CALLS FOR FACTS *? THE DATA ON THE PANAMA PLOT WANTED BY SENATE. A ? ASK TAFT TO GIVE THEM Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska, Speaking for Ills Proposal, Denounces the United States' Part in the So-Called Revolution in Columbia Engineered by Roosevelt. The United States Senate on Friday adopted a resolution calling 011 President Taft to submit to it all the correspondence with Colombia deal+ ing with the acquisition of the Panama canal zone by the United States. The resolution was offered by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, who urged its adoption in a speech in which he charged former President Roosevelt with participating in a conspiracy to foment the revolution by which Panama was lost to Colombia and the canal zone became the property of the United States. There was no division on the vote of adoption. Mr. Hitchcock in his speech charg> ed that the conspiracy which resulted in the dismemberment of the Colombian republic occurred in the United States with the approval of the highest United States ollicials and the spoliation was largely in the interest of a combination of influential capitalists who controlled the French Panama Canal company. His resolution, ho said, would enable the people to know "whether we are honest and Just, and whether the time has not come when we should act the part of decency, if not generosity, towards Colombia." The senator assailed the Washington government's course and referred to what he said was a blunt declaration of ex-President Roosevelt In a speech recently delivered in California that he "took the canal zone." "It is not proper," he said, "to look up in oflicial archives the sensational ni"i /Huirrjwfii'ni rnprird of our treat ment of Colombia, our breach of sol^ einn treaty, our institution of an ini surrection, our spoliation of a weak sister republic." it was too late to restore Panama to Colombia, he declared, because the United States' title to the Panama canal and through the influence or the United States the existence of the Panama republic were settled for all time by international agreement. He believed, nowever, that justice would not be done until the canal controversy had been re-opened and Colombia s claim against the government for damages had been settled. "The Americans know," continued Senator Hitchcock, "that Roosevelt cut short all negotiations with Colombia for possession of the canal strip, and at the psychological 1110^ i: cut ordered the Nashville of our American navy to Colon, arriving there November 2. On November 2 a Colombian gunboat arrived with troops for garrison duty at Panama and at that time our American officers had reported everything quiet cp the isthmus and that Colombia was in undisputable control of the province. High officials in Washing^ ton were frantic for news as to the revolution and the next day, the rep resentatives of the American navy were restraining the troops which Colombia had sent to preserve order and to put down any insurrection, % that ridiculous, comic opera revolution occurred in the town of Panama, a few miles away. "The American people knew that if the 0UO troops of Colombia had been permitted to reach the town of Panama there would have been no revolution. This was done notwithstanding a solemn treaty of peace and friendship existing between the United States and Colombia, under which the United Slates guaranteed to preserve Colombia's sovereignty on ^ tho Panama isthmus in return for certain rights and privileges which tho United States had secured there. "Tho pretense for all this was that Colombia had refused to acM cept United States' terms as to the Panama canal. Wo wore proposing to buy from the Panama canal company, represented by Cromwell and other New York financiers, their rights to the Panama canal. Whatever rights they had came from Colombia. Our representatives dre\s ii]) a treaty under which tho United States was to pay the company and secure rights in the canal strip needed to perfect its title. Either government had a right to reject the treaty It was naturally ratified by the United States, but Colombia finally re jected it because it had no power tc But render sovereignty over the strlj without some amendment to the con ( a Btltution. "Colombia was absolutely withii her rights." Senator Hitchcock re ^ ferred to the pending arbitratioi 1 treaty as likely to lead to entangle nients with Great Britain and said lu would like to know why "some o these associations that are spending Andrew Carnegie's money and sonn of these orators talking for arbitra tion under his pay do not advocat arbitration of this claim of our siste republic." SPRING IS COMING IT 18 NOW NEARLY TIME FOR WINTER TO VANISH. ' I Average Date for Last Killing Frost for This Section is March 23, Aci cording to Records. The State says while the days con- , cinue dark and dreary and there's a dampness and chill in the air that is little in keeping with spring, a glance back ovey the weather records for tho past quarter of a century is cheering. They show that half of those years had their last killing frosts between March 16 and 23, inclusive?a period jf eight days. The average date of ;he last "killing" frost in Columbia Is March 2 3. So hereabouts it's been 'twenty-three?and skiddo" to winter, and if tliis year follows along with tho average there are only two ? ? ^ r. / vP MAol nrtnlnr UIUI U WUUIVO Ui i uai n nn^i But spring is fickle and can't be counted upon. Sometimes she is a forward miss and comes skipping in early?sometimes she is shy and keeps holding back with her flowers hidden teasingly, until finally, she rushes forward impulsively and flings her blossoms broadcast. The year 1889 marked one of tho former moods of springtime, and it was as early as February 2 4 that real winter lad his final fling. On the other hand in 1905 spring was so tardy '.hat winter kept intruding and, as late as April 17, sent a damaging frost. Three-fourths of tho last killing frosts of spring time have occurred between March 9 and April 5. After ;his last named date the chance for i harmful return of winter is small, only 15 per cent, of the past 24 years experiencing a killing frost that date. The weather man, in giving these statistics, wished it well understood hat they should not be construed as i forecast that there will be no killng frost this year after April 5. In he long run, however, ho declared hat it will prove to be true that in xpproximating five out of six cases aone will occur after that date. The excessive rains lately have raised the question as to the annual )recipitation