ing off the least noble of the race.
The very disipations of society were
carrying away men who were useless
to society. Politicians of the lower
stripe were succumbing to the lives
they led. The weak and the useless
were giving way for the useful and
the strong. It might seem inhuman
to say it, but it was the law of cree
alton.
Mr.. Talmage was also attentively
listened to by ''surging mass of
5000 people" His reading stand,
we learn, was completely concealed
by large stack of wheat, the full,
ripe ears IMPLYING the productive>
ness of the West. Orange trees and
palmetto leaves from the South fes-
tooned the galleries and the great
organ in the rear of the preacher,
while cotton, corn, grapes and other
products of the country were taste-
fully displayed.
He thought that America was the
best place upon earth to live in, else
100000 Americans would have moved
to Europe last year, instead of
100000 Europeans moving here.
He, also, discussed great fortunes.
He was thankful that the monopo-
istic oppression is less here than
anywhere else, and thought that vast
fortunes for some imply want, but
the evil was nothing here as com
pared with monopolistic oppression
abroad. "Again," he said, ''the ma
ton is more fully at peace than any
other" and added:
Sumter and Moultrie and Pulaski
and Fort Lafayette and Fortress
Monroe and all the other shaggy
lions of war sound asleep on their
great iron paws. Gunpowder out of
fashion. There you stand, side by
side, the blue and the gray. But
there is now no blood on the cotton,
no mark of cavalry hoof on the
wheat. No land on earth 80
thoroughly at peacel 1t is not a
dream, but matter of hard statistics
that all the sheaves bow to our
sheaf
We have also Eetter climate than
any other nation. Epidemics here
are exceptional. You can have plenty
to eat, plenty to wear, plenty to read.
We have Louisiana sugar to sweeten
our beverages, Georgia cotton to
keep up warm, oats for the horses,
carrots for the cattle and oleomar-
garine butter for the hogs Great
laughter and applause. Our mas
tional sheaf is larger this year and
more richly grained than at any time
since the Pilgrim fathers settled
New England. While all other
sheaves bow before ours, let it bow
in turn before the good Lord of the
unparalleled American harvest
These beautiful sentiments passed
over the whole land last Thursday
morning, and that there was real
sincerity in it all, can hardly be
doubted, in the face of so much to
be thankful for.

THE NEXT COMMISSIONER OF AG-
RICULTURE.

IF there is a man In East Ten
nessee who has done as much to
advertise our end of the State, as
Mr.. G. W. Charlton, we do not know
him.
He has devoted large proportion
of his time for the last ten years in
making our agricultural, mineral and
manufacturing resources known
throughout the Union.
He has energy, zeal, capacity and
probity, and we only regret that he
has not had the opportunity to do
all that his heart has prompted him
to do and his hand is capable of do
ing.
We always thought Gov. Hawkins
would have done the good thing for
the State, and the wise thing for
his party, if he had retained Col
KiIlebrew as Commissioner OF Mines,
Statistics and Agriculture; and we
now think that Gen. Bate will do a
good thing for the State and wise
thing for his party, if he should ap-
point Mr.. Charlton as Commissioner.
Middle Tennessee has had the
Commits sionership, and West Tens
nessee now has the Commissioners
ship. East Tennessee's turn has
come; and she has named her man,
and named him with unanimity and
enthusiasm.
A politics that does not build ur
country is not worthy of our
support. We propose to practice
what we teach, East Tennessee needs
advertising; we intend to do our
share of it; but if Mr.. Charlton
should be appointed Commissioner
we will be the moon to his SUM-
We hope all men of all creeds ano
all parties will send up to Gen. Bate

If the comet that was discovered

If the comet that was discovered
by young astronomer in Albany a
week ago fulfilis half of the promis.
es made for it, we may expect to be-.
hold, in May or June, a celestial
spectacle such as has not been
equaled since 1858 or 1911. This
comet, although 200, 100000 miles
from the perihelion, which it will
not reach for three months, shows
bright tail and a starllke nucleus.
The inference is fair that this comet
is very large one, ard that when
it gets into our nelghborhood it will
present a magnificent appearance.
Moreover, Prof. Chandler's figures
show that the comet is plunging al.
most straight at the sun. which it
will probably approach within 100,-
900 miles. The only comets, in the
long list of those bodies whose Or
bits have been calculated, which ap.
preached anything like as near to
the sun as this, are the comet of 37O
B. c., the comet of 1868, the comet
Of 1880, often called the Newton 8
comet, the comet of 1843, and the
comet of 1880. The last named was
observed only in South America
and at the cape of Good Hope, with
splendor, representing perhaps such
I, scene as was Witnessed when the
great comet Of 1924, with failed
to return, as expected, in 1890,
spanned the heavens with it's tail.

Ridiculous Fears Of Englishers.

One Of the most curious things in the
newspaper literature of the present day
is the fierce opposition shown by certain
English journals to the French PROPOSE
ton to construct railway tunnel under
the English Channel from Calais to
Dover. Labored articles columns in
length, are published every week against
the project, which the innocent reader
is asked to believe to be one of the most
wicked and dangerous ones that was
ever conceived. The measure is opposed
not, as might be supposed, because it is
regarded as impracticable, useless, or
too costly, but solely on the ground of
public safety. 1t is seriously and elabor-
ately argued that the tunnel once opened
would increase the chances of hostile
invasion of English soil by France! Any
one but thick-headed Briton would
want no better trap for an invading foe
than to get him in an underwater tun-
mel some twenty miles in length. with a
little corps of sappers and miners at one
end of it. The predicament in which
Pharoah and his hosts found themselves
was nothing compared to the fix in
which the invaders could be placed in
consequence. Yet Johnny Bull persist
emily refuses to take this view of the
case, and stubbornly insists that the
work shall not be done, for the reason
stated above, no matter how much bene-
fit it might be before a war occurs be-
tween the two countries. Washington
