MANY dollars are ually
and we might truthfully say,
almost daily sent away from
home to mail-order houses in
the cities for the purchase of
articles that should be bought
at home. Suppose our mer-
chants bought what they con-
sumed from a distance, what
would become Of the produce
and other barter our farmers
raise? It would'rot upon their
hands. Are the great de-
partment stores interested in
your welfare E? What care
they if you have sickness in
your family, or short crop?
When you deal with them
they require the cold cash,
regardless of circumstances,
and the money you send off
is taken from the commune
ty forever. Appeal to them
when in distress and see what
answer you will get. But it
is different with your home
merchandise is your friend,
he pays taxes which help to
educate your children, he as
sists in building your church,
es, when crops are short and
you cannot pay your account
he furnishes you with the
necessaries of life, and when
death comes into your home
he goes to the undertaken and
stands good for a coffin if
you are unable to buy one.
We should remem Der these
facts. They apply not only
to merchants, but with equal
force to every other home
enterprise.

JUDGE w. II. SwIGGART

JUDGE w, H. SwIGGART,
of Union City, candidate for
the democratic nomination
for Governor, spent Saturday
in Bolivar, forming the ac-
quaintance of our people.
This was his first visit to our
county and he made favor
able impression, as he always
does wherever he goes. Judge
Stuttgart is man of ability,
with clean record both as a
public official and a private
citizen. He is the only cam
didate from West Tennessee,
a division of the state noted,
among other things, for all
ways furnishing handsome
democratic majority for the
ticket, and but few nominees
for gubernatorial h onors.
West Tennessee's time has
come and Judge Swiggart is
the man for the place.

WE regret to learn that
some of the people of White
vile are under the impress
sion that Bolivar is attempt
ing to take advantage, in a
business way, Of the smallpox
situation in that community,
by magnifying existing con-
ditions. We are sure that
there is not a reliable citizen
in this community who would
stoop to such a method. Not
many months ago our town
had an unfortunate expert
ence with smallpox, which
isolated us for weeks-false
reports were scattered by I'M
reliable persons to the effect
that people were dropping
dead upon our streets, when
in truth there was only one
case in the town; therefore,
we are in a position to and do
sympathize with our White
vile friends, and we sincerely
hope that the disease will
soon be entirely eradicatcd.

New sorts of this are offered, and Jetted
robes and trimming, both in spangles
and bead work, are among the handsom-
est and most expensive of the seasons
novelties These garnitures will be well
coined by most women, few trimmings
being so generally becoming and effective.
A shift of favor is apparent in the col
ors considered stylish. WedgewOod blue
is impressively plentiful among the fall
fabrics. Then in Self, it makes some of
the milliner's most charming early models
but women with compilations that are the
least bit muddy must beware of it, for it
Is a very trying shade. In gowns it is
little more kindly, though still it should
be used cautiously. A broadcloth in
wedgewood blue was sketched for the ac-
companying initial. Its yoke was a
gray, blue, red and green plaid, with out
lining, belt and sleeve trimming of velvet
in emerald green. This last color is to be
stylish in all materials and is much more
generally becoming than the wedgewood.
1t will be used to trim black to a great
extent, although whole costumes are
made up in it and are very effective.

There will be a general feeling of sat
isfactiOn that at last a boat-rocking
tiend has been brought up with round
tunr. Frank Rinehart, one of this class,
has been declared guilty of 'wilfully
and feloniouSly killing and numbering
Mary Finifrock," and the act is char
acteriZed as one of criminal careless
ness" Rinehart was out rowing with
the young woman and one other, and,
intending to brighten them, he rocked
and upset the boat, and succeeded in
drowning one. That he rescued the 9th
er did not count with the jury, as, had it
not been for his criminal folly, there
would have been no fatality. The vir-
diet is only that of a coroner'S jury and
it may be difficult to secure this man S
Indictment, says the Chicago Tribune,
and even should he be indicted it still
will be difficult to find any Jaw under
which he can be convicted of murder,
as he had neither 'wilIful nor feloni-
Ous' intention in drowning the girl. It
was simply the act of an idiot rather
than of a murderer, of a man who
should never be trusted in any position
where there is the slightest possibility
Of danger to others, an act of careless
ness and thoughtleSSnesS, which, by its
frequent occurrence, has become tanta-
mount to crime. If there is no law
reaching such cases there ought to be,
and it should apply not only to the man
who rocks the boat but to the man
who didn't know it was loaded" the
man who discharges dangerous fire
works in a crowd, the man who drives
over street crossings at top speed, and
in general to all forms of criminal care
lessnesS from that of corporations at
grade crossings and firms storing explo-
sives, down to individual recklessness
where life is involved. In the case in
question it might be harsh to hang Rine-
hart, as he did not intend to drown the
young woman, but it would be we'll, if
there be any law for it, to put him I'M
der some form of restraint so that no
one shall be exposed in future to his
criminal careleSSneSS. A man is not to
blame perhaps for want of thought y
but others ought to be protected from
his deficiency. In any event, whateve.

