THe Devotee or Society Come la fr Fair Bkars of liu AtteatUa. Chaiotte Observer of 21st. ' ; A large and interested audience filled theauditorum in the Y. M. C. A. building last night, when Eev. Sam P. Jones lectured for the benefit of Bre vard .Street Methodist church. He spoke for an hour and a half," and those who had heard him before said it was the same old Sam. J. D. McCail, Esq., introduced Mr. Jones, referring to him as, perhaps, the most original and interesting platform speakek in America, if not in the world. As a prelude to his address, Mr. Jones spoke of the wonderful growth and vigor of the city of Charlotte, evident on every hand. He said: "Charlotte is spreaaing nerseil. You- are going' uu, uu, x am aoiry 10 say, going down, as deep as broad, with fair prospects of an increase in the ratio of the down ward course." Mr. Jones announced as his subject, "A Medley of Philosophy, Facts : and Fun," And said, in part: "Philosophy, furnishes the best possi ble rule Jby which one can always do the best possible thing at the best pos sible time. I am afraid, a philosopher would feel mighty lonesome in this crowd. How f acts are the most tremen dous things in all the world. They are uinerem irom tneory m every respect. I have been a theory chaser and once I was a young fool, but I have turned my back on theory and am relvinz on facts. We have too many theorists in the ministry. I don't Want a preacher to talk theology and ecclesiasticism to me, but I do want him to tell about the grace of "God and show me his works by his faith. I don't want a doctor to tell me about the theory of his profes sion, but I do want him , to take me out to the cemetery and show me what ie has done. The biggest fool in North Carolina is the man who will stand up and argue against facts,' but "most of you will do itr "Nowadays we pride ourselves on having a higher type of religion than that enjoyed by; our forefathers. We brag about our enhghtement and su perior culture haying relegated to the rear the superstition and sentimental side, of the religion of , our fathers! And the country is overun by .a horde of little gimlt- headed preachers D, irs, ll. irs., Ph. D's., A. B's., A. M s., A. 8. S's., etc. We havo left the old landmarks and run off after a; lot of idm8 and such like. We have the osophists, sanctincationists, spirit ualists and Christian Scientists. Now wouldn't hurt the feelings of a Christ- tian Scientist, for my father always told me never to hit a cripple or to hurt fool, but I want to ask one question. Did God pass by Martin Luther, John Ualvm, the Wesleys, Whitfield and L 1 a T-m a ' m come aown 10 .Boston a lew years ago and tell an old woman something that wouia enable her to put her picture on spoon-and sell it for $3?" , Mr. Jones paid his respects to mod ern society in Ms accustomed vigorous manner, saying he despised society Hecau8e it eats me neart out 01 a T a a . a . woman as whiskey saps the life out of a man."- According to Jiis assertion, there is not a greater curse on earth than the society woman. , "When God gives a man a good wife and 10 or 15 children," said the speaker, "that man is blessed,, but when the devil gives him - a . " " - a society woman ano a pooaie ne isi cheated." .: ; Mr. Jones reiterated some of his fa miliar anathemas against the politi1 ciana, who, according to his theory, are responsible for most of the ill for tune that has befallen the . country., He declared that the two last national political campaigns ' were fought on false theories and asserted that the peace and prosperity of this country depended solely and alone upon ; the honesty, uprightness sobriety and integrity of the people. "In speaking of what he was pleased to term some of the recent political fallacies, Mr. Jones said: "You "free silver folks, , if you don't feel like fools, you don t feel nat I trral. l ieei sorry ior you . jemoprais; JrT .1 wnAA&H I ii nan tn rtA nno Hi-if I'm well now.

