Prepared for Long Session.

Georgia will send two complete sets
of delegates to the Republican ma
tional convention, and both will go
uninstructed. They are:
Jackson wing-Henry s. Jackson,
of Atlanta; J. NJ Barnes, of Thorn
son; Henry Lincoln Johnson, colored,
of Atlanta, and B. J.. Davis, colored,
also of Atlanta.
Johnson wing-Walter H. Johnson,
of Columbus; Henry Blum, of Savan-
nah; J. w. Lyons, colored, Of Augusta,
and H. A. Rucker, colored, of Atlanta.
Louisiana white and colored Repub-
licans will send 'contesting delega-
tons to Chicago conventions. The
lily-whites met and elected twelve
delegates. The colored men appeared
at the Gruenewald Hotel and de-
manded admission, but were refused
by the hoter management saying that
colored men could not participate in
conventions in that hostelry. The
colored men charge that this was the
ruse by which the ily-whites barred
them. They. will send full delega-
ton.
Colored men were eliminated as
voting factors in the Texas Republi-
can convention at Fort Worth, Tex,
Monday.
Contests over seating of delegates,
in which the race question was pre-
dominant, occupied the convention
throughout the day and made a night
session necessary for the election of
delegates to the national convention.

Harrison's Shouters.
II am Republican. belong to the
; grandest political body ever, organized
by the human race
This was as far as he was allowed to
proceed in the last speech Colonel Rob-
ert 1ngersol ever made in a national
convention. The Republicans had gath
cred in Chicago in 1883 either to NOM
mate James G. Blaine or BENJAMIN
Harrison. Blaine was coaching In
Scotland with Andrew Carnegie. The
convention decided to offer him the
nomination by cable and take q recess
until a reply was received. This was
about noon. There were fully $4,000
people in the big auditorium, and they
made it plain that they wanted to hear
from some Of the leading Republican
orators. It was decided to crafty their
wishes. Frederick Douglass, the negro
orator, was the first speaker, and what
he said was highly pleasing to the
crowd. He spoke for nearly thirty
minutes.
While he was speaking the Harrison
managers observed Colonel Ingersoll
seated on the platform. He was there
In the interests Of Walter O.: Gresham
Of Indiana, Harrison's most formidable
opponent. Only the preceding day
there had been a very impressive full
dinner pail" parade for Gresham by
Chicago workingmen. Here was q d.
lemma. Every man in the convention
hall knew of Ingersoll's skill as an ora
tor. Probably every one Of them had
read his famous "plumed knight"
speech In which he placed Blaine in
nomination at Cincinnati in 1875. To
permit him to speak now, even though
he should mention Greshah's name
only incidentally, would be to 1mperil
Harrison's chances. The sHarrison
leaders held hurried consultation and
dispatched runners to all parts of the
building with instructions ta stop In
gersoll at all hazards. Il
When Douglass concluded there were
cries Of "1ngersolly' "1ngersonw De-
liberately the colonel took his place in
front Of the rostrum. He was given q
wildly enthusiastic greeting: While tho
cheering was In progress he stood calm
ly w1ping his big bald head awaiting
the restoration Of order. The crowd
seemed to feel that something unusual
was about to happen. It was an anx-
ious moment for the Harrison cohorts.
1ngersoll surveyed his great audience
slowly and then In strong, rich voice,
each word carefully measured, spoke
the two sentences quoted above.
The effect was electric. Seventeen
words had literally swept the audience
of its feet. Every man and every wo-
man stood up and cheered. There were
three minutes perhaps Of genuine ap-
plause. Then when it began to subside
the Harrison claquers would renew the
cheering. These tactics were continued
for five minutes. 1ngersol attempted
to resume his speech. Immediately his
voice was drowned by the noise, which
proceeded mainly from the floor Of the
convention hall. Each time the colo
mel tried to speak the uproar was re-
newed. At last, after at least half
dozen fruitless attempts to proceed, he
retired in disgust.
A motion to adjourn until O'clock in
the afternoon was declared carried by
the chairman. When the convention
reconvened cablegram from Blaine
declining the nomination was read, and
Harrison was named.

Years. From a sport indulged in by the
recognized colleges. some few athletic
clubs and the largest high and prep
schools, it has grown until it is being
played on almost every back lot. 1t is
estimated there were 5000 regularly
scheduled games played last year. and that
about 6,50O,0OO persons attended them.
That gives an average of more than 1000
persons to watch each contest. The
changes in the rules, the general famil-
iarity that is being acquired with the
game by the public, the lessening of in
iuries, all have caused the sport to grow
in the estimation of the people. Perhaps
no one thing has caused its uprise as
much, though, as the fact that the people
generally are gaining a knowledge Of the
sport and beginning to realize thereby
that it is not a fine method for developing

NO CHANGES IN GOLF
RULES FOR THIS YEAR
Proposed Legislation Against Much
Abused Stymie Will Go Over
Until War Ends.

NEW YORK, January 3.-There prob
ably will be no changes made in golf
rules this year at the meeting of the
U. S. G. A. for the reason that on ac-
count of the war it has been impos-
sible for the American golfng authori-
ties to get in touch with those who
control the game and its rules at St.
Andrews, Scotland. Consequently, any
proposed legislation against the much
abused stymie is likely to be tabled
until the war is over. Notwithstanding
this fact, the players continue their
protests against the stymie rule and
clamor for local regulations or tempo
rary relief. This situation has been un-
popular for long time, but under the
leadership of Jerome D. Travers, ma
tional open champion. American golfers
seem to have determined that the
stymie shall be abolished.
Travers says he considers the stymie
the most unfair thing in golf Through
no fault of the player, he is penalized
a complete stroke, which may mean
the loss of the hole or the match. In
the Wisconsin championship several
years ago one player lost the title be-
cause he encountered no less than seven
stymies in the final match. Playing in
the third round of match play. in the
