Curio Of Gen. Stark 5 Campaign.

North, who lives on the Summit, y
was saving up an oak log in the
woods near his place few days
ago when the steel teeth came in
contact with metal.
The log had been felled the win
ter before. North abandoned the
saw and resorted to the axe, after
10 minutes OF hard labor, he dis
closed the butt of what appeared
to be a hatchet firmly imbedded in
the trunk of the tree 10 inches in
from the bark
A little more cutting and the
hatchet fell out, and proved to be
an Indian lomahawk covered by
rust. but still in fair state of
preservation. North could e
traces of an inscription on the blade
and after carefully washing off the
rust he was able to make out sew
eral words.
The name Peter Snow" was Wis

handle al little in front of his
was "Gen Stark's Army, 1777."
There were two other words that
could not be made out, and then the
words "white squaw.' A rough
line drawing of fox was scratched
on the reverse side of the blade and
below that two eagle feathers.

near Lowell Lake, a short distance
from where the tomahawk was
found.
He later took part in the battle

have been found near the camp,
which is now marked by an old bury

resident of this place discovered,
under two feet of soil, cannon ball

found BY North. But it had no in

around it until it covered 1t. The

FOR THE PANAMA TREATY.
lATLANTA CONSTITUTION

y Editor Constitution: | b {
read with great interest your con
vincing editorials on the Panama
question.
For many years past have been
an enthusiastic advocate Of an 18th
main canal, for am convinced
that it will do more for the up
building and development of the
South than every other enterprise
undertaken by our general govern
meDt since this country was wrest-
ed from the red man, or which
ever can or will be undertaken.
That canal will revoIutionize the
ocean traffic and commerce of the
world, and bring it through the
gateways of our South Atlantic
and gulf ports. 1t will not only
give the South what she has so
long and sadly needed, direct trade
with Europe, but will move the
cotton markets from New York,
Bremen, and Liverpool to Charles
ton, Savannah, Brunswick and
New Orleans, and other Southern
cities and ports, and which means
putting more than two dollars in
to the pockets of our Southern
farmers for every bale of cotton
they produce. 1t will simply save
them the railway freight charges
to New York and other Eastern
markets, knock out those wall
street gamblers and the middle
man, and bring together the cot
ton producer and the cotton con
sumer. 1t will necessitate the dou-
BILE tracking of every line of rail
way leading to our southern ports
in order to enable them to trans
port Southern coal, iron and the
other products of our fields, farms,
mines, and manufactures. In fact,
it means that the seat Of manufac-
turing enterprises of all kinds will
be moved to the South, for it is
natural for them to seek the near-
est and shortest line of cheap
transportation.
/ cannot understand how any
discerning Southerner can seek or
desire to cast a stumbling block in
the way OF an early completion of
the Panama canal, for it means as
much as everything to our sec
ton. If we could not secure that
canal otherwise, really believe it |
would pay our cotton growing
States to issue bonds to complete
it, for ii will be worth more to
our section than all the railways
we can build.

volved. 1t is then important that
we have a short cut through
which we can quickly concentrate
our fleets in either the Atlantic or
Pacific waters, and this only the
Panama canal can give us.
That Panama canal, and the
necessary recognition of the Pana-
ma republic, are not political is
sues, but are economic issues, and
as the future prosperity and up
building of the Southern States are
blending with this issue, our Rep
resentatives should refuse to join
in any effort to make it a party
question. Respectfully,
T. LARRY CAN'T.

