Senators will put up a great battle.

JACK JOHNSON IN TROUBLE.
Negro Pugilist Charged With Abduct.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 19.-Charged
with the abduction OF a white girl,
Jack Johnson, the colored heavy
weight pugilist, was arraigned in
municipal court to-day. His bond
was increased from $500 to $500,
and the trial set for October 20.
Johnson became furious when
counsel for Mrs. F. Cameron Falcon
net, mother of the nine-year-old
girl, demanded that his bond should
be increased
When the pugilist stopped his auto
in front of a downtown bank to-day
such a crowd gathered that the po-
lice were called to make way for him.
Mutterings against the fighter were
uttered by several white men, but
there was no demonstration.
Johnson paid no attention to the
crowd but guided his car carefully
along. Once at the edge of the crowd
he drove away quickly

mother and nine employees of the sa-

HON WALTER CLARK ON EVILS
IN FREIGHT RATES.
He Shows That Governor Kitchin
and Senator Simmons Have Allow
ed the People to be Robbed of
Over $17,OOO,OOO.

Wilson, N c., Oct. 12.-Hon. Wal
ter Clark spoke at Wilson to-day I'M
his campaign for the nomination toI
the United States Senate.
Among other things he said, the
merchants and farmers of North
Carolina were justly complaining of
the discrimination of freight rates
against North Carolina towns where
by the State annually lost s10,0O0,-
900 and which had dwarfed our
towns and prevented progress. Mr..
Simmons and Mr. Kitchin had each
: been in Congress twelve years and he
declared neither had won anything in
this important matter. Indeed, said
he, Mr.. Simmons had voted against
a measure which would have given
some relief, that now to Offset his
neglect and his vote against this
measure, Mr.. Simmons claims credit
for securing a few thousand dollars
appropriation for eastern waterways.
Congressman Small and Thomas, he
said, also claimed credit for these ap-
preparations. But" said he, cit is
merchants who secure a few thou
sand dollars for waterways, as the
fact that they still suffer from
freight rate discrimination which
neither Simmons or Kitchin attempt
ed to prevent"
Judge Clark also mentioned the
100000 tobacco tax annually levied
on the tobacco raisers of this State
and by which device the tobacco
trust was kept in existence and Meth
er of his competitors during their
twelve Congressional years had done
anything about it. He pledged the
people that if elected to the Senate,
he would at once introduce bills to
secure justice in these matters to the
farmers and merchants and would
fight 1t cut to finish on the floor OF
the Senate.

Wilson's Election Would Hurt the
Farmer.
Clinton News-Dispatch. ]

Clinton NeWs-Dispatch.
Two Democrats were conversing
the other day when one of them
said: 81 am offered fine price for
my farm and l am going to sell it
and buy another which l have in
view" The other Democrat replied
thusly: Sell your farm now while
you can get a good price for it, then
put your money in the bank, because
Wilson is going to be elected Presi-
dent, and in less than two years you
can buy that farm for less than half
what you can buy it for now" So
you see, beloved, according to Demo-
cratic reasoning, our farm lands will
depreciate in value more than so per
cent if Wilson is elected. Wonder if
any one will vote to destroy the price
of his farm lands?
