DEATH or REV. SAM JONES
Noted Southern Evangelist Sue.
cumbed to Heart Trouble.
SAYINGS MADE HIM FAMOUS
Was on His Way to His Home In
Georgia to Celebrate the Ami
versary Of His Birth.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. Oct l6. sam
Jones. the noted evangelist, died In an
Oklahoma. Choctaw aud Gulf train
near Little Rock.
Mr.. Jones had been conducting a
most successful revival at Oklahoma
City, /. r., and left there for his home
In Georgia. He desired to attend 3
family reunion today, being the fifty
ninth anniversary of his birth.
Mrs. Jones and his daughters, Mrs
Annie Pyron and Miss Julia Jones,
were with him when he passed away
Mr.. Jones arose from his berth in the
sleeping car about 8 o'clock in the
morning and complained OF nausea.
He drank a glass of hot water and i'm
mediately afterward collapsed. The
Rev. Walt Holcomb, who had been
associated with Mr.. Jones for 4 num-
Der of years, took the dying man In his
arms, and in few minutes the evan
gelist breathed his last.
Mr.. Jones home was at Cartersville,
| Ga.
! Samuel Porter Jones was born In
| Chambero county. Ala. Oct III. 1877.
| He moved to Gainesville. Ca, in 1859
and ten years later was admitted to
the Georgia bar. His health broke
down, and he began to drink, wrecking
his career as a lawyer. La 1872 he pro
fessed religion and became clergy
man In the NJ E. Church. South.
Subsequently he devoted most of his
| time to evangelist work, holding re-
vival services in almost every city in
the United States. His success as q
revivalist was marvellous. His power
over his audiences was that of man
inspired.
His unconventional style of speak
ing Is shown in some of the following
aphorisms. which have made bis ser
| mons famous:
I'VE see God all around us. The
mountains are Gods thoughts upheay-
ed The rivers are Gods thoughts in
motion. The oceans are Gods thoughts
imbedded. The dewdrops are Gods
thoughts in pearls

some cows have horns and some are

"You don't believe what you don't
see. Did you ever see your backbone?
'The hardest things for me to believe
are the Ten Commandments and the
sermon on the mount.
Custom is the law of fools and Is

ought to have been in hell long before
he had children born unto him.

that the democrats need not lay the
hattering junction. to their souls that
the proceedings of the county conven-
tion Saturday afternoon would result
in disaffection in the ranks of the re-
publicans. and thus enhance the
chances of democratic success. He
declared that the republicans had
buried their differences, and would
present solid front to the common
enemy ourinR the present campaign.
In presenting Secretary Shaw to the
audience Mr.. Lindsay said that the
ewes of the country were on the dis.
ttiuguished visitor. and that many
persons regarded him as the logical
successor to President Roosevelt.
When Mr.. Shaw began TO speak he
referred to the disappointment small
audience, which evidently had some
effect upon his spirits for a few
minutes but after the first few sem
fences he warmed TO his work, and in
his preliminary talk he was pointed,
humorous and entertaining. While
covering wide range of subjects,
he devoted some time to the railroad
question, and spoke with especial
reference to the laws enacted bv the
repLblican party toward regulating
the railroads and preventing discrimi.
nation. A portion of his speech was
devoted to a review of the tariff ques-
ton, and on this point he claimed
that much of the prosperity of the
country was entirely due to the opera
tion of the present tariff law. He
drew a strong parallel between tha
last democratic administration and
the present republican administration.
and pointed out the vast difference in
the condition of affairs in this coun-
try. Continuing, Secretary Shaw
said
Pour specific laws have been passed
especially designed to protect the poo.
pie from corporate extortion. ard cor
porete discrimination. These are the
interstate commerce law. the Sherman
antitrust law, the Elkins rebate
law, and the rate law passed by the
last session of congress. In addition
TO this an act was passed in 1903
giving suits for the enforcement of
any of the provisions of these acts
precedence over other litigation, and
authorizing the department Of Justice
and the courts to exDediate their
hearing and determination. All five
of these laws are Of republican origin
and all but the first were passed
when both houses of conRress were
controlled by that party and even the
exception could not have been passed
but for republican votes.
Opinion will probably differ as to
the relative benefits to the people
from these several enactments. The
Sherman antitrust law is very broad
and comprehensive. Some years
elapsed before we fully appreciated its
wonderful scope and comprehensive
ness. 1t does not specify the things
that cannot be done, bnt in specific
terms forbids the doing OF anything
which may result in eliminating COM
