III HAMILTON, ALABAMA, THURSDAY FEBRUARY 16, 1888 NO. 45 The Marion Herald – Issued Every Thursday by the Herald Publishing Co EDITORIAL NOTES The National Democratic Committee will meet in Washington City on 22nd inst to select a time and place for holding the National Democratic Convention. The theory set forth by advocates of the Blair Bill that “No educated man can be a bad man,” is about on a level with the Henry George theory of suppressing poverty by delivering pay lectures. --------------- METCALF, the defaulting agent, has doubtless gone off on a pleasure trip to South America. It is to be hoped, however, the invalid will ere long return to Marion, where safely lodged in a cozy little room at the hotel de WEATHERLY, he can a breathe the pure mountain air, drink our fine water and soon recover sufficient strength to handle a coal pick at Coalburg. If the advocates of a protective tariff were called upon to support a measure tending to an increase of the present rate of wages paid to the laboring men of our country, which measure did not make any provisions for the filling of their greedy pockets, you could not find enough of them in Alabama within the next en days to get up a decent fourth of July picnic. ---------------- NEWS IN GENERAL ------------- But twelve Indians of a tribe of 1,000 are left in the Yosemite Valley.

Detective Sullivan’s trial for the killing of Editor Ellis of the Hornet, is progressing slowly in Birmingham. It is probable, however, that he will be acquitted. The assertion was recently made in our hearing by a high-tariff man; that there are 195,000,000 square miles of local in the United States – [Moulton Advertiser] Fred W. Watkins, late a prominent member of the Young Men’s Christian Association, of Birmingham, has skipped for parts unknown, leaving a number of warrants and creditors behind. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER THE GRIP BREAKS – accident on a Kansas City Cable Road – One Hundred Persons Injured RUBE BURROWS ARREST – [Mobile Register] Conductor Callahan captured RUBE BURROWS yesterday. He didn’t wire the Montgomery police to help him either. He found him engaged in a fight on the railroad track between this city and Birmingham, with an other gay bird, and while they were fighting he caught them both an d carried them first to Birmingham, where he turned one of the captives over to a reporter on the Chronicle of that city; but he kept RUBE, and last night he had him on exhibition at Dave Fleming’s restaurant. The Captain had him under complete subjection, and he had learned RUBE several tricks, which he performed to the delight of the crowd present. He would drop over on his back, shut his eyes, and feign death, and when the Captain would cry out. “Montgomery police!” he would jump up instantly and look around wildly. As it happens, RUBE BURROWS is a woodchuck and is named after the celebrated outlaw. John Bass, a negro supposed to have been implicated in the recent robbery at Jasper, was arrested and lodged in jail t that pale a few days ago. When arrested, Bass had three rusty rabbit feet in his pockets, which proves him as belonging to that mysterious class, known as the “Hoodo” race. Several articles missing from the stores, were found in his possession, and he was wearing a pair of pants, evidently taken from Gamble and O’Rea’s store. ---------------- THE BURGULAR AND THE LONE WIDOW We are pleased to hear that Mr. Henry F. DeBardelaben and other capitalists are negotiating for property at Village Springs, with a view to building a town there. The location is twenty-five miles South of this place, near the line of Jefferson County, and in proximity to the most valuable ore beds in the state. – [Blountsville News] Simmons Liver Regulator Eighteen Eighty-Eight is a remarkable year. There will be fifty-three Sundays, five eclipses of the sun and moon between them and one grand eclipse of the Republican Party – [Montgomery advertiser] METCALF, the defaulting and absconding Southern Express agent, was traced to this city and was lost sight of on the south bound Louisville and Nashville train. As METCALF is a consumptive, it is supposed that he has gone to Florida or Cuba for his health – [Birm.

