Hardy. AGED -. lies at his home in the
Laurel Ridge mountains, near here,
with beth arms dislocated and his
arms, face and body badly lacerated,
the result of heroic rescue of his
father and an aged neighbor from
death in swollen mountain torrent.
The Hardy family was awakened by
cries for help early, this morning Will
liam Mcdowell, aged IS, was found in
the doorway of his hut, praying for
help, while the hut was floating down
Devils Creek toward a waterfall, 800
feet deep. Charles Hardy, father of
John, raced with the hut until some-
what ahead of it, then plunged into
The creek and reached Mcdowell. He
started to return to shore with the
aged mountaineer, and was thrown a
rope by his son, John who had fasten-
ed 1t about his waist. The two men
held on, but their weight dragged John
along the shore until he grasped the
trunk of a tree and held on, calling
for help.
AS neishbors arrived John tainted,
and was carried TO his home By the
men he had rescued. He recovered
sufficiently to inquire If his father was
safe, and again lapsed into uncon-
seriousness.
A few moments after Hardy, senior.
left the hut with Mcdowell, it crashed
over the waterfall.

1t was not my intention at this time,
gentlemen, to enter into any labored or
general discussion of this mater. The
Senator from Knox is the prophet of
the people. He has for years as he has
told you stood in your presence in this
chamber and endeavored as best he
could to remedy the existing evil. And
undoubtedly he has brought very many
pregnant and forceful illustrations off
why there should be a change In the
conditions in this State pertaining to
the handling of rum.

thing new. but l have some well

why this bill as amended should go in

But as l am only one of this great and

l recognize the fact that every factor,
every voter, and some day every person

prohibition upon that tree, knowing that
