SAM ANI) BOB Story of How Sam Jones Helped Bob Taylor to Lecture IMatform rr ^ I'rider the heading of **Looking and Listening" on tho editorial page of the Atlanta Constitution of September 28, Sam W Small had the following comment on the late iSam Jones: The story has never been publicly told of how the famous Tennessean, ex-congressman and ex-governor, came to go upon the platform as a | public lyceum and chautauqua attraction. He retired from his first term as governor financially broke. He lorated in Chattanooga and set out his shingle as a lawyer, but clients did not flock to his office so that you could see them. Hob was* decidedly in the doldrums. , One day he was standing on the sidewalk in front of his office-stairway showing a downcast napect when Sam Jones, our great Georgia evangelist, walked up and greeted him cordially. Sam and Bob had several ripping tilts at Nashville, Sam criticizing hotly from the pulpit some of j the governor's acts and Bob banding him back some hot "bricks in return. Yet they were jovilly good personal friends and mutual admirers. I II M I 1 I "Bob, how are you getting on?" queried Sam. ^ And Bob frankly confessed that he was in a had way; in fact, he said he was then expecting a court officer to come and seize his office furniture and law books with a rent distress warrant. iSam said: "Bob, if you'll tfo what I tell you to do, I'll get you out of that hole und put you to walking on I velvet.M I "What must 1 do?" inquired the [ astonished exngovernor. "Let me 'put?you 011?the?lecture platform^ and your fortune iwill be ready-made for you," replied Sam. The governor balked at the proposition. He said be knew how to make a political stump speech Well enough and get away with a little after-dinner talk, but to go upon a platform to deliver a formal lecture to a -big audience of strange people? "I couldn't make it work." he protested. But Sam Jones was insistent. He told Bob to go up home in east Tennessee and put all the good ideaB and eloquence he could conjure up into a lecture, and then report to him when it was finished and Teady to be fired off. "But what will I lecture about?" asked Bob. ? "Oh, about human nature, howjH acts and what fine and funny atajH tha|>you have kn^jvn it to be gujjgB of. Call it "The Fiddle and the Bo?*fl and that iwill make everybody eurionB to hear it." | j Sam handed Bob enough money t&fl clear him from Chattanooga and thtfl arranged with the Southern LyeeuM Bureau, at liOuisville, to date Tayldfl for 100 lectures at $l(ML&nd expeni*l for each lecture. The plan through a-whooping and Bob Ttykfl was a premier attractiorl on the pltfl form until he went to the senate. W Incidentally, Ift me record tkfl Sam Jones did a similar and equtlM successful favor for General John jfl Gordon when the general needed sudfl help mighty much.
