Southern Not Involved.

Knoxville, June 29.-An investiga-
ton Of the court records at Knoxville
shows that a press dispatch sent from
this city saying that bill had been
filed against the Lenoir City Car works
and the Southern Car and Foundry
company was entirely erroneous, in so
far as it related to the Southern Car
and Foundry company, and no suit has
been brought alleging that there is any
claim whatever outstanding against the
Southern Car and Foundry company,
the confusion arising from the fact that
it was incidentally mentioned in a suit
fled to collect an alleged debt against
another company. There are no charges
in the bill of any character whatsoever
against the Southern Car and Foundry
company aud it is not interested at all
in the litigation.

How 10 Carry a Gun.

There are only two directions in
which the muzzle of a gun may safely
be pointed; these are up and down. A
shot fired in the air can scarcely injure
any one or anything, and one dis
charged into the ground is equally as
harmless. Therefore, in all the differ
ent positions which the gun assumes
see that it is either pointed up or down.
Sometimes a man will be seen who car
ries his gun reversed, holding it by the
mu2zle while the fore end rests on the
SHOULDER and the stock projects behind.
Happily this practice is not common,
for it is extremely dangerous, and
many men have been killed by carry
ing their guns in this way. If man
stumbles or steps in hole, or catches
his foot on a root and falls, his gun
may very likely be thrown forward
with the muzzle directly toward his
body, and may easily enough be dis
charged.
Sometimes one may see a boy or
even p man who will carry the gun
across the back of the neck, vita o2e
arm over the stock and the C,Aer over
the barrels. sometimes with the hand
resting on the muzzle. This is certain
to give a very uncomfortable feeling
to any one who happens to be walk
ing by the side of the person carrying
his gun in this fashion and opposite
the muzzle end While the danger of
a discharge is perhaps not great, it is
unpleasant to be walking along with
a gun pointed at your head or neck
