Ill health drove him to excessive drinking, ‘ ami for some years he was a wild, royster- ing fellow. Then he turned his back on the old life and became one of the motft power ful and unique advocates of right liv ing In the country. No man was a more Implacable foe of whisky than Sam Jones, and his absolute fearless- ness in fighting It won him renown over the Union. In 1872 he professed religion, and was ordained to the Methodist ministry the same year. He joined the North Georgia conference and served various charges for a number of years. For twelve years he was the agent of the North Georgia Orphanage. Early In Ills ministerial career he be gan to attract wide attention by bis brilliant wit, bis exquisite touches of putlm* and his m^que manner of gain ing and holding the attention of III* audiences. Yielding to the urgent so licitations that came to him from nil over the country, be severed his con nection with the Methodist conference many years ago and became an evan gelist and lecturer. » Became Evangelist • Demands for his services 'came from ail parts of the country, am* lie was constantly engaged from Florida to Maine and from the Atlantic to the his time wus given to lecturing at the largest Chautauqua* Hast and West. It has often been aald that Sam Jones had addressed more |>eople In the United States than any other public character, and this statement has never been disputed. His style wns peculiar ly III* own. Many have tried to Imi tate him, but with the moat Indifferent success. Stinging sentences and tongue lashings from thlA wonderful man were accepted as a matter of fact. Coming from a different personality, the people resented It. More than once the physical courage of Sam Jones had been tested, and he was as quick to defend himself In that way, If the necessity sense, as he was to stand as granite on grest moral questions. How Hs Swayed Audience,. His wonderful Individuality, his splendid flow of language and his unique methods of expression marked him as a man of power. He swept the strings of human emotlojt at will. Now he towered like the wrath of Him whom he served and atuitg with hla fearless and overwhelming denuncia tion all forms of evil living. Again, ho poured out his great heart in > melting tenderness as though he would shelter the weary and the heart-sick from lhe storms tluil beset them. lie was a master of anecdote and Its application. He Imd swayed great au diences from laughter to tears In a moment. He hated deceit and all the evil things of life, and fought them with deadly ferocity. He turned count less thousands from the wrong to the good things of life by sheer force of his eloquence nnd his sincerity. Died in Harn,,,.

On Monday morning an effort wns made to locate the young man, but it. was learned that ho was out automoblllng with his friend who Is deceived as to his guest's Identity.

None of the cuts Inflicted by tho razor was deep enough to product death. It Is thought. There was enough carbolic ncld missing from the bottle found near his side to point strongly to the theory that Captain Nunemach. er died from poison. To Be Married Soon.
