Some of His Bright Sayings in His Current Lectures. Here are some of Sam Jones' witty sayings, as reported by the Citizen from his lecture in Asheville this week: This is a great old world, and I'm not going to leave it on purpose. Here's one fellow who is not going to kill his fool self. ' -.V ' I've no respect for growlers, there fore I don't respect many people. This nation reminds me of a family of spoiled children. '-. That philosopher 'has not yet lived whs can tell which is the beet estate, to bo hungry and have nothing to eat or to have the colic from eating too much. I want to give you the worth of your money if you've got any place to put it Some of you dollar fellows, I expect, paid too much. But if you haven't got room for it you can just sit still and let it run over. There is nothing iu this world to which I tip my hat with profounder respect than a genuine man. The only trouble about it is, I don't have to tip it often. A man is bigger than a king bigger than a president. If there lis a man in poll- tics I don't know it. Take North Caro lina for example. A Boston man once asked me: "Does the nigger differ from the white man in instinct V" I told him no, the difference was mostly iu the out-stink. : Some old deacon who swindles you will say "I'm obliged to live." That's a lie he can die any day he wants to. (Vmong tho girls we need more honey : bets and ftwer butterflies. I don't ob ject to bangs; I think bangs are becom ing to women and mules. When women get to cutting off the tops of their dresses for the ball-room and the bottoms for the bikes, I begin to get frightened. Some say Sam Jones is vulgar. When they say I'm vulgar it's like the skunk telling the 'possum his breath smells It is a reversal of God's order of things hen woman becomes the leader in im modesty. Another Remodelled Car. The second remodelled winter ear of the Raleigh Street Railway was given a trial trip to-day which was very satis factory. It will be put on and run reg ularly about the middle of the week.
