ur out in Texas once. He was about
' best that was ever made. He was a
r -,er from Rattersville. He’d not only
l rats, but he’d kill cats. You see
wanted the cats to know that he was
to take care of every rat on the place,

water spaniel and turned him loose tn the
var d with the terrier. I tell you, it
wasn’t three months before association
Vl that rat dog had taught the spaniel
ri re about the game than the ratter
V- tv himself. My boys came to me and
g , and thait the spaniel could beat the black
ed id-tan all to pieces. There was
terrier, with the rat-catch
ing instinct bred in the bone, and there
was that spaniel, with never a thought
of a rat until he got to associating with
tiiat rat dog. Don’t you see it? It was
association. The terrier is dead now, but
tht spaniel is still at It—still catching
rats at a greater rate than any dog I
ever knew. It's Just like some of you
p,,or fellows who have got your vices.
You are living along under them, while
tie fellows from whom you got them
through association are dead and
damned."
•The Elks are a drinking crowd, and
that is the only reason in the world that
I ever fulminated a single denunciation
against them. They have an. evil in
fluence upon your boys. I don’t want to
see boys taken in by the Elks and ruined.
1 suppose you Savannah preachers have
never said one word against the Elks. I
guess you are as Ignorant about them
and their ways as any ten-days old nig
ger baby in town. I tell you, I’ve trav
eled a heap in my time, but it took me a
long while to catch on to the Elks. I
didn’t get on to them until two years
ego, but I’m on to them now. I like their
charity and benevolence; that’s all right.
I like any big-hearted fellow, but I don't
like them to start to setting up a prac
tice of drinking and getting young men
in with them. I don’t want my boy with
'em, and if he goes in, him and his daddy
will have a head-on collision when he gits
cut.
"You ain’t got a pious Elk in this
whole town. Show me one and I’ll tat
him raw without salt. I don’t want to see
any recruits in that gang. Let them that
are already in go ahead and drink all the
liquor they want, drink themselves to
death, if they insist on it, but don’t let
them be pulling others in. Its a lot easier
to stand up on the bank and keep ’em
from pulling others in than it is to get
a pole and line and fish ’em up out of
the bottom of the river after they’ve done
got 'em in. A fellow in the ESks who
don’t drink is like a fool in the Baptist
church w.ho don’t believe in immersion.
He's got no place there, has he, Brother
Jordan?” turning to the pastor of the
First Baptist Church and getting a ‘’no’’
for his answer.
"I'm here in a city,” continued Mr.
Jones, ‘‘where it is almost as respectable
to sell and drink whisky as it is to sell
dry gods and eat bread and meat. By the
way, I see in the afternon paper that
some little fellow has been talking about
me over a nom de plume. Do you know
what a nom de plume is? It’s a buzzard
with all his feathers stamped off. fit is
the refuge of a pusillanimous coward
who writes against a minister of the
gospel. Put your name in, Bud, and I'll
hunt up your pedigree. Do you know why
he uses a nom de plume? I do. It’s be
cause a nom de plume is better than his
own name. Bet all who want to attack
me. from the aldermen down, or the al
dermen up, put down their names, for
I’m a great pedigree hunter. You
see. I’ve got the advantage on my side,
because everything that could be said
about me has been said. I’ve said it all
myself, l haven’t kept back a single
word of all the low, mean things I used
to do. I guesi it would be different with
the other fellow, though, and my hunt
ing up his pedigree might discover some
thing that he wouldn't want known."
1 don't say hard things about saloon
keepers because they make money. Why,
they ought to make money. A man en
gaged in a business like that ought to
get paid for it. He sells the meanest
stuff on the top aide of the earth to the
lowest characters that live, and then,
when it is all over, he and the men he
sells it to must all go to hell together.
Tell me a business like that oughtn't to
pay? I don’t fight saloon keepers. 1
fight institutions. No, I don't fight the
man, hut I fight the town that will sell
him a license to do business, thus dividing
the proceeds of his hellish business with
him. My objection to the saloon keeper
is the same that I have to the louse—he
makes his living off the head of the fam
ily.
"We wouldn't have to make a fight
gainst the gamblers and the saloons if
their evil work were over. If the gam
ier never taught another boy to gam
h!e. If the saloon never wrecked another
home or if the dread infernalism of Sa
,rmah were to break no more mother's
hearts and send no more souls to the
lee pest depths of hell, then we would not"

