2 SAM JONES MEETING COMES TO J CLOSE TABERNACLE MEETING WAS AN OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT S POWER. CARTBRS VILLE. Sept. 14.—The taber nacle meeting will eome to a cloee tomor row night It has been more spirit ual and far-reaching tn its effects than any that hare been held since the famous bash-arbor meeting from which the tab ernacle sprung. Tomorrow Rev. Bam Jones will preach at 11 o'clock in the morning and at night. Rev. Bascom Anthony, of Savannah, will preach tn the afternoon. It Is expected that a great crowd will be present in Cartersville tomorrow. Yesterday there was a veritable spirit ual feast spread for the great congrega tions that thronged the spacious taber nacle. In the morning Dr. Broughton preached on "The Philosophy of Discouragement." and it was one of the great sermons of this remarkable meeting. It seemed to pulse with power and men heard in awed silence the burning words that fell from the Ups of the speaker. When he had concluded Mr. Jones began to make some announcement, but as he did so a slender, earnest faced woman arose from among the singers and came fofWard as she said, "Brother Jones, may I speak a word?" Mr. Jones fell back, and going up tp the stand she said in a ringing voice that for a long time she had been praying for the power of the Holy Spirit and she thanked God that her prayers had been answered, for the day before while at prayer her heart had been filled and she* had been thrilled with the presence of the spirit of God. -And now," she said. "I am sanctified; I am not a bit afraid of the world—cleansed, set apart for the Mas ter's use. I may be out of harmony with some things, with my family, with my church, with my friends, but I had rather be out of harmony with all of them than to be out of harmony with - The lady who spoke was Mrs. L. R. Gilreath and as she concluded Dr. Monk led the congregation in singing "All Hall the Power of Jesus Name." While it was being sung Miss Pearl Burnham, a sister of Mra. Gilreath, came forward and gave a like testimony after which Dr. Monk again led in singing "The Old Time Religion.' Mrs. Gilreath is a Baptist and her sis ter is a Cumberland Presbyterian. Yesterday afternoon Dr. Monk preached one of the greatest sermons ever heard in Cartersville. It was a plea for godli ness or God likeness Dr. Monk is an orator and his sermon was magnificent from an oratorical as well as a rhetorical / and spiritual standpoint. He pictured how the angels fell, but they were not God's children. When men. his children, fell all be powers of heaven were Galled into play and the personality of God himself was sent forth on the trail of a lost world. The peroration of the sermon was a magnificent burst of pulpit elo quence. The doctor pictured God throw ing out the great lever of His love and resting it upon Calvary's bloody ful crum He pictured the fallen world as it was being lifted back to its original purity, described the saints as with wav ing banners they saluted ruddy Mars, and shouted "Happy, happy;" pictured them as they greeted the evening star with glad cries of “Happy, happy, on the way,” •nd presented them calling out to Jupiter and Baruro to shout the glad news along the heavenly way that the world was coming back to God. Cries and shouts were heard all over the building as the world was swing ing back into place, while some clapped their hands and laughed the holy laugh. And then as by common consent when a proposition was made, the people poured to the front, and Mr. Jones put his arms around Dr. Monk and gave him a good, old-fashioned camp-meeting hug. Last night Mr. Jones preached a soul •tlrring gospel sermon, in which there was no levity. The doctrines of grace, especially of the new birth, were dwelt upon and made as plain as the light. A great many have been converted dur ing these meetings and many backsliders have been reclaimed. -Run With Devil and Go to Hell.** CARTERS VILLE. Bept. Yesterday was the great day of the feast at the Tabernacle Its like has not been seen in a long time in Cartersville. In the mbmlng Dr. Monk preached a soul-stir ring sermon on "Fidelity." At its conclus ion Mr. Jones told the people to go home, taking the sermon with them. In the af ternoon Dr. Broughton preached on "A Life Hid In the Will of God." It was a burning appeal for a complete surrender to the will of God to be followed by a life of willing service. .». The feeling of the morning was inten sified and there was a suppressed excite ment above the congregation, like the smoldering of a volcano. But still no proposition was made, and •t the close of the service the congrega tion went away, people talking tn sub uued tones to each other as they left the building. And so it was that there was a kind of smothered feeling in the air when the night service opened. Men and women felt U. They realised that there must be an opening somewhere, or there would be sa explosion. After a preliminary ser vice of song and