SIXTEEN PAGES. VOLUME 1, NUMBER 302. BRANTLEY TALKS OP SITUATION —t— POPULAR CONGRESSMAN THINKS DEMOCRATS MAY CONTROL THE NEXT HOUSE. OUTLOOK IS VERY BRIGHT i He is Also of the Opinion That the Democrats Have an Excellent Chance of Electing a President in 1904. Hon. W. G. Brantley, the able repre sentative of the Eleventh district in congress, together with Mrs. Brant ley, reached the city yesterday from Blackshear and are quartered at the Oglethorpe. Col. Brantley paid the News an appreciated call last night, and talk ed interestingly of the political situa tion generally. He Is of the opinion that Chairman Griggs has done mag nificent service in the cause of demo cracy as chairman of the congression al committee, and while he says the odds aro against us, he would not be surprised to see the country render the house to the democrats in the fall election. in speaking of the Budden retire ment of Speaker Henderson, Mr. Brantley says he thinks that the ac tion of Mr. Henderson was due more to his fears as for reelection as speak er of the house, rather than to his success in the Third lowa district. "Speaker Henderson,” says Mr. Brantley, "Is decidedly in an awkward auTTiiue. His immediate constituency are demanding a revision of the tar iff and the great majority of the wot ors in his district are committed to ihis policy, whereas the republican party as a whole favor a protective tariff, and on this issue, he woulu have to face his colleagues in his contest for speaker. He was Between two fires and sought cover.” Mr. Brantley holds the opinion that the tariff question will be the cardinal features of tne next presidential elec tion and argues that all questions, such as the trusts, Imperialism, etc., are secondary to this great question, which, after all. Is the great balance wheel from which auxiliary measures get their momentum. He thinks the coal strike In the east and "one year of Roosevelt’’ together with other ap parent evils, have all served to play into democracy’s hands, "and” said the congressman, "while I am not a pro paet, it does seem to me mat if the democrats will look after their fences and harmonize within the party, write a good stable platform and nominate some man who enjoys tue confidence ol the people that they will have a splendid chance of placing a democra tic president in the White house In 1904.” Mr. Brantley sayjs he has been taking a little trip over his dis trict, and with the exception of an outlook for a snort cotton crop, he finds the people prosperous and happy. He is enjoying the very best of health himself, and, If appearances count for anything, he will be in good shape to give the republicans a good, lively tus sle when congress meets In December.

I go into New York City daily and enjoy delightful suburban scenery and drives after a days busi ness In the metropolis. Nature is clothed in her most charming garb at this season of the year. The autumn tints defy the artist’s brush. A light frost and crisp morning air have sti mulates the nerves and circulation of the Southern lethargy into vital activ ity, which open up new incentive to live and join the vast army of human ity in the hurly) burly of life. The great multitudes lof obscure humanity who never appear in the arena of pub lic events are suffering and the win ter’s outlook is gloomy for them in deed, with a great coal famine looking them In the face. The small families of •modest means, who usually have their winter’s supply of coal stored away in cellars, at this time have not a pound supplied on account of the great strike. The outlook for this class of popula tion forbodes much suffering. We of the south are nbt profoundly inspired nor appreciative of the many comforts and resources of our country tor hap piness and contentment.

Union Street Resident Tells How to Settle Bicycle Matter. Mr. Editor: If you will kindly give me space in your paper, I would like to express my views on the much dis cussed question of weeds and bicycles on Union street. Being a resident and property own er on Union street and also a bicycl ist, I think 1 can look at it impar tially. If our city lathers would re quire property owners or tenants to keep their sidewalks clean, both sides of Union street could be used and not all passing to and fro be confined to one side as it is now. This would afford ladles and chlluren who are nervous over wheels, a safe and un disturbed walk on the western side, and the bicyllst could still have the right to use the side that was made, especially for their convenience. When bicyclist are allowed the use of one sidewalk that does not take away the rights of pedestrians, for if they are not willing to share that walk with the wheels they can have the entire western side (if it was kept clean) which is room enough for an ordinary person. If this Is practical for Union 'street (I don't see why it is not), could it not be enforced on other streets and thus the who.e town present a Cleaner and more attractive appearance, and walking, a thing possible along some sidewalks? The greatest difficulty ia In the vacant lots and there is where most of our weeds are, and property owners should be held responsible. This is to my mind tne best way to settle the discussed problems. S. Yeoman Hyland Dead. New York, Sept. 20.—Patrick J.
