SAM JONES' LECTURE.
The Versatile Georgian Pleased a
Large Audience at the College
Chapel Friday
Night.

{ Chapel Friday
Night.
The weather Friday night was
cold and frosty, and the lecture
which Sam Jones delivered at
the chapel of the Industrial In
stitute and College was as crisp
and as bracing as the wind that
blew in the faces of his hearers
as they journeyed to and from
the college. Mr.. Jones was in
troduced by Rev. l.. NJ. Broyles,
pastor of the First Methodist
church, who stated that the sub
iect for the evening was A Med :
ley of Philosophy, Facts and
Fun The lecture, however,
could have been called by any
other name just at well. 1t was
conglomeration of half witty.
half serious and at times more
than half suggestive sayings and
was characteristic of the man
who delivered it.
or experienced platform enter
tainers who seek to secure the
attention of their auditors from
the first and opened his lecture
with an anecdote. He said that
one day not very long since he
delivered a sermon to cOlored
people, as has been his custom
for many years past, and that at
the conclusion of the lecture an
old negress came up to cOngrat-
ulate him. She was big and fat
and greasy, and according to the
speaker she said: Mr.. Jones,
you sho am a powerful preacher;
you not only breaches to de white
folks but you breaches to de mig
gers. and bless God you preach
.es mo- like a niger dan any
white man l cher heard. Your
face may be white but your heart
am black, Mr.. Jones, you suah
is like a nigger."
The above is only one of the
the many anecdotes which the
speaker told and serves to give a
very good idea of what the lee
ture really was. Mr.. Jones is
more of punster than a preach
er. and it seems to be his policy
to secure the good will of the peO-
pie by abusing them. evidently
believing firmly in the old adage
that the more you beat woman
and a dog the better they'll love
you. He said some rather hard
things Friday night, and though
they were said in jest there is no
doubt of the fact that he caused
some of his hearers to feel a little
bit uncomfortable. No one was
for every person in Co
lum bus knows Sam Jones by |
and many of our cit
izens know him personally. They |
all knew exactly what they were
to hear and looked at the matter |
from a philosophical stand point. |
They laughed at the Jones jokes
and allowed the Jones jibes to /
pass with as little resentment as
possible.
Sam Jones has one very extra
quality, he is original. |
He has a lot of stuff and gets it
off in a manner that cannot fail |
to provoke laughter. The peo-
pie like to laugh. and the large
and brilliant audience which
was present Friday night enjoy
en- his jokes and witicisms to the
fullest extent.

DON'T JUDGE roo HARsHLY

The case of alleged assault OF
member Of the city police upon an en-
listed man attached to the Marine
BARRACKS AT the Naval Academy in ar
resting the latter for violation OF
CITY ordinance, should receive the
careful consideration of the board.
A. the most of the enlisted men at
tacbed TO the Naval Academy are
strangers and when visiting the city
on liberty generally frequent the sa-
looms. where they spend their leisure
time in card playing or in some other
eocial games and through social drink
inc become intoxicated and OCCASION
allv ret noisy or disorderly. and It
should be the duty of police officer
should he be compelled to cause the
offender TO be arrested, to use dlscre-
ton in the performance of his duty.
The offender might be contrary OF
admitted from the effect of intoxicat-
ing drinks sold to him. but the officer
should be refrained from using his
baton unless he was satisfied in ms
mind that ne was in danger OF being
injured BY his prisoner or the latter
friends The marines should not be
classified as a gang of professional dis
turbers of the peace and the case
should be promptly investigated.
