Bolivar Bulletin, PUBLISHED EVERT FRITA.Tt. QUEEN & WILLIAMS Editors- The Evening 'i'imes, ot Jackson, will commence on Jauuary 5, 1889, the publication of the Weekly Tin.e8, to l issued every Saturday. The Times men are fuP ot energy and publish a good paper and we wish them success. Upon drainuig Lake View at Birmingham the body of Irene Ilawes was found. This ia the last link in the terrible mystery that completes the chain of horrors. Ilawes is etill in jail, jmd Sheriff 8mitb i under $400,000 bond. It looks strange indeed that the sheriff should be tried for upholding the law. The man who believes in mob law should read the histor ot the French revolution a train. From recent investigation it Becms that the convict lease system of Mississippi is a curse to any civil- izod neonle. I lie piisouers are j i treated in a brutal and fchameful manner. Nothing in the dark ages ol European history compare with the cruel treatment they receive. 8 me of the prisoners have been tecei.tly killrd in our own state and we are not nlfojellwr blameless It seems inrtead 1 the penitentiary being a phice of reformation, it ha been losis-cd out to capitalists, who treat those under their .charge- like brutes. It will le remeinlered that early in the fall of this year, some gentle- men from Et. Louis came to Mem phis and formed a trust on cottoi bagging. Under the direction o the criminal judge, the graudjury of Shelby county indicted these men Gen. Peters asked Gov. Taylor some two months ago for a requi sition on the governor ot Missour for the men who formed tho trust But Gov. Taylor has a sympathetic heart for the monopoly that made thousands of dollars out of th faimeisot this country and refused to issue the requisition. T11 eke is considerable talk of railroad to run from Memphis by way of Bolivar and Henderson, 01 though Middle and East Tennessee It is a eelf evident fact that thi road will be greatly beneficial both to Bolivar and Memphis, passing n it will through the rich iron ant coal fields of the eastern and middle portions of the tate. It this roa is completed, in theme item of coa alone, an immense amount can br saved to our 1 eople: Another ad vantage is, we will have direc communication with Memphis, the metropolis of our wealthy state ar. nally the greatest city in the 80r.H1 Her lncilitM-H for shipping, are tit equalled, her natural ndy.mtagcs numerous and her population composed of bus-i lifts men of puhl Fj ii iL and enterprise, who know no such word is fail. Bolivar is situ nted within sixty miles of this great city, still it wid Uke two days to make the trip and attend to any business. Could not this be avoid ed by mi, ring an accommodation tiaiu from heie to Memphis ove one of the other roada that connects with the Illinois Central? It would be a wonderful convenience te the citixens if such an arrange ment could le effected. Ie Bolivar to have another rail road or not? It is a certainty tha the Ship Inland road will pas through the county. Already i baa been built to Middleton and with the proper inducements i may be brought to Bolivar. On every hand we are surrounded by railroads, and trade is being taken from our toyvn iustead of being brought to it. The Charleston road is on the south of us, the Mo bile and Ohio is on the east and the Midland road runs north and west of us. All these roads come into our coi.nty, still only one pass es through Bolivar. We would like to know if there is any induce ment that could be made to bring the Ship Island and Gulf road here. Po allow the line to pass within a few miles ot us will seri ously damage our trade. On the Other hand, if we mcure it, the val. ueot property will be enhanced, new industries will spring up, and an additional outlet will be given to the timber trade which is rapidly becoming one of the South's great est industries. While we do not advocate the shipping of our lum ber north to build up and beautify that section of countrv, still if the Southern people will n"ut acl(, vantage ol the God-given heritage, e believe it i bet-t lor the country to be developed, and this is oue to do it. Nashville has been considera bly excited for the last two weeks over the Bates-Evaus contest and the bagging trust case In the contested election case Gov. Taylor has acted puerile and silly. It is shameful, to say the least, for the governor of the state of Tennessee to issue certificates ot election t both the contesting parties. In the bagging trust case he has beeu untrue to the men who elected him to office. It is a well known fact that the farmers through their diflereut organizations passed more resolutions condemning the trust than any other one organization that ever existed. For months farmers have held their cotton for the pur pose of getting the white bagging to prevent the necessity of using the jute. Thousands of them were not able, however, to hold their cotton consequently they were compelled to sell and forced to use the Jute baggiug. The trust was form ed in Memphis. The judge of the criminal court charged the grand. jury to find an indictment against it if sufficient proof could gotten. The jury found a true bill and the attorney general askel for a requi sition, but the governor put him of fiist on one protest and theD another until he finally told him it was misdemeanor and he could not grant the requisition. But he was reminded of a reqnisiou he hail issu ed for a poor fellow who had 011I3 ben iiuiliv of pistol earning. A run and poweriui cininination, formed to lake j u-1 a lit tie from e.