YET MAKE RACE,
CHANCES ARE THAT FRIENDS
WILL MAKE HIM CONSENT
TO RUN.
If He Should Decide to Enter the
Situation Will Be Materially
Changed.
It seems that Col. A. L. Franklin
Will, he in the race for the legisla
ture whether he desires the position
or not, as a large number of Glynn
county's most prominent business
men say they want him in the leg
islature, and yesterday a score o’
more went to see him, and tried to
persuade him to make the race.
They assured him oi their hearty
support) out he still declined to say
positively just what he would do.
The fact of the matter is Col. Frank
lin would he glad to represent Glynn
but there are certain obstacles,
which make it almost impossible for
him to go to the house. The News
feels safe in saying, however, I hat
he will consent to become a candi
date if the people continue, in their
efforts to get his consent.
Mr. l’ranniin is one of the stron
est men in the county, and if lie of
fers for the place his chances for
winning are good.

fully discussed, and some definite ac
tion taken, it is almost certain
that the company wnl accept the in
vitation.

growing determination to make the
visit of Pfesi'dant Roosevelt to the
exposTTT.m an"' occasion long to be
remembered. While the Tillman in
cident wni he ignored, so far as out
ward appearances and open expres
sions go, no pains will be spared to
show the president and the country
that the old-time courtesy and hos
pitality of Charleston have not been
forgotten,
Not only will -he president come
but Mrs. RooseveTt will accompany
him. He stated to the committee in
Washington yesterday that he want
ed tne visit arranged for a date on

very clear that the recent untoward
Incidents and reports had not influ
enced "him in his desire or intention
to go To Charleston, and spoke en
thusiastically of the pleasure he an
ticipated trom his visit.
The Governor Talks.
Governor McSwi-eney is quoted as
follows:
“There is no doubt ti.at our pqo
pie were aggrieved at the Booker
Washington incident, but since that
occurrence, a number of prominent
statesmen have accepted invitations
and most ot them have dined wf
the president, and while bouth Car
biinians could never tolerate any
thing 01 T*ts"Trind for the reason that
they do not believe in social equal
ity, as far as the visit of the presi
uent to the state is concerned, I feel
that I voice tne 'sentiment of every
intelligent man and citizen that not
a single protest will be heard, anu
that any suggestion ol violence
would be stamped out promptly by
the people, and, if necessary, by the
officials of the state. South Carolina
has no sympathy with tne spirit of
anarchy, and any attempt to instil'
the chief executive ot this great
American country would be con
demned and put down hero in tne

would in any of the eastern states.
“President Roosevelt’s reception
will be' one never to he forgotten, for
South Carolinians are noted for their
hospitality and high eoncention of
thq proprieties. I regret this agita
tion and 1 do not hesitate to say that
the people want it to eease. No
good can come from it and it is in
jurious to the good name of our peo
ple, personally and financially. II
is almost farcical to suppose that the
chief executive would he in danger ol
personal violence. It would ho cow
ardly, and particularly us a result of
political events, ihi tills instance
there fs nothing to warrant the ex
pectation of such trouble. We
nave had state issues more trying and
dangero-rs without'Trouble resulting,
i am satisfied that our president
could not go to Charleston and re
turn to Washington without tin
knowhAige that he had received the
most cordial "reception ever given
one occupying his position."

CONSIDERED SERIOULY
ILL BY THE PHYSICIANS
DEMAND OF TURKEY
A MERE FORMA-, i
United States Will Investigate Fur
tner Before Acting.
Washington, March 4. —It is
learned at. i.ie state department that
the attitude "of Mr. Leisham, United
States minister to Turkey, is liable
to lie misunderstood, owing to the
brevity of Tne cable report. He pre
fered a demand upon Turkey in the
case of Miss Stone, but the under
standing here is that any action in
the line that Mr. eeisiuiian may have
I taken is rather in the line of saving
all future rights, rather tuan the sut'
misfiion of an unqualified demand for
the punishment or the brigands am.
in< repayment of the indemnity giv
en the brigands.
The same sort of a caveat lias cutl
er been, or will be, riled witn the
Bulgarian government. The legal
effect of this action is simply to sin
all rights against either of thqso
governments, or against both of
them, pending the conclusion of an
exhaustive inquiry which the state
department is ’ making into Miss
Stone s ease’.
When the inquiry is concluded n
is expected the department win In
in position io‘ square,y place tne r.
sponsibility lor the kidnaping, ami
when tnat is none no time will bt
lost in presuing the claim, both for
punishment of the perpetrators of tne
outrage and payment of the ransom.
.Meanwhile Mr. Leishman will prefer
no specific claim aaginst either Tur
key or Bulgaria.
