The white wife of the negro Johnson, the prize fighter, who killed herself the other day, was a woman of good family. She was devorced from a m a n of wealth, whom she had married some years ago, and later, she married Johnson. The result of her marriage is thus recited by the Asheville Citizen: ; ! "It is a. graphic story of rare human interest which the New York World publishes in . giving the life details of Jack Johnson's white wife who did a meritorious act when she took herself out of the world,. It is a story of pathos and tragedy, telling of a broken-. hearted father who was literally crushed to death by InV daugh ter's shame. It told, too, of a sister honorably engaged to mar ry in respectable circles, who saw her life's dream shattered., Another picture in all its pathe tic draping presents itself in the flight of a brother unable to bear th disgrace heaped upon his family by his sisters folly. Four lives were wrecked when this woman of respectable paren tage gave herself in matrimony to a negro, and she wrote the last chapter to a tale of. ruin and misery when she fired the fatal bullet into her brain. "I am tir ed of being a social outcast; even the negroes do not respect me," she said.. And so she died. State8ville Landmark. Claud..

The announcement that Con gressman Page would be there to speak caused several r people from Richmond county to be present. The county candidates took the rostrum first announc ing themselves and Messrs. Al len and Deaton, democratic can didates for representative and register of deeds, respectively, made short speeches.

No one answered, al though there was a good number of republicans present Mr. Page made a -spleudid speech and it was received by an attentive audience. He spoke or more than an hour and at the conclusion many in the andience insisted that he keep - speaking. Mr, Page has no ; opposition and his election is not only assured, as usual, but also . that he J will get the largest vote that' has ev er been cast forhim. - .
