TALK FROM SAM JOSES.
THE GREAT GEORGIA REVIVALIST
STILL ON DECK.
Say* H© Crawled Out From Under th©
Dogs Nineteen Year* Ago—He Think* the
Farmer*' Alliance Will Never Get There.
Laughter and Applau*©.
/ Sam Jones, the Goorgia revivalist, is
not annihilated by any means, as some
folks imagine. In the language of Sam
Small, Sam Jones continues to he “a
holy terror to evil doers.” Here Is his
last sermon, according to the New York
Sun, delivered last Sunday at Staten
Island:
It was 3:30 o’clock when Sam Jonos
swung himself to tho front of the plat
form and began his sermon. His text
was, "For God so loved tho world that
He gave Ills only begotten Son that who
soever belleveth In Him should not
perish, but have ovcrlastlng life.”
Among other things he said:
“The fashionable minister is without
sympathy. He says to tho members of
his congregation, ‘If you believe as I bo-
lieve, you will be saved; if you don’tyou
will be damned; and I don’t care much
which,’ There is many a man that takes
a disordered liver for a pure heart. It
makes me sad to hear a man say he’s an
Infidel. I’d rather ho tho lowest down
chaingang nigger, or wbito man in a
penitentiary for stealing than bo an
open, avowed infidel. I’d even rather
be the lowest Wall street thief than an
infidel. Old Bob Ingersoll can make his
$200 and $300 a night out of it, but I
never did understand one of these little
fools that will chase around alter him
and pay $1 to hear him speak and board
themselves. I’m as full of faults as any
mau, but when I get home my dog Hero
greets me by wagging his tail and lick
ing my hands. He is glad to sco me
back, and ho loves me. Why ? Be
cause I treat him kindly. Think how
good God has been to you, and yet you
don’t love him in return.
"Now, listen to me, you great big sin
ners back there. You are lower thau a
dog. Get out from under the dogs and
be a man. I crawled out from under
the dogs nineteen years ago, and I said,
‘Good-bye dogs.’ I did a good thing for
myself. It reminds mo of that old
question ‘Are you married, or aro you a
dog?’ I say arc you a Christian or are
you a dog? When a fellow’s plumb
down and yon ask him what he wants,
he says ‘help.’ That word means every
thing. I know as well as I know that
I’m living that I never can make the
sort of a husband that I want my wife to
have, unless God helps me.
"When you pray God to help you,
there should be the pledge in return:
•I’ll help you. I’ll help you. I’ll help
you by working, voting and sinking my
last dollar to get whisky out of the
country.’
"I was addressing a largo meoting
down in Mississippi tho other day, and
there were a lot of farmers’ alliance
men present. I said to thorn: ‘You
never will got there. Every timo tho
democrats and tho republicans act the
rascal toward you, you play tho fool.’
I say the same to tho prohibitionist.
There Is only one way to get whisky ort
of tho country, and that is to voto it
out. There aro thousands of 304-day
prohibitionists in New York; but on
the 305th day, which is olectlon day,
they don’t show up. I’m a prohibition
ist every day; and if there is only one
prohibition vote cast in 1S92, you can
say Sam Jones is voting. And if I’m
alive fifty years from now, and thero is
only one prohibition voto cast, yon can
say ‘That’s Jonos voting still.’
“When I die, thank God, I won’t have
to change my politics. I'm a concentra
ted, consolidated, double-dyed prohibi
tionist, now and forovor.
“I don’t boliovo in towing tho good
ship Eton ton miles out from shore and
then standing ou deck and shouting,
’Say, all you sinners on shore that can
swim, como aboard.’ I boliovo in sym
pathy and help, and In running the good
ship right up to the shore and helping
aboard the men who can’t swim. That’s
my Christianity. If ever a collego jumps
on mo and tries to doctor my divinity,
I’ll sue ’em for damages. There’s noth
ing tho matter with my divinity. It’s all
right. Thero ore the D. D.’s. What
docs that mean? II it stands for Devil
Driver, then I’m your man. If it stands
for Devil’s Dues, then I’m out. If it’s
Dovil Driver, tbeu give us more D. D.’s.
“Wo want a lovo that is sympathetic.
There was the old Christian who was sit
ting by the roadside eating his dinnor
from a pail. Along camo a dirty old
tramp and said, ‘Give mo something to
eat; I'm starving.’ Tho old Christian
cut from tho top of his loaf of bread a
very thin slice and gave it to the tramp,
saying, ‘Our Father in heaven, bless this
bread.’
“ ‘Did you say our Father?’ asked the
tramp.
“ ‘Yes,’ said tho Christian.
“ ‘Then if it’s our Father,’ replied the
tramp, ‘we are brothers, and you cut mo
a thicker slice of that bread, quick.’
“After I was pardoned and crawled
out from under tho dogs I felt real good.
Then I said to myself. 'Here you'll die
and get into Heaven, but you’ll have to
stay in the back alloys. You can’t come
up on the front streets and in the best
places.’ Then I began to see what God’s
love really meant, and I knew that I
could."
Sam Jones sat on one of tho upper
piazzas of the Prohibition Park Hotel
after his sermon and swung his black
broad-brim felt hat and talked.
“What is tho alliance doing in tho
south ?” asked one of the group around
him.
