WaHhington. 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

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:

I Are You Nervous?
What makes you nervous? It is the weakness of your
womanly constitution, which cannot stand the strain of the
hard work you da As a result, you break down, and ruin
your entire nervous system. Don't keep this up! Take
Cardui, the woman's tonic. Cardui is made from purely
vegetable Ingredients. It acts gently on the womanly organs,
and helps them to do their proper work. It relieves pain
and restores health, in a natural manner, by going to the
source of the trouble and building up the bodily strength.

Mrs. Oractj Fsrtncr, of Man, W. Va., took Cardui.
This is what sfct bays about It: "1 was so weak and
nervous, I could not bear to have anyone near me. I had
fainting spells, and 1 lost flesh every day. The first dose
of Cardui helped me, Now, 1 am entirely cured of the
fainting spells, and I cannot say enough for Cardui, for I
know it saved rny life." It is the 1? t tonic lor women.

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.

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. I ohjeel to submit?
ting the matter to arbitration, and
? it should reach the point where it
would be necessary to refer the mat?

FERTILIZER TRADE BOOMING.
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. A

The sale of fertilizers in the twelve
Southern States last year fell 357,841
tons short in the figure for the year
before, wheh was 4,361,464 tons, South
Carolina consuming 92" !42 tons, was
