Smallpox.

Since our last report, no
new cases of smallpox have
developed. At present there
are sixteen confined in the
detention camp, seven of
whom have varioloid, and
three cases of smallpox in the
pest house. a negro child
one year old, whose vaccina-
ton was not successful, died
of smallpox Tuesday morn
ing at the pest house.
Three members of the
Smith family ale still quite
sick. Mrs. E. z. Smith is
cOnvalescing from a mild
attack of variolOid. DIR. r.
w. Tate furnishes us with
the fOllwing statement in re-
gard to the situation:
We are glad to say, with re-
gard to the smallpox situa-
ton, that there is not in the
town of Bolivar a single case
of smallpox, nor even a sus-
piciOus case, and there has
been none here since Cora
Ramsey, the colored girl, was
removed to the pest house
on Sunday, 14th day of JAN
uary, 1900. Persons coming
to Bolivar may be well as
sured that they incur no dan
ger and may attend to their
business and make their Wis
its with impunity. We are
glad to make this announce
ment after so long a time Of
dread and apprehension.

THE existence of a few
cases of smallpox seems to
have caused some people to
lose their wits. a person
who sickens now is liable to
die for lack of attention. No
matter the nature of the all
ment, whether backache,
headache or toeache, alarm
lists are ready to cry ''small-
pox!' These alarmists new
er go near the patient to in
vestigate, but just simply
know its smallpox, and stake
their reputation that the re-
suit will prove it. They re-
fuse to take the written
statements of reputable at
tendant physicians to the
contrary. If we believed in
mob law, the alarmist would
be our victim.

Whiteville.

The BULLETIN returns thanks to
the Louisville d Nashville, Nash
vile, Chattanooga & st. Louis and
Southern Railways for handsomely
illustrated and interesting pam
phlet, descriptive of towns along
their lines. We reproduce the
following article from the pen of
Rev. VIM Norment, in regard to
Whiteville:
The town is situated in the north
western part of Hardeman County,
So miles east of Memphis, on the
Memphis Division of the Nash
vile, Chattanooga and st. Louis
Railway, surrounded by a fine fer
tile and level country. When the
Tennessee Midland Railroad was
built in 1883, WhiteviIle had a pop
ulation Of between fifty and sew
enty-tive. Today it has between
600 and 700, and is steadily in
creasing. This recent and rapid
growth only shows that Whiteville
is destined to become one Of the
most prosperous inland towns in
West Tennessee. We have ten
i ,,,oroboD+C oil Of ,rbop, QUO 1oIoO
profitable business, and one Of
whom did $500 worth of bust
ness in 1898, being the largest in
Hardeman County. We have five
churches three white and two col
Ored); an excellent school, which is
run ten months in the year; one
newspaper, an opera hall, and one
hotel. Lands are very productive
and well adapted to all sorts of
field crops, including grasses, clover,
vegetables, and fruits all of which
grow and yield astonishingly.
Wheat, oats, barley and rye are be-
ing largely substituted for cotton,
and have proven profitable. The
winters are mild, just cold enough
to invigorate the physical system,
improve the soil, and kill the germs
of disease. Our altitude above the
sea level is about 400 feet, making
malaria almost an unknown disease.
1t was in view of the health of this
section of country that the Yves
tern Hospital for the Insane for
West Tennessee was located eight
miles away, near Bolivar, the county
seat. THIS section is blessed with
a superabundance of fine water,
furnished by wells, springs, and
clear-running streams. All the
premises considered, we know of no
more inviting field in a small town
for capitalists to start factories, ETC.,
than Whiteville. A roller Touring
mill, a creamery, and a cannery
would do well in Whiteville; in
fact, any manufacturing interest.
We, in conclusion, heartily in
vite any and all who may desire
TO invest in our town and commu-
nityQto come and Fartake of our
genuine Southern hospitality.

1t has been demonstrated rep
eatedly in every state in the Union
and in many foreign countries that
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
a certain preventive and cure for
Group. 1t has become the universal
remedy for that disease. VI. V.
Fisher, of Liberty, w. Va, only re-
peats what has been said around

Carmack Confident.

