HOW CARTWRIGHT EARNED A SUIT OF
CLOTHES.
Cartwright's writings betray the expect
ed spirit of religious rivalry and sectarian
zeal which is well known to have been
prevalent in all rural communities at the
period under review. His special aversion
seems to have been the Baptists, prob
ably his strongest competitors in the field
of backwoOds evangelism. He relates with
manifest gusto one of his encounters with
a minister of that denomination, who, he
says was tolerably able man, and n
great proselyter from other churches, who
ardently advocated immersion as the only
mode of Christian baptism, and loved to
ridicule what he called baby sprinkling" !"
Cartwright had an appointment for a
camp-meeting in this circuit in what was
called Poplar Grove. There was widow,
member of the Methodist Church, who
lived there; and this Baptist preacher had
long tried his best to make q Baptist of
her. She at length wearied Of his water
talk, and told him if he would come to the
camp-meetingr and patiently hear the Pre-
siding Elder, Peter Cartwright, preach n
sermon on baptism on Sunday, she would
give him new ,sait of clothes. He agreed
to it; but he was,to sit patiently, and hear
the sermon through; if he failed in this he
was not to have the clothes
Cartwright Isays: "When got to the
camp-ground, fHns1 little spunky Methodist
widow was tented on the ground. She
came and invited me to her tent, and then
told me the proposition she had made to
Mr.. W.. the Baptist preacher. And now,'
said she, 'doeyaur best; if he runs, the
suit of clothes is yours; and if he stands
his ground, ana Spu do your very best, you

'This was very large encampment,
well arranged; and there were about 20
strong, talented Methodist preachers, from

ENSLEY.
Output of Steel Plant Breaks Records.
 Due to MT. Lemont.

Ensley, October 1.-tSpecial)- 1.-The out put at the steel plant last week broke all former records. While 1t is impossi- ble to obtain any figures from the com pany, it is generally admitted that the amount of steel turned out broke all for mer records.
 It is said that much credit for this excellent condition of affairs is due to the skill of J. c. Lemont, the superintendent of the open hearth furnaces, who since he has resumed the management of that department, about two weeks ago, after an absence of about six months, has put all the furnaces in operation that has enabled the blooming mill to run on full time.
 MT. Lemont has been with the company for three years and is considered one of the best authorities on steel manufacture in the south. He Is a man of pleasant address and has won the friendship of all who know him. and is very popular with all the people of Ensley.
