The war news published in the AP-

To one whose business causes him to
! be out at a very late hour of The night,

The speech of Mr.. Langston last
night was almost faultless in those as
poets in which orators most desire sue
cess. he held a great audience in a.hot,
crowded apartment, certainly spell-bound
through more than two hours. It is also
true that those distinguished lawyers
who listened to Mr.. Langston, were no
less pleased than the great multitude of
colored people who heard 80 much true
philosophy from this man, who Rlories in

social life be will Dor render himself as
invaluable to the people of Knoxville, as
they will find him indispensable to their
intellectual progress and entertainment.
