NEW RAILROAD.

A citizen of Bolivar has re-
Gently received a letter from
Mr.. Edward Wood, of Muir
freesboro, Tenn, in regard to
the proposed Eastern and
Western Railway of which
he (Mr. Wood) is general
manager, including a profile
map of same, showing the
territory it will traverse.
The contemplated line is
from Memphis to Knoxville.
The route selected is through
the lower tier of West Ten
nessee counties. The pro-
file shows that the road will
enter Hardeman near the
western center of the county
and cross the Illinois Central
at Bolivar; thence by way of
Silers' Store to Chester Coun-
ty, through Henderson, cross
ing the Tennessee River near
Perryville. Beyond the riv-
er the route gradually infects
to the north east, passing
through Linden, Columbia,
Murfreesboro, Woodbury.,
Kingston and other towns.
Mr.. Wood stated in his
letter that this road is not a
fake, but will certainly be
built. He further states that
all his company asks is to be
given the right of way.

Needs 100000 Men.

NEW YORK, April IA dis
patch to tie World from Manila
says:
Maj. Lawton, at Patite, to-day
authorized the World correspondent
to make this statement:
1.-The present prospect is that
100, OCO troops will be necessary to
pacify the Philippine Islands"
Gen. Lawton's expedition has
been ordered to Manila and will re-
turn there Immediately. All the
territory he captured will be evac-
uated and all the launches he sliced
will be restored TO their original
owners-that is to say, they will be
given back to the persons from
whom Aguinaldo's soldiers took
them.
After giving the opinion that
100000 men will be required to
subdue these Islands, Gen. Lawton
explained the situation TO the w orld
correspondent as follows:
1.-The difficulties in the way are
those of fighting guerrillas in
tropical country. With my brig
ade l could force my way from one
end of the islands TO the other if l
did not have to hold the territory [
traversed. But leaving garrison be-
hind would soon eat up the whole
force"
Gen. Lawton regretted exceeding
ly being compelled to evacuate the
territory he had captured.

Advertising.

Nashville American.
John Wanamaker, probably the
most successful merchant of this
day and generation, says regarding
advertising: II would as soon
think of doing business without
clerks as without advertising" Mr.
Gladstone's opinion concerning adj
vertising was: sNothing, except
the mint, can make money without
advertising" DR.. Benjamin Frank
lin, as typical an American as ever
lived and the personification of COM
mon sense, philosophy and shrewd-
ness, said of advertising: "W hen
you pay more for the rent of your
business house than for advertising,
you are pursuing a false policy. If
you can do business, let it be
known"
In this age of sharp competition
the man in business can no more
hope to live without advertising
than the plant without air and water.

Mr.. FAw, of Bristol, mem
Der of the lower house, has
introduced a bill to author
ize the Governor to appoint
an expert, at a salary of $3.50
per month, to examine the
books of all state institutions.
Some legislation along this
line is necessary. The press
ent system of investigation
is a farce. If the members
of the Legislature are really
in favor of reform, they have
splendid opportunity to
prove it either by supporting
Mr.. Faw's bill or something
better. Legislative invest
igating committees, that do
not investigate, have long
since become tiresome to tax

COMMENTING upon the ac-
ton of the House in adopt
ing a joint resolution provid-
ing that the Governor, Sec
rotary of State, Treasurer and
Comptroller be elected by
the people for a term of four
years, the Nashville Ameri-
can very truthfully says:
"The Governor hardly gets
acquainted with the duties of
his office, and is not well
through the siege of office
seekers, before he is called
on to make another canvass.
He is usually DESTROYS of
succeeding himself and is
kept busy with politics dur
ing his first term, in order
that he may be successful on
a second trial. If the Pres
ident is elected for four years
why not the Governor? There
is enough political agitation
i'll the land as it is, and when
ever possible the attempt
should be made to lessen,
not to augment it. As for
the Secretary of State, Treas
urer and Comptroller, no ar
gument is needed to show
that they should be elected
by the people. 1t is only
another step i'll the direction
of taking away from the leg
islature everything except
purely legislative duties, the
election of United States
Senators included. Numbers
of members go to the legis-
lature for the sole purpose Of
electing a friend to a state
office. They do not go for
legislative work. When their
friend is elected their duty
is done and they loaf around
for the rest of the session.
Again, much valuable time
is wasted in the election of
State officers. But the prin-
cipal reason for electing the
State officers by the people is
the old Democratic one of
leaving the government d.
rectly in the hands of the
people. The people do not
make half as many mistakes
as their representatives. It'll
was Mr.. Jefferson who said: !
Il know no safe depository of
the powers of society but the !
people themselves, and if we
think them not enlightened |
enough to exercise their con-
troll with a wholesome dis
the remedy is not to
take it from them, but to in=
form their discretion by edu-
cation. "

BIG STOCK RUSH ON

Wymore, Neb., June 30.-Tuesday and

with the Burlington railroad so far as
the southern division is concerned.
On Tuesday there were 81 trains reg
istered out of this city, and Wednesday
the total ran up to 60 AS there are on
Iy Is trains scheduled out of here, it
will be seen that the extra business is
exceedingly heavy, every engine at the
company'S command being in service.
The best record previous to this was in
1898, when there were 50 trains out of
here one day in May, and even in those
good times that was considered phe-
nomenaI days business, and has stood
as the record until shattered twice this
week.
This weeks big rush has been nearly
all stock business, many trains being
market cattle going east, but the big
majority of which We're Texas feeders
from the Panhandle country, which are
being shipped to the northern ranges,
where they are to be fed for the mar
ket. These cattle are very small and
thin, some SO foot cars having as many
as 40 cattle crowded in them. The
crews working out of here have scarce
ly had any chance to sleep since the
rush began, and while the matter of
rolling stock has bothered the officials
some the stock is being handled as fast
as it can be delivered to the road. The
rush is expected to continue for several
DAYS.
