STATEMENT OF DIR. j. j. NEELY,
ASSISTANT PHYSICIAN

ASSISTANT PHYSICIAN
WESTERN HOSPITAL.
Owing TO recent publications in
the press. l feel it incumbent on
me to make the following state
ment:
The morning Mr.. Holiday was
here | came from breakfast We
were eating only two meals day.
and it was about nine o'clock.
met Mr.. Holiday iu the drug store,
where there we're others. do not
know what conversation was had OIL
who was in the drug store before
came in. When he introduced him
self and told me his business, |
readily furnished him the list he
ASKED for, containing the Weakly
county patients, aud also the use OF
the type writer. There was some
time consumed in getting the type
writer, who was patient, and was
on the ward, whom, l presumed, had
the key. In the meantime, before
his arrival, some one found that the
instrument was not locked, and
when l returned Mr.. Holiday was
using the machine, copying the
names from the book which l had
furnished him. The publication says
Ill officials were away and the insti-
tuition was in charge of roustabouts
On the contrary, must say that nc
officials were absent, except DR..
Douglas. the Superintendent, who
was in Memphis, for the purpose OF
having an operation performed on
his son, and Mr.. Luther, the Stew
ard, who was temporarily absent,
but returned the same evening. DR.
Cartwright, myself and full corps
Of the Hospital service were here.
am sorry that such an impress
sion was made. l thought l treated
Mr.. Holiday with the utmost cour.
tesy and respect and gave him all the
attention that | possible could; and
all the information that he asked
for. There were others here at the
time, it being the holidays, and Wis
ring relatives were here, which nee.
essarlly consumed some of our
time.
This statement is made in justice
to myself and others, with the hope
that it may correct any erroneous
impressions that may have been
made.

The Shelby County Demo-
cratic Committee, after NJ uch
discussion, has fixed January
% as the date for the judicial
primaries, and the next day
for the county convention.
The supporters of Judge
Beard urged that the date for
the primaries be made Feb
ruary %, but the Malone fol-
lowing carried Their point for
an earlier date. Mr.. Malone
is confident of carrying

DIR. DOUGLAS STATEMENT.

Only two letters were received
by the Superintendent of the Hos
pital which had reference 10 this
matter, the first letter requesting
a list of the patients from Weakly
county, both county and state pa
tients, but had no signature to it;
hence, l could not tell to whom to
write. | filed the letter and waited
for another letter, which came in a
few days, signed by Mr.. Holiday. l
Immediately turned the letter over
to the book keeper and instructed
him to furnish the list, a. requested
by Mr.. Holiday, which he did at
once. l was absent at the time of
Mr.. Holidays visit to the Hospital,
but will say that l left it i'll the
hands o. competent officials. and
full corps Of the III ospital service.

ELSEWHERE appears an ar
ticle in regard to the Western
Hospital, which explains it
self. The people of Bolivar
know the officials of this in
stitution to be honorable,
courteous gentlemen, who
devote their time and atten-
ton to the care of the unfor-
Inmates under their charge,
and any attempt to cast a
slur upon the management is
unjust and unwarranted by
the facts. It is true that a
mistake was made, but as
soon as it was discovered it
was corrected to the satisfac-
ton of those concerned.

LOCAL OPTION LIFT.

