SAM JONES DISCUSSES DOWIE AND
OTHER TOPICS OF INTEREST.
Atlanta Journal.
I am still circulating in the far
west. This splendid Kansas town is
situated in the Republican valley,
and this is the land of alfalfa and
some other things. The farmers are
prosperous and the railroads are
busy, and the merchants wear a
pleasing smile which evidences the
fact that they are not losing money
I am sure I have traveled over the
richest and most prosperous sections
of the United States and Canada on
this tour. I am sure that as these sec
tions shall become thickly settled,
and seasons remain and time and har
vest shall come to them with the uni
formity with which they have for
the past few years. Then the wealth
of these people will he beyond their
dreams of today.
The farmers of Indiana, Ohio, Illi
nois, Iowa and Kansas are going to
the northwest in droves and crowds.
They sell their lands in the older
states for one hundred dollars and
more per acre and then they put out
to the northwest and buy the best
lands in the world at from ten to
forty dollars an acre. North Dakota
is as level as a die and as rich as the
Delta of the Mississippi and as pro
ductive as a Cuban cane field.
This tour has a revelation to me,
in many ways. If I were a young
man I would put out for the north
west and let the country grow up
with me, and I would be at the grow
ing by a wholesale majority. These
people are hardy, strong and frugal.
One man with the improved machine
ry they have out here will cultivate
lt" acres in wheat, or rather two
men turn the land with six-horse
gang men turning plows, and sow the
Mheat with drills which sow twenty
feet wide, and only in the harvest
do they need any more help than tin
two men on a--!(-aere farm, and they
will make -Jo to :i0 bushels of the best
wheat in the world per acre, and
they are doing this very thing up
there now, and getting rich at it.
They only have to work on the
farms about three months in the
year, and the balance of their time
they can be looking after stock and
doing many things for which they
are well paid.
I was in St. Paul and Minneapolis
part of two days. The Twin Cities
are certainly feeling and enjoying
the prosjn.'rity which has come to the
northwest. Those immense flouring
mills at Minneapolis right in the
midst of the wheat belt look like they
could feed the world. Our Georgia
mills look like 15 cents beside the
Washburn and Pittsburg mills. These
mills make flour, but they make
money for thousands of people, and
they are in business to stay. The
northwest farmers are great ad
mirers of Jim Hill, the railroad king
of the northwest. He is the king
bee of the Great Northern, the
Northern Pacific and the Burlington
three of the greatest railroads in
the world. He seems to treat the
farmers along the line of his road
fairly, charging them only 14 cents
per hundred pounds freight, which
is only about S cents per bushel on
wheat. From the Dakota to St.
Paul or Minneapplis, the fanners say
that without competition and on his
own motion, he has reduced the rates
per hundred from 2,1 to 1 1 cents
in the past few years. Then
again, he up put cash prices for the
best in all things the northwest
farmer can raise and thus stimulates
them to the best efforts in all lines of
farming. If he is not the friend and
ally of the farmer, they believe he is,
and that makes it all the same. They
have faith in Jim Hill as they call
him.
Springtime is coming out here in
northwestern Kansas, but there is
not a vestige of spring yet north of
the Kansas line, except the warm
weather of the past few days. No
FACTS IN NATURE.
Not Only Do We Get InpIratIon From
Natar, Bat Health aa Well.
For nooplo who are run-down an! nprv
ous, who suffer from iinliK'tion or lys-
fiepsia, headache, biliousness, or torpid
Iver, coated tongue with bitter taste 1:1
the morning and piwr appetite, it be
comes necessary to turn to some tonic nr
Btrenpthenor which will a-viist Nature
and help them to get on their feet and
put the body into iu proper condition. It
Is becoming moro and more apparent tlmt
Nature's moat valuable healt'--giving
agents are to be found ia f. rc.T plants
and roots.
Nearly forty years ayo, Dr. R.V. Pierce
now consulting phvsician to the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo,
N. Y., discovered that by scientifically
extracting and combining certain meli, i
nal principles from native roots, taken
from our American forests, he could pro
duce a medicine which was marvelously
efficient in curing cases of blood disorder
end liver and stomach trouble as well as
many other chronic, or lingering ail
ments. This concentrated extract of
Nature's vitality he named "Golden Med
ical Discovery." It purifies the Mood by
putting the stomach and liver into
nealthy condition, thereby helping the
digestion and assimilation of food which
feeds the blood. Thereby it cures weA
stomach, Indigestion, torpid liver, or bil
iousness, and kindred derangements.
If you have coated tongue, with bitter
or bad taste In the morning, frequent
headaches, feel weak, easily tired, stitches
or pain in side, back gives out easily and
aches, lelching of gas, constipation, or
Irregular bowels, feel flashes of heat al
ternating with chilly 9ensationi or kin
dred symptoms, thev point to derange
ment of vour stoinacii, liver and kidneys,
which the "Golden 'Medical Discovery"
will correct more speedily and perma
nently than any other known agenl. Con
tains no alcohol or habrt-forming drugs.
