JONES ON POLITICS.
REV. SAM P. DELIVERS A
RED HOT SERMON
A CHARACTERISTIC DISCUSSION
Listened to by a Multitude Number
lug About Six Thousand at His
Tabernacle in Cartersville.
From the Atlanta Journal.]
Sain .Jones “shelled the woods” yes
terday morning. lie was at his best,
and the manner in which he bandied
politicians, cigarette smokers, pistol
“toters,” blind tigers, gad-abouts and
preachers proved thoroughly interest
iug to the immense congregation assem
bled in the tabernacle.
He never spoke more plainly or di
rectly in bis life and that means that
he went at them without gloves and
scored a clean knock out. The sermon
occupied nearly two hours time, and
there was not a dull sentence io it. The
congregation was kept laughing almost
from beginning to eud.
The crowd in Cartersville yesterday
was without doubt the largest ever en
tertained by that hospitable little city.
A long train from Atlanta carried near
ly one thousand people. The traius
from Rome, Kingston and places above
Cartersville swelled the number to two
thousand. The East and West road
brought them as far as Pell City, Ala
bama, while from the country round
about the people poured iu ali the
morning, coming in carriages and
wagons.
After the sermon in the morning the
tabernacle grounds presented an inter
esting sight. Hundreds of buggies,
wagons, horses and mules were scat
tered over the knoll near by. The re
freshment stands were doing a thriving
business. Here and there on the grass
were picnics spread, and everywhere
people young and old discussing the
red-hot sermon they had just heard.
It is estimated that between six and
eight thousand people were present, and
heard the sermon. The tabernacle was
packed, and many who could not get
inside, found seats beneath the trees
and heard the sermon from the outside.
THE TEXT WAS FROM KINGS.
The sermon was on “Manhood,” and
the text was taken from the second
chapter of Kings, first and second
verses:
“Now, the days of David drew nigh
that he should die; and he charged
Soiomou, his son, saying:
“I go the way of all the earth, be
thou strong, therefore, and show thy
self a man.”
SAM ON POLITICIANS.
The most interesting part of the ser
mon dealt with politics and politicians.
By way of an introduction to the
subject he said :
IT WAS PRACTICAL.
“1 propose to enter into a practical
discussion of this question and I’m go
iug to “hew to the line let the chips
fall where they may.” It’s Sam Jones’
business to hew to the line aud your
business to look out for the chips. If
you get hit, it is uot because I am mad
with you, but because you are on the
line, you fool. You little lice, yoo,
i’m incapable of entertaining any peak
or spite against a little thing like you.
I’m going to talk manhood. Then he
waded in.
He spoke of the towering strength
of a good character and said :
IIF. STRIKES POLITICS.
It’s the same way in the political
world. If a man has a good character
he is invulnerable, but if there is the
slightest stain resting on him he had
better look out. He will catch it.
Somebody says Sam Jones is getting
into politics. As I said in my letter to
the Journal yesterday, I’m ju3t as liable
to go into the bunco business as to go
into politics. No candidate could get
Sara Jones to make a speech for him
for a million dollars, but I'll tell my
children to vote for the candidate who
has the strongest character, who is a
man.
You nomiuate my daddy for sheriff,
or my brother for governor, or my
uncle for the legislature and if he's a
scoundrel I’ll till the people that 1
think he is. I'll never vote for any
fellow and then tell my boy to keep out
of the coropauy of that damnable
scoundrel. 1 don't care about parties.
I don’t care whether a candidate is a
demijobnicrat or a republican or a third
partyite, just so he’s a good honest
; man. You holler hurrah for Democ
racy. You blear eyed fool, you
wouldn’t know the principles of the
democratic party if you saw ’em cora-

