Garland and Vest.

Mr.. Garland was very fond of
practical jokes and during his term
of service in the Senate frequently
turned the laugh on his colleagues.
Senators Voorhees, and Vest, with
whom he was very friendly, finally
determined to turn the tables. Mr..
Garland had a habit like VOORHEES,
of munching candy, and Vest and
Voorhees, made it up between them
to take advantage of his fondness
for sweets to play their trick. They
had some tempting-looking cboco-
late caramels prepared, with the in
terror filled with brown soap. These
they took to the Senate chamb er,
aud Voorhees, placed them on his
desk. The lid being off when Mr..
Garland sauntered down the aisle,
he noticed them at once.
"What have you there, DAMP"
he inquired.
VOORHEES, looked up carelessly
from his writing and responded,
''caramels; help yourself"
Garland needed no second invita-
ton, and picking up two or three
placed one in his mouth. Steadily
he chewed away, his face betraying
no sign of the conflict within him.
This alarmed Voorhees,, who went
to Vests desk and said:
"He's eating them, Vest. What
shall we do? The stuff will kill
him, sure. ]"
Senator Vest replied that it could
do no more than make him sick.
Garland swallowed the stuff altho'
he was foaming at the mouth from
the soapsuds. He related the incl
dent afterward with great gusto and
said he would have swallowed it if
it had killed him.-From the New
York Sun.

Tribute to Wheeler !.

| The following extract is taken
from Congressman Delivers speech
in Congress:
1t begins to look as if the Ameri.
can people are for the first time in
position to look beyond them.
selves and take thought for the
welfare of others, for we are now
united az we never have been before.
Sectional lines and distinctions have
all been wiped out.
| am sorry that l do not see in
his seat our old friend from Ala
bama, Gen. Wheeler. / have serv-
ed with him in this house for ten
years, large part of that time sit
ting with him on the same commit
tee, and | have learned to look upon
the old soldier with filial affection.
| did my best to pursuade him
against going into the Cuban cam
-paign. / tried to get him to see
that his duty was here In the House
of Representatives, leaving the youn-
ger generation the dangers and dis
eases of the camp; but the old man
said he must go. He only weighed
ninety eight pounds, and he said
that he could ride horse all day
without firing the horse. (Laughter.)
So he went down there and bore
the part of patriot and a soldier.
At the time of the attack upon
Santiago he was sick and was una
BILE to leave his tent, but when he
heard the firing he got in an ambu-
lance and started for the front.
When he met details of men carry
ing the wounded to the rear he told
the boys to let the wounded ride
and asked them to get him out of
the ambulance and put him upon
his horse, and all day long in the
firing line at Santiago be kept the
field, directing the movement of his
troops.
| do not know how it seems to
others, but it seems to me that that
old Confederate general riding up
and down the line at Santiago has
become the type of larger and bet
ter Americanism which has turned
its back upon all the bitterness of
the past and opened its eyes to the
sublime destiny of a reunited coun-
try. loud applause.)

HARDEMAN'S HISTORY.
By HISTORIAN.

In the year 1921, Col. Ezekiel
Polk, accompanied by Capt. Thos.
J. Hardeman, Capt. Thomas Nc
Neal, Rufus Polk Nicely Ia lad then
of IS years. and a colored man,
Ben, a servant, with wagons and
stock, crossed Tennessee River at
Browns Ferry, coming by the way
of Samuel Chambers, in McNairy
County, and on by the way of
Gainesville, crossing Hatchie Riv-
er few hundred yards below the
iron bridge, which spans the river,
on the Bolivar and Jackson road.
Col. Polk settled one mile west of
Bolivar, on the land now owned
and occupied by Mrs. Octavia Polk
Col. Polk lived there until August,
1924. He died in the 74th year of
his age, and was buried in the south
west corner of Bolivar. The Gem
etery there bears his name. There
his monument was erected and now
is the central attraction in said
cemetery.
Thomas J, Hardeman settled on
the Middleburg road, one and a
fourth miles southwest of Bolivar.
Those who remember a brick house
on the right hand of the road have
seen his residence. He was Gen.
r. p. Neely's uncle. Hardeman
County was not named for him, but
for his father, Col. Thomas Harde-
man, of Williamson County, Mid
die Tennessee.
Thomas McNeal settled at old
"Hatchie" and built a mill on
Pleasant Run Greek, which in after
years was known as the civilian
Nuckolls Mill" He was a very So
cial, liberal-hearted gentleman, who
retained the respect and good wish
es of all who made his acquaintance.
He was the father of Major E. P.
McNeal, who lived and died in Boil
ivar, leaving a valuable estate to
be inherited by his relatives.
In those days wolves, deer and
turkeys, and occasionally panther,
infested the woods where Bolivar is
now situated.

