on his life, one for 65,000 and an
other for 94,000. A man with as

About One Thousand Estimated to he
Present With Some Four Thousand
Adults An Impressive and Interesting
Discourse by Bev. Mr. Stuart.
The service yesterday morrrfng was
for the children especially, and they
were out in full force. Mr. Jones esti
mated the number at about one thou
sandprobably the largest number ever
gathered together at a religious meeting
in the city since the memorable child
ren's service held by Rev. Mr. Pearson,
in 1887. Added to these were about
four thousand "grown-up" people, mak
ing altogether the largest audience yet
present at a morning service.
Mr. Stuart addressed the children in
Mr. Jones' stead, .and his sermon con
tained food for reflection for both old
and young. He preached "about The
Book," rather than "from The Book,"
he said.
"There are" he said, "perhaps many
of you children who can't read and un
derstand this book (the Bible), but I
will make you a little book out of it
that you can understand.and it will be in
child's form, composed of three leaves,
each represented by a color black, red
and white. The black leaf represents
sin ; the red leaf the blood of Christ,
and the white leaf a clean heart. It you
can understand what these mean, you
can understand what it is to be a Chris
tian. The Bible tells about sin, the
blood of Christ, and how to have a
clean heart. "
"Some people say it is no use to take
children to church; they don't know
what the preacher talks about. Let me
test you a little. Do you know what sin
is? Call out some ot the things you
think it a sin to do. "The children an
swered, 'Tell lies; gamble, steal, kill,' &c.
"But you haven't got down to the
children's sins yet; what are some of
them?" They replied, 'Quarrel, disobey
your parents, fighting.'
"Well, I see you know what sinning
is; have any of you ever done these
things? If so, hold up your hands." A
large number of hands went up.
"Well, that shows you've been sin
ning, and knew what you were doing;
that is having a black heart. I think
one of the greatest mistakes the world
is making to-day is that people don't
know that children can be religious and
love and serve God.
"Now tell me what are some of the
thines vou do when you do right?"
The children answered, "Obey your
parents, go to Sunday School, love one
another; and love God." When you do
these things you are going to get a
clean heart. If I cover the black leaf
with the red one you can't see it, can
you? The blood of Jesus Christ can
cover the black heart and cleanse it
from all sin.
"There was a time when God said all
are sinners and all shall die; but Tesus
Christ said 'let me go die on the cross in
their stead that they may be saved' and
God sard that will satisfy the law; so He
came and died for us, and now every
body who comes to God and says 'for
t Uria caVo fnrcive mv sins' can be
saved.
God knows you, and listens when you
pray. He knows you by your name;
one of the sweetest thoughts to me is
that He knows one as George Stuart.
He knows your step. His eye .sees all
you do. If a little boy says Ive' been a
bad boy to-day,' and he kneels. down and
says, 'Oh, Lord, for Christ's sake forgive
me.' He goes out with a clean heart if he
prays right. I believe God hears and an
swers children when they pray. 1 was
conducting a meeting once and a little
boy was on the mburnerk bench crying
like the boy whose father told him
every time he did a bad thing to drive a
nail in a post, and every time he did a
good deed to draw . one out. One day
he said, 'Father, I've drawn the last
nail.' 'Yes,' replied the father, 'but the
prints are still there.'
"Train up a child in the way he
should go, and when he is old he will
not depart from it.' When I was at
school the drunken brother ot my land
lady said to his sister. 'Eight years
ago I wanted to go to the mourners
bench, and my mother said, 'No, you
are too young yet,' and from that
day I have never had the slightest
desire to eo: and now I am a miserable
lost drunkard and my mother will have
to account for it.' I told this incident
in a sermon in Chattanooga and Mrs.
Darling came to me and said, 'you don't
know how you have plowed through
my heart. When my boy was eight
years old he wanted to join the church
and I would not let him; when he was
eighteen years old I said to him during
a meeting, my son 'I'm praying for you.'
He looked at me so cold, and said,
mother, when I wanted to be a Chris
tian you wouldn't let me; now don't
want to be one.' And one day he fired
a pistol shot through his brain and -ended
his own life. The time children
ought to be saved is the time they want
to be saved. A child's religion is doing
what their parents and teachers want
them to do. I like the boy who says,
Mother, do you want me to do any
thing?' instead of saying, 'Oh, mamma !
make Willie do that; T don't want to.'
Honor your father and mother; they are
the best friends you have on earth.
"How many of you have parents who
hold family worship; read the Bible and
pray every night with the family? All
who do stand up. torty-tour out oi
one thousand! Isn't that enough to
malce the heart of every man and woman
here shudder?
"How many of you will promise when
you go home to ask your parents to
have lamily prayer ?" Quite a number
responded. "If you do there'll be some
of the biggest preaching done this even
ing ever done in this town.
"Respect your parents, don't be
ashamed of them if they are not as well
educated as you. My mother never
read Latin and Greek, but she knows a
great deal more than I do about many
things. I'll tell' you the kind of boy I

