SAM JOKES SATS ROTTEN. ATLANTA IS -Memphis, Tenn., April 26. I left home on the 16th inst. and joined Brothers Stewart and Tillcian at Beau mont, Texas, in evangelistic meetings. BeaumoDtis on the line of the Southern Pacific railway, between New Orleans and. Houston, a prosperous, live, young Texas city of perhaps 8,000 or 10,000 inhabitants. The Christian people of the city have built a tabernacle, one of the most . comfortable aod . splendid auditoriums we have ever held meetings in.- '')-. We were there eight days, the pastors and churches co-operating, except,, of course, the Episcopal pastor. ' He only came to the meetings once. He was dressed up in uniform with a sword attached. He 'came, into the meeting looking up members of his company to go out . aod drill that night. He "was thinking more about licking the Span. iards than he was about the salvation of sinners. I let bint-pass that one time. I looked at' him and he retired. A church led by tha't sdrt of a pastor may go to Coba, but I doubt it they. go much higher if they follow his lead. All the meetings were largely attended and the results were great. The converts and the; accessions to the churches were large, coming froni5 all classes, mer chants, business men, saloonkeepers, gamblers, down to the little hoys and little girls. To me it was in many re spects a marvelous meeting: We closed there last Sunday- night, Brothers Stew art and Tillman going to Galveston, where they begin a meeting, and I am on a lecture tour, beginnhine at Mem phis aud going through Missouri Illi nois, and will spend next Sabbath and Monday 'fh Toronto, then to Rochester, N . Y., and "Bangor, Pa. Then to Balti more to attend the general conference Since I left Atlanta on the 15th it has been talk of war, reading'of war, and war existing all around, and I am tired of the war already. War is a cruel, blood thing, and I 'am one American citizen who hardly knows what we are going to war about,- Somebody said it was for humanity's1 sake,. But why go to war for humanity s Bake after Spain has starved out nearly all the Cubans and they are dead and gone? Some say it is for the dastardly crime of the de struction of the Maine and 266 sailors of ours. Some say it ' is to protect our honor. I don't' known which is the best reason of the three given. It will do those . starved -out and dead Cubans very little good for us to go down there now for humanity's sake. It has never been proved that the Spanish, govern ment was the cause pf the explosion of the battleship. As far as our honor is concerned, a nation's honor is like a mini's honor. I am sorry for the man or nation when thty have to fight for their honor. I see.over in Lonoke, Ark., yesterday five of the Eagle family killed three of the Boone family. What argument is there in a bullet? What logic is therein three dead men? What s the rhetoric of warfare? There are some widows and orphans left over in Lonoke, I dare say. There is going to be'some courts and in vestigation, and maybe some pulling of hemp before it is oyer, too. But we are gomg to ngnt all the same, and poor old Spam is begfiing for inter vention. She wants two fellers to noia us, making out like one can hold her. Fellers aie going wild all over the coun try, business will be ruined, the country bankrupted and the, mischief to pay on all sides. Why, we can send 1,000,000 men to the front and have 69,000,000 left behind, and half of them out of:a iob. We can spend 'two or three bil lions of dollars ana tnen nave tne xun of paying it, or leaving the debt to oar children. I see several members of the United States congress are going to be generals and colonels. ; .1 wonder if any 01 them are willing to go aa privates; 1 never felt more peaceablyxHspoBed in my life towards all mankind. It may be be cause I have no patriotism: it may be because lama coward;-; it may tw be cause my honor ain't insulted.; it may be because I am a fool; it may be be cause I am a Christian aud have read from the- lips of him who will finally conquer this world.1 'Love your ene- mies. Do good to them mat at spitexui.y use you; and pray for them who pt r- secutevou. But if we really go into the war oe- lievine that we have -just -grouods, and have to fight nothing but Spain and her bankrupt government and cunning aua cruel people,-it won't lie much war. But if we get into it with other nation alities and they want to help lick this country, then I know I have patriotism. I know there is something to ngnt anu something to fight for., ' But the thing reminds me now,: of a herd of 10,000 cattle out on the "primes, in Texas with a dozen bull yearlings fighting and all the 10 000 herd of cattle looking on and 'bellering" and ' saying to each other "this fight will ruin grass and ; bring 1rnitlh and desolation to all this cattlti rinnirv" These yellow journals arid big headlines in all the papers have got ih -nnntrv Ktirred uo. Americans are npsrlvasmuch excited on the -trains, in h(.tel lobbies and on the streets to-day as tbey were once over the prize fight of VitsimmonBandCorbett. This country will get excited over anything that the fh ' rXmns with" I bSeve in McKinley