What do you gar to that ron rat-bellied HM1 An Elk who didn't drink beer would be the lonesomest little devil oat of hell. Yoa don't have any trouble understand ing me, do you? . ' la paying his respects to the saloon business, Mr. Jones laid: "Charlotte collects about $20,000 a year in licenses from the saloons. That sum, when di vided amone the. neonle of thi amounts to about 66 cents a head. Think of it! Yoa people in Charlotte are selling. yourselves for 66 cents a head, when hogs are worth tlO- each. ixn t you wish yoa were a hog? But then, I suspect the 66 cents is about all you are worth. And you preachers are bought at the same rate. -.- The trou ble with you old deacons', elders and stewards is that you like the stuff your selves. You are drinking it, you old red-nosed devils.' ---..-- x Mr. Jones declared that the social world was worse than the political worm, disobedience of children to their parents, cigarette smoking,, card- playing and dancing were some of the things npon which 'he touched. He declared that the boy who couldn't be stopped from smoking ciearettes need ed killing and that the girl who couldn't be stopped from dancine needed a mammy. He said he liked a horse that could make a mile in 2:30, but he preferred a girl -who coulden't make more than a mile a week. - - In closing Mr. Jones spoke of the country's need of men rather than great industries, saying the nation could never develop without men and women of strength and character. He closed his address with a beautiful peroration on the' love of a mother. the most lasting and beautiful thing on earth. " Tbe New Doctrine of Hell. The Evangelist. , What the utter failure of the human soul to find God will mean is not clearly revealed in Scripture. The teachings of Paul and John,' following Jewish lines, do not postulate anything but punishment until the "second death." bin is death. T. Unrighteousness is its own sure agony. Guilt, is separation rrom uur atner. There is no life or peace save in love, holiness and without which no man can see the Lord; - More we cannot say. More need not be said More is, as a .matter of fact, not now preached from any Protestant pulpit, lberal lor conservative, save the most ignorant, where the material hell still holds sway. '-v The life on the Bowery is Hell. The greed of Wall Street is Hell. The suspicions, and criticisms of Christian brethren one of another are Hell. We have Hell in our hearts, and only God's love can cast out HelL . That Hell should be an eternal disputant of God's sovereign redemption; that the Cross of Christ should not save to the uttermost, seems hardly possible; yet we have no other: message : than to proclaim that unless men take the Father-at His word they must remain in the far country and feed the swine, and that every man goes to his own place. ;; .; Wrote a The Died. Knoxville, Tenn., May 21. The atest estimates as to loss of life in the Fraterville coal mine disaster "at Coal Creek is 226, including contract miners, day laborers and boy helpers. At last reports 141 bodies had been removed from the mine. Not one per son has been recovered alive. The last find reported was that of 13 bodies in an entry. ' Five of the men had written letters before life had be came extinct. One of these . letters gave the time of day it was written as 2:30 o'clock. Monday afternoon, thus indicating that these, and perhaps Other entombed men, lived many hours after the terrible explosion, which occurred Monday morning at 7:30 o'clock. The letters gave a general suggestion of the suffering that was undergone, indicating that the men were gradually being strangled to death by the foul, gaseous air that was filling the mine, One Diteouslv read: "My God for another'breath!" j , Deserted from the Navy Bather than Associate with a Negro.

' ; , It is a fitting time to think about volcanoes, earthquakes and other fnter- nai and infernal things that are going on in the bowels of the earth. We can see upward and outward to the stars and planets for millions and btllirns of miles, but the inside of this littls world is all unknown. We live upon its jrrust and eat and sleep and dance and rtrauce and fight and talk war and politics and trusts with no thought of how near we are to the fires that are burning under us nor when they will break out and consume ns all, as they certainly will some time : according to Scripture. Those infernal fires have been burning for thousands of years, and the mys tery la, why they have not burned to the surface long before this. here does the heat all go, and where are the escapes the chimneys for the smoke and the ashes and lava ? Surely thete few volcanoes can't discharge it all. The word volcano, or vnlcano. as it used to be called, comes from Vnlcan, the god of fire, and the ancients' be lieved that the old fellow had his fchops and furnaces down there, and some times when be blowed the bellows too hard the fire bursted out through a hole in some mountain and the melted rock spouted up and run over the tank! and washed down in the form of lava, which is another Latin word and means to wash. Volcanoes are Vulcan's chim neys, and as for back as we have this tory sacred or profane these chimneys nave nau mcir periodic discharges. Some writers believe that there was one of , these not far from Sodom and Gomorrah, and those cities were des troyed juit like Pompeii and Hercula- neum, or more recently like St. Pierre in xuarumque. A few years ago two of my boys took a sea voyage from New York to Trini dad and stopped at all of those little islands and historic points. They; told us of Martinique, where the Empress Josephine Was born and lived until she was 15 years old and whose beautiful monument they saw. Unhappy lady ! The world is still weeping for . her. They climbed the heights of this same volcano and looked down into its ' cra ter, for it was quiet and peaceful and had not had an eruption for fifty years. The island is small, very small, not quiet as large as Bartow county, but but had a dense and mongrel popula tion of 1 80,000 people chiefly Indians, negroes and Chinese. The whites numbered less than 10,000, of whom only 1,200 were French. Just think of it. Our county is about 25 miles square and is quite thickly settled and has 25,000 people while Martinique has seven times as many and most of them are negroes. These negroes were all slaves until 1848. i The live , chiefly on fruit and anything they can pick up or steal. My boys amused! themselves throwing dime9 into the water that was from 20 to 30 feet deep and JbJ little negro boys would plunge in and dive .to the bottom for the -money and always got it. ' : . Then I ; got to ruminating about Vesuvius and Pompeii and Hercula neum. I used to speak a speech about ancient Greece and Rome and Thebes, and I always said Pompyeye and The bees, for that was right then, and so was Sisero for Cicero, but they have got new ways now "and I don't know where am at. Vesuvius has been cutting up for more than two thousand years. It has had nine bad eruptions, but there are still people living on its slopes and cultivating them. Its enormous crater is 2 miles around and 2,000 feet deep, and the accumulated lava some times -raises its brink 800 feet during an eruption. - t When Spartacus, the gladiator, was besieged by the Romans he with his little army of seventy men took refuge in that crater, for it was quiet then, and killed 3,000 Romansho attacked them on its brink. The great orator, Cicero, had a beautiful villa at its base, but in the year 75 A. D. old ulcan fired up his furnace and belched forth fire and smoke and lava and ashes and buried those two cities sixty-five feet deep and changed the sea shore and the river bo that their sites could not be found and when found by accident they; were Iwo miles inland. For three centuries excavations nave been going on and of late with great energy and the veritable homes of the cultured people have been found filled with ashes and cinders that have preserved them all these centuries. These homes and halls and churches and temples have been cleaned out and .even the paintings on th walls have been re stored and the beatif ul marble sculpture cleaned and renewed lust as it was when the awful calamity occurred. The . celebrated sculptured figures of Laocooa and his sons strangled by a serpent was found there in perfect con- - . m at. i . a-.i dition. in some oi tnese oeauuiui homes of the wealthy the tables were set for a feast and in the temple were found the gold and silver adornments that are usual in such places. In the Temple of Juno there were the corpses oi 80Q people who had fled there for safety, bat Juno was powerless and they all perished just as did the 3,000 at St. IPierrewho fled into the Roman Cathc lie cathedral. The fate of all these cities was very similar, for it was not lava that dis troyed them, nor at bt. rierre, but a shower of cinders and ashes, and these are preservatives of anything that they encase. v ' When we consider all such calamities a greatf ul and thoughtful people will be thankful to our Heavenly Father that we live in a land remarkably free from calamity or affliction. No volcanoes hang their threatening peaks over us or near us, no cyclones visit us by day or by night. Cadaverous famine does not darken our households with its awful distress, but we live in peace and in plenty and the lines have fallen unto us in pleasant places.

