In Memorium.

At a meeting of the Missionary So
ciety of the First Presbyterian church
the following resolutions were adopted
in loving remembrance of our beloved
sister and co-worker, Mrs. Sarah NJ.
Hoss, who has been member and
faithful worker in this Society from its
organization until compelled by failing
health to desist.
With sad hearts and a painful sense
of our bereavement, we recognize the
hand and submit to the will of our
Heavenly Father, and while we mourn
our loss, we would gratefully recall her
gentle influence in our midst-her pres
ence benediction-a and especially her
many earnest prayers for the prospect
ty and advancement of the Kingdom of
Christ.
Resolved, That we emulate her love-
ly Christian character, sacredly and
tenderly cherish her memory, believ-
ing that her prayers Will yet De answer
ed in blessings on our work.
Resolved, That we tender our sin
cere sympathy to the bereayed, COM
mending them to the only source OF
consolation, and trust that their strick-
en- hearts may find comfort in the beau
tiful lines, written by one almost ready
to enter the pearly gates and coming to
you as a message from your sainted
mother:

A good sized sensation has been

POLITICS IN OHIO.

The panic of the administration over
the situation in Ohio, daily grows
worse, and Mr.. Mckinley tells the
Ohio republicans who call on him that
the state must be carried at oil haz-
yards. He sent a trusted personal
message to New York to meet Boss
Hanna when he arrived from Europe
and tell him just how blue things look
from the administrational point Of
view; also to impress upon him the me-
cessity of taking steps to see that
plenty of money was provided for use
In Ohio, 1t is probably the taking Of
those "steps" which caused Boss Han
ma to stop in New York, instead o.
coming direct to Washington. ThC
matter has been discussed in cabine
meetings and two members, Postmas
ter General Smith and Secretary Will
son designated to take the stump. Mr.
Wilson will speak mostly in the agrl
cultural section, his powers OF persua
sion among farmers being supposed t
be wonderful, while Mr.. Smith vii
talk mostly to city and town audiences
The ordering Of the Civilian Philip
pine Commissioners home was also II
huenced to certain extent, by tn
Ohio scare. It is hoped to have tn
next fighting campaign under way, b.
fore election day, and the Civilia
Commissioners are gotten out OF IL
way so that Otis can have no excuf
for not pushing the fighting. :
much for the republican view OF tt
Ohio campaign.

this he failed and they were not long
in finding it out,
The day after the interview came out
Mr.. Tyler wrote Mr.. Brown letter
and told him that while they were for
harmony and would not fight Evans,
they were all for Brown if he wanted to
go to the convention.
Mr.. Brown ignored this letter and
this scared Mr.. Tyler. He got weak
in the knees and called on his friend r.
W. Austin to help him out. He got
Mr.. Austin to get Mr.. Brown to come
to Knoxville to consult with Brownlow.
Mr.. Brown was en- route to Oliver
Springs for a few days rest and he
stopped n day in Knoxville. Brownlow
was there. A meeting was held in Mr..
Tyler's office. Brownlow "cussed" Ty-
Ter for being interviewed. Tyler did
the baby act and said he didn't mean
to say as much as he did. Mr., Austin
said the interview was foolish and hurt
bad, but that it could be counteracted
He wanted Mr.. Brown to give out al
interview in the Chattanooga News an(
the Knoxville Sentinel announcing hi
candidacy for delegate and announcing
that he was in to fight to finish.
During all this conversation Mr.
Brown sat quiet, looked pretty, ant
said nothing. He gave the "Bull Do
of the Watauga" no satisfaction AM
the conference broke up without an
one knowing what Mr.. Browns inten
tions were. He came home, has re
fused to say anything as to whether h
will be candidate or not. His closes
friends say it is a scheme of Brown
lows to try to get Mr.. Brown to carr
the Third district for him. The indies
| tions are that Mr.. Brown will not ru
and will refuse to assist Brownlow
: his fight.

Democratic confidence in success in

can fight. Mr.. Mole an, is now in
Ohio to, remain until after election.
He says he feels absolutely certain OF
being elected govern or, and he is not
the sort Of man to say so without be-
lieying it himself. From other sources
comes. the same sort of news. The
democrats are united and enthusiastic
cally confident, while the republicans
aye divided into factions, some OF
which would rather humiliate Boss
Hanna whom they have never forgiven
for the rough-shod manner in which
he kicked them out Of the state ma
chine, to make places for his bench
men, than to accomplish any other one
thing. There is also much more Ohio
republican opposition to the imperial
istic policy of the administration, ant
especially to the so far unsuccessful
war in the Philippines, than even the
dem ocrats supposed existed until e
Gently. Much of this opposition is 81
lent, and will hardly result in diree
votes for the democratic ticket, lout i

Three C's Extension.
Ohio campaign

Three C's Extension.
Several weeks ago it was announced
in The COMET that the o. r. & @. road
would be extended several miles from
Unaka Springs into North Carolina at
once. This step has been decided up
on after a careful examination OF the
resources contiguous to the proposed
line. The contract has been let to D.
G. Lipscomb, of Gaffney, S. G.. His
foreman is ROW at Unaka Springs with
his family and lot of supplies are ex-
pected to arrive oyer land from Marion
to-day. Other supplies will be shipped
from a point in Virginia where Mr..
Lipscomb is just completing a con-
tract. The contract calls for the bnild-
ing of II miles of road from the pres
emit terminus, few miles above Unaka
Springs to the mouth Of Cane river in
North Carolina and must be completed
by June LIST, 1900, but under favorable
circumstances, will be completed soon
er.
AS previously stated in The COMET,
the present line will be put in first-class
condition. A large force has been at
this work for several weeks. The
bridge over the Nolachucky river al
Unaka Springs will be of wood or stone
piers, it being almost impossible to ge'
iron. On account of the great Difficult
ty in getting rails it is possible that i
will be necessary to take up the tracl
from Johnson City to the Watauga riv
er and use those rails for the extension
The new road win penetrate larg'
forests of hardwoods and rich mag
netic iron ore district. 1t is estimated
that the hauling of the timber alon'
will ann .>ly repay the Company for tn
investm emit. This means increased
prosper ity to Johnson City and the es
tablish ment of several mammoth in

pensions. The deserving pensioners
interest is to have the pension business
not overdone.
But what will barnacle congress
man do if not allowed to feed the
barnacles who boist him on congress.
This he may do by keeping them in a
useless Office, or by civil pension
when too old or lazy to do anything.
The thing in this dispatch which par
ticularly strikes one is the tone of utter
helplessness. The barnacles have the
government by the leg, and will only
let go for a pension-on the principle
that you give horse chicken CUTS for
