The Rev. Thomas Dixon, OF New York.
pulpit orator who thrives on sensation
alism, preached Sunday on "the Savannah
Riots and Religious Intolerance" From
the title of his subject. it is easy to see
that he got his stock of information about
the affair from reading the headlines over
the sensational dispatches sent the
northern papers. That the rever-
end ranter did not understand what he
was talking about is further illustrated
by this extract from his remarks: "Tbis
ex-priest, or alleged x-priest-Slatterv-
might have been wrong, but when the
mayor of Savannah refused to let him
speak in the hall he had hired. he did a
greater wrong. That mayor and all who
aided him committed a serious violation
Of the law. They deprived that man and
his wife of their constitutional rights. Lib
erty and freedom of speech are guaranteed
by the constitution of the United States to
all" Probably everybody who reads
newspapers, except the Rev. Thomas Dix
on, knows that the mayor of Savannah
defended the right of free speech per
fecty. even calling out the militia for the
purpose. If this preacher is as careless
with his reading of the scriptures as he
is with his reading of the newspapers to
find subjects for sermons, his congrega-
ton need to be warned that they are fol-
lowing a dangerous leader. It seems to
be his purpose TO reach for sensations at
the expense Of accuracy

Dr. Parkhurst deplores the cessation of
the old style Of preaching. in which hell
was pictured in glowing colors, and the
certainty of retribution and eternal suf-
fering were mirrored before the impeni-
tent sinner. This calls to mind a rather
pungent and often quoted remark, at
tributed to the famous agnostic, Ingerson.

ISOLATION of superheated eternity. If

A Hopeful Outlook.

The prospect that the projected cotton
mill at Southover Junction will soon be
under construction is much brighter. All
who are Interested in that enterprise are
very much encouraged in regard to f..
They have never doubted that it would be
built sometime. They were satisfied that
the advantages Of its location are such that
IT was certain eventually to command the
attention of capitalists. even if they could
not themselves raise the money with which
to build it.
The arrangements that Mr.. j. /. What
ley, the leading man in the undertaking.
has made at the north for assistance. are
now promising better than even the most
sanguine hoped for, taking into considera-
ton the existing depression in all kinds of
business.
Yesterday Mr.. Whatley received a letter
from the gentleman in Massachusetts,
who has charge of the mills interests at
the north. In the course of the letter this
gentleman says: you may rest assured
that am going to work hard for your
mill. 1 am in correspondence with a party
who is to assist me in raising the money,
and who says it will not be as hard to raise
it as might be expected. Tell your people
that you are going to have the mill sure.
and that by June they will see brick lay
ing begun"
This is certainly encouraging. The writer
of the letter is a practical mill man. being
the superintendent of one of the large mills
at East Hampton, Mass 1t would not be
at all surprising if a big mill were being
operated at Southover within two years.

Mr. w. Z. Mitchell, of Sumter county.
in this state does not despair because
cotton is cents a pound. He says he
can make money at raising cotton at
that price, and expects to plant a greater
acreage this year than ever before. And
this is his plan for making money from
cotton at cents a pound: He raises
plenty of meat. corn and farm produce
at home. never stops his mules from farm
work except to so to mill. doesn't lose
any time hauling provisions from town
with his teams, and instead Of attending
conventions TO be told by others how
much cotton 70 plant. he spends the time
on his farm looking after his hands.
This recipe, which is not copyrighted.
might be advantageously adopted in a
great many cases.

The epidemic of smallpox in the west,
reported in our dispatches from day to
day, seems to be giving that section quite
as much trouble as the grip is giving the
east. The south, so far, has luckily es-
capped any serious visitation of epidemic
disease since the Brunswick epidemic Of
yellow fever. which was confined within
close bounds. 1t is to be hoped that the
south's good fortune will continue.

