fill out the unexpired term
of Mr.. Wilkes. On March
3rd, 1899, John III. Bills was
appointed by Gov. McMillin
for a term of six years, in
place of Coates. On March
goth, 1899, at a meeting of
the Board of Trustees of the
Western Hospital, Coates
was present and contended
for his seat. By a vote of
two to one, Bills was seated,
Messrs. Austin Miller and j.
y. Manson voting for Bills,
DIR. w. M. Wright voting
for Coates. In June, 1899,
Coates filed a bill in Chancery
Court, claiming the right to
the seat, contesting the right
of Bills. In August follow
ing, Chancellor A. @. Hawk
ms issued an alternative writ
of mandamus, compelling
the Board of Trustees to
show cause why Coates was
deprived of the seat. On the
Sth of November, the case
was argued before Chancel-
Tor Hawkins at Jackson,
Hon. E. l.. Bullock repre-
senting Mr.. Coates, and Gen.
Geo. B. Peters, Messrs. A.
y. McNeal and G.. A. Miller
representing Mr.. Bills. The
case was taken under advise
ment, and on the 9th of De-
cember, the Chancellor rend-
cred an opinion to the effect
that Coates was a rightful
and lawful member of the
Board of Trustees; that Bills
was not lawful member;
that there was no vacancy to
be filled by the Governor,
and ordered a peremptory
mandamus to compel the
Board to allow Coates to take
his seat, taxing the defend
ant with the cost. On the
21st of December, the case
was appealed to the Supreme
Court, the appeal bond being
signed by Messrs. j. A. Man

THERE is an effort on foot,
led by the big department
stores Of the great trade CEN
tiers, to influence Congress to
pass law admitting large
parcels of merchandise to the
mails at a low rate of pos
tage. The primary purpose
of the postal service is to
carry written or printed mat
ter, not to convey merchan-
disc. According to recent
reports of the Postmaster
General, the service is now
operating at a loss of $9,OO0,-
600 annually. OF course,
this deficiency has to be made
up from other sources, and
the revenue derived comes
out of the pockets of the tax
payers. The passage of a
law reducing the price of pos
tage on merchandise would
not only create a further de-
ficiency, but would result.

disc, the BULLETIN favOrs in
creasing it to such an extent

South and Manufacture.

The South undoubtedly needs
manufactures. The wealth of the
Eastern states is derived from that
source. According to the New Or
leans Picayune:
Massachusetts has, by the last
census over 80 cities each ranging
In population from 200 to $780,
600. Louisiana has one single city
with population of Is, 900 and over
while Mississippi has not one. In
Louisiana, 10 per cent. of the people
are engaged in manufacture and 80
per cent. in agriculture. In Massa-
chusetts 10 per cent. of the people
are employed in agriculture and so
per cent. in manufacturing. Massa-
chusettS has neither coal, iron, tim
Der, cotton, rawhides nor wool of
its own production. 1t buys these
from other states, manufact-
ures them and sells them back TO
the producer at big profit.
y pound of raw cotton is worth
3 cents; when made into fabrics,
that pound is worth from 25 cents
to a dollar. Massachusetts, has s.
100000 spindles and spins one mil
lion and a quarter bales of southern
cotton to sell back to the south.
The south hews the wood and draws
the water; it does the drudgery of
raw material for the north
TO manufacture and get rich upon.
1t Is this which keeps the south
poor, and always will, until the
people shall manufacture
their own products.

Morgan and Lincoln's As
sassination.

1t is not generally known, per-
haps, that Senator Morgan, of
Alabama, was once threatened with
arrest for alleged completely in the
assassination of Lincoln.
OF course, Senator Morgan was
not only innocent, but actually did
not hear of Lincoln's death until a
week after it had occurred. lie
was then farmer in Dallas county,
his practice of the law having been
prohibited by the Federal authori-
ties, and he was blowing corn when
he heard that an order had been re-
cieved by Gen. Macarthur, at Selma,
to arrest him and send him to Wash
ington for completely in the Lincoln
assassination. Senator Morgan went
into his house, attired himself in
his Confederate Generals uniform,
with starred epaulettes, belt, sword
and other accouterments complete.
He then saddled his pillow horse and
rode to Selma, where he presented
himself to Gen. Macarthur.
"Good morning, General" he said.
"Good morning, General" replied
Macarthur, recognizing Morgan's
rank. "For what am l indebted for
this visit?"
81 have come to be sent to Wash
ington," remarked Morgan. 81
understand you have an order to
send me there"
Gen. Macarthur expressed surprise
to learn that the existence of the
order was known, and smiled when
Gen. Morgan told him that ex-Con-
federates had not lost their habit of
acquiring information. Then be
remarked that the order would not
be obeyed-or, at least, not until
there had been a reasonable delay.
This did not suit Morgan, WHO
wanted to 60 to W ashington to
present some claims for destroyed
cotton, and was quite willing to
travel at Government expense.
81 want to make one request of
you," said Morgan. "'When l
went into the war | had $l5,O in
gold in a bank in Selma. When
| came back from the war l found
that my gold had given place to
$4,000 in Confederate money.
With that SIS, 1000 | bought half a

more meat than any other man in
Dallas county. When l go to
Washington, General, I want you
to put guard around my smoke
house."
General" replied Macarthur,
laughingly, "you had better go
home and guard the smokehouse
yourself, and, by the way" he adj
ded, "the restriction against your
practice of the law will be removed"
Senator Morgan went back to his
family and his pillow, and he has
never heard any thing of the order
from that day to his.-Washing-

Smallpox.

Smallpox made its appear
ance in Bolivar last week.
The disease was brought here
by a negro. Up to the pres
ent time five cases have been
reported, one white and four
colored. The white patient,
Mr.. Oscar Smith, is at his
residence in West Bolivar,
isolated. He is being prop
erly looked after, and is inn
proving. The four colored
patients were placed in a pest
house, a mile and a half north
west of town. Two of them
died this week. Other col
ored people who have been
exposed are in a detention
camp. DR.. Albright, Secreta-
ry of the State Board of
Health, was here last week,
visited the cases and recon-
mended immediate vaccina-
ton and isolation. By direc-
ton of the President of the
County Board of Health, the
schools have closed tempo~
rarily, and no public gather
ings of any nature are being
held. Quarterly and Circuit
Courts have been postponed
indefinitely. Every precau-
ton possible is being taken
to stamp out the disease.
We reproduce the follow
ing from the Nashville Ban
ner of Monday afternoon:
DR.. J. A. Albright, Secretary of
the State Board of Health, returned
last night from Bolivar, where he
found on Saturday five cases of
smallpox. 1t was taken to Bolivar
from Iowa by negro boy, who had
the disease in very mild form.
The cases developed there are of a
very malignant type. Everything
has been done by the physicians
and County Board of Health to
prevent the spread of the disease
and to stamp it out.
In an interview in the Banner
when the smallpox appeared in
Tennessee early last summer DR..
predicted that the early
of the disease and
mild form would lead to its becom-
ing epidemic. This prediction has
been justified, there now being
twenty-nine counties over the state
infected.
Speaking of this disease to-day,
DR.. Albright said:
"There have appeared in Ten
nessee in the last six months be-
tween 800 and 400 cases. There
have been six or seven deaths.
From February, 1899, to June 80
there had appeared in the state
like 900 cases and there
were twelve deaths. In some To-
calities the disease seems to have
been milder in character than in
others. In some instances the dis
ease runs a mild course two or three
and then suddenly develops
cases very malignant in character,
so that it is highly important that
health officials as we'll as doctors
shall always be on the alert and
proceed to stamp out the disease,
not knowing at what moment or
line it might develop a malignant
,orm. The entire health service of
he State Of Tennessee are putting
orth every effort to eradicate or
'ather restrict the spread of the dis
