ATROCIOUS DEED
OF A NEGRO NEAR CAMDEN, AR KANSAS.
ChIoroformed and Assaulted a Young White Woman-Feeling
 High.

Camden. May 1S.-A dasterdly out rage was committed on the person of Mrs Clara Watson, respectable young white lady, living about three miles out of this city negro of the name of Will Bussey was the perpe- trator of the atrociOuS deed. The eVi- dence at the preliminary hearing yes terday afternoon before Esquire Pope adduced the fact that the dastardly scheme had been deliberately planned and put into execution It seems the negro knew Mr. Watson was away from home, and took advantage of the situation to accomplish his purpose. He first offered the lady money, and. being indignantly refused, he cholro- formed and assaulted her. The negro is well known, and the feeling runs high against him, and if the fiend is alive tomorrow morning Judge Smith will probably make short work of the case upon his arrival from Texarkana

Mr. w. H. Langford Says There
 Was No Breach of Trust.
On the Part of Himself and Others in the Speers-Langford Military Insti=
 ute Matter.

Graphic representative called on MT. w. II. Langford Saturday and asked him for statement as to the facts i'll the case involving the re building of the Speers-Langford Mil itaiy institute at Se&rey, which was destroyed by fire last February.
 As to the suit filed in the White county ehaneery court by the citizens of SearCy to require the owners of the institute to rebuild at Searcy with t,a insurance money coleced. MT Lang ford declined to enter into a discus sion of the merits of the case, but said:
 At the proper time an answer will be filed and finally each allegation ,,f the complaint, whereby it is sought to charge the defendants with any breach of trust or even promise to any citizen at Searcy. will be refuted It is not proper to attempt trial of the matter outside of the courts. The property was deeded to Mrs. ]. B. Speers, myself and wife in fee-simplo warranty deeds by individuals, with not the semblance of any trust connec tions whatever"
 Mr. Langford said he did not wish to be misunderstood that he has no ill feelings against any Of the people of Searcy. He says the reason the owners of the institute have refused to rebuild at Searcy is due to the
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1901-05-19

fact that they have lost money in the money collected from the insurance companies had been put aside as 1 memorial fund, and the building will be rebuilt, but just where has not been decided upon. Pine Bluff Is
 being faYaraby considered, however, and may seeare the prize AIr. Lang ford said that the owners have paid out more money on the school than they collected from the insurance companies. It burned on a previous oce asion and the owners expended large sum of money in repairing the building and rebuilding the burned parts. Ever since the Pine Bluff owners took charge of the school it has proved white eIephant' OF their hands. Mr. Langford said the at Searcy.
 Mrs Speers. Mir. and Mrs. Langford merely purchased the school to es tabish a memoral to deceased reiJr tives and not as a business enterprise They are among Pine Bluffs most highly respected citizere and their many friends feel that they have been nnjustly treated by the plain tiffs in the case in making serious charges against them, and they DC lieve that the institute owners wiN

F2J3A1LE CANDIDATES For Congress in Next Race in New
 Sixth District.
Hon. 5. M. Taylor Will Be a Candidate and Superintendent J. H. Hinenon
 Will Not.

There is much speculation at pres ant over the probability of candidates for congress from the new Sixth congressional district. Although it is little early now to talk of the matter, if is being discussed in local political circles and in the state papers gener- ally.
 Hon. S. NJ. Taylor, of this city, has been prominently mentioned as a probable candidate for congress from the new district He is giving the matter little thought just now, but informed the Graphic representative that when the time came, he would be candidate for the honored position. He thinks it improper and of little inn portance to talk of the matter now, and remarked that there are times when one can be little too previous in doing things.
 The new congressman will be elect ed next year at the same time the var ious county elections are held all over the state Just how many candidates will oppose Mr. Taylor can not be fore told at this early date. but several have been mentioned.
 For some time past there have bea3 calls by the best people from all over the district upon Prof. J. H. Hinemon
 super intendent of the schools, to make the race for congress. He has given the matter considerable thought. and informs the Graphic that he will not be candidate. There has been a desire on the part of many of the leading citizens of the state to see MT. Hinemon occupy the position
 of state superintendent of public instructions and the duties of that office are in line with the work which MT.
 Hinemon has been engaged for the
 past twenty years-educational work.
 In fact, he has been regarded ever
 since the last state election as the
 logical candidate for the place at the
 next election, and he has the assur-
 anees of the ardent support of many
 of the leading men of the state.
 The Graphic is able to say author,
 itatireiy that Mir. Hinemon will be g
 candidate !o. etate superintendent of
 public instruction. and it affords ii
 pleasure to make the announcement
 He is a thorough scholar, and his long
 experience in educational work ad
 mirably equips him for the position.
 He is a gentleman of high honor
 and strict integrity. and would inject
 new and advanced ideas into the ad.
 ministration of the office that would
 prove of invaluable benefit to the pub
 lie schools of the state.
 Hon. Joe T Robinson, the brilliant
 young politician of Lonoke county
 able candidate for congress. There
 IS little or no credence given to this
 report. as it is generally understood
 over the state that MT Robinson has
 the gubernatCYiy bee in his bonnet
 and will be candidate for that office

". J. Stanfield of Rison and Will Garland. of Hot Springs county, are also mentioned as probable candi- dates for congress, but nothing has yet been definitely stated in connec- tion with their names
 The newspapers of the district inti- mate that there will be many candi- dates out, and it is probable that a number of aspiring politicians at pres ent contemplate making the race, but when the time comes to get on the the track no doubt most of them will decline to enter
 very serious fight. He is polished poets of capturing the prlze without avery serious ght. He is polished speaker. splendid mixer, a fine scholar. and is going to be a hard man to beat for the place. ln fact, the deelination of MT. Hinemon to be come a congressional candidate ~i.] give Mir Taylor an undivided strength which will be hard to overcome.
