Evangelist Silenced Him.
Winston Sentirel, 23d.

Winston Sentirel, 23d.
Last night on the train from
Salisbury to Greensboro was a
man who said he was drummer.
He was very mouthy, telling
how he sold so many goods, towit:
by carving around with him a
few three cent cigars and a pint
of mean corn whiskey by which he
said he could fool any Southern
buyer, rs they had but little serse.
He talked loudly and many in the
car heard him. Finally he said
the preachers all drank and he
had often had them drink with him
from n bottle when out of their
congregations. Sitting a few seats
behind the drummer was Evan
Selist Lee, who could not stand
such an imputation, so he pro-
ceeded to make few remarks,
the gist of which was that the man
was slandering the people of the
South and in short was telling u
falsehood.
The drummer said were it not
for Mr. Lees clerical robe he
would wipe up the ground with
him. Mr. Lee told the man not to
consider his clerical coat as he
could protect himself. OF course
the man did not avail himself of
the offer, but Capt. r B Glenn,
OF Winston, who was standing by,
full Of indignation, rer,e-kso sba.
be was no preacher, but lawyer,
and he wanted to repeat that what
he (the drummer) had said about
the people of this part of the
country and especially the minis
tors, was a downright falsehood
and If he wanted to take it up for
him to pitch in, there being no
clerical robes in the way.
