Mr.. BRYAN, in his speech at New
York last Saturday night, said all his
party insists upon is that man shall
not be q political bigamist; he canpot
be welded to the name OF one party
and the principles of some other party.
M good and true democrat can find
any thing to object TO in that, but
every thing TO approve and endorse.
No matter what democrat may think
If he have common sense, he knows
the only way for his party to succeed Is
20 abide by the action of its regularly
called and organized conventions. Mr..
BRYAN. in the same speech, said this
government acts upon the idea that II
"has unlimited power over man, ou'
that its power is limited when it deals
with money" This is just as true. The

Sold Out to the Railroads.

EDITOR Enthusiastically has put cut the
false report that have sold out to the railroads
because introduced bill in the legislature de-
claring Big Hatchie River not navigsble from the
point where the j. e. R. R. crosses said river to he
line o. Haywood and Hdrdeman Counties. Big
Hatchie River was not navigable above tine point
where the 1. C. r. X. crossed it in Hardeman
County before introduced this bill that Is creating
80 much excitement, and consequently does not
concern the l. c. Z. K. Co.; and it does not effect
navigation lower down than the line of Hay wood
and Hardeman Counties, which is some distance
above the Tennessee Midland r. R.. therefore it is
OF no importance to that R. r. Co.; and as there is
no railroad between these two lines, it is impos-
sible for any railroad to be bene6 ted by closing
navigation to the line of Haywood and Hardeman.
While the closing of Big Hatchie, between points
above mentioned, is not in the interest of any
railroad it is at the same time against the in
terest of Hardeman County nor any citizen there
of, because there has not been steamboat up to
Bolivar for many years. probably twenty years.
There has been transportation of nothing in twenty
years Harchie except fat boats and RATS and
this act provides for the easy passage o: both.
INTRODUCED the bill not for the benefit Of any
railroad company, nor through or by the request
of any railroad company, or any representative OF
people who live below the 1. C. B. f., who paw
taxes and who helped to elect much SO as the
good people in other parts of Hardeman County
and who are justly entitled TO my representation,
as is the who ignoraptly or maliciously circu-
lated the false report that 1 had sold out to the
railroads, and they should not be restrained fom
building bridges atchie (by special law de-
carng it nsvigabe, when in fact it is not navigat-
ed) if theg pay taxes to build them.
Why, those people down there tell me they have
neigh bOrs who live them that they can hear
them calling hogs and yet they never visit or have
any dealings on account of not having any way to
| cross the river.
Before this bill was introduced and enacted into
law Big Hatchie was navisable Eom its mouth to
| q point where the l. G. R. r. crosses it in Harde-
man County, and below that point the channel Of
the river could not be Instructed Therefore below
the Illinois Central B. B. the river could not be
bridged, hence they requested me to do something
in the matter, as there was Ave bridges across Big
Hatchie above the /. C. R. R. in Hardeman County
and not across it below the I. C. r. R., and
as theirrepresentative introduced the BILL which
has been the subject of so much speculation, de-
claring Big Hatchie not navigable above the line
of Haywood and Hardeman Counties, so the river
could be brdged below the 1. C. R. R., aud not for
the benefit of any railroad.

HARDEMAN'S HISTORY.
BY HISTORIAN.

Hardeman County contains about
700 square miles of land. 1t is
bounded on the south by the State
of Mississippi, on the east by Nc
Marry County, on the north by
Madison County, on the west by
Fayette County.
1t is we'll watered by many fine
springs, creeks and Big Hatchie
River, which passes through it di-
agonally from the south east to the
north west, into which all the
creeks flow. The creeks on the
south side almost invariably run
from the south towards the north,
and those on the north side, for the
greater part, flow from the north
east towards the south west. Many
of these creeks could be used for
running mills and factories. Many
fine localities for the establishment
of good stock farms.
Once it was covered with a mag
nificent forest, in which roamed
herds of wild deer, wild turkies in
great numbers, and small game
abounded abundantly.
Our rivers and creeks were stock
ed with good variety of game fish
to richly reward the devoted angler
1t was not an uncommon thing
up into the forties to see herds OF
wild deer galloping over the plains
at their own will, their numbers
sometime reaching from 80 TO 40
But now, probably, there are not a
dozen in the county. The barren
grass and wild pea vines then, GOV.

they did not have such desires, they

nomical and the care and treatment
of its patients as just and humane.
The Superintendent and Assistant
Physicians and Steward, the Atten-
dants and all connected with the
Institution are subjects of special
mention for their uniform attention
to their various duties, the interest
manifested in the success of it's man
agement and the kind treatment and
careful watchfulness of its inmates.
We recommend that the grounds
be improved in accord with the
plans and surveys made, and that a
conservatory and green houses be
built. You are aware our laundry
and kitchen were burned October
10, 1897. With the insurance
money collected, we were able to
rebuild and equip same. To a great
extent, our own day labor was used.
The buildings are separately built,
of brick, with metal roofs. We
used the old foundations of kitchen
and laundry for laundry, which
gives us more space than the one
burned. We also built larger
kitchen, with bake-oven attached.
Separated as they are, in case of fire
hereafter, there is less danger of the
destruction of both buildings. Our
electric light plant was also a total
loss by the same FIRE. All the in
surance money was placed on the
main and annexed buildings and
other machinery before the plant
was erected; therefore we would ask
an appropriation to replace same, as
the building is now wired, and ready
for connection with the plant, in
the absence of which the wire is
useless.
We would recommend an ascot
ate dining room with partitions,
one side for men, the other for wo-
men, for two reasons: First, econ
omy.in food, as it would make less
waste of food in proportion to two
rooms, than it does for twelve, as
it is now. Second, we would have
twelve rooms that could be used as
dormitories, with capacity of nine
beds each. Such dining room could
be built for much less than an annex
with the same capacity; therefore
we would ask an appropriation to
build the same, and an increase in
the apportionment of state patients
allotted to this Institution from FIVE
hundred to six hundred-to take eff
feet when the dining room is COM
pleted. Also an appropriation to
furnish the same with one hundred
bed steadS and bedding.
We would recommend that an
appropriation be made to build con-
servatory and green houses.
We would recommend an appro-
priation of one thousand dollars
for general improvements.
We would recommend that our
sustenauce fund remain as it is now,
$3.50 per year for each patient.
Respectfully submitted.
