From military standpoint the rise

WATTERsoN AND WILSON.
NASHVILLE Banner).

After some days waiting Mr.. Wat
terson has spoken in regard to the
rumor connecting the name of Thorn
as F. Ryan with the break between
Col. George Harvey. editor of Har-
per's Weekly, and Gov. Woodrow Viii
son.
Mr.. Watterson was besieged by re
porters at the time the report gained
circulation, and declined to make any
statement. He now assumes that the
credence given the report by Senator
Benjamin R. Tillman gave it suff-
Gent authenticity to warrant his at
tention, and he declares the state
ment that, "Col. Harvey had tried to
bring Mr.. Thomas F. RYAN into the
Governors campaign" is "a lie out of
the whole cloth"
The story that has been printed in
al the papers in the country was noJ
exactly in the form that Mr.. Waiter
son puts it. 1t was not that Col
Harvey had tried to bring Thomas F
Ryan into Wilson's campaign" but
that the matter was preached at the
meeting between Harvey, Wilson and
Watterson; that Gov. Wilson indig-
nantly declined to consider it, and
that the talk about asking Mr.. Ryans
aid led Col. Harvey to put the direct
question to Gov Wilson concerning
the light in which he regarded the
support of Harper's Weekly.
The story in that form has a shade
of difference from the version to
which Mr.. Wattfrson gives such en-
phatic denial. Mr.. Watterson's furth-
or statement is a confession that he,
himself had at some time suggested
an effort to secure campaign contribu.

Gov. Wilson's behalf. He doesn't say

THE ECONOMY OF
ELECTRIC LIGHTING.

The economy of electric lighting is
very near to the hearts and pocket
books of all users of electricity for
lighting purposes. 1t is broad state
ment, and one that will surely cause
some surprise, when the electrician
tells us that electricity is the most
economical light for the home, if used
right. IF used right" that is the
secret and yet how few of us under
stand enough about the mysterious
current to use it at it's best advant-
age.
1t is not. vaulting over the borders
Of truth to say that in nearly every
home now using electric light the
regular monthly bills could be cut
down fully twenty per cent with a
little care and attention and a little
more knowledge about electricity and
electric lights.
In nearly every house there are
places where eight candle-power or
even four or two candle-power lamps
could be substituted for the sixteen
candle-power lamps, thereby effecting
a great saving. These small candle
