SAM JONES IN SAVANNAH
He Ope flS up in a Quiet Way, But
Keep A’Listening.
Rev Sam Jones, after much
anxietv and sinking pains among
some folks in Savannah, has com
menced his meeting there It was
expected that he would go to
throwing his caustic bombshells
into the Savannah folks right from
the jump. The feeling among his
friends and his opposers, was at
white heat; a paper was decided
to be printed every day during the
tneetin" to fight back at the rev
erend gentleman. Scraps were
expected to figure in the proceed
ings of the meetings. But it
seems Mr. Jones opened up in
mild doses, according to the
Savannah correspondent of the
Atlanta correspondent who wires
his paper as follows.
“Savannah, Ga., May 14. —
(Special.) —Sam Jones continues
mild. He has thus far said nothing
to grate upon the sensibilities of
those who have been expecting
expressions from him they regard
as unfit for utterance from the
pulpit. They can scarcely under
stand it, it seems, as they thought
that he would have poured hot
shot from the start into the evils
in Savannah which he came with
the intention announced of driving
out. Mr, Jones preached this morn
ing: at the tabernacle to about 1,000
people, most of whom were
ladies. The afternoon service was
conducted by Rev. George Stuart,
while Mr. Jones held forth again
at night. He preached to almost
as large an audience as the night
before, but there was even less
about his sermon that smacked of
Jones. Hard, sound doctrine and
gospel have thus far marked his
discourses, and if he keeps up the
pace he has set there is nothing
likely to develop that will set the
city on fire in the style that was
expected.'”
Mr. Jones arrived in Cartersville
Wednesday morning, having been
ailed to the bedside ot Mrs. Jones.
She had been ill for several days
and was expecting to leave for
Savannah Tuesday afternoon, but
she grew worse and Mr. Jones
was telegraphed for to come home.
He came and returned Wednesday
night.
To Cartersville friends he express
ed much gratification at the way
the Savannah meeting started.
He says some of the best
men of the town are with
him, mentioning Judge Robert
Falligant as a friend of the meet
ing.
The calm betokens the storm,
however, of what is to come, and
a Sam Jones ot a time can be truly
expected that will prevail from
Yamacraw even into Tybee lights.
Sam Jones hates a dull time.

DECORATION DAY.
A Splendid Crowd and Most In
teresting Exercises.
The annual exercises, held last
Saturday afternoon at the graves
of the confederate dead at Cass
ville was a great occasion. The
crowd was large, greatiy gratify
ing the comrades of the brave men
whose remains rest in these name
less graves.
The address was exceptionally
good. The orator added to his
already splendid reputation, and
the memorial association are to be
congratulated upon the happy
selection of J. Q. Nolan, of Mc-
Donough, Ga., for this loving ser
vice. Many nice things cotild be
said of this address, but time and
space forbid.
Shorty before three o’clock the
veterans from the Cartersville and
Adairsville camps, and there was
a good*y number of them present,
formed near the speaker’s stand
and mrrehing up, took the places
assigned them. Promptly at the
hour of three Wm. A. Chunn an
nounced the program for the occa
sion. Rev. A. H. Rice offered
prayer, following which Dr. R. B.
Harris in a few well chosen words,
introduced the speaker. The ad
dress concludeo, Jno. W. Akin, in
his usual happy style, entertained
the audience with earnest, timely
remark befitting the awarding of
crosses of honor to several mem
bers of the Adairsville camp.
Following this the usual collect
ion was asked for to assist the
good women ot the memorial asso
ciation in their labor of love in
caring for these graves And
then by loving hands, the graves
were strewn with flowers.
The Bartow Guards, the splen
did military organization of Car
tersville, in charge of Capt. Mil
ner, was present as guard of honor.
In their bright new uniforms they
made a fine appearance. In thus
honoring the dead and the occa
sion fHeir presence was apprecia
ted.
We arc glad these memories are
kept aiive and these graves green.
N E ARLY EXH AUSTE D
Is the Last Aporopriation for Free
Rural Delivery Mail Service.
Washington, D. C., May 12. —
Computations made at the postof
fice department the other day
disclose the fact that the generous
allowance for lural free delivery
during the next fiscal year, $3,500,
000, is already nearly exhausted.
In consequence the department
must cease planning further exten
sions of the system until either
the appropriation for the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1902, shall
become available, or congress
shall vote an increased allowance
for the year beginning next July.
There are now on file a sufficient
number of applications to exhaust
about $1,000,000 more than the
appropriation.
The whole number of rural
routes now T in operation is about
3,000, each of which costs annually
between SSOO and SI,OOO. lo con
tinue these routes next year will
cost something, therefore, over
$2,000,000. Approximately 500
routes are already ordered estab
lished by July 1, making an in
crease in cost of about $400,000.
Additional clerical allowances in
the department salaries for in
spectors, and their per diem al
lowances, the purchase of equip
ment and other expenses inciden
tal to the operation of so large a
business, have already eaten a
great hole in the $1,000,000 balance
above the items indicated. If half
the petitions for rural free delivery
now on file should be granted the
whole appropriation would be
more than exhausted.
No official statement to this
effect has been prepared and none
is likelv to be made until the post
master general shall have returned
from his tour with the President.
It is very likelv Mr. Smith will
issue a general announcement that
the department qannot now con
template further expansion of its
rural free delivery service with its
present financial resources.

