"Well, I don't know," said I; ht the Browns had al ready got it." "Not around hre." said she : "its Che Jones. They are ten to one of the Hmwiis aud are increasing powerful, and are generally do mighty well, from , Sam d,urn. They are runnin' the bir meetings and, the college, aul the carriage factory and a merchant mill and some stores, and they all move around lively and own more good properly Han anybody.". . . , " Tlie Smiths and Crowns and Jotitsei'have never immortaliz ed their names on history's ia"e, but nevertheless have rrovsd to oe rigngooa comDi iiition etock. Captain John Smith warf the founder of the Jamestown colony and-ought to have married Miss Pocahontas, ioT sdie loved him and saved his life, and if he had, then all the "Smiths on this continent would 1 have claimed that they.descend ed from him and had Indian blood in their veins, and they would have swelled up and held their nones as high in the air-as the Kaudolplis. My wife claims a little streak of that Pocahon tas Randolph blood, and . I reckon she has got it, for I can't make her do anything she don't want to, aud if anybody was about to smash my head' with a club she would 'jump in be tween and save. me. And the Joneses have got some pride of ancestry too, for there was John Paul Jones, the great admiral who grappled the enemy's ship, and they fought and fought un til' his canaon all bursted, and when called on to surrender, replied "no," I have just begun to fight, and he and his men Doaraea me otner vessel, as their own was sinking, and they took it and whipped twice their number and took them all pris oners. He was a fighter, he was, and I expect "our Sam" has got some of his blood in his veins. Then there was Anson I nes, the IdSt president of the x s republic, another fighting ; i i And there w.s- Dr. Noble . n s, a revolutionary (Jeorgia t airiot of 1.77(5 and tha presi dent of the tate -convention of 17SH5. And there have been lots of Joneses-ever ince, who made an honorable reputation. Most of them havi names as common as theirj-ir names and all called Sam and -Joe and Bob and Jack and Bill and Seab and Tom and (Jeorge and such like. It don't run in the Jones stock to have a fancy romantic name. Sam Jones would be another feller if he had a hifalutiu name. me lauernacie meeting is in full blast now; and Sara preach es the morning sermon every day aud talks right smart be sides. When he can't lead he drives. He sits up high on the stage coach and cracks his whip, and the team has got to go. willing or .unwilling. His re sources seem to be as unlimited as ever. A poor blind man ask ed for help and Sam appealed to the congregation one night and told them he was goine to have a pound pany next morn Jirg and they must all brintr up something for the poor folks of this community" sometl.ing that they could eat, drink or wear, or some money to buy it with, and sure enough they brought money and supplies most liberal. It is astonishing how mueh money he can make up iu a little while in a large congregation. I heard a .Home man say yesterday that he had made up his miud that .Sam shouldn't draw but two dollars out of his pocket, but before he . knew it he had put a ten dollar bill in the hat. Old Dr. Wit h erspoon, from New Orleans, preached a sermou about the wants of the three million sail ors who lived upon the .sea and he asked for help- to' build chapels and sailors' homes, and do missionary work for them, and Sam followed it up with an exhortation and said : f'llowit broadens a "man to hear unch talk about these sailor3--the?e uiree million of strong men who live and work 'in continual peril and among them all not an infidel or an atheist. They may be wickea, and when they get on the land aud get their money tney drink and carouse, and net in the claboose; but they all believe in that (Jod who eeuds the storm. It is these fellows who are safe upon the land who ; become infidels, but just let a mtle earthquake come along "nd shake 'em nn J.P ale, and tremble, and would run worse than a scared Qg. if they knew where to run "These sailors ought to be myerted, and then every .one - . i?e?v WOaM be tflft earne as the wide world. Let's do some thing forthem right here- in I Cartersville. Let's get out of these selfish, narrow ways and do something for ether people, and we will feel better and bigger and broader; You fellers here are right clever and kind to yourselves and your folks, but you are bottled ud too tight. You have got enough religion, such as it. L is, but it ain't the right sort. Why, here is Brother Cooper who wants to Dunn a new .Baptist, cnurch in this town ; but you can't do it, my brother. Your people have got the money, but they won't shell it out, and you had just aa well give up the job: They are depending more on water than on churches to save 'em. And here are these Methodists of Cartersville, wha wsnt a par soager aild they canft get it. Brother Adams has got about fiver hundred members in his church, and they don't average more than three dollars a piece all the year round and they are not going to shell out for a par sonage. They are just setting around and thanking! God for giving them such a cheap re ligion. If iyou don't believe salvation is free "just look in the hat after a collection.; And here is a little squad of Presby terians, who have, been racking along until they have mighty nigh racked out. Oh that I could pick out about a hundred of you Cartersville phristians and send you to California, and Kansas and Minnesota -and Canada on a free excursion and let you see something, and learn something and you would come back with bigger heart's and broader principles. You have squatted down right here until you. believe you and your little town are of more consequence to the Almighty tha'n all