DR.. j. W. Keats of this city. who has
just returned from trip through several

they can and are making claim that the

The reports that if Bryan is elected, the
negro will be given the right of franchise
in the south, and that the colored soldiers
who were discharged by the President will
be restored to their former rank in the
Uniteu States army. is a deception. and
the negro all over the country Is too intel
