Jos Oil. to the Constitution.

Washington, December o.
President RooseVelt's prompt
recognition of the republic of
Panama is destined to play an
important and far-reaching part
in the bitter fight which will be
precipitated in congress when
! Virginia brings toward herprop-
osltlons TO place the statue of
Robert E. Lee in statuary hall
to occupy the pedestal allotted
to the Old Dominion Sta :.e for her
favored son.
The southern contingent in
congress will point to the fact
that the Washington government
in its Panamanian policy has not
only admitted the. right of the
state to secede from the fedora
ton of which it is a part, but has
Endorsed secession outright by
the haste with which President
Roosevelt formally recognized
the new republic, received its
minister and disptched warships
to the scene of action to prevent
Colum bia from retaking the re-
belling state. They will futher
point out that in the very first
article Of the Hay-Bunau-V arilla
treaty which was signed by
Secretary Hay and the Panama
minister almost before the Bogota
government really knew what
had taken place on the isthmus,
the United States agrees to
maintain the sovereignty of the
seeding state. This article of
the treaty reads:
7 The United States recognizes
and will maintain the sovereign
ty of the republic of Panama.

err, this county, was shot and
morta1ly wounded by Miss Katie

ed to embrace her. The girl
fired four shots, two of which
penetrated Howardson's chest.
He will die. The girl, after fir
ing the fatal shots, called up the
telegraph operator at Williamson,
related her experience and said
she would no longer be on duty

quarter of mile in the darkness
and surrendered to a magistrate.
No one witnessed the tragedy,
the inhabitants of the village all
being asleep: at the time. She

Last evening mum Der of our
citizens assent at DR.. Powell's
Office to consider this new pro-
JeCt and discuss its bearing On
this community. It was the unan-
imous sense Of the gentlemen as
sem bled as we'll as those who
were too busy to be there, that
we not only wanted Mr.. Fitzger-
aid and his new army of old
soldier settlers but they need us.
Our climate, our soil, our city,
which is already considered their
refuge from the bleak winters of
the north and their protection
and guarantee against mistakes
and possible failure of a new
colony.
Here we offer them certainty

which there is no guesswork.
The finest agricultural land in
the world, everything considered,
the climate that is a balm to the
soul and body and JOY for all

are here to stay.
Let Mr.. Fitzgerald reinforce
the old guard with 10000, fresh
recruits from the broad field
from Oregon to Maine and he
will have founded and establish
ed a city that will be a monument
to his name for ages.
The lands are still cheap in
this vicinity aud the influx of half
as many people as Mr.. Fitzger-

would double, treble and quad

Fitzgerald and every new settler.
