vile News, was attacked by j., w.
Norwood, president of the Norwood
National Bank. this afternoon in the
editorial rooms Of the News. The
two men were separated before any
serious injuries were sustained. Nor

him a wrong in withholding part OF
an account of a fight between Nor
wood and Mayor Mahon. Mr.. Nor.
wood struck Mr.. Jenkins before he
could give an explanation. He later

bruised on the face considerably.

very much.

( New ORLEANS, La, May 22.-
Leon C. Perez, ~ years old, a clerk
IN his brothers drug store at 1912
Canal street., was shot through the
head and almost instantly killed by
his son, William Perez at the family
home, 2O6 South Claiborne street,
about II O'Clock last night. I'm
mediately after the shooting the son
ran to restaurant to telephone for
an ambulance. He was arrested and
taken to the First precinct police sta
ton, where he was charged with
murder. According to statements
made by the young man he shot his
father with a rifle to prevent the
latter from striking his mother.

Taft Wanted to Dine With a Negro

FAYETTEVILLE, N. c., May o.
Solicitor N. A. Sinclair, returned last
night from Savannah, Ca, where he
went to attend the funeral Of his
aunt, Mrs. Mary McNeill. On the
train with Mr.. St. Clair was Secre-
tary of War William H. Taft, leading
Republican candidate for the presi-
dency and three attendants, two
white men and a negro. The secre-
tary of war and a party boarded. the
train at Charleston, having returned
from a trip to Panama. The secre-
tary ordered four covers laid on the
table, for dinner and on account of
the great bulk of the secretary the
table, which is intended to seat four
people, had to be extended.
When the great man and his three
companions appeared in the dining
car and were preparing to take their
seats, the conductor came on the
scene and informed Mr.. Taft that in
South Carolina colored men had to
wait until after all the whites had
eaten and despite the secretary's pro-
test his negro companion had to re-
tire.
Taft is certainly bidding high for
the negro vote and it remains to be
seen if he can wean them back with
such a bait. The incident will almost
certainly create a revulsion of senti-
ment among the white people with
whom any attempt to break down
the social lawn between the races is
met with repudiation.

The First Candidate.

\ Hon.. w. S. Smith, State Senator
from Hampton County, was the first
to file his pledge and pay his assess
ment to the State Democratic execu-
tive committee as a candidate in the
coming campaign. Mr.. Smith is a
candidate for congress from the
second congressional district, to sue
ceed Hon. J. O. Patterson.
Senator Smith was in Columbia last
week attending the State Democratic
convention, and while there he called
on Gen. Willie Jones, State chairman,
filed his pledge and paid the assess
ment of $50.

No Injunction Bill.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-No bill to
modify the power of the federal
courts in the exercise of injunctions
will be passed at this session of con-
gress. It was decided tonight at a
conference of the Republican mem
bers of the house to enact such a
measure would be unwise.
AS indicated by the several votes
taken, sentiment for and against a
modifying bill was pretty evenly di-
vided. and those who led in the de-
bate took part with much vigor and
spirit. .

TRYING TO GUST WILSON.
South Carolina Delegation Ask Pres
ident to Appoint New Postmaster.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-The en-
tire membership Of the South Caro-
lima delegation in Congress called at
the White House to-day and saw the
President in regard to the situation
at the Florence postofice. j. E. Will
son, the present colored incumbent,
has been the postmaster there for
about sixteen years, and recently a
movement was commenced by the
citizens of Florence to have him re-
moved. Several meetings of the peo-
pie of that place have been held with
this object in view. Representative
Ellerbe was the spokesman for the
party to-day and told the President
among other things that Wilson is
and for some time past has been IN
competent to properly discharge the
duties Of the office.
He is quite an old man and is not
able to give personal attention to the
work of the office. The assistant
postmaster and the clerks and en-
ployees in the office are young ne
groes, and the conduct of the office,
because of Wilson'S age and physical
condition, has fallen on them. 1t is
said that they are imprudent, i'm
polite and wanting in a high degree
in courtesy and politeness. It was
shown in addition to this that nearly
100 per cent of the patrons OF the
office, including both white and col
ored people, desire a change. Mr..
Ellerbe asked that some suitable per
son be named for the place, and that
if it was not possible to do this now
that the President would at least not
make a recess appointment.
The President told the delegation
that he would give the matter the
most careful attention. The name OF
w. J. Stroud has been submitted for
Wilson's place, and it is understood
that his appointment would give en-
tire satisfaction to the patrons Of the
office.

Editors Assailant Convicted.

New ORLEANS, La, May 22.-

er was tonight found guilty of assault
with dangerous weapon. Sentence

suit of a sensational shooting several
months ago which caused Whitaker

New Orleans police department. Ac-
companied by several detectives, the
Inspector entered the office of J. NJ.
Leveque, newspaper editor, and
fired two shots at him with revolv-
.er, missing both. Whitaker had OBJ
jected to Leveque's editorials.

THE CRY Of POLITICIANS.