After all of the racket that has been
made in the press about the capture of
those officers of the Concord by Chinese
at Chin Kiang, it transpires that the in
cident amounted to nothing. One of the
officers accidentally put a load of bird
shot into the leg of Chinese boy, and
was arrested for his carelessness. The
wound was only slight and the officer
was almost Immediately released. So
Insignificant was the affair that it was not
even reported by the commandant of the
Concord. II some of the terrible war

no better based than was this Concord

OIL NEWS.

Oil men are like gold hunters and the
scenes Of the earlier days of the petro-
leum business are being re-enacted in
the SistersviIe field now and on a
small scale it represents the mad rush
to- a newly discovered gold field. That
little 3OX16 miles oil field has been a
teaser 10 the men transplanted from
the home of the business, the Key
stone State" This old field proper
was thought TO have been the begin
ming and end Of the pool, but it has
shown how that was a bad guess. Oil
men have guessed again and again
and they are still guessing and asking
what next2' Where neXt?'
The SiStersville field has been a
veritable Eldorado for the wild cater.
First il was big stuff at and around
Sistorsville. Then rush was made
for the Ohio side The strikes there,
which are of too recent a date TO re-
count. made the wise men say the
Ohio side was the salvation Of The fu-
ture of the field and the wild cater
pushed on and up and down until the
ground was pierced here and there a
distance of sixteen miles from the
river with not altogether satisfactory
results from a producers standpoint.
During all this time there was one oil
man who had but little faith in the
Ohio side. but banked more heavily
on ahead of developments on West Nlr-
ginia. That man was Col John j. Car
ter who made a round million in Sis
tersville on production and sale TO the
Standard. He always contended that
the big pool was yet to be struck in
the field and that it would not be far
from out where Tyler county joins
DOddridge. He sent his agents out and
they secured leases on about 1000
acres. This started the rush and
everything in sight was grabbed up.
The first test we'll was no good, but
Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1895-05-10

which is now earning Murphy & Jen-
nings nearly $500 day.
The only obstacle in drilling out in
the new part of the field is lack OF
water. The Sancho will furnish all
that is necessary this summer, save
that an unprecedented drouth will be
experienced. So that the wild and
woolly story that fourteen miles of
pipe will have TO be laid to the Ohio
river is q remote contingent.
The 'Keeners" on Middle Island, are
still keeping up their gait The Hol-
mes have fallen off trifie, but the
Mckay is keeping up her record.
The news on the Ohio side can be
dismissed in a few words. Myers
Zipp is doing nine barrels and Moore
& Simmons on the same farm, has
got down to a fifteen barrel producer.
In consequence of this renewed ex-
element, Sistersville is booming and
full of prospectors, while MiddlebOurne
near the new pool is actually in the
swim and hotel accommodations at
both places are inadequate

Col Carter learned one thing that was
worth every cent the we'll cost TO put
down. He found 100 feet of the best
sand ever brought up from any oil
we'll in his experience of thirty years.
The second we'll on the Tom Freeland
farm on Owls Head shows where the
pool is. The sand is the Big Ingun
and the pay" as good as was ever
struck The we'll came in last Thurs
day. 1t got down to business at once
by throwing two streams over the der
rick, and as it splaShed down over the
timbers and ground it showed that it
is the best quality of parahne petro-
leum.
Ne well has been pumped for several
days.\ Yesterday, according to the oil
mems reports, it was doing 100 bar
rels. Actual measurement in the tank
showed that she made IS barrels. The
Freeland has sent the oil men in that
direction in droves. Unheard of prices
are being paid for leases. Farmers
who few years ago thought $40 an
acre bonanza price for their farms
now actually receive more than that
for leases. AS an instance, yesterday
1871 acres commanded a cash bonus of
$500 and monthly rental of $1O0
Operations will be lively there this
summer. Col. Carter will drill several
wells, and other firms have made loca-
tons. The excitement mas also spread
TO where the big Moses gasser is locat-
ed. Moses & Wilson wisely have de-
cided TO drill a well on the Bauer farm
farm. The word wisely is used advis-
eddy, because it is on a line and very
close to the famous Hardman well.
