Brownlow Finally Signs The Fam
ous Agreement.

Coo @AS ANOAA4SA1te
And then then the man from the
First signed the instrument and hand
ed it over to Dick Austin, who had
been sitting there, in the language of
The Americans informant, blocking
like the ghost of Lii Hung Chang, y
while Brownlow had been talking.
"There, Dick,n said Brownlow,
''sign that and then make an affidavit
that you didn't and maybe you can be
reelected if you have no opponent"
Austin signed the paper, winked at
the President, and he and Brownlow
left Sanders walking around with his
hands crossed behind him, looking at
the pictures on the wall, while the big
President patted them on their backs
and laughed them out of the door.
That is the story as told The Ameri-
can. The Americans informant add
ed the following comment:
"Brownlow and Austin are saying
nothing, but that they were bucked
and gagged and compelled to sign the
paper, there isn't the slightest doubt.
Sanders is said to have laughed at
Brownlow's discontinue and to
friend, l understand, that he confded
that the President made Brownlow
and Austin toe the mark, and that if
he hadn't he (the Presidency would
have taken from them even that little
which they had.
''But Sanders will suffer. The big
men, the men in his faction who are
bigger than he--such men as Essary,
Murray, Walker, Chas. r. Evans, w.
n. Turner, Judge Randolph, Poston
and others who have made him what
he is, politically, will not submit to his
dictalion in the matter of party policy.
He will find that the revolt is wide
spread when he investigates.

Cling in, one of those Mountain Branch

the mountain arrived there not only
home sick but stranded. He came 10
Mountain Branch, who benefited him
during his absence which he cherished
highly.
Capt Bullock, one of the most prom
inent officers in the Mountain Branch,
left yesterday. He goes to visit friends
in Youngstown, Ohio, and Indianapo-
lis, Ind. He has earned well deserved
vacation and, his absence, even tempo
arily, is afIectionately regretted and
his return among his old time friends
will be received with cordiality that is
deserving TO popular good men.
The memorial address of Corporal
Tanner was received by many with
tear-dimmed eyes. The gray and the
blue listened to his eloquent address.
He charmed the gray and the blue and
brought back Renaissance that occur

welcome.
Capt. P. p. Hyatt bowed himself out
as cammandant of the "Guardian

A long-looked-for guest arrived at
the home of G. N. Sewell last night.
1t is bruited about the home that the

with their winning smiles win the af-
fections of the old boys that have stack

the last camping ground.
Any lack of neglect of dnty upon
our part must not be blamed to our
worthy news dealer, Adam Broyles.
The misfortunes that are incident III
publishing a daily newspaper some
times can not be overcome, and we
hope the readers of The Comet at the
Home will overlook the deficiency of
the news in full, but as we
grow older we hope that The Comet
will not be dilatory in publishing the
news complete.

WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE
Republican Inspiration Flows from
Fountain Head Non-Partisan
Spring of Mixed Vintage.
From the Nashville American.

From the Nashville American.
Frazier, Dickinson, Taft, Sanders,
Austin-said to have been the conferees
in the actual conference and the re-
sponsibles before and after the fact in
the now famous White House Con-
ference, from which the word went
forth to the republicans of Tennessee
not to nominate a republican judicial
ticket, but to support the independent
candidates for the two higher courts.
These are said to have been the repub-
lico-democratic conferees who attempt
ed to direct the republican voters of the
state as to their policy in the coming
election.
The story of the "White House Con-
ference, as told by a resident of Nash
vile, man of more than passing inn
portance and staunch republican, is
exceepingly interesting. The Ameri-
can can vouch for the reliability of the
informant, who claims the incidents
he relates were given him in a private
letter from Washington and alleges
that his correspondent knows positive
ly whereof he writes.
The story as given The American
has as principal characters
the conferees and arrangers mentioned
above President Taft Secretary Dick
inson, Senator Frazier Congressman
Brownlow, Congressman Austin and
State Chairman Newell
Sanders.

1t was plain that he had fallen out of

DANGERS OF THE RAIL.
Mail Clerks Face About Two Hundred
Varieties Of Perils.

In now many different ways can
railway postal clerk be injured in the
pursuit of his duties? There are two
hundred possibilities, according to a
report made at the convention of the
Railway Mail Clerks Association in
Chicago. Although the untraveled
person receives this statement with a
gentle forbearance from censure, rail-
way clerks are not astonished by it,
some OF the older men think that they
might be able to add a few more va
rieties of accident if they had time to
sit down and remember the things
that have happened to them and to
other clerks they have known
Wrecks are the most fruitful source
of injuries naturally and they cause
nearly all of the serious hurts Yet,
as man who has climbed the noun
tains of the world may slip from his
chair and break his head, so the rail-
way clerk who has passed through
half dozen smash-up NAV meet
death or serious injury in a strange
and unique fashion.
A clerk on a run out of Chicago was
hurt in manner that probably has
not been duplicated. says THE Daily
News" 1t was his business to take in
the mail sacks from stations at which
the train did not stop.
AT such stations a post is set up
near the track and from the top of it
projects an arm at the end of which
the bag is hung. When the train
PUSHES by at high speed the clerk
reaches out with a hook and pulls the
loaded mail sack off the gallows
shaped standard and into the car
The clerk was sleepy one night. He
was grumbling and sullen, and his
eyes were heavy. He worked me-
chanically. wishing only for the end of
the run. The train was approaching
one of the small stations at which it
was not to stop, and the clerk took
up his post at the side door of the ear.
A few seconds later one of the other
