PA<T ORIGIN!
.Grew Out Of Chargs That!
U. S. Wronged Her in
Panama Affair.
The Colombian teaty passed b\
the Senate gre . out of the cliarg?
that the Unit.cl .State ha* wronged
Colombia in the part*
' , Panama. H wa.* or,.:1 '.hint; It;. a frequence
of man); coanecieu \yivi\ the

what was charaeieri.7i<J(! (>.v it. opponent
''tho! takinft" o; th^ istlimuby
Theodore Roosevelt while Can.
. gres.s debated."
Briefly stated, these who urg
ratification, of the treat. cha*vrv.
that when Panama revolted ;r??.,i
Colombian rule, American nava?
forces prevented Colombia from re
covering her lost territory.
Those who opposed ratification
of the treaty charged that Colombia
had long1 been engaged in lying
to "hold up" the Unit hi States
for a large sum of money lor a
canal route; that Panama, once an
independent state, revolted fror.:
Colombian rule for just cause and
thai the presence of American naval
forces had nothing to do nn-:t'"
the failure of CoiomMa to ionPanama
back into her state.
Charge* Made
I- short, it was charged that
the United States winked or con.lived
at the Panama revolution t<?
jret the canal zone. This chargwas
denied with equal vig >r. The
treaty was at first negotiated expressed
"the regret" of the United
States . Later the treaty wa* redrawn
to merely pay $25,000,000 to
Colombia. It was argued by the
treaty opponents that the payment
of $25,000,000 was in itself an ad-,
mission that the United States had
wronged Colombia.
.In the wrangle which has lasted
over many years few facts seem to
bo uncontroverted. It does seem
undisputed, however, that President
Kooseveit, acting under authority of
a law fathered by the late Senator
Spooner, of Wisconsin, negotiated
a treaty with Colombia by which
the rights of the old French Canal
company to build the oana' wit'"1 \
a cash payment of $110,000,000 and
an annual payment of $250,000. The
treaty was ratified by the United
States senate. /* ut the Colombian
senate refused to accept it. The
mnt.ivox which were said to have
actuated the Colombian senate in it^
refusal furnished the ground work
for some of the charges againsf
Colombia by the opponents of the
present treaty.
DoLesseps, the French cana'
builder, had spent millions of dollars
aiul thousands of lives in unsuccessful
efforts to build the cana'
and the project was the world's
dream for at least two centuries.
On November 8, 1903, Panama revolted
and set itself up as an independent
state. A small Ameiican
naval force, less than fifty men, the
record says, was landed to protect
Americans. Ten days later the
United States recognized Panama
as an independent state, guaranteed
her independence, and later
made the treaty by which the1 canal
7a.ne was cedcd to the United State.?
a: d the cana' wa? built.
Colombia's Claim
C'.!ombia claimed that accord in'?
to the terms or the American treaty
of 1846 with New Granada, to which
Colombia succeeded, the United
States was bound to maintain the
sovereignty of Colombia over Pa-iama
and to preserve neutrality in
the Panamanian revolt.
About these points the dispute
has raged for more than s'vt^en
years. Back of it all was the implication
that the United State*
i. ~: i i j i . , ,
unuiuc* I * cose up IP.C cantl'
barpain with Colombia, "arranged"
the Panama revolution in some way
und put the deal through with Panama.
The treaty opponents contended
that the ratification of the
present treaty would sustain those
contentions which they denied and
place a stain on the memory of President
Roosevet.
The strange shifts that often oc?cut
in poliical tides find an illustration
in the history of the treaty.
It was negotiated at the instance ot
"William Jennings Bryan, a Democratic
secretary of state, submitted
by a Democratic minority, recommended
for ratification by a Repubfcan
President, Warren G. Harding,
-and urged by leaders of a Senate
prepondrantly Republican. The j
treaty as finally drawn, however,
differs from that signed, at Bogota
on April G, 1914, and placed bet.
ii. n i - i
joiv uie Dcnaii' i>y rresvtent Wilton,
on Juno lfi, 1014, the principal
change being tho elimination
f a paragraph whereby the United
States would have expressed its rorret
to Colombia for the loss of
Panama.
Purpose of Treaty
Tho purpose of the treaty as ex
pressed in its preamble is "to rest
ore the covdial friendship tha*
formerly characterized the relations
between the two counties and also
to define and regulate their right;?
.and interests in resnect of tho in
* tor-oceanic canal which tho government
of the United States has con
Ftructed across tho Isthmus of Panama."
Article 1 provides that the treatment
accorded citizens and products
of Colombia in transportation
through the Panama Canal and
over the Panama Railway shall be
oqua! to that given citizens anc
-products of the United States.
Article 2 obligates the Unitec
States to pay to Colombia $25,000,
000 gold, $5,000,000 within si>
months after the exchange of rati
fixations and $5,000,000 annually foi
.four years.
Article ft obligates Colombia t.<
rccogfnize Panama as an independent
State, defines the boundary between
Colombia and Panama, and
obligates the United States to use
its good offices to obtain the estabishment
of diplomatic relations between
Colombia and Panama and
to bring about the adjustment oi
(iuestions of pecuniary liability between
these two countries.
'I he concluding article provides
for the exchange of unifications in
Hogota, ihe Colombian capital, "as '
soon a* may be possible."
BURGESS ITEMS!
The Co'Mns CrecK- School'Came fco
a close Friday, April !V.\ after a vary
successful term, targht by Mis {
ticneviev Willcox, o.' Muriels Inlet,
S. C< This was the second term
t usght by Miss Willcox at this place
and we must say she deserves very
i U'ch credit for the work she has
accomplished while here. We also
wish her much success in her future
wo*k.
There was no prepared entertainment
gotten up for the closing day,
but a few of the parents and friends
gathered at the .school house and
were highly entertained by the
teacher and pupils. There was a fine
exhibit of school work, including,
spelling blanks, composition, map
drawing, etc. 1
Lucy Yereen, sixth grade, won the,
nrize for the best spelling blank. |
Horace Hurgess, second grade won!
the prize for the best writing.
Then there were two of ICugene
Field's poems recited by Gordon Cox ,
and Franz Ludlam. Gordon Cox won
the prize foi the best speaker but
both boys deserve credit for their ef- {
forts.
There were three prizes offered
for three different spoiling1 matches.
Walter Ludlam won in the 1st and j
2nd grade match. Kelly Jones won
in the 3rd grade match.
Then the ?whole school was used !
in a match, girls against boys. Tennessee
Smith, 4th grade spelled them j
all down and won the prJ,/.e in this!
match.
The school and 'riends adjourned
then until the next morning. At
10:00 o'clock we .ill met a the "Hermitage,"
which is Miss Willcox's
home, one of the most delightful j
places at Murrels Inlet. Here we
were again highly entertained by
Miss Willcox and her mother.
Following are some of the features
of the day:
First, we went to the water edge
and were engaged in kite sailing.
Next, back to the house and were
entertained by music on the- Victl ola.
By this time the bountiful supply
of fish, furnished by Mr. Glasscock,
of Brookgroen, S. C., was ready to
be served. We all assembled on the
the lawn, where tables had been arranged
under a beautiful oak, just
hanging with moss. This was a
lovely dining room, with grey ceiling
and green carpet, which was all
nut urn's own handiwork.
On the tables were spread all
kinds 'of good things to eat, which
was very much enjoyed, and especially
the fish.
We then .just lounged about as we
pleased for an hour or so, and then
we were served with ice cream.
About an "hour before the golden
sun descended behind the western
hills, we all took our departure for
home, after spending a very pleasant
day and one t'mt will long be *en?enbered
by tlv? Collin-? Creek

