A Tribute.
The Pialeigh Ev'nino I'isifnr, in
announcing the -death of our' es
teemed townsman, Dr. T. W. Har
ris, at the residence of his brother-in-law,
Mr. Eugene L. Harris, in
Raleigh, early yesterday morning
says : '
"Dr. Harris was a physician of re
markable attainments and ranked
high in his chosen profession. He
graduated at the .best medical col
lege in this country, as well as in
France.
"He was a member ofColden Link
Lodge No. 114, L O. O. F., of Dur
ham, to which place the remains
were taken on the five p. m. train
for interment.
"The Odd Fellows of this citv ac
companied the remains to the de
pot, when a committee took charge
of them to accompany them and pay
the last tribute of respect to a de
parted brother.
"Dr. Harris was. a native of Chat
ham county. A son of Hon. T. W.
Harris, a well known and highly es
teemed citizen-, who lived and died
near the town of Pittsboro, and
whose memory is cherished by the
good people of- his native county.
What Sam Jones Did.
"Aha," say some of the foolish,
"Sam Jones and prohibition have
nigh about ruined the town." To
sensible, men such twaddle sounds
supremely ridiculous. ' It is true
Durham enjoys the benefits of pro
hibition, and it.is also true that hist
previous to our unfortunate financial
crash, Sam Jones was instrumental
in well nigh converting the town.
But The Plant holds' the town owes
more to the intlucnec that was born
of the Sam Jones meeting in getting
through the great financial crash
that overtook the town, in the quiet
way we did, than to any other cause.
When ana wherever .was it known
t hat hundreds of thousands of dollars
went down in one day in a irreat fi
nancial crash with less of excitement,
less ot bitterness, less of unpleasant
feeling than has been manifested by
this community?
Instance the recent failure of the
State National Bank of Raleigh. The
President and Cashier skipping to
Canada, the depositors of the broken
bank a howling mob filling the
streets of Raleigh, and beseigingthe
banking house until past the mid
night hour. None of these scenes
or anything approaching them
were enacted here. But upon the
other hand The Plant has yet to
hear the first oath sworn; the first
charge of bad faith made against
any one. The first excited depositor,
with railings and maledictions, has
yet to make his appearance. No
crowd of any sort has been seen in
the neighborhood of the unfortunate
bank, but upon the other hand the
street next the bank seems to wear a
deserted appearance, and our people
are full of sympathy, rather than ill
will, towards the bank, and each one
seems to vie with the other, to do
all in his power to mend its broken
fortunes, and to right matters as
speedily as possible.
Now, what has done all this? Its
counterpart fails of parallel. The
Plant affirms, and we feel that we
can abundantly maintain our posi
tion, that all this came from the gra
cious influence left, like a sweet in
cense upon the community, by the
bam Jones meeting. The Plant
was largety instrumental in influenc
ing the coming of Sam Jones, and if
there was to our mind no other visi
ble results of his gracious visit to
Durham, uod be thanked for the
immense amount of erood his visit
has resulted in in the direction men
tioned. And, as one who loves Dur
ham morejhan C;esar loved Rome,
our, humble prayer is that if ever it
falls to our lot to sutler such another
disaster, that God in his wisdom
may first send Sam Jones to prepare
us for it.

quested to attend these meetings and

a few notices :
u Mrs. Wells spoke to a lare au
dience at the courthouse, Thurs
day night,, on Social Purity. She
told some plain truths in so woman-
ly and gentle a manner that ever
ter that follows will show that Sam
is not only alive, but that he is still
engaged in the work of " hanging
hides on poles" in his own inimita
ble style.
The reporter for the Yicksburg
Herald made a thrust at Sam in the
following special to his paper :
"Grkknvillk, Nov. .12 -Sam Jones
insulted the Jewish rabbi in the fol
lowing words: '1 am told that the
old Jew rabbi has got on his ear be
cause I said something about him.
Now let the old Jew goon his ear il
he wants to, and fan himself with
the other 'ear. I don't care.' Sam
Jones has been very studious to in
sult Presbyterians. Methodists. H:m-
tists and Episcopalians, but his mis
sion was ended when he offered the
plain insult to the neonle who Jo
not go to hear his nonsense and have
fived before he came to Greenville
Sam is very unentertaininn-: Ins
main forte is to pull his mustache
and nnger his hair and call ladies
sister who would not associate with
him, to call men brother, who would
uesmse mm as an o d worn nut
drunkard, and who uses his text for
causes that are so lar awav from
glory that God doesn't recognize his
lingo sucu is the infamous Sam
Jones.
The Greenville Delta has the fol
lowing upon what Sam had to say
about the fellow that tackled him:
"Col. Jack Lavins. who is here re-
porting Sam Jones' sermons for the
lckshurg Herald, missed it this
morning. Rev. Mr. Jones paid his
respects to him in a manner calcu
lated to jerk the cuticle from his
quivering carcass. He called the
elegant colonel 4a stinking lvinr
..... . ri . ---ri
and thieving scoundrel, and other
soothing names which we don't just
now recall. He said further, 'He
looks like he had laid around a hog
pen drunk and had his nose eat off
by the buzzards. It's a pity they
didn't eat him all up.' Mr. Lavins
had the misfortune to get his nose
bit off in a fight in Yicksburg some
years ago and this remark of the
preacher's was in the nature of a
home thrust."
In another article, in the same is
sue, the Dlta has the following de
fence of "our Sam':
" The communication sent from

Prof. K. o. Exeell.
The Greenville, Miss.?
pays the following compliment to
! rot- - Kxeell, who is conduct
ing the music at the Sam Jones
meeting, at that place:
"Music is always a otent factor
in God s work. Rev. -Mr. Jones has
the power to sway multitudes and
make them laugh or crv at his will,
hut his musieal assistant adds at
least one-half to the services. No
JmxIv who has a pathetic nature can
listen to his melodious strains with
out having their thoughts trans
ported heavenward.
"Although .Air. Kxeell has a na
tional reputation, his genuine ability
is not known by the jH'ople of the
South, and especially those of Mis
sissippi. He has organized the members of
the choirs of the four protestant
churches into one large choir and
the singing at the tent is thereby
made almost perfect. At first, but
tew of the audience would try to
sing. They would tacitly submit
the "finiky" I rant. But by gentle
persuasion he has made every one
to astonish himself, at the music he
can make. The singing itself ought
to niak one want to be a chris
tian. There is a peculiar kind of
happiness comes to the ehorister
which can be supplied by no other
source.'
