DINNER AT UNION STATION.

The directors and officials of the Sa-

complimented with a dinner tonight
at the Union Station. The dinner will
be given by Messrs. Freid & Sommers,
proprietors of the Union Station dining
room, which, handsomely appointed

already enjoying patronage despite the
fact that the station has not yet had
train service inaugurated.
About 100 invitations have been sent
out, principally to railway officials.
Many of these, however, will be unable
to attend. 1t is probable that there
will be about fifty or sixty guests. The
hour of the dinner will be o'clock, but
it is probable that it win last until
after midnight, when the first train will

A NEGRO BIBLE PRODIGY.
FOurteen-Year-Ol Boy Creates Sem
satiOn at EaldOsta.

Valdosta. Ga, May ga young ne
gro named ]. l.. Washington turned
up here this week and has proven a
great sensation, especially among the
negroes. He is a Bible reader and lee
turer and large crowds have attended
his meetings here. The boy is IA years
old and not large for his age. but he
can quote nearly every chapter in the
Bible from memory. 1t is difficult to
call out a chapter that he can not quote
and tell where 1t is from. Give him a
closed Bible and ask for a certain chap
ter and he can turned to it the first
time, almost invariably. never missing
it more than two or three pages. After
an exhibition in memory reading he de-
livers a lecture that is full of common
sense and good advice to the negroes.
1t is claimed for the prodigy that he
never went to school in his life, and
that what he knows came to him al
most intuitiVely.

LOST HIS SPEECH.
Negro struck in the Head With a
Rock Mt the Thenter.

Robert Thompson, a 17-year-old ne
gro, was struck in the head by an I'M
known white lad in front of the thea
ter last night during the rally of the
Citizens Club. The blow caused
aphonia and Thompson has lost all
power of speech.
Before the assault the negro could
write a legible hand but after he had
been struck he was unable to write at
all. Because of his inability to write
or talk nothing could be learned of
the assault. The negro was taken to
his home, No. 100 Charlton street. west,
where he was attended by DR.. G. w.
Heriot. BY moving his head the wound
ed lad made it known that he had
been struck with a rock in the hands
of a white person.

POLITICAL COMMENT.


Dublin Courier Dispatch: Manager
Warner Hill cut that Texas visit short.
The Estill tide was running too strong
for him and he thought to return home
and help his candidate stem it. He
will find, however, that whenever pop
ular clamor calls for the nominations
of a South Georgia candidate, those who
fail to get from under will be buried
in the ruins.
Tennille News: State prohibition
cannot be accomplished by putting
Query in the Capitol: Joe Terrells
election will mean the continuance of
the ring-rule we are so accustomed to.
Estill's election will mean the financ-
ing of the states business on a business
basis. Take your choice, gentlemen,
but it seems to us that leaving out SEN
timent Estill is really the only man
available to do good.
Blackshear Times: Col. J. H. Estill
is gaining votes every day in Pierce,
and as the primary draws near the
faster they are turning to Estill.
Early County News: If the people
of Georgia really desire a Governor
business administration. they should
vote for Col. j. H. Estill.
Worth County Local: If you want
good business Governor, vote for ]
H. Estill. If you want an all-around
affable gentleman, vote for Joe Terrell.
If you want an outspoken state pro-
hibitionist, vote for Dupont Guerry.

friends are growing more confident each
day in the belief that the South Geor-
gia candidate will be the next Gov
ernor.

McKINLEY'S LAST ADDRESS.
Portrait Of the Late President Speak
ing at the Buffalo Exposition.

Postmaster Merritt has placed on the wall
In his office portrait of the late President
Mckinley, which has already excited wide
discussion 1t Is the work of a Buffalo por-
trait painter, Raphael Beck, who has held
an established position in the art circles
Of New York for several years. and who
painted this composition from a sketch of
the late executive he delivered his ia
nous reciprocity speech at the Buffalo eX-
position. Postmaster Merritt has hung the
painting In his office in order that several
intimate friends of Mr.. Mckinley may see
it before it is returned to the care of the
artist.
Mr. McKinleys figure makes up almost
the entire foreground. He Is shown stand
ing beneath the beautiful Bridge of
Triumph expressing a welcome from the
United States to the other nations OF the
world Above him are the stars and stripes
as used in the decoration of the platform
on which Mr.. Mckinley spoke that morn
ing The expression of the President is
probably more severe than the one best
known to Washing.onians. but the dignity
of the occasion and the subsequent disaster
both make this conception of the artis,
quite appropriate. AS a background Mr.
Beck has shown vast concoErse stretch
ing back past the beautifully colored build
ings of the exposition to the Court of Foun-
tains. and prominent in the group nearest
the stand he has drawn a veteran of the
war in which Mai. Mckinley served.
