THE REV. SAM JONES

for a Flahl---HoW the RumOs
Came About.

New York. March PA Times
Cartersyilc. Ga, special says.
a street fight Is looked for every DAY
between ROY Sam Jones, evangelist,
aud Rev. Dobbs, n Baptist pastor.
A feud of many years standing has ex-
listed between the reverend gentlement
Intensified by scandal, which Terminated
la a church trial last December, in which
Rev. Mr. Washburn, a Methodist PASTOR
was acquitted. Dobbs said that he had
been whitewashed.
The occasion Of the investigation was
some unsigned letters which had been
sent to the Jones family, the authorship
OF which had been attributed TO Wash
burn By Dobbs. but in which charge
Jones took no stock. Lately Dobbs has
renewed his criticisms, aud this led to a
sermon by Jones last Sunday which has
been the talk Of the town. Jones, after
denOuncing DObbs denounced the nc
cusation against Mr.. Washburn as q
"damnble lie" and said the affair had
gone far enough that II II did not stop
right whore II was. Sam Jones might
have all his feathers stamped of him
before Saturday night. The preacher
was loudly chCered. IL Is denied by the
preachers themselves. but il Is asserted
by their close friends that both carry
pistols and are ready for self-defense.
Tho scandal is one which has extended
to churches. neither Baptist nor MethO-
dists speaking as they pass by.

weekly review of trade viii say:
The state OF affairs throughout the
United States indicates that dizziness Is
characteristic in the South Atlantic and
Gulf states. Wheat continues deprcss-
cd. Notwithstanding the alleged strength
Of the Chicago pit. The tendency of
the exports Of wheat from both coasts
each week Is toward n decrease IN the
total. For the six business days ending
March 23. being 2,7GG,0OO bushels of
wheat and flour. compared with 2,5S3,-
600 bushels last week and about the
same amount the week before. II Is
becoming more and more evident that
the bull crowd ut Chicago must depend
for success upon u corner in storage
room, rather than the ability to buy all
the wheat offered.
At New Orleans, notwithstanding the
recent convention there to advocate u
reduction Of cotton acreage, the impress
sion prevails that the cotton acreage
will be larger than last year.
Az Boston jobbcrs in cotton are or
dcring heavily from manufacturers and
cOnverters continue TO take large lines
