ELECTION NEWS.

As We 60 to press, the election
news indicate that Mckinley has
beer elected by small majority,
and his election shows plainly what
coercion and money will do with the
American people.
The news flashed over the wires
on Tuesday night from Republican
headquarters was that the country
had gone overwhelmingly for Nc
Kinley and sound money, but now
they are only claiming his election
by a small majority. There is not
a particle of doubt where there was
a close vote in any northern state
and the Republicans had control
there was fraud committed, and
when an investigation is made, it
will be easily proven. Bryan made
a noble fight and he deserved to be
victorious. Four years from now
will see the same fight over again.

On Monday last Mr.. Matt Clay,
Jr., made an affidavit against Chap
man Robinson, a colored man,
charging him with killing and steal
ing his COW. There were number
of negroes summoned as witnesses
to testify in the case against Robin
son, and their testimony made a
very bad case against the accused :.
Robinson waved examination and
was placed under a $500 bond for
his appearance at circuit court. He
stated in the court that he would
take it 1pon himself to find Mr..
Clay's COW, as he contended that he
never killed the COW, and that she
was not dead. On Wednesday
morning he came to town leading
the animal. This but goes to show
the nature of the negro race; there
was a number of them here as wit
nesses actually ready to swear away
the liberty of one of their fellow
men, ready to send him to the peni-
tertiary, and led Mr.. Claw to be-
lieve his cow had been slaughtered.
A juror should hesitate a long time
before rendering verdict upon the
testimony of irresponsible negroes.

GOODWIN-RHODES.

maid of honor, walking alone, Miss
Dora Aiken, handsome and accom-
plished cousin of the bride, attired in

The Monroe Bulletin of last wee

The Monroe Bulletin of last week
said that a great many white people
of the Hill section who went to the
river parishes to pick cotton. re-
turned and tell terrible tales the way
they were treated, and that some of
them had walked the entire distance,
and great many in their bare feet.
We earnot hardly believe what the
Bulletin says. There is not a white
plantation owner on the Mississippi
river who would treat a white man
in any such manner. No doubt the
majority of the cotton pickers who
came from the Hills were lazy and
jndolent. Ii they were inclined to
work they could have found plenty
to do, and could have saved up a
little money.
