Nov. 14 Id a drench- ,mg raitL through muddy streets two thousand people crowded into 'the pro hibition tent here, yesterday afternoon to near bam Jones preach to men only, and while they laughed and cried alternately at the; speaker's wit and pathos, the rein beat through the leak ing tent and a Hood tide poured under the tent flaps and covered' the sawdust floor with an inch of water. ' "Hit's er rainingnow," said Mr. Jones, as the steady stream of men poured into the tent, "and you might just as well enjoy it while you can, for hit er going to ba powerful dry in Ma con, in two weeks." . This introductory remark caught' the crowd and the audience answered the preacher with a mighty outburst of applause. - The sermon was even more , unique than Sam Jones usually preachep on his "men only" occasions. It was unusual in many respects, and sandwiched among the jokes and stories was a vast deal of good, solid advice. On the platform were many of the mest prominent people of Macon, v "Now, bud," said Mr. Jones. .'Must enjoy the drenching as best you can, for, old fellowv you can't eniov drinkine- much longer. I ain't got nothing to do with the rain: I ain't a running of the weather.but I'm a running of t the mouth-end of this here prohibition cam paign, do you hear me? Bless God for the ran.; "The tent leaks like the bandamt it's a dry.cfowd, ain't it? "xou fellows out there last do theJ noldmg and I'll do the ekinnmg and I promise you I'll make hide go down on the market." Mr. JoneMoid the au.Iience he had not begun, his sermon, but was just warming up the crowd. Mr. Tillman and the choir then sang a song.; "Whiskey Shops Must Go." Somebody 'in the audience said "Let her go, Gallagher," and everybody laughed. "Now, fellows we are going to take up a collection for the campaign fund. I want you to go down into your pockets and give twenty-five and fifty cents each. Say, I think there must have been a stranger in town last night, cause, somebody put a dollar in-the basket." The money contributed will be used in paying the expenses of the prohibi tion campaign. "Here are: some good, dry seats over here," said Mr. Jones to several gentle men who were standing where the wa ter was falling, "You fellows what are going to vote for whiskey can stay out there in the rain. "I want the prayers and sympathy of everybody in this tent. I am frail as the frailest man in the hearing of my voice as frail and weak as any mortal man alive. My heart beats for humanity and during the fifty -one years o my Ufa I have alway made it a rule to fight for the bottom dog. "If you want to find Sam Jones; al way go and scratch under the bottom dog and if Sam Jones ain't there you can just say he has gone to dinner and will be back in a fewfninutes. I'm for the under dog and always will hear me, bud? , "i never call names, but I call you by your numbers andwhen I touch a fellow's number you will hear his bell ring. "1 ain't got nothing against anybody in Macon. Now, listen, bud. Not a thing. I love eyery one of you poor boys and I've got the best feelings in the world for you. , "I feel like the boy felt when his sweetheart told him she would have him, and hesaid he didn't have nuthin' agin nobody. That's the way I feel today "One time I was sick and I went to the doctor. I told him I was sick and he told me I was biUious. He gave me fwo orrareS piUs to take and tfce next morning I went to him and told him' the pills Uked to have killed me. "It wasn't the pills, the doctor said it w$8 your condition 'Nowj here, bud, you needn't get mad at anything I say. It won't be the medicine it'll be the condition of your system. , "Now, here, if you can't Btand the naked, God's truth rubbed in and still love the rubber, then you might just as well get out" before I begin, for I'll make it hot before I get done with you. "Don't you come snubbing around after its all over and tell Sam Jones your feeUngs are hurt. Why did you bring your feelings to meeting, you fool you. Why didn't you leave your feelings at home for your wife to nurse while you went out to get courage? . "I've got three questions I want to ask you. Y,First, 'Do you know what you're talking about? ''Fra posted pn this prohibition ques tion, do you hear me? and I don't mean to say anything I don't mean. During my twenty-six years I ain't never tuck nothing back. I just won't tuck it back nohow. A fellow told- me once that ' if I didn't tuck something back I had said, that he would mash me into the earth. I told him to just go ahead and masbra8 I had never been mashed be fore and wanted to see how it felt. "You can hear lots of people talk, about making anybody leave town, but when a committee is wanted to make the man leave town, you won't serve on the committee, now will you? No. I know you ain't er. going to make no man leave when he is a telUng the truth. "1 m powerful, careful what I say. If I tell a lie on vou it hurts Sam Jones. pi j but when I tell the truth it hurts you, ! and ybu are the fellow I am after hurt le ! ingklo you hear that? ; ; , . j "The second question is, 'Do you p J mean kindly to me what you say?' 