HuddleSton of Campbell county reach-
ed the scene tonight and he is sum-
moning every available citizen TO pro-
tect the negroes. The trouble, which
has been brewing for several months,
broke out Saturday when $50 white
miners went to the Kings Mountain
mine and drove twelve negro families
from there. They marched the ne
groes all day Saturday, allowing the
women and children to camp and eat
what food they carried with them, but
forcing the men to keep moving. Gen
eral Manager John Gormon and other
mine officials are doing everything in
their power to avert trouble.
- Cebu, Philippine Islands, Courier:
Capt. Carlos Krebbs, commander Of
the steamship DalupaOn, reports that
last Sunday afternoon about o'clock,
while en- route from Tudela to Iligan,
the ship sighted four Filipinos cling
ing TO a submerged banca surrounded
by school of sharks, which, even
after the vessel had come alongside,
persisted in lowering about the ban
ca. The four men upon being picked
up related a terrible tale of suffering
and agony. They stated that they
had left Basac, Negros, bound for Ba-
rili, Cebu, and that on Saturday they
ran into heavy weather which caused
the banca to fill, sinking to the waters
edge and washing away their food and
drink. Shortly after that the weather
cleared, leaving these poor mariners
under the glare of a tropical sun.
Then the sharks appeared and to the
agony of thirst and the pangs of hun
ger was added the terrific fate of be-
coming a mOrsel for a sharks tooth.
They had despaired of relief and every
vestige of hope was gone when they
sighted the Dalupaon.
- Lincoln, Nebraska, August Is: A
suggestion novel in it's character and
regarded by Democratic leaders as
one that will strengthen the party in
the campaign, will be acted on by the
Democratic national committee during
the visit of William J. Bryan to Chica-
go next week. Much stress is laid by
the Democratic nominee on the plank
in the Denver platform relating to the
guarantee of bank deposits and this
topic will be discussed fully by him in
his speech at Topeka on August 9th.
If the suggestion is followed every
community in which a bank has failed
during the last year or more will get
especial attention from the literary bu-
reau. The sufferers from the failures
will be sought out and provided with
arguments through which it is hoped
the guaranty plank. Today a number
Of autOmobilists from Lincoln, among
them Mayor Frank w. Brown, rode
out and paid neighborly visits to the
Bryan family. Politics was not touch
ed on. AS his visitors were leaving,
some one suggested to Mr.. Bryan that
he had land enough for a full golf
course, but he expressed a preference
for baseball remarking that the ma
tional game was a cooperative one,
whereas in playing golf, one had to
'go it" more or less alone.

New York, August IS: Financial
plans Of the Carolina, Clinchfield and
Ohio railway, the new railway project
of the south, resembling in many re-
spects H. H. Rogers Tidewater rail-
way, have been practically consum-
mated, Blair & Company will, it is
understood, buy $10,O0O,OOO OF the
bonds of the company and an an
nouncement to this effect will be made
soon. The new railway is but little
known to Wall st. 1t has been known
that the capitalists constructing the
railroad were to a great extent inter-
ested in the Seaboard Air Line. The
road was built to haul coal through
the mountains from Elk Horn, w. Va,
to Spartanburg, S. c., a distance of
245 miles. 1t traverses and cuts
through a wild and mountainous ter
ritory. The Cumberland syndicate,
comprising Norman b. Ream, Thorn
as f. Ryan, members of the firm of
Blair & Company and other capital
lists, acquired several years ago a large
tract Of coal land known as the Clinch-
field Coal company property. To bring
this coal in the most direct route, al
most due south, to the great manufac-
turing points of the cotton belt in the
Carolinas and Georgia and elsewhere.
capitalists evolved the idea Of build
ing the Carolina, Clinchfield and Ohio
railroad. The road is one of the most
expensive pieces of railway construc-
tiOn in the United States. running
