IMPROVEMENTS WILL GO ON
Increased Earnings of Railroads Make
Drastic RetreHOhment Policy Un-
neoessary-Betterments
to Continue

There is a better feeling in regard to the
future among railroad men. They are of
the opinion that the worst has happened
and from now on there will be an i'm
provement. Some months ago most of the
railroads began to stop all work that was
not absolutely necessary. AT that time it
was thought that there would be a general
falling off in business. Such has not been
the case for outside of a few articles the
movement of freight is as heavy as it has
been for long time.
Earnings have begun to improve and
business has become decidedly better
When work was stopped drastic measures
were put in force 1t has now been found
that it Is possible to 90 ahead with some
of the work that was ordered to be di;con-
linued and within a short time most of the
railroads in the East will resume opera
tIoDs that we're stopped short time ago.

SCOTT COUNTY TRAGEDY
The Unfortunate Occurrence at the EIec-
tiOn at FairView, Va, Corrected
by Several Eye Witnesses

On the morning of election I. E. Nick
els, who was appointed judge Of election
at Fairview voting precinct, notified one
G. P. Roller that he had been appointed
as the Republican judge to assist in hold.
ing the election. Roller told Nickels that
he was not very well, and could not see
well after dark, and did not want 10 serve.
The Republicans then wanted l. P. Rob-
inett to serve as judge, as he was well ac-
quainted with making the returns on the
Poll Books, as neither Bostick nor Nickels
was qualified to fix up the returns. When
they commenced talking about opening
the polls, one j. w. Osborn walked in
with Nickels, claiming to be judge. The
Republicans did not say anything against
his serving as Democratic judge, but he
and Nickels both refused to let Robinett
serve for the Republicans. Then a gen.
eral row began. Nickels swore he would
die and go to he'll before Robinett should
mark the tickets. Nickels came into the
house in very bosterous way, kept
swearing if Roller did not serve there
would be no election, keeping his hand in
his breast pocket on his pistol, and occa.
sionally drawing his hand out exposing
the handle of the pistol to public view.
Osborn seemed as stubborn or more so
than Nick Els. A mason of the Republican
side plead with Osborn, who was also a
mason, to let them have the man of their
choice, as the Democrats had two, that the
Republicans had no chance to get any adj
vantage even if they were inclined to do
s.. By this time Nickels and Osborn had
walked back through the door to another
room, and it seemed that all would be
quiet very soon. The mason who had
plead with Osborn for their rights, thought
things would be ready very sooL to or
ganize, so he sent man down to Fair
view, 800 or 400 yards TO get a justice of
the peace to swear in the judges and
clerks. But from the way Nickels and o.
born were acting, some of the voters be.
came uneasy fearing they would pass out
at back door and get away with the tick.

COBDEN'S MISTAKE
Mr.. Chamberlain Points how The Uni ed
States Fooled Prophecy.

From Mr.. Chamberlain Birmingham Speech.
"Now then / come to my next point.
Here is one of the great changes which we
have to recognize, which have. altered the
whole situation since Free Trade was adj
opted. Mr.. Golden based his whole ar
gument upon the assumption that he made
in good faith that if we adopted Free
Trade it would mean free exchange be-
tween the nations of the wOrld-(hear,
hear)-that if we adopted Free Trade five
years, ten years, would not pass without
all other nations adopting similar sys-
tenn. That was his belief, and upon the
promise, the prediction which he offered,
the country adopted Free Trade.
"Unfortunately, he WAS mistaken. He
told the people of his day that what he
wanted to do was to keep England as the
workshop of the world and the rest of the
world was to be the wheat6eld for Eng
land. | came across a passage in Mr.
Morley's Life, the other day, which really
now, when you think of what has actually
happened seems to be almost astounding.
Mr.. Golden said that the United States of
America, if Free Trade we're adopted,
would abandon their premature manufac-
lures laughter THAT the workmen in
their factories would 60 back to the land.

"Mind, now, l am quoting his exact
words, they would dig, delve and plough
for US '(Langhter and cheers If that
had been true / doubt whether ! should
have been here to.night-(l augbter)-But
it was not true. The Americans have not
so conceived their national destne-
daughter they have not believed that
they were created by Providence in order
to dig and delve aLd plough for us,

they have natural resources even greater
than our OWN they have thought that
they could manufacture as well as we, and

future have been much more correct that

then, for the next half minute, the noise
put a man in mind of noises along in the
COS, and when the smoke grt out 50 we
could see Nickels and Osborn we're dying
on the floor. Keys was carried out and
Catron was able to walk out into tue yard.
So this is as near true history of this un-
fortunate affair as could be seen. Catron
is wounded very badly in face and neck.

The total value of Southern export trade

should remember how little they made by
similar course in the Hawaiian affair.
The American people support President

they did that of Presidents Harrison and

GOES WITH THE LAND
Panama had the Right to Withdraw From

Statement ..
From the Boston Herald Qnd.)

From the Boston Herald Qnd.)
The view expressed by Secretary Hay
in relation to our obligations concerning
The Isthmus of Panama imposed by the
treaty with New Granada, to the effect
that the treaty goes with the land, !"
seems to be petty thoroughly borne out
by The facts of history The Republic of
New Granada was a confederation of SOW
eregn States, bound together by the loos
est of ties. AS such State, Panama, in
1857, took advantage Of Its constitutional
riguts, and peacefully withdrew from the
confederation. Meanwhile, the treaty re-
NAMED in force But, of course, it could
not have applied TO New Granada as there
after constituted, for that republic thence.
forth had nothing more to do with the
isthmus. So very naturally the treaty
event With the land"
When in 1861, New Granada resolved
itself into the United States IF Colombia,
Panama voluntarily resumed its former
ties and became one Of the States, reserv-
ing, however, the right Of Secession. But
when, under the constitution of 1886, now
in force, the United States of Colombia
abandoned the federal principal and be.
came the "Republc of Colombia" the
States were transformed into "depart.
ments, and state sovereignty was abro-
gated. Panama and Cundimarca, as re-
fractory States, were against their will re-
duced to mere territorial dependencies,
governed solely by officials appointed from
Bogota. Panama, however, had never
renowned the right of withdrawal, accor-
ding to the terms under which she re-
entered the Colombian union, and there
fore, she now appears to he clearly within
her rights when she, for good and euili-
cient reasons, resumes her independence.
Naturally, the treaty of 1916 again
"goes with the land and henceforth has
nothing further TO do with Colombia, any
more than It had with New Grenada
when that portion of it which the treaty
concerned dissolved its old connections.
