DANVILLE, Va, sept. D. special. r.
The announcement made in THE TIMES
this morning that William II. Pleasants.
"A prominent cOlored man. will become Il
candidate for Congress from this district,

today. II was a surprise 10 every body and
is regarded as the natural outcome Of the

respondent Peasants said to-day that he
had everything 10 gain and nothing TO lose
by running. This being read between the
lines seems TO mean that he can get the
money to run his canvass, and if defeated.
"A possible Republican House may seat him
any how as It did Langst0n, and, in any
event, he being the defeated cand idate, NAV
have some say in the district as to Federal
patronage and will thereby be enabled 10
pay OIL some scores against his white party
associates.
Next sunday night Rev. Il. A. Peterson,
ID. d., will deliver an address at the taber-
nacle on the History of MethOdism, with

happy owner. He was fined s. in each case
