Idol and Frank Haithcock off Winston Attacked Last night. A Winston gentleman who was in tbe city this morning informed the Telegram that two young white bys, Robt Idol, employed in the Peoples' National Bank, and Frank Haithcock a grocery clerk, were attacked by ne groes last night and Idol was badiy hurt. The young men had gotten off a street car and were walking toward their homes a short distance beyond the termination of the car line. Haith cock noticed they were followed by a party of negroes and called the atten tion of Idol who turned and a9ked the negroes what they wanted. A negro stepped from the crowd with a knife in his hand, and with a threat bounded at Idol. Idol, though only about 17 years old, tackled the negro and threw him, wrenching tho knife from his hand. While bending oe the ne gro beating him, Idol was hit on the head by a sharp rock thrown by one of the other negroes. The rock cut to the bone making an ugly and painful wound. The negroes soon dispersed, and had not been arrested this morning. A BATTLE WITH HOBOES. Who Were Finally Left By the Road side Sorrowing. Yesterday afternoon as a westbound freight train was leaving town it was boarded near the coal chute by three hoboes. The conductor discovered them, and aided by the flagman, start ed to put them off. The tramps showed fight, however, and a bloody battle ensued One tramp, who was lame and used a crutch, had it broken dur ing the fight. Another tramp, an Irish man, received a bad cut on the leg. It is not known if the train men were hurt, but they succeeded in putting the tramps off and went on. But the hoboes were in a pitiful plight. The lame one had no crutch, and another was so badly cut that he was hardly able to walk. Policeman Jeffries went to the scene, but not wishing to place any doctor bill on the county, and on a pitiful plea from the tramps that they be al lowed to move on, he let them go, making some ragged efforts at hopping and walking. Revenue Officers Fight. Yesterday afternoon two revenue of ficers, Stewart and Thrasher by name, went to Clegg's cigar factory, in the Clegg building on South Elm street and demanded admission. Mr. Clegg was away and his younger brothers, Zeb and Bynum, were unable to find the keys to the door. As the search continued one of the officers grew impatient and tried to force the door open. The Clegg boys objected and a fight ensued. During the fracas Officer Stewart received a blow that gave him one of the most prominent eyes that ever appeared in the mayor's office. Policeman Scott arrested the quartet for an affray, and they were tried yes terday afternoon before Mayor Tay lor, who adjudged Zeb Clegg and both revenue officers guilty. Bynum Clegg was acquitted.

In view of the alarming condition of Eastern North Carolina under negro rule, of the constantly increasing dis position of the negroes to band to gether, and their increasing insolence as has been shown right here among us during the last two days, when a negro, George Brooks recently arriv ing from South Carolina called the democratic registrar, Mr. A. S. Clark, a liar, and another negro, Bill Young, drew a pistol on Dr. A. S. Cook and family ; and in view, further," of the spilling of white blood in the county of Robeson, as reported in the .morn ing papers. Resolved 1. That we deem it the duty of every decent white man, regardless of his views on National politics to come to the rescue of his race in this State. This year there is but one issue which overshadows all others : Shall the white man or the black man rule in North Carolina ? Resolved 2. That we will not regard those white men who desert their race in this hour as wo thy of as much re spect as the negro who is at least faithful to the ties of nature and votes solidly, thus indicating to white men everywhere to stand to their race. Resolved 3. That the solid vote of the negro, ignorant as it is and often led by vicious men, is equally a me nace to the counties of middle North Carolina, and that men that aid and abet this condition of things in this community should not be tolerated so cially by white men. Resolved 4. That a copy of these resolutions be placed in the hands of every white man in this township and community, and that we appeal to all as they love their wives and families and their race to join in our effort to redeem the State.
