SAM JONES IN SAvAN-
NAH NEXT MONTH.
VIII Come on a Peaceful Mission
and Not as Evangelist.


Rev. Sam Jones will be in Savan-
nah in May on his summer lecturing
tour, which will be among the most
extensive he has Travelled since enter
ing the lecture field. The announce
ment that he is coming, at times car
ries with it terror to the evildoer,
against whom he hurls shafts that
causes him to be remembered, but this
time he comes on a peaceful mission.
Sam Jones preached in Savannah
two years ago, when he conducted
probably the most largely attended Sc
ries of meetings ever held here. He
came again later as a lecturer, and
was greeted by a large audience in
the Guards Hall. He will be at the
Savannah Theater on the night of
May "a with his latest and most sue
cessful lecture, Medley of Philosophy,
Facts and Fun" which is said to be
one of his best. 1t is said he does
not roast with the same severity that
characterized his previous discourses,
and in his lectures only attacks the
audiences when they are small.
Mr.. Jones will come under local
auspices. He makes none of the ar
rangements himself, however, as this
is left to the Southern Lyceum Bureau
or Louisville, which offers him as one
of it's chief lecture attractions of the
season. Wherever he went last sea-
son his appearance was a pronounced
financial success. Speaking of his en-
gagement, a Texas paper said that
Sam Jones' hearers were thoroughly
entertained from COW catcher to ca
boose.> Sam Jones, whether in the
pulpit or on the platform, in the par
lor or around the camp fire, is always
entertaining, always amusing, always
instructive. How this is so-wherein
lies his power to be all these things
is a great mystery. He furnished in
one lecture more fun than two come
dams; more philosophy than four uni
versities; more gospel than half doz-
en- theological seminaries, and almost
as much common sense as the mother
of a big family of country boys"
Sam Jones is said to have made a
large amount of money during the
last two years on the lecture plat
form, and aside from his comfortable
home and other property at Carriers
Vile, he is an owner of real estate
elsewhere, together with good
sprinkling of dividend-paying securi-
ties. While he is said to have made
money as an evangelist, his lectures
have drawn like porous plasters," and
put much grist into his mill.
Mr.. Jones will not appear at any
of the churches during his visit to
Savannah, at least as a speaker. AS
he will be filling his regular engage
ments then he will probably prepare
after his engagement at the theater
to pitch his tent elsewhere.

Ionic columns, five feet in diameter,
and forty-tive feet high, surmounted by
an entablature and attic.
The attic is enriched by eight colossal

FALLING WALL STRUCK
NEGRO LAB0RER.
First Accident on Work Mt the City
Exchange.

First Accident on Work mt the City
Exchange.
Benjamin Bennett, one of the negro
laborers employed in tearing down the
City Exchange, was caught by part
of falling wall early yesterday after
noon and severity injured.
Bennett, with several other negroes
was at work just in the rear of the
Exchange, clearing away the brick
and trash. The warning was given
that another portion of the wall was
to be pulled down and the negroes
moved back out of the way.
Bennett did not go as far as his
companions, and several of the fall
ing bricks struck him. He was
knocked down, his head was cut and
he received internal injuries. 1t is
thought. however. that he will re-
cover.
When the wall fell there was a cloud
of dust, so that the negro could not
be seen after he was first hit. He
crawled out of the debris himself. He
was sent to his home at No. 563 Will
liams street in the police ambulance.

METHODIST EXTENSION
MOVEMENT TO BEGIN SOON.
Rev. j. A. Smith Has Returned From
Studies in New York.

Within comparatively short time
the movement for the extension of
Methodism in Savannah will begin.
Rev. ]. A. Smith, formerly pastor of
Epworth Methodist Church and now
missionary pastor and assistant pastor
of Trinity Methodist Church, has re-
turned from his studies in New York,
and will begin his new duties almost
at once.
An outline of the plan which the
Methodists have inaugurated has been
published heretofore in the Morning
News. The first step toward making
Trinity Church an open church and
the center of the institutional move
ment was taken several days ago
when it was decided to keep the doors
open during the entire day. Writing
materials and newspapers will be add
ed and the idea of using the church
as a restroom encoura ged. Epworth
Church in the southern section of the
city has taken a step in the same di-
rectiOn.

REMEDY FOR RING POLITICS.

IN a conversation with represeh-

a local attorney said that the greatest
curse of this country today is ring
nolitics. and the Graphic heartily
agrees with him. The gentleman said
he had only one solution Of the prob
lem, and he believed that it would ef=
fectively solve the question. Briefly
stated his plan is as follows:
Make the term of every office, how
ever small, period of four years, and
make the incumbent ineligible for re-
election to the same Office OF to any
other Office at the expiration OF MS
lncumbency That is, person IN OIL
fee cannot be reelected to that or
any other office until he had remained
out of Office at least four years.
He says that he believes III paEi!-s
good salaries, but he does no; 'clieve
in the fee system of salaries, Def"4se
it opens up too great an oppOrthrIt:
for rascality. Under the fee system
the official may overcharge, as has no
doubt been done in many instances
His plan is not without its Sooi
points, and We have never heard
better one 10 prevent ring politics,
but as the lawyer said himself, i IS
not probable that there will ever be
a law providing for office holding a
he suggests, as il would require
new state constitution and the poll
ticians would be elected to make the
new constitution. and the politicians
would be opposed to such a Law, as
it would put them out OF business.
hence they would defeat it in the con
s1itutional convention.
