What Rich Americans are Doing.

There is a class Of persons in the
world, and especially our own country
that never gives rich Americans credit
for anything that is righteous. The
rich men of the United States are not
all good men, are not all sympathetic
and generous. But many of them are

Goy' Harris was especially anxious
to get the returns from his old district.
The candidates were Emerson Ether.

race was very close, six or seven votes

and had changed his political faith 10
that of his former enemies.
AS the dispatches came in and the
result was apparently very close, the
gentlemen would make different re.
marks.
About twelve o'clock that night the
Governor thought that Atkins had
won.
"If | though, that Atkins had wpn,
would set fire TO this old town and
burn it up" said the Governor
Lean Jimmie Jones said: II never
drink, but if l thought Atkins was
elected would get gloriously drunk. y
The Doctor had all this time been
sitting by quietly listening to all that
was being said. 1t was noticeable and
some one asked him what he would do
in the event of Atkin 8 election.

Green's town was burning up, and
Jones was enjoying his drunk, like a
sober, sensible man, would rejoice in

Harris Anecdotes,

Senator Harris had two brothers, W no
occupied distinguished positions in
their avocstions,
One Of these, William Harris, was a
lawyer Of prominence, occupying for
long period q place on. the Supreme
bench of this State. 49,
Another, Rev George. w. D. Harris,
was Methodist minister in the poineer
days of Tennessee. Senator Harris has
ou several 0ttasiohsSiieely and frankly
said that this brother was the ablest of
the three. DR.. Harris was contem-
porary of Drs. j. B. McFerrin and A.
L. P. Green.
DR.. Harris was the father of the
Memphis Conference and was the
leader of the Tennessee Conference
while member of that body. His i'm.
press was felt all over the State, par
ticularly, however, in West Tenn essee.
Senator Harris loved and trusted this
brother, in whom he confided more
than any man of his acquaintance.
While Mr.. Harris was Governor of
the State question arose concerning
some tenet of his party. 1t was meas
ure that needed his signature to become
a law. He was perplexed. Hasty &C.
tion on his part threatened ruin to
himself and serious detriment to the
welfare of his party. His brother Will
liam was then on the Supreme bench.
and one would think that the Gov
ernor would have consulted his lawyer
brother, but he did not. The Governor
signed the measure, and all went well.
A few months after this the three
brothers met at the Judges house near
Memphis, and this bill came up during
the course of the conversation.
Gov. Harris related the history of
the bill and told whom he consulted.
Said he: II knew that brother William
knew more law than I did and that
Brother Georges knowledge of the
law was meager. / knew that I was
better informed in political history
than either of you, but l also knew
that brother George was great on facts
80 I wrote out history of the bill
giving him all the facts, political and
legal, bearing upon it, and asked fol
his decision as 70 what should do"
The Doctor decided the question, and
the Governor abided by his decision.
Senator Harris was once making the
rounds of the departments in ashing
ton, accompanied by his nephew, DR.,
W. T. Harris, when he met gentle
man from W,st Tennessee watkins
hurriedly along
"Hello. -" said the Senator
where are yougoiDgY"
