THE bill which Representative
Kitchen will introduce in the House
carrying with it fine of 800 for
persons selling country produce, as
a commission merchant, is absurd.
The provisions are that every per-
son engaged in selling farm produce
on commission in Wilmington, shall
pay to the Clerk of the Peace of
New Castle county, for the use of
the State, an annual fee of 500,
provided that the provisions of act
shall not apply to any commission
merchant who carries on the busi-
ness in a building owned by himself
Or for which he pays an annual rent
Of at least $500. Every person vio-
!ating the provisions of the act
shall be fined not exceeding 5000,
or imprisoned not exceeding two
months, or both.
We don't believe the bill, if pass
ed would amount to the paper it is
written on.

LEVI c. BIRD does not think any

FRIDAY, MARCH }. 1900.

THE correspondent of the Sun,
writing from Dover says that SEN
ator Pyle's water bill will pass.
Probably he means the Senate, but
its dollars to doughnuts that it is
as far as it will ever get. The bill
as whole is not what the people
want and it is to leave the Water
Department severely alone. The
politicians have tried before to re-
form several other departments in
the city government and have made
a dismal failure Of it. The people,
as whole, are perfectly satisfied
with the excellent manner in which
the department has been conducted
since put in tine hands of the Water
Commissioners.
There could be some changes
made that would meet with the APP
proval of the people, but they are
of minor Importance compared with
the Pyle bill, which, if passed, will
cripple the Department. 1t would
be easy to have the Water Depart
ment run as it was years ago, when
1t was used by the politicians of
whichever party was in power, to
help swell their vote on election day.
The Street and Sewer Department
was also used, even to greater ex-
tent than any other, in the good old
days when Col John Newell was a
member of Council from the Tenth
ward. Wehaye no desire to- 60 back
to the old way when Council run all
the city departments.

glad hand is extended rather GIN

taken out of his composition and he

Little Morris Mashburn came near
being poisoned last Tuesday by eat

had been spread in order to rid the

of emetics and various other RENE

The Mashburn boys had an acct

day as they were going in to school.
The horse took fright at something
and tried to run, breaking the har-

is the second time the boys have
been "wrecked" by the same horse

A. K. HAWKES., the famous
Atlanta Optician, direct from the
home Office of this great Optical
House, or one of his practical
Opticians, will remain at the store
of his agent, w. J. Cox, for days
only, beginning Nov. 9th. This
will give the citizens of Bolivar and
vicinity rare opportunity of hav-
ing their eye sight tested FREE by
one of the most renowned as we'll as
reliable Opticians in the United
States.
Mr.. Hawkes. has all the modern
appliances for the scientific adjust
meut of Spectacles and Eye Glasses
to the eye. There is no Optician
in the United States who enjoys the
confidence of the people more that
Mr.. Hawks. His name is familiar
word throughout a section of the
county inhabited by over twenty
five millions of people. Mr..
Hawkes. has probably fitted glasses
to the eyes of more people of ma
tional and international fame than
any other Optician living, His
wonderful success is due to his SUI
perior grade of glasses, and to the
confidence the people have in his
ability as practical Optician.

McEIilIin's Experience.

Some of Gov. McMiIlin's friends
say that Mr.. Carmack should wait
until he has had long experience in
the House to prepare him for duties
of Senator. They argue that he
lacks experience" and they would
have us believe that a man can get
the experience necessary to make a
good Senator only by serving in the
House of Representatives This
argument seems to have been made
TO order 10 fit Gov. McMillin's case.
Where did these people get the idea
that a man can become fit for the
Senate only by serving twenty years
in the House? The Senator and
the Representative have to deal
with the same questions, the same
problems. If a man by a thought
full study of public questions can
prepare himself to become a useful
member of the House OF Repre-
sentatives, he can by the same pro-
cess prepare himself to make a good
Senator. This view is sustain ed not
only by common sense but by our
experience. Senator Harris served
only two terms as a Representative,
and that more than twenty years be-
fore he was elecled to the Senate,
yet, he at once took position among
the foremost statesmen of that body. |
Senator Bate had never served in
either house of Congress, yet from

