MY attention has been called 70 z
parsons" TO the effect that q large num-
Der OF colored people were present N
q recent gathering of men opposed 70
tho proposed amendment to the STATE
Consultation. The particular gatnerins
that he referred TO occurred in Mont
gomery, and there was few. very
few colored men present In the gath
ering. But. when he says that the
meeting was composed largely OF COZ.
ored men, he simply makes great
see this contradiction in cold type.
Now, anent this, are the advocates
Of the Comer-Lawrenee- Weakiey
amendment proposition determined up
on another factor In this campaign.

of the negro as means to secure sup
porters and votes?
Are they not satisfied with their sn-
vasion OF the sanctity OF the pulpit?
Are they anxious to further split FAM

ored people when they have no place
and do not figure in this matter9 Shame
The objections to the Emendment
have been sc often stated that con-
slider IT almost unnecessary to REFER
to the Questionable features OF IT here.