't'fifl "The third question is, 'Do you live as you pray?' "I live just what I preach. There 'aint never a lie been told, on me that I didn't jump up and crick ' my ' heels together and say, 'Thank God, "I am honest, that's whatI am, bud, and my wife aint no cleaner than I am. I aint perfect, though, and can't be when I talk to the crowds thaI have to. Could I? . j Mr. Jones then announced "Escape for thy Life.' . "iv e ail love life," he said, "and all of us fear death. All that a man has, that will he give for his life. "mere are things that will destroy the body and things that will preserve ine ooay. mere are poisonous sub stances that will kill the body and there are certain things that will deve lop the body. There are many death producers and when we are told u -escape ror our life, we just must escape. "There ain't but one thing th'at wiU destroy man's moral life and that is sin. I don't need no Bible to tell me that sin is ruining the moral life of families and cities. "When I see a red-nosed drunkard reeling back and forth and wasting his Ufe away and dragging others along with him, I say 'Poor fellow; sin has got in its work, with him. When I see the, frail figure of a prostitute, with shame written .on her countenance, then I say, 'Miserable creature, sin has get in hia work with you.' Wrecked by sin, damned by . sin it's the one thing that will wreck moral Ufe." Mr. Jones then told the story of his4 visit to the home of a lady in Carters ville. He received an urgent note from her early one morning asking him to go to her house as soon as he could. - . I hurried to the home and a sad- faced wife and six pitiful children grouped around me. The wife couldn't speak, she was so full of tears, but she led me into the house, and there lay her husband, bleared-eyed andjbloated dead drunk. "JUisten here, brother, sin wasn't only dragging that man to hell, but it was carrying with it a swept wife ana" children to poverty and pauperism. , "Yet there are some of you miserable people who say, 'If I want to drink, it ain't any of Sam Jones' business.' You lying scoundrel, yon. ' "Ain't it your mother's business and your wife's business and your children's business and your sweetheart's busi ness? Jiint it, you flop-eared dog. Tell me.it'8 nobody's business. Hear me now. "Sayhere, you 'isten now. There was a man in St. Louis who was asked to ive $100 with which to aid the prohibi tion ngnt. tie said he didn't drink, and his wife didn't drink, and his only child, a daughter didn't drink, and he refused to make tne contribution, saying it wasn't his business if anybody else got drunk. . , "The next morning this same man walked down to the depot to meet the B. and Q. train. The train was due at 8 o'clock but it did not come at that time. The man waited five minutes, then ten and thirty minutes, when he asked the train dispatcher why the train was late. 'There has been an awful wreck,' said the dispatcher. ,.: "'My God! my wife and daughter are on that train!' screamed the thor oughly frantic man. "He went to the scene of ' the wreck on a fast train. The first person he saw was the body of the drunken en gineer, covered with blood. He found the bodies of his wife and daughter fearfully and horribly mangled. The next day he gave $1,000 to the prohibi tion cause, but his delay had cost him his family . and fortune and happiness. "Here, you little narrow-eyed, pigeon toed, box-ankled, poodle-head thing, what do you mean when you tell me it ain't my business and your business when anybody drinks? You are so little that when you die they won't have to bury you, for there won't be enough of you to stink. "Anything that curses my wife, my child, my mother, my home and my country is my business', and thank God for it, too, that I know it's my business. ," Yes, and some of you little scouu drels will say: 'Sam Jones, you don't live in. Macon and ain't in this fight.' "No, I don't Uve in Macon and I thank God I don't. If the devil finds out you Macon people ain't got what he wants you order it for him. The only difference between Macon and hell is that there are Borne good people in Macon and you've got a river down here, and hell ain't got either. "The devil gets anything in Macon he wants by a two-thirds mayority. Now ain't that so? If a man should run for mayor of Macon with the ten commandments as his platform and another man should run with Macon's past history and record as his platform he would win by two to one over the good man. J "I aiu't got any hope for this country until the good people get in front. "And you little dog prohibitionist out there in front of me. You are running with your tail between your legs. "Curl your tail upon yoTtr back, hold your head up and be a man. I'd rather cut my tail off than to be running around with it between my legs. "And you little flop-eared hound, you, what er you want to cuss for, anyhow? You dirty-mouthed dog if you want to get cured of cussing just go home and get yOur wife and your mother to cuss some.. That'll cure you that'll puke a dog I mean it'll puke you. "I know a man who used to cu8 all the time. He would go home and cuss everything and everybody. One day he went home and dinner wasn't ready. ' ;. . : . " 'Ain't that damned -dinner ready yet?' he roared to his wife. "Poor woman -martyr, too, sheJ went out into the kitchen and soon, returned.