The best service that can be
rendered for permanent prosperi-
ty is to rebuke the assumption
which certain politicians contin-
ually are seeking to create in the
public mind, that continued pros
perity depends on the success of
q particular political party.
Our form of government con-
templates changes from time to
time, and nothing is so disastrous
as to instill in the peoples minds
the belief that there is danger to
business in changing a portion
of the officers of our govern
ment.
If the people cannot change
their officers without creating a
panic, then the logical step is to
go to a monarchy, which, of
course, none advocate.

4 DEMOCRATIC CHAL[ FNCE.

The Democratic national COM
n1ittee has made good the pledge
of the Democratic party to pub
Iish the hist of its campaign con-
tributions before the election.
This action marks a new depar-
ture in the history of American
politics, and is in marked con-
trast to the attitude of the Re-
publican party in concealing the
source of its fund until after the
ballots have been cast and count
ed. The attitude of the Demo
cratic party upon this matter is
one of simple honesty, frankness
and sincerity, while the most
charitable thing which can be
said of the position assumed by
its opponents is that it lacks cam
dor and raises grave doubt.
What redress will the American
people have after election when
they learn that the Rockefellors,
the Rogerses, the Stillmans, the
.Coreys, the Harrimans, the
Cromwells, !. the Morgans. the
Carnegies, and hundreds of other
corporation and trust officials
have contributed their tens of
thousands wrung from the peO-
pie to assist Mr.. Taft in purchas-
ing,hi way to the White House?

In his speech at Waynesville
on Tuesday of last week John
G. Grant quoting from the natl

William H. Harrison was the
republican candidate for presi-

Blaine ran against Mr.. Cleveland

was the republican standard

country a right to know now who
is putting up the money to fl
nance the Republican party2 1t
is true they do know that the
trusts, the protected interests.
and the Wall street gamblers are
the men who hold the mortgage
upon the Republican party. but
they are entitled to knowithe in
dividuals in whose names the
bonds of the Republican party
are issued.
More than so, persons have
contributed to the Democratic
fund of a quarter of a million
dollars, and not a penny of it
bears the corporation trust or
tariff faint. It is honest money,
honestly given for an honest pur-
pose. 1t is less by several thou
sand dollars than Hartman, the
railroad magnate, raised from a
source of Republican favorites to
aid the Roosevelt campaign four
years ago, and which Mr.. Harri-
man himself said made a change
of 100000 votes in the city of
New York alone. 1t is nearly
$4,000 less than Treasurer
Sheldon of the Republican nation
al committee raised two years
ago from a handful of Wall street
gamblers to finance the Hughes
campaign for governor. It is
less than the big insurance COM
panies took from the widows
and orphans fund and turned
over to the Republican party.
The publication of the Demo-
cratic fund is a challenge to the
Republicans to do likewise. If
they do not, they lay themselves
liable not only to the criticism
but the condemnation of the
voting public. But the Republi-
can party will not take the pub.
| lie into its confidence before
election. 1t dare not. It dare
mot confess the source of its cor.
Iruption fund, it dare not tell the
American people who are de.
handing tariff reform that it OBJ.
tains money from men who de
not want the tariff revised, anc
who by making campaign contri.
buttons place the Republican
party under obligations to them.
Would the Republican party
have dared to tell the people foul
years ago that it took hundreds
of thousands of dollars from the
life insurance companies, or that
Hartman raised a quarter of Z

SENATOR SIMMONS SPEECH.


The speech of United States
Senator FurnifoId M. Simmons
at the court house on Monday,
the full text of which appears
elsewhere in the Hustler today,
was one of the strongest, most
logical and thoroughly cohvinc-
ing political arguments ever. de-
Ilivered in Hendersonville. 1t
showed careful preparation, deep
study and was delivered in a
most pleasing manner. The Sem
ator left not an inch of ground
for the opposition to stand upon
and every democrat must have
returned to his home strengthen
ed in the faith and feeling the
greatest pleasure in being a mem
Der of the party which boasts of
such great achievements.
Senator Simmons, like Elk
Governor Aycock, is a favorite
here. The democrats of Hen
derson county love the man un-
der whose matchless leadership
the white people of the State
drove from power the fusion re-
gime and gave to them an
mendment to the Constitution
which guarantees white suprern-
acy in North Carolina so long as
the great democratic party re-
tains possession of the state
government. We admire F. M.
Simmons for his indominitible
courage, his splendid ability and
and the wonderful achievements
he has wrought as democracy's
leader in many a hard fought
battle. Is it any wonder the fire.
tried democrats of Henderson
county stood so Loyalty to Mr..
Simmons in the senatorial fight
eight years ago, after the signal
service he had rendered the party
in Kidding the State of negro Of
flee holders and their white allies?
All of us are proud of the fact,
especially since realizing the fine
record he has made as one of the
States representatives in the
United States Senate. So well,
in fact, did the Senator discharge
his duties during the first term
of six years, that he was re-elect-
ed by the General Assembly of
1907 without opposition.
It is needless to review the
magnificent address delivered by
this able apostle of democracy
to the citizens of Henderson
county on Monday. Let each
one read for himself and profit
by unanswerable arguments the
Senator presents in his advocacy
of the great principles and poll
cies of the democratic party. A,
careful persual of the speech,
which we have pleasure in publ
shing, will convince the most
skeptical of the justice of the
cause he represents.