All its ingredients printed in plain Eng
lish on wrapper.
The sole motive for substitution Is to
permit the dealer to make a little mora
pro tit. He gains; you lose. Accept no sub
stitute for "Golden Medical Discovery."
Constipation causes and aggravates
many serious diseases. It is thoroughly
cured by Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets.
One & laxative; two or three are cathartic.
Krass or budding or trees, or fruits.
The fields and trees still look like
January. I suppose that down in
dear old Georgia that the trees
now are as green as the people (in
Africa. )
I shall have one week in Kansas,
thence into Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas; then
home for two days. On the 2i)th of
April I shall begin meetings in Ev
ansville, Ind.
I have been over the Harrfman
lines a great deal, and I've never
heard any one bragging on him, but
I have heard many things said about
his lines that doesn't belong in the
Sunday School lessons) It is said
that Jim Hill's roads are the biggest
and best freight lines in the west,
but that he doesn't care for passen
ger traffic, and maybe there is some
truth in that, for they say along the
Burlington lines now that they side
track all passenger trains for the
freights, and I saw that done four
times yesterday between Omaha and
Hastings, Neb., and we lost nearly
two hours in the game.
Excell will lead the music and the
Blacksmith Preacher, of Knoxville.
Tenn., willrbe with us also.
The memories of that awful rail
road wreck hang to me, and when
ever a train lunges or jumps around
a little more than a smooth track
would make it, I feel my hair rising
and my flesh crawling. I suppose a
fellow will get over it by and by. I
was blocked out from my engage
ment at Arapahoe, Neb., last nisrht
by a bad freight wreck, but 1 did not
kick, because I was glad it was not
our train wrecked.
On all sides we hear the question,
"What about Dowie?"
Well, the plain fact in the case is
simply Dowie is insane.
Dowie has been and is now one of
the greatest personalities in the
whole world. He claimed too much.
He reminds me of the fellow in the
saloon, who, having tanked up on
mean liquor, remarked to the crowd
in the saloon: "Gentlemen, I can
whip any man in this saloon." He
then took another drink and said:
"Gentlemen, I can whip any man in
this town." and still no response. He
took another drink, and said: "Gen
tlemen, I can whip any man in this
country." And about that time a
big fellow hauled away and knocked
him down, and he got up and said:
"Gentlemen, I suppose I took in too
much territory the last challenge."
Dowie claimed too much. I do not
think Dowie was or is a bad man.
He is more fool than knave. It is
his friends that's doing him up.
Dowie always held his own with his.
enemies, but he owes his downfall to
his friends. Old Job of old fought
his enemies and whipped them, but
when his friends jumped on him he
cursed the day he was born. Poor
old Dowie! He took in too much
territory when he went off to Mexico.
Broken in health and mind, and
wounded in spirit and disappointed
in his ambitions, he won't live long.
I pity the poor old man.
Yours truly,
Sam P. Jones.
Young Lady Victim of Unusual Rowdyism.
Spencer, April 16. Miss Ida
Shives, of Cabarrus county, who is
visiting her sister, Mra. R. A. Sapp,
in this place, was the victim on Sat
urday night of a cowardly attack by
unknown parties who threw a bottle
into her room striking her in the
neck, inflicting slight injuries and
knocking a lamp from her hand. The;
deed was committed at a late hour
and followed by the arrest of Edward
Kennedy and E- Weber, of Balti
more, who were stopping at the
boarding house of the Sapp family.
The arrest was made on the charge
of disorderly conduct, the two men
having climbed upon a porch roof and
threw a bucket of cold water through
a window upon William Herri m,
also of Baltimore, who was asleep in
lied. The parties who made the at
tack upon Miss Shives escaped. , All
of the parties recently came to Spen
cer from Baltimore and are strangers
here.

Ancient Sed Sprouts.
A cable dispatch to the New York
Sun from London savs;
"In the course of a sermon last
evening, Rev. Mr. Husband, rector
of St. Michael's Chuch, Folkstone,
said he had a remarkable illustration
of the indestructibilty of life. A resi
dent of Folkstone, he said, had many
years ago received a present of two
beans which had been taken from the
coffin of an ancient Egyptian. . The
beans were probably 2,000 or 3,000
years old. A few weeks ago this
resident planted one of the beans,

SOUTHERN METHODISTS MEET AT
BIRMINGHAM IN MAY.
Atlanta Journal.
The thirteenth quadrennial session
of the general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South,
will convene in Birmingham, Ala.,
on May 'A.
There are more than one million
and six hundred thousands members
in this division of the Wesleyan
army. There are nearly seven
thousand traveling preachers and
five thousand in the local ranks.
There are forty-six annual conferen-
ce. which furnish the men who
make up he general conference,
each annual conference sending one
ay and one clerical delegate for
ery forty eight clerical members.
There are five conferences in the
system of 'Methodism the church
conference, the quarterly confer
ence, district conference, annual
conference and the general confer
ence, which is the only law making
body in the church.
