WHAT FAKE NEXT2
Another Political 7y,Canard
Sent Out.
The Latest is That Judge Clark and Hon. Cyrus
B. Watson Havs Formed Combination
by Which Both are to be Senators.

Greensboro is good town all the way
through. Its newspaper men and corre-
spondents are reliable and enterprising
but of late they have been imposed upon
by two of the worst political fake stories
that ever deceived a newspaper cOrre-
spondent The following special was
sent out from Greensboro yesterday:
Greensboro, n. c., March 21.-An un-
confirmed political rumor aloat in this
section is to the effect that Judge Walter
Clark and Hon. C. B. Watson have
formed a combination of forces for their
mutual interest. According to the ru-
NOR, Judge Clark, after securing the
nomination for Chief Justice, is to assist
Mr.. Watson in inducing the State con-
vention in naming the Democratic candi-
date for the Senate, when, if the plan
is successful, he will throw his influence
20 Mr.. Watson and endeavor to secure
his nomination for the Senate The plan
is also said to include the selection of
Judge Clark as the successor of Senator
Simmons.
Il have been unable to get at the
foundation of the rumor or find any one
who appeared to know anything positive
of the rumored arrangement. 1t is said
that the matter has been talked of in
several places in the State, notably in
ASheville."
1t would be interesting to know what
enemy of Mr.. Watson and Judge Clark
put that fake story in notion for it was
started by somebody who contrived to
get il into the ears of correspondents
through channels not in the fabrication
business
The story. following so swiftly after
the story with a Greensboro date line
to the effect that Judge Brown had with
drawn from the race for Associate Jus
tice, and that Judge Shepherd had re-
entered the race for Chief Justice, will
make people skeptical of political stories
that emanate from Greensboro In JUS
tice to the correspondent, the Shepherd
Brown story had been widely talked, and
had been whispered in Raleigh a week
before it's publication. The Watson
Clark story, most improbable of all po-
litical yarns since Murchansen's day, it
seems, comes by way of Asheville.
Seriously: The Greensboro correspon-
dent has been twice imposed upon and
he would do we'll to publish the name Of
the men who gives him such stories.

The Judge is a careful, conscientious

THE BOYCOTT FAILS
, tobacco Dealers Refuse to be
Enslaved by the I'M
perial Company.
(By the Associated Press.)

London, March 21.-At meeting of the
Edinburgh Association of retail tobaccon-
lists today, resolution was adopted,
unanimously, declining to sign the I'm
perial Tobacco Company's agreement not
to sell American goods for term of
years, but expressing willingness, if the
minimum price is raised so aSto allow a
fair profit to dealers, to do what is possi-
bic, bonus or no bonus for the sake or
British goods. The chairman declared
that no one, outside of lunatic asylum
would sign such an agreement, which
would make them the servants of the
Imperial Tobacco Company. While the
Americans offered a large bonus, no re-
strictions We're placed upon the Dealers
The Belfast tobacco dealers, at a
meeting today, decided to accept the
American proposition.
The feeling among the London tobac-
conists. exemplified at big meeting held
this afternoon to consider the rival bonus
schemes, was one of bitter opposition to
the boycotting clause of the agreement
proposed by the Imperial Tobacco Com
pany, which was described as arbitrary
and unjust.
Ultimately, the London Tobacconists
after a long discussion, passed a resolu-
tion, unanimously. absolutely refusing
to sign the Imperial Tobacco Companys s
agreement as being unjust and unfair to
the dealers and un- English
The retailers were not content with
rejecting the proposed boycott of the
American Tobacco but went step furth-
er, passing a resolution to support any
manufacturers willing to guarantee, on
proprietary articles, minimum profit to
the retailer of 20 per cent on tobacco to
% per cent on cigarettes. The speakers
bitterly denounced the British combine;
declared the latter had ''out- -Americanized
the Americans and said that it's recent
action would only result in forcing the
remaining independent tobacco, concerns
in England into the arms of the Ameri-
cans.
The resolutions were adopted with much
cheering, mingled with groans for the I'm
perial concern.

RIVER AND HARBOR
House Passes This Bill With
out Change in the
Appropriation.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, March 21.-The House to-
day passed the River and Harbor Bill,
which has been under consideration
throughout the week. Although several
minor amendments we're adopted, not a
single dollar was added to the measure,
and as passed it carried exactly what it
did when it came from the committee
$50, ,6SS, ,267 including authorizations. Mr..
Sulzer (New York; attempted to force
a record vote on the final passage of the
bill. but only three members. Messrs.
Smith Qowa); Fitzgerald New York;
and Cochran (Missour) supported him.
Something of furry was caused by
an amendment offered by Mr., Gaines
(Tennessee) to an amendment which was
resented and adopted yesterday on mo-
tion of Mr.. Richardson, (Tennessee) to
permit the Secretary of War to grant
leases to the owners of land abutting
Lock and Dam. Number l at Nashville.
Tenn, for the use of the water power
created by that dam to allow the con-
structiOn of inlet and outlet canals, etc.
Mr.. Richardson's amendment met with
no opposition yesterday. Mr.. Gaines
amendment provided that the lease or
grant of this water power should be
given to the highest bidder.
Mr. Richardson explained his connec-
tion with the original amendment in
which he said he had no personal in
terest.
He said that last summer at the re-
quest of some constituents of his, who
desired to obtain the privilege OF using
the water power at Nashville, and SEN
ator Carmack came to Washington to
see the Secretary of War about the
matter. The Secretary, he said. declined
to grant the request for the use of the
water saying it was matter which
Congress should pass upon. The matter
rested until a short time ago, Mr..
Richardson said when his constituents
asked him to call the matter to the at
tention of Congress and he has done so.
Il had no further interest in the mat

my constituents who had asked me to
come here, and who had paid my way" I"
Mr. Gaines insisted that the rights to
be given away under his colleague s
amendment were exceedingly valuable.
He said that a New York concern had
offered $S95,000 for similar rights at
Chattanooga. At the War Department,
he said. it was estimated that the water
rights at Nashville were worth several
million dollars.
After some further discussion the