- " 'No, the damned dinner ain't ready,' she said, 'fire's gone to hell and dam nation is to play- "The man was fdumfounded; but it cured him and he ain't cussed a cuss. since. j ; . . "I want a cussing- car on the rail roads.! We've got a baggage car, and a mail car and aa express car and a sleeping car, but I want a cussing car on every railroad so they can run black mouthed cussing dogs into it for the protection of the decent people.' Beauty is the first present nature gives to women' and the- first it takes away. Only a reminiscence. The veterans not naturally love to recaU the da: side of the civil war. They do ndt "nurse their wrath to keep it warm,'? as id Tam O'Shanter'a witch. The are too busy in making a Uving to spare niucn time to memories of marches and battles and hard-tack and Tagged cloth es. $ut they do indulge in little war incidents and accidents when they meet a comrade and something reminds them oi Bometning. me lour-year war was fuU of heroism and thrilling events, but 1 believe the aftermath, the patching up Of peace, was more proyokinz and discouraging and of longer continuance than the war itself 4 "As iron sharpeneth iron so does a man's face . snarpen tne race or. tus fried." . It is only a reminiscence that I am going to relate. I met the old gentle man yesterday, and as we grasped hands our minds and memories went back to the troubled days of 1865 when first we met, one dark and dreary night. "Who is that ?" he said cautiously as I knock ed at the door. "Talk low," said I ; "they are after your brother to take him back to Virginia and try him for kutluxing those scroundrels. I have brought him over here and hid him ; in your ginhouBe loft, under the straw. Don't let anybody but your wife know where he is." It was. about daybreak, and the old gentleman was in bis night clothes. "Lord, help ua," said he. "Are you telling me the truth ? Who are you ? - Let me light a candle." When he brought it he unlocked the door and opened it just enough for him to see my face, and for me to see him and his double-barreled gun that was near his hand. "Who are. you V he repeated. When I whispered my name he grasped my hand jeargerly, for be knew that I was his brother's counsellor and friend. Hurriedly he put on bis clothes, and we went a blind path to me ginnouse, wmcn was nearly a quar ter of-a mile away. Not :.a soul was stirring, not a, dog barked. "Good Lord," said he, '.'has it come to this. Those villains whom my brother help ed to whip and made them leave the country up in Virginia were worse than the tories of the ,old revolution. They robbed and plundered our people, and had negroes to help them, and we ap pealed in vain to the yankee officers for protection. Our wives and our daugh ters were in continual danger, and we had to kuklux those scoundrels or leave the country ourselves." It was in June, 1865, while I was liv ing in Rome, that I was aroused from sleep about midnight and learned from my Virginia friend that he was in great peril, and wanted assistance and ad vice. A warrant had been issued for him in Virginia and sent to the federal provost marshal at Borne, and he was to be arrested in the morning and sent back for trial. He briefly related the circumstances, and told me he had a brother living in Bartow county, about eighteen miles distant; but nobody in Borne knew him, nor was his brother implicated in the kuklux business, and he might be concealed on his brother's farm somewhere until the federal sol diers left here. "All right," said I; "go back at once and get you a change of clothing and meet me at Norton's corner." It did not take me long-to hitch my horse to the Uttle rock-away and drive down to Broad street and take him in. We took roundance on the soldiers' quar ters and were soon out of the town and on the road' to old Cassville. The night was dark and misty, but we had a good horse, and in about three hours we were nearing the farm. When .oppo site the ginhouee we stopped to recon noiter. We had not passed a man on the road, nor seen a light in anybody's house. So we left that we were safe o far. Driving out to a secluded place we hitched the horse, and then made haste for the ginnouse. The way was clear and the place comfortable. Leav ing the brothers to arrange the'r plans, I drove oi4to Cassville and thence back to Bome in time for breakfast. ' There was quite a stir in the town that day, for it was foon noised around that one of our citizens was wanted and could not be found. A lieutenant in blue had a squad of Dutchmen moving stealthily around as if in search of somebody. At night they watched the the house from a back alley, but saw no sign. For a month or more the in quisition was kept up. His wife and son and daughter and myself and wife exchanged significant glances when we met, but there was no sign or conversa, tion on that subject. In course of time these soldiers were withdrawn. Civil law was restored and oae morning about sunrise my friend surprised his family by walking in to breakfast. Ad vices from Virginia told how the. prose cutor had got into trouble and left the country for his country's good. Strange to say, the man who informed my friend about the warrant was a negro a negro of mixed blood a middle man, who in those perilous and exciting times did his utmost to keep peace and good will between the races. . He was raised by the Berriens, of Savannah, and was hightoned and and of good principles Well educated marshal made a confidant of him, sup posing that he was on their fide and frequently, took his advice where there was a conflict between the whites and the blacks. But for him I would my self have been sent a prisoner to Louis ville aad been punished as mayor j for permitting a confederate flag to be dis played one night at a play in the city J nan. xnose were me men's souls and soles.

