Meetings to lie Held Annually.
Early Sunday morning the crowds be
gan to roll into Durham from every di
rection and hy every means of locomo
tion, the trains from Raleigh, Oxford,
Henderson and Greensboro being unusu
ally crowded with people coming to hear
the concluding sermon in the Sam Jones
meetings.
Several hours before the morning ser
vices began - the people began to pour
into the Tabernacle, and by the time for
the exercises to begin, every seat had
been taken and every foot of standing
room was occupied.
At abmf,iiu rp'clock in advance of the
rnvaVf$PWe"'Tevangelists Mr. .James
Southgate arose and after reviewing the
sufcess of the meeting about to close,
made an rarest appeal to the congrega
tion to make up a liberal contribution
for Rev. Mr. Jones.
Mr. J. S. Carr spoke of the great spir
itual good he had received from the
meetings, and said that he would give
$300, and that in order to get the money
in hand before night he would agree to
cash all subscriptions made in good
faith.
This display of open-handed liberality
of Durham's most generous and public
spirited citizen, produced a deafening
applause. A general collection was
taken up and the total sum of $2,2(50
was raised and which was later on turned
over to Mr. Jones.
Prof. Excell sang a beautiful solo, en
titled "The Wonderful Country," after
which Mr. Jones arose and announced
the subject of his sermon as
"mother, wife and daucuteu."
lie said that the word mother was
our first and sweetest word. God's best
gift to a good boy is ood mother.
There is not a man in all the world so
base who did not at some time talk of
his mother's goodness. Some of our
adages were self-evident truths, one of
these was "the hand that rocks the cradle
rules the world." If you give me the
place of mother I don't care who occu
pies the place -of president, judge, gov
ernor, senator or representative.
Mother! the sweetest word that be
longs to earth. We stop long enough to
say that Nero's mother was a bloody
murderer; and she gave to this world tho
most cruel man the world ever saw. He
could fiddle and dance over burning
Rome. Lord Byron's mother was a
proud, intellectual woman, and she gave
to this world one of the most profligate
intellectual autocrats the world ever saw.
John Wesley's mother was a sensible,
religious, painstaking, good woman; and
she gave to this world one of the grand
est characters we ever had.
George Washington's mother was a
simple-hearted, strong-minded, pious
good woman; and she gave to this coun
try a man whom we honor with the title
of "father of his country."
All great men may look up and say all
my greatness is of my mother. Success
in manhood may always be traced to the
training a boy gets at the hands of his
mother, therefore of all beings in this
world, the mother ought to be the best.
There is nothing in the economy of
grace that can make up to your child
that which it loses in the fact that it does
not have a good mother. Twice happy
that family and that child whose mother
loves God with all her heart, and loves
her neighbor as herself.

Mr. Jones here referred in affectionate
terms to his mother, and said that he
knew he could never recover from the
fact that he lost his "precious mother
when he was a little boy. He dwelt at
length on the influence of a sainted,
gracious mother, and said that if a boy
has got a good mother he has got a
vantage ground that the devil cannot
displace him from.
Next to that of a good mother God's
best gift to a man is a good wife. He
touched on all sorts of wives, and said
that he had admiration for the woman
who had a henpecked husband, that this
sort of man invariably needed pecking,
that he had better be pecked by his wife
than by the devil. He also liked the wo
man w ho would stand up to her husband,
and in his opinion a cheerful wife is a
blessing to any man. Joyous, christian
woman, happy all the time and throwing
sunshine on everything that comes in
contact with her. ir ' - '
Love, joy and peace ! Peace that de
fies all the powers of earth and conquers
all the obstacles in its way. I went into
the garden of an old brother and there
was a tombstone and he said, "There is
the tombstone of my wife." I walked up
and read the inscription:' it gave her
name, the date of her birth and the date
of her death, and then just one line and
that line was this : "She made home
pleasant." That was the grandest epi
taph I ever saw on a wife's tombstone.
A wife and a husband ought to have an
understanding that they will not get mad
at the same time. When a husband gets
to quarrelling a wife ought to sit down
and keep her mouth shut.
He spoke of a wife's gentleness, and
then got off on the subject of mothers-in-law.
