The people of the county are .
to be congratulated that the
Democrats still rule their affairs
It was the Democratic party
who years ago took charge of
the county,found the sum of one
cent in the treasury, brought or
der out of chaos, and established ]
affairs upon a sound, economic]
and satisfactory basis. It will j
be Democrats who will continue !
to administer this rule. Kepub-}
licanism in Johnston County has;
seen its high tide.
Lecture on the Life of Jerry McAuley. j
Kev. J. V. Williams, pastor of |
theCla.vton circuit, lectured at I
the Methodist church Monday
evening, October 29th, under the
auspices of the Epwortb League, <
on the Life and Work of Jerry ]
McAuley.
Kev. Mr. Williams has spent 1
a number of years in New York J
City where he obtained all the ;
facts and the very remarkable
career of Jerry McAuley. This
man became a confirmed crimi
nal at a very early age in life.
He was a drunkard,gambler and
a notorious thief, in fact be com
mitted about every crime in the
llecalogue except murder. He
served three terms in Sing Sing
penitentiary, aggregating quite
anumberofyears. Hiswonderful
conversion and the marvelous
work he did for Christianity,con
stitutes a modern chapter in the
Acts of the Apostles. Thespeak
er's story of the awful depths of
crime and dissipation in the life
of Jerry McAuley was told with
dramatic effect. But he revealed
bis climax in describing a re
ligious service held in Sing Sing
prison conducted by "Awful"
Gardner, a former member of
McAuley's gang of theives, and
how McAuley looked and listen
ed and became convinced that a
strong power had come into
Garo uer's life.
The speaker told how a youug
lady in mission work talked and
prayed with Jerry McAuley
through the prison bars He
wept and prayed in his lonely 1
cell until theie came into his sin
cursed life the power of Christ. He
began at once to work among
his fellow prisoners and had
great success in leading many to i
Christ. In answer to prayer |
there came a pardon to him from i
Gov. Flowers. It is said he left I
the prison reluctantly where he
had been doing such a gieat
work for the prisoners. After he i
left prison he tirstled hisdissipat
ed wife to Christ, who became a
consecrated co-worker with him !
in founding and managing his!
great mission in Water Street.
This mission is known all over
the world, for huudreds and
thousands of the most depraved
classes have beeu fed, clothed
and saved through its intfuence
This lecture was very much en
joyed by a large audience. Our
people will be glad to have Bro.
Williams lecture for us again.

A Sad Death.
Early Saturday morning, Oc- !
tober 20th. 1906, deaths angel
entered the home of Mr. and
Mrs. James T. Hinton claiming
their oldest eon, James Hoyeter,
He had been sick since last No- 1
vember. Through all his sick- .
ness be never murmured or com- \
plained at all and was so patient, '
kind,and thoughtful of all around ;
especially bis invalid mother. He j
has suffered with asthma since <
he was six years of age, but no
one thought of his having lung
trouble until last May. He was
under the treatment of three
prominent physicians, but grad- ,
ually grew weaker until Thurs- .
day night he had a hemorrhage
from which he never recovered. '
dieing Saturday morning at 7
o'clock. All was done for him i
that loving bands, attentive '
physicians and kind friends 1
could do, but Jesus knew best
His funeral was preached Sunday
afternoon by Elder J. \V. Gara- i
ner to a large crowd of relatives i
and friends.
While it is hard to give up one |
so young, only 21 years old, wej
Feel that God has taken one of1
His jewels up to live with Him !
He was so good and gave such ?
sweet evidences of his love fori
God. To know him was to love
him.
He leaves a father, mother, sis
ter, two brothers and a host of
relatives and friends to mourn
their loss. May God bless and
be with them in this sad hour.
Departed cousin thou hast left us.
And our loss we deeply feel,
But 'Tis God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
A Cot sin.