Nashville, Jan. 1s.-The Supreme
Court to-day put it's seal of approval
upon the law passed by the last leg
islature, giving towns of 1000 in
habitants the power to abolish their
charters and reincorporate in order
to get the benefits of the four-m mile
law against saloons.
The decision was rendered in the
case of the state against w. M.
Swain, who persisted in Running
a saloon in Dickson after the town
had reincorporated under the new
law. The place has been in tur-
moil for months because of the re-
peated efforts of Swain to run his
saloon In defiance of law.
SWANS contention was that Dick
son had become a town of more
than 1900 inhabitants, he insisting
that the Legislature fixed the FEEDER
al census as the authority only be
cause of convenience, and that the
growth of town must be looked
to. According to the last census
itants, but by the annexation of ter
ritory authorized by the last legis-
lature it acquired more than that
number Of inhabitants before Swain
began selling liquor.
The Supreme Court held that the
language of the statute must stand,
and the conviction of Swain was
therefore affirmed. The Jail sen
fences in the five cases against
Swain were, however, set aside,
and the fine of $50 in each case was
allowed TO stand.
Swain is the man who operated d
saloon at Midway and who raised
storm by ende tvoring to establish
one at Lebanon.
The decision today is considered
great victory for the advocates of
prohibition and local option, and
will give them greater streng h for
the contest which is sure to come in
the next Legislature.
As soon as news of the decision
reached Dickson, Swain closed up
his place and will quit business.

THE proceedings of our
county democratic conven-
ton, held Monday, are given
elsewhere in the BULLETIN.
The principal fight here was
between Judge Beard and
Mr.. Malone for the Supreme
Bench. In the district mass
meetings held last Saturday
Judge Beard won, the result
showing out of total of II
votes there were SO for Beard
and Is for Malone. But for
the race for Judge of the
Chancery Court of Appeals,
the convention would have
been a tame affair. For this
position the three West Ten
nessee candidates, Messrs.
Mallory, Taylor, and Moore,
were present, and the dele
gates being uninstructed, the
contest was lively and inter-
esting. On the first ballot
Taylor lacked only one vote
of receiving the instructions
of the county. On the Sec
ond ballot enough changed

Quarterly Court it was ordered tina,
Judge McGlothlin secure the servi
ces of an attorney for the purpose
of investigating the solvency of
patients from this county now at
the asylum at Bolivar. Mr.. L. E.
Holiday was employed for that
purpose, and he wrote to Supt.
Douglas, of the asylum, for Ger
tain Information, but no informa
ton was received. A second, a
third and a fourth letter was writ
ten-and still no reply.
"Finally the attorney boarded the
train for Bolivar, and upon arriving
at the asylum found that Supt.
Douglas and in fact all the officials
were away and the institution in
charge of the roustabouts. AT first
the required data was refused the
attorney, but finally after consider
able haranguing it was given him.
The list OF patients was carefully
gone over, record made of the adj
mission of each, and to his surprise
he found that the county was pay
ing the institution the sum of $11
per month for the maintainance of
one patient who had been dead two
years. No notification of the death
of this patient had ever been recelv-
ed by the county officials here; the
the officials of the asylum knew he
was dead and had so recorded it
two years ago; the 81 per month
had been paid for his keeping at the
asylum, aud the questions naturally
arise, what has been done with this
money? What kind of way are
things managed at this institution?
And why was the matter not offici-
ally reported here?
"That there Is something rotten
about this and that fraud has been
perpetrated we have no doubt, and
the matter should be thoroughly
probed to the very bottom"

Nashville American, of January goth.
DRESDEN, Tenn, Jan. 2O.-(Spec
ial.) In your issue of Saturday,
Jan. Is, 1902, you copy statement
from the Dresden Enterprise of Jan
10 in reference to the Bolivar Asy
lum, refer ring to the fact that per-
son by the name of M. Reed, died
in the asylum at Bolivar about Jan
2, 1900, and Weakley County con
tinued to pay for said patient up
until December, 1901.
Supt. Douglas has visited us in
regard to the matter, I'D we wish
to say that he has brought with him
a book from his Office entitled ere
cord of Male PATIENTS" which said
book shows the dea'h and date of
same of each person as they die in
the asylum. Said book shows that
the name of NJ. Reed is interlined
in small handwriting in the usual
column; that the bookkeeper inten-
ded to place the name in the proper
place, but had entered another name
on this line, therefore making an
oversight easy; that this name was
SO interlined after the book had been
checked up, and therefore when the
usual monthly report was made out
and forwarded, the name of NJ
Reed was not erased from the live
list, and consequently continued to