iug down the road with a red flag tied
to them.
lil ts THE THIRD I’ARTVXTES.
You third party people have gone up
north aud picked out as your candidate
for president a mau who said a few
years ago that the last one of you
ought to be shot. Listen to me. I’ll
say something and you can call me
a traitor or a fool, or anything you
want to, but I think more of the sohri
etv of my boy than Ido of any polit
ical party in America. If saying that
proves me a traitor, put mo down as the
biggest traitor since the days of Bene
diet Arnold. I’ll never vote for any
man, no matter what his politics are,
unless I can say to my boys, there is a
grand man. The man that will vote
for a dirty, damnable scoundrel is no
better than the dirty, damnable scoun
drel he votes for.”
THE WISH EE-WASH EE MAN.
When you show me a mau that is
stiong in character, a man strong with
God and his fellow man, a man sober,
truthful and honest—that’s the man
I’ll vote for. Show me a wishee-washee
mau, aud I’ll show you a man that’s
go. no strength of character. I never
saw a man of decision who wasn’t a
power in the laLd. The church is
troubled like political parties with these
little fellows who sorter decide that
they’re a Baptist then think they are a
Methodist and then a Presbyterian
They are first like the fellow who de
cided he was a democrat and then
joined the third party.
They jump about from pillar to post
until they’ll soon he like the dog in
the expicss car that gnawed off his tag
—tiny won’t know where they belong.
Twenty years ago l decided that 1
would be a Methodist miuister, aud to
day I’m the same sallow-faced little fel
low I was. (iod took me up aud made
me a Methodist. I have preached in
some states wheu I expected to he shot
iu the pulpit, when I expected to
hear the crack of a pistol at any time ;
for I’d rather be a dead lion than all
the live dogs in Cartersville.”
they’ll have a relapse.
“If there’s anything I do like its the
fellow that’s come to stay. I never
changed my politics hut once, I was
born and raised a Democrat, but I’m
well of the disease. It’s a terrible dis
ease, but I’ve recovered. You third
party fellows think you’re getting well,
but you aiu’t. You are only convales
cing, and you’re going to have a re
lapse.”
THE LITTLE PREACHER.
1 like a man with courage. These
little cowardly preachers, these littlo
parapatetic fellows who wink at mean
ness, say that they want to keep on
good terms with their membership. I
don’t know but one or two preachers
who are doing their duty this year, and
siielliug the woods iu the right sort of
fashion. There’s Sam Steele, iu Nash
ville, and Chatham in Petersburg, and
Wadsworth in Augusta, and Dixon in
New York, aud Dr. Parkburst, but
they’re all.
SET THE DOGS ON ’EM,
The little brother says he’s leading
his flock, but they’re going the other
way. “Brother Jones,” he says, ‘ I
believe iu moral suasion.” You can’t
toll a hog out of a corn field, but set the
dogs on him. Yonder lie comes. This
little preacher’s trying to toll hogs out
of the field. Sam Jones has the dogs
on ’em and they’re coming a tilting.
“Moral suasion.” He ain’t got any
sense. His trouble is over bis eyes.
You can’t do anything with him. He’s
forgotten how to spank his children.
sam’s politics.
“You third party fellows are clever
enough. You may get to heaven, but
you’ll never get to Washington. I’ll
tell you my platform and then you can
guess my politics. I’m for everything
that’s against whisky and against ev
erything that’s fur whisky. Now you
know me. I’m a concentrated, con
solidated, eternal, uucompromisiag, ev
er-day-m-the-year, ready-to-be-knock

ist.’’
he’s for drover.
When any party under the sun nom
inates a good, upright man I’ll vote for
bim. If I knew my vote would elect
old Grover Cleveland, he’d be the
next president. I believe he’s the
best president this country ever had,
and that’s what makes me say what I
say.
You may say, “Brother Jones, you’re
making a iegular political stump
speech.” I'm like Johu Billings’ mule
—when you go to preach my funueral,
you’d better stand at my head when
you’re at it.
“You old democrats don’t see:'u to
like what I say. You third party fel-
lows hold your noses. I never got the
stiuk. old fellow. I’m going to preach
the truth, and if you can convince me
that it ain’t the truth I’ll take it all
back.
THE PISTOL “TOTEK.”
After touching up blind tigers and
cigarette smokers in his usually vigor
ous style, he jumped on the pistol
“toter.”
“I’d rather keep a pole cat in my
pocket,” said he, “than a pistol. You
miserable little pukes, some time a
pistol will go off in your pocket and
kill you.”
ON DOMESTIC RELATIONS.
Sam next fell afoul of domestic affairs
in red-hot fashion.
“The man who thinks his wife is
loosing her charms,” he said, “is up to
some devilment. Hear me. You find me
a woman who thiuks any other mail is
prettiei thau her liusban, and she’s gel
ling on the devil’s ground. Love should
be blind. If your husband is uglier
than a mud fence, you must think lie’s
the prettiest thing in tbe world.
You men that go uptown at night say
you’re going to post your books. Y’ou
hound, you, you leave your wife at
home with a baby on her knee singing
‘Hiish-a-bnhy limiting
Papa gone a hunting,”
and you have gone a burning, too, you
low down dog you. One fellow’s wife
got one of these pedometers, and when
he had been posting liiii books she pul
led it out of his pocket, where she had
put it to catch him, and found that lie
had walked seventeen miles. Y’ou get
a little pedometer, sister, and you’ll
tree him.”
Mr. Jones spoke for nearly two
hours, and his congretion was kept
thoroughly awake. At times his re
marks were greeted by bursts of hmg
and again by loud “amens.”