the first he took rank with the
strongest men In the Senate. Meth
er Senator Bailey or Senator jack
son had ever served in either branch
of Congress, yet both achieved
great distinction during their terms
of service. Senator Turley had
none of this experience" yet his
great ability is already recognized
and acknowledged by his fellow
Senator'S of all parties. What is
true of Tennessee is true also of
other States. Young men and men
who have not been trained by long
service in the House are coming to
the front in the Senate. The fact
is that a man doesn't have to be an
office-holder in order to be in touch
with public questions. Mr.. Car
mack has for years been a student
of political issues, and has discussed
them both through the press and on
the stump. 1t is no disparagement
of Gov. McMillin to say that Mr..
Carmack has shown himself fully
as able to grapple with the problems
now before the country as the Gov
ernor. If man has been a thought
full and Intelligent student of public
affairs, if he can speak with clear
ness and force of argument, if he is
skillful and ready in debate, he
already has experience and proper
equipment for public service. We
do not hesitate to say that MIR.
Carmack has all these qualities in at
least an equal degree with Gov.
McMillin. 1t is easy to overrate
the value of this so-called "expe-
Renee" That the House of Rep
resentatives itself does not place a
high value upon long experience nor
accept it as a test of fitness is shown
by the case of Mr.. McMillin him.
self. Twice he has been a candi-
date for the speakership nomination
before a caucus of his Democratic
associates and in each case he
has been overwhelmingly defeated
by men younger in period of service
than himself, the last time by
young man who had served only
three terms against Mr.. McMillin's
ten. In neither of these races
could he command more than a beg
carly handful of supporters among
the men who had served with him
in the House.-Shelbyville Gazette.

Reception of First Tennessee.

The people of the State are show
ing an interest in the return of the
First Tennessee Regiment that
promises the greatest demonstration
ever seen in Nashville.
The regiment will probably arrive
on Thanksgiving day, and among
the distinguished people on hand
to greet them will be President
Mckinley, General Nelson A.
Miles, Adjutant General Corbin,
General John B. Gordon, and Gov
ernor Theodore Roosevelt, of New
York, whose famous Rough Riders
made themselves household word.
Mrs. Bette Taylor cambridge,
daughter of President Taylor, Mrs.
Stonewall Jackson, and other dis
tinguished ladies are expected.
The regiment will be elegantly
breakfasted on arrival, a splendid
flag presented and an hour given to
mingle with their relatives.
Then comes a grand parade of
military, civil societies, etc., re-
viewed by the President and others,
who will also speak.
Dinner will be served by the
ladies, and after presentation of
handsome swords to several of the
officers, the boys will be given the
afternoon to enjoy in their own
way.
The streets of Nashville will be
a blaze of flags and decorations.
AT night there will be great re-
ception at the State Capitol, fol-
lowed by military ball.
Hundreds of incidental features
will be added to the days pro-
gramme, which will be the most
elaborate ever carried out on any
such occasion.

Prison Sunday.

On February &c, 1884, 10
ministers of the gospel in New
York, impressed with the necessity
of broader and intelligent interest
in matters touching the causes and
effects of crime and the methods of
the treatment of the criminal classes,
by resolution set apart one Sunday
in every year as "Prison Sunday"
to be observed by all the churches
in New York.
Much good has come of this
movement. 1t has been a means of
disseminating intelligence regarding
crime and criminals and increasing
interest in the more modern theories
concerning the purposes and uses
of imprisonment, and the most
wholesome methods of preventing
crime and reforming criminals.
The day is now observed in many
states, and we trust that in the near
future it will be observed by every
state in the Union.
We, the members of the Board
of State Charities, would most re-
spectfully request every minister in
Tennessee to observe December 16,
1899, as "Prison Sunday" Let the
of crime, its causes, its
and the proper treatment
of prisoners be presented to the
people from the Bible point of
view. If that day cannot be OBJ
served, let some day near to it be
devoted to the subject. Ministers
who observe the day will please in
form Mr.. Charles J. Sawrie, Secre-
tary, No. 7O7 Belmont avenue,
Tenn, of the fact,
giving name of minister, church and |
place. We request the newspapers
aud church papers of the state to
publish this com munication. PRAY
ing the blessing of God upon you,
we are your most obedient servants.