and bis policy, T hnliAva in armed intervention. There 1 iniimals and. aaiiv papers uu ie no telling what I will believe in be- fore the thing is over, but this ig my present statusv I know the politicians and newspaper editors got us into our civil war. I know they never : got us out of it, however- One gang gets up war; the other gang' goes and fights it OUt. ' While I Sit and dictate, inst in front of the Peabody lioteL there is a great crowd standing around bulletin boards waiting and reading of the pro gress of war events., I haven't been over there yet to see what the last news is and I am not eoinc I am too husv. I spent the day yesterday in New Or leans. It was the same way there, but business Beemed to be moving along. Busypeople are attending to their busi ness in New Orleans, Atlanta, New York, Memphis and everywhere. If a feller ia out of a jub, he had as well be reading war news as anything else. I met my old friend, Ham, in Memphis today. Ham is a royal fellow and a lecturer of no mean ability, Georgia has several first class lecturers; General John B. Gordon, John Temple Grave, H. W. J. Ham, Charles Lane, Bill Arp, all are of national reputation and lecturers acceptable to the people and profitable unto themselves. These iecturera are all splendid gentlemen. It Is a joy to meet them personally. They are good company. It is a real pleasure to meet and mingle with them. These gentlemen lecture nearly, all over this country of ours and I hear only words of praise for them whereever they go. I see Dr. Broughton is going for the slums of Atlanta. I believe in Brough ton. I believe he is a strong, brave fel low and ought to be held in everlasting remembrance, if he will clean up .the slums of Atlanta. I stick to it; Atlanta is rotten at the top and at the bottom and Broughton seems to be going for everything in sight and cabling things by their right names. I wish he would expose them hypocrites who rent their property for base purposes, in' every church, , and expose the members of leading families whose lives are a dis grace to the families to which they be long. There are - hundreds of boys in Atlanta going to the devil a mile min ute, through the saloons and shameless houses. I am for Broughton because I believe-Broughton is right against the wrong. Sam P. Jones. Too Great a Sacrifice. "I'll tell you how we can patch that tire. ; ihe spe&lcer was a young man. His companion was a young woman. They were taking a tandem ride in the country. The rear tire of the machine had received a puncture, and a hasty examination of the tool-bag revealed the fact that the repair "kit" had been left behind. For a moment the youth was in de spair, but as he studied the situation his brow cleared. 1 "I'll tell you how we can. patch it I" he repeated. "Well?" "It's a simple operation. See this?" He remoyed a yard of ribbon from the front handle bar. "Yes, I Bee it. You don't, think you can mend a puncture with that, do you?" asked the incredulous girl. "'Well, I should' remark: You're chewing a piece of gum, aren't you?" "Yes." - "Well," : and he brushed the dust from the punctured spot, "you put that chunk of gum right here, oyer that tiny hole, I wind this ribbon tightly around the whole busmes as many times as it will go, tie it on top of the rim, inflate the tire, we get on again, and finish, our ride, just as if nothing had happened. See?" There was an ominous silence. It was broken at laetby the young wo man. This is the only piece of gum I've got," she said, in a contrained voice. "We'll walk home. This they did and not another word was spoken. - Distance, six -miles. The hapless young man had asked altogether too much. ' A Diaappolnted Patriot. Ths cross-roads inhabitant didn know that war was going on. For the first time in five years, accompanied by bis wife, he had driven to town in the ox cart, and was "dom' some tradin in the village store when a regiment o; soldiers filed past. "Hello!" he shouted, "what's up?" "We're fightin' Spiin now," explain ed the storekeeper. "Fightin' Spain?" , "That's what!' : He rushed to the door and, craning his neck far out, cried, excitedly: "Durned ef they ain't goin' ter fight somebody! YandersMart Wilkins.an Joe Scruees, and' L.wd bless me! ef thar ain't 'War Williatna, that I fit in Virginny! Gimme my gun!" He reached for M4 rifle in the ox trave an old-time rebel yell, and in cart, two minutes' time he had caught up with the rear ranks and was marching along 1 ' The captain objected and tried toj push him aside, but it was useless. The whole squad was then baited and charged bayonets on him until, he was forced back into the store. r' T " "Durn this here new order o' things!" he growled, as he 'joined hiia wife.

Keelev, of St. Joseph, Mo., was awaked Saturday night by two bjrgliirs in his room. They cover ed him with pistols and bade him be quiet, while they rifled the premises. One of them found a watch. Don't take that." the judge said. "It has little value, and ia a keepsake." "The mo tion is overruled. ".replied the burglar. "I appeal," rejoined the judge. The two, burglars consulted and the spokes man then replied. "The appeal is al lowed.

