Washington, ID. c., Jan. 10 When
Mr. Bryan reaches Washington Sat
urday the timo and place of holding
tho democratic national convention
will probably bo determined.
While tho determination of those
questions is in the hands of the COM
mlttce and will not, therefore, bo
formally settled until tho meeting Of
that body in February, thero is Il
disposition on the part of tho party
managers to tako whatever action
may accord with tho wishes and
Judgment Of tho man who it is be-
llevod is certain to bo tho party's
nominee for tho presidency.
Active work Is being dono by rep
resontatives Of Kansas City and Mil
waukoe, and tho committees of both
OF these cities are bringing every
possible pressure to bear, but these
arc bringing no definite results, and
majority Of tho members will be
influenced by what Mr. Bryan says.
Most Of tho southern democrats
arc inclined TO tho belief that it
would be the bost politics to hold tho
convention in Now York city. One
of them, member of tho national
committee, said today:
81 am strongly in favor of the So
lection Of New York as tho place to
hold tho convention, for two reasons.
Tho first is that in going to Now
York wo would silonco all talk Of tho
democratic party being n sectional
party. Tho other reason is that wo
realize we can not hope to win un-
less wo carry Now York State"
This view has been strongly pre-
sonted to Mr.. Bryan, but he has
made careful study of the situation
in oil its bearings and the decision
OF leaders horo is to bo guided by
his judgment and wishes.

Richmond, Va, Jan. 10.-At nc
period in the history of the State has
there over been SO much Legislation
almed at the negroes as during the
Legislature now in session hero. This,
too, Is Of class which seems to bring
about the most radical reforms in
dealing with this race. The fore
most reason for assembling a Consti-
tutional Convention, for which a bill
IS now ponding and is to bo made a
party question, is to disfranchise the
negro and eliminate HIM from Yir-
ginia politics.
Tho Jim Grow car bill, which has
passed tho lower house, and is as
sure to moet with the same DISPOSE
ton i'll the Senate, restricts the black
man to separate coaches on all pas
sengor trains in this State.
A measure has been introduced,
and has the commendation of some
OF the ablest men in Virginia, which
prescribed n horrible and unmentlon-
able punishment for assailants of
womon. AS 05 per cont Of such
crimes are committed by the negroes,
this is intended el :..rely for that
race. 1t is hardly probable that this
mode OF punishment will be agreed
to. Its form is such as it is not be.
lievcd tLat it will be adopted.
No steps havo been taken in that
direction, but the recent report of
the superintendent Of public instruc-
ton indicates quite plainly senti
mont in favor of such legislation as
will give the negro only an industrial
education. 1t ls not unlikely that n
proposition will il the near future be
made to separate school taxes of the
two races and give to tho negroes
only the proportion paid in by that
race. If this were dono the amount
for negro education would be quito
insignificant.

RURAL MAIL DELIVERY.
Its Feasibility and Practicnbllity Demon
onstrnted by Bids OH the Star Route
Service for South Carolina.
Especial to News and Courier, }

Washington, JAN 1S.-One Of the
strongest arguments in favor Of rural
free delivery has just been brought
to light through the bids reccntly
oponed for carrying the mail in
South Carolina. Assistant Postmas-
tor General Shallenborger appre-
ciating the Importance Of the now
system of carrying the mails, insert
ed IN the bids two propositions: one
! was for carrying the mails accordin ,
to tho old star route method, the 9TH
or the application of the rural free
delivery service. A number of con-
tractors submitted bids and tho Of
ficia!s were agreeably surprised to
find upon examination of thom that
the cost of rural free delivery was
but $4,000 moro per year than tho
old method. This is regarded by
the officials at tho postoflice depart
ment as a vigorous argument in favor
of the rural free delivery, and it's
application throughout the United
States.

livered to them and collected right
at their very doors, without having
to resort to the old fashioned plan of
driving to town. Continued in
crease in postal revenues point to on
tire Feasibility of the system, and it
is predicted that before tho next year
comes around Congress will have
legislated sufficient funds to extend
the system upon moro liberal lines.

thankful for and should hasten to
give tangible evidence Of it's gratitude.
influenced by tho notable example
above cited, it is urged that tho Luth
eran Church in the South shall by a
voluntary assessment upon its mem-
bers raise an endowment fund for
tho support of its Seminary, now
permanently located in homo Of It's
own at Mount Pleasant, near Char
lesion, S.. G. This time honored
institution is our only ,Theologic al
Seminary in tho South and is the
very life of our Southern Churches.
We are dependent upon it for the
supply of our pulpits, and without
its sustaining aid the Church in our
midst would languish. It therefore
becomes tho imperative duty of all
who are loyal to the Church of tho
Reformation to unite in the effort to
endow and perpetuate this venerable
school of the prophets.
The United Synod of the South,
approaching the vital Importance of
the Seminary, and recognizing its
pressing need for an endowment,
clothed the board Of directors of the
Seminary with authority to take such
stops in the promises as to> them
seem wise and expedient.
"In the exercise of the authority
thus conferred the board of directors
has resolved to make an earnest ap-
peal to all Lutherans residing within
the bounds of tho United Synod to
aid in raising tho sum of sixty
thousand collars rs an endowment
for the Seminary. The income of
such fund will give tho institution
proper support and enable it, with
out danger of interruption, to dis
charge its sacred functions.
'Jt is roughly estimated that thero
are some forty thousand Luthorans
residing within the Jurisdiction of
the United Synod. If zach of these
will make voluntary offering of
one dollar and half tho entire fund
needed will be easily and speedily
raised. Although many can give
but little, everyone should feel it
solemn duty to give something, no
matter how small the amount. In
each congregation there will be
found those who are certain to con-
tribute in larger amounts, and these
will make up for such rs can give but
little, thus maintaining the general
average of per capita assessment
above named. We have been al
ready assured in advance that in
some charges thore will be donations
in sums of fifty and one hundred
dollars, and we may reasonably ex.
pect oven larger benefactions. This
matter must, however, bo left to the
conscience Of each individual We
can only emphasize the extreme need
Of the institution for immediate help,
