SAM P. JONES DEAD.
The Georgia Evangelist Expires Sud-
on a Railroad Train.
Little Rock, Ark. Oct, 15.-r
Rev. Sam P. Jones, the well
known evangelist of
Ga., died early today of heart
failure in a sleeping car on the
Rock Island railroad near
Ark. Mr. Jones had been con-
ducting a revival at Oklahoma
City, and left there last night for
his home in Georgia. He de-
sired to attend a family reunion
tomorrow, it being the fifty-
ninth anniversary of his birth.
Mrs. Jones and his daughters,
Mrs. Annie and Miss Julia
Jones, were with him when he
passed away.
Mr. Jones arose from his
berth in the sleeper about five
o'clock this morning and com-
plained of nausea. He drank a
glass of hot water and
afterward collapsed. Rev.
Walt Holcomb. who had been
associated with Mr. Jones for a
number of years, took the dying
man in his arms and in a few
minutes the evangelist breathed
his last. The body was em-
and was sent to Carters-
ville this afternoon.

y was day
for the Democrats of Pitt county.
The county candidates were at
Ayden on that day, and with
them was Hon. Lee S. Overman,
the junior United States Senator
from North Carolina. Senator
Overman spoke to a large and
enthusiastic crowd, numbering
over four hundred. He was
listened to with best attention
and his speech accomplished
much good.

man spoke to a i t crow; in

Senator Overman then took up
National issues, dealing mainly
with the tariff, referring to Sec-
Shaw speaking in North
Carolina in favor of protection
and Secretary Taft speaking in
Maine in favor the revision of
the tariff. The Republican par-
did not bring prosperity no
party can bring it. Prosperity
or panics are the outcome of con-
He then used
strong illustrations to show how
the tariff takes money from the
people and puts it in the
pockets of the trusts. The

treasury, but goes to the
trust magnates to reward

North Carolina took in it. The
pioneers to escape oppression and
enjoy liberty and freedom,
braved the billows of the At-
and landed on these shores.
The hand of oppression followed
them here but they arose in their
manhood and threw it off. North
Carolina was prominent in this
revolutionary struggle.

To shut a child in an

is to reiterate the predicaments
of Tantalus who was placed in a
pool of water up to his chin with
a bough of apples swaying above
his head. When he stooped to
quench his agonizing thirst the
water would mockingly recede,
and as often as he reached his
hungry hand for an apple just
SO often did the bough sway be-

scanned nicely framed portraits
of such patriots as Washington,
such authors as Longfellow until
it rested on the benign
of the great teacher him-
self. There were other pictures
which told stories of mercy, hope
courage, faith and charity. On
top of the book case was a bust
of Socrates, one of Minerva
the goddess of Wisdom. The
windows were curtained with
white lawn ruffled and draped
gracefully about the casements.
In the sunny ones sat pots of
and geraniums. In a
corner was a pyramidal arrange-
of shelves on which
pots ferns, fragrant flower-
plants, and graceful vines.
On the teach-rs desk sat a vase
of cut flower and on the floor in
front was spread a rug. The
