To support this charge, it copied Simmons', alleged utterances from an "exchange." Simmons demauded to know what "exchange"-was meant and Webster telegraphed him r ' 'The Goldeboro Caucasian of ' October1 24th; 1894h The Caucasian being - then pub lished at Goldsboro and then, as now. edited by Butler. .