The lay members are elected by
the laymen and the clerical by the
preachers. Paragraph 3o of the
book of discipline says : "The
ministers and laymen shali deliberate
in one body, but upon a call of one
fifth of the members the lay and
clerical shall vote separately, and no
measure shalrbe passed without the
concurrence of a majority of both
classes of representatives."
The conference has full power to
make rules and regulations for the
church under certain restrictions.
They cannot revoke, alter or change
the twenty-five articles of religion ;
they cannot do away with the epis
copacy or destroy the plan of our
itinerant general superintendency ;
the cannot do away with the priv
ilege Of -preachers or laymen of the
right of a trial before a committee,
or the right of an appeal.
The bishops preside at all the
sessions of the body and vote in the
case of a tie.
There are eleven members of the
college of bishops, as follows : A. W.
Wilson, J. C. Cranberry, W. W.
Duncan, C. B. Galloway. E. R.
Hendrix, J. S. Kev, O. P. Fitzgerald.
W. A. Candler, II. C. Morrison, E.
E. Hoss, A. C. Smith. As some of
these are advanced in years, it is
likely that the conference will elect
two or three more bishops this time.
The elections are all by ballot and
there are no candidates and no elec
tioneering for the placets to be filled.
That is, there is supposed to be none.
( 'f course, a good many names are
mentioned in connection with certain
offices, but a good way to defeat a
man would be to "boom" him.
There has been a good deal of crit
icism concerning promiscuous nom
ination of men for the bishobric,
coming sometimes from men in high
places.
It is quite probable that an effort
will be made to bring about a change
in the law regulating the stationing
of preachers.
Under the present law the bishop
can't appoint a pastor to a church
for longer than four consecutive
years; The ' Methodists of the
northern branch of the church have
done away with the time limit, and
there is a growing sentiment in
favor of taking the same step in
Southern Methodism.
Some action may be taken to
regulate the work of evangelists ia
the bounds of the church.

WOMAN COUNTERFEITER REFUSED
ENTRANCE TO PENITENTIARY.
"Look at Me," Said Mrs. Smoot, "and
Tell Me if I Look Like a Member of a
Counterfeit Gang."
Atlanta Journal.
Convicted of making and circula
ting counterfeiting rive-dollar gold
pieces and sentenced to serve twelve
months, Mrs. Alice Smoot, 25, and
pretty, Friday morning arrived in
Atlanta in the custody of Deputy
United States Marshal Millikan, and
when carried to the federal prison
was refused admittance, Warden
Moyer notifying the deputy marshal
that the Atlanta penitentiary did not
take women prisoners.
Mrs. Smoot was taken to police
headquarters, where she will be kept
until arrangements can be completed
for her transportation to the peni
tentiary at Nashville, Tenn. Both
the woman and her husband, G. L.
Smoot, were convicted on the same
charge. The man was given two
years and accompanied his wife and
the marshal to Atlanta, where he
was turned over to the federal prison
authorities.
Mrs. Smoot talked freely with a
Journal man Friday morning, stat
ing that at the time of her arrest on
March 2-'!rd, she was engaged in so
liciting funds for the building of a
new Baptist church at Trap Hill, N.
C. Her husband, who was a bridge
foreman in West Virginia, was noti
fied of his wife's troubles and hur
ried to her, only to be met at the
train by an officer and locked up on
a similar charge.
Mrs. Smoot d eclares that while
she is guilty of passing the "queer,"
she did so unwittingly, and that she
never manufactured the coin nor did
her husband, it having been handed
to her by a strange man at the en
trance of the postoffice at Winston,
X. -.
She says she is of the opinion that
the police were on the trail of the
stranger, and that he gave her the
package of money in order to get rid
01 it. At tne tria 01 the woman and
her husband the impression seemed
to prevail that thev were members
of a shrewd gang of counterfeiters,
and that the husband and his pals
coined the gold pieces while the wo
man circulated them.
In discussing the charges against
her Mrs. Smoot remarked :
"I wish you would take a good look
at me and tell me if you would be
lieve that I am a member of a gang
counterfeiters. I tell the truth when
I declare that am a mountaineer,
born and reared in the mountains of
North Carolina.
"It seems hard for us to have to
bear punishment for a crime of which
we are innocent. Since mv arrest
and conviction I have become so dis
couraged and disheartened that I
would not care if they were to hang
me,
When asked to pose for a picture
by the Journal photographer the
young woman at first hesitated, say
ing she was not dressed up enough.
Finally she consented, saying as she
took her seat :
"No one will recognize me as the
beautiful belle of Wilkes."
On being questioned further Mrs.
Smoot said :
"That's what the newspapers all
call me."
Corsets Cause Dath.
A cable dispatch to the New York
Sun from London says :
At an inquest mto the death of
one Jane Sex, of Southwark. a phy
sician who attended the woman tes
tified today that he believed her
death was caused by corsets. She
wore two pairs of them, he said.
He tound that her liver was nearly
split in two, and he attributed her
death to heart failure, which was
accelerated by the pressure of the
iver on the heart.
