SOUTHERN DETRLOPMENT.
1athsring Of Business Men Called to

OF the committee on invitation of the pro-
posed Southern development business
meeting in Washington city, is sending
out large number Of invitations to bust
ness men and organizations throuchout
the South, 10 attend the meeting on An
gust Goth and 3lst.
Colonel Rogers in his circular saws:
The recent meetings in Augusta, Ga
ana New York have resulted in a gem
eral desire TO have full representative
gathering In this city. The meeting held
In the Fifth-Avenue Hotel in New York,
was not largely attended owing to the
very limited notice. While it is proposed
to have a programme arranged To faclll-
tate business, opportunity will be given for
the discussion of ali plans Of organized
effort for the benetlt of the South.

talists and investors from all sections

DEMOCRATS or TBNNESSEE.
Governor Turney will Probably be kenom
mated at the Convention To-Day.

NASHVILLE. TENN, Aug. 1.-THE
Democratic State Convention will meet
here tomorrow to nominate a candidate
for Governor.
There IS no opposition 10 the renomina-
ton Of Governor Peter Turney. which
will doubtless be made by acclamauon.
There IS much division among Iennes-
see Democrats on the silver question, nut
the disposition among the delegates who
have so far arrived Is towards compromise
rather than contention.
This makes it probable that the imam
cial plank In the platform viii declare
for the coinage Of both gold and silver at
such a ratio as viii preserve the party
OF the TWO metals. or some other indeh-
mite phrase that both factions can claim
as an expression OF their views
The Democratic majority In the recent
Superior Court judges election over the
Republicans and Populists fusion was
only about 5000 and the Republic ans
claim that they could have won If their
forces had been thoroughly aroused. They
will make determined effort to elect
the Populist nominee for Governor In
November, and this state Of affairs has
awakened the Democrats 10 the necessity
Of preserving party harmony.
