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.

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."