THE NEWS.
A CARTERSVILLE CASE.
Carried to the Supreme Court
Creates Comment.
Atlanta Constitution, 11th inst.
One of the most unusual cases
filed in the supreme court recently
reached that court yesterday. It
is. in effect, an appeal in a crimi
nal case by the state’s counsel,
though it is in the shape of a cross
bill, the defendant also having ap
pealed from the decision of the
lower court.
W. H. Eaves was convicted in
the city court at Cartersville of the
offense of selling liquor without a
license, a misdemeanor. He made
a motion for anew trial through
his counsel, Judge J. M. Neel, of
Carterville. Solicitor Gen. Sam
P. Maddox made a motion for new
trial.
The court refused to dismiss
the motion for new trial, and also
declined to grant the defendant a
new trial. Eaves took the case
to the supreme court, appealing
from the decision refusing him a
-tew tri il. Solicitor General Mad
dox has also filed a cross-bill in
the supreme court accepting to the
court’s decision in refusing to dis
miss the motion for anew trial.
This case presents somewhat 01
new question to the supreme court.
The court has held time and again
that the state cannot appeal in
criminal cases, yet the cross-bill
filed by the state’s counsel looks
very much like such an appeal,
though ic presents the case in a
somewhat different light.
A dismissal of the defendant’s
motion for new trial would have
deprived him of the right to ap
peal to supreme court. The ap
peal by the state, therefore, even
on the cross-bill, seems equivalent
almost to a direct appeal,
which in criminal cases has been
prohibited.
The decision of the supreme
court under the circumstances will
be awaited with very general in
terest.
BISHOP H. M. TURNER.
He Will Preach in Cartetsville
Next Sunday.
Bishop H. M. Turner, the ablest
of southern colored preachers, will
be in Cartersville next Sunday and
preach at the Sam Jones Taber
nacle at 11 in the morning and 3
in the afternoon.
Bishop Turner is a great orator
and those attending will hear some
thing good. He is the leader in the
idea of separating the white and
black races and has for years been
agitating the idea of colonizing
the colored people in Africa. He
advances many good reasons for
this and may possibly touch upon
this subject while here. Rev. A. J.
Wilkerson, thepastor of the color
ed Methodist church, cordially in
vites the white people in the card
below.
Editor <7 The News:
Please publish in the columns of
your paper that Bishop Turner
will preach at the tabernacle, Sun
day, May 19, 1901. 11 a. m. and

ROBBED AGAIN.
| Frank Meadows Suffers a Fifteen
Dollar Loss.
It has been only a short while
ago that Frank Meadows, the bar
ber, was held up by robbers and
relieved of some thirty odd dol
lars. It will be remembered that
upon this occasion that he was
held up while going home late one
Saturday night several weeks
ago, robbed and marched two and
a half miles to the bridge
that spans the Etowah river and
turned loose.
Saturday night Meadows quit
work with about sls cash on hand,
which lu placed in one of the
drawers of his outfit a n d locked i;
up. He has, since he was wav
laid, refrained from carrying his
receipts about him.
Monday morning his place of
business was op:ned up by his
shoe black ar and the drawers were
found all opened, as if some one
had given them a general rifling.
The money had been taken and up
to date no clue has been found.
Meadows seems to be natural
prey for robbers, and the question
as t. how he is going to keep his
money f om them is bothering his
mind.

