WE VOLUNTEER.

We know that Governor elect Frazier
is capable man and will make a wise
governor, but we also know that he
can not run the old ship Of state alone.
He must have help and he should have
the best to be found in the democratic
party. As the Chattanooga Times says
we don't want anything "better " than
editing THE COMET, but we have no
particular objection to something more
remuneratiye. If all the statesmen
confined themselves to editing newspa-
pers or practicing law who would look
after our affairs of state? In order that
Gov. Frazier may have the opportunity |
of selecting a wise and patriotic Reub
to look after the agricultural interests
of the state we have decided to volun-
teer our services as Commissioner of
Agriculture. We recently thought we
had received q call to do local work on
the Congressional Record, but wise
Providence or our unwise constituents
saved us to edit the agricultural depart
ment of the Frazier administration.
We do not pretend to be the "Man
with the Hoe, but as the pen is might
Ter than the hoe we can prescribe for
the hoer and if the advice is followed
an abundant crop is assured. AS
great physician does not take his own
medicine Of course the Commissioner
OF Agriculture is not supposed to make
apractical demonstration of his talents.
If any one doubts that we are Reuben
and will recall the fact that we recently
ran against Brownlow ct al for congress
that doubt ought to be removed. AS q
farmer we are democrat pure and
simple, a necessary qualification it
seems to us, and an expert in raising
everything produced on farm from
children to chickens, see Builtless, ex-
hibit A, to this application. We some
times believe in signs in politics, bal
agriculturally speaking, we believe on.
ly in planting seed when the sign is in
the manure. We concede that Gov
Frazier can get along in his farm worl
without our assistance, as there are
others equally qualified and willing tt
serve, but. it is not so clear to us tina
we can do so we'll without his call tt
work. As our services are offered sole
ly for the good of the state, Gov. Fra
zier is requested to act accordingly.

W EEDS

Consumption is a human
weed flourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young /;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yOurSet any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
