THE PASSING THRONG.

I ll the First Presbyterian Church of this
 city. called to its pulpit Rev. J. 5. l Foster of Tennessee. but formerly of | Mobile. He declined the call. The | following item in reference to him ap- peared in The Macon (Ga.) Telegraph:
 "Dr. J. s. Foster of Franklin. Tenn. was on yesterday unanimously called
 by the congregation of the First Pres | byterian Church at Macon, and he will
 be here on the third Sunday in August l to preach a sermon. The congregation
 feels that 1t has ever reason to believe he will accept the call. When he comes to preach in August he will make a 1 thorough survey of the field. and then decide how he likes the conditions tfat 1 he finds here. the city and the church congregation. From the information
 received relative to Dr. Foster, the congregation feels that he is eminent ly fitted for the work here" Colonel William A. Handley tho vet-
 eran delegate to the Constitutional | Convention from Randolph complains that he is being misrepresented by
 some of the newspapers of the State.
 which report him as saying in his | speech on the suffrage question that | his constituents do not want fair eIec- l tions. What he said was that they had | never had anything but fair elections | in Randolph and a man who would stuff ballot box in that county would | never see his wife and children again. | He said that the whites were divided | and that the negroes held .he balance of power and were put up For the | highest bidder and had been bought so | long that 1t was getting mighty ex- pensive" to have to buy them in the frequent elections that were hold and that both sides wanted to deprive the negro of the right to vote.
 That was a good speech Mir Miller made today, in the Convention" said BlrH Belt Democrat in the Ex- change Hotel lobby last night. MT. Miller is a typical Black Belt Demo- crat and he knows what he is talking about. He has had much practical and personal experience and he knows that the people of all this section as well as of his own county want to stop the prevailing methods and are willing to face all odds and take any risks to accomplish it. Like the nia- 1ority of the Committee and of the Convention. he feels that the white peo- pie of the country are on his side and that when they do anything 10 get rid of the ignorant and vicious element In our politics that all will stand by it,"