The Southern Alliance Farmer
seems to have degenerated into a medi
um through which anarchists publish
their destructive teachings. This is
deplorable when it is remembered that
there are some people Gho. will not
lead any other paper.
In an article contributed by a Mrs.
J. G. Goodwin is this language :
“What is an anarchists ? It is one
who resists oppression. Washington
was an anarchists to King George’s
governtment, aud the workingmen who
to-day rebel against the government of
capital are in the same category.”
Reader, it is time for eve-y one to
stop and tliiuk. Spies and Parsons in
the same category with Washington !
The so-called official organ of the
alliance of the State of Georgia pub
lishing such an article ! Will not the
yoemanry of this State rise up and put
their public disapproval upou such pub
lications in their reputed organ and the
editor who inserts them ? We believe
they will, and that right speedily.

Johuey, aged four and Harry, aged
five, had been left at home with their

Wheu bedtime came they wanted to

cried lustily.
Their sister listened at the bottom of
the stairs, hoping that they would soon
be good.
At last Johnny stopped, and the lis
tener heard him say :
“You cry, Harry. I’m tired.”

TORTURED HY MINERS.
Terrible Experience of Q. O. Itloe In
tlie Tennesse Mountains.
New York, September B.—Gilbert
G. Rice, the man whose sufferings at
the bauds of a mob of Tennessee min
ers did go much in the recent strike to
turn sentiment against the strikers, was
the center of a group of friends at the
Grand Central depot yesterday after
noon, says the New York Press, lie
arrived early in the morning from BaP
timore on his way to Boston to consult
specialists as to a peculiar ailment
which followed his treatment at the
hands of the physicians that lie has so
far consulted.

rice’s storv.
To a Press reporter Mr. Rice gave a
description of the thrilling scene in
which he so natrowly escaped death.
“About a month ago,” said he, “when
trouble was brewing at the mines. I
visited Altamont, Tenn., to purchase
land in the vicinity. One day I deter
mined upon a pioce of forest betvveen
North Carolina and St. Louis railroad
aud the Elk river. I climbed the side
of the mountain, blazing the trees
along the route- There was no path
and I depended upon the blaze marks
to get hack. On my return I lost my
way and wandered about vainly trying
to find the blazed path. It was near
ly dusk wheu I heard voices ahead of
me. I peered through au opeuing and
saw a group of miners talking with two
men with demijohns. 1 saw that it was
a secret meeting of some sort, and, as
the men looked desperate. I thought
it wise to get away quickly. But 1 step
ped on a twig which cracked, and in a
moment they were upon mo and I was
drigged back to the opening.
CHARGED WITH BEING A SPY’.
“From their conversation I found
that they were a band of strikers, who
had come into the forest to negotiate
with illicit distillers for a supply of
liquor. The two men with demi
johns were owners of the still and had
brought samples with them. I was at
once searched from head to foot. As
I had my hunting clothes on I had no
papers in my possession. This seemed
proof positive to my captors that I was
a spy. The miners were strongly un
der the influence of the liquor and were
for killing me at once, but the moon
shiners, who were sober and cool head
ed, protested, saying it would only
bring down on them the wrath of the
government.
“Finally the miners took me to the
main camp. There I was kept a pris
oner several days in hopes that 1 would
give some details of the couvict carap
with which they supposed that I was
acquainted. I frankly admit that I
lied about the matter and gave much
pretended information in exchange for
food.
“Hut after the miners had made a
charge, based on my misleading infer
mation, and were repulsed most severe
ly, their anger knew no bounds. Cross
examination elicited the fact that I had
never visited the convict camp, and the
miners determined to make an exam
pie of me that would make the other
prisoners tremble.
TIED TO A FI.YIJHJ FREIGHT CAR.
“A meeting was held and the most
painful and ignominious death was dis
cussed. The meeting was held near an
old freight car that had been side track
ed on a steep incline, and its presence
offered a suggestion that was quickly
acted upon. One of the miners had
brought a strong lariat of tough cow
hide. It was decided to tie me by the
neck to one end of the lariat and fas
en the other end to the car and then
set the car to rolling down the grade.
“The decision was quickly carried
out. The noose wns drawn around my
neck and the brakes was looseud. One
of the miners dropped tbe noose from
neck to my waist. As the car started
! the lariat straightened out anil I took a
step forward, then another and anoth
I er, until I found it difficult to keep up.
HOOTED ItY MINERS.
“The sides of the track were lined
with a jeering mob of miners. As the
I car passed they cheered wddly. At a
l curve in the road I was lost to their
.sight. Anoth. r curve loomed up alu-ad,
and 1 closed ray eyes in despair. There
was a sudden turn as the car flew
: around, and at the end of the taut larit
I felt myself flyiug thiough space. 1
had gone off on a tangent and tho rope
near (he car struck a telegraph pole
with a suddenness that made mo dizzy.
The rope wound itself rapidly around
the pole. There was a sharp report
as tho lariat parted and the car went on.
As I swung around the pole tho lariat
grew shorter, until I was brought flat
up to the pole with a force that took
away my breath and rendered me in
sensible.
“Hours later I revived and got free
from the lariat, which had torn the
flesh about my loius into shreds. Two
ribs were broken and I was bruised all
over. I found a squatter’s hut and
two days later was in Knoxville. I
have been very ill eveiy since. My
weight has fallen from 205 pounds,
thrve weeks ago, to 150 now, and the
shock turned my hair white.”
A Clean Sweap.
It is just possible that the democrats
will attain next election what they
have not enjoyed since the war—con
trol of both house and senate and a
democratic president.
The house is already overwhelming
ly democratic aud there is little reason
to anticipate any change there. The
outlook for the election of Cleveland
is highly satisfactory and there is a
good fighting chance for the senate.
In the present senate are forty-seven
republicans, thirty nine democrats and
two farmers’ alliance members. The
terms of twenty nine will expire March
3, 1803.
Twelve of tho senators whose terms
expire in 1893 are democrats, as fol
lows : Gray, of Delaware ; Pasco, of
Florida ; Turpie, of lndiada ; Gorman,
of Maryland; George, of Mississippi ;
Cockrell, of Missouri; Blodgett, of.
New Jersey ; Bate, of Teunessee;
Mills, of Texas ; Daniel, of Virginia,
aud Faultier, of West Virginia.
Seveeteeu are republicans : Felton>
of Carolina ; Hawley of/Jonuecticut;
Hale, of Maine ; Dawes, of Massachu
setts; Stockbridge, of Michigan;
Davis, of Miuesota ; Sanders, of Mon
tana ; Paddock, of Nebraska ; Stewart,
of Nevada ; Hiscock, of New Y’ork ;
Casey, of North Dakota; Quay , of
Pennsylvania; Aldrich, of Rhode Is
land; Proct or, of Vermont; Allen, of
Wasliinlon ; Sawyer, of Wisconsin ;
and Warren, of Wyoming.
There is no reason to doubt that the
twelve democratic vacancies will be
filled by democrats aud in several of
the states where republican vacancies
occur there is a good fighting chance
for democracy. Five of these republi
can vacancies must be filled by demo
crats to secure control of tho senate,
and in New Y’ork, Connecticut, Mon
tana, Wisconsin and Michigan there is
a very hopeful promise of victory.
With Cleveland in the presidential
chair and the entire congress demo
cratic then democrats will have a
chance to legislate and third jiartyites
will lie justified in camplaiuing if
there is no improvement. Georgians
who are thinking of voting for Weaver
or anybody else but Cleveland, should
reconsider and lend their aid towards
democratic victory this time. Then if
the democrats, with the entire govern
ment in their charge, do not do some
thing to relieve the agricultural classes
it will be full time for the farmers to
turn against ths democratic party.
In the meantime let us all pull to
getlu-r one more time and see if we can
not put democrats in charge of the
government. —Augusta Chronicle.

