REMARKABLE CAREER.

Senator Isham G. Harris has for the
last half century been prominently
identified with the political and
civil history of this state. He is con-
sidered to be the greatest man, politi-
cally speaking! among Tennesseans of
today, and his death will leave vacant
place which no Tennessee politician
can fill as acceptably as the veteran
Harris has. Isham G.. Harris was born,
SO some state, 70 years ago in Franklin
county, Tennessee, butintimate friends
say he was five years older. When q
boy in his teens he went to Ripley,
Miss, where worked as clerk in
country store. Later he went to Paris,
Tenn, where he opened store of his
own and put in his spare:time studying
law. He was brave, keen and perse-
vering, and after his admittance to the
bar was very successful. Around the
Sruff, gray-haired old man cluster the
memories of a day that is gone, day of
political struggles such as will proba-
bly, never again be seen in this country,
and the dark days of the war of the re-
belliOn, in which he, as Governor of
Tennessee, plaid prominent part.
From the outbreak of the war to the
present day Isham g. Harris's life has
been one of peculiar interest, and vol
umes could be written of the
STIRRING INCIDENTS
In which he figured, and in all of which
he acquitted himself we'll. In the year
1857 Mr.. Harris was elected Governor
of Tennessee, defeating John Neither
land, of East Tennessee, by a narrow
margin. Two years later he defeated
Robert Hatton for the same office, and
two years after that he defeated VIM.
Polk, brother of President J. X. Polk,
in another gubernatorial race. Gov.
Harris was strong confederate sympa-
thizer, and he is credited with having
drawn the State of Tennessee from the
Union. Indeed, the Legislature of his
own State in May 1865, gave him this
credit when they passed a resolution
offering a reward of $4,000 for his cap
ture. This resolution had number OF
"whereases" in it, and recited the fact
treason was the highest crime known
to the laws of the land; that no one
should know this better than the Gov
ernor, and that therefore o.. Cover
nor who was guilty of treason should
be dealt with more harshly than an or.
dinary citizen. In the second section
of the resolution it was charged that
Governor Harris had caused the death
of thousands of Tennesseans by causing
the state to cecede. The last section
authorized the governor to offer re
ward of S.. .OO0 for the arrest of the fugi
tive, William G. Brownlow, an intens,

ELDER PENCE A WITNESS.
He Gives Expert Testimony in a
Church Trial

Elder William Pence of North Topeka
who was the Populist candidate for the
legislature in the north district is a
witness at Lebanon, Indiana, where
there is a big church quarrel about
whether the Mount Tabor Baptist
church which is kOnWn as one of the
Means" churches, is to be recognized
as regular Baptist church.
Elder Pence was called as an expert
for the dissenters. A special dispatch
gives the following account of his teSti-
mony:
Elder William Pence of Topeka, kan,
a Means" advocate of national repu-
tation, was called as an expert: He
corroborated the statements of Elder
Ray as to the relative executive
authority of the church and the Dan
vile association, and insisted that there
was absolutely no authority vested in
either the association or the councils
appointed by it to determine questions
of doctrine or discipline; that the coun-
ellis have no ecclesiastical authority
whatever and that any decision they
might come to on any of these ques-
lions was simply advisory; that the
''anti-Means in submitting the diff
Guilty to the Danville association, had
departed from the faith.
He was subjected to a most exhaust
i've CROSSE examination and proved him
self to be fully equipped for the occa-
sion. His attention was called to the
convention held in Jerusalem, Acts Is.
and asked if that was not the usual
method of settling church difficulties
In answer witness said:
THAT was not a council in the same
sense as the one held here. The men
who came down from Jerusalem to
Greece were preaching Judaism when
they got into a controversy in Antioch
The church at Antioch sent chosen
men to Jerusalem to inquire as to
whether the true doctrine was being
expOunded. For illustration. if I were
preaching in this vicinity what I claim
to be the doctrine of my church in

No" replied Pence. There would be
a very material difference. The moth
er church was inspired with the Holy
Ghost, but I can't say as much for the
Kansas people"
