The Great Tent Meeting-Sam Jones and
 MT. Stewart Helping.
 Piedmont, Nov. 4.-(Special Correspond ence.)-Piedmont is undergoing great spiritual awakening. Rev. R. c. George, of Gadsden, Ala, and Prof. J. L. Sims, of Hopeville, Ga., the advance force of Jones and Stewart, came in Friday and opened fire on the enemy.
 Rev. Mr George is preaching with great power and doing splendid work. He seems in every way familiar with the work and equal to the task. Something over hundred professions of faith have been counted, and penitents crowd the altar in the great tent.
 Prof. Sims is conducting the music. His splendid talent as solo singer and his exceptional skill in directing music is the admiration of the great crowds who flock to the tent
 The tent is brilliantly lighted with cleo tric lights. The large tent is the property of Rev R. c. George and is used in his re- vival work.
 Sam Jones and George Stewart are ex- pected in tomorrow.

"A ROWERY GIRL"

"A Bowery Girl' is the best type of the New York play known to the stage. It's scenes are truthful, vivid and exciting, while never over-stepping the reasonable proba bilities. The story of the play Is laid in New York city, and the many character types are sharply defined and it's dialogue abounds in quaint humor and familiar sayings to those acquainted with city life in New York. Last season "A Bowery Grip was one of the big suc cesses on the road and this year the man. ager, Harry Williams, has secured by far a stronger company, headed by the clever singing and dancing soubrette, Florrie West, who will play the title role Ar arrangements have been made to present "A Bowery Girl' at the opera house Thursday, Nov. 5.

BUTLER DENIES.
Says He Never Made the Remark At
tribtted to Him.

Washington, Sept. 15.-When the at
tention of Senator Butler was called. to-
day to the report that he had written
Congressman Howard, of Alabama, that
Sewall would be withdrawn, he replied:
"Mr. Howard is mistaken if he is cor
rectly reported in the dispatch. If any
such statement was sent out from here it
was sent without my authority. Moth
ing would give me more pleasure than to
have Mr.. Sewall withdraw, as his with
drawal would remove an element of fric-
ton from the campaign and make the
election of Bryan certain, but the matter
rests entirely with Mr.. Sewall"
Referring to report fl ON Greensboro,
n. c., quoting him as saying that it was
n mistake for the Populists to have NOM
mated Bryan, Senator Butler said: II
have never made such statement The
party could not have selected better
man than Mr.. Bryan even from it's own
ranks. Furthermore, after he had been
nominated by the Democrats and already
had several million votes pledged to him
he was the only man the Populists had
any chance of electing to the Presidency
this year The only way that we could
make our votes effective in defeating Nc
Kinley and the gold standard was by
nominating and supporting Bryan, and
the duty of every American patriot who
believes in American independence and
who opposes the British gold standard is
to vote for him.
The Senator declined to discuss the
statement in the same report that there
would probably be no fusion between the
Populists and Democrats of North Caro-
lima on the electoral ticket further than
to say that the State will poll it's electoral
vote against Mckinley.

dead. My wife heard me say Mrs.

freezing the last potato in the cellar.
The same morning gave you the ar
ticle you criticise you promised If
would send little copy occasionally
you would hold me guiltless Of any
misstatement that should creep in.
You should remember dear editor
the wire runs through Beetown aud
Bloomington on the way to your office.
And how can you expect Joe Smith
to strain out all the misspelled words?
They go through his phone to quick.
Joe wouldn't allow it if he could help
it, but he can't helpit. | would like
to say that Charlie Smith and Miss
Hall were married here Wednesday,
that Henry Klienpell is the happy
father of fine girl; that Mr.. Crouch,
Ben Stevens and Mrs Frank Duncan
are all quite sick; but | am afraid
you would have Bill Trollope married

On The Mississippi.
BeecIer

The Dubuque Herald says the Da-
mond Joe line will have good sized
fleet in commission next summer, and
as stated. ii will have boats enough
on the upper river to give it good
service, but there will be no effort to
Guido, or even TO equal the old time
service rendered by that line, and
there is no show of additional enter
prise outside of this company. The
raft boats it is needless to say, are
growing fewer and fewer year by year,
as the business of the sawmills de-
crease, as the mills themselves are
closed, probably never to be opened
again. The day Of the decadence Of
the Mississippi rivers traffic has not
passed yet. 1t has been decaying for
good many years, but it has rot
got the bottom yet. When all but
the northern mills are closed, which
viii happen inside a few years, and
only lumber RATS pass here, there
will he few boats left to ply the water
of the old river, compared with the
days that have passed And still
there will always be some business on
the river, and improvements in en-
gines and propelling gear may revive
its old time popularity as an avenue
