4 STORM BE E WJNH.

There are indications that it will not always be treason for Republicans to favor reduction in the tariff. And some Renublicans are already saying that if it is treason make the most or it. The letter which Speaker Hender- son has received from a prominent Re- publican business man of his own state is an illustration of what is growing
 The Sneaker had rebuked a previous correspondent for saying that "a storm was brewing which meant mischief to the party Now MT, Birge enlorces lAe warning. He is not a theorist but a practical man. who has been in the su- gar business for half century, and he insists that the tariff on both raw and refined sugar can be reduced one-third without injury to any interest More uver MT. Birge turns to the general question of the existing tariff and finds a growing sentiment in favor of redue-
 tions. There are other 'lusty in- fants, says MT. Birge, that have been so prosperous in the last ten years as to have become arrogant and domineer- ing. and who own the earth, especially the American consumer, and who say to him: What are you going to do

PoE,s MILITARY RECORD.

Edgar Allan Poe, author and poet, according to the records of the war de- partment, enlisted as a private in the United States army, serving nearly two years with distinction--and was honor ably discharged. His enlistment, which took place three years after Byron s death in Greece, was a boyish freak prompted. perhaps by reading books Of military adventure. Poe served under the name F. A. Perry, his right name coming into the record only in connec- tion with his offer of as substitute. The enlistment was at Fort lndepend- ence, Boston harbor, May 26, 1927.
 Poe is described by Lieutenant Gris- wold who enlisted him, as 22 years old, , feet inches in height, gray eyes brown hair, and fair complexion. He was assigned to battery H, First artil- lery, which was soon afterwards trans ferred to Fort Monroe, Va, Nearly two years after entering the army Poe was advanced to the on-commissioned staff, having while at Fort Monroe shown ability that attracted attention On April 14 1929, he offered substitute and was honorably discharged, having at that time the rank of sergeant ma jor,
 On July i, 1880, he was admitted to the military academy at West Point and on March of the following year was dismissed by order of court martial. having grown tired of military life and purposely violated rules and regulations which he knew would cause his dismissal.--From the Washington Post. .

THE BoERS, LATEST EXPLOIT.

THE ROERS' LATEST FXPLOIT.
 England is in the dumps again, and with good cause, She has been con vinced that the Boers were being surely if slowly worn out" and has not eN- pected any such misfortune as that re- ported yesterday Lord Kitchener greatly regretted" to have to send bad news of General Methuen, The bad news was that Methuen had been de7 feated and captured in an early-morn- ing fight with his old-time antagonist General De Larey. He was moving with nine hundred mounted men, un- der Major Paris, and three hundred in fantry, four guns and pompom, from Wynburg to Litchenburg, and was to meet Grenfell, with thirteen hundred mounted men, at Roviraine's Fontein' Choosing favorable place between Twebosch and Palmietknill the Boers attacked the English and prevented them from meeting Grenfell General Methuen in addition to being captured was wounded in the thigh, three Brit ish officers and thirty-eight men were killed. five British officers and seventy two men were wounded and one British officer and two hundred men were cap- tured. but released subsequently.
 Those Boers certainly do die hard. What they will next do to cause an other regretful report remains to be seen. It is hardly likely that they will go to London and kidnap King Edward before he can be formally crowned, but they may get another British General if any is careless enough to expose him self without adequate protection.

 The meaning of the leaves,
 The song the silence weayes, Where little winds make moan? Would you know how sweet The falling of the Till,
 The calling of the hill-- All tunes the day repeat? Neither arms nor art,
 Nor toll, can help you hear; The secret of the ear Is in the open heart. John Vance Cheney, in Century

The people who thought Galveston had geen wiped off the face of the earth for all time want to train their gray matter on different line of reasoning, said man from the inland city the other day. "Galveston is rapidly re- covering, and within a very short time will be in even better condition than she was before The people down there happen to possess real nerve, and they are proving it every day. The latest move is an issue of bonds to the extent of S1, 800 900 to raise money with which to build sea walls to prevent a recur- renee of the disaster of a year and q half ago The credit of the city is still good throughout the southwest because the capitalists down there know what we're made of.

The Palatka (Florida) News relates remarkable story of an error made by Governor Jennings in filling out war rant for the execution of J. B. Brown, a negro murderer. By some unexplained blunder the governor omitted the name of Brown from the document and in- serted in it's place that of Noah J.. Tilghman, of Palatka Methodist minister, white man and one of the most respected citizens of the town The sheriff was directed in the warrant to hang the Rev MT Tilghman Of course he did not sdo so, but the minis ter is very much annoyed over the incl dent and feels that an apology is due hin--a view which strangely enough, the governor refuses to take.

A remarkable instance of nerve and politeness is reported by the Atchison Globe W D. Carrolton, while feeding a corn-shredding machine, had his left arm drawn into the machinery and it was cut short off, bone and all, at a point between the wrist and elbow. He did not cry out and he did not faint, and he conversed cheerfully while rid ing in wagon number of miles into Atchison. At the doctors office he walked up and down holding basin under his bleeding member while the doctor was getting ready for the opera tion, and when in his walk he was obliged to pass in front of a man he apologized for the rudeness.