Aa aged lady whose father's large larmhouse was one of Mr. Dow's favorite stopping-places in Khoae Island, related some years ago the following story of him from her earliest recollection: V 3::t" One winter afternoon my father over took the eccentric preacher on his way to fulfil an engagement, and took bim into his agon. 'I am glad to ride," said Dow, "for there is a thaw coming, and, one of. my boots has sprung, a-leak." As they went on my father suggested a way to repair the damage. "A cob bler lives in that httle red house yon der," he said. "He is poor, lame, crabbed and cross, but a good work man."..' '''; : '. . U- "Just the place for me," said Dow, jumping off and , going into the little shop. He sat down silently in front of few brands smoldering upon ; tne hearth, and pulling off his boot handed it to the cobbler. The man looked at the lea and swore. "1 am afraid you are not & Christian. my friend," said Dow, quietly. j There are no 'Christians," retorted the- cobbler. "There are plenty who pretend to be;" and he waxed his thread with an angry jerk that seemed to em phasize what he said. "lour, room is so cold that your wax is bard, t bball 1 put more wood on your fire?' said the preacher. .' j I work to keep warm, was the shoemaker's curt reply, as he pushed! a last into the boot and adjusted his clamp. " "I've little enough wood cut, and no one to cut more, and this lame leg. won't allow me to do fof myself." : Dow removed his long caped cloak, put his bootless foot icto an old shoe lying near, and going to the shed found an axe and went toj work. Be fore the boot was ready be had split and carried in all wood' in the shed, piled it neatly m a corner, and made a blazing fire of the chips. '...; .1 : , ; - . When the boot was done he put it on, paid for the work, and taking his cloak, "Thank you, my friend; yoqhave proved yourself a workman that need eth not to be ashamed,' " The reply came this time with real civility: "I'm much obleeged to you. shouldn t wonder 11 there was some Christians in the world and you . one of 'em."-. - j "I try to be one; good-by;'' and Dow was off, leaving the astonished cobbler saying to himself, "Wal, ef he's tryin' he don't take it all out in talk, lie never preached at me so much .as a word." . ,- :- - - That evening Dow, who often picked up his text on bis way to meeting; spoke from the words that had come to him in the shop (2 Tim. 2: 15): "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be asham ed.'.' He had a large audience and he preached practical religion to them, en forcing in his original way the truth that everywhere there were poor ana un fortunate people for Christians to look after and this work must be done "if we expect the world to believe in our Christ ianity." .. 4 Dow spent that night witn us, ana the next mor nine one of-my father's teams left a load of wood at the lame cobbler's door. Passing the ehop on hia wav to bis next appointment, Dow looked in and said: ? ' 'Good morning, my friend. ; ; 1 would saw this wood for vou. but there are duties awaitine me further oni 1 think there must be Christians enough in this community to look after a useful citizen like vou. ": - --' '.' '- " "'-"" Before the cobbler had recovered from his astonishment at being called a "use ful citizen" two or three' schoolboys came to have little jobs of cobbling done, while they waited they acted on th hint triven bv Dow in his sermon and worked at the wood-pile. ''. From that time Little kindnesses done to the cobbler became so common that he auite lost his crabbed temper. HiB neighbors gave ham no use for it. .- "Everybody seems to be helping me. ho said. "If I'm 'a useful citizen'" ought to be ashamed not to help 'some- body uivself,; The next time Dow came to our neighbor he was told: "Tho cobbler has given up bis cider and nine, he sines hymns instead of foolish songs, and reads the Bible to blind neighbor." - Dow replied, " 'A liltleleaven leaven-i eth the whole lump' aud a little good example goes a great Way." Whatever Lorenzo Dow's fineulari ities were,' be understood thereligion ot the New Testament. He knew that a Christian is at his best omy when ne makes himself an object-lesson of bis doctrine. .' . . i The Best Remedy . for HhumMm. From the Falrhaven (N. T.l Register.

