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. bi foui din the United State*.

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.

It was under this hon ored name that the battle begun, and let it so remain to the end. other organizations want to combine with the Alliance, all well and good, bnt in making this coalition, see that this all-powerful and invulnerable name is preserved.
