| When Sam
Jones Preaches
To I ho ICdltor:
While Sam Jonod, perhaps iho
South'* greatest evangelist, wuit con(1
it<*i i11k a revival at Thompson. Ua...
the Hon Tolit Watson was a young
lawyer In tho town and In after years
! wrote his Unprossions in the following
picturesque languaro your readers will
enjoy.
W. A Hells.
Ham berg, 8. C.
"Ill tho good year of 1X77, 8am
Jonee lit down In this veritable town
of Thompson, and began to go for the
devil and his unguis In a manner
which was entirely new to said devil;
also new to said angels.
"Some one happened to remark In
> my hearing that there was a little
preacher up at the Methodist church
who was knocking the crockery around
In a lively style, and who was dusting
[ tho Jackets of the amen coiner brethj
ren In a way which brought the doui
ble grunts out of those fuzzy fossils.
| "I was not ravenously fond of ser[
moils. When 1 heard tho same comi
monplaces droned out In the same
| lifeless manner, It requires politeness
[ to keep down yawns and nods. I didv
n't yawn the day I went to hear Sam
Jones.
t "There -he was, clad in a little
3 Jump-tail coat, and looking very much
llko the regulation preacher. He was
not In tho pulpit. He was right next J
i to the crowd, standing within the
railings, and almost In touch with his
. victims.
His head was down, as If he was
holding on to Ills chain of thought by
the teeth, but his right hand was go'
lng energetically up and down with
1 all tho grace of a pumphundle. And
[ how ho did hammer the brethren!
How he did peel the amen corner!
How he did smash their solemn self'[
conceit, their profound self-satisfac,,
tlon, their peaceful copartnership
I with the Almighty, their placid con'(vletion
that they were the trustees of
the New Jerusalem! After a while,
I with solemn, irroslstable force he
called on them to rise in public and
confess their shortcomings and kneel
' for divine grace.
I "And they knelt. With groans and
sobs, and tears, those bellweathers of
the flock, fell on their knees and cried
t aloud in their distress. Then what?
i He raked us fore and aft. He gave us
1 grape and canister and all the rest,
j He abused us and ridiculed us; he
stormed at us and laughed at us; he
, called us up-eared hounds, beer-kegs,
and whiskey soaks. He plainly said
that we were all hypocrites and liars,
and he intimated most of us would
steal.
"Oh, we had a time of it. I assure
you For six weeks, the farms and
stores were neglected, and ? Jones,
lones, Jones, was the whole thing.
"And the "i>loasa'nresnteaTuire of the
entire display of human nature was
the marked manner in which the 'a:nen
corner brethroV enjoyed his
fla> ing of us sinners.
"Well the meeting wound up. the |
cummunit) settled back into its old
ways?but it has never been the same
<ommtinity since. Gambling disap.
peared. loud profanity on the streets
was heard no more, and barnxims
were run out of the county."

I T. B. NOT CONTRACTED
FROM USE OF BOOKS
J
It Is asked from time {.o time if it
is safe to pass on books that havebeen
road by tuberculosis patients to J
I people living in other homes. In thei
[June issue of the SoCaSan Piper there
I was a story bv Dr. Arthur H Bryan'
i
i of Baltimore, who had made a series
I of laboratory tests on books used by
students.
Doctor Bryan said. Few germs of
'any kind were found on the books;
'those present weit !iiosii\ of a iiann-J
'ess variety Communicable diseases!
are passed on mainly by people and
not by objects Books that have been
. tecently handled b\ patients suffer|
lug from smallpox, scarlet fever or
j diptberia may transmit infection to
[susceptible persons There is veryi
j little (bailee for common colds, tuber-j
; ( ulosis or typhoid fever tu.be trans-i
i milted by library books or magazines
Anv viruses or bacteria present on
l
books soon die because of the absence i
of moisture, heat and the food necessary
to keep them living In most in-!
; stances disease-carrying germs soon
ease to live outside the body.
"Hands are one of tho commonest
ageiu ies in transmitting infectious j
For this reason, when a book is read,
the hands should be clean."

LIBERTY HILL SCHOOL8 LEAD '!
IN CHRISTMAS 8EAL SALE8
!
It was with some fear a measure of I
trembling that the committee appoint- i
ed to plan the Christmas Seal Sale '
among the negroes decided to try .
sending letters containing one hun- i
dred seals to a selected group of ne- <
gro citizens. The response has shown i
that the elTort was more than worth- <
while. Every letter heard from except
six contained money and the average
per letter has been seventy-six
cents?a splendid per capita rate.
Among the rural schools that have ,
made a report, the Liberty Hill school
has made the largest return?$10.Oft. ,
Unless some other school does better !
than this, It will be the third year in
succession that the Liberty Hill
school has had the best sale of Chiistmas
seals in the rural area. The
schools In Camden are expected to
make their report during this week.
Tile goal setfor-th^-'Eliristmas Seal
Sale anion'g the negro flflzpn* nf xha
county Is two hundred dollars. With
the good response that is. being made
it is practically certain that the sum
will be raised.
Kershaw county negro citizens are
to be congratulated on what they
have accomplished under the direction !
of their chairman, Prof. P. H.
Mdodana.
WOOD-BURNING STOVES
GOOD MARKET FOR WOOD;!
Clemson.' Jan. 6.?An Important I
timber outlet Is opening up for South;
Carolina farmers through the thermo-j
statically controlled wood-burning!
heaters that have been introduced on i
the market during the past few years, i
according to M H Bruner, Clemson!
extension forester j
Because these new types of heaters
have proved so successful numerous |
sales have been made in the state to.
farmers and also to persons living in!
small town.; and cve;\ in i ltlc-?.
" I he use of these wood-burning
stoves is opening up an important
market for wood." Bruner explains, i
In some of the larger cities of the)
state, such as Columbia, for example, I
numerous tanners have found it pro-i
.Citable to use their farm labor and 1
equipment for cutting, hauling, and)
selling fuelwoed from their woodlands!
tor i-e in these wood burning stoves !
"Since these stoves operate morel
effiii-ntly when hardwoods such as,
oak. mini, and hickory are used, some;
farmers are improving their wood .
lands by cutting the cull trees in a'
thinning program In the past no!
; markets were available for these;
j
| trees, but now farmers have the op-.
( portunity to soil them. Selling the1
cull hardwoods from mixed pine-hardwood
stands of timber is especially
rle-irable since more growing space isa
thereby given the pine which is usually
more valuable for commercial
purposes."
The consumption of wood for heat-' !
Ing purposes through this new type
of stove will continue to expand and
thereby help to solve the problem of
heating the home cheaply the forester
believes. Experiments show that a
cord of oak wood is about equal in
fuel value to a ton of coal. In other
words, at present prices, wood is generally
60 per cent cheaper than coal
for fuel.

FATALITY IN 31 MONTH8
Clarksburg, W. Va.,?This proud
northern West Virginia city of 30,000
Inhabitants claims the distinction of
being the nation's safest city of its
||ze for motorists and pedestrians.
Factory whistles and sirens procalmed
the passing at 31 months
without a traffic fatality. Congratulatory
messages came from National
Safety Council leaders who are investigating
Clarksburg's "safest city"
claim.
The Baltimore Sun in a three-columtj

that the American public had
a right to know wether or not President
Roosevelt planned to run for a
third term.
President Roosevelt will put it up

whether federal expenditures for relief
and simjlar purposes should be