EX( IXLENT HAY
RIGHTLY CURED
If cut at thn right stage of growth.
; pr; p -r'y handled, cowpeas make
\;cellent hay of high feeding value.
I Bureau of Plant Industry of the
United States Department of Agriculture
shows in Farmer"' Bulletin 11 f>3,
issued recently, that this hay is as
valuable as that from other leguminous
crops, and is relished by all farm
animals.
Throughout me ouumciu ?
cowpea hay has been extensively used
and is the main dependence for hay
>r? the plantations. Well-cured cowpea
hay has proved satisfactory foi
stock and for beef or milk production,
and has given good results when fed
to poultry, hogs and sheep. It is said
to be better suited for feeding cows
than horses. Partly on this account
and partly because of the difficult"
often experienced in properly curing
'.he large growth of succulent vines
and its corsenes and unevenness it
quality, cowpea hay has little standing
in the city markets. When it be
f ines generally recognized that thu
hay is a source of protein which car
raised on the farm, the quantity of
high-priced concentrated feeds pur
based for young animals or dair,-.
cows will bo very materially reduced.
As a ru!o, cowpeas should not be
~ut for hay before the pods beirin U
?nm vwllow. The best uualitv is pro
luced and the hay cures most res?dil.\
if the vines are cut when most of the
pods are full grown and a large number
of them arc mature. If cut bo<*ore
this stage the vines are watery
'ind difficult to cure, while if left too
late before cutting there will be a*
unnecessary loss of leaves in handl'ng
and the stems will be tough and
'.voody.

containing information as to th<? prep
iration of cowpeas for various uses,
may be had upon request of the United
States Department of Agriculture

columns recently which is found to!
have done some injustice to Mr. W. I).
McCormack. Mr. McCormack is Assistant
State Veterinarian, while according
to the news article in The
Herald, he had been sent here to work
under Demonstration Agent Mr. W.
O. Davis. Mr. McCormick works independently
of any of the Demonstration
Agents, although, of course, he
he may be situated . He is supposed
to 1)0 sent by the State Veterinarian

that in Horry county would be found

Last wcolc there was an outbreak of
hog cholera reported at Murrells Inlet
iii the herd of Mrs. Vereen, all of
the hogs which had taken it had died,
but she had six left when Mr. McCormick
got there and vaccinated them.
There were no further deaths among
the hogs . He vaccinated seventy-five
head of hogs belonging to the following
farmers: J. F. Vereen, B. H. Vereen,