members in the Senate lend their
efforts and votes to defeat that
treaty and thus destroy all hopes
for securing the canal, then will
the intelligent and progressive
people of this country be greatly
disappointed.
The people of the South want
and demand that canal and will
not tolerate or condone any at
tempt to make political capital by
the destruction of an enterprise
that means so much for their Sec
tion.
am free to admit that the rec
ognition of that Panama republic
was a piece Of inconsistency on the
part of the Republican party, for
it upheld and sanctioned in for
eign republic just what it stamped
out and crashed with fire and
blood in our own country and re-
public-the right Of a sovereign
people to secede from the general
government and set up an in
dependent government of their
own.
So far from our Southern repre-
sentatives rebuking p id 9 n t
Roosevelt for his position and
stand in that Panama question,
they should unanimously vote for
the ratification of that treaty, and
then congratulate the President
and his party upon having their
eyes at last opened TO truth and
Justice, and then tender the Presi-
dent the use of some of our old
declarations of secession in the
event that he may have further
use for them In its recognition
Of that Panama republic, the Re-
publican party must eat more dirt
than will ever be excavated in Dig
ging the great ditch.
Our Southern Repres entatives,
without the least inconsistency,
can vote for recognition of the
republic of Panama, for by so do
ing they not only materially bene
fit their own section, but will as
sist the Republican party into
officially condoning the same prin
eiples that brought about the great
civil war and the formation of the
Confedracy- the right of |
j portion of the people off repub
lie to secede and set up a separate
of their own.
1t really tires me to hear intelli
gent men prate about the injustice
done Colombia. Why, that So
called republic is the offspring of
several revolutions, and If / am
not mistaken this makes the third
revolutionary change in the gov.
srnment of Panama itself in the
asst half century. That treaty will
give the people of the new repub
ic Of Panama a much better and
more stable government than they
syer before enjoyed or than any
other South American republic
boasts. The only sufferers by the
evolution will be those Colon
,ians, whose greed for Uncle
SANS gold killed the goose that

Editor Constitution: We are
mutually earnest in our different
opinions, however divergent in the
Panama question, and mutually
agreed that what is morally wrong
cannot be commercially right:
Else, as the highwayman, we might
contend that any course is morally
correct SO long as we run at large
and unpunished. But to my sur
prise | have met with intelligent
but moral reprobates, who, when
pressed to the wall, would admit:
Eyes, you are morally right, but
this is q commercial advantage of
which we must avail ourselves at
any cost" These have at least the
redeeming virtue of frankness!
Theirs is startling admission,
an assertion alarming to the nation,
and yet | fear that, except for
their frankness, they are represent
atiye of a vast majority of those
who advocate ''the canal at any
cost" but who, for political rea-
sons, cannot admit of the manifest
moral depravity of our course.

The Constitution says its policy

Colombia which we had thus rec
ognized as the rightful sovereign
of Panama, gave us the power to
maintain order, by all the laws of
justice, reason, light, it was to be
SO maintained in the interests of
the rightful and constitutional au-
thority and not in the interest of
the revolutionary junta created
with our own connivance.
There were some glory or cour-
age at least in robbing a power of
our own strength. But it is only
the weak we have attack Q d
and the very manner Of it is con.
temptible, but not more SO than
is the defense made. Better no
attempt at justification.

condemn postal and departmental
frauds-why pose as purists at

You quote precedents that have
no features in common with the
present case. What had the Ameri-
can revolution, the French revolu-
tions, the Brazilian revolution and
the Southern Confedracy in com
mon with the trumped up Panama
iuntaa They were national move
ments with the dignity, the scope
and the power of the people-with
all the elements that go to make
a nation. They were founded on
political principles and not on the
greed of an hour.
The course adapted invites ruin,
and whether it is crowned with
material success of the ignominous
failure it so richly deserves, it is
stain on American honor which
can only be removed by the United
States Senate and that by its repu-
diation of the Hay Buneau- Varilla
treaty. But if the Senate and ma
tion ratify that treaty it may prove
a cancer, which will eat out the
healthy regard of the American
citizen for the honor of the nation.
What is the incentive to all this

soothl Canals have been built
before and such waterways will
no doubt be opened to navigation

still again, If the government can
build canals, why could il not, in

If Colombia's insults justified &C
ton, would it not have been the
proper course to have boldly and
specifically demanded such restitu
tions as would have been compat-
able with national dignity and
right, and commensurate to the
ills sufferedl Even to the forfeit
of the canal or the whole country.
But you heard nothing of these
things at the proper time, but now
nothing is spared that will afford
a fimsy excuse.
So much for Colombia's viola

of national integrity. But in pas
sing from this phase | may be
be pardoned the use of one illus
tration which it would seem ought
to bring the matter home as to our
international and internecine rela-
tlons.

of what you term the proposed

for the canal, and suppose our own

ministry negotiated a treaty with
Washington administration vi ere
by they would build the cana, and
that our Senate rejected it, as they
did reject treaty with England
recently. You can also suppose
all the other conditions that exist
ed in Panama. Would all these
things justify Florida in secession

ombia Panama course!

is this, that he need not fear, for