He said that he had a mighty good
mother-in-law, but that just as soon as he
married her daughter he moved fire hun
dred miles away and she had never shown
any inclination to follow. He said that
when his wife wanted to see her mother
she could go, but that somehow or other
he imagined that when she came back she
was a little more sassy than usual.
Mr. Jones concluded his sermon by
speaking on the third division of his
theme, daughters. They make up large
ly, said he, the life of our homes. He
said that there was a family of children
in Durham, North Carolina, who are
worth their weight in gold, lie spoke of
silly girls who dance, and who encourage
the attention of dudes. The dude, he
f.5d, Vv'i-a pimple or. tbe face of society.
You have seen these little white pimples
that come on your face when you sleep.
That was a dude, and when one of these
pimples was squeezed it was a dudine.
Mr. Jones accompanied his discourse
with a number of practical illustrations
that brought the morals he wished to
convey very conspicuously before his
hearers.
At the close of his sermon Mr. Jones
announced the presence on the platform
of the wife of the late Bishop AVightman
and in fitting language introduced her to
the audience. Mrs. Wightman presented
the cause of the Woman's Missionary
Society, of which she is a representative.
She said that it was no new thing for
women to engage in missionary work,
but that it was new that they were be
ginning to accomplish that work under
thorough organization. She said much
that was eminently practical and wise in
regard to training schools, and mentioned
the religious normal school to be erected
at Kansas City, where Sunday school
missionary and charitable workers would
be carefully trained.
Mr. Jones made an appeal to the audi
ence for contribution to aid this normal
religious work and to help build the re
quisite structures at Kansas Ctty. A
fund amounting to the generous sum of
$2,0.0.r)() was subscribed.
AFTERNOON SERVICE.
To one attending the large tabernacle
meetings last Sunday morning and thl
week previous, it nras a source of sur
prise and wonder where so manj people
came from. Surely ever man, woman
and child in Durham and the surround
ing country too, must be present.
It seemed thus indeed at the time, and
yet when the hour for the meeting "for
men only" arrived, there was the audi
torium packed and crowded with men of
all ages, but not a woman in the entire
building, where they usually outnum
bered the men two to one.
Mr. Jones previous to announcing his
text said that he had but three questions
to propound to the man who attempted to
give him religious instruction and point
to him the way of salvation. First, are
you posted on the subject you are about
to discuss? second, do you mean kindly
towards me? and third, do you live up to
what you preach ?
Now my friends I have the kindliest
feelings toward you in everything I say,
though sometimes I know it strikes you
pretty hard and hurts. I try to live up
to what I preach. I preach to as many
people each year in my native home,
where I have lived for forty-one years as
I do anywhere in my travels. Do you
think people would turn out in such num
bers and nccept the teachings of a man
in whom they had not confidence that he
was fit to preach to them!

DURHAM, X. C, TUESDAY
This evening I am going to preach to
you plainly, pointedly and decently
whatever you may think to the contrary.
A portion of the 17th verse of the 19th
chapter of Genesis will furnish the text
of the discourse "Escape for thy life ;
look not behind thee, neither stay thou
in all the plain ; escape to the mountain
lest thou be consumed.".
God has implanted in every man the
instinctive love of life and dread of death.
If the Bible warns us against anything it
is sin and sin is the transgression of the
law, and these laws God ha3 laid down
plainly in the ten commandments.
The first sin I would warn you against,
young men, is the sin of profanity. The
man who will persistently swear and pol
lute the name of God, if he was turned
loose, free from all outside restraint,
would break all the other commandments.
If you see a man a profane swearer, that
isn't all he is. Watch him and see what
else he does. If a man, swears he can
swear as much as he pleases and; no. one
prevents him. If he tries to steal,though,
he runs up against a sheriff and a pair of
handcuffs and a jail. - .
If it was made politically and socially
as easy to steal as it is to swear the whole
country would have to be kept under
padlock and staple. Yes, I swore once
and I stole, too. I stole the peace of mind
and happiness from my mother and wife
when I was at it. Now don't go away
from here and say Sam Jones said any
man who would swear would steal. I
said he wouldn't and I showed you why
he wouldn't.
Mr. Jones especially denounced men
who would swear before their wives and
innocent children and spew out their fil
thy oaths in public. He recommended
that the railroad companies, in order to
keep abreast jwith the times, to have
in addition to their sleeping, dining and
smoking cars, a cussin' car and pack into
it all tbe black-mouthed, scoundrels who
use profane language.
