Mr. Potter, however. assured them that
such was not the case. That the pumping
station did not emit any offensive odor
whatever and that in large cities where
the system was used the pumping stations
were In the midst of thickiy populated
districts and were not a source of com

Upon this assurance Messrs. Hamilton
and Hacker agreed TO correspond with To-

themselves more particularly upon the

ChiIdren's Day Services were
held at Big Springs, NJ. E. Church,
on last Sunday, conducted by the
pastor, Elder j. w, Peters. The
large new house had recently been
painted and is the pride of the com
munity. The interior was beauti-
fully and tastefully decorated. The
wreathes, mottos and designes, ar
tistically arranged, were admired
by every one. The exercises, con-
sisting of music, recitations, select
reading and short speeches, were
rendered In a manner that was i'm
pressive and instructive. The con-
tributions amounted to a handsome
sum. The occasion was one of sue
cess, and the pastor, superintendent
and every one connected with the
exercises won the praise and compli-
ments of all. The dinner, prepar-
ed by the ladies of the community,
was all that could be desired and
was ample and sufficient for the oc-
casiOn.
Such Sunday School work is hav-
ing a grand influence for good and
should receive the hearty encourage
ment of all who wish to promote
and advance the cause or christian
ity. i FRIEND.

Why Is It?

EDITOR BULLETIN-I want to say
through the columns of your paper
to its many readers that there are
some things connected with the
Public School work of our country
that are very mysterious
Why is it that so many of our
Public Schools are taught by Camp
bellites or Christians, so called?
Why is it that this class or de-
nomination is so favorably recog-
nized by School Directors?
Why so many young ladies and
young men of other denominations
are not allowed an equal showing,
by directors, in their application for
school work?
Why is it that some parties who
hold as high grade certificates or
diplomas, whether they are mem
bers of other denominations or not,
are placed at so great a disadvan-
tage in securing a position?
Why do directors allow these
Campbellite teachers to advocate
their doctrine in connection with
their school work? Why sectarian-
ism at all?
Why is it that for the last few

ever been members of the Sabbath
School at that place and also those
who have not, to be present at the

years the office of County Superin-
tendent has been filled by Camp
bellites in Hardeman and adjoining
counties?
Why is it that observation-disclosures
of our country are presided over by
Campbellite instructors? and why
do young ladies and gentlemen of
other faiths, who attend under such
instructors become changed to the
Campbellite faith during their at
tendance? Is it because the teach
ers or pupils, or the teachers and
pupils exert their sectarian infu-
ence on such students? Is it be-
cause some special advantages are
offered them for chan ging their de-
nominational relationship?
If these normal schools are non
sectarian, why do so many students
change their faith before leaving
them?
Are these schools an organized
machine through which the doc
trine of Campbellism is to be prop
agated--carried into our counties,
thence to the School Districts, and
finally to our homes, bringing the
masses under its influence?
Now, Mr.. Editor, if any of your
readers can give satisfactory expla-
nation to these questions they will
be gladly received by hundreds OF
anxious enquirers.

Senator Turley.

Hon. Thomas B. Turley will not
be candidate for reelection to the
United States Senate. The Com
mercial Appeal of Sunday publish
ed the following explanatory letter
written to Charles G. Parker, of
Shelbyville:
MEMPHIS, TENN, May 10, 1899
"Dear Sir-Referring to your let
tiers of December II, 1898, and
May 4, 1899, and my reply to the
former under date of December II,
1898, in which | wrote you that,
before making any public announce
ment of my course with reference
to Offering again for the senatorship,
| would write you what was my fl
nal conclusion on the subject:
81 have determined not to again
ask for the position. The chief
reason which influences me to this
conclusion is that l am unwilling
to devote the latter portion of my
life to constant struggle for office.
/ have always felt that the citizen
who is once chosen by his fellow
citizens to fill an honorable office
is not entitled simply by that fact
to ask it again and again at their
hands.
EAnd | know myself too well to
believe or think for a moment that
my services in the senate are neces-
sary to the welfare of our state.
Tennessee has many sons better fit
ted for the place than am |.
Il was selected to serve the state
for a definite period. l feel that it
is my duty to give the best | am
capable of to that service for the
time for which | was chosen; but
that it is equally my duty, at the
end of that time, to return the Of
flee TO the people who gave it, and
not to seek 1t again.
"Another reason is that the life
and duties of private citizen are
more cOngenial to me than the re-
sponsibilities of so exalted an office.
AS you know / have passed my
whole life in Memphis and my asso-
Citations here at home are so pleas
ant that | do not feel like giving
them up. | know that | will be
happier and more contented in prac-
ticing my profession here among
the people who have known me from
my boyhoOd, and in performing the
duties which are always at hand
and pressing on one who has
as many ties as | have here
at home, than | would be even if
| succeeded in obtaining all the
honors that can come to one in pub
lie life.
81 fully appreciate the great re-
sponsibilities which attach to the
place and | hope | have met them
and that | may continue, until my
term is ended, 20 meet them in a
way to satisfy the people who have
been so kind and partial to me. If,
when my term is out, l have not
disappointed my state, l shall be
fully satisfied.
+ 81 shall always feel that | owe
debt to the people of Tennessee
which | can never repay, and to
you especially will [ always feel
grateful for the interest you have
taken in me and my fortunes.
"(Signed,) THos. B. TURLEY."
The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1899-06-02

The formal declaration of
Senator Turley that he will
not be a candidate for re-
election, brings forth predic=
tions from politicians as to
his successor. Gov. McMil-
lin and Hon. E. W.Carmack
are most prominently mem
toned, though neither have
announced their candidacy.
1t is generally understood,
however, that McMillin will
be a candidate. Considera-
blepressuei is being brought to
bear upon Mr.. Carmack to en-
ter the race, but so far he has
declined to express himself
publicly on the subject. Some
of Mr.. Carmack's close per=
sonal friends are under the
impression that he is content
at present to represent the
Tenth District in Congress;
others believe he intends to
make the race for Governor.
There is one thing that can
be relied upon as a certainty,
and that is that Mr.. Carmack
will make it exceedingly in
teresting for his opponents,
no matter to which of these
positions he aspires.
