All over the southland there is an
era of building and improvement, and
this portion of East Tennessee is con-
tributing its full quota to the march of
progress. The past few years have

for the better. The old. hap-hazzard

CHATTANOOGA TINES PERTS.

Senator Carmack has offered no crit
icism of the Tennessee platform for not
indorsing Bryan.
A "dignifed loyalty to the ticket is
about the same as stepmother's affec-
ton for an orphan.
The democratic mule might do better
on that canal, if he had chance, than
the republican elephant.
Several small bore guns that volleyed
and thundered before the democratic
convention seem to have hung fire ever
since.
The johnson City Comet is as fully
reconciled to the nomination of Patter-
son as was the old topper who carried
home for medicine quart OF the best
that ever trickled out of copper and
told his wife to make him take it.
This one from the Nashville Ameri-
can is about as dab in the face as any
shot that has been fred lately: "If
Senators 'Carmack and Frazier desire
to have the tariff discussed they will
have fine opportunity to discuss it in
the coming campaign in behalf of the
democratic ticket"
While the Washington representa-
tives of the Tennessee democracy
might have done this, that, or the other
to the state platform, they are now
trying to advertise that some peoples
hindsight is just as good as other peo
pies foresight. The ticket and the
platform will win, and that is enough

THE COMET would not urge nor drive
any paper to support Mr.. Patterson for
governor. We believe each editor has
q right to decide for himself what
course to pursue, but we do believe and
insist that when paper declares it will
give him its support it should at least
stop fighting him. There are papers
in the state that would command great
or repect if they would openly oppose
his election. AS it is their actions be-
lie their words and they naturally have
no influence with their readers.

so much gass off his stomach. By the