Counting from Lincoin'S second term,
we have had nine Presidential terms.
Of the seven men elected by the peo-
pie in that space-Grant, Cleveland and
Mckinley being elected two terms re-
spectively-three have been shot down
by assassins. Two died of these
wounds. The first assassination fol
lowed the excitement of a bitter civil
conflict. The second was undoubtedly
born of a disordered brain irritated by
a heated political quarrel. The third
was without apparent cause other than
a DESIRE in the weak mind of poor
fool, to be rid Of the head of the gov
eminent. The latest shocking deed was
the act of an anarchist, selfconfessed.
And yet as against our theory of gov
eminent, the philosophy Of the anar-
chist falls absolutely. Were the anar-
chist right in the views he advocates
or supports, nothing beneficial could
possibly come from the assassination
of the servant delegated to manage the
executive affairs of a government of
Sthe people, by the people and for the
people. The anarchist, says the In
dianapols Sun, must be looked upon as
the enemy of the state. He must be
dealt with as such. 1t is a sad com
mentary upon our civilization that we
have not before realized this fact-a
sad commentary that our public ser
wants cannot go abroad without en-
countering the danger that is born of
distorted visions and dense ignorance.
The crime was not one alone against
the person of William Mckinley. 1t
was a crime against the Government,
whose representative Mr.. Mckinley
was selected to be. The object of the
anarchist is to attack and destroy gov
ernments, it seems, and we must deal
with him accordingly. 1t is no longer
wise to permit wild-eyed and irrespOn-
sible men, with murder in their hearts,
to dwell among us unmolested.

A London weekly paper reports Wall
lam K Vanderbilt as saying that his
riches have been a bar to his complete
happiness from earliest childhood, ana
have left him with nothing to hope for,
with nothing definite to seek or strive
for" According to Mr.. Vanderbilt S
confession the man who inherits his
wealth gets none of the joy in life that
comes to the man who lays the founda-
tons Of his own fortune. He is simply
a slave in a treadmilI, with nothing bet
ter to do than to spend his life trying to
add to a fortune already greater than
he needs. After reading this touching
lament, one might wonder why Mr.
Vanderbilt does not save his children
from the same fate. According to his
own theory, the best way to make them
happy would be to disinherit them.
That would leave them free to build
| their own fortunes and be happy. Or
he simply might adopt Mr.. Carnege's
methods on a larger and swifter scale
and give away the whole Of his fortune
| before he dies, thus making sure that
no unfortunate relative will be cursed
with the burden of his millions. The
fact is that Mr.. Vanderbilt does not
quite mean what he says. All such la
ments by rich men concerning the mis-
fortune of being wealthy must be taken
with a liberal margin of allowance
| They are only "SOps to Cerberus." Their
real motive is to allay the envy of those
who have no millions by telling that it
is no fun to be a millionaire. The men
| who have not millions never can be per-
suaded that this is so.

provided the dressmaker would not
duplicate them for the American mil
lionairess. The dressmaker promised
and offered Mrs. Yerkes two other
modes gratis. But the American woman
rebelled violently and refused to accep.
any of the gowns unless the whole or
iginal lot were delivered to Der imme.
diately. After a couple of days spent
in argument and expostulation Mrs.
Yerkes instituted suit charging the
dressmaker and the Infanta with CON
spiracy to prevent the delivery of
dresses which she had ordered and
which she had tried on several times.
And because royal princess of Spain
is made a defendant Mrs. Yerkes has
found herself internationally famous.
1t is not expected that another war will
result between Spain and the United
States just because these two women
cannot agree.

decision is the result of experience
