Before sitting down to eat Mr. Bryan said farewell to a little group of news paper men, who called early to see him. He was still In his shirt sleeves when he came to the door of his suite, No. 128, on the second floor of the Ho tel Victoria. .... “I can not speak of last nights oc currences," said the Nebraskan. “I was well-nigh overcome by the reception accorded me.

It Is a friendly coun try to me now% and always shall be.’ Mr. Bryan then excused himself to Join Mrs. Bryan and his daughter. The party left the Victoria a little before 9 o'clock for the Grand Central station, where they took the 9:30 train for New Haven, where another welcome awaited him.

This is the latest report, nnd "tie that comes with some degree of au thority from Macon. Advices received from there Friday morning state posi tively that the Central City man has been fixed upon as chairman of the convention. No corroboration of it could be ob tained at the office of Hon. Hoke Smith Friday. When asked about it Mr. Smith said he had nothing to say, a* he did not know what his friends had decided upon. It is generally believed, however, that Judge MJJler has been agreed upon and that he will preside over the convention Tuesday. He Is president of the Georgia Bar Association, and has been one of Mr. Smith's most ardent advocates and friends throughout the campaign. It was stated Friday at Mr. Smith's office that the list of delegates for the state convention is not yet ready for publication. The statement was also made that the Fulton county delegate* had not been selected. Dear Mr. Seelv SHREVEPORT, LA., August 28. I’m so tickled with what I hear about The Georgian ou this trip that I can’t wait ’till I get back home to tell you about it. In Memphis, Little Rock and Shreveport the opinion seems to be unanimous that it’s the best paper in the South. This opinion comes from the newspaper makers and the public, too. I was surprised to find how well known the paper was among the people of Shreveport—a town so far away from At lanta that only a remarkable paper published there would have any elmnee to itiake a hit here. Memphis people were especially warm in their praise of The Geoorgian. Mr. Raine, owner of the News-Scimitar; Mr. Somerandyek, its general manager, nnd Mr. Clemmons, the manag ing editor, and Mr. McCormick and Mr. Bell, managing editor and city editor, respectively, of the Commercial Appeal, were warm in their praise. And if they did not mean what they said, appearances were deceiving. Judged by the impression that The Georgian is making in the towns I have visited, the pa per is taking the place in the Southern newspaper world which you intended, and I am sure that congratulations are due you and all of the Georgian’s staff. I really had to get away from At lanta to come to a full realization of how good a paper I am working for. With good luck I will be hack some time Monday morning—and mighty glad to be there, I can assure you. This barnstorming is .just about what it is “cracked down” to be. Regards to all at the office.
