A bellboy was sent at once to the

that she did not like the owner.
The dislike grew and finally reached
Mrs. Morris. The landowner claimed
that during his and his wifes visits

give orders Mrs. Savage made life mis-

Miss Bush Rewards Modest Heroes

scene of gallant rescue of girl from
drowning in the surf, the heroes of the
affair dragging the imperiled bather
ashore after hard struggle, and then
lodging modestly into a tent when
cheered by the crowd on the beach.
The rescued one was Miss Edna
Bush, daughter of Joseph Bush, a re.
tired merchant of Binghamton, N. Y.
With her mother and brother, Harri-
son Bush, Miss Bush was visiting the
island. While in the surf she got be.

swimmer, cried for help. In the water
near her were Edward Walsh of Brook.

Walsh and Carolan, with several
friends, are camping out on the beach
In tent. Walsh, who is an expert
swimmer, swan to the side of Miss
Bush and kept her afloat while he
tried to get into shallow water with
her. The struggles of the frightened
girl hampered the rescuer, but he

having hard time of it when Carolan

girl rushed forward to thank the res

Bush and her daughter, however, went
to them later and expressed their graf

"Oh, it was nothing" returned
Walsh; I'VE only did our duty"

ENGLISH WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF
BleyinS to Be Made Deputy of the Giles
County Ex-Sherif.

Both Flournoy English, of Giles
county, and r. L. Blevins, of Hawkins
county, are to be taken care of by the
administration at the Brushy Noun
tain branch prison. Blevins will hold
the place of warden, which he yester-
day assumed, for only short time.
after which he will be selected as
deputy warden, and the former Giles
county sheriff will succeed him as
warden. The official announcement OF
these appointments is expected when
Governor Patterson returns from Mem.
phis.
While no statement has been author
lied by the administration, there is no
room to doubt that the above arrange
ment viii! be effected. The salary of
the deputy warden at the branch prison
is almost, if not quite equal, to that
paid the warden, and his duties
and responsibilities are equally as
great 1t is known that Blevins has
agreed to accept the minor position.
and there is no question but that the
first place has been rendered to Eng.
lish, and his acceptance is taken as q
matter of fact.
The appointment of Blevius brings
to mind the fact that he has had one OF
the most remarkable political careers
known in this state. Blevins has been
in office under every governor from
Buchanan to Patterson, with the OK.
ception of Governor Cox. During all
these years of changing political cur
rents and of the success and failure of
different factions he has managed to
keep close to the throne.
Another remarkable fact about Bley.
ins is that in the contest for governor
last year he was an ardent supporter of
John I. Cox. After the state conven-
tion had unseated all the Cox delega-
tions that were in contest, Blevins, as
chairman OF the Hawkins county dele
cation, refused to further participate
in the deliberations of the convention,
When his county was called he would
rise and state that Hawkins county
declined to vote.
English, who will probably be the
superior of Blevins, was also conspic-
uous figure in that convention, but he
was just as active a partisan of the
other side. He led the Giles county
delegation in the grand march to the
stage, which precipitated riot and
degenerated the convention into a
! mob. .-Tennessean.