Mr. W. R. WHTIE paid Aberdeen a visit on last week. A fine son was born to Mr. and Mrs. STANFORD on last week. Mr. FRIERSON LANGSTON, of Caudle, was in town the first of he week. Mr. C. E. CARTER, of Detroit gave the Herald a pleasant call on last Tuesday. Mr. ROBERT HUGHES, of Bexar, was in to see us on last week. Call again BOB. Dr. GUYTON offers his professional service to the public. See his card in another column. “Old Tanglefoot” was [putting in his work very effectually on our prohibition streets last Monday. Mr. W. STEADHAM, of Bexar, was in town on Monday last and gave our sanctum a short but pleasant call. $1035.00 was the amount deposited by Judge MATTHEWS and Sheriff LODEN with the absconding agent METCALF. The sociable, given by Mr. and Mrs. GAST on last Tuesday night was pronounced by all present, a perfect success. Mr. J. H. FREDERICK, a clever gentleman, from near Hackelburg gave the Herald a call while in town on last Saturday. Married: Near Bexar, at the residence of the bride’s mother on 9th inst, Mr. W. E. KNIGHT and Miss LEANNA WIGINTON. Any personal or local news item you can furnish us will be thankfully received and will help us to make the Herald a good readable paper. Married: On 11th inst at the Residence of Rev. JOHN ARNOLD, in Bexar, Mr. W. A. BARNETT and Miss SARAH A. ROSE of Rara Avis, Miss., the Rev. JOHN ARNOLD, officiating. The young people met at the residence of Mr. W. T. GAST, on last Sunday night and while away a few hours quite pleasantly, singing, “When shall we meet again?” Mr. W. T. GAST recently purchased two guinea pigs from a band of Gypsies while camped near town, and people not familiar with the little “critters” will put themselves to more trouble to see them, than an ordinary school boy would, to have taken a peep at Jumbo. HENRY WISHIDIM and GEORGE BOZEMAN, two young white men, were brought to this place on yesterday by Messrs. G. G. NORTHCUTT, J. B. GUIN, and T. A. MARKHAM, and safely lodged in our county jail, charged with having outraged a lady living near Caudle, this county, on 11th inst by the name of CALINE PATE. We assure “Plebian” that there was noting in his spelling or punctuation that would lead us to favor “Universal Education” by supporting the passage of the Blair Bill. While we do favor an act that would aid our public schools, we are not prepared to accept the above mentioned bill as we understand it. Plebian is a very clever fellow, and while we are forced to differ from him in regard to the Blair Bill, we admire his pluck, and could readily agree with him on many other important questions. PLEBIAN TALKS ABOUT JIM’S, THE STAR EYED GODESS AND THE BLAIR BILL Bill Arp, the celebrated Georgia humorist and philosopher, in a late letter to the Atlanta Constitution, says” It is curious that most every devilish boy in every school is named Jim. The very name seems to make boys devils” And again he says: “They generally make notable men, and some of them climb very high.” He then gives the names of some illustrious Jim’s who have held exalted positions of honor and trust in this great Republic, from its foundation down to the presint (sic) time. Since reading his letter, I resolved to investigate the Jim’s as far back as the name appears in history, for the purpose of trying to find out if there is really anything in a name. The first Jim that history gives any importance to is St. James, whose Epistle appears in the New Testament. From a careful reading of that Epistle, it seems to me, no one can help admitting that he was a great and good man, although he wrote but little, yet in that little, there is much contained. If any one will read that Epistle carefully and digest it thoroughly, I think they will be profited thereby and readily agree with me. Take as a sample, the verse which says “Pure religion and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: To visit the fatherless and widows in their afflictions, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” This conclusively proves that the mere act of attending church and rehearsing long prayers will not of itself save any one. But that religion to a great extent, consists of doing good to our fellow creatures by trying to relieve them of their burdens, thereby making them happy; and by so doing, we will confer happiness upon ourselves. But let us go back to the Jim’s. Scotland, I find, had six King Jim’s and the sixth one, was crowned King of England. To him we are indebted for assembling of the Council of seventy, and the authorized version of our English Bible. We will now come to our own state and County. We have the Hon. James L. Pugh, U. S. Senator, a man I love and respect, because he is not a fool about the tariff, nor the Star-eyed Godess of reform, he occupies the middle ground that all conservative men can consistently stand upon. What’s the use of a fellow getting cranky about a theatrical Star-Eyed Godess, when there are plenty of neat Star-Eyed Godesses in our own country. I would not bet a nickel on a theoretical Star-Eyed Godess of Henry Watterson’s make, but a well rounded, plump, rosy, live, frolicsome, flesh and bone Star- Eyed Godess, will do to bet on, and “don’t’ you forget it.” Then I love James L. Pugh, because he is in favor of the Blair Educational Bill. I am in favor of Universal Education. If we must have Universal Suffrage, constitutional or non-constitutional, we need better teachers, better schools and more of them. We need the money, and let’s have it. Me thinks after you get through re- writing, re-punctuating and re-spelling this Epistle, before putting it in type, you will be a believer in Universal Education and the Blair Bill. In our own County, we have JIM PEARCE, JIM HAMILTON, JIM SMITH, JIM HALEY, JIM WARREN, JIM