the rest of the I world. Instead of expanding you are shrinking up and there are some folks around here who set about and criticise and say 'Sam Jones talks too much, and he oughtn't to say this and he had no business to say that,' and I knoty some of these very fellows who have shrunk up so small that if a fly was to light on the'ehd of his nose it could scratch ione of his eyes w'th one foot and tickle the other with another foot all at the same tine. Now, while preaching is going on here in the tabernacle a dog fight breaks out in the aisle, and just about two-thirds of the congre gation seem all at once to wake up from their lethargy, and somft get up on their seats to see which dog whips, ana it does look like you are more in terested in a dog fight than in the salvation of your immortal sou's. But they say that a dog figt in a church is a good sign a sign that the devil has been driven out of the people., and gone into the dogs, and so I still have hope. Now, we must do something for these sailors, and the more you do the better you will feel. Let me see your hat, Brother Witherspoon yes, this is big enough. I think it will hold all that we will get to-night; I'm going to set it right here on the platform and I want everybody who has a heart to feel for others to walk up to the hat and put some thing in it, aud I'm .going to stand right by it and see who puts in. Brother Cooper, lend me two dollars to put in for myself. I'll pay you back to morrow if I don't forget it, and do you put in a dollar for your self as an example. Come right now, an oi you, wmie I'm a talking and put in the hat, and if those sapheads who say Sam talks too much are here and don't put in something just let 'em pick up their old carcasses and rack out. These folks that live just for themselves are like steers that are being fattened for market. They live to- eat and drink, and that's about all they do. The steer eats and drinks and lies down and does nothing for nobody until he gets fat and is sold for beef. But we can't evein sell these rich, self ish bid fat men for beef. If the devil had 'em up for sale at auction they wouldn't bring twenty cents apiece. There are some merchants in this town who won't close their stores for one hour and a half for the morning service,, and they - say they must kefep them open to accomodate their country cus tomers, and they know they are telling a lie when they say it, for their country customers are here at the tabernacle, If they are in town, or they ought to be, and if they are not they can wait an hour until the store is opened again. Some of these five dollars for every star, and he felt happy and run and told his wife and she asked him how he was going to build a scaf fold and that troubled him so he rolled over and fell out of bed and waked tip as poor as ever. Sam Jones can say more hard things and true things about folks than anybody, and can make us all feel mean and mad at the same time and the next day preach a kind, tender, lov ing sermon and make every body fall in love with him again. He ha3 some powerful helpers at this meeting strong men, noble men an eloquent. It is a great Christian feast to listen to such men as Dr. Strick land and Dr. Lockwood and Mr. Johnson and Dr. Sullen. The influence of their pleaching will be felt long after we are dead. If the people of Carters ville had to pay five thousand dollars a year for these annual tabernacle meetings it would be money well spent, for it would be like '.bread cast ' upon the waters by the fathers and will return to the children atter many days. - Bill, Art, EDITORIAL CHAT.

Dur ham Tobacco Plant, There were no ten-thousand-dollars-a-year preachers among the fathers of these men, yet they managed to give their sons the education which has been so valuable to them all. The fathers of Cleveland and Thur man were sturdy workers in the field of their Master, but neither received more than 900 a year. Brice's father was a pioneer preacher in Ohio's Western Reserve, and probably never got more than 300 a year, while Senator Quays lived in the little village of Dillsburg, Pa., and never got more than 500 a year , salary. Morton is the only one of the five who did not" have the bene fit of a eollegiate education.

There are Some Pecple as Big Fools There is an Irish tradition of a pig that was induced to go to Cork by making it believe that its owner wanted it to go to Dublin. Americans who adopt the reasoning processes of the hog are determined supporters of the protective systen because they have been impressed with the idea that Englishmen vant us to adopt a free-trade policy. It is doubtless true that many English manufacturers are short sighted enough to wish that the United States would aban don its protective system. They are thinking of the goods they might send to thia country this month, or this year, if our duties were only lower. But there are plenty of Englishmen wco nave ooservod that we are already able to export some manufactured goods and sell them in England and in foreign markets that England has been in the habit of supplying, and wno know -that it is not our nign wages out our nign raw materials that prevent our exporting a great many more goods, and seriously affecting the English trade with Mexico, South America, China, Japan, and even Europe. They are far-sighted enough to see that England would lose in the United States and in all other parts of the world by a change In the American tariff that wonld promote our manufac turing interests by cheapening raw materials, and so enabling us to reduce selling prices till we could keep more English goods out .of our market by competition than we now keep out by a tariff, and enable us so get into foreign markets that England has claimed as her own Fred.

