NEWTON, N. c., April 26.-Two
negroes accosted a young white girl
that works in the Catawba cotton
mill here two nights ago. These
negroes made all kind Of indecent
proposals to the girl. Not having
put their hands ON the girl, at a
trial y sterday morning they could
only be fined for simple assault.
Last night committee Of New
toms best white men, believers in
"White Supremacy" aod men who
wished to protect the honor and
virtue OF every white girl, waited
on these negroes. but they could not
be found. They have left town and
it has been suggested that 1t would
be best for the negroes to stay
away.
The negroes have heretofore been
considered respectable and were

SIMMONS ELECTION LAW.
How it Worked In Hendersonviile.

How 1t Worked In Hendersonvitle.
A letter from Henders onville to
the Asheville Gazette, dated April
26, says:
"The registration for the city
election began yesterday morning.
Up to last night there had been
about eighty men registered. The
Democrats are permitted to regis
ter without being asked the ques.
tions laid down in the Simmons
election law. Republicans and
those who oppose the present town
administration, are put upon exam
nation. and long list OF questions
asked them, then the registrar tells
them they cannot be registered un-
less they can prove their age by
two voters who can register under
the present election law. This
scarcely any one can do, and num-
ber of citizens have already been
turned down because Of their ina
bility to prove their age by two vo-
ters as aforesaid, among them men
who have voted here for many
years.
The registrars storeroom where
the registration is being carried on,
is filled a good portion of the time
with Democratic bulldozers and
hoodlums, and when Republicans
go in and attempt to see that fair
ness is had and justice done, and
all voters asked the same q questione
they are treated with contempt
and the registrar, in speaking of a
mans eligibility to register, to use
his own language, says: "Unless he
can answer these questions tina,
the law prescribes, and prove his
age as provided by law he cannot
register it matters not whether ht
can take the oath as contained il
the present constitution or not
The registgcr also uses such ex
pressions as this:
~ am running this thing, and
mont want any such crowds as thi
in here any more" And this is on
!, ly a small taste of what is to com
in North Carolina during the mex
! sew months"
The above is q special to th
Asheville Gazette. We do not sa
that such things will occur in eS
cry town and precinct. The Sim
mons election law furnishes abuI
8 dant opportunities for fraud and II
10 timidation, which will be taken az

which H. s. Croy, of Canton, Ohio

was her ninth consecutive victory. Mr.
Croy also won the 2:22 pace at the VAL
ley with Ampere and gave the son Of
Patchen Wilkes a new record Of 2.1sit
Mr.. Croy has shown that he is a trainer
and driver Of exceptional ability, and
since ne has been In Ohio his percentage
of winning races has been as great ae
that of any other trainer. 1t is inter-
esting to note that when he trained al
