The Bolivar Bulletin. Hugh "Williams, Editor. Friday, July i, 1904. ANNOUNCEMENT. UEPRES EXTATIVE. We are authorized to announce II. E. CAUTEK as a candidate for reelection to the Legislature from Hardeman County, subject to the action of the Democratic party. FLOATEK. We are authorized to announce J. A. DEMIXG, of Chester County, a a candidate for Floater from the Twenty-fourth Floterial District, composed of the counties of Chester, Haywood and Hardeman, subject to ihe action of the Democratic Party. NOTICE. The first Monday in July being the 4th day, a rational Holiday, we will not hold Quarterly Court. The Court will convene on Tues day the 5th, at 10 o'clock a.m. D. V. McAnulty, Chm. The County Democratic Execu tive Commmittee meets Monday and a full attendance is desired. A white republican, a gentleman of intelligence, who has voted the republican ticket since 21 years of age, stated to the writer recently that he had become disgusted with President Roosevelt, on account of his negro-loving policy. He con eiders him a dangerous man, unfit for the position he holds and seeks to retain, and he savs there are many otner wnite republicans in the South of the same opinion, who will vote against Roosevelt. He said: "The only strength Roosevelt has among white republicans in the South is confined almost entirely to office holders." The plank in the republican plat form which threatens a reduction of Southern representation in Congress on account of "disfranchisement" of the negro by certain Southern States, is not only a plea for the negro vote, but is in keeping with Roosevelt's great love for his color ed brother. Roosevelt has done more to stir up race preiudice than any president since the civil war. As Gov. Vardaman, of Mississippi, very truthfully stated, "the hell born accident wLich put Roosevelt in the White House and McKinley in his grave, is greatly to be de plored." The President may break bread with negroes and he may ap point them to positions of profit, but he little understands the make up of the Southern people if he has the remotest idea that he or any one else can put them on an equal footing or bring about social equali ty between the races. Former Mayor James M. Head, one of Tennessee's delegates at large to the National Convention, is urging the nomination of Sena tor Carmack for the Vice Presiden cy at the St. Louis Convention. He has been sending letters to the del egates from other States urging them to support Tennessee's dis tinguished junior senator, and he is very much encouraged at the nature of the replies which he has re ceived so far. In common with i vast majority of Democrats of Ten nessee, Mr. Head believes that Sen ator Carmack would be an exception ally strong candidate for Vice-Presi den, and he is going to make every effort to have him nominated. In this he will have the hearty co-operation of the entire Tennessee delega tion with the exception of Senator Carmack, who declares that he will, if necessary, violate his instructions and vote for some other candidate American. Different Views About Grover. Washington, June 28. Represen tative John Wesley Gaines refused to take any stock in the revived Cleveland boom, and insists that Judge Parker would be nominated at St. Louis and elected in Novem ber. When asked about Cleveland he replied: 'Cleveland? Why that man's .very name is distasteful to true Democrats. How would you expect him to win when he could not even carry Kentucky? No, eir; it is im possible, especially to Southern Democrats, to swallow this pill, nor will it be forced npon them. Par ker is the man of the hour, and he alone can rescue the country from the evils of Republican rule." At a conference yesterdy between Senator Gorman, of Maryland, ex Gov. Smith, of New Jersey, Col. Guffey, of Pittsburg and John R. McLean at the latter'a home here, Mr. McLean is reported to have pre dicted the nomination of Cleveland in the following words: "Cleveland is ad d old rhinocer os, but he is the only winner in eight. He would stay 8 wake a mouth to appoint all of my enemies) to office, but he in t Tip ifet vntcrrn. I - 1 ter in the Democratic party, and he is the only man that has a ehowincr of beating Roosevelt." McLean controls the forty'six delegates from Ohio. Louis Williams, of Nashville, Tenn., who has just made a tour of the South, is at the Ebbitt. "I want to tell you something that is hard to believe," said he, "all over the South I found men by the score and by the hundreds who are for Grover Cleveland for the Dem ocratic nominee. This talk about Southern people not supporting Cleveland, if nominated, ought not to deceive a child. Not only would the people vote for him, but they would do it gladly. They know he is with them on that rno&t vital of all questions, the maintenance of white supremacy. They know he is with them on tariff reform, and they know now that he was right and most of them wrong on the sil ver question. 't Resolutions of Court and Bar. World's Fair. Editor Bulletin I have put in seventy solid hours seeing the Fair, and still the greater part ot it is yet to be seen. Of course there are some things which attract your attention first which after you have seen them soon become common place. Others which have to be sought out grow in interest day after day. The great mass of peo ple who visit the fair are dazed by the noise, jangle and blare of the "spielers" and bands at the several m cneap siue snows, or are caugnt in the tarnish of a vulgar performance inside by the gaud and glitter with out. That which is instructive and reany worm stuaying are tne ex hibits free to the public in all of the buildings. It is better to spend one hour, gay, in the agricultural exhibits than a whole day on the pike. In the one you will find use ful information as well as wonder ful sights, while in the other you can spend your money for nothing more than a silly laugh. Three days this week I heard the great organ in festival Hall, played by masters from New York and I'niiacieipuia. it is an event in one s life to hear the mighty peals of this, the largest organ on earth It makes the massive Hall tremble witn its tnunaerous peals, it is 63 feet long, 30 feet deep, 50 feet high, lias 140 speaking slops, 99 mechanical movements, 10059 pipeB inch to 37 teet in m a ine largest metal pipe weighs 840 lbs., is 17 inches in n -a diameter, ine largest wood pipe measures 23 x 2S inches inside, and weighs 1735 lbs., has a set of 20 tubular chimes. The combina tion switchboard has 161G electrical switches, capable of producing 17,- 179,899,183 distinct tonal combina tions. This organ contains 130 miles of electric wires, 1300 mag nets, 4 motors aggregating 32 horse power, fills 12 large furniture cars and weighs 250,000 pounds v Due tnis master piece ol genius and world s wonder is being played it does not attract the crowds that jostle into a screeching vaudeville on the pike. July the 4th is expected to be the biggest day of the Exposition, for an elaborate program is being prepared, and all the railroads wilf sell exceedingly low rate tickets. It is worth a trip here just to see the illuminations, cascades and fountains at night. The whole grounds seem to be one great archi tectural plan sketched in fire. On the 4lh of July, the pyrotechnic display will be extremely gorgeous. All the cascades, fountains, lakes, lagoons and streams in the grounds will blaze like seas of flame with Greek fire. This is enough for this week. In my next letter I will describe Ten nessee's several exhibits at the Ex position. Ernest McDaniel, Co. E., Jefferson Guard.