where we are, and their race would be

' They say to me: ‘Mr. Jones, oughtn’t

MAYOR DORAN
OF ST. PAOL
Experiences the Invigorating Effect of
Paine's Celery Compound.
Hon. F. B. Doran, who has been several
times honored by the citizens of St. Paul
by re-election as Mayor, possessses many
of the characteristics that go to make the
reputation of a "sound man," and Is the
last person in the world to publicly in
dorse anything of which he has not fully
informed himself.
Mayor Doran decided to take Paine’s
celery compound this spring, having
heard much of its wonderful efficacy
from physicians, neighbors and intimate
friends. He was not disappointed. His
experience with this great remedy was
so gratifying that a few days ago he sent
the proprietors a testimonial which adds
conclusive proof to the statement of phy
sicians that, of all the spring remedies
that can be had, Paine’s celery compound
stands far above all others in honest and
great results:
March 21, 1901.
Dear Sirs—l am convinced that every
one, sick or well, needs to take a spring
remedy, and for that purpose. I believe
nothing can equal Paine’s celery com
pound. I commend it especially to the
nervously afflicted. Very truly yours,
F. B. DQRAN.
to start with. I would rather be a ras
cal than a fool. You can reform a ras
cal, but, look here, did you ever have
anything to do with a fool? Hear me,
boys. You stay away from bad compan
ions and stay with good ones. ‘But,
Brother Jones,' you say, ‘I can't stay in
Savannah and not associate with bad
companions.’ Stuff and nonsense! I’ve
been here four days, and I haven't been
associating with any. And I ain't goin’
to, either, and they ain’t goin' to associ
ate with me. If you were to ask a sa
loon keeper down town which he would
rather do, go up to the De Soto and spend
the night with Sam Jones or go to jail,
he’d tell you, "Go to jail.’
"There’s the secretary of the Young
Men’s Christian Association over there.
He can tell you the young men who fre
quent that Institution, getting temporal
and slpiritual profit from their associa
tions there, and he can tell you others
that you couldn’t get within a mile of the
place. God help the Y. M. C. A. God help
anything in Savannah that will keep the
young men from ruin. I guess you are
begging your way, ain't you, brother?
Yes? Do you know any good thing in
Savananh that isn't begging Its way.
When a good thing comes to my town
I’m goin' to help it in every way I can,
but When a bad thing comes, I’m goin’
to turn the business end of a mule upon
it and send it over the fence.
’’The crowd you run, with here is the
crowd you've got to gang with in hell.
That place Is projected upon an Intensi
fied plan along the lines of evils that are
practiced on this earth. I’ve preached in
penitentiaries. The worst men In the
state are not always found in the peni
tentiary. They get the unfortunate ones
there, those who were found out. I tell
you, you poor white folks and niggers had
better look out. You’d better behave
yourselves, or they’ll get you. Poor white
folks and niggers have a hard time in this
world. They get the kicks and knocks of
fortune, with few of the pleasant pats. 1
hope there will be good places reserved
for them In the next world.”
•’You poor folks let the rich folks do
all the drinking they want to. You let it
alone. The dirtiest dog In this town Is
the poor man who takes a drink, know
ing, when he pays for it, that It is taking
soma slight comfort away from his wife
and family that might be theirs If he was
not such a fool as to squander the money
on his cursed thirst for whisky. Let the
rich folks go ahead. That’s the gang that
doesn’t like what I say. None of you poor
folks mind what I say, do you?” and off
from a distant part of the Tabernacle
came a ’’no” In a tone of vole* that made
even the evangelist laugh.
Mr. Jones closed with a story of a
Christian dinner party he had once given
the young men of Cartersvllle. He told It
in an attractive style, and it was inter
esting. He told of the advice that he hud
given the young men, repeating It for the
benefit of those who heard him last right,
and It was such advice as could not but
be followed with profit, lie then Invited
penitents to come forward and shake
hands with him. Many accepted the In
vitation. The meeting concluded with the
singing of two hymns.
CUT SHORT BY THE RAIN.
Bnt F.va ngrllef Ntnnrt Managed to
C.et In Wonie Telling Hite.
The usual crowd attended the afternoon
service at the Tabernacle and es usual
Rev. G. R. Btuert preached, but the ser
vice was cut short because of the threat
ening weather. The sermon was strietly
a gospel one; It was on the subject of
"Grow."
“The world Is full of fools and babies,”
said Mr Stuart, "that ts, bablew religious
ly. So many people are Ignorant of all
the depths of religious work.” Speaking
from a religious standpoint, he said: ’’A

