Under this caption, the (Jreens boro Wnii mini of a recent date, says: "We have never had the privilege of seeing or hearing the Rev. Sam Jones, and therefore our estimate of him is from the accounts we have seen. Some of his reputed sayings are tough, indeed ; but one of two things must be true, either he did not speak as reported, or if he did they did not impair the force of his preaching. Thus his hard sayings may be disposed of. If they fitted the people for whom they were in tended, our disapproval of them amounts to nothing. Speaking of 'hard sayings,' it will be remembered that on one occasion when our saviour nau an " "'V" unknown fact that his llesh was to be , i i .v. v.;k-,i eaten and his blood drank, many of his disciples said, 'this is a hard sav ing,' and from that time many of, them 'went back and walked no more with him.' They had never j heard such a statement, and so it is i in the case of Mr. Jones. If we have any standard of propriety in lan-j guage or manner which we esteem j to be of more moment than the j overwhelming and glorious success of Rev, Sam Jones in the conversion ! of sinners, the standard is a mere toy in comparison.

"One of the curious things of his tory it is more curious than any thing attributed to Sam Jones L- that some of the hardest critics ol the evangelist would be ready at any time to appropriate his work in the shape ot his converts, and while pro testing against his way of slinging the gospel broad axe would pick up his chins and put 'them in their own basket.

To make these retleclions as brief as possible Scrip ture methods themselves have often been the most absurd to the eye o the critic, as when the walls Jericho fell down alter being com passed about seven days, with the blowing of ram horns. Rut the suc cess was not in the method, but in the faith attending it.

