This Time 1t IL Between Chile and
the Argentine Republic.
There are Indications Of an active revival
OF the long-pendinG boundary dispute be-
tween Chile and the Argentine Republic,
involving the possession of a portion of
Terra del Fuego, Or Land Of Fire, and a
long strip Of the Patagonian desert. 1t Is
even asserted that the controversy bids
fair to result in omen hostilities between
the two countries, In which event the
United States may find it opportune to
again exercise its influence for cencilia-
ton. as it did iniea similar stage Of the
trouble about fifteen years ago. According
to latest advices, tthpth countries are in
creasing their standing armies and are ne
gotiatfng for additional warsktps.v
The trouble dates back to 1913. when
Chile took possession of the best harbor In
the Straits Of Magellan and established a
penal colony there. The Argentine gov
eminent entered vigorous protest against
the course of It's neighbor, and diplomatic
notes have been exchanged over a series of
years.
In 1881 an agreement was reached for the
submission of the controversy to the ar
bftrament Of two diplomatic representa-
tives of the United States-Thomas o. Os-
borne of Chicago, who was minister at
Buenos Ayres, and Thomas A. Osborne of
kansas. who was minister at Santiago.
They studied the evidence and heard the
arguments. and decided that the peaks of
the Andes should make the dividing line
as far as the straits, and Fire Land" was
split in halves. Neither nation was salts
fled, but both accepted the verdict, and a
joint commission was appointed to make a
survey and erect monuments But it was
not long before the commission got into a
controversy which suspended operations,
and the two governments have been quar-
reling ever since.
It is said that Argentina wants to sub
10 orh rQf N
but that Chile is not willing to do So I'm
less an amicable settlement of the ques-
ton can be speedily arranged, through the
good offices of the United States or some
other friendly power, it is possible that the
two South American republics may attempt
settlement by force of arms.

SENTENCED TO DIE.

Dog Receives the Death Penalty
Today.
The death penalty was imposed this morn
ing In the Police Court in a case involving
the dangerous character of Irish Pat"
This is the name of John McCarthy's bull
terrier, and Mr.. George w. Ryder propri-
etor of the Dupont Stables complained that
the CANNES teeth had inflicted in his leg a
painful wound.
Irish Pat has been a fighter in his
time, and at the time of his attack on MIR.
Ryder he had but one eye.
1t was about five weeks ago when the
livery stable keeper and the dog met in
Harris Nixcn's harness store. Mr. Ryder
was anxious to- see the dog and when he
started to make an examination of him the
animal turned and made the attack inf1ict-
ing horrible wound On his leg. Fortu-
Hately, Mccarthy was there and he pulled
off the dog before he had done injury cal
culated to cause the loss of the leg.
Lawyer Darlington appeared in court as
the CANNES champion, and endeavored to
show that Mr.. Ryder's conduct was an in
vitaticn to the canine to make the attack.
Judge Kimball said he thought that Mr.
Ryder was not entirely blameless in the
matter. although the evidence showed con-
clusively that the dog was dangerous The
dog was not in court, but Mccarthy said he
could produce him.
Il shall order the dog killed. said the
court. and II he Is not killed fine of $40
will have to be paid"
I'll have him killed." said his owner
Policeman Jack said that he would exc
cute the death penalty If Mccarthy would
bring him to the station at 2:30 this after
noon, and the owner said he would have the
dog there at the time stated to be executed

The Sic Executive COMMITTEES

The State Executive Committee
hasdeelared Judge Joseph H. Earle
the Democratic nominee for the

favor Judge Earle's nomination, but
now that majority Of the white
men of South Carolina have expressed
their preference for him, we accept
the decision andswill go as far as any
towards seeing that this expression
Of the white voters Of the State cul-
inmates in his election. In making
our fghs against Judge Earle we did
nothing but what we had a right to
do, and nothing more than his sup
perters did against the man we ad-
yocated. Our man was defeated, and
we accept the result gracefully. We
viii say, however, that while John
Gary Evans is defeated, we have an
abiding faith in the people doing him
justice when he elbows that his de-
feat was brought ABOUT by intrigue,
deception and villiany in the Reform
ranks with the object, to hide the
rascality of the schemers of his des
Sruction.

thinking that the governor was the
victim of the most outrageous Wilt
any and that the exposures made, are
really true as far AS Governor Evans
is concerned, then the defeat will not
hurt the Reform party nor will it
strengthen it: The effect will be,
that it will hold it's own and show its
willingness to remedy wrong in its
own ranks. There is only one way
now to keep the Reform party from
going to pieces, and that is by a
thorough and rigid examination into
the charges made during the cam
paign. The Reformers must take
this matter in hand and sift every,
thing to the bottom: the people viii
not be satisfied with anything short
of a perfect investigation. Hew to

It is very evident that the Repub.
licans will put forward a candidate
for Congress to oppose Hon. John L.
McLaurin and their only hope ofsuc-
cess is that a Republican Congress
will throw out South Carolina's vote
on account Of the present registration
law. The Sixth Congressional dis
trict is Democratic, but a partisan
Congress can very easily thwart the
wishes of the people. The last Con-
gress was Republican, but General
McLaurin succeeded in convincing
it, that be was elected over his op-

Judge Earle and Governor Evans

Judge Earle and Governor Evans
have published letters thanking their
supporters, Both lette have man
ly ring about them. >'ldge Earle, OF
course, has a great des to be thank
full for, and while Governor Evans
did not receive the nomination, he is
not sulking, but takes his defeat
gracefully as every true man should
do. The governor does not propose
to go to the rear without making an
effort to vindicate himself from the
charges made against him and which
had great deal to do with his defeat.
