Mr. Richards displayed a tnap show 4 ing the line of the proposed railroad, and showed that when the road was completed AtigUsta would reap rich ben efits in freight rates on coal, cotton and other products from and to the xvest.

Said Mr. Richards: yThe road is going to be built whether this is done or not, but we desire to place our shops and offices here, and if the money is raised Augusta will reap the benefit of having them here. We want Augusta to subscribe $200,000 in first mortgage bonds. Chattanooga has subscribed $300,000 and Washington $50,000.

Wright, pres ident of tho Georgia State College for Colored Youths: Professor Wright is one of tho most intelligent negroes in Georgia and the school over which he pre sides has done excellent work in the education of the colored youth of this state. Professor Wright takes a hopeful view of tho future of his race in the south. He speaks in terms of cordial appreciation of the aid which Georgia has given to negro schools and of their excellent in fluence. Concerning the prospects of the negro in this state ho says: “Tho Afro-American is entering into the spirit of tho times. He is doing more business, plying more trades, sustaining a better charac ter, and is, generally, on better terms with the world than ever be fore. In Georgia, notwithstanding some strange happenings, there is a growi ng spirit of 1 i berality toward the Afro-American race. The pres ent governor is one of the best the state ever had. The state school commissioner, Professor Glenn, is thoroughly in earnest in his work t > give to all the children of the state an opportunity to got an ed ucation.” This recognition of the efforts of Governor Atkinson and State School Commissioner Glenn iu be half of the colored race expresses the opinion of the most intelligent and most trustworthy negro lead ers in Georgia. They realize that their people have been treated with perfect fairness and decided liber ality by tho present state adminis tration and are not deceived by tho misrepresentations of those who are endeavoring to array them against their tried friends.—Atlan ta Journal. It makes no difference who for mulated the policy of free coinage of silver, so long as tho policy is right and Democratic. But the truth is, as tho people know, the democratic party in congress and in all the democratic states had placed itself behind the movement fo'.’ the restoration of silvei long before the Farmers’ Alliance wus*x organized and long before the pop ulist party was dreamed of. So far as Mr. Watson is concerned, it is a matter of history, and very recent history at that, that ho was dis posed to turn his blind side to the movement in favor of free coinage of silver. When he first ran as an independent candidate he made va rious speeches in which he belittled, as far as he could, the effects of sil ver restoration.
