handsome home on East Battery. The
senator was driven directly to Mr..

taken for d drive over the city and
suburbs by Mayor Smyth Wednesday
afternoon.
he was asked for statement on the
issues of the day, especially the ap-
pointment of the negro collector of the
port and other matters on which he
would be expected to talk, but be
turned the newspaper men down COM
pletely, saying that he would have to
be excused from being interviewed.

Charleston in response to the invita-
tion of the college, and the attention
which was being shown him was all
very much appreciated, but he pre-
ferred not to make any public state