PROVINCE, JIM MCRAE, and a host of other JIM’S and lat, but not least, JIM CLEMENTS, whom the Birmingham Herald says, must be a daisy, all nice gentlemen and jolly, good fellows, yet, I would not be surprised, if we could get down to the bottom of facts, we would find they were devilish bad bys when they went to school . I don’t’ believe, not withstanding all the evidence, that there is much in a name, et, after mature deliberation, I have decided to name all the male decedents of the house of Plebian, Jim. PLEBIAN SKIPPED OUT Winfield, Ala., Feb. 9th, 1888 O. E. METCALF, formerly agent for the Southern Express Company at this place, skipped on February 3rd taking with him not less than $1,800.00 which sum f money had been entrusted to him to express by the Probate Judge, Sheriff – Tax Collector of Marion County. Of course, Marion cannot afford to lose this money, neither will she do it. For acting as he (METCALF) was in the capacity of agent for the southern Express Company, and giving his receipt as agent, the Company is bound to refund the money on the presentation of those receipts. METCALF left Winfield for Birmingham on 3rd of February, stating as his excuse to your correspondet and others that he had a permit from Mr. J. G. PINKERTON, M. T. to go to Birmingham to take an electric and medicated bath, and to return to Winfield on train No. 2 the next morning. He also stated that the agent at Jasper had hired him that by going there a certain physician could accommodate him to an electric bath which would probably cure him and that he might stop there instead of going to Birmingham. He protracted absence aroused suspicion in the mind of the writer which led to a determination to investigate the matter, and the said investigation disclosed the fact that one of the Southern Express Company’s receipt books as in the freight room where METCALF had tried to conceal it, and further that no entry whatever had been name on the books of the packages of money received no delivery, whereupon I wrote to the Supt to send a ma down to investigate the matter thoroughly. Mr. Pinkerton sent a man down the next evening to take charge of the depot and act as agent pro tem until he could get a permanent agent. He also sent me a letter by the man, stating that ex-agent METCALF had wired him that he (METCALF) was suffering with severe toothache, and had made arrangements with a dentist at Birmingham to have it extracted, and wanted to know of me if METCALF was really suffering from toothache. In this, as in many other things, Metcalf “lied”. I then wrote to the agent at Jasper and he said that he had never had any conversation over wire for otherwise, regarding an electric bath, or anything pertaining thereto. I wrote up METCALF’S description for the Southern express Co., which will be handed to the detectives, and I think that ere long he will be apprehended and securely placed behind the bars of our county jail. B. P. I. HACKELBURG Editor Herald: I again attempt to write you the news from this locality. The Farmer’s are busily engaged sowing oats. We are sorry to note the death of Miss LONIE BALLARD, which occurred on last Wednesday evening. The bereaved family have our heartfelt sympathies. Plenty of seed oats in Hackelburg for sale. Hackelburg is afloat with candidates, some for office and some for matrimony. It is said that some of the candidates in this county will get a good vote down about Fulton and in the suburbs of Aberdeen. We have one candidate, who says he is not running himself, but the people are running him If you want a good watch or a pair of scissors, call on AS. A. ESTIS. GLEANER It is now said that Henry Clayton will not compete for the attorney generalship. The present incumbent, we believe, is thus far unopposed for the place. – [Dispatch] WALKER COUNTY NEWS Eldridge, Ala., Feb. 5, 1888 Mr. Editor: It has been some time since I have written anything for the Herald, and Eldridge has improved so rapidly that I hardly know where to commence. Eldridge has built up and is now one of the “real nice little towns” of seven stores, two hotels, church and school house, Masonic Hall, depot and section houses. The names of the firms doing business here are as follows: KELLEY & KELLEY, HANEY & WILLIAMS, BAGWELL & Co., WILBURN, and his accomplished lady have a fine stock of goods, KELLY & Sons, LANE Bros., cousin JOSH, the fox hunter, is a resident of this place. THOROUGHGOOD has a store and rock quarry here and is shipping rock by the car load. GALLAHER & Son have a fine saw and grist mill and plainer, which they are running almost constantly and still notable to meet the demand. Dr. SHURLEY and LARK GALLAHER have been on a trip up in Marion, near Allen’s Factory. JOHN W. TIPPER, of Trinity, is in town today. Mr. MORGAN PEARCE of Texas, Ala. is in town this week. Mr. W. J. BAUGHN, of this place, was breaking a young yoke of oxen recently. To prevent them from running the yoke he tied their tails together, and when he took the yoke off a few days latter he forgot to release their tails, hence the two beasts became tired of each other and one of them starting in a direction contrary to the other was forced to sacrifice his tail, which eh did and the big one now carries the caudle appendage for both. TOM LATHEM, who occupies the position of watchman at the R. R. cut near this place, flagged down a train and the engineer appearing asked him what was the matter. “I gonney” said Tom, “I thought she war running too darned fast.” Poor Tom, it is pretty safe to say that he never got any pay for the Bell sheep. The MUSGROVE Bros. of Jasper will open a coal mine near this place soon. Some of the boys were taking on a little too much “red liquor” here yesterday. So much for prohibition.
