Smith lives at 1011 Graham street* f a works in Yarbrough's: tobbaco fac- Tory; and Ai T. Daniel lives at SO" Gra 3lain street, and works in Milheiscr's tobacco factory. The paslor of the. church. Rev. A. B. -%r£ruson. vras present, and had some fappy rerciuks to make upon the debate. Mtogcther. it was, the greatest debate of ihf kind th.it has. ever occurred .• in' that «ecUon, and repetition of it, which is T»ro:n3ped for ihe near future, is looked -om-nrd to wiUi.the greatest interest. ' The speaking began shortly before 9. o'clock, when, a jnember of the audience 'n'roa-u'eed Tt. X». Smith, who arose to rhampion Oie cajjse of the movement rf the-^artli aroMi;d the stationary sun. The speaker who introduced Smith ex j.laincd that a Hercc argument had taken rlace some days before in a neigbboring Ice-cream saloon in regard to the" Jas perlan theorj' of the ea,rth and the sun, and that it Jsad resulted, in a detexmina lion 10 have n joint discussion upon the •^ao where everybody would have the opportunity- tt* hear 1 both , sides »of the jjucstion- The two debaters who were >o speak were the main debaters in the preliminary argument in the ice-cream j-aloon. Be begged the earnest attention c>f the audience. - Smith arose, and aiier a sentence of introduction, said that about twenty years ago he attendedK.a school in Hen-, rico, where lie first learned in a. geogra- | phy that the earth Was round. At iirst j 3ie* could not understand, but later he believed the theory, and had continued in ihls belief until this day. TO PROVE JASPER- WRONG. He declared he was before the. auui ?nce to prove that John V Jasper was JnTong, and tlie astronomers knew more than he did. He said that when he was :it school they told him the sun did not move, and yet when he got hom<* they talked about the -rising and setting of ihe sun. as if the iu.ri did move. This" bothered him greatly, until he learned aJiey -a-ere' speaking;' figuratively. Ha had come to the conclusion- that Brother John Jasper was entirely wrong lUe did not know anything about the '"siarry heavings." and therefore could jiot teach such doctrines. DKLVED INTO STATISTICS. The speaker then went heavily into Ft:ui.-.ti<-.s. and showed conclusively the facts of the situation. He said the sun was H,<#o;<X»3 times as largQ as the earth; that it i-j-'k a -cannon-ball twenty-two years it so there: and that the earth ■revolved at th« rate of CS,OOO miles an 3iour. "I don't see how 'tis possible," said the speaker, "but •stronemers' say 'tis so" He went on to tell of the revolution nf tho sun from west to east, and brought in scientific terms. - "Gawd knows why we don't fall °n% if we go so fast," said the speaker" "but they say 'tis true." ".Now." brother Jasper says you couldn't 3'neasure the. distance to the sun without a tape-line, but the 'stronemers; known more Than Brother Jasper or Brother. Daniel 2iy.ar eitlier." A KNOCKOUT. •'Now. in tho summertime the day is nhoiit fo'leen hours long. If 'tis liko ?3rnth<--r Jasper say. the night would be just as long as the "day, and the day and iii^ht would be twenty-eight hours long. How ken that be?" (Great" applause.) The speaker declared all references in ih.-- Bible lo the matter as being- *'puorely CJL'Ut'iative." . -■ ■ "What we have preachers for if we ken -ur.derstan' all the Bible? That's all they for to 'splain them things."- He said he was- confident that Jzuck Newton and Coperni.ckus knew all lhese v "John Jasper ought to have been in Petersburg, in the asylum. Gawd don t ftcil folks ev'y thing. He leave some'pn jor folks to work out. He made snakes He made blac>r snakes, copperhead snaices highland mokkerson, and spread head mokkorson, and lef' man to find out which was pizenous. He d!dn t tell iinvbodv which had pizen In his head. "■: "QUITE A DIFFERENCE. He explained that the sun did. not rise cvervwliere iii the world in the same wa> l^or' instance, he said, it rose In the east in Fulton, and went down in the west, fcut in Melbourne, it -rose right 111 the. ao-tli and went down in the south Se w "nr 'on to say that John Jasper triS u,%t;onymiz y the stronomers, John Ja-spor because h< f'hud more gall tiian ■ anyboj >'f. *J» ih c world to stand up and spute that ■•hf fixrih was round. The sneaker them went, on to declare what great men the "stronomers" -were SSn-t tilry predict the birth .of^g When you gets to .Heavon, my conteni porary the fust wan you will se^l be these .stronomers that strononiized rt.he stars." ' ,' t i The spoeeli was an nble argument. -.lt T,vas logical lull of illustration. It] xras liberally applauded all through. The ; speaker made no mistake when he took j 3iis seat in- believing, that he had made ; a. good and able speech. JASFKII-THEOHY'S CHAMPIONSHIP. \ Smith's opi>oneni, A. T. Daniel, was ihen ■•■introduced by a tall young speaker who evidently agreed heartily with Dan iel in his theory that the sun do move. He dccla-ed in introducing his man that he had felt so full all through the speak ing that he could hardly keep his scat. 3I« said the people weiv. not ready to s ,ut the astronomers before Gods. word. 2U, considered that ho knew, as much and had every chance to see more.
