TROUBLE IN NORFOLK.
THE VIROINIAX VERSUS SAM JONES
SOME SPICY READINO A CATHOLIC
EDITOR WHO DOES NOT EXHIBIT
MICH TACT SAM'S REPLY TO THE
EDITOR'S ATTACK.
All our people arc interested in
Sam Jones, and the news from his
Norfolk meeting is of an- unusually
lively order. The Danville "Regis
ter" says that it received semi-official
infonnation Wednesday night that
trouble wa? brewing in the city by
the nea.
The story went that there was a
strong opposition to Mr. Jones; that
the behavior of a large part of the
large congregations which assembled
in the tabernacle, was boisterous and
disgraceful; that men paraded the
street in front of the tabernacle sing
ing an improvised song, the chorus of
which was "Hang Sam Jones on a
Crab Apple Tree;" that street car
drivers were loud and boisterous
in announcing the arrival of the c.ars
at the tabernacle, calling out,' "Sam
Jones' mill one hour for gospel re
freshments," etc., etc.; that Mr. Jones
though bravely holding his own, had
found it necessary to call the city
ciyil authorities to suppress the gen
eral disorder; that the evangelist had
announced Norfolk as being next to
New Orleans, the wickedest hole on
the American continent.
Tne "Register" telegraphed to Nor
folk for a full reiort of these things,
but the persons telegraphed to were
ominously silent, and the presumption
was) that "they were ashamed for re
ports to go out through the, news
p:i:ers. -
But the Norfolk papers, while they
do iot give the whole story, furnish
enough to satisfy any one that all
ha not been lovely.
r. Jones did not call on -the au
thoHtivs to maintain order, and among
other "things said: "If you officers
can't keep things quiet just one of
you come up here and preach for me
anil I will take your place and guar
'antce that there will be good order
within a circle of forty, feet from this
pijilpit." . ' ' .
J The following extract from the re
port of the services taken from one of
t he-Norfolk papers gives an idea of
Sam's opinion of Norfolk religion.
You've got a lot of business relig
ion in this town. Some of 3 011 breth
rn only cone to church at night a
sort of owl religion. t" .
jOnlv two ushers here this morning
UJJ LiliV. U I Will LlHili, ilLlt JWl U
been organizing a meeting for, over
two months and the second morning I
am here can't muster ushers enough
to ta,ke up collection. Pretty- gang,
ain't you? Some of the ushers down
town chasing nickels now. You say
some of them will get mad. Going
around here, big Ike, wearing a badge
and you couldn't flnd'em with a
bloodhound. There's one good thing.
If all the christians get mad with
nie, me and sinners will have a big
meeting. Old mad sister. Did vou
ever see one? Looks like a wet hep.
Laughter. I believe in people do
ing their duty or resigh'ihg. One old
woman got mad with me for compar
ing folks with horses. I told her
wouldn't hurt the horse's 1 feelings by
the comparison if there had been.
These folks who are always sending
other folks to do something don't
amount to much.
Many times we preachers get an
eye on a good position when the Lord
is pointing to some smaller place. I
used to think, before I got religion;
that preachers were sort of angels.
Rut I saw ono with his onat off nnro'
and he didn't have wings. Take a
preacher from a $2,500 church and
put him at a small mission, his health
is bad and his wife t is always sick.
Rut did you ever sec a preacher who
Why, Rrother Tudor told me this
morning that his health had never
been better than since his stay in
. Norfolk. The trouble with the church
Jt(wlav is that too manv arc blowing
amj two few working. If you have got
one liberal man in Norfolk who gives
to the church, trot him out I want
to see him. Have you got one, Broth
er Starr? Rrother Starr ain't pla
ing. Laughter. You great big
wealthy Baptist?, Methodists, and
Presbyterians in this town, and the
colored people have got. the finest
church here. Scandalous; ain't it?
If some of you church people don't
improve your ways, Brother Tudor
ami some of these other preachers
v. v v. o vrvvi iiv.aiiii as iney
'are having now, One sister - says
Brother Jones will be on his guard
about talking in Norfolk. Think I
would be on my guanl in this town.