“My sympathies are with tho alliance,”
said Sam Jones, “but it is not going to
work in the right way. At present it is
simply a protest against the existing
state of affairs, just as the labor unions
arc protests.”
"Is there any political significance to
this series of prohibition meetings ?”
“Not at present. We aro not here to
talk politics. We are talking prohibi
tion. If we aro going to accomplish
anything permanent we must enter
politics, howover. Everybody knows
that wo can do nothing with the repub
lican or democratic party on tho lines of
prohibition. Tholr candidates are select
ed with an eye to the liquor voto. Our
only hopo is to stick together and voto
for our principles.”
Pensive and Expensive.
Many a woman shrinks from consult
ing a physician about functional do-
rangements and weakness, and prefers
to suffer in silvneo. She is sad ami pen
sive, and her neglect of her ailments
will prove expensive. It may cost her
her life. Ono of the most skillful phy
sicians of tho day, who lias had a vast
oxpcricnco iu curing diseases peculiar to
women, lias prepared a remedy which is
of inestimable aid to tliflm. We refer to
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, the
only remedy for women's peculiar weak
nesses and ailments, sold by druggists
under a positive guarantee from the
manufacturers, that it will give satisfac
tion in every case, or monoy refunded.
No sane man would prolong his life
forever, but at tho samo time he would
rather die to-morrow than to-day.
Not a Miracle, Now.
Until rccontly consumption was con
sidered incurable, but now peoplo are
beginning to realizo that the disease is
not incurable. Tho euro of consumption
is not a miracle, now. Dr. Pierce’s Gol
den Medical Discovery will cure it, if
taken in time and given a fair trial. The
world-renowned remedy will not mako
new lungs, but it will restoro diseased
ones to a healthy state when other means
have failed. Thousands gratofully tes
tify to this. It is the most potont tonic
or strength restorer, alterative, or blood
cleanser and nutritive, or llcsh builder,
known to medical scieuco. For weak
lungs, spitting of blood, “livor com-
laint,” and dyspepsia, or indigestion, It
an uncqtialed remedy.
Beauty is the first gift nature gives to
woman and the first she takes from her.
Have we any truly great men at the
present day? .Some doubt it, and ask to
ho shown the modern Washington,
Franklin or Webster. However this
may be, of one thing we are sure, there
nover was a greater blood purifier than
Ayers' Sarsaparilla.
Half of the world doesn’t want the
other half to know how it lives.
“THE ALHAMBRA”
NO LONGER THE NAME OF OUR NEW
HOTEL.
A New Name to be Chosen—Everybody Can
Brinjf Forward a Favorite Name— Some
thing Unique, and Appropriate, and
Beautiful Wanted.
The board of directors of the Ameri
cus Manufacturing and Improvement
Company has voted to chango tho name
of Americus’ great hostclrie.
Tho roason for this is that tho name
solectod some time ago does not strike a
popular chord, and does not satisfy fully
tno tasteB of the gentlemen who adopted
it. While tho name “Alhambra” was
originally one wholly appropriate, by
reason of its beauty and historical asso
ciations, for the name of an elegant
hotel, it is well understood that of late
this name has been adopted by places of
“llash” or “sliady” reputations, espe
cially in tho United States, and now, by
reason of such association, has become
somewhat "loud” and hardly suitablo
for an elegaat and first-class hotel.
After carefully considering it for some
time, tho board, at its last meeting,
unanimously concluded to drop tho
name of "Tho Alhambra;” and their
action will no doubt meet tho approval
of tho public, whether pecuniarily in
terested as stockholders or otherwise.
The board lias not, however, dono any
thing towards the selection of another
name beyond an informal discussion,
during which various suggestions were
made; among which were those o f having
the stockholders to voto by shares;
leaving tho selection of a new name to
the ladies; letting a eommittco of the
board decide on it; taking a popular voto
of the city, etc., etc.
The board of directors is now open to
suggestions from any quarter;' and will
act carefully and with duo consideration,
being determined that when the name is
finally selected it will be the very best
that tile consensus of the competent can
devise.
It will be remembered that before the
name was selected Tue Times-Rkcordeb
quoted quite a number of suggestions
from various citizens; and as the sugges
tions then mado virtually cover the
ground, it is hardly too much to say that
from among the names heretofore
mentioned in The Times-Recoiider, a
selection is very likely to bo made.
Everybody who over tried it knows
how hard it is to name a baby, even
when there aro only a few persons to bo
pleased; and tho board has no easy task
in naming the Americus baby; for scores
of persons are interested; and the board
wants to select a name as nearly satis
factory as possible to everybody whose
interest in the property, or good judg
ment in matters of nomenclature, are
entitled to consideration. While tho
board is not “advertising for bids,” it
might not be out of order for the public
to make suggestions in a modest spirit;
and to all such tho columns of The
Times-Recordei: aro open. Let’s hear
from the public; it will give us all some
thing to talk about for the next few
days, and somebody might stumble
upon a happy hit that will be just what
the board is looking for.
Much injury is dono by the use of ir
ritating, griping compounds taken as
purgatives. In Ayer’s pills, tho pallont
has a mild but eiTeotivo cathartic, that
can be confidently recommended alike
for tho most delicato patients, as well as
the most robust.
