be q very fair contribution.

Galveston are suffering was the greatest

The colored people seem to be somewhat
stirred up over the fact that Bishop Tur-
ner of the A. 81 f. Church Is urging tho
election Of Mr.. Bryan. In the Republican
congressional convention for this district
yesterday. he was bitterly denounced. Il
Is. probable however. that Il Is matter

orcd politicians denouncc him. lie IS che
sor, OF a man TO do pretty much as he
pleaaes.
A Macon letter Ia the New York Sun
intimates that his purpose Ia coming out
FOR Mr.. Bryan Is 20 mead of legislation

away from the negro. The letter states
that the Hardwick bill will be introduced
into the legislature again-the Leglsla-
ture that viii meet tho latter part OF next

reason whey there should be a decline IN
