Jan. -4.?Secretary Knox's reply lo the British protest against the exemption of American coast wine shipping from tolls in the Panama canal having been received in London, it is incumbent upon the British foreign office to come to a decision at once as to the course to be pursued in the continuance of the negotiations; to determine whether the efforts shall be continued to ad Just the supposed differences between the two countries by further ex? changes or to accept Secretary Knox's offer to exchange ratifications of the Knox-Bryce general arbitration treaty as amended by the senate and refer to a special commission the task of finding the actual facts as a basis for possible arbitration. Officials here are awaiting this de? cision with great Interest because upon it will depend the probability of President Taft reaching a satis? factory settlement of the question bo fore he leaves office. Should the British government de? cide to regard as satisfactory the American statement that its appre? hensions for the future treatment of Brtish shipping in the canal are groundless and will so express itself, the Incident will be closed, at least for the time being, or until some sub? sequent congress might endeavor to act in a way as to warrant the charge of discrimination against foreign shipping. Secretary Knox, in his note, expressly invited the British government to examine the facts cited by him as a basis for his statement that through Prof. Jonson's inclu? sion of American coastwise shipping In his calculations upon which the tolls are fixed, the British objection that an unjust burden was to be fast? ened upon British shipping has been completely met. It should not require much time to confirm that statement, as it Is known that Prof. Johnson's report is also In the possession of the British for egln office, so that the way Is clear to a speedy understanding. If Sir Ed i Ore) prefers to . i . ? 11 .? eg* change ratine atlona ot tne pending arbitration trsaty, President T P Is ! . t\''.y to .]:?. ?? no ? ?? liati ' ? ? olnl thi hree tmerienn members -r special commission provided under its terms to ascertain and report upon the facts. The United States senate can not intervene at this stage to pro vent such action on the part of the president, and while it is true that the special commission would have no power to force arbtratlon of the question of canal tolls, it is probable the recommendation of such a tri? bunal, requLed by the terms of tbe treaty to be supported by no lesa than hve of the six members would carry such weight that it might be difficult to resist the acceptance of Its plan. Senators favorable to arbitration were generally disposed today to go on record in opposition to Mr. Knox"s position. Senator McCumber (Repub? lican) and Hitchcock (Democrat). both members of the committee on foreign relations, expressed them seh es Said Senator McCumber: "The sec* retary*s letter does not alter the fact that we agieed by treaty to treat all j nations alike in connection with tin i canal and that we also agreed by an other treaty lo submit ail such ques i tb?ns as this to arbitration.'' Senator Hitchcock said: 'The re ply of Secretary Knox demonstrate: that in exempting from tolls vessel. I Are You Nervous? What makes you nervous?

NARY AXI1 CASE THROWN Ol I BY MAGISTRATE. Former Rural Policeman Accused of Henlou* Crime Returns Homo and Gives Himself up to Magistrate to Ho Released Later. It was reported in the city Saturday that C. M. Young, a former rural po ilceman of Bumter county, who, with Hack Morris, another white man and constable for Magistrate Player, was accused of committing criminal as? sault upon two negro girls while hav? ing them in their custody for the os? tensible purpose of taking them be? fore the magistrate to be bound over ?1 witnesses, returned home Thursday night and surrendered to Magistrate Player Friday, before whom he was arraigned for a preliminary hear? ing. When the case was called Magistrate Player threw It out on ac? count of lack of evidence. Upon th Magistrate taking this ac? tion Young was freed of the charge which has been hanglr.." over him for about six months. It will be remem? bered that the case a-oused a great deal of Indignation among the color? ed people of the Shiloh and other sec? tions of the county when reports of the case were spread, as well as among the white population, who deemed that the law should be up? held at all hazards and every pos? sible effort be made to bring the of? fenders to Justice. Much interest was felt in the matter at the time and the grand Jury made a special present? ment asking that Judge Spain, who was presiding at the time, send a posse to the scene to endeavor by all possible means to capture the fugi? tives. The two men were not cap? tured, however, either then or later, and now comes the report, from re? liable sources, that Y'oung has given himself up and been released by the magistrate after a preliminary hear? ing. Of Morris nothing has been heard although he left for parts un? known at the same time that Young did. HANK PRIZES AWARDED. City National Hank Announce* Win? ners in I arming Contest.

At the meeting which was held Sat? urday in the Chamber of Commerce hall there were a number of the con? testants present. A paper from the City National Hank to Prof. W. L, English, head of the farm demonstra? tion work in this State, stating that the bank would give $300 in prizes in 1913, was read and heard with inter? est. engaged in the coastwise traffic, con? gress practically voted to subsidize American ships at the expense of the taxpayers. He asserts that the loss falis on the American taxpayers and none on British shipping. To my mind this presents a reason for changing the law unless we are to embark on a programme of voting ship subsidies." Those who oppose arbitration were pleased with the Knox note. Senator Fletcher of Florida said. "Secretary Kiiii\ certainly is right in saying that there has been no violation of the treaty to date. I do not favor the arbitration of the toll question nor the repeal Of the law but should it become necessary 1 should be willing to have 'he whole question passed upon by our own supreme court." Senator Townsend said: I feel now, as I have fell all the time, that the senate acted within its legal right under the treaty.

SHIPMENTS GETTING HEAVIER, THOUGH SEASON OPENED LATE Movement <>r Material from Charles? ton Manufactories is Expected t < > Ik* Heavy this Year?Railroads Read) to Handle Biggest Sort of Business?No Pear of Car Shortage Unless Bad Weather Sets in. From present indications 1913 will be a banner year in the movement of fertilizers from the Charleston manu? factories. The season is late in be? ginning this year, hut for the past few days the shipments have been in? creasing rapidly, and within the next two weeks the movement will be in full swing. Both the Atlantic Coast Line and the Southern Railway art prepared to handle the shipments with the greatest dispatch, and with favorable weather conditions, the railroad officials announce .that there is no danger of a car shortage. The Atlantic Coast Line yard at Bennetts, which was built especially for use in handling the fertilizer busi? ness, opened Monday, and the carload shipments are now sent from that sta? tion. In addition to increasing the track? age of the yard at the Six-mile, the Southern Railway has built a separate yard like the Coast Line's at Good? rich. " Ich now gives it double its former facilities in forwarding the shipments. Both roads have hundreds of box cars waiting for the "annual rush" at their respective yards, and if the weather holds good, the railroads ex? pect to give the local manufactories as many cars as they can use. The >nly chance of a car shortage would be in the event of a rainy spell, which would result in the freight cars being held up at various points. The local fertilizer men are expect? ing this year to be the largest year ever known in the sale of their goods. They claim that those who tried the "Bock Hill Plan" last year, have dis? covered to their sorrow that the crops did not yield as well as usual when useing the customary amount of fer? tilizer. Fertilizer trade as a whole In South Carolina is decidedly lively for this time of the year, and the con? tracts are calling for larger shipments than has been the case heretofore.