It is known that Burnside moved his army across the Rappahannock, flowing in front of his camp, and attacked Lee a mile or more beyond it. If defeated Burnside must recross the river before a victorious army. He was beaten. His troops crowded back into Fredericks burg. Jackson favored attacking them that night. The fear . was mistaking friends for enemies in the dark. Dr. McGuire, chief surgeon, told me Jack son asked how much white bandages he had.- He replied enough for any wound ed, naming the amount. Jackson said it was too little for his purpose, which was to tie a yard to each Confederate's left arm and then attack the enemy.: If there had been a superabundant tup ply, (he enemy would have been forced into the river. . .. - That night Dr. Singleton,: of Washing ton, who had heard no particulars of the battle, walked over to the While House. He was possibly the family doctor or a familiar. He found Mr. Lincoln alone in a room, wild in look, swinging his arms furiously and leaping in the air. The surgeon saw at once that the President-was out of , his wits. He asked what was the matter. Lincoln replied with a look of terror, "Burnside has crossed the river, been defeated and Lee will force him to surrender or drive' him and the army down in the Rappa hannock. Then all will be lost. Wash ington will fall. ,. We will be fugitives." Singleton got the maniac to bed and ad ministered soothing portions. This ac count I received some years ago from a distinguished surgeon who got it direct from bmgleton. . bix months ago I read an article detailing an account of a visit of Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania. that night to Mr, Lincoln. . Curtin said as soon as he reached Washington about 12 o'clock from Fredericksburg he went at once to the White House and found that Mr. Lincoln was iii bed. He was invited to the chamber. Lincoln asked about the battle. Curtin broke out in brusque condemnation : "It wasn't a battle." Curtin said Lincoln uttered a shriek, rose fiora the bed, wrung , his hands, lamented bis fate in groans and words of wild , grief regrettinsr that he had lived to that day. Curtin took in the situation and began to give hope ful views and finally persuaded Lincoln to return to bed. Men usually pay full price for all the glory they get in this world. Could any position offset the anguish entailed upon that mortal by the news . of Southern victories? Doesn't McKin ley wish he was a private citizen? : News From Mule Creek. The enterprising correspondent of Mule Creek sends his county paper, the Slabtown Maul, the following items: " Uarve Duncan had on a clean Bhirt last Tuesday. The reason was that he got his old one accidently burnt off while firing a brush heap which he had worn for two months without washing. Bill Hope had his hair cut last Fri day, He let the iob out bv contract to the lowest bidder, and. aa Zeka Wilson bid to do the work for two chews of to bacco, he got the contract. Un last Sunday -Preacher Jackson rode his little blue mule to church and hitched him to the fence. When he was about half through his sermon he slipped the halter and galloped over into Mr. Henry Biddle's pasture." That is, it was the mule that done the gal loping. Preacher Jackson didn't gal lop nowhere. He walked "home with Brother Mooney. ' s Uncle Billy Wood is thinking about entering the race for the legislature. Uncle Billy is bis highly qualified for the office. - He weighs . three hundred pounds aod there would be no doubt about him holding down a seat in the legislature if he ever gets into it. Then- he has a long beard and two warts on his nose, to say nothing of the fact that he has hunted 'possums in Mule Creek district for thirty years. We have not got a better posted man ou 'possums than Uncle Billy. Spud Hayes swapped off his overcoat for a fiddle last week and now he has to go to town wrapped up in a bed quilt. Spalu's Loss at Manila. I", .,., .... Spain s loss in ships alone, growing out of the recent conflict in Manila har bor, aggregates $4,700000., Estimated at their market value, which is much less than Spain psid for them, the figures in round number are: Don Juan de Austria, $1,000,000; Iela de Luzon, $200,000; Reina Christina, $1,000,000; Velasco, $600,000; Castilla, $500,000: Don Antonio de D m. $1. 000,000; Iala de Cuba, $200,000; Iafo de Mindanao, $100,000 and others, 1)- 000,000. .

" The mulberry tree, in which the silk worm flourishes so well, grows to perfection there. Although production of sugar from the cane is not so profitable in the past, and many ddubt whether it will be able to compete with the low, prices of beet root sugar, tiere-will always be certain productions of the sugar cane that can never be substituted. 1, ' Almost every thirg that the planter needs in the way of food can be raised on this plantation. Coffee, another product that has not been grown, much for some yea rs, will doubtless be made profitable un ier civilization. The quan tity of cocoa that can be grown on an acre of ground is something wonderful. The lowlands are practically adapted to the production of rice.

"Chillun, said the old deacon, who was the center of an interested group, "Chillun; I hvants tert tell you a 1T1 story, en hjit-'s dis : Dar wuz once, a Georgy Mul dat wuz slick en well fed, but He didri tlike ter plow, en noucin de crows flyin' out de Woods en goin' an comin e 1 dey please, He decide' dat He'd take ter de Woods, too. So, w'en His Llastor wan't lobkin', He runned offt n wuz soon lost tqr sight. Now, de Woods had des pass' thoo a col' Winter, , en dar wuzn't mucli ter eat in 'em yit. He forage, eh He forage, but little could He fin'; en by and by Hd git so po' dat de flies wouldn't light on Him ; en" 'bout dat time a Hunter come 'long; en say ter Him: 'Ef You lemme ride You ter de railroad, Ffl buy You a ticket en sen' You home. De Mule gree ter dat, but He wui so weak frum Starwation dat when d 5 Hunter mount Him lie fall dovn4-ker-blaam ! En dar -He laid.