around this section, whether there is usually an excess or * deficiency in the course of a year. So the weather man turned the pages jf his big hooks and set down the figures for the past 2 4 years, which show that the period from 1 800 to 1807, inclusive, was, with the exception of 1805, dry; the period from 180 8 to 1906 (except 1004 ) was wet, ind the period from 1 007 to the )resent date has been dry. Last year (191 1 ) was 3.3 inches below the nornal rainfall. The average precipitation for this section is 4 6.1 inches. Therefore, in 24 years, 12 have aad more than the regulation moasire of moisture, and 12 have been iehind. The year 1012 bids fair to lepart from the normal and to join he "wets." MORE HOC.S IIEINC* RAISED. ? There lias Hern a Iairge Increase in (he Southern Stales. According to statistics compiled by the Southern Railway there has been a marked increase in the hog industry in the Southern States. This is interesting since, according to agricultural department, there has been a decrease in the United States. According to the agricultural department. 65,4 1 0,000 hogs were raised in the United States last year. This was a decrease of 210,000 as compared with the previous year. On January 1, 1012, the number of hogs in the nine southeastern states traversed by the lines of the Southern Railway company, with the increase in each state, were as follows: Virginia, 880,000 an increase of 2G, 000; North Carolina, 1,4 0 r>, 00 0, an increase of 54,000; South Carolina, 7 07,000, an increase of 52,000; Georgia, 2,008,000, an increase of 225,000; Florida, 054,000, an increase of 87,000; Alabama 1,53 3,000, an increase of 11 4,000; Missis' sippi, 1,577,000, an increase of 15 6,000; Kentucky, 1,724,000, an increase of 08,000; and Tennessee, 1 ,574,000, an increase of 75,000. The total number of hogs in the nine states on January 1, this year, was 12,5 4 2,00 0, an increase over January 1 last year, of 887,000. The increase in South Carolina was gratifying but it should be even greater this year and doubtless will since there has been created a great deal of interest in this industry. Awful Family Tragedy.

LILY WHITE WING REFUSE TO ENDORSE TAFT OR ROOSEVELT FOR PRESIDENT A CONVENTION IS CALLED r The Executive Committee of the Capcrs-Hlalock Wing of the Republican Party Says the Other Wing Has Too Many Negro Chairmen anil Comniitteemen to Suit It. Meeting in Columbia Friday to call a State convention, the executive committee of the Capers-lJlalock wing of the Republican party, dubbed "lily-whites" by their opponents, refused to give its definite indorsement either to President Taft or to Theodore Roosevelt. The committeo's position was that, though it hud endorsed the president entlius iastically last year. Col. Roosevelt's announcement made a materia) change in the situation and rendered it expedient that the committee maintain, for the present at least, an attitude of impartiality. The committee, through the chairman, J. VV. C. Rlalock, issued a call for a State convention to be held in Columbia May 4 to elect delegates at large to the Republican convention at Chicago, and directed district chairmen to call district conventions. Ths action practically insures a contest over the State's representation in the national convention In Chicago. The wing of the party headed by 10. \V. Harris, postmaster of Charleston; J. Duncan Adams, United States marshal, and Ernest Cochran, United States district attorney, with J. W. Talbert as State chairman, held its convention in Columbia February 2 0 and elected delegates at large, instructed for President Taft first, last and all the time. John G. Capers, national committeeman for South Carolina, gave out the following statement: "The State Republican executive committee, known as the Capers, Illalock wing of the Republican party of South Carolina, met to-day with full representation from each of the seven congressional districts in the State, and called a State convention of the Republican party to meet in Columbia on Saturday, May 4, for the purpose of electing four delegates at large and four alternate at large to the Chicago convention of June 1? next. "TVin nnmmlifoft nlsn nrnvided for the calling of conventions in the se*on congressional districts in the State at once?that is, within thirtj days after notice. The committee took no direct action as to endorsing Taft or Roosevelt, but passed the following resolution on that subject: " 'Nearly one year ago this committee, in session here in Columbia, heartily endorsed the renominatlon of President Taft. Since that time, however, Former President Roosevelt has definitely announced his willingness to accept the Republican nomination. We are unable to measure the effect of the changed situation upon the views of the men who will be elected as delegates to the State convention or from the several congressional districts. We do not regard it, therefore, as within the province of this committee to make a formal announcement as the delegates to the State convention and from the district conventions will be elected for the specific purpose ol \oting at Chicago 011 that subject.' "National Committeeman John G Capers and State Chairman Rlalocto were in hearty accord in stating that the unorganized and unlawful mob who claimed to be the regular Hepublican organization in this State applied to their organization the name of 'lily white' for politica purposes and for Northern consumption, solely because the Capers-lRalock organization protested againsi the organization in the State being all black, as the Tolbort organizatlor 1t?* with its fortv-two negro count} chairmen out of forty-three counties the six congressional negro chalrmer out of seven and its twenty-thre< negro members of the State executive committe eout of a possible twenty five. As a matter of fact, we have two high class negroes on our State committee and that negro men of rea merit had always been fairly treatcr by us, The committee also passee resolutions providing for nominating a candidate for congress in each o the seven congressional districts It the State, and that under present con elitions, except for such efforts li congressional districts, there woulc be no party participation in State af fairs this year." ? That teachers are too general 1; poorly paid for their labors will b< frankly admitted. Teaching is eas; work, many deluded people imagine and not properly entitled to mor than moderate compensation. Am this is why the vocation is crowdei with men and women of indifferen ability. In some respects Roosevelt an nieaso are very much alike.