could tell him how he could get an edu

The boy told him Dr. Wiley gave a boy
tuition to ring the bell. He might get
that job if he could get something to
eat somehow. He told his mother and
she said, 'If you can get in that way I'll
send you something to eat.'
"He saw Dr. Wiley and got the job

A Younst Woman ' Assaulted in Macon
County Escape of Her Assailant.
Persons arriving by train on the C. F
& Y. V. Raiload yesterdav evening re
port a terrible outrage committed on a
respectable young white girl at Frank-
linsville, Macon county, last Wednesday
nieht. The victim is a Miss Russell,
aged about sixteen years. She had been
suffering ail day with toothache, and
after nightfall, throwing a shawl over
her head, went out of the house into
the backyard, where she was assaulted by
some unknown man who overpowered
and choked her, leaving her insensible
upon the ground, where she was found
sometime afterward by members of her
family. There is no clue to the perpe
trator of the crime, but a posse of citi
zens is scouring the country, and if the
guilty party is caught a lynching will
follow. Miss Russell is reported to be
in a nrecarious condition, with little
hope of recovery.

The eighteenth annual edition of
"Cotton Movement and Fluctuations,
1886 to 1891, issued by Messrs. Latham,
Alexander & Co., New York, has been
received. As this is a standard book of
reference in the cotton trade, it is only
necessary to say that the present edition
is fully equal to previous issues, and
Messrs. Latham, Alexander & Co. inti
mate the crop of 1891-92 at 7.600,000
bales. Thie is very encouraging to the
cotton editor of the Star, whose guess,
forwarded to Messrs. H. P. Hubbard &
Co., was 7,599,000 bales. That thousand
dollar prize is almost in sight.
Augusta Chronicle: What then is
the remedy? Must the farmer continue
from year to year the helpless victim of
this inexorable fate and annually be
forced to run down the market by pour
ing in his cotton at the opening ot the
season? - He must, unless he will profit
by a sermon which has been preached
until it is threadbare, viz: Raise his
provisions at home, be independent and
make his cotton simply his money crop.
The more nearly he approaches to this
standard the less money he will have to
borrow from factors and the less cotton
he will be forced to market to. meet his
obligations.
From the cotton circular of Hub
bard, Price & Co.: So unanimous is the
testimony regarding the yield of the
plant that 7,500,000 bales is now regard-'
ed as a maximum estimate, after due al
lowance is made for the natural tenden
cy to underestimate the crop; but the
conditions which have caused this re
duction in the estimated yield have
opened tne entire crop at once, and the
cotton is being picked and pressed to
market more rapidly than last season,
when the crop reached 8.650,000 bales.
It is difficult to believe from the reports
day. October 14th, to arrange the win- 1 being received that the crop will reach
ter schedules. He says the last man
and winter schedules generally were
thoroughly discussed, but were not
fully decided upon. As soon as the
different schedules are determined upon
they will be furnished the puDlic through
the columns of the Star. - . .
Nearly every railroad in the United
States was represented at this associa
tion meeting, there being over two hun
dred railroad officials present. Besides
Mr. Emerson, the following Atlantic
Coast Line officials were there looking
out for the interest of their system .
Mr. H. Walters. Vice President; Mr.
J. R. Kenly, General Manager; Capt.
J. F. Divine, General Superintendent.
None of these have returned yet except
Mr. Emerson.
the estimate before given, as the reports
of reduction in yield range from 20 to
40 per cent., as compared with last year;
but the "doubting Thomases" are so
many that ocular proof of the truth of
tnese reports may be necessary before a
permanent advance can be established.
In the meantime it is well to remember
the price of cotton is low, and in view of
the certainty of diminished supply not
unreasonable, while our exports are now
behind those of last season.