En w'en de Mule hearn dat He cive ni de Ghost." "What'si de moral in dat story, dea con?" askftd"a man in the crowd.

New Orleans, May 11 Silvester Car. ter, an importer of Chicago, was in Ma tanzas a few days before the beginning of hostilities with Spain. He was there at the time the cargo of provisions from Kansas City was landed for the starving people.' Speaking to a Picayune repre sentative yesterday, he said: "I doubt if pen can exaggerate the appalling state of the people in and around that town, and not only there,1 but where eyer I went in the provinces really in the control of the Spaniards. It was enough to break one'B heart to contemplate the multitude of the starving, and it looked like an endless and hopeless task to at tempt even to supply these starving mouths. It iB a great mistake to imag ine that: these sufferers are all negroes or a low' class of whites. I saw numbers of people who were evidently well bred and cultured, reduced to that stage of privation that they looked like spectres. ttave you ever seen a populace of starv ing people? It is an awful sight; it al most curd lea the blood. You hardly re cognize the. people as fellow human be ings. "A part of that something which makes up a human being seems lack ing. 1 bey suggest more animals, too and it would be an ugly set of people did they possess any physical force. I saw a mother snatch a loaf of bread from her child and devour it much as I have seen lions at feeding time in a menagerie pull meat thaough the bars and gorge it. And the child glared at the mother as if she were contemolatinir what she would do if she were able. hink of the condition to which a mother must be reduced to take a mor sel from her famished child. There is nothing but the brute left." I Great Scheme, But Wonld'nt Work. ' Atlanta Constitution. 1 A venerable colored citizen approached his employer recently as follows: '.'Dey ain't got done 'listin' folks yit. isdey?" , "Not yet. Do you want to join 'em?" "No, suh, not exactly. You hit's dis way: I got seven sons, all growed, in my fambly." "Yes." .-1 '"Yes,- suh; en I 'lowed dat ez dey is all no'coant, en no use ter nobody, I'd dea put 'em in de army." ' "Yes." . "Give 'em terde guvment at reduced rates, en pocket de pay fer de seven of em. "Why you couldn't do that!" ' f'l couldn't, suh?" "'" V "No! the government wouldn't pay you anything!" , The old man looked thoughtful, and muttered as he moved away: 'Darn dis heah red-tape guvment, anyhow!" . . A Red-Letter Day, "I'm mighty glad to see this," said Mr. Shutin to his wife, once known as Mies Gadabout. ."What's that?" she asked. ' "This card you are sending out. Mrs: Shutin at home, Saturday, November theSteenth," he returned. "I'll put one in my pocket as a reminder that you have been at homeonee this year.'" . . Death's Betrothal. A few years ajro a New York newspaper conducted an open discussion upon the topic: "Is Marriage a Failure?" The answer js easy and upon 4he surface. Where there is mutual love and respect, if there ia also health, marriage is a success. When health is left out, even the most ardent love does not count, and marriage is invariably a failure.- . ' ' . Modern science 'has cried the warning: so often that all -should realize the dangers of wedlock to people in ill-health. In a case of this kind death lurks on every side in. the kiss of betrothal and the caress of tbe honeymoon.- The man who is suffering from ill-health is a physical bankrupt, and has no risrht to condemn a woman to be his nurse fot life and the mother of babes that inherit his physical weakness. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery acts directly on the dieestive oreranism. It makes it strong; and its action perfect. When a man's in gestion is all right his blood will be pure; When his Dlood is pure nis nervous system Will be strong and his health vigorous. - A woman who suffers from weakness and disease of the delicate organism of her sex and to be an unhappy, helpless invalid and a disappointment as awite. Her children will be weak, puny and peevish! A happy home is. an' impossibility for her until her health is , restored. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription "cures all troubles of the dis tinctly feminine organism. It cures them speedily, cotapletely and permanently. It fits fdr wifehood and motherhood. Both medicines are sold by all good dealers. t - SALE OF LAND. ' By, virtue of authority vested In me by de cree of the Superior court of Cabarrus coun ty filed in the case of K. f '.
