Great interest is manifested by papers
outside of our State about our Senator
We have so many able men who are
worthy that our Legislature can't make
a bad selection. Ex.Gov Isham G. Har-
ris is citizen of Tennessee, and his se-
lection would be highly gratifying to a
large number of his friends. 1t is true
his election would not be gratifying to
the "loyar' bondholders, whose patriot
ism prompted them to. buy up the bonds
for less than fifty cents on the dollar, but
he will stand up for the rights of the
people against taxation. Gov. Harris

for using his name in connection with
the senatorial race, but the people will

How TO SAVE A DRowNING PERsoN.-lt
Is of fr. auent occurrence among those who
attempt to save others from Drowning. TO
fall victims to the enguling waters them
selves. This is owing TO the fact that they
do no. pursue the proper course in their ef-
forts to save those in drowning condition.
It is not generally known that when per
son is thus situated. if he is taken BY tho
arms from behind. between the elbows and
the shoulders, he canno. touch the person
attempting TO rescue him, and whatever
struggle he may make will only assist the
person holding him in keeping bis head
above water for an hour. II sszed any
where else. the probability is that he will
clutch the swimmer. aud, a. 10 often the case,
both will be drowned.
