be regretted
by many, for he is popular
with the people. To speak
plainly, Gov. Taylor has been
fused" by the democracy OF
Tennessee. Whenever hard
fighting was necessary for
party success, he was called
on and never failed to re-
spond promptly; but when
the victory was gained and
the honors of office were to
be distributed, he was prac-
tically ignored. True, he has
gotten a few of the crumbs.
Gov. Taylor is not a states
man; he is almost totally de-
void of stamina; but he is a
bright, witty, big-hearted
gentleman, loved by Tennes-
scans. He says he will pre-
pare a new lecture and take
the platform. The BULLETIN
can say with safety that if he
ever comes to Bolivar he will
be greeted by a large audience.

Sorry He Learned.

EDid you ever know the differ
ence between a boy who has been
brought up with girls and one who
has not? The one whose acquain-
lance with girls of his own age has
been slight is apt to be awkward and
unobserving; whereas the boy who
has breathed an atmosphere of fem
mime influence notices the occasions
for the small politenesses of life"
The speaker was young woman
who had had experiences, and she
proceeded to unfold them.

who had no sisters nor cousins, to
polish him off. At Yale he had
studied hard, and had not wasted

how to do the few thousands of small
services that women like, and as
he was really clever and nice, |

ChambGrlail'S Cough Remedy.

This remedy is intended especial
ly for coughs, colds Group, whooping
cough and influenza. 1t has become
famous for its cures of these diseas-
es, over large part of the civilized
world. The most fattering testi-
monials have been received, giving
accounts of its good works; of the
aggravating and persistent coughs
it has cured; of severe colds that
have yielded promptly to its sooth-
ing effects, and of the dangerous at
tacks of Group it has cured, often
saving the life of the child. The
extensive use of it for whooping
cough has shown that it robs that
disease of all dangerous consequent
ces. Sold by w. J. Cox, Bolivar;

Raphael Semmes.

The name of the most
monumental figure looming
up against the dark back
ground of our civil war
one who ranks with Lee,
Jackson and Forrest, rarely
mentioned in our public
prints--strange to say. 1t is
the immortal name of Rapha-
el j. Semmes, the Wizard
of the Wind, the Seladin Of
the Sea. The name and fame
.of Raphael Semmes over
shadows Nelson as the Alps
tower above a mole-hiIl.
Lord Nelson had every article
and instrument of naval war;
fare furnished already to hand
by Il great and powerful nation
Of sailors. Semmes improvised
his own from raw Southern
boys whose lips had never felt
the breath of the salt air sea.
He created from nothing a
navy that astounded the
world. In his little Alabama
he swept round the globe,
destroying 6S4 merchantmen,
war vessels, gunbOats, etc.
He became the terror of the
world of waters. For years
after the war, when it was
asked in Congress: "What
has become Of our navy, our
merchant mariner" the indig-
nant answer was, GO ask
the winds and the rebel pi-
rates !"
The ''rebel pirates" were
mostly on the Alabama.
That lone ''rebel pirate" stood
against a thousand. Defective
power at last saved the Kear-
sarge. This was the death
struggle of our "rebel navy"
A shell was placed in the
stern of the Kearsarge, but
the force was too weak to ex-
plode the shell. Otherwise
the Kearsarge would have
been blown into fragments.
If you have never read
Service Afioat" read it now.
Semmes was on the ocean
wnat Forrest was on land
and more. Read the cyclone
on the Atlantic, which spun
the Alabama around within
the radius of a mile for 3G
hours, the tops of his masts
lashing the mad waters. When
the storm subsidized he imag-
ined he had been driven into
the far South Seas. His YES
sci was within a mile of the
spot where the cyclone had
struck it.-C. e. Merrill in

Preparing for War.

Washington, March s.
The preparations for war
means intervention. The
President has frankly told
the leaders of Congress that
he intends to intervene in the
Spanish-Cub war, and
that in his opinion war with
Spain will be unavoidable.
He does not expect hostilities
to grow out of the present
complications over the re-
quest for the recall of Lee
or from the Fern as a supply
boat, but he does anticipate a
declaration of war immedi-
ately upon a proclamation OF
independence of Cuba. The
haste now exerted is illus
trative merely Of his fear that
Spain may nip preparations
in this country by opening
hostilities at once, and for
that reason the adminstIa=
ton is losing no time in or
dering extra projectiles and
ammunition from abroad and
buying cruisers and torpedo
boats.
The conference at the
| White House this morning
resulted in the purchase OF
one of the only two dynamite
throwing guns in the world,
We own one, the Vesuvius,
andBrazil owns the other, the
Nithleroy. 1t was the NTH
leOry that caused Admiral
Game to raise the white flag
without a shot from her bow.
| learned last night that
Spain made a big offer for
this vessel, and that as soon
as it was reported the Brazil
ian government, through its
representative here had offer
ed it to the United States.
The conference at the Naval
Department this morning was
to consider this offer. 1t was
practically settled that the
United States government
should buy this terror of the
seas.
The dynamite throwing
warship until three years ago
was considered impractica-
BILE, but since then, so | was
told at the Navy Department
this morning, fuses have been
perfected which make them
the most formidable battIe=
ships in the world for destroy
ing navies, but their especial
value is in their destruction
to cities on the coasts.
The moral force, said Admiral
Constructor Hichbornd, is ten
times as great as any battle
ship afoat.
The President is preparing
plans for intervention from
the first excitement. I have
tried to point out that war
would only ensue upon inter
ventiOn and even this areu-
ment proving that these pre-
dictions were we'll founded.
The moment the admins
tratiOn feels that the navy is.
equipped for war the Presi-
dent will issuea proclamation
recognizing the independence
of the Island of Cuba and
receive Senior Quesada as its
minister.

