Whiteville Temperance League.

The Whiteville Temperance
League was called together by the
president, Mr.. r. d. Whitley, last
Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock.
The meeting was opened with
prayer by Rev. w. M. Norment,
after which the minutes of the last
meeting were read and approved.
The president then appointed the
following committees:
Rev. w. M. Norme 1t, Rev. J. r.
Hardin and DR.. Inman committee
on legislation.
g. t. Webb, J. w. Bass, w. IL.

J. NJ. Prewitt, committee on agita-
ton.
Mrs. Rebeca Miller, Mrs. S. L.
Pepper, Misses Grace Hardin, Lucy
Mitchell and Vernon Stott, commit
tee on solicitation.
The primary object of this organ.
ization is not to force political is
sue into the present campaign, but
to request and urge the various can
didates for legislative Office to give
an expression as to their views on
the whisky question, regardless of
party affiliations, believing that
whatever is fair for one is fair for
all. If the citizens of the larger
towns and cities want the privilege
of voting on the question, let them
do so. The main object of the or
ganization, however, is to fortify
against the repeal of the four mile
school-house law, as it now applies.
A motion was made and passed
that the proceedings Of the meeting
be sent to the BOLIVAR BULLETIN,
Hardeman Free Press, and White
Vile News, for publication. At
the same time it is requested of ev-
cry citizen of the county who feels
an interest in the cause of temper.

From 1890 to 1900 the

reau printed statistics of
losses of life by lightning.
The work is discontinued.
During the year 1900,713 per-
sons were killed by lightning;
of this number, 291 persons
were killed in open, 150 in
houses, 81 under trees and Sc
in barns. The circumstances
of Isl deaths are not known
During the same year 973
persons were more Or less in
jured by lightning strokes.
On the average,i it is probable
that from 700 to 800 lives are
annually lost through injury
from lightning in the United
States. The greatest number
of injuries occur in the Mid

Lieut.. Wood in China.

We are permitted to make the fol-
lowing extracts from a letter writ
ten by Lieutenant G. D. Wood,
from Shanghai, China, to a friend
in Bolivar:
"Have been in China for about
two weeks on my trip. Reached
Shanghai today from Hongkong
and am putting up at the Hotel Me-
tropole, on 'Bubling Well Road.
1t is rather cold here now and have
to wear flannel and fur-lined over
coat to keep comfortable. China,
from what l have seen of it, is nice
and finely cultivated country 1t
seems that everybody wants to rule
it and all the cities on the coast are
filled with foreign war yessels-all
watching each other.
"This is fine city and if all the
Chinese were removed would pass
as an American city.
"Will probably be here for two
or three weeks. May run over to
Japan before l return to the Philip
pines. 1t is only 400 miles from
Shanghai TO Nagasaki. Am going
up the river in a few days to hunt
duck. The river is nearly as large
as the Mississippi and full of game.
Affectionately,
G.. d. WooD.

W. O. W. Ceremonies.

In accordance with the advertised
program, Bolivar Camp SO, w. o.
W., held their anniversary and dec
grafton ceremonies at Union Gene
terry Sunday afternoon. About fifty
Woodmen formed in double rank
and marched from court square to
the cemetery, where the beautiful
ritual ceremonies were had in the
presence of large gathering of cit
liens.
These ceremonies are interesting
and of great good to the order, and
should be held every year. The
decorations could be made great
deal more elaborate by having the
occasion come earlier in the year
when flowers are more plentiful.
The camp voted its sincere thanks
to the choir and outside participants
for aid in making the occasion a
success.
On account of inability to prepare
for decoration, the Sons of Confed-
crate Veterans postponed their part
of the exercises.

Miss Farris' Entertainment.

In the history of the majority of
the human race there is period
of their lives to which it is a pleas
ure to revert. An instance of this
kind was an ice cream supper given
by Miss Mary Farris at her home,
COAX Villa" on last Monday night.
in honor of her pupils, that marked
the close of her school, which has
been in session for some months
past. The occasion was one of enjoy
ment, and urge number of little
people were present.
The yard was beautifully illumi-
mated with japanese lanterns, and
the interior of the lovely and invit-
ing home had been previously deco
rated and was rendered more at
tractive by the gracious greeting of
the fair hostess. Swiftly the mo-
ments passed while the little guests
engaged in varied amusements. An
interesting feature of the entertain
ment was the ''Star Spangled Ban
ner" pantomime by the school. Suf-
fee 1T to say, they all performed
their parts well and reflected great
credit upon themselves and their
teacher. After that all were abun-
dainty served with ice cream and
sherbet. The tables were beautiful
ly decorated with embroidery and
flowers. Brownsville, Somerville,
Yum Yum, Hickory Valley, Bolivar
and other neighboring towns were
well represented.
After the midnight hour the as.
semblage departed, deeply grateful
to Miss Farris for the pleasures Of
the evening and hoping that they
may again be permitted to attend
another. GYPSY.

Senatorial Comm itteeman Hardeman County.
Under the above resolutions it is
made the duty of the Senatorial
Committeeman in each county to
take charge of the selection of dele
gates to the Senatorial Convention
at Selmer, Aug. %, 1902. Under
the claim TO get an expression be-
tween our two county candidates
the county committee of this county
has undertaken to take entirely out

mittee the selection of delegates
from this county to the Senatorial
Convention. While / have no OBJ
lection, and have never had, to an
expression by Hardeman County of
its choice as between candidates
running for the same Office, insist
that iust as fair an expression of
the county's choice could have been
had if the matter had been left
where it legally and properly be-
longed, to the Senatorial Commit
tee, especially as my colleague, Mr..
Williams, is for one candidate and

in the county, and the holding of
two conventions or primaries, l sub

Senatorial Committeeman impels me
not to sanction or endorse it. With
this explanation, join in the above

Ignorance is bliss until it begins