Now we can have confederate reunions and can build monuments to confederate heroes and even the north pays honor and tribute to our loyalty, and the blue and j the gray fight Bide by side by side in j de fense of our country. Time is a good doctor, but he is slow, awful slow, i We fought four years, but it took longer than that to make peace. We fought four months this time, but how long it will take to make peaceno-, man can tell.

Don't fail to make the words sung the sentiment of your heart while sing ing. It is mockery to sing praises with the mouth while the heart is far away. Lock-jaw. Youth's Companion. Lock-Jaw, or tetanus; is a disease which fortunately, ia more read about than teen; yet it is not very rare, at least in its mild form. It occurs more frequently in children than in older people, and oftener in boys than in girls; but this is probably only because boys are more liable to cut and scratch themselves, for it is after ; such injuries that lockjaw usually occurs. The disease is more common in some countries than in others, England be ing one of the countries, and Cuban an other, in which it prevails to a much greater extent than in the United States. Here, too, some states and some portions of states'have anunenviablepreeminence in this regard. - The trouble usually begins with a stiffness and tendency to contraction in the muscles which bring the teeth to gether, and with the progress of the disease it becomes impossible to open the mouth hence the popular name, "lock-jaw." The other muscles of the face soon become affected in the same way, and after them the muscles of the neck, the trunk and the extremities. According asone or another set of mus cles is the strongest or most firmly con tracted, the arms and legs will be thrown into constrained positions, and the body will be bent forward, or backward,-or to one side. , When these spasms which are .us ually painful are v.ery severe and re cur frequently or even become continu ous, tetanus is usually fatal. Fortu nately, however, this is the less com mon form of the disease. In the usual milder variety the spasms are less se vere and less frequent, and soon, with proper care, begin to become less and less marked until they finally cease en tirely, j ; Lockjaw is caused by a poison excret ed by a microbe which is. found in the soil, especially- in that near stables and in manure heap?. This poison, which is somewhat like strychnine in its effects, is absorbed in to the RvRtpm through a wound maHn I a moto noil ftf nthfr Hirtff i-ihiofto Sltneace. But one thinir iHiWo'n.

Sometimes, especially in tropical countries like Cuba, the disease comes on after a wetting or a sudden chill, even when there is no wound of the skin so far as can be seen, or it may follow insect bites. A person with .lockjaw must keep perfectly quiet and shielded from any thing that may bring on a paroxysm, such as a touch, a jolt of the . bed, or even a strong draught of air. The The treatment belongs entirely to the physician, for tetanus is too serious a malady ajxl too rapid in its course to permit of any experimenting with do mestic remedies. The-fal cases usually last only founor five days, but the milder forms may continue for two waeeks be fore recovery is complete. V "Mr. C. M.