The terminal, then-lore, bought a majority of the Georgia Central stock at a price that even the holders hardly expected would be paid. There were -till a few who had made nothing to speak ol, and so a lease of the Knoxvilleand Ohio Railroad to the East Tennessee was agreed upon. This was hardly nec essary, as the East- Tennessee owns nearly all the stock of the Knoxville and Ohio, but it improved the value of the bonds of the road, which were held by parties interested. One or two Terminal directors are also stockholdersdn the Mann Boudoir Car Company, and they have been trying for a long time to get its cars introduced upon Southern roads. As about everybody else had. been benefitted by the various deals that had been perfected, it was considered only fair that all should have a chance, ar.d so contract was made by which the Mann cars are to be run all through the South. With the purchase of the Atlantic Coast Line, 'the Terminal will have absolute control of all the roads east of the Alleghany Mountain chain. It only remains for them to secure the Louisville A: Nasliville,with a mileage of 3,000 miles, ami the iecn A: Cres cent system, 1 , 1 () miles long, to fasten its grip upon the entire Smith. Whether it can secure these is ques tionable, as the Louisville k Nash ville stock is widely scattered, and the (Juccn A: Crescent is largely con trolled by an English corporation. As with the Coast Line, however, it is only a question of price, and price is the last thing considered in Teiini nal deals. j ! So far but one puit has been brought to prevent this style of "financier ing," and that is by Nicholas Thoy ron and others. It is considered cer tain, however, that others will be brought by the attorney-generals of Southern States, in nearly every one of which there is either constitutional prohibition or a legislative enactment forbiding such consolidation. The gigantic schemes that are being re volved by the Terminal directors would so effectually control the whole South, leaving no outlet except over one of the lines controlled by that company, that it is believed the peo ple will not permit them to be car ried through. OUIt EXCHANGES. Davidson Ih'sjKid h .- The Asheville Citizen says : "A child was born with two tongues at Haysville." Well, well, for the sake of suffering man we hope that child was not a girl Henderson Time: Arthur Butts exhibited his most excellent pano rama, "Ten nights in a barroom," in the hall Friday night last. Owing to the rain, the audience was small. These views are doing more good for the temperance cause than the speeches of our 'most eloquent pro hibitionists. (iree.nsbtiro Workman : From the (iiniio r we leani the (iraham College has been located permanently at (iraham, on ground lying between Capt. Parkers resilience and Provi dence church. Work begins next spring, and several thousand dollars, it is expected, will be spent before the close of the year RSSlh Asheville Citizen : Some mis creant threw a rock through the windows oftheCrand Central 'bus Thursday night, ""while returning from the depot. The rock was thrown from the left pavement of Patton avenue, near the Roberts place, and narrowly missed strjkinga passenger. The police are at work on the case. Asheville Citizen: The Sabbath like quiet of y esterday was phenom enal. ( )ur people on political mat ters agree to disagree and' do so with much preliminary heat; of words ; but when it comes t6 acts no legal voter is hindered in the slightest. Vet we do not forget Chairman Eaves and the obstructions he had contrived. ( )range County Observer : The North Carolina Conference of the .Methodist Episcopal church, South, will meet in New Heme on the 2.sth day of November and be in session one week. This body is composed of about two hundred and fifty min isters and one hundred lay delegates, making a total of the hundred and fifty persons. Wilmington Jlewnyer of Wednes day : Colonel Waddell returned home yesterday morning, having been in the field continuously since August, and making one of the most arduous and effective campaigns in the political annals of the State. He worked up to the very closing hour of the canvass", making his last speech in Moore on Monday night. Coldshort) Ar;iii,o( Tuesday: To N'orlh Carolina it would be strange if Ransom mn.de anything else than a great speecn, nut. to tnosc wno heard his ell'ort here on yesterday, tht; cogency of reasoning, the fervid- uess of of eloquence, the breadth ami beauty of thought, the bitterness ol scorn and the weight ot denunciation that cliaractcriv.ed the various parts ol the Senators speech was a reve lation to them, even though they had heard him otlcnaiid .gladly before. Asheville Citizen, of Tuesday Never before in the history of Ashe ville has such a demonstration ta ken place as that witnessed by our people last night. Enthusrastic Dein ocrats, the friends of the people, and the defenders of constitutional lib erty, were all in line, and the parade was indescribable. I'nder the man agement of Chief Marshal, A. II. Baird, the line of march was gone through without a hitch. Private residences and public buildings were brilliantly illuminated, and every body that could cheer for Cleveland and honest reform did so. The transparencies were numerous and appropriate. Charlotte Chronicle: The two best allies that the Democratic State Com mittee had during the past campaign, were Judge Dick, of Greensboro, and J. B. Eaves, of Raleigh. The man ner in which the Radical canvass was conducted electrified the people of North Carolina. They beheld with amazement and rage the evi dences that the Republicans were bent on capturing tl&: State, and they heard with indignation of the threats made againts registrars, of the employment of Pinkerton detec tives, of the instructions given to the "Reliables," of the demand for fed eral inspectors, of the i importation of negroes, of the presence of a cor ruption fund from Boodle Morton for the purchase of votes, of the use of forgery, and ot the new doctrine that fraud does not nullify wherever it enters. ; Raleigh Christian Advoeale,: Dur ham, N. C, paid Rev. Sam Jones nearly S2.(HM) in cash for his work there, paid his leader of the singing about -SUN), and gave about $400 for Rev. Sam Jones1 orphanage, besides paving $-100 for the expenses of the meeting. Durham knows how to do handsome things and does them. And still they are accusing Rev. Sam Jones of being rich and etill piling up wealth by his original Etyle of preaching. We nave seen this charge frequently contradicted by those who are in a condition to know. What if he should make money ? Why need any one be troubled over it? If he can do good and make money and usie it wisely, we are glad. It i3 strange how fear ful some people are that a preacher will sa-e a little money out of his earnings. We wish all our preach ers could lay up a little for ohl age, or for their families after they are gone. It would save much suffer- Brewe Up. j You are feeling depressed, yur ajjetite is poor, vou are bothered with headache, you are tidgetty, nervous, ; and generally out of sorts, and want to brace up. prace up, but not with stimulants, j spring medicines, tir bitters, which have for their basis very cheap, bad whit-key, and which stimulate you for an hour, and then leave you in a worse condi tion than before.