Durham Recorder. Judge Shepherd is extremely popular here, as he is every where. He is a young man strong and vigorous, and has one of the finest judicial minds in the State. People everywhere, Republicans as well as Demo crats, on account of his great popularity and the perfect confidence they have in the man. and his ability, will vote for him. Maxton Union. Suppose some dirty, degraded publisher of a so called Repub lican paper should make some charge reflecting upon the wife of Mr. Dockery, and that Gov. Fowle and the Democratic press should take it up, and, while slandering that excellent and most worthy lady, try to Bhield themselves behind a statement that "a republican tfaper made the charge ?" There is not a decent white man In North Caro lina, whether a Reuolican (so called) or Democrat, who would not resent any reflection upon Mrs. Dockery, Indeed we will say, in the light of recent events, Mrs Dockeryamostex cellent and refined lady, may more readily rely upon demo crats to defend her against dishonorable slander than upon the party which even her own husband sustains, yet,- for getting hismanhood, forgetting the chivaly of his race, for getting the respect due hid own which all white North Carolini ans would readily tender regardless of party, he, he, the candidate for the highest office within the gift of the white people oi the State and white people will control North Caro- lina as a means to help him secure votes of whom? White men ? No ! negroes charged Mrs. Cleveland, the wife of the President of the United States. with kissing "negro wenches. And when such dishonorable slender is denounced, he, he the chivalrous (?) leader or. a so- called great (?) party sneakingly tries to dodge behind his state ment that he makes no such charge but that a Democratic (so-called) paper does. He does not mention this to denounce it, as any honorable white man would do, and as all Democrats do, but he repeats it hoping it may please the negroes on the one hand and base white men on the other, and then shulks behind the statement that a so called ".Democratic" paper made the charge. This is Dockery, This is the man that honorable white men of North Carolina are asked to vote for, for governor. This is tbe man who thinks that, if he can dticeive enough white men with the one hundred and five thousand negro votes he can be elected governor. Dockery will never be trov ernor of this grand old state. where honorable white men are in a largemajority. Ashe ville' Citizen. On every hand ; wherever one goes, it la the same complaint one hears "hard times" " or "dull times," "money scarce." Why all this complaining and general grumbling ? It is but the truth of the words once ut tered by the lamented Samuel J. Tilden, one of the wisest Democrats that ever lived: "Every business, every indust rial interest, is paralyzed 'under excessive taxation, false sys tems or finance, extravagant cost of production, diminished ability to consume." Now nbta the battle for free raw ma terials used by our general pro ductive industries is the great battle for the disenthralmentof the workingmen of the country. It is a battle for enlarging our products : for enlarging the de mand for labor ; for enlarging wages by ? lcreased demand for workingmen; for reduction in the cost of the necessaries of life and for cheapening our American goods to home con sumers and competing "in for eign markets. Is this not the battle of labor ? If it is, let labor calmly con sider, fully understand and vote honestly for itself. Dur ham Recorder. NEWS OF A WEEK Several' years ao a little poem appeared in one of our dally papers from a local. au thor. I cannot think he was paid for It, nor can I think any other paper ever thought it worth copying for its own col umns. 1 well remember glanc ing it over with a little bit of contempt in my mind, , ana r good deal of Indifference, and feeling sure it was quite with out "literary merit." It was about the "baby boy," a very hackneyed subject, you will all agree. -Well, the other day my pride of judgment received a humlli-1 ating blow. A woman, good' and true, in the humble ranks 1 of life, had seen this poem.j Her own baby boy was only a j few weeks eld, and perhaps she had let creep into her heart the j thought that he was something of a burden, with poverty and hard work pressing. upon her each day.

Sold by Dr. W. S. Anderson. Col. Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier Jour nal. is a good campaigner as well as a brilliant and able editor. He has been canassing in Connecticut. He thinks Tariff Reform is prospering. He says that the trend of public opinion especially among the workingmen, is strongly in that direction, and that Connecticut is absolutely certain for the Democracy. "Wilmington Star. Mr. H. B. Hardy write the State Chronicle from Rocking ham as follows: Dockery, in his speech at Hillshoro, said that the Democrats of Richmond countv had some years ago nominated a negro for the Legislature, and tbat that negro refused to accept the nomi nation. I have tried hard to find some one in this countv to corroborate his statement, bnt no such man can be found. I am assured oi the fact by every. body here that no such thing has ever occurred in this county and that it is f ale!" This is another illustration of reckless disregard of truth exhibited by Dockery. We see frflm the Kinston Free press that Col. John N. Whitford has been endorsed by the Republicans as their candi date for the Senate. The Rads first nominated that old time Radical, Ed Page, but he .declined to run. Col. TVhitford has been honored of the Demo cratic party by a nominatiation and election to the Senate and his desertion to the cause of Radicolise is but another illustration of endeavoring to 'make a silk purse out a sow's ear." He was not big enough for the honor conferred and it made a fool of him.
