Want TO Hear Him Again.

Cameron (Tex..) Herald.
Last Thursday night magnificent
audience of ladies and gentlemen as,
sembled at the district court room to
hear Rev. Sam Jones lecture. All the
sitting room was taken and the gal
leries we're crowded. There were
many present who had never before
heard the celebrated preacher. 1t was
a lecture that no one but Sam Jones
could deliver It was more OF an en-
tertainment than is often heard.
Those who heard him would 90 to
hear him again, and this is safe
measure of success He talked more
than ali hour and half. lie is a
great man and great in certain way
which others cannot initiate. To
hear sam Jones you must hear him
rot by proxy. He says what he
pleases. lie has people figured down
to a minute fraction and he ieye!s tie
rough places.

Sam Jones IN Fort Worth.

Fort Worth, Morning Register.
The lecture by Rev. Sam P. Jones
at the City Hall, drew large audience,
which nearly filled the spacious audi
forum. 1t is always the unexpected
that happens, aud this Is what kept
the throng laughing over tae speaker
witty sayings, or thinking when he
let fly among them a keen shaft CT
truth. The lecture was at once enter
tanning and elevating, awakening the
noblcr sentiments and impulses of the
mind. The large audience in atten-
dance assures good financial outcome
for the benefit OF tie Church.
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1902-05-22

Almost anyone would
pay q dollar and q half or
two dollars to hear Sam
Jones in New York, Rich
mond and Norfolk, and
think nothing of it. Why not
pay q dollar to hear him
here at home i'll Scotland
Neck? Those who have paid
q dollar to hear him say
they are glad of the oppor
tunity to hear him again at
the same price. He will lee

6. Sawciety. ...

8. Shams and the Genuine.
9. Medley ofPhiiosophy, Facts
and Fun. New
The COMMONWEALTH has
tried to learn through his
bureau what subject Mr..
Jones will use, but we have
not been able to do so. What
ever he chooses as the sub.
ject of his lecture will be all
right with his audience, for
he always entertains, in
structs and elevates.
In the nine subjects named
above there is wealth OF
thought from which the
great lecturer will choose,
and whichever he chooses
his audience will be glad it
was not something else.

the early market today, We're discontin-
ned in face of the discoura ging recep-
ton which they met, and the prices were
allowed to fall back. No actual weakness
was developed. however, and the selling
was pretty well absorbed. The conspic-
nous position of Missouri Pacific was
enhanced today, and the volume of the
dealings in that stock were far in excess
of those in any other on the list. The re-
action in the market was largely due to
a better appreciation of the decrease iii
the wheat crop estimate involved in the
falling off in the spring wheat acreage.
Speculative sentiment was less hopeful,
today. regarding the position of the coal
mining controversy.
Yesterdays public statement by the OPP