Mr. Corley received his sample
trunks last week and displayed the
contents in the vacant store room
next to the National Bank, and
were looked over by some of our
merchants.
A Newsman had the privilege of
looking at the samples and was
struck with the superior quality,
handsomeness of style and superb
makeup. A more beautiful line
of samples was never spread be
fore our merchants. A good house

line of goods and build up a hand
some trade among those that de
sire good looks along with superior
quality.
Mr. Corley left Tuesday on his
regular trip, looking out for his fall

A NARROW ESCAPE.
A Young Man Tackles a Saw Mill
and Then Lives.
News has just reached Carters
vilie of a very narrow escape made
several days ago ol a young \ hire
man by the name of Coleman, who
with his brother, operates a saw
mill near High Shoals church,
over in Paulding county, between
Cartersville and Dallas. The
young man was working near the
“feed” end of the mill when his
right arm was caught in the ma
chinery thereof and he fell
with his face on a rapidly revolv
ing line of shafting, the set crews
of which did fearful work upon
his face and shoulders. It was
some time before the machinery
could be stopped and released.
The right side of his face was
almost stripped of flesh by the
rough corners of the large set
screws, breaking a large piece of
his cheekbone out. His right
shoulder was thrown upon the
thafting in pulling his face away
and it was terribly lacerated.
The young man was under the
attention of a surgeon for three
hours, in sewing and Dlastering
him up, and strange to say he
pluckily went to work alter a week
although in a fearfully lacerated
condition.

SAD DEATH.
Mrs. J. R. Harling, o f Kingston,
Died After Operation.
t
The community was shocked
Wednesday morning wheu the
news was. Hashed over the wires
that Mrs. J R. Harling, of King
ston, had died at 3 o’clock that
morning in Rome, at the sanitar
ium of Dr. Heurv Hattey, whith
er Bhe had gone a few dayß ago to
undergo a uangerous surgical op
eration.
Mrs. Darling was a daughter of
Sheriff and Mrs. R. L. Griffin, of
Cartersvi!ie, and they were with
tier for several days prior and up
to the time of her sad passing
away.
It will be remembered that
about a year ago this lady’s life
hung as by a thread for weeks,
after a delecate operation had been
performed. She however, was
nursed buck into better heaith,
which was never real good up to
last week, wheu it was decided to
perform another operation, whuh
was done last Sunday, from the
effects of which she died Wednes
day morning.
Her remains were brought to
Ciiter>ville Wednesday morning,
after a short service was held at
the G iffiu residence, liov Mr.
B taler officiating, they were carried
to Enhrtrlee for interment. R-v.
Mr. Dyer, of Kingston, t fficiaied
at the grave.
The deceased was a most lovable
young woman, 26 years of age, and
had many friends and aomir9rs
who are saddened at her untimely
end. She was married to Air. J. R,
Harling a little over two years a£o
and as far as sweet temper and
disposition went was an excellent
wife, bearing her burdens of ill
health with sublime resignation,
1 ever murmuring.
To the grief-stricken husband,
parents, brothers and sisters there
goes out from the hearts of their
friends a most genuine sympathy.
The parole of the Younger
brothers from the Minnesota pen
itentiary is said to have been
brought about through the instru
mentality of Senator Stephen B.
Eukins of West Virginia. The
Youngers and Frank and Jesse
James were members of Ouantrell’s
guerillas during the war. Elkins
was in the union army. The Youn
gers and Jameses knew Elkins per
sonally. During one of Quantrell.s
raids young Elkins was captured,
and ordered taken to the rear.
While being carried back the
Youngers and Jameses contrived
to get him into their custody, and
arranged for his escape. Elkins is
said to have remembered the in
cide't gratefully, and to have
befriendtd the men later when
they got into trouble. For some
time, it is said, he has been work
ing in the interest of the Youn
gers.