prayer Rev. Bam Jones, who was to preach, came to the front. He announced bis text. Psamims M. 8 and 9 verses: "Lord I have loved the habitation of thy bouse and the place where thine honor dwelleth. Gather not my soul with sinners nor my life with bloody men." In dealing with the latter part of the text Mr. Jones was at his best. All lev ity was laid aside and with uplifted hand and ringing voice he declared that there was no greater danger in this world than that of running with wicked men or bloody men. That was what the Psalmist prayed to be delivered from. "Hear me, boys; hear me, girls." he cried. "You can't run with the devil's gang without going to hell. If you run with a whisky drinking gang you'll drink whisky. If you run with an unclean gang you'!! be unclean, and if you run with a swearing gang you'll swear. It's as true as God. Our associates change our char acters. "Hear me! I've got a memory tonight. I can look back and call the names of ten boys with whom I used to run in this town. Six of them went leaping and bounding to hell before they were twenty one. As long as I went with that gang I disowned God. Now I tell you two boys will do a dirty trick twice as readily as one. four boys four times quicker and ten boys ten times quicker. Parkhurst never told a greater truth than when he said. *A crowd has no conscience.* "There was a mob. howling for the life of a miserable prisoner. Ths judge climb ed the steps of the Jail and said to the leader. 'Jim Johnson. I know you are brave and fearless—a braver man does not live. Tou can control these men. They are following you. Tell them to go home and i’ll give you the keys to the Jail and go in there with you and hold the light for you while you shoot the prisoner to death. Will you do it. Jimr And now Jim climbs up beside the judge and says. *1 wouldn’t kill that man by myself for ten thousand worlds, and I'm not go ing to kill him. Go to your homes, boys, and let the law take its course.' ” MEMORIAL SERVICES AT HOUR OF FUNERAL. CHICAGO. Bept. 14.-Bervices tn mem ory of President McKinley will be held In nearly every church in Chicago tomorrow. Memorial services will take the place of the thanksgiving services planned when hope was strong for the recovery of the wjunded man. SAM SMALL ARRIVES ANO WILL MIKE TOUR IN CAMPAIGN FOR LEGISLATIVE POSITIONS HE INTENDS BE ING VERY ACTIVE. Rev. Samuel W. Small has come to Georgia to serve ejectment proceedings upon the demon rum. He arrived Friday and will remain until he has made arrangements for his tour of the state. Mr. Small will not take part in the gub ernatorial race, as has been announced. He comes here for the purpose of aiding in the election of prohibition candidates to the legislature and senate and through them he hopes to make a dry state of Georgia. His first gun in the campaign will prob ably be fired in Atlanta. After that he will make sorties through the state, re turning to Atlanta every week. These are his present plans, although they are sub ject to change, as he has not consulted with the prohibition leaders and does not know exactly what they will require of him. "I have not come to Georgia to take part in the gubernatorial campaign," declared Mr. Small this morning. “I know that it makes no difference whether the governor of Georgia is a prohibitionist if there is no prohibition bill. Any governor of the state will approve a prohibition law if it is passed by the legislature, and it Is natural to presume any of the present candidates if elected will do so. I do not know Mr. Guerry and certainly shall not at this time take any part in his campaign. "The great fight will have to be made in the races for legislative and senatorial positions. If we can secure a dry house and a dry senate we will have prohibition in Georgia next year. "I have come to Georgia after receiving 75 letters from 63 counties of the state, in which my friends request me to come and help them tn electing prohibitionists to the state legislature. Onq or two of these letters are from Fulton county, and I shall therefore speak here. Os course I have no expectations of electing a pro hibitionist to the legislature from Fulton county, but I will speak here merely for the sake of watching the effect and show ing the boys what I can do. For the fame reason I shall also speak in Augusta. Ma con and Savannah. "I do not think it is right for the larger cities of Georgia to pour their slush into the dry counties, which have voted for prohibition, and which want prohibition, and I shall give my aid to protecting them. "I have arrived so recently that I have not had an opportunity to confer with the prohibition leaders, but I will do so with in a short time, and I will then probably be able to make public my Itinerary through the state. It is my Intention to make short trips through the counties of the state during the week and return to Atlanta on Sundays, if this arrangement can be satisfactorily made.” FAIR PROGRAM IS ANNOUNCED.