Next to swearing for which there is
no excuse and against which God is
most righteously indignant he consid
ered Sabbath breaking the most unex
cusble and unprovoked tran sgression of
God's commands. If I have seven dol
lars and give a beggar I meet six of
these and he returns and steals my last
would we not say he was the meanest
and the lowest of men ? But God gives
you six days and reserves one for him
self and you deliberately steal that away
fron him. -
You have no use for these "old Sab
bath day christians," but you show me a
man who habitually keeps the Sabbath
and I'll show you an everyday chris
tian. In Georgia they dont allow freight
trains to run on Sunday and I wish I
could see it that way all over the whole
country. We should preserve the holi
ness of the Sabbath as we do the virtue
of our daughters and wives. The most
damnable man in hell is the man who
cursed himself into hell and the next is
the Sabbath breaker.
Many of you people will be surprised
to hear that there is a good deal of gam
bling going on in Durham, yes, Durham!
The burglar and gamber follow the same
profession only they use different tools,
Gambling is a sin against every man
who earns his bread by the sweat of his
brow.
If I had a clerk who I knew gambled I'd
bounce him right away for though I
hadn't missed any money so far as I know
it would be only a question of time
when the cash in the drawer would be
gin to go unaccountably.
Of all the gambling the Louisiana
State Lottery is the worst this side of
hell. It has ruined more young men in
this country than all the other hell-traps
combined, (faint applause.)
I notice all of you don,t clap your
hands. Some of you've got tickets in
your pockets now.
Mr. Jones paid a glowing tribute to
General Lee. repeating the great gener
al's reply to the commissioners of the lot
tery when they offered him 10,000 for
the use of his name in the scheme. When
ever the name of the great commander
was called a loud applause broke forth.
In conclusion of his remarks in this
connection Mr. Jones said, "Thank God
he was ever born, and though now re
moved from our sight he is still the prop
erty of the sunnj South. He towers
aboye almost any character in American
history. He is so great that we haven't
gotten oil far enough to see how big he
was." Boys, go to work and make your
living honestly. Don't gamble. God
made you for a nobler purpose. No
gambler was ever an honest man.
The speaker complained of soreness of
throat and being greatly fatigued, and
could only continue for a few moments
longer. On the sin of licentiousness he
would not speak much. He would read
from the Tth chapter of Proverbs a strong
and powerful picture of theresults of the
indulgence of the passions. The bite of
a serpent was hardly more poisonous to a
young man.
A young man can live as pure as a
young woman and when physicians pre
scribe to the contrary they lie. He want
ed to see the dav when America would be

Raleigh, N. C, Oct. 14. )
.The State Fair was opened today in
ihe usual way. The procession, formed
st? the Yarboro, and the Governor and
President W. G. Upchurch were escorted
to the grounds by Chief Marshal Herbert
Norris and his aides. A band of eighteen
pieces, from Steele Creek, Mecklenburg
county, fournishes the music this year.
GOV. FOWLE OPENS THE FAIR.
The Governor in declaring the fair
formally opened, after its presentation
bf President Upchurch, took occasion to
speak of the excellence of the present ex
hibition in all respects, particularly in
an agricultural point of view. Short
speeches were also made by Marshal
Norris and Col. Polk.
Your correspondent visited the fair to
day and was struck by the
EXTENT AND BEAUTY OF THE EXHIBITS.
Really there is something to be seen and
it is well displayed. What remains of
Uic once immense exposition building is
well utilized. Farm products, fruits, etc.,
fill most of it. The fruits are for the
first time properly shown 'on plates.
rhe forage plants, vegetables, tfcc, are in
profusion, while the field products, such
as grain, &c, are displayed in boxes
whose sides are of wdre netting. This
permits them to be seen to particular ad
vantage. THE MACHINERY
i3 shown in what was once the court of
tlie exposition building. There is far
more of it than usual. .
The" State agricultural department
makes a considerable display, much of
which has been seen before.
TnE INDIANS
arrived today, and have their tents on
the grounds. Of course they are not
wgular wigwams, for it has been nearly
'""..-- J? t- - n v-,. 1:
a cenvury since uie vueruhcts xiuti; men
in that sort of habitation.
