Why Governor Hayward Feels
He Cannot Wear it.

COLUMBIA Record, 14th inst.
AT recent meeting of Confed-
crate veterans at Chester Cover.
nor Hayward was guest as well
as a speaker. The governor
made an address that took with
the old soldiers, and ono of them
was 80 enthusiastic that after the
speech he moved that the cross of
honor be conferred on the govern
or. Governor Hayward greatly
appreciated the honor intended
him, dut being young man whom
the accident of date of birth pre-
vented from participating in the
war, he felt that he could not re-
ceive the honor, though be ex.
pressed his heartfelt thanks for
tho intention conveyed in the pro.
position. The governor regrets
that he cannot wear the cross be-
cause he was too young to partic.
ipate in the war, and he considers
it great honor that an old Con-
federate soldier should suggest
that he wear it. The resolution
was introduced by Major Reid and
was carried with enthusiasm. The
governor wrote him the following
letter today in reference to the
matter and the sentiments con.
tanned In the letter will be appre-
ciated by all Confederate soldiers /:
Columbia, S G, Dec. IA, 1908.
Col. S. w. Reid, Chester, S. G.
My Dear Colonel The re-
oeipt of your letter, 9TH. instant,
was a most pleasant reminder of
my recent pleasant visit to your
town. Its contents add to my ap-
probation of the honor you con-
ferred upon me while on this trip,
and, while this appreciation is
most sincere, l shall have to ask
you to understand that l do not
see my way clear to properly make
such request. l feel that only
those soldiers of the Confederate
army who wore the grey, like
yourself, are entitled to the badge
of honor. With this strong con,
viction, you will see that l cannot
consistently ask for the honor,
which belongs entirely to the he
roes of the Loss Cause.
Please consider this a final dis.
position of this matter, and be
sure to know that this decision
does not 10 the most remote man.
ner detract from my sincere ap
probation of the honor which has
been conferred. Further discus
sion of 1T would not, in my judg
ment be wise; and l beg that if
you have anything further to say,
please wait until we can have 6
personal interview, at which time
am sure, 1 can make myselt
fully understood.
l often think of the pleasan
day | spent In Chester, and of al
your kindness to me on that oc
casion.
Trusting you are quite we'll

Columbia Unfortunate.

Washington, Nov. I8.-lt is learned here
that the Bogota situation has assumed a
critical phase as far as relations between
the United States and Colombia are con-
cerned. Minister Beaupre on the 10Th i'll
slant was pressed strongly by the Colom-
bian government to know whether the
United States intended to recognize the re-
public of Panama. 1t is understood that
the request was in such shape as to con-
stitute menace in the event that the
recognition had been extended.
Mr.. Beaupre was instructed by this gov
ernment to again inform the Colombian
government that such recognition had been
extended to the republic of Panama by
the United States, but simply in the in
terest of humanity and civilization and in
expectation Of solemn treaty obligations
binding upon the United States. He was
also instructed to tender to the Colombian
government the good Offices Of the United
States to effect settlement of the differ
enccs between Colombia and Panama. The
issue is awaited with some anxiety here.

Boyd Talks on Uprising.
ny ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, Nov IS.-Federico Boyd,
a member of the commission OF the govern
ment Of the republic of Panama, which has
lust arrived from Colon, says that in
few days constitutional convention will
meet to formulate system OF government
which will follow closely the lines of the
constitution OF the United States. In dis
cussing the revolution he was asked:
What assurances, if any, did you have
from the United States in reference to the
attitude toward the uprising
I'VE knew, of course he replied that
American men-of-war would be there to
see that traffic across the isthmus was not
interrupted by fighting and we knew for
that reason the landing of Colombian
troops would not be permitted. Outside OF
that we had no assurances. What we did,
we did OH our own responsibility and we
depended upon the justice of our cause for
recognition. The question Of possible an
nexation to the United States had not yet
been talked about"
"The sentiment of the people Of Pana-
ma" Mr. Boyd added, 'is to make the
isthmus what it seems destined to be from
its geographical position and TO place 1t
where it can perform most efficiently its
mission in the interest Of progress OF
civilization, and become what 1t has been
intended to be-a link binding together the
two Americas and a gateway between two
worlds. The building OF the canal now
lies with the United States"

cluded at : p. m.
