How often do we hear women say: cit
seems as though my back would break, 81
or Don't speak to me, I am all out of
sorts? These significant remarks prove
that the system requires attention.
Backache and :" the blues" are direct
symptoms of an inward trouble which
will sooner or later declare itself. 1t
may be caused by diseased kidneys or
some arrangement of the organs.
Nature requires assistance and at once,

pound instantly asserts its curative
powers in all those peculiar ailments of
women. It has been the standby of
intelligent American women for twenty
years, and the best judges agree that
it is the most universally success

medicine.

votes and Cox taking the count.


Commenting upon the editorial in
THE COMET last week in reference to
Brownlow's letter to the Herald and
Tribune the Memphis Commercial APP
peal says;
"The above clippings are very inter
ing. In view OF the fact that the Jack
son Wing and some of the subsidized
organs of Cox have charged Gen. Pat.
terson with assailing the democratic
party because he opposes the appoint
ment of election commissioners by the
governor, and is fighting the iniquitous
back assessment system, the conclusive
proof of an understanding or alliance
between Brownlow and Cox ought to
make the assailants of Patterson feel
cheap. But it will hardly have that
effect. They are so cheap already that
it would be impossible to make them
cheaper without bringing about their
humiliation.
"Cox has claimed to occupy the same
} position as Patterson on the two issues
we. have named. Some of his adherenti
even claim that he anticipated Patter
son. If, then, Patterson is an assail
, ant Of democracy, SO is Cox. But thu
governor is something more. He is
sub-republican or assistant republican
Mr.. Brownlow is his active supporte

can boss of Tennessee would hardly d.
this if he did not expect to profit b.

o that Cox would be an easy man for th
q republicans to defeat, or that Cox
successful will allow him to name tn
election commissioners in East Ten
nessee, or help him to maintain his as
q cendancy in that division of the state
! Certainly it comes with an i'll grac
a from a side partner of Brownlow to as

Patterson, especially when Cox claim
to be as much opposed to the back as

The Knoxville Sentinel is trying to

General Patterson is opposed to
democrat getting republican votes.

Energy Stored in Coal.

Wizard" Edison has again been
reading the hand of the future and has
found new lines in it from which he is
able to prognosticate remarkable |
things. The most important of these
is the secret Of controlling the energy
stored in coal directly aud without
waste. This, says the wizard, is the
most vital discovery that the immedi
ate future holds for rs. At present 80
per cent. Of the energy stored in coal
Is lost. This tremendous waste goes
off III heat from the chimneys as is es.
specially wasted in the process of con
verting water into steam. An idea Of
the results that would follow conser-
va'inn of this waste energy may be
gained from the fact that an engine
would then, he says, be able to draw
an express train from NewYork to Buf-
falo on two bushel consumption OF
coal he coal evil be put in a recep-
tacle, agencies applied for developing
its energies with unapprecabe vast
age, aud through these agencies cleo
trlc power of any necessary degree will
be forthcoming Some of the details
OF this mighty problem have, he de.
clares, already been mastered.
Such is the wizards message on the
eve of his sixtieth year Mr.. Edison
is constantly studying the palm of the
Future, and the Future, no doubt,
finds him satisfactory as a palmist, for
J his predictions are always of things
|. wonderful, nightly progressive, and
big with possibilities They contain
no dark warnings of wars, pestilences,
J and panics. In word, Mr. Edison is
constructive palmlst and the hand he

Judge Bond could learn something
to his advantage by hearing General
Patterson speak, particularly in the
way of good manners. Patterson COM
plimented the Judge very highly and
in no way attempted to cast any reAec-
tions upon him. The Judge repays
this manly treatment by turning the
whole force of his speech against Mr..
Patterson and trying to leave the
impression that the charges made by
Cox against the General are true when

complete vindication, even upon tech
nical points that he must be familiar

A FABLE.

Last week our brother Sam lost the
measly little job that he has had at the
Tennessee branch prison, located at
Petros. We reckon that Senator John
Isaac Cox concluded that he WAS a
dead one" and had him set aside.
And that reminds us: Once upon a
time a nice old lady went to market to
get a fowl for her Sunday dinner.
Coming up to the table where there
were dressed dickens and turkeys and
so on, she picked up one, pulled its
legs open, popped her nose down and
smelt of it. Then she "phewed" right
out loud The old market woman in
dignantly exclaimed, "Ah, give the
luck a chance, How would you smell
f I were to pick you up and pull your
legs open like that ?" This fable teach
es that John l. may not be tuberose
in the nostrils of the people.
If John 1. has been deodorized or
tumigated since that time we haven't
heard of it.

IT was at Gallatin that Gov. Cox first
made his wholesale charges of graft

In his Jonesboro speech Judge Bond
censured General Patterson for attack
ing the democratic party without filing
bill of particulars. OF course the
Judge may have been ignorant of the
facts when he made the charge but he
has no reason to be and should know
that ignorance is no excuse. 1t is
absolutely unfair for the Judge to
repeat these charges when every one
knows that General Patterson did not
attack the party as whole but did
point out the corrupt spots and called
the names of the individuals and speci-
fed their acts In repeating these
charges Judge Bond corks himself in
the "holier than thon" position he is
assuming.

says:
