Rev. Fowler, in his intr

In the midst of CfrristiHos It)
response to » reqm-vt from the
pastor, a large majority of the
congregation stood up to signify
that they were Christians, and
Mr, Fowler congratulated them
and said he was well pleased
with the fact that he found him-
self in the midst of so many
brethren; that it would doubtless
prove an incentive to him in the
evening's service.
Mr. Fowler handi^Lhh subject !
in a forceful and ti aswriy ; in-
ner. He was at a 1, times clear,
pointed and logical, and has the
knack of knowing how to con-
centrate his thoughts upon the
subject in hand and moving
along the well laid boundaries of
iiis discourse in an easy end
raceful manner. At times he
eloquent, and at all times clear
and logical.
This was the opening sermon
is the series of services for the
wtfws of prayer planned for this
week at the Baptist church,
and the discourse delivered by
Rev. Fowler was timely and ap-
propriate to the occasion.
Inasmuch as these services are
of an undenominational nature,
a cordial invitation is extended
to all the people of the city to
attend them. At Sunday even-
ing's services, it was a note-
worthy fact that the congrega-
tion was exceptionally large, and
composed of representatives of
nearly all other churches in the
city.
Monday evening, the services
were conducted by Mr. A. 1).
Milroy, of the Christian church, j nickels
who delivered an interesting talk
about "How Should Religion j
Affect Our Contact with Society,
Business, Politics, etc,?" Mr.
Milroy was in hie characteristic
vein and his talk on this occa-
sion, like all others, was inter-
esting and instructive, As Mr.
Milroy is a leading spirit in hia
churoh and one of our promi-
nent business men as well, hie
discourse was all the more inter-
esting because it was the result
of personal experience largely,
and the thoughts he suggested
were the fruits of one who is
eminently qualified for speaking
them.
The congregation Monday
evening, like that of Sunday
evening, was good, and this in
taken as strongly indicative of
the real interest manifested in
these services \ by the people-
throughout the city, of whatso-
ever denomination they may be.
This evening the subject of
the discourse will be, "The Se-
cret of the Christian's Power,"
led by Rev. L. M. Fowler, pastor
of the Methodist chureh.
Services will begin promptly
at 7:30 p. m., and everybody is
cordially invited to attend.
The week's program will end
with Friday evening's services,
led by E, A. Pace.

J. J. Sanders took a couple
colored county convicts out
>f his countrymen.
Lh, Friday afternoon a sleek,
brown witiniti.i iR!;.:" >, named
''t is!; Vo rig, made his appear-
unco u*the home r£ T. F, and
Kiias Ferguson, two colored men
living about seven wiles e<»nc»of
tniii city, and asked permission
to remain with them hat night.
This was granted, and after
posing a short time with them
in conversation, Youn| produced
>om» conjuring contraptions
which he had brought with him,
consisting of a |0ng iron rod
sharpened at one end and bent
into a circle at the other; a glass
marble with a leaden image in-
side; and a "hoodoo," which in
reality was nothing more than a
piece of charcoal wrapped in a
red flannel rag. These articles
and a satchel compri.ied his out-
fit for operations.
Young began hia operrtiona by
working upon the superstitions
of the darkies. He claimed
that by a certain manipulation of
the glass marble ho could pro-
duce a whole managerie at will,
and rniMiiy intimated that he
could have a score of venomous
reptiles crawling over thg, room
in two seconds. The negroes'
fear was aroused, and they be-
came convinced through the
flowing eloquence of their guea|
that he could do any old thing,
Next morning, Young assert-
ed that he could find hidden
treasure, and after a little per-
ambulating over the place he
said there was gold galore in the
earth underneath them—gold
beside which the wealth of Croe-
sus would pale into insignifi-
cance, and beside whioh Mr,
Rockefeller would look like six
Having fully worked
upon the avarice of his hosts and
gained their confidence, he pro-
posed that they dig up the treas-
ure, with the provision that they
donate to him the paltry sum of
S15 to locate the exact spot for
thetn. He promised to stand by
until they had dug up the
wealth, or, failing to find it as
repreffented, return their money.
This all looked square enough
to the unsophisticated hosts, aqd

thing more valuable than decay-
inc vegetation, they complained,
and Mr. Young's troubles began.
Then he told them he h«d some
gloves and a shovel weighing
450 pounds in town, and if they
would go after it they were wel-
come to the use of them,
The unsuspecting victims
walked into the trap again, and
came to town in their wagon to
get the shovel weighing 450
pounds. Here it was that their
guest shook thern and made his
way to some gambling resort to
spend his ill earned (jains.
The Ferguson's swore out a
warrant for Young's arrest,
when they failed to find him, and
he was soon located and locked
up by the officers.