THE SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1901/ AT THE PRESIDENT’S BIER. If the president had fallen instantly dead from the assassin's blow the country could hardly have been more se verely shocked than it was by his decease after his recovery seemed so fully assured. Thursday night his fellow citixens went to sleep In the happy assurance that he had passed by the portals of death, which seemed a few days before to be open for his entrance, and had begun the ascent of the sunny slopes that led back to life. Wo all thought that his hurt was healing fast and that soon his hand would be strong enough to take hold on the helm again. • But we know not what an hour may bring forth, and as we reposed in our homes before which no spectre stalked the Angel of Death was descending to claim the Illustrious sufferer. It may be that the pitying God had heard the moan, "Oh, I am so tired!" that he had uttered so often, and sent His messenger to "Give His beloved sleep,” Now he lies dead in the city whither he went to speak patriotic words of congratulation and cheer on the occasion of a great triumph of the nation’s peace and prosperity, to join with multitudes In the celebration of conquests of the genius and patriotism of the great Republic that had called him twice to be its captain and had bestowed upon him an increasing measure of its confidence andlove. ■ « • It was the last of all places where he might have expected to meet his earthly doom, and when he sank beneath it •Then I and you and all of us fell down Whilst bloody treason flourished over us.” But even In this hour of the nation’s affliction we may look upon his pallid brow with a pride which exalts and sanctifies our sorrow, for we know it Is not whiter than was the heart that so lately gave it the thrill and glow of a buoyant and stainless life. We may find consolation in the knowledge that he did not live or strive in vain. In the meeting of the north and the south in equal anxiety about his bed of pain. In their clasped hands over his bier and their tears that mingled fall upon his face, we may read the moat glorious mtory of his triumphant life. To no man who has held the chief office of the union in more than half a century could the people of every section and state apply with an equal fullness and sincerity of meaning the title "Our President.” As they joined in respecting and loving him and trusting him tn life they will unite in honoring and mourning him in death. He brought them ’Closer together than they had ever been since the ppssions of sectional strife rose to bring distrust, then discord, then hate, and finally fierce and bloody war. The common grief over his untimely taking off binds hearts into still closer accord. They will stand together over his grave In their common faith In the endurance of the government he served with such complete devotion and in the blessed immortality of a soul so pure. They will cherish In equal love the memory of this just and great-hearted man. Though dead, he will continue to speak to them the lessons of forebear ance and fraternity which so often fell from his lips In life, which his own conduct so beautifully Illustrated and which sank so deep Into the lives of those to whom they were given. H IMMEDIATE TRIM. FOR THE ASSASSIN BUFFALO, Bept. 14.—The Commercial says: District Attorney Thomas Penny today took steps to bring Leon Cxolgosx the as sassin of President McKinley to an im mediate trial for that crime. On Monday Attorney Penny will present to the county court grand jury, now in ses sion. the evidence of the crime and there is not the slightest shadow of a doubt that Cxolgosx will be indicted for murder in the first degree. County Judge Edward K. Emery will immediately receive the report of that indictment from the grand jury. District Attorney Penny will at once move that the indictment be transferred to the su preme court for trial as capital offenses cannot be tried in the county court. Judge Emery will grant the desired order of transfer. Then Cxolgosx can be arraigned is not known that he will be arraigned on that day, but that is the earliest day upon which the prisoner can be brought before the court, as at present there is no session of the supreme court. On Sep tember 23. Justice White will convene the regular September term of part 3, of the supreme court, which part Is set aside for the trial of criminal cases. Should the murderer Inform the court that he has no counsel and that he has no money with which to employ one the court will be re quired to assign an attoreny to defend the prisoner upon the trial of the indictment for murder. District 'Attorney Penny is perfectly confident that Cxolgosx will be convicted of the crime of murder in the on indictment Monday. September 23. It first degree, that is, that the crime was deliberate and premeditated—and the pen alty for which under the laws of «ew York state is death by electrocution. District Attorney Penney will permit of no delay and the assassin will ba given a speedy trial by jury. Anarchists to Be Tried Tomorrow. CHICAGO Sept. 14.