Columbus, O.. Aug. 24.-In a seven
hours motor ride James Middleton

dent said nothing strikingly new. That
IS, he did not put forward any new the
Dry of government, or turn a brilliant

lie made no effort to turn phrases or
coin epigrams But
He said what he had to say right off
Che bat. He did not talk against time
with. his mouth while his brain was
considering what might be the polti-
cally wisest thing to say. Not once did
he use the time-honored formulate of
candidates:

This is between us"
II am talking to you as a friend"
Hailed Along Road as "JimmIe."
The impression he produced was that
ef an alert and active man who had
thought upon every topic of the day
and had reached onclusion-though
not necessarily final one-upon each.
Above all he seemed to be a friendly
man. All along the road he was hailed

and grave without being aloof.

The American term "scrappy" suits
him down to the ground. He does not
carry a chip on his shoulder, but he Is
of the fighting type. The muscles OF
his jaw tighten after the style of Theo-
dore Roosevelt now and then, He is
not a spellbinder but he is distinctly
a good speaker. He hammers what he
has to say In short sentences. No one
can misunderstood him.
"[ do not propose to dodge single
issue or evade a single question: he

of some of the members to attend
the convention at Baton Rouge

Frank Walker, a respected
colored man hailing from Boliver,
Miss. came to New Iberia last
Thursday in search of negro
fugitive from justice. Walker is
well known all over the South as
the only colored man commits
stoned as detective and on many
occasions he has run down some
Of the worst negro criminals in
that State. He had with him a
bench warrant for one, Will
Harris, a wife murderer, and said
that he would have him under ar
rest before many days. Walker
called upon Sheriff Landry while
here and said that besides being
known by nearly every Sheriff in
the South he was personally ac-
quainted with the President of
the United States. He has been
following detective work for
Mississippi for 38 years and some
of his captures are of the worst
type of criminals. While travel
ing over the country he sometimes
delivers lectures to the people of
his race on sanitation, the right
mode of living and otherwise
gives. the negroes advice that is
calculated to be of material ben
Eft to them.

Last Tuesday the asphaltic

the property holders residing in

we hear about the work is quite
