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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
