The people did not know the ex-sena-

knocked the Farmers Alliance dead

Hazy Mcdowell with his awful pen.
His secretary hooted DIR. D. @. Kelley

Bryan in 1904 as being mostly mouth
and tongue. Everybody who was at
the st. Louis convention heard this.
He got to the point where he could not
speak to the president Of the United
States He abused Bob Taylor from
one end of the state to the other. He
tried to break down a democratic ad-
ministration of the state but never
gave one word of help or advice. He
was anxious to see it fall. He did not
care for the dear people, but he was
anxious for mistakes to be made that he
might criticise or denounce AS citi-
zen from Maury he came forward and
did take a hand in trying to defeat a
bill, the Memphis charter bill, that the
people of that city voted for and in
structed their legislative representa-
tives to have enacted into law. He said
he did not want to be governor, and in
this he will succeed. He denounced
and abused viciously the regularly
elected and constituted democratic
committee of his party because they
would not mind him. To the ex-sena-
tor it is high crime for a penitentiary
guard to get $40 month, The senator
should know that man can not sup.
port o wife and children on $40, the
salary paid formerly. The Ex-senator
cares little for the oppressed and poor,
though, so I will pass that. He failed

of 81 800 a year, when he was already
getting $3, 500. But amt the en-sena-

A Voice From Texas.

San Angelo, Texas, April 90, 1908
Editor Comet:
Dear Cy: I have not written you for
a long time, but 1 am not stranger
nor foreigner, for many dear friends
of other and better days, ever so dear
to me, are there and my heart is there
also. From first to last / have seen
much of the country, but never saw
any [ liked better, or az well, as old
East Tennessee. No wonder it is call
ed "The Switzerland of America, and
its people known for their sterling
worth and solid integrity. 1t was the
home Of Andrew johnson, Landon G..
Haynes, T. A. r. Nelson, james W.
Deaderick, Robert L. Taylor and a
great host of renowned worthless of
whom any country might justly feel
proud.

my afflicted wife might be restored to

not regain her health, 1 have the salts

charged bounden duty. But "the
Angel of the Stars came down" and
took her to a better land than this,
where she shines as the brightness Of

mortal glory. There are tender chords

never did and never will love any
country like East Tennessee, except
the glory land, which mortal eye hath
not seen, neither has it entered into
the mind of man to conceive of. Its
indescribabIe grandeur and sublimity
are past all comprehension. Old Hor-
ace Greedy said, $50 west, young man;
go west, young man." but he never
once said, $50 west, old man" for he
knew it would be improper advice.
When a man gets old he had better re-
main, for the remnant OF his days, with
his friends and acquaintance if he
don't want to become like fish out of
water and feel like an outcast. So let
others do as they may as for me; l am
coming back to my native land [ love
so we'll.
Commencing about the 9th of June
is Confederate reunion at Birming-
ham, Ala, and expect to go by there
to johnson City to spend the balance
of my days. Texas is a grand old state,
with inexhaustable resources and ad-
vantages, but it is country of ex
tremes. When it is dry it seems like it
will! never rain, and when it gets to
raining it seems like it is not going to
stop. Last year it was ever 80 dry
here, but has been ever so wet recently.
Some of the hardest rains ever saw
have fallen, and the Trinity river has
been on rise of forty feet. Much of
the railroads coming into San Angelo
have been washed away, including
bridges and trestles, and so we have
had no mails for several days.

You never saw such war as is being
waged against United States Senator
J. W. Bailey, and most of it think is
very unjust. He is great man, of ma
tional repute, and one of the greatest
orators of our day. He spoke here to
an audience of some 1000, and it made
me think of Bob Taylor. But this was
not the place where the jack commence
ed braying as he began to speak, and
he said, eve will just wait awhile till
this anti Baileyite gets done" There
are lots of little fellows who want his
place, but my opinion is he will be
elected as a delegate to the Denver
convention by an overwhelming major
ity. They have two tickets for dele
gates. You see they have democrats
here enough and to spare. But it is
ever SO foolish to have two tickets,

NV informants have repeatedly re-
sorted to the. use of such epithets
as "sallow," "sore-eyed," "puny,"
"squeaky-voiced," "sickly," short
winded" and extremely nervous.
In my. tabulated reports II is shown
that, out of a group of 25 cases OF
young college students, smokers,
whose average age of beginning was
13. according to their own admis-
sions they had suffered as follows:
Sore throat, four; weak eyes, ten;
pain in chest, eight; "short-wind, :"
twenty-one: stomach trouble, ten;
pain in heart. nine. Ten of them
appeared to be very sickly. The
younger the boy the worse the smok-
ling hurts him in every way, for
these lads almost invariably inhale
the Fumes; and that is the most in
furious part OF the practice. Ac-

'fessor of pathology in Cambridge

session, several OF the very youthful
ones have been reduced almost to the
condition of imbeciles. Out OF 1886

CIGARETTE EVIL
TELLS A Sad AND
PATHETIC STORY

One of the greatest menaces to
our moral and intellectual well-being
today Is ilia fact that cigarette-smok-
ing Is becoming a popular fad among
boys and young men, while the use
of a strong pipe is close second in
favor. Go where you will in this
broad land of ours, and the pale
faces, blear eyes, trembling fingers,
and the foul stencil of cigarette
fumes tell the same pathetic story,
This most serious blight upon the
bloom and beauty of Sour American
boyhood Is chargeable to parental
ignorance and carelessness. For the
past eight years / have been tracing
out the cigarette boys biography,
and I have found that in practically
all cases the lad began his smoking
habit clandestinely, at an early age,
and with little or no thought Of its
seriousness, while the fond parents
perhaps believe that their boy was
too good to engage~sa such a prac-
tice,

get a great deal of satisfaction out
of their cigars and pipes. After a
man has fully acquired the habit,
smoking tends to drive away de-
preston and to make him better
satisfied with his lot and a more
agreeable companion of men and wo-
men. BY this | do not mean that
the smoker has these advantages
over the non-smoker, but rather that
the former. through the reindulgence
of his habit, gets these results over
and above what he has when he goes
without HIS usual cigar. Out of one
hundred such men whom / inter-
viewed, ninety-nine frankly admitted
that smoking tends to injure the
health, and that they would not ad-
wise any young man to begin the
habit. This practice Is very Often
sive TO many delicate natures. is
somewhat filthy at its best, and dis
custody filthy at it's worst, as the
ordinary smoking-car win bear wit.
mesa Often, In public places, even
refined women are forced to breathe
the sickening fumes coming direct
from the nostrils of some coarse,
brutal cigarette smoker. Smoking Is
a practice entirely unnecessary to
the development and refinement OF
the race, and II will in time doubt
less go the way Of the liquor-drink-
ing habit.