No one ever saw so many shows on
the grounds. All are what are known
as innocent amusements and no one cau
can complain that there are nt sights to
be seen. Such a collection of "freaks"
is rarely gotten together. Canvass tents
dot the grounds.
What is known popularly as "floral
hall" is well filled. There is not so much
sameness.
ELACKWELL's DURHAM BULL
occupies his usual honored place, right
at the main entrance. This time there is
a new design, and a life-size bulljbearing
the world en his back, is a feature.
The Raleigh merchants have had their
pride aroused and some of the largest
make pretty displays.
EXHIBITS EROM OTHER FAIRS.
Six car loads of exhibits from the Al
abama Fair arrived here today and three
car loads from the Warrenton Fair. All
will be well displayed. Droves of sheep
and cattle passed in the gate today. The
pens and stalls are all filled. Of course
a good many are shown, but it will not
be until tomorrow that Capt. B. P. Wil
liamson will exhibit the superb animate
from his breeding farm something
which all should see.
THE FARMERS' ALLIANCE
comes out strong at the Fair. It is the
first time that it has taken part officially,
in the fair. Field products it shows in
large variety. A great deal of cotton is
displayed by county alliances.
THE WEATHER TODAY
was very cheerless and was the only
drawback. Not a great deal of rain fell
and there was an obliging cessation for
the formal opening, but a fair always
looks best in the sunshine. The weather
prophets one and all joined in predict
ing a bright week. Good weather is the
one thing needed. Everything else is
here.
THE BATEMAN MARRIAGE.
Mr. A. M. Bateman and Miss Joseph
ine Knowles, the young lady who to
morrow is to become his wife, are already
here. The sister of the bride-elect came
with her. The marriage will attract an
immense crowd tomorrow. Nobody here
ever saw a wedding in public and this
one will catch them all. There have
been many additions to the bride's wed
ding presents. She is a lucky woman to
get so many nice and useful things and
also such a clever fellow as Bateman ap
pears to be. Some people ridicule the
marriasre, but all will go to see it, never
thelessT Mr. Bateman is 29 years of age.
Miss Knowles is only 10.
SAM JONES.
It was learned today that Sam Jones
will not come here next October unless
a very lanre auditorium be prepared for
him. It is said that one man will put in
$2,500 for the building of such an audi
torium. AN UNFOUNDED RUMOR.
The rumor that postmaster Shaffer
had resigned as custodian of the post
office building is untrne. A great many
improvements are to be made at once.
The ceilings of the rooms on the first,
second and third floors will be taken
out, as all are badly cracked. New ones
will replace them and then all will be
handsomely frescoed. This will greatly
improve the appearance of things. A

shals, will move at 11 o'clock up Fay

AN IMPORTANT CIRCULAR.
The following letter has been issued

reliable nature has reached us, that a
jute combine has been renewed upon
a more extensive scale than formerly,
denominated the American Manufac
turing Co., in which perhaps all prin
cipal jute bagging manufacturers are
interested, by which they propose to
force on the cotton producer for the
year 1890 their put out. And,
"Whereas, it is absolutely net-essay
that whatever should be done to pre
vent the same and to be efficient, be
done at the earliest possible day.
Therefore we the undersigned, most
earnestly request the Presidents of
each State Alliance to have a decided
.expression from their 12 b-Alliances,
Wheels and Unions, in favor of the
exclusive use of cotton bagging for
the year 1890, and report the same to
a convention at St. Louis on Decem
ber 4th, next, at 10 a. m. said conven
tion to be composed of the Presidents of
each State Alliance, Wheel or Union, or
such representatives as they may select,
and one or more delegates from each
cotton exchange in the United States to
take into consideration and settle the
question of tare on cotton covered bales
and to establish a standard cotton bag
ging. We earnestly request the Hon.
Evan Jones, President of the Farmers,
and Laborers' Union of America, to in
vite each cotton exchange in the United
States to send properly accredited del
egates to said convention. In the event
that the cotton exchanges refuse or neg
lect to participate in said convention
then the delegates representing the pro
ducers shall proceed to fix the tare and
prescribe a standard cotton bagging to
which all Alliance men will uncompro
misingly adhere. This action is neces
sary that manufacturers of cotton bag
ging may be enabled lo supply the de
mand at reasonable prices. Let Sub
Alliances take action immediately."
