A Splendid Effort,

A public man belongs to the
public that put him in position and
the public is interested in knowing
how he does and whether he develops
or deteriorates. This was shown in
the crowd that thronged and packed
the courthouse on yesterday and for
three hours and five minutes lis
tened to the argument of Hon. M.
r. Patterson, the congressman from
the Tenth district, in the Turner
murder case. This public has not
had an opportunity of hearing him
since he entered congress the second
time and the outpouring was un-
precedented.
Those who expected much were
not disappointed. Association with
the great orators in the national
legislature and the thrilling ex-
perience of addressing nation of
$1,000, 900 people may have given
confidence, but not to the point of
producing lassitude or mitigating
interest. He was perhaps more
finished, but not whit less force
full. His argument was principally
legal, in which he reasoned as
closely as Jesuit logician. His
analysis separated and exploited
each incident in the case until the
jury could see every blick and bar

The Bolivar Bulletin.
HUGH WILLIAMS, EDITOR.
FRIDAY, JULY II, 1908.

UPON the recommendations Of
the medical colleges of the State,
Gov. Frazier has appointed a com
mission, composed of eight doctors,
to receive and dispose of the I'm
claimed bodies of persons who die
in charitable and penal institutions.
1t seems there is a scramble for the
dead among the colleges, some, per
haps, receiving more than their
share, hence the request for the
commission, TO parcel them out.
What shame and stain upon the
State TO legalize such disgraceful
and inhuman proceedingl Why
should an unfortunate, bereft OF
reason, unable to provide for him
self, lie denied a decent burial? Nc
one will envy the commission its
unholy job.

The Perfect Liver Medicine.

Mrs. M. a. Jolley, Noble, o. T.,
writes: | have used Herbine for a
number of years, and can cheerfully
recommend it as the most perfect
liver medicine, and the greatest
blood purifier. 1t is a medicine of
positive merit, and fully accomplish
es all that is claimed for it." Ma,
laria cannot fnd lo6gment in the
system while the liver is in perfect
order, for one of its functions is to
prevent the absorption of fever pro.
ducing poisons. Herbine is a most
efficient liver regulator. SOC at Cox

General Crop Conditions.

During the interval between the
first and last days of the week,
warm, dry weather prevailed, which
was beneficial to growing crops, es
peeially cotton, which showed ma
teriaI Improvement, and although
small for the season Was beginning
to make more satisfactory growth;
the crop was pretty we'll cleaned
out as rule. The good showers
that fell during the first and latter
days of the week over the greater
portion of the state had a very ben.
eficial effect on corn and other
growing crops and the outlook is
much more encouraging as to these
crops, some of which were beS in.
ming TO need moisture. Corn is
mostly small, but, as rule, it has
healthy appearance and is max ing
very satisfactory growth and the
fields are mostly clean. Tie work
of threshing wheat and harvesting
oats made satisfactory progress du-
ring the favorable days; wheat is
yielding much below the average as
rule. Sweet potatoes are in good
growth; planting the late crop of
Irish potatoes is still in progress.
Peas and milIet are growing well.
The late rains facilitated the break
ing of stubble land for the pur-
pose of sowing late peas. Spring
clover is reported the best for
years. The shipments of tomatoes
from the western counties have
been the largest known at some of
the shipping points. Apples and
grapes continue to promise good
yields.

ReDulSiVe Features.

Blachheads, pimples, greasy faces
and muddy compilations, which are
SO common among women, especial
ly girls at certain age, destroying
beauty, disfguring and making re-
pulsive, features which would other
wise appear attractive and refined,
indicate that the liver is out of
order. An occasional dose of Her.
bine will cleanse the bowels, regu-
late the liver and so establish a
clear, healthy complexion. soc at

The Boss Worm Medicine.

H. P. Kumpe, Druggist, Leigh
ton, Ala, writes: zone of my
customers had child, which was
sick, aud threw up all food, could
retain nothing on its stomach. He
bought one bottle Whites Cream
Vermifuge, and it brought up 119
worms from the child. It's the
boss worm medicine in the world.
Whites Cream Vermifuge, is also
the children's tonic. 1t improves
their digestion and assimilation of
food, strengthens their nervous
system and restores them to the
health, vigor and elasticity of spirits
natural to childhood. Csc at Cox &

INTERSTATE CORN EXHIBIT.
State Growers to Participate in Corr
Exhibit

Des Moines, March 20.-Iowa corn
growers have been invited to join with
raisers of the golden cereal in other
states in mammoth corn exhibit at
the St. Louis worlds fair. Frederic
w. Taylor, chief of the department OF
agriculture for the exposition, is in
Des Moines to interest the Iowa COM
mission and Des Moines grain men in
the opposition.
"The proposition is entirely new"
said Mr.. Taylor. I'VE are also invit.
ing growers of cotton, tobacco and
rice in other states to combine in theii
respective classes, and make the eX-
hibits in their respective lines the
greatest the world has ever seen. This
is to be in addition to and apart from
the state exhibits, which are to be also
very large and as widely representa-.
tive as possible. The increasing inter.
est in the cultivation of rice, and the
rapid growth of the rice growing in
dustry has influenced the promoters
of the agricultural department of the
fair to set apart department for the
exhibition of rice and rice products.
I'm the corn department, in which
Iowa is particularly interested, there
will be exhibited the various features
of the corn growing industry, and eX-
hauStive lists of the nro1""tS of corn.

GEO. METzGCR is REMOVED.
Bondsmen Asked to Be Relieved From
Responsibility.

Davenport, March POSTMASTER
George Metzger of this city was yester
day removed from office by Special Elk
aminer Stewart of the postoffice de
partment, according to telegraph in
structions he had received to make o
charge in the Davenport postmaster
ship at once.
The action taken follows closely
upon an investigation of the accounts
of the local postoffice at the close OF
which Special Examiner John Mahin
announced that Mr. MetZger was square
with Uncle Sam. 1t was understood
that Mr.. MetZger with the aid of friends
made a deposit of $500 at the bank
where the funds were kept just before
the statement that there was no short
age was made.
Mr.. Metzger's bondsmen notified the
government that they wished to be re-
lieved from responsibility on his &C
count, and this brought Special Exam
liner Stewart here with instructions to
make an immediate change and ap
point in Mr.. Metzger's stead some man
satisfactory to the bondsmen. The
bondsmen met and agreed upon Cap
tain Lon Bryson, who was at once ap
pointed to serve as temporary post
master.
There are three and a half years OF
Mr.. MetZger's term remaining, and ii
is believed that Captain Bryson will
serve the term.