The Jewish New Year.

"Rosh Hashonah," the Jewish New
Year, began at sunset Wednesday, the
date in the Jewish calendar being the
year 1858 of the Jewish era.
The festival of the new year is called
the ebay of blowing the shofar," or
"day of remembering" The blowing
of the shofar (made of rams horn is
signal to awaken worshipers to in
creased activity and earnestness in the
publication and sanctification of their
souls. The first ten days of the year
are days of increased devotion, earnest
self-examination and new efforts to lead
virtuous and godly life.
The tenth day of the seventh month
Tishri--is the most solemn of all the
holy days in the Jewish faith. 1t is
the day of atonement, on which "God
will forgive you, declaring you purified
from all your sins before the Lord.
Shall you purify yourself ?"-Lev. xvi,
30. 1t is day of fasting, praying and
repenting, confession of sins and sup
plication to God for forgiveness. The
fasting begins on the ninth day of
Tishri, which will occur this year Oct.
10 at sunset, and lasts until the same
hour of the day following, "And this
shall be statute forever unto you /;
that in the seventh month, on the tenth
day of the month, We shall af1lict your
selves. Lev. xvi, 30. "And it shall
be unto you sabbath of rest, and We
shall afflict yourselves on the ninth

Another Soul Made Happy.

Why, what has made you happy, says
one. Why, have found a man who
has been nominated for the high Office
of congress, which once was and must
be again the sole gift of the people,
without the promise of office, money,
whisky, tobacco, or anything else that
the devil may have to buy votes with.
Happy? OF course I'm happy. Cy
says he is out and out against DOODLE
ism, and will denounce it on every
stump, and is in favor of the election
laws being enforced to the letter. Why,
| thought | was DISTINGUISHED, for l
had decided long ago to never vote for
any man that tried to buy himself an
office. Shame on such state of affairs
Who can stop such work in elections?
The candidates only. l believe that
every voter in my district knew several
days before the election who had the
bags. The people knew that Judas
had them when Christ was crucifed.
Isuppose he settled his just as these
did theirs at the voters who would sell
their birthright for a trihe, as Esau did
his, and brought disgrace and bondage
on his posterity. Are not our free
American citizens bringing the same
curse on themselves by selling out to
the rich and to those in power2 Does
not the Word say, "Do not the rich OPP
press your" What hope can any poor
man have to educate his sons under
the present state of things in elections?
A poor mans son may burn the mid
night lamp pouring over his books, and
then work hard to pay his school bills
till he has mastered the sciences and
has gained the esteem of every citizen
in all the land, yet he need not offer
for any high Office, because he is not, in
the first place, able to buy the nomina-
ton. And this state of things is not
only to be found on the top, but reach
es as low as school director, that there
may be place fixed for the favored.
And even men who have been called to
work in Gods vineyard have been ac-
cused of feathering their own nest.

ed for time, but | am going to shout

HarmOn-Tyler Contest.

The Harmon-Tyler contest was called
Tuesday before Judge Haynes in this
city, pursuant to an order heretofore
entered in the cause. A motion by
contestee to dismiss was overruled and
court was adjourned until Wednesday.
When the case was called Wednesday
Harmon asked to amend his bill,
claiming that he had discovered new
evidence, but the court overruled this
motion also. Counsel for Tyler then
asked to file an amendment to his cross
bill and it was allowed. After this
skirmish Harmon announced that he
was not ready for trial and asked for q
continuance until October 10 upon the
ground that large amount of evidence
had recently been taken by Tyler that
he had had no time to rebut and that
he had been obstructed in taking proof
by Tyler in various ways. The case
was continued and an order entered
that Claiborne county witness ans
wer certain questions that he refused
to answer on the ground that he was

Do you have honesty and purity? If
you do, you will shout too and vote for
the man that holds this banner the
highest.
I have nothing to say against Mr..
Brownlow. He deserves much credit
for some things he has accomplished,
but the world would just keep tnrning
and the Soldiers Home keep building if
his funeral should come off tomorrow.
The truth is, Walter P. Brownlow
and Cy H. Lyle are two jolly good fell
lows in their way. OF course they are
old sinners, so to speak, but Jesus
Christ came not to call the righteous,
but sinners to repentance. And Paul
says for us to follow him as he follow
ed Christ. So, if Mr.. Brownlow will
repent and climb the rostrum and bold
ly and sincerely denounce men for sell
ing their principles, | will take the let
tiers that spell Walter p. Brownlow and
Cy H. Lyle and SO arrange them as to
make the happiest sentence and shout
it in honor of both candidates for con-
gress. Sam Jones sings song this
way, Happy on the way, happy on the
way, bless the lord, Tn happy on the
way" The man that hits the devil the
hardest on buying and selling votes
can sing this song on his way to Wash
ington.
Come, boys, let's give Cy an ovation.
Let's subscribe for THE COMET till it

OF course, we like our mail men, but