-.ch cotton raiser in the south; a judge attorneygeneral and jury, after investigating the dse upon sworn evidence find a true bill of indict ment still the governor refuses to issue a requisition and gives his decision in favor of this rich trust company of anothei stale, leaving his own people unprotected, and at the mercy of any combination that is formed against their inter ests. Wholesale .Slaughter. Columbus, Miss., Dec. 17-Sev- eral gentlemen reaching this city this morning from Artesia brio news of the wholesale slaughter of a constable's posse near YValaa lak, a small station on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad near Macon Miss. On Friday last a negro and a white boy eot into a fijrht. The white boy's father attempted to sep arate them when he was set upon by the negio boy and his father and terribly beaten. Yesterday the white man swore out a warrant for the negro's arrest, and Constable Seth Cobb weut to the negiVs house to execute i. when he, also, was at tacked by a number of negroes am: leaten. He then summoned a posse of twelve men yesterday evening to a) rest the negro. 1 he posse were tired iii-on from ambush and five were killed outright; and six wound e l more or less seriously. The news spread rapidly, and the negroes were strongly reinforced. Wa'ha lak telegraphed along the line for help, and Meridian responaed with about seventy-five well-armed men They were joined at every station and reaching Walbalak marches immediately to the scene of blood shed. The negroes were barricadei and refused tosurrcndei of give up the dead white. At noon the 'ore es were supposed to Ie about equal and what the result is no one here knows. This afternoon news wa received that the belligerent negroes have retreated to the swamps aud are stubborn, while the nan-com batant negroes are fleeing to the woods 'in terror. Cant. Mc Dowel of the Columbus Riflemen teleyrapl ed the sheriff of Kemper county that his men were ready if he should ask the Governor for military assistance The teleirram was not delivered as tho sheriff was not in town. There is considerable excitement here and the news of the developemeuts awaited with utmost anxiety. A special from Macon, Miss., ays: "It is reported this evening that seven of ths negnes implicated were shot this morning. Two arm ed squads have left here today for th Mpne. of the trouble, and moe bioodshed may be expected. Following is a list f the and wounded; Killed Henry Murrv, killed Seth Cobb, Tom Nicholson, Bill Vaughn, Bill Hare. Wounded Frauk Maury, Tom Giles, Bob Harper, John Dew, Jeff Thomas. Col. Robert I.Chester, the young est man of his age on the continent, who is now prominently spoken of .s the right man to carry Ten nessee's electoral vote to Washing ton, swam the Obion river in May 1823, spei,t the night with tho fa mous Davie Crocket, ate bear meat with a butcher knife and cane fork and Blept in a bear ekin. During tha night Crockett told the Colonel he had killed between forty and fif ty bears that fall and winter and he had the skins to show for it. Da vie called his rifle "Old Sookey" and he rarely missed the mark with t: Transfers- A list of uoveyances made in the county from Dec. 10, 1888, to Dec. 19,1888: J W Wilson to J L Lax, tiutt.

TRAIN KOBBESS. The north bjuud express train 011 the Illinois Cen'ral, which is due at Bolivar a t 3,25 was robbed in Duck Hill, Miss., at 10 o'clock on the night of the 15th, and three thousand dollars taken from the ex press messenger's car. Three men boarded the engine at Duck Hill, and remained on it until a few miles from the station, where they oider ed the engineer to stop. They were met at that place by a party of cou federates who assisted in taking charge of the engineer and aided them in robbing the car. The con ductor went out to inquire the cause of the stop and upon investigation discovered what was up, and re turned and informed ihe pabsengers that the car was being robbed, and asked for assistance. Mr. Hughes of Jackson was the only oue who rescinded, and snatching a Win cheater rifle from a negro, he and the conductor started after them Altogether about a dozen shots were fired. The robbers and conductor wtru unhurt, but Hughes was killed. After the work was accomplished they made their escape aud have net been captured, though blood hounds have been pat on their trail. the wires were cut and no commu nil at ion could be had.

Editors Bcixetin The Souther Lumberman of December 1, winely sug jests to the newly elected general assem bly of Tennessee to order the state com mixsioner of agricuhuie to formulate t report of forest areas, forest trees, shrubs ami plant that are of commercial value The editor of the Lumberman will still further deserve well of his country if he will induce the legislature of Tennes-see, and of other Souther n s ates in whose as- Ke-inent laws the proposed requirement does not already exist, to make to their assessment laws the slight amendment requiring of each landholder, in giving in annually his number of acres lor as sessment, to stat e, according to the best of his knowledge and belief, how many of those acres are uucleared aud how many in the wcods. Such a law would furnish, at a very small additional expense, dated from which the forest area of the state could be known in any year. At present, estimates as to the forest area in Tennes see, and some other Southern states are mere conjectures baned on the census of 18S0. The South is now, by far Lne most important timber region of the United States, and more definite knowl edge of iu forest area is very desirable. Jakks Btars, Covington, Tenn., IVc. 17, 1SS8.
