Former Says President Deserves
RECONCILIATION.

New York, Sept. There will be a
conference between Senator Plat and
several Republican leaders here to-
morrow. 1t is expected that Gov.
Odell will attend. The question as to
whether the Republican state conven-
ton will indorse President Roosevelt as
a presidential candidate In 1904 was
asked Senator Platt to-day. After
some hesitation he replied:
1.-THE state convention will certainly
indorse his administration, but l can
not say that the convention will pledge
the support of the state TO the Presi-
dent two years in advance of the nom
nation, as there is no precedent for
such course in this state. l don't
know whether the President wants
such an Endorsement. l had a talk
with him recently and he did not
mention the subject. I will say this,
however, / think the President de-
serves the nomination"

ROAD BUILDING STOPPED.
Work In Montgomery County Has
 Come to a Halt.

Montgomery, October 7.-(Speoial. )-The building Of improved roads in Montgom- cry county has come to Q halt for an in- definite period. beginning was made in the esrly ninetiss by the most strenu- ous efforts of few enterprisirg spirits, and the experiment pleased the public so well that the board of revenue was com pelled to go forward, borrowing money from legislature to legislature. until now 19O miles of as good roads as gravel and clay can make run out from the city to every portion of the county.
 Stin, for so large a county, 800 square miles of territory, and mostly prairie, this mileage is only beginning of what is needed. The county is out of bond mo- ney, however, nearly $100,000 being tied up, and the ordinary revenues will barely suffice to maintain the present mileage. Under the new constitution a special tax of 25 cents can be levied for road build ing, and after the next legislature the work can be resumed if the taxpayers are willing.

ooMPERs Noi HOPEFUL.
Declares There Is No Outlook for an
 Early Resumption of Work.

Washington, October 7-President Com pers of the Federation of Labor today de- clared that there was no outlook for an early resumption of work by the striking anthracite miners and said he was un- able to say whether the strike would con tinue until spring. He refused to answer questions as to whether he had any com munication from Mir. Mitchell.
 ''Will the miners return to work under any other circumstances than the con- cession of their demands for increased wages and shorter hours?" he was asked
 T can see no other outlook replied Mir. Gompers, than that they will hold out untll some concession is made to them, certainly until they receive a fully satisfactory guarantee of arbitration ad- indication or consideration of their de- mands."
 MT. Gompers contended that the action Of Governor Stone in calling out the en- tire Pennsylvania state militia would have no bearing on the strike and that 1t would not cause any of the strikers to go back to the mines.
 Secretary Morrison of the federation was equally positive in his expressions as to the effect of ordering out the mili- tia on the strikers, and added: Further more. l can tell you that the miners are able to hold out until spring."

.15OO FARMERS
 MEET IN MACON
Address of Welcome Delivered
 by Governor CandIer
REFERS TO RACE PROBLEM
Says Georgia Has Her Burden to Bear and Is Doing lt--No Time to Discuss Past Diff
 ferences.

Macon. Ga. October 7.-The twenty second annual session of the Farmers National congress was opened in this city today with an estimated attendance of 150O delegates, representing every state in the Union. The meeting was called to order by President George T. Elan ders. who delivered his annual address.
 Addresses of welcome were delivered by Governor Allan D. Candler and George A. Smith of the city chamber of commerce. Vice President Harvie Jor- dan of the farmers congress responded.
 The morning session was taken up with tho examination of the report of the com mittee on credentials.
 The sessions will continue through Fri day, and the delegates will be royalty entertained, several excursions having been planned Into Florida and to the diff ferent experiment stations throughout Georgia.
 In his address of welcome Governor Candler referred to the race problem in Georgia.
 He said that Georgia had her burden to bear. and she was doing 1t, and that the condition of the negro In Georgia was bet ter than in many other states he was be- ing educated without discrimination has an equal protection under the laws, and was taught that Georgia was the best state for a good negro and the worst state for bad one.
 He stated that in the exercise of his authority as governor he had been com pelled to listen many times to the pleas of the negroes and he had never allowed himself to think of them save as men entitled to equal and exact justice under the laws.
 He declared that 1t was no time to en- ter into a discussion of past differences. The men who fought under the stars and stripes believed they were right and the men who fought under the stars and bars thought they were right.
 In conclusion he said that Georgia with her land devastated, her homes darkened with mourning, through the re- construction period had succeeded be- cause her soil and resources were the most prolific of any place on earth. To that Georgia, and in her behalf he ex- tended a cordial welcome to the delegates and bade them God speed in the great work which called them together.