Hon. E. w. Carmack, congress-
man from the Tenth Tennessee dis
trict, arrived in Memphis yesterday
morning, and while he spent most
Of the time in his room at the
Peabody Hotel, quite a number of
friends and political supporters were
with him during the day.
Mr.. Carmack has been in Tennes-
see several days on private business,
though he has not overlooked his
candidacy for the United States
Senate, to succeed Senator Turley,
and when seen by a Commercial
Appeal reporter yesterday afternoon
and questioned regarding the pol
itical conditions in Tennessee which
had been encountered by him
since his return from Washington,
he said nothing of a discouraging
character has been reported. He
was for several days in Middle Ten
nessee, and thinks there will be no
trouble in capturing enough votes
for his column from that section to
show a majority for him when the
time for the election of a senator
comes off next year.
Much has been said recently re-
garding the pro bable position of
Gov. McMillin, and considerable
speculation has been INDUCED in by
the political writers of the State
as to whether or not that gentleman
would be candidate for the sen,
ate. While it is generally believed
by the politicians in this section of
the State that the governor will be
candidate, this was a subject
which Mr.. Carmack did not care TO
discuss in anything like a detailed
way.
Because of the fact that he has
been called on so frequently for ex-
pressions of opinions on various
subjects of public interest, the con-
gresham from Memphis did not
care to submit to a long interview.
He said, however, that when he
left the city tonight he would stop
at two or three other points in the
State before returning to Washing
ton, and just when the campaign
for the senate will open up in ear
nest is yet question to be deter
mined. If it is a three-cornered
race it is not improbable that those
in national affairs will
have an opportunity to hear many
joint debates, and, so
far as that goes, it is the general
understanding among Mr.. Carmack's
friends that in the event there is a
possibility for furnishing such en-
tertainment, no matter how many
there are in the field the
Memphis man will accommodate
any and all Corners. Commercial

THE BULLETIN desires to
compliment our efficient
County Board of Health fOl
the most excellent manner
i'm which it has handled that
dreaded disease, smallpox.
When the disease was intro
duced into our midst, we were
totally unprepared to cope
with it, not even having a
pest house. Prompt action
was at once taken. a house
of isolation was secured, de-
tention camps were pitched,
nurses employed, and every
possible precaution was taken
for the protection of the pub
lie and for the comfort of
those who had contracted the
disease or had been exposed.
DR.. Robert Wood Tate, who
has daily visited the patients,
has rendered valuable SER
vices and deserves especial
praise. He has been ably as
sisted by Esquire w. j. Cox
and Mr.. Julius Crawford, the
other members of the Board
of Health.

Cure for Smallpox.

A celebrated Partisan physician
has given the following prescrip-
ton, which is said to be a splendid
remedy for smallpox. 1t is asserted
that it will prevent or cure small
pox though the pittings are filling.
He says:
"When Jenner discovered cow
pox in England the world of science
hurled an avalanche of fame upon
his head, but when the most scien-
tific school of medicine in the
world-that of Paris-pubIished
this recipe as a panacea for small
pox it passed unheeded. 1t is as
unfailing as fate and conquers in
every instance. 1t is harmless
when taken by a we'll person. 1t
will also cure scarlet fever. Here
it is as | have used to cure small
pox-when learned physicians said
the patient must die, it cured:
Sulphate of zinc, one grain; foxglove
(digitalis), one grain; half teaspoon
full of sugar; mix with two tea
spoonsfull of water; when thoroughly
mixed add four ounces Of water.
Take a spoonful every hour.
Either disease will disappear in
twelve hours. For child, smaller
doses, according to age. If counties
would compel their physicians to
use this, there would be no need
of pesthouses. If you value advice
and experience use this for that
terrible disease"

Estes Law Is Partial.

The Court of Chancery
Appeals yesterday declared
the Estes Fee Bill, passed il
1897, and affecting every
county office in the State,
unconstitutional upon the
ground that the legislation
was partial.
The particular section OF
the Constitution violated was
section s, article 2, which
provides that the Legislature
shall have no power to sus~
pend any general law nor
pass any law for the benefit
of any individual or individ-
uals; nor to pass any law
granting toindividuals rights
or immunities other than
such as may be, by the same
law, extended to any men,
Der of the community who
may be able to bring him
self within the provisions of
the law.
The especial point made
applicable to this provision
of the Constitution was in
the matter of deputies and
their salaries, the statute
making no provision for or
in relation to deputies and
their salaries in counties of
the sectond class, that is in
those having a population of
10000 and under 10000.
The counties of the second
class are Hamilton and Knox.
In counties of the first,
third and fourth class the
number and salaries were pro-
nounced and restricted by the
act, while no restriction
whatever was placed on coum-
ties of the second class ex-
cept such as might be found
in the uncontrolled discre-
ton of the County Court.
In Hamilton and Knox
Counties, it was stated, the
officers of the counties could
have as many deputies as the
County Court was willing
to allow, whose salaries
would be such as the County
Court conceded them, provid-
ed it did not go beyond the
total amount of fees collect
ed and paid into the Treas
ury by the several officers re
ferred to. While it was con-
coded in this regard that
counties Of the lower classes
might by increase of popula-
ton enjoy the same benefits
as Hamilton and Knox, it.
was pronounced furthermore
true that counties of the first
class, Davidson and Shelby,
could never hope to enjoy
the benefits.
