SENATOR HARRIS DEAD.
The End fastened by the Intense
Summer Heat,
VETERAN MEMBER OF CONGRESS-

First Elected to the Lower Branch in
1910, and served TWO Terms. DecIin-
Ing Observation-Disclosures Years
a United Stntcs senator.
Washington. July 9.-senator Isham
G. Harris, Of Tennessee, died at his
residence here a few minutes before
s o'clock Yesterday afternoon. The
senator had been growing constantly
weaker for several days past, the in
tense summer heat which has prevailed
greatly debilitatlng him and no doubt
fastening his end. There were times
when he would rally slightly, which
gave his family hopes that he would
be able to regain strength sufficient to
be removed from the city, but his vital
ity had become too much exhausted
to withstand the strain. Yesterday
morning the senator revived somewhat,
but only temporarily. During the after
noon he sank rapidly, and passed away
peacefully. There were present at his
bedside when death came his son, Mr..
Edward X. Harris, and the latter's
wife: Representative Benton McAul-

A True Remedy.

W. NJ. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, H.,
Chief" says I'VE won't keep house with
out DR.. Kings New Discovery for Consump-
tion, Coughs and Colds. Experimental with
many others, but never got the true remedy
until we used DR.. Kings New Discovery. No
other remedy can take its place in our home,
as in it we have a certain and sure cure for
Coughs Colds, Whooping Cough, ETC." 1t is
idle to experiment with other remedies even
if they are urged on you as just as good as
DR.. Kings New Discovery. They are not as
good, because this remedy has a record of
cures and besides is guaranteed 1t never
fails to satisfy, Trial bottles free at A.

We tell in another article of the
remarkable record made by a Rob-

years course at Wake Forest Col
lege. Another son of Robson
has won honors at the same insti-
ton, although he has not been
there so long. Nearly a hundred
young men, representing sixty-fve
counties in North Carolina, en-
tered the freshman class at Wake
Forest last fail and among the
three who stood the best eXami-
nations was Mr.. F. G. Nye, of
Nye, a former student of Robson
Institute. The three were sc
evenly matched that it was al
most impossible to tell which ex-
celled. And not only did young
Nye and his associates stand al
the head of their class at the pre-.
liminary examination but they
maintained their lead during thu
entire scholastic year and occupied
first position at the final exami
tnation just before commence