Populist party in North Carolina has simply ceased to exist With the Republican leaders the ques tion is what has become of their party ? ixionel Keogh, who ought to know, says the Democrats are in the saddle for twenty-five years. The Republi cans in not a few cases appear to think the elimination of the negro vote their only nope. This means that they fa vor a flilly-white" Republican party; Senator, Pritchard favored- that plan ten years ago. It was. thought he still favored it, so your correspondent asked mm the question. He says in reply that "the Republican party wants in its ranks all persons to whom the constitu tion guarantees the franchise." But other Republicans say that they will never vote for a negro or for any party which puts a negro on its ticket. There is an end to negro office holding in the State. The holding of office, the desire for it and the solidarity of his vote are the three things which have arrayed the white men against the negroes. It was said directly after the election that next August there would be a pop ular vote on disfranchisement of igno rarfE Voters, but it now appears that there cannot be a constitutional con vention or a popular vote before 1900 ends. Ex-Senator Jarvis declares that no convention can be. called until the people have sanctioned it and that their I judgment cannot be taken before the general election in November, 1900; while on the other hancf, should the legislature, at its session which begins next January, propose any alteration in the constitution it cannot be passed upon by the people before ,the general election in, 1900, This makes one thing quite clear and" that is there will be no constitutional amendment In stead, the legislature will enact a care ful election law. This is the opinion of Democratic State Chairman F. M. Simmons: He said so.in response to a direct question. He says he favors the election law plan. The direct aim and purpose is to protect the eastern and other counties in which the negroes preponderate, from black domination. A county- government law will still further carry out the plan. The Sii' preme Court has decided that the legis lature can provide one kind of govern ment for one county and another for another county. For instance, for a negro county the legislature can elect magistrates and the latter can then elect county commissioners and other offi cers. Senator Butler before the elec tion acknowledged that this could be done. The Republican and Populist State chairmen say they conferred'and agreed tgat it must and should be done. But the mass of the white voters did not believe the fusionists would do this. They knew the Democrats would. It explains the big vote. The Democratic papers are prompt in their expressions of thanks to i the white Republicans and the Populists who at the i "white men s' call came forward and made victory certain. One of the leading Republican ' papers, in fact, the organ of the eastern Republi cans, puts the case very well indeed. It says: ' "It was not in the full such a Demo cratic victory, for it is conceded that but for the laid rendered by thousands of white Republicans all over the State, who felt that Jhe time had came to Reach the negro office-seeker who dom inated conventions a salutary lesson, the result would have been different." Senator Butler declared himself for a constitutional convention. -That to the mind of the average Democrat is reason enough for not having anyj con vention. I he hatred oi liutler in so great that it passes description, j It is only equaled by the hatred felt for Gov ernor Russell. No men in all North Carolina are to-day Tnore friendless than Butler and Russell and they are painfully aware of it. Their ony hope is in retirement from politics. Strange things may happen in the next two years, but surely none so strange as their return to any sort of favor with any party. j The sentiment is strong against the negro in politics; it is tar; stronger against his white advisers. Uusually after a campaign there is oblivion so far as things done during the campaign are concerned, but this time there is manifest a disposition to hold the lead ers of negroes to strict accountability and to punish frauds perpetrated durr ing the campaign. The Republicans posed as the party of "ballot bqx purity, yet there is no telhng how many frauds it perpetrated. Mitchell county is the stronghold' of white Re publicanism. It is a striking! com mentary that it is the worst county in the State, and that though it is said that there have been within its borders over 150 murders since 1865, there has not been a legal execution. At one precinct in MitcheU the1 election man agers were drunk on election day and did not count the ballots until the day following, and then the number was greater than the precinct registration. Governor Russell absolutely -refuses to talk about the result of the election, of the riot at W llmington (or rather the revolution there), or of the threat of Governor Tanner,, of Illinois, in refus ing to allow negro laborers to enter that State. To all inquiries the governor replies that the time has not come for him to talk. Wilmington "blazed the way" in regard to getting rid qf negro office holders and of negro insolence. Some towns followed its lead.) It was thought Newbern would do so, but so far "11 is quiet there, the whites making the expatriated Wilmington agitators move on- - It now turns out that one of these was Manly, a brother of the Wil mingtqn editor, and that this Manly is the fellow who was setupon and beaten in the postoffice at Norfolk. V Senator" Butler has retired from the newspaper life, it is learned, j He con tents himself now "with attacking "mo nopolies." He thinks this jb be the issue in the -next campaign.) Ex-Senator Jarvis says the people of this State will; in 1900, be called on to pass upon great national questions Senator Pritchard will this week issue an ad- I dress to the RepubUcan party He will give his -views on its future policy and will say he believes it has a future. He knows full well that if the race issue is ever again made thousands , of the best men of his party will again antag onize tne negro. ; There is no little comment on the ac tion of the Republicans in coming for ward alter the election and saying, as the organ of Piedmont, S. C, put it, mat "tne negro as a race Has never benefited the RepubUcan party." This is truljra "deathbed repentance."
