Negro Wrote Obscene Letter.

According to a report received IN
this city last night from Bamberg,
the citizens of that town were very
much enraged by the action OF a
negro in the vicinity of that place,
and there was some apprehension OF
danger to the negro. He was taken
in custody and placed in the county
Jail, and call was made to this city
for a United States Deputy Marshal.
The matter was brought to the atten-
tion of the United States commits
sioner at this point this morning, and
the necessary papers were taken out
to give the negro a hearing before
this official. The negro will prob
ably be brought to Orangeburg some
time during the day.
A phone message about $3.50
O'Clock last night to the chief OF po-
lice informed him that negro had
been arrested in Bamberg on the
charge of attempted assault upon a
prominent white woman of that coun-
ty. The arrest was brought about
through a letter of an obscene ma
ture purported to have been written
by the negro to a prominent white
woman. The letter was placed in
the hands of the authorities at once
and the negro was placed behind the
bars. Some anxiety was felt by the
authorities for the safety of the ne
gro, and it was reported that the
community was greatly enraged. The
negro was arrested on charge of
attempted assault, but it was after
wards decided that the matter should
be turned over to the United States
authorities, and this morning war
rants were issued charging the negro
with the use of the mail for obscene
purposes.
He will probably be given a pre-
liminary within a few days.-Orange-
burg Evening News.

On June 9Th, your file 209, you
wrote the commission as follows:
"Your letter June 9Th, file 1881
regarding lighting passenger station

light this depot with electricity. Pa
fpers and recommendation have been
submitted to the management and
am reasonably sure authority will be
issued for work to commence in the

The commission desires to know
why you have not installed these
lights as promised. It further re-
quests that you inform it when you
expect to remedy the troubles COM
planned of by the people of Bamberg.
This matter has now been under con-
sideration since February %, 1910,
and was handled by Supt. Hungerford
on March 4, 1910, and has been
handled by you since May 2, 1911.

stated in yours of June 9Th.

N0FOE
CANAL DEFENSE
United States Feels Assured
British viii Not Object

Washington, Jan. 23.-one of the
facts likely to be brought out in the
debate in the senate and house over
the fortification of the canal is that
Great Britain will not object II the
canal is fortified.
While no official statement has
been given out to this effect. there il
high diplomatic authority for saying
that IL the United States shall decide
to go ahead and fortify the canal,
Great Britain will not interpose.
The question OF the attitude Of the
British government in this relation
is of the utmost moment. 1t is q
question over which RACES much diff
ference of opinion as to whether UNI
der the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. this
country can go ahead and fortify the
canal. 1t is clear that this country
has the right to fortify the canal for
the purpose OF policing It. But
whether this country has the right
TO go farther and erect powerful
fortifieations intended TO resist en-
croachment on the canal property in
time Of war is much disputed.
But this dispute becomes academic
il it shall turn out that Great Britain
is willing to have the canal fortified,
at least is unwilling to go to the
point of objecting.
Great Britain has been sounded,
and there is good reason to say that
this government feels assured that Il
has no reason TO apprehend British
objection.
II is to be supposed President Taft
has been well aware OF this in his
advocacy OF the fortification OF the
Panama canal. The state depart
ment has satisfied itself on the ques-
tion and President Taft undoubtedly
is acquainted with this fact. In adj
yocating fortifications he has been
aware that he was taking course
that would not bring this country
into serious clash of policy with
England.
