ambition he has in the world rather
than come here and prove false to ms
friends.
Il say this because I'm the friend of
Ed. Pou.'
Mr.. POU IS DEFENDED.
Mr.. Weland, of Johnston, thought the
criticism of Mr.. Pou unjust.
He's the property of this convention,
as is every other good Democrat, and the
party has a right to command his SER
vices. He cannot refuse the call of this
convention if he would. 1t is not through
any wish or desire of his that his name
is here today presented. He knows
nothing of it."
The fifth ballot began and Sheriff Ell
lington announced that Johnston casts
her 81 votes solid for Pou.'
Mr.. Whitley, of Johnston, protested
that this was not true and demanded a
poll of the delegation, saying that there
was opposition to Pou in Johnston.
The ballot resulted as follows:

POLITICAL STRAWS.

The New York Journals straw polls
give Bryan $4,000 plurality in New York
CITY.
Senator Blackburn is in Washington and
says Bryan is sure to be elected. He says
there is no doubt that Bryan will be
elected in November.

manager of the Chicago Wooden Mills, of

showing how the Republican party has
gone back on its early platforms.
Hon. Geo. ID. Wise, ex-Congressman
from Richmond, tells the Richmond Times
that 50 per cent. of the gold Democrats
will vote for Bryan and that in his iudg-
ment will carry the New York electoral
vote.
Maj w. T. Hollowel, of Goldsboro

is gaining ground and will be elected.

Gov. Stone expects to meet Col Bryan
in West Virginia and tell him the good
news that Croker has promised to elect
the Democratic candidate for President.
Everybody thinks that Croker is honest in
that purpose. That is certainly the belief
at the Republican headquarters, and both
Mr.. Hanna and Mr. Bliss, particularly Mr..
Bliss, who has been active in New York
politics for a quarter of a century, know
what that means. They will not admit
that there is any danger of the Republi-
cans losing the State, but they will admit
that if Croker means business he can give
them the liveliest fight of anybody, and
that means a great deal more work and
a great deal more money than they were
intending to expend upon this campaign"

such was the case. SIN, he would give
him the benefit of the doubt
Judge Twiggs declared that the charge
of alien was an insult to the voters of Sa-
vannah. and a mean fling at the foreign
element of the city, the Irish among the
rest. If they were citizens, he said
whether native or raturaiized, they had
earned the right to vote. He referred to
card published by Mr. c. F. Prendergast
in which the statement was made that
the writer had been foreman of a number
of grand juries and that every single in
dictment returned by these bodies had
been originated by Mr. Osborne. Judge
Twiggs explained that drawing a bill and
originating an indictment are TWO entire.y
different things. An Indictment may be
oeained by special p1esentment by the
grand jury on its own motion. by private
parties coming before the grand jury and
stating their grievances, or by warrants
turned over from magistrates. The sole
iior does not Originate" the Indictment
simply because he draws the true bill.
In conclusion Judge Twiggs said that Mr.
Osborne had made the best solicitor gen.
eral that he had ever known in this or any
other circuit.
with the warm night and the large
crowd the Theater was very uncomforta-
bic, and the crowd was quite willing to adj
tourn when Judge Twiggs concluded his
remarks shortly after 10 O'Clock. The
clubs wound their way to the several
halls Which had been secured for the pur-
pose where refreshments had been pro-
Sded and arrangements made to spend
the night.
Mayor Myers, who was present at the
meeting. was asked why he did not SPEAK.
He replied that he thought Ghe meeting
was itself a sufficient answer to the state
ments made by AIR. Hartr1dge, Mr.. Adams
and Mr. Mcmillan.

There Are But Three Living Mem
bcrs of the Glass of AZ.


Athens, May 1.-THE most interesting
reunion to be held during commencement
is that which Gen. James P. Graves, a
graduate from the University in the year
1912, is working upon.
If Gen. Graves succeeds in getting it
up. this meeting will be the center OF
attraction during the approaching reun-
ions. There are but three surviving mem
bers of the class. These are Gen. Graves,
of College Park, Ga, father of Hon. John
Temple Graves DR.. William FELTON,, the
famous Gainesville statesman, and Hon.
James C. Cock, of Columbus. Gen. Graves
is in correspondence with these gentle
men and is in hopes of bringing them to
the reunion
1t would be a most interesting gather
iug-that of the three venerable alumni
and the AZ boys" would be the guests
of honor during commencement. They
may be sure of royal welcome should
they decide to- come
There were about thirty graduates in
the class of 1s42. 1t was one of the brain
lest hanC-omest and most dashing set of
men that ever entered the university. This
was in the days before the war, when
these bri liant SONS CT wealthy planters
were princes indeed, and they made things