—Out of respect to the memory of William McKinley and to allow the police additional opportunity to investigate the case which is now of the most serious character, a recess to next Tuesday was ordered by Judge Chettlaln. Mr. Goettin, counsel for the anarch ists in the habeas corpus proceedings, made the motion for a recess when court opened. He said: Since the adjournment of court we have heard with deep regret that the president is dead. Upon a conference of counsel this morning in consideration, not only with respect to the dead, but out of justice to the living, this case should be postponed till Monday. We immedi ately stated our views to the prison ers, and they heartily endorse our posi tion. While the president lived they de sired their liberty, but now as he is dead, they say they are willing to remain where they are for forty-eight hours, and give tne public authorities ample opportunity to investigate and to determine whether they have any evidence against these pris oners and then we will desire a hearing both upon the law and upon the evidence and will ask their discharge.” Opposing counsel suggested that Tuesday be made the day for reconvening the court, and in this the judge concurred, stating that there was already a move on foot to close all the courts Monday out of respect to the memory of the nation’s dead chief. Assistant Prosecutor Owens stated to day that the death of the president brings a charge of a very serious nature against the anarchists. Had «he president lived the charge was a misdemeanor, but since he is dead, under ».ae laws of Illinois, if, it can be shown that they conspired to produce his death and aided and abet ted the murder, they are equally guilty with Cxolgosx. New Evidence Secured. CHICAGO, Sept. 14.—" This settles it,” said Chief of Police O’Neill when inform ed of the president’s death. "We Will hold every anarchist prisoner we have. No judge will release them and we will keep them so long as we choose. We have new evidence of a conspiracy now, but its details must be ferreted out. If we find one we will not be compelled to hunt for any of the prisoners we have now and who might have been released tomorrow. “Then, too. It Is best for them to remain where they are for a time at least. What would Emma Goldman’s life be worth on the streets? She could not live two minutes.” All.night long dense crowds packed the streets. There can be little doubt that had any of the Imprisoned anarchists been released on habeas corpus today they would have been slaughtered on sight. Goldman Does Not Regret Hie Death. CHICAGO, Sept. 14.—" Emma Goldman is still at Harrison street police station,” said Chief of Police O’Neill, when his at tention was directed to the story that she had been spirited away for tear of mob violence. "There Is no occasion for alarm and there Is no reason for her removal from her present quarters." Early this morning about 100 men start ed for the woman’s annex of the Harri son station loudly threatening to lynch Miss Goldman. Miss Emma Goldman was this morning In a comfortable room in the woman’s an next of the Harrison street police station. She was cynical and defiant. She remain ed where she has been confined since her arrest, and still has the liberty of the matron's office./ "Do you feel no sorrow today?” she was asked. "No!" she exclaimed In a harsh voice. "You read the account of how a crowd of people gathered In the street, prayed and sang hymns. Did you not feel sym pathy for their sorrow?" was asked. “They are Ignorant, deceived.” She snapped out the words and struck the paper In which she read the account with cllndhed fist. “I see no reason for regretting McKin ley’s death.” Buffalo in Mourning) Grief Is General. BUFFALO, Septi 14.—While crowds of people occupied every street of promi nence In the city this morning there wa» no demonstration. In fact, It looked like a holiday crowd and In some ways it par took of that nature, for the thousands of visitors who had come to the Pan-Ameri can exposition, barred out because of Its closing, wandered about the streeta Near the jail, where Cxolgosx, the as sassin, Is confined, there was hardly a handful of people and there was no par ticular guard of police. In fact, the grief was general. , The crowd seemed to have two objective points, however, one the house where the president lies dead, and the other the station at which President Roosevelt will arrive. After watching the decorators cover the fronts of the big buildings along Main street with emblems of mourning the crowd dispersed and went two ways. At both places the police were out in fore? and the nearest view of the public of Milburn house was at a distance of about four city blocks. From a gala Appearance In honor of the Pan-Amerlcaq exposition and the dis tinguished dead; the city has been trans formed into w huge scene of mourning. Flags of all kinds are at half-mast and black hangs from the flag masts and cor nices. August* Banks In Good Shape. AUGUSTA, Sept. 13.—Robert E. Park, treasurer of Georgia, is here making an examination of the banks. Thus far he has examined three banks and says they are In good condition.

