THE PRIMITIVE BAPTISTS-
Ktt. bans Jones baa made himself
famona and rich by saying some
very fanny sad catling things from
the pulpit, and as his success in
creases he becomes more caustic in
his utterances. In a recent “sermon
he saw fit to go for the Primitive
Baptists without gloves, and took
this worthy denomination as a text
fsr a prohibition discourse. Among
other haish statements, be said that
if the people wanted to get rid ot
dog fennel all that they bad to do
was to sprinkle it with whiskey, and
the “Hardshell Baptists” would soon
eat it up. The inference that Mr.
Jones desired to make was that the
Primitive Baptists were a lot of
liquor drinkers, sad of course un
worthy of Christian recognition. As
to the statement of their eating dog
fennel sprinkled with whiskey, of
course it was intended as a modern
Sam Jones parable, and not for any
one to believe in its literal sense.
Htat we would suggest to Mr. Jones
that if he desired to deal in such
impossible statements that be select
some other aruna than the house of
Ood. People who attend divine wor
ship expect to be told the truth, and
not amused by a reoitalion of impos
sibilities. It seems to us that a min
ister should try and emulate the
example and teachings of our Lord
and Saviour, and not cater to the ap
plauBe and risibilities of the worldly-
minded. It is impossible to imagine
Jesus of Nazareth giving utterance
to such silly, meaningless and hu
morous sentences as characterize
Rev. Sam Jones. Such language
would be more in place in a circus
ring or before the footlights of a
minstrel show, than in the sacred
desk.
We desire to say a word in defence
of our friends the Primitive Baptists.
We have lived among these people
all our life, and know that there is
not a more moral, upright, sober and
God-lovitog and God fearing denom
ination in existence. As their name
denotes, they are Primitive Chris
tians, and endeavor to live up to the
Bible in its literal demands,
of their practices are different from
other churches, but they have Bibli
cal commands for all they do. As
far from this sect being whiskey
drinkers or encouragers of intemper-
anoe, we venture the assertion that
there is as little dissipation among
the Primitive Baptists as a like num
ber of any denomination you may
select. They are not extremists on
any issue. We never knew a more
honorable or just people than the
soMjalled “ Hardshell Baptists.”
Their creed is to act fairly by every
man, and this is the only church we
know of that dismisses a member for
not paying his honest debts. Any
merchant in Athens will credit a cus
tomer, it matters not bow poor he is
on the strength of his being a Prim
itive Baptist. We do not think Mr.
Jones could have selected a more
unassailable church upon which to
make his attack than our Old School
Baptist friends. It is true they are
few in numbers,compared with other
denominations, but wherever you
find them they have the respect and
oonfidence of the public. Some of
our best and staunchest friends be
long to this church, and they are as
loyal and true as they are pious and
sincere.
Rev. Sam Jones must certainly
have “gone off half-cocked,” to use
a common phrase. Did he desire to
hold up liquor drinking in abhor-
ance, he could certainly have found
examples in his own church from
■which to take a text—as no denomi
nation is entirely free from such
members—without going out of his
way to malign and slander a respec
table and pious sect, whose only de
sire is to lead a peaceful and Chris
tian life, respecting alike the laws of
God and man. No good Methodist
can or will endorse this unjust, un
kind and abusive attack by Rev.
n Jones on the Primitive Baptists,
in Congress sic about equally divid
ed, and the South holds the balance
of power in making the decision. It
is a matter of indiUt^nc* to our
Congressmen which city esptunn
the prize, as the fair will be for the
upbuilding and glory of the North
and will not help oor aeclion This
evsu to ns a most excellent oppor
tunity for our Southern representa
tives to force their rights and a re
cognition of their people. Let them
say to their Northern colleagues,
when approached for Chicago
New York : “ What will you give us
in return for onr support ? Will you
assist us to defeat the infamous force
bill ? Will yon vote with us to place
jute bagging on the free list, and
thus remove s tax that oppresses
only one class and one indastry, and
enables a few men to form a trust
and extort a usurious price from the
cotton planter ? What redactions
will you help us make in the tariff^ so
as to lift a burthen that is grinding
our people into poverty ? If you
want an appropriation from the Na
tional treasury to assist the North,
we demand a like sum for the South
—money for opening our rivers and
erecting new buildings. We do not
care a stiver where your World’s
Fair is located, and our votes are for
sale. If you do not care to trade,
we have the power to defeat the
scheme, and will do so.”
The North has for yean been get
ting the lion’s share of this govern
ment money, and used Southern
Congressmen as a cat’s-paw to pull
it out for them. It is time to call a
halt and demand a more equal divi
sion of the spoils between the two
sections. The World’s Fair scheme
is a good one to begin work on, and
by a judicious trading of their votes
our Southern representatives can do
more toward' defeating objectionable
legislation and securing a recogni
tion of the rights of their section
from the republicans in Congress
than will ever be accomplished by
speech-making and fillibustering.
The two rival sections of the North
are fighting over the location of the
World’s Fair, and our Southern
Congressmen can name the place.
Let them turn their power to the
profit and protection of their people.

THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK-
We have not a shadow of doubt
but that the democracy will tiiumph
In 1892, and this time the doom, of
the republican party will be sound
ed. The parly now in power feels
thosand giving away from beneath
its feet, and Us leaders are resorting
to every means to prevent it. The
great democratic victories in the
West have shown them that the peo
ple are learning the true meaning of
the .iniquitous protective tariff sys-
Some | tun, and will crush out of power the
party that seeks to oppress the
masses,that a few manufacturers and
monopolists may add to their already
enormous wealth. The organisation
of the farmers all over the country
will do much toward the triumph of
the democratic party, and it is the
duty of all good citizens to encour
age the advance of the Alliance.
Grover Cleveland will be our stand
ard-bearer again in 1892, and his
election is already assured. The
democracy was never more, deter
mined or united—the republicans
are badly frightened and torn with
warring factions. It is destined to
be wrecked in 1892 through its cor
ruption and internal dissensions.
LET OUR CONGRESSMEN BE FOR SALE-
There is a bitter rivalry between

New York, the East, over the World’s