The following circular is printed
at the request of the Bureau of
Pensions for the information OF par
ties interested. We had no idea that
there was 30 much fraud being prac'
ticed by the people as the circular
would indicate:
Recent investigation had by this
bureau to ascertain the methods en-
ployed by public officials in executing
pension vouchers, has demonstrated
an almost total disregard Of the laws
and regulations governing the sub
i4ct. 1t is clearly evidenced that the
illegal, lax, Indifferent and perfume
tory procedure now extant has be-
come a menace to the proper and
safe conduct of the affairs of this bu-
reau, so far as it relates to the pay
ment of pensions, and special efforts
are contemplated to correct the ex-
lstlng abuses. While it is believed
that many officials who assist in the
execution of pension vouchers have
no conception OF their criminal liabil-
ity in the premises, it is equally GER
tain that many others to secure an
advantage in the numerical number
of their clientage, knowingly and
williully resort to violations of law.
To the end that the former class may
profit by this notice, this circular is
issued, There can be no justification
in the prevalent haste and lexity ex-
lsting in many offices, by which post
dating, false certification, false CLAIM
aud "stock" witnesses have become
factor in the administration and ack-
nowledgement of pension vouchere'
It is the intention Of this bureau,
where the facts warrant such action, to
institute criminal proceedings against
the parties who indulge in these
illegal and irregular practices and
they are warned accordingly. By
following strictly the instructions
printed on each voucher, the matters
complained Of may be entirely reme-
died. Very respectfully,
III. CLAY EVANS,
Commissioner"

A Light Battery

Many of the graduates of the University
of Southern California have for some time
been organized into a military company,
the original purpose Of 1t being heavy
battery. When the war department asked
the state to supply four heavy batteries,
these young men were in happy mood,
but now they learn that Captain Steere
is doing all that is necessary for this sec
ton, and they are crowded out. But they
are an undaunted, resolute set of fellows,
and determined not to disband entirely, for
they believe that they can be of service to
their country or state in some way or at
some time.
Not being able to gain their first point,
they are willing to try another. They are
now prepared to present themselves as a
light battery, either for home defense or to
go to the front, they care not which, but
having interests here, they would prefer to
remain in this city or on the Pacific coasI.
What they particularly wish is that in
some way or through some agency or

A PROPOSED REGIMENT
Organizers Want to Know Who Should
EQUIP It

The Southern California volunteer cav
airy is trying to organize regiment OF
artillery, and last night they held meet
| ing in the reception rooms of the Silver
Republican club to devise rules for pre-
liminary organization. In addition to that
there were several speeches made and .
resolution passed. They intend, further, to
write to the war department at Washing
ton asking to be provided with armament,
or to inform them whether 1t would be
the duty Of the state or the national gov
eminent to do this, In view of the fact that
they intend to use the regiment for a
home guard
The suite Of rooms at the club in which
the meeting took place were we'll filled
with people when J. N Phillips. as chair
man, explained the purpose of the call.
He told them of the necessity Of an artil-
lery, and asserted he would be willing to be
in the thick of any strife that may pre-
sent itself. He made a few humorous re-
marks that cheered the audience to the
more somber details of the affair that were
coming.
NJ. s. Reed was appointed secretary and
after several speakers were heard, W. T.
Somes presented the following resolution,
which was adopted:
Resolved, That we proceed to organ
ize battery of artillery for coast de-
tense; that we first elect colonel of
the regiment, and that the colonel,

necessary that they be revised and made
clear so that the layman can comprehend
them. The federal government now has
practically no control over the militia of
states while they are in their native
state Now, when the department of war
at Washington notifies the governors of
states that it is in need of volunteers for
the army, and they intimate that they
prefer the National guard in the matter,
the latter, in being accepted, are no longer
militiamen, but volunteers, on a level
with any one who may enlist and be re-
ceived. The officers of these regiments
are no longer officers until reappointed by
the government.
This is mentioned because there is a
mistaken impression among many persons
particularly interested in the matter. AS
the information is given, the governor can
appoint officers who will act in the ca
pacity assigned to them while In their
state, but as soon as they leave 1t, 1t re-
mains for the government to approve and
ratify the selections of the governor.
1t is apparent, therefore, that the officers
of the local brigade cannot be too certain
of retaining their military positions, even
though they have received, as they say
they have, private advices from Sacra-
monto assuring them of their places.