FOR some time past, the
SOmerville Journal has been
having fun at Bolivar's ex-
pense. The following APP
peared in its issue of Feb. 3:
"A decent man ought to get along
pretty well in hell. All the tough
element is effectually subdued all the
time, and then there is certainly a
lot of policy and venering about the
devil. He wouldn't wish you well
on your wedding trip and rob you
blind in the very first business trans
action after your return. The devil
is a free man. He doesn't make
u, 900 promises in an election. We
are not advocating hell as a good
place to live-we had rather live at
Bolivar--but hell has some advan-
tages over that place. "
If the editor of the Jour-
nal desires, he can go to hell.
We are sure no one here
objects.

WASHINGTON, Feb. A.
With fight over the McEnery
resolution about to reach a
climax to-day, interest cen
tered in the Senate, which
was to be the storm center
during the afternoon.
There was a small attend
ance in the Senate when that
body convened at IL o'clock,
but nine members being pres
eilt.
The snow and cold served
to keep a number of the Sem
ators indoors at their rooms.
Senator Stewart opened the
debate on the McEnery reso-
luton, speaking in opposi-
ton to the resolution and in
favor of retaining the Philip
pines.
Senator Lindsay followed
and Senator Bacon followed
Senator Lindsay, all Oppos-
in the McEnery resolution.
The Bacon amen dment to
the McEnery resolution was
defeated by 29to %, the Vice
President voting in the neg
ative.
The McEnery resolution
was voted on next, and was
carried by 26 to p. The
resolution is as follows:
9 That by the ratification of the
treaty of peace with Spain it is not
intended TO incorporate the inhabi-
tants of the Philippine Islands iuto
of the United States,
nor is it intended to permanently
annex said islands as an Integral
part of the territory of the United
States, but it is the intention of
the United States to establish on
said islands a government suitable
to the wants aud conditions of the
of said islands, TO pre-
pare them for local self govern
ment and in due time make such |
disposition of said islands as will
best promote the interests of citi-
zens of the United States and the
Inhabitants of said islands"

We take the following editorial
clipping from the Columbia, s. c.,
State:
The local columns of The State
have repeatedly testified to the ex-
cellent conduct of members of the
Second Tennessee Regiment during
their three months stay in Co.um-
bia, to the pleasure which our peo-
pie have had in their presence and
to the regret with which they see
them depart. We wish to add edi-
torial Endorsement to all that has
been said on these points. In our
opinion-and we have observed
many thousands of troops in Tampa
and elsewhere-there was not bet
ter regiment in the service than the
Second Tennessee. Officers and
men have conducted themselves in
exemplary manner while in COlum-
bia and have won the hearty friend
ship of our people. 1t was natural
ly expected that on their release
from military discipline on Wednes-
day, after ten mouths service, they
would be hard to manage; but in
deed, they behaved nearly all, with
Sunday decorum and the painting
of the town hardly even took on
tint of pink. That was a real test
of disposition, and the Tennessee
men stood it handsomely. We con-
graduate the Volunteer State. upon
having sent forth such command,
and we express the general and ear
nest regret of the people of Colum-
bia that the ties SO closely knit
during the last three months have
now been severed. Colum bia will
remember them as we hope they
will remem Der Columbia. Good
bye and good fortune to the stall
wart Tennesseeansi

Camp Alger, Va, thence to Camp
Meade, Pa, and lastly to Camp

ment was composed of some of the
bravest boys of the Volunteer State.
They begged to go TO the front, but

nurse the yellow fever soldiers.