Dcudly Work of a Itattlesuake.
A most pathetic and horrifying story
has just reached Athens from Madison
county and is vouched for by the best
authority.
The story gives the harrowing details
of the death of the entire famly of four
children of a Madison county family
within forty minutes, there of whom
died Irotn the bite of a rattlesnake and
the other was drowned while the mother
was attending the snake bitten ones.
The details of the story as told by two
of the most prominent citizens of Mad
ison county are as follow :
The name of the parents of the cbd.
dren is Wilson, living in Madison county
about twelve miles from Athens.
It seems that a few days since Mr.
Wilson bad left bis borne for the pur
pose of going to a mill some distance
away, and Mrs. Wilson lmd some work
to do.
She bad left the bouse but a short
while when screams attracted her atten
tion, and hastening there Bhe found two
of her children dead and the third ono
ejuite sick. The little fellow, however,
was able to talk, and said that they had
pokid their lingers through a crack in
the floor and a hen under the house had
bitten them all.
Mrs. Wilson then burred hack to the
spring and there foud her little baby had
crawled into the spring and was drown
ed. The mother gathered the baby in her
arms and returned to the house and
found the little boy also dead. Of
course the strain was to great for human
endurance and the mother fainted
away
In a few minuets Mr. Wilson return
ed from the mill and the sight that met
his gaze is beyound description—four
children dead, and his wife on tho floor
in an unconscious couditiou.
As soon as possible he secured the
assittance of neighbors and restoratives
were applied and Mrs. Wilson regained
consciousness. As soon as she could
speak she repeated what the little lioy
had said. A search was made and a
huge rattlesnake was found under the
house and killed.
