A MILD BLIZZARD.

Tuesday of last week summer was
nipped in the bud, and winter came in
with whirl. All along Tidewater frost
appeared that night, and every night
since.
Wednesday SHOWS were reported in
Ohio, Indiana, New York, Pennsylvania
and even Virginia. In some places
North they reached a depth of four
inches. In many cities of the North il
was the coolest October day on record
while from the South came the infor-
nation that overcoat weather and frost
prevailed as far down as Georgia.
Cleveland, Ohio, had blizzard and
six inches of snow Tuesday, and the
results were felt Wednesday far to the
South.
The heaviest snowfall ever known to
occur in that locality in the month of
October fell at Clarksburg, w. Va.
Snow fell in Fauquier county, Va.
and the mountains around Bedford CITY.

Sam JONES DEAD.
Noted Evangelist Succumbs to
Heart Failure While travelling
in Arkansas.

Rev. Sam p. Jones, the well known
evangelist, of Cartersville, Ca, died
Monday morning of heart failure in a
sleeping car near Perry, Ark. Mr..
Jones had been conducting most sue
cessful revival at Oklahoma City, O.
T., and left there Sunday night for his
home in Georgia. He desired to at
tend a family reunion Tuesday, it be-
ing the fifty-ninth anniversary of his
birth.
Mrs. Jones and his daughters, Mrs.
Annie Pyron and Miss Julia Jones,
We're with him when he passed away.
Mr.. Jones arose from his berth in
the morning, and complained of nau-
sea. He drank glass of hot water,
and Immediately afterward collapsed.
The funeral services were conducted
at Gainesville by Rev. George Stuart,
and j. A. Bowen, of Mississippi, and
Rev. Walt. Holcomb.
Mr.. Jones, commonly known as Sam
Jones, was born in Chambers county,
Ala, October 10th, 1S47. He was ad-
mitted to the Georgia bar in 1869, but
his drinking habits put an end to his
career as a lawyer. Becoming con-
verted in 1872, he was admitted to the
ministry of the Methodist Church, South,
the same year. Thereafter he de-
voted himself to evangelistic work with
marked success, his eccentricities OF
speech and manner contributing some
what to his popularity. He published
a number of books, including "Ser.
mons and Sayings" Emusic Hall Ser
mons, "Sam Jones' Own Book, +" and
others. Referring to the drink which
ruined his career as a lawyer, Sam
Jones described himself as "the wick.
eldest young man in Georgia" 81 was

THE BAY STRIKE ENDED.

The people of Baltimore, and more
especially those in tidewater Maryland
and Virginia, are to be congratulated
upon the endof the steamboat embargo
and the resumption of business. While
the steamboat companies and their
employees have both suffered loss by the
interruption of work, the principal loss
and inconvenience have fallen upon the
public. Many merchants in Baltimore
have lost trade; hundreds of men have
been forced into idleness; the food sup
ply of the city has been affected; farmers
have been unable to get their fertilizers
for the wheat crop; great deal of per-
ishable freight, such as fruit and vege-
tables, has been lost and destroyed
utterly. The embargo should
never have occurred. If the same spirit
that ended the contention had mani
tested itself in the beginning, all the
loss which has resulted would have been
avoided and bitterness and strife would
not have arisen. There should be no
condition permitted which can or is
likely to result in strike that causes
so much loss to the public and so much
Inconvenience. The people are entitled
to have the avenues of trade kept open
for their use, and some methods should
be devised by which this can always be
done. If a strike concerned only the
two parties engaged in it, namely, the
employers and employees, the outside
public could look upon it with COM
placency and offer no objection to their
exhibition of obstinacy. But =
when the lines of communication which
bring food and commerce to big city
and carry crops to market and supplies
to thousands of families are suddenly
closed, when farmer finds that he has
lost good part of his years work by
the failure of the steamboats, to trans
port his perishable crops, the interest of
the public in such a strike is apparent.
Such things as the embargo just ended
should never happen, and when they do
happen people have a right to conclude
that they come from the unreasonable
ness of someone. Baltimore Sun.

these lines. will have to "pay the

POLITICAL.

When Gov. Swanson was making his
campaign for the democratic nomina-
ton for governor, the strongest impress
sion made by him was when he discussed
the States natural resources and their
possible development. He satisfied his
hearers that if elected governor he
would put new life into the State, and
take steps that would result in material
growth. Swanson is living up to his
promise. -Staunton Dispatch.
Central Republican League, Rich
mond colored voters, is trying to
influence colored voters to refrain from
voting for Geo. A Hanson, Republican
nominee for Congress, because of his
utterances in reference to the negro
vote. In this speech he practically told
the negroes that they were no longer
wanted in the party. The True Re
former, negro organ, has some out
against Hanson. The Planet says that
it is preferable for negroes to vote for
such men as John w. Daniel and John
Lamb than for men who give voice to
such utterance as Hanson used. 1t is
probably that the negroes will also
carry the fight into the Fifth and Ninth
districts against Slemp.

Out of eighty-three Democratic
papers in New York nine have bolted
Mr.. Hearst, three are non committal,
and seventy-one will support the ticket.
Mr.. Hearst is newspaper man, a man
who has stirred up the jealousy of his
competitors because he has prospered
when they struggled for existence. He
caught the New York World stealing
his dispatches and publishing them as
its own during the Spanish war, and
convicted it before the public. Recently
he exposed the filth of an advertising
column in the N. Y. Herald, and showed
its corrupt indecency. 1t is needless to
say that these journals will be against
him. Mr.. Hearst has a magazine. the
Cosmopolitan, in which he has laid bare
the crimes committed by u. S. Senators.
These will not support him. He has
made many enemies, but on the other
hand he has made many friends. His
charities to the poor of New York CITY
excel those of most any other individ-
ual. He sent train load of provisions
to Galveston when it was DESTROYED.
He did even more when San Francisco
was laid in ruins.
