A Senatorial Deal


Little incidents tending to show Governor
Johnston's candidacy for the United States
senate are cropping out almost every day.
"A prominent Elmore county democrat in
montgomery today revealed deal in the
senatorial district composed of the counties
of Gilmore, Chiffon and Shelby. whereby
the governor is building a machine to elect
the senator favoring Johnston for General
Morgan's seat. The Elmore county man
said:
II have at last unearthed the reasons
why the governor has been catering to the
populists in our senatorial district He
wants to control the state senator, and
what is still worse, he is attempting to
have another populist succeed Deans. Rep
resentative Reynolds of Chiffon, is the
man. The trade is this Johnston appoint
ed the choice of the populists judge of pro-
bate of Gilmore, Hon. H. J. Lancaster, a
recent convert to democracy. He appoint
ed democratic sheriff of Shelby, who in
turn makes populist editor chief deputy.
{ Now, the appointees and the governor will
endeavor to have the democracy endorse
Reynolds. Reynolds, understand, boasts
that Judge Lancaster has already promised
him the support of the Gilmore county DEM
ocracy"
the governor is very much a candidate for
the senatorship. 1t is certainly plausible
revelation of some recent appointments.

EX-GOVERNOR MACCoRKLE
West Virginias Former Chief Executive
Will Visit Industrial Convention

Huntsville, August 22.-Colonel N. F.
Thompson, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, has received a letter from ex-
Governor William A. MacCorkle of West
Virginia, accepting an invitation to ad-
dress the Southern Industrial convention
upon '"The Race Problem In the South"
In his letter of acceptance Mr.. MacCorkle
says:
1T is question which deeply concerns
every person who really loves the south,
and is a question to which 1 have given
some attention. l would be very glad to
discuss the race problem of the south from
the standpoint which you suggest. Every
is interested in this most vital question
I have always thought that this problem of
the south must be worked out by the south
and through the south. The best method
of working out this problem is by intelli-
gent, honest, straightforward discussion
by theoretical discussion outside of our
limits and away from the trouble. If We
will but eschew politics and go at the mat
ter plainly and broadly, with the interests
of the negro and the south at heart, have
no question about our ability to settle this
You have adopted the best method of get
ting at this question, and think that
every one who has the interest of this
country at heart should give his time and
attention to it,

ATHENS
Shooting Affair Between William Hum
phrey and Negro

Athens, August 22-(special)-Th news
of shooting affair that occurred six miles
from Athens last evening on the McClel-
Ian plantation has just reached Athens.
Mr.. William Humphrey, a young farmer,
has a large portion of the plantation rent
ed and works it with negro tenants. Among
those tenants Is a negro named Josiah
Horney, very turbulent and unruly ne
gro He was told by the manager, Mr..
Humphrey, yesterday morning to do a
certain piece of work, which he fatty re-
fused to do, and this caused trouble.
Later in the day he met Mr.. Humphrey
and difficulty arose, and he, being very
large negro, assaulted his white boss, who
is a small man, and soon had him down
and was choking him severely. The while
man could nothing but take Uhe punish
ment. He drew pocket knife, but it was
knocked from him. Then he drew his re-
vover and fired on his assaiant, who was
seriously and dangerously wounded. The
negroes took the matter up and INDUCED in
a lot of ugly talk SO much that Humphrey
left the plantation during the night and
went to the home of a friend near by. This
morning ne came to town and surrendered
to the proper authorities and made a bond
for his appearance at court
The negro is very unpopular in his COM
rnunity and has very few friends among
the people This may lead to further
trouble. as the negroes are largely in ex-
cess of the whites in that immediate Sec
ton, but 1t is the first trouble that has
occurred between the races.

CROkER'S CHANGE OF FRONT
THE CAMPAIGN FOR rHE SENAT

Admission, August 22.-(Special.) -There is
circles that the puncturing of Joseph ].
Willetts Van Wyck boom is due to the
presence of Hon. John B. Knox, of this
city, in New York. 1t has been believed by
many who were acquainted with the po-
litical situation here that the invitation ex-
tended to Mr.. Wfllett to make the Tam
ernor Johnston, who was n New York a
week before the invitation was extended,
and that the launching of the Van Wyck
boom by Mr.. Willett was promoted for the
purpose of bringing him into prominence
in national affairs and thus overshadowing
Mr.. Knox in state politics and prevent his
contemplated candidacy for the United
States senate.
The Van Wyck boom, which had been
pretty well inflated by Mr.. Willett, coma
menced to collapse as soon as Mr.. Knox
reached New York. Croker's stand against
Van Wyck also followed Mr.. Knox's visit
east, and knowing ones here connect the
two incidents and attribute them to the
quiet, but effective, work of Mr.. Knox.
Knox's Name Not Mentioned
MIR. Knox, however, has not been known
in the matter at all. His name has not
been mentioned in connection with the
Van Wyck movement, yet many of those
who know the state of affairs political now
existing in Alabama believe that he has had
as much to do with the collapse of the
Van Wyck boom as Governor Johnston had
to do with starting it, and it is claimed that
the rather unique boom was started to give
prominence to Mr. Willett and that it has
been punctured to detract from that prom
inence. Mr.. Knox is one of the most noted
of Alabama lawyers, is ex-chairman of the
democratic state executive committee and
is not an admirer of Governor Johnston,
although he, as chairman of the executive
committee, was a strong factor in secur-
ing for the governor a large majority of
the popular vote.
