Castro, the Exile

The people of no section of the country
have watched with more interest the
strange, though sad, plight of Cipriano
Castro, eX-president of the Venezuelan
republic, than have the people of Wash
ington, where state craft and world poll
tics divide attention with tariff tinkering
baseball and African hunting.
The Castro case has not been discussed
in the halls of congress as yet, but it has
been the subject of much quiet COM
ment in the cloak rooms, hotel Hobbies and
elsewhere, and, friendless though he is.
apparently, Castro is not without sympa-
thizers in the national capitol. Only last
night a senator, discussing the matter
declared that the attitude of the United
States toward the Venezuelan ex-presi-
dent, or dictator, was, in his Judgment
indefensible. He thought the policy being
pursued by the state department unpre-
cedented and calculated to arouse the
sympathies of the liberty-loving Ameri-
can people for the imam without a coun-
try" There are others, however, who
believe that Castro is getting just what
is coming to him, and that his crimes fit,
or Justify, the punishment that is being
melted out.
The sympathizers-sympath mind
you, not defenders-of Castro, take the
position that he left Venezuela volun-
tarily, supposedly for his health. and
that he has the right to return to his
country. Indeed, some of them insist
that he would be Justified in taking
steps to reinstate himself as president
of the republic, he never having abdicat-
ed or relinquished his title and claim to
the presidency. In a word, he has every
reason for overthrowing Gomez. who
ursurped the presidency, never having
been elected to that office.
Senator BacOn's View
Senator Bacon, senior Democrat on the
foreign relation committee of the SEN
ate, and one of the best posted men in
the country on international law and
diplomacy, regards the situation grow
ing out of the Castro case an unusually
novel one. He Is not prepared at this
time, however, to discuss it in detail, nor
to give an opinion to the merits or
dement's of the United States attitude
toward the exile. He is not familiar with
the motives behind the action of the
state department. He is watching the
matter with peculiar interest and await
ing further developments with keen ex-
pectancy
The case is surely a novel one" said
the senator, discussing the matter infor-
mally. 1T has many unusual phases,
and the developments are very interest
ing"
Asked If he regarded the state depart
ment's action with dsfavor, the senator
was not prepared to give an opinion
though he said:
THE fact that Castro as president of
Venezuela, insisted on disregarding the
rights of American citizens may furnish
reasons for prompting the state depart
ment to exert its efforts to prevent his
returning to his native country. If this
is the motive, it seems to me that this
country is readily relieved of the charge
of inter-meddling in an affair in which
it has no interest, or right to inter-
fere."
Not only has she the right, but it is
her duty as a nation to protect the in

ed together at o'clock in the morning
for that purpose. Thereupon a motion
was made to take the bill out Of the hands
of the committee and Immediately to con-

protectionist here decided that it was in
cumbent upon him to vote for this mo-

the bill was stricken out, which necessi-

concurrence. Meanwhile, Senator John
son. of Maryland, moved to commit the
bill to a select committee, with instruc-
tions like those given the discharged fl
nance committee. Senator Jarnagtn with
held his vote on this motion, and it was
now up to the vice president to decide it.
Vice President Dallas was a Pennsyl-
vania high tariff Democrat-of the Sam
Randall type. To vote for committal
would be to vote against the bill-it
would be a vote for the continuation of
the Wing protective tariff. To vote
against commttal was practically to in
sure the passage of the measure. In do

two senators from his own state, against
the majority of the house delegation from
that state, against the protection for

did vote against committal, and the result
was an early passage of the Walker tar
iff. For the third time in the history of
the union a vice presidential vote had
turned the scales on important legislation.
Calhoun had defeated the woolens bill of
1927, and Clinton had defeated the re-
charter of the second United States bank.
Protectionists hold the action of Dallas
up to public scorn to this day. while free
traders are equally certain that he acted
from the purest Of motives. He is proba-
bly, the only vice president who ever

Judq. ". Robinson

Judge w. I. Robinson, one of CARL ms
Oldest residents, died at the county
hospital about 2 o'clock this morning.
He was not only one of Carlin's Oldest
residents, but was also one of the old.
est men in the county, being in his
Goth year.
He went to the county hospital a
week ago last Saturday, suffering from
kidney and heart trouble. These with
his extreme age soon wore out his
weakened constitution.
Judge Robinson hiss been a familiar
figure in this county for nearly forty
years. In years gone by, he was one of
Carlins prominent citizens. He held
the Office of justice of the peace for
several terms and made good record
as an official. His later years were
devoted to prospecting and he located
some claims that he thought were very
valuable.

NEGROES USE COCAINE.
Said to Otain the Drug from a Ger.
tain White Man.


A dispatch from Lexington says a
prominent farmer from the Hollow
Creek section was there and stated a
fact that the law governing the sale
of cocaine was being openly and flag
rantly violated in his section. The
habit among the negroe was rapidly
becoming intolerable, in that farm
hands were using the dope to the
extent of being useless.
He says that negroes carry it
around in their pockets, selling it at
church gatherings, and in some in
stances they become wild and almost
unmanageable. One negro is said
to have had as much as S12 worth
of the drugs at one time. 1t is said
that it is much easier to peddle CO.
caine than whiskey as it can be more
easily concealed.
It is thought that a prominent
gentleman living in one of the near
towns is acting as kind of whole
sale dealer, and that the negroes and
whites that have become addicted
to the habit get their supply from
time to time.
It is said that negro moving into
the community from Prosperity some
months ago started the use of the
drug among the negroes, and the
habit has steadily grown, until most
of the negroes in the settlement use
it in preference for liquor. Both men
and women use it, it Is said.
1t will be recalled that not many
weeks ago the mayor Of the town OF
Leesville fined the violator Of the
cocaine law $500. He was tried on
five different counts convicted and
fined 800 on each count. One ne
gro. Mack Manning, is now in jail
having been sent up by Mayor Hen
dirk.
The officers are going to work on
the case reported and it is thought
that the guilty parties will be ap-
pretended.