THE MOKNING NEWS: SATUBDAY, MAY 18. 1901?
Because a man Is growing old he need
not ‘be an Invalid. Old age isn’t a
disease. A man at sixty should be
well, and many at seventy are as well
as ever in their lives.
But as age comes on the blood needs to
be rid of rheumatism and the muscles
of neuralgia; the nerves need feeding
and the brain nourishment; Paine's celery
compound is food for the brain and
nerves. It builds up the strength of
the body. The saddest ignorance is for
a slfk person not to kriow the remedy
that will make him well. Fortunately,
few people have failed to hear of the re
markable cures from the use of Paine’s
celery compound.
For rheumatism, neuralgia, impure
blood, nervous diseases and kindred trou
bles, it is a positive cure. The experi
mental efforts of scores and scores of
so-called spring remedies with which the
market 1b constantly recruited are in
startling contrast with the thoroughly
scientific way in which Paine’s celery
compound restores health and vigor to
the worn-out blood and nerves.
New strength, new life, new health
come from its use—especially is this true
in the spring.
was last year, and so on continuously.
“There are too many babies in the
church. Babies in the home are mighty
troublesome at times, though God pity
the family that has no babies; I pity the
family that has nothing but a poodle dog
and a canary. It is a marvelous blessing
that God has given you little ones to train
for heaven. God gives us two childhoods;
one to the child, to develop the mother,
and the other to the mother to develop
the c'hild.
“As In the home the babies have to be
watched and taught and taken care of,
so is it true of the babies in the church;
the babies in religion are as likely to
pick up a pack of cards as the Bible; or
a bottle for the prayer book.
"I like a Christian that doesn’t have
to go to the minister and ask 'do you
think it right to dance,’ or 'do you think
it wrong to play cards.' O', for a stal
wart Christianity that don’t ask fool
questions!
’The greatest need that I have found
is the need of a genuine, old-fashioned,
Holy Ghost regeneration. How many of
you can say I have pasesd from death to
life? How many of you read the Bible
systematically, say twice a day? (Ten
stood up).
“I'm afraid,” said the speaker, "that
too many of you treat the Bible as Pat
did. A minister was carefully teaching
him to read the Bible. One day he called
to give his customary lesson. Pat was
out, so he interrogated his wife. 'How is
Pat getting along reading the Bible?’
'Getting along fine,' said the old
woman, ‘he’s out out the Bi
ble now and reading the newspaper.'
“That’s the trouble with too many of
you to-day," said the speaker, “you're
out of the Bible and reading the news
paper.”
Also Mr. Stuart said that what the
people of the country needed in Lhsir
homes was a place to pray in. “I have
hardly found one Christian house in this
country," he said, and then went on to
explain that though he had inspected
many finely appointed bouses he tad dis
covered In but one a secret closet of
prayer.
As the rain appeared imminent, and as
some of the congregation were leaving
the Tabernacle, the speaker dismissed the
meeting without finishing his sermon.
ELECTRICITY SHOCKED MILE.
Live Trolley Mire Had People
.Moving on Bay Street,
One of the over head wires of the Sa
vannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope
Railway Company snapped at Drayton
and Bay streets, during the rain etorm
late yesterday afternoon. The wire fell
in the middle of Bay street and sputtered
and spit electric sparks at * great rate.
A mule ran Into the live wire and was
badly shocked, although not fatally
burned. The negro driver had a narrow
escape from what would probably have
been a worse fate, and saved himself by
jumping from the eart.
The electrical display was rather pret
ty, but several pedestrians had narrow
escape* from being shocked. The power
house was notified of the break and the
repair wagon wa hurtred to the scene.
The break was fixed In about half an
hour, during which time the cars on the
Inner lines were at a standstill. The
broken wire did not stop the suburban
cars for the reason that they are on a
sepaarte circuit.
