DESCRIPTION OF. NEGROES
Bryson said that the three negroes were
all dark skinned. All were medium sized

in overalls, however. All wore felt hats,
one of their hats being light. He could
not describe them more particularly.
DR.. W. c. Jarnigin and Thomas H.
Hancock, of the hospital staff. who re-
ceived Bryson at the hospital. were from
the first seriously doubtful about his
condition. According to their examina-.
ton, Bryson was shot in the left side
of the back, the bullet passing through
the liver and lodging near the front OF
the abdominal cavity. Serious internal
bleeding was the direct cause of Bry-
sons grave condition. He had lost much
blood while rolling around on the
ground.
DR. Hancock called up Mrs. Bryson
over the telephone to inform her of ts's
circumstances, but she had already APP
parently heard of it from another source.
Her voice at the other end of the phone
was broken and agonized, though well
modulated. DIR. Hancock told her that
her husbands condition was critical.
She could not come down to the hospital
herself A close relative came in her
stead.
Bryson's home is at ZIG East Hunter.
He gave his age 81 years at the hos
pital, and said that he had four chill
dren.
W. H. Bryson came to Atlanta from
Cross Hill, Laurens county, S. c.. and
has been in the employ of the Georgia
Railway & Electric Co. for three years.
He became a conductor about eight
months ago He said he had brother
living in Rockmart.

Blizzard Like Weather UShers
In Reunion of the United

Warm Welcome is Given.
REUNION WILL OPEN
FORMALLY MONDAY NIGHT
(By Associated Press.)

Gent city of Mobile en- fete for the re-
ception of the United Confederate vet
Grams, with her streets and public build
ings mass of gaily colored bunting
and glimmering lights; with the tented
city erected and ready for occupancy,
and with the work of the various city
committees completed, 1t remains for the
weather to strike the one discordant
note in the welcome extended to the old
boys who marched and fought under the
stars and bars.
After delightful summer weather for
month or more, the weather wizard de-
veloped a crouch yesterday and he stir
red up a climatic mess that has the most
ardent Mobilian cussing.
FIRST BLIZZARD IN YEARS.
Cold? Why the real native will tell
YOU it's the first blizzard Mobile has
had in years But it is not that bad.
The mercury did drop to 80 above, but
the sun is out today, although VERT
table gale of wind is sweeping in from
the bay, cracking the flags and bunt-
ing with sharp reports like whips and
threatening the flowing festoOns of red
white and blue which swing from house
to house across the street.
But if the weather Je cold, the hearts
of Mobilians are warm.
Not only are the veterans and the sons
of veterans, the pretty maids, charming
sponsors and stately matrons of honor
registered, but the chance guests, the
tourists and sigheseers as we'll are du-
Iy enrolled and badged. For the visitors
unofficial are big white badges marked
guest" and the possessor of one becomes
an Individual of note. People smile and
bow, and shake hands, ask if there is
nothing that can be done to make him
happy and conclude with the time-honor-
ed query: What do you think of Mo-
bile?'
VETERANS SONS MEET
While the real opening of the reunion
does not take place until tonight, when
the sons have their first session, inn
promptu reunions of old comrades take
place every moment. 1t is nothing UNI
usual to see two white-whiskered old
chaps in the dingy butternut gray of
the sixties, stare curiously at one an
other for a moment then give a yell
that in ordinary times would call for
police interference, rush at one another,
embrace with tear-dimmed eyes and
wander oft. arm in arm, to discuss mu-
tual comrades and recall old expert
ences.
Trains are arriving every half hour and
by night the city will be damned to the
gates with old veterans and their
friends
