are becoming numerous. The gin

probably two thousand dollars. In the

MR.. BRYAN ON THE NEGRO QUESTION SOUTH
Talks Straight Shoulder in Addressing His Vast Audiences
Saws Thrown the South into Anxiety and Alarm

fearful that second term may still
further estrange the races and plunge
that section OF the country into the
horrors of race struggle. The enter
tainment of Prof. Booker Washington
at the white house has been construed
by many as an attempt upon the part
of the president to raise the question
of social equality, and this has further
aggravated the race situation in the
south. If the president intended to
raise that question with view of set
Ting it in favor of the black man, it
means the arousing of feeling which
will seriously interfere with the calm
considerations of Industrial and econom-
ic problems. If, on the other hand
the president did not intend to force
upon the public the consideration of
the question of social equality 1t was
exceedingly unfortunate that he did
ANYTHING that could bear that con-
struction. The people of the north,
where the dominance of the white race
is not menanced and where the blacks
are comparatively few in number, have
no conception of the conditions which
prevailed in the south during the peri
cd of reconstruction, and it is there
fore dificulG for them to understand
the feeling of the southern people. The
democrats of the north, who both de-
sire and need the cooperation OF south
ern democrats in resisting the en-
croachments of plutOcracv, are vitality
interested in removing the race issue
from national politics, so that the party
can make an aggressive fight for in
dustrial and economic reforms"

GEORGIA'S GRAND PRIZES
COMMISSIONER STEVENS RETURNS
WITH POCKET FULL OF MEDALS.
This State Took All of the Principal
Prizes for Agricultural Exhibits at
the Worlds Fair. What They Are.

FRIES Tor Agricultural ExniBltS az
the Worlds Fair. What They Are.
One of the proudest men in the
United States today is Commissioner
of Agriculture 0. B. Stevens, who has
just returned from weeks sojurn in
St. Louis and bringing with him
three grand grizes for agricultural ex-
hibits. and about twenty-five medals,
including ten gold and the others
silver and bronze.
The first grand prize is for collect
i've exhibit of hay, corn and peas.
The second grand prize captured by
Georgia is for Sumatra tobacco, grown
and manufactured in Amsterdam, De-
catur county.
The third grand prize is for naval
stores, raised and manufactured in
south Georgia.
Thus each part of Georgia gets a
grand prize.
WHY UNCLE ODE IS STUCK UP.
These prizes were won in open com.
petition with Texas and her $4,000
appropriation on one side and Cal
ifornia and her 100000 appropriation
on the other side, while Georgia made
out the best she could with $50, 900,
but presented a greater variety and
better display of actual products than
all the other states and foreign coun-
tries combined. In fact Commissioner
Stevens claims that Georgia stands
first in the whole agricultural display
of any state or country represented at
this greatest of world g fairs.
To have won out in tobacco against
Virginia, Kentucky and the Carolinas
will be as surprising to most Georgians
as it is gratifying. The truth is that
very few of US realize the full great
ness of our stare.
j. L. Berry of Griffin gets a gold
medal on his big boil cotton. Georgia
also gets gold medal for the best sea
island cotton. These are the principal
prizes carried off by Georgia.
A PLEASANT RECEPTION.
Not only have the Georgia commiss-
toner's carried off the first prizes with
their meagre appropriation, but they
have managed to keep open house
in the Georgia building with great
hospitality and have ever once and
awhile given receptions to homefolks
that have been most pleasant and en-
ioyable.

HuuCS
M. Williams of Trinity
NJ church, Savannah, has been
' n' into politics considerably OF

l''' nnInit upon the management ofthe
p' aloction in Chatham, claiming,
''' ,c other things, that the returns

NV H. made direct reference in his SER
or to Editor Pleasant A. Stovail OF
Wv savannah Press, who is also
s ~ember of the legislature, and called
nnon the tor.leglslator to reform
.so election system and purify the po-
'|ticaI atmosphere generally.
raitor Stovall had an editorial criti'
.,.r, on the preachers sermon, and
,ben the preacher went back at the
.djror in another sermon last Sunday
night.
Now Editor StovalI, in a two-column
.ai,orial. addresses himself to THE
worderfngs of Mr.. Williams" and
contends that the preachers strict

,bare Is a way to contest the election
before the general assembly If he is
rot satisfied with the result There
WAS no opposition to the regular dem
ocrstc ticket at the polls on Oct. 9th,
and The Press, while condemning any
iraud shows that no one could have
nro6ted by such fraud. In the follow
ing paragraph the editor of the Press
"trees" his game
"Mr. Williams is natural foe 70
democracy, state and national. He
voted for Mckinley for president in
1900 The Press has the authority for
saving this, and be is not now an ad-
yocate of Judge Parker. The election
hasn't come off, and there is no way of
predicting how he will vote. He may
follow his course in the state election
Of not voting and Of standing off and
criticising those who do. The Press
believes that Mr. Williams is rather
an apologist for the republican party,
Roosevelt, Booker Washington, ct Id
omne genus. His private talk has
been all in that direction. He has
been anti-demOcrat for several years
and has been growing more so every
year He has opposed democratic nom
iuees for governor, president and
county officers, and is just as much au
enemy of the party as Tom Watson"
The Press charges that Rev. Mr..
Williams has been bitten by the
political gaddy, and calls his sermon
clap trap. 1t tells him "this is no
time to Sind along between the armies