At a meeliog of the Editor Bulletin Since my re turn to Bolivar from the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, where I have been as a student for the last six years, by request of some white friends, I beg to be al lowed to make a statement for pub lication as to what the school is doing. First, through its thirty three different trades, it is teaching an nually 1500 negro boys and girls the dignity of labor, with a view to make them self-reliant and of eco nomic worth. Second, the academic course fur nishes ample facilities to cultivate the intellects of these youths, so as to make them more law abiding, more thoughtful and more honest, hence better neighbors and better workers. . Third, since it is not a denomina tional school, there is an opportuni ty to bring the different denomina tions more closely together: so in stead of fighting different creeds, Tuskegee is teaching her etudents a common sense, practical religion. which is not isolated from daily living. In a word, Tuskegee is training a number of boys and girls in heart,head and hand to be more useful in the communities in which they go and to do better service for their tellow man. Very truly, J.

Dem ing as Sheriff of Chester County, Tennessee, during the past four years, hereby express our apprecia tion of him as a citizen and officer and further express our regrets that Mr. Deming has declined to fill the office the constitutional term of six years. The county is fortu nate in having secured Mr. Deming's services as a sheriff, for under his administration he has so conducted the affairs of his office as to meet the approval of all law-abiding citi zens, and has been a terror to the violators of the law, and we com mend him as a good citizen and faithful officer. We request that the foregoing be spread upon the minutes of the court, and also request that the newspapers of Henderson publish the same. M. F. Ozier, T. F. Stubbleeield, J. W. Robertson, Com. E.

Hender son Enterprise. eBusiness Locals 1 I f i J OBITUARY. On Monday night June, 20, 1904, death invaded the home of Mr. John R. McCommons, six miles north west of Saulsbury, and claim ed as his victim a precious jewel, Henry, aged 17 years, 4 months, and 20 days. We cannot under-, stand why he was taken away in the golden days of his youth, but God knew best and took him from this world of sorrow. His place in the home was inexpressively dear, and the sorrow of father, mother, brothers and other loved ones is very great. II is short life was full of joy and sunshine, and he was cheerful even unto the end. It was a consolation to his dear ones to minister to his wants, and follow him tenderly to the grave. Always honest, kind and courteous, Henry was a favorite wherever known. Nothing could be done to stay the disease that carried him off so sud denly. And now tnat be is gone, and all that cculd, has been done, we commend our sorrowing friends to the matchless comfort of the Scriptures, and to the living presence of the blessed Christ. ' One who loved iiim. Since it has pleased our Heavenly b ather to remove from us our be loved aunt, Addie Ayers, from the church militant to the church tri umphant on high, it becometh us to meekly bow to the behest of Hun who doeth all things well. While we are not unmindful of the loss sustained by the church and com munity, as well as the irreparable loss to ner devoted nusband, we know that our loss is her gain. Iu this hour of our deep sorrow, may He who binds up the broken-heart ed g.ant us the spirit of His son who amid his overwhelming sorrow experienced in dark Gethsemane, exclaimed, "Thy will be done." Mrs. Avers was the daughter of the late Phillip and Nancy Cearlcy, born March 11, 1850. She profess ed lailh in Uurist at about the age of 16 years, and lived a consistent christian until death. She was mar ried to T. J. Ayers September 10, 181. lnelruit ot this union is one child and he and riis tamer sur vive her. She departed this life on the 25th of June 1904, after several years' suffering and waiting for her Heavenly rather fo call her home. She always expressed herself ready to go at His call. Her remains were laid to rest in the Wesley Cemeteiy in the presence of a large concourse of relatives and friends. The funeral services were conduct ed by Rev. W. Q. Young.

There, by and by we all shall meet, And once again each other greet. Beloved ones, weep not in vain, For we shall see her face again. Bt Her Nikce and Nepiikw. Card of Thanks.