I could put the whole business in in
vest pocket, and when I put Thy hand
in there a dozen of jon fellows would
be riding on a tooth pick: LLaughter.
And you old sisters think I am going
to uc careful now 1 talk.
There are more cowards to" the
square, inch and more slaves in Amer
ica than in any other country' in the
world.
The Norfolk "Virginian," whose
suitor anil proprietor is a noman jsl
tholic of the strictest sect, comments
editorially as follows:
"The 'Virginian,' presents the fol-
lowing expressions from the talks of
Sant Jones on Tuesday at the taber
nacle. It is difficult to realize that a
man who pretends to convert sinners
from evil ways should litter such
course and, at times, blasphemous
language be fore an audience which
contains so man Christian ladies and
gentmelen; so many modest girls and
innocent children and venerable mat
rons. '
"This city has never before wit
nessed such an exhibition' of coarse
ness in language from a stand erect
ed for the furtherance of .God's honor
and glory. The commonest vendor of
disreputable nostrums who cries aloud
from street corners the value of his
pwares, never equalled in slang the
utterances of this man, who dares to
point the road to heaven bj means of
such billingsgate."
The Extracts here given will testify
the correctness of this conclusion.
Here follows sixteen quotations
characteristic of the Georgia evan
gelist, and the "Virginian'' adds:
"The 'Virginian' would consider
itself false to every dictate of right
and duty if it failed to condemn these
shameful utterances from the lips of
one gifted by God with remarkable
intellect, and who prostitutes the
glorious gift of speech by expressions
that would not be tolerated in an
home circle, and which becomes sac
religious when spoken in a building
erected in God's honor."
Mr. Jones' replj to the "Virgin
ian's" article was as follows: " '
If all the strumpets, barkeepers
and gamblers were to go to work
clapping with me I would leave the
town. It's because they are against
me that I am fighting them, and after
some further illustrations and strong
arguments he w;ent on.
If the newspapers of the country
could hurt me I would have been
dead long' ago, but the- can't hurt
me. "When ants crawl over me they
can only make me itch. I like them
all. The newspaper men are the best
fellows in the world.
I was up in the North onCe preach
ing jand one of the papers pitched
into me. I asked who it was writing
against me and was told it was a one
armed man, who the year before had
tried to commit suicide, but had been
cut down from where he had hung
himself, tihtl because he was a cripple
and a fool, I could not resent it and
let him alone.
I have never said a vulgar word
from this stand and the man who
says I. have is a foul-mouthed liar.
I have simply said the truth. I have
met conditions in Norfolk which re
quire plain talk.
GOLDSBORO JOTTINGS.

The fourth will be dull in this city.
A good man watermelons are be
ing brought to town.
Goldsboro will be well represented
at Morehead on the fourth.
The Sunday school of the Presby
terian church will give a lawn party
to-morrow night at Mrs. Gurleck's re
sidences in this city. -!
There were nice rains all around
here Tuesday afternoon, but very lit
tle fell in this city, though it was ex
pected every minute. It is gratifying
to know that the rain came in good
time for the crops.
Mr. J. S. Moore, from nearWaynes
ville, called to pay his subscription
Tuesday afternoon. He informed us
that they had all the rain they need
ed Monday evening in his section just
beyond the river, and the crops were
in a flourishing condition. The rain
came just in the nick of time.
Governor Fowle, his two children,
Mary and Dan, and Private Secretary
Telfair passed . through yesterday
from Morehead. The Governor has
been. sojourning at that popular re
sort the past two weeks for his health.
He is looking well and says, his visit
to the seashore has done him a great
deal of good. . -
Is Consumption incurable
Read the following: Mr.C.H. Mor
ris, Newark, Ark., says: "Was down
with Abscess of Lungs, and friends and
physicians pronounced me an Incurable
Consumptive. Began taking Dr. King's
Ne Discovery for Consumption, am
now on my third bottle, and able to
oversee the work on my farm. It is the
finest medicine ever made." 1
Jesse Middlewart, Decatur, Ohio
says: "Had it not been for Dr. King's
New Discovery for Consumption I would
have died of Lung Troubles. Was
given up by doctors. Am now in best
of health." Try it. . Sample bottles