His Visits, although not frequent, are always pleasant and his friends are al ways glad to see him. BPORTB CALLED OFF ON ACCOUNT OF DEATH. NEW YORK, Sept. 14.—The Automobile club of America announced today that on account of the death of President McKin ley the program of sports arranged for next week at the Pan-American exposi tion and the Buffalo-Erie road race have been cancelled.

Talk this subject over with your friends and see how many among you can win prixes. It Is a good, honest competition and in the best kind of a cause. .

COLON, Colombia, Sept. 14.—The Alex andre Bixlo has arrived at Colon.

WAS MANUFACTURER BUT WENT ON STRIKE ONLY EMPLOYED HIMSELF, AND WALKED OUT WHEN STRIKE WAS ORDERED. u TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 14.—When Joaquin Menendez, cigar manufacturer, grants th* demands of Joaquin Menendez, cigarma ker. the factory owned by the former will resume work. When It is taken Into consideration that Joaquin Menendez, the manufacturer, and Joaquin Menendez, the cigarmaker are one and the same, the most peuculr of all the freak strikes in this city Is shown to the public. The cigarmaker makes demands of himself, that as a man ufacturer he will not grant, and conse quently there is a strike and cessation of business. About one year ago Menendez became weary of making cigars for other people and opened a factory of his own. He was a member of Reslstencla organisation and consequently kept his membership and began manufacturing, doing his own work. He has never employed any one in his factory and worked along making cigars enough to supply his small trade and living easy. Six weeks ago when Resietent-Ya Issued its strike order, as a cigarmaker, Menen dez promptly laid down his knife and walked out of the factory. As a cigar manufactrer he closed the doors of his place, rendered his account to the Internal revenue office and business stopped. It is one of the most unique of all the strikes which have ever been perpetrated by Reslstencla In this city, and the recent list showed a number of freaks In thia line. The members and leaders of Reslstencla have so far heard nothing from Angel Rodrigues, who disappeared so mysteri ously Wednesday while walking in th* streets, bound for the postofflee. Rodri gues had learned the secret of liberating the money belonging to Reslstencla, and which Is tied up In the banks, and henco it was time for him to disappear. H<> has left no address, but it Is believed that by and by when he "lights" somewhere, he will send a letter telling how it all hap pened. Yesterday morning a soup-house, on Fortune street, was the scene of quite a commotion. An Italian woman appears! at the house and presented her bucket, which was filled with soup. The attend ant then proceeded to throw the content* In the woman’s face. Her husband was a "selector" belonging to Reslstencla. Monday morning he be came tired of the idleness and secured a position in a factory which was working. He was waited upon by a committee and told that if he went back to work Wed nesday morning he would be whipped to death. He started for the factory Wed nesday morning, regardless of the threats, but was surrounded by a mob which pre vented him from resuming his work. While he wa* being held in this manner, his wife went to the soup-house for the usual allowance and was treated as told. The matter Is being Investigated and those who Intimidated the man will be attended by the committee of Americans. who have undertaken to regulate things here. Plans have been prepared by the man ufacturer* whereby the factories are to be thrown open Monday morning. Thia is mainly for the purpose of allowing ap prentices to begin work, but of course It Is known that others will also enter the houses. Reslstencla has a committee out now warning all their members that If they enter the facterie* they will be dealt with in a manner which will pre vent them from working anywhere again. In other words, they are plainly threat ened with death. Plan* have been formulated by the or ganization to establish a line of picket* along every street leading tb the facto ries and do all in their power to keep the men from returning to work and they will again threaten them with death as they pass along toward the factories. The citizen* have guaranteed all those who desire to return to work that they will be amply protected. A full force of deputy sheriffs will be on hand Monday mornihg to attend to the picket* and if many of them are tn sight there may be some more disappearances. The people here have acted in a manner which plain ly says that they will brook no inter ference and there has been none mani fested so far from any source. It might be mentioned that the investigation al leged to have been ordered by the officials at Washington have not availed and noth ing haa been heard from it. RURAITeITvERY IN GEORGIA. WASHINGTON.