The correspondent of the Associated Press has had) an interview with M. Clerc, a member of the. Legislature of Martinique, who recently explored the vicinity of Morit Pelee. He' said: "I started Friday last for Mont Pelee and accompanied by ftt. Telliamee Chancele, chief engineer bf the sugar works, I reached a height of 1,235 metres with out difficulty, ind was able to ascertain that the present crater, is about 300 metres in diameter. On the east it is overlooked by the Mont La Croix, the culminating point-of. the island, , hav ing an altitude of 1,350 metres, which is completely crumbled and mined at its base, as a result of the volcanic action and might Easily collate. ''The ruins of the crater have very much changed jin appearance and the heat where we fetood was intense and the whole aspect of the mountain was terrifying. Stones fell around us, TLnd we picked up Mrge pieces of sulphur, which, however, we were unable to re tain. Tne whole spot was charged with electricity which ;became so' vio lent that we were obliged to retreat. ' 'Our descent from the mount was more difficult j than our ascent.

Boer War Regarded mm Ended. Losdos, May 23. The Associated Press has every reason to believe peace in South Africa is practically secured How soon it will be announced depends apparently more upon the convenience of the Boer leaders than upon the de clination of the Boer government.

The great it J4m with which th Southern iwople have had to deal in the tait has Ut ti as to where we Could hnd an aleiuate market for raw jRottoa and the cotton fabrics of Ihe SoUtli; and I want to say to you to-night that th only hoj for the SoullM-rn h4c in last rviHx t i tu the Orient, and, in asmuch the rhiltpt lnc ilanJ ho in the pttlhwsy to tbe Orient, 1 cannot for the life nf me underidatid htV ttit Southern man who bus the good cu hf. country at heart can for- one moment cobtcmi4ate the idea of relinquishing our jurisdiction over thte islands. Once we rcetore taw and order in those islands, as we certainly will do, in my opinion the trade with th out side world with the islands will treble, aud the Southern eople will be the chief Wuefuiaries there of.

At no distance dato the American planter and cotton manufacturer will control the market for American cotton and through that control .and dicfXte Ihe terras upon which the. world shall tj clothed with this great American pro duct. ... - jr ' The day has passed when section alism can divide our politics, business and commerce. . i ' . , We understand that cotton growing and cotton manufacturing and all other Southern intlustrics have a national aud international importance and that the prosjerity .of the Soutii and the iirospcnty of tlie orth are a-Utally inter-dejxjndcnt and indivisible. Hie United States has learned of late years that it needs, an ever widening and expanding market for it products, and it has found an important foreign outlet among the teeming millions of the Orient.' The Asiatic market has come into the field as;one of th most prominent factors in the modern com mercial problem. And yet just as we were profitably developing this great market in China, a movement, was in stituted which, if successful, would have mnitralized all the good results already obtained and jaralyr,od our trade with China.
