Joe Harris I for many years an auctioneer in Knox ville, Ten n.', and well known to many of the older residents of East Tennes see, according to correspondence re recived through T. D. Smy the, an English lawyer, has suddenly come into the possession of an estate valued at $2,000,000.;- . . - v In the day when Harris' was con spicous as a street" auctioneer, which was about 1888, . a stranger,' without means,, and apparently ; tramp, called on him for money enough for break fast.' Harris ' was impressed with the sincerity of the stranger, gave him a quarter of , a dollar, and a breakfast. The stranger - was William Robinson, a Scotchman.-: He remained in Knox ville for 'some time, becoming better acquainted, with Harris. Harris mean while was elected to the Tennessee Legislature from ) Knoxville. Before leaving to enter upon his ', duties, Robinson struck him for money enough to pay his expenses on a prospecting tour in the' west. Harris let him have $100 and bought him a' railroad ticket. This was the extent of his material help. .' After that .Harris re ceived letters from ' Robinson from Butte,' Mont.,, and other points in the West.,,;;::.,' x--' -: I- Finally, in 1893,: Hams received a letter from Cape Nome which contained a draft for $500 in his favor. In that letter Robinson told Harris that he had struck it rich in the gold fields of the north and - was profuse HI nil 'S SEEKS NO OFFICE Expects to go Back to His ; Newspaper Work7 Af-'' ter Campaign NOT AFRAID OF WORK was proiuse in ms thanks for past favors. Harris consid ered this draft full payment of any and all debts,' whether cash debts or debts of gratitude. '.. He told Harris he would hear : more from him later. Nothing was heard, however, until letter, received by Colonel Cary Spence, postmaster at Knoxville, inquiring for information ' about . Harris.. Colonel Spence soon located Harris, and the news ot his, good fortune was maae known to him. Lawyer Smythe said in this letter that . he was sailing from England, and gave an address where any communication with reference to Harris would reach him, The old auc tioneer of a quarter of a century and more win get in tocommunication with the "kwycr in the case at the ear- tain to what extent the yield is in his case of "bread cast upon the waters." Harris is both excited and . rejoiced over the news. He talks interestingly about his long-ago acquaintance with the poverty stricken Scotchman. , -.' ' DOVER'S ELECTRIC LIGHTS . FOOLED 'EM . ... Three New Bern young men thought they would go to Kington last Sunday afternoon. Arriving at a populous city,, at they thought, a few miles up the line, they alighted.

To the hundreds of callers at Nat ional Headquarters he is more oriess a point of curiosity, j but he is entirely unconscious of the; interest he creates, as he bends over, his desk preparing copy in behalf of his brother, : "Of -course I am doubly interested in ' the ' success of .- the . Democratic ticket," explained Mr. Wilson. "But the fact that my brother is a candidate for the Presidency 'did hot change my views ' or attitude. ' The only thing that I grow impatient over is that eyey one seems to think that I will have i political job after Wilson and Marshall are elected." ' "This is not my idea at all. l ex. pect to return to my newspaper duties and I will be entirely satisfied if in a small way I help bring about the suc cess of the Democratic ticket. Mr. Wilson is an inveterate smoker and his one bad habit is that he forgets to go to lunch.' One of the office boys in the National Headquarters has been delegated to remind him every five min. utes between twelve and one o'clok that it is time to eat.
