TRAGEDY AVERTED
BY, MARROW MARGIN

Honea Path Chronicle:
A horrible tragedy was Narrowly
averted on Main street last Monday
afternoon when an automobile driven
by Ohn Tice collided with a buggy
driven by Mr.. A. F. Mattison, cashier
of the Bank Of Honea Path. 1t seems
that Mr., Tice. in attempting to pass
another machine, miscalculated his
nearness to Mr.. Mattison's buggy or
lost control of his machine. Little
Eleanor Mattison, the five year old
daughter of Mr.. Mattison, was thrown
from the buggy but fortunately receiv-
ed no injuries. The buggy was oaaly
damaged, but beyond this no other
damage was done. 1t is fortunate tnat
Mr.. Mattison was driving a gentle
horse as his little daughter fell be-
tween the wheels and would probably
have received painful injuries If the
animal had attempted to run.

States is not, or should not be, a
commercial concern. The States
however, are claiming the right to
levy tolls to meet all charges OF
construction and maintenance and
working and interest on capital on
all ships but American; they make q
profit out Of the canal as well as
unfairly burden their competitors.
The more honest way would be to
benefit their shippers by subsidy and

COTTON DUCK FOR MOTOR TIRES

. One million yards of high grade
duck. to be made from sea island
and Egyptian cotton, has recently
been sold by a Georgia cotton mill to
a manufacturer of automobile tires.
The quality of this material Is or
the highest grade, used only in the
larger tires, the lower grade OF gooos
being available for the smaller tlres.
One million yards of cotton duck, one
ward wide. is a pretty big order to 60

CANAL rs KEY TO WORLD
TRADE DECLARES BRITONS
British Paper Upbraids England for
"Permitting" the, U. s. to make
Profit of it."

London, Sept 19.-The London
Outlook devotes large part Of the
space this week to attacks on the
United States over Panama affairs,
despite numerous warnings cabled
from New York by correspondents
of the English press that unless Brit
opinion will become unanimous in its
support of the Panama act.
Among The Outlook's article is one
headed THE Apostle Of Arbitration, "
which is an attack on President Taft;
for his defense of the measure. This.
article ends:
"Mr. Taft will have to climb down
from the extremely elevated position
he has assumed. Happily, the Ameri-
can people, to their great credit have
refused to support their president in
his recent doings."
The Outlook publishes a letter from
Major General T. Bland Strange, in
which he says:
Key to Worlds Future Commerce
whoever holds the Isthman canal
of America will hold the key of the
revolutionized commerce OF the
worlds future" This letter refers to
"the monstrous action Of the United
States, permitted by our present pus1l-
luminous government, of putting war
ships on the Great Lakes, contrary to
the treaty of 1917"
This letter concludes, when a
treaclerous neighbor asks to be al
lowed to put a pistol to your head
as a proof of amity, the man or ma
ton that allows it has no brains
worth blowing out.
C.. H. Norman also contributes a
| warlike letter, in which he says:
"The United States may give way
| under pressure OF an armed anu
indignant Europe. but the advisers
| of President Taft will not submit un-
less they are satisfied that there is
something more than words in Brit
ish protest.
Takes Comfort in Varilla Treaty
After editorially summarizing the
views recently expressed by Bunau
Varilla, The Outlook says:
at appears then that If the United
States break the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty they also break the funda-
mental treaty which they entered in
to with Panama. Suppose this last
treaty were brought before the SUI
preme court by the Panama repub-
| lie. This court would have to DO
one or two things: 1t might annul
the Panama canal act because 1t Is
against the Hay-Bunau Varilla trea-
ty, which gives the United States
their title to the canal. If it up
holds the Panama canal act as en-
titling the states to make dlscrlm,
nation Of tolls in their favor against
other nations, this would be taxing
taway their very right and title tc
he canal itself under the Hay-Bunar
Varilla treaty.
| "Dilemma of United States"
"This is the dilemma in which tht
United States are left. By the con
tvention of Constantinople, included II
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, they
must make equal and just charges OF
lall users of the canal. The Sue;
Canal Company, having done so, may

The supreme court in decision
Saturday by Associate Justice Woods,

remove r. ]. Rhame, the State bank

law and of no force. The case was
argued before an en- banc session OF d

ciate Justice D. E. Hydrick and Cir
cait Judges T. s. Sease, George p.
Prince, John s. Wilson, II. F. Rice,
Frank B. Gary and T. H. Spain. Chief
Justice Gary, in eoncurring In the
opinion said: ~ concur In the opln-
ion of Justice Woods for the reason
that the law does not provide for the

The Kerr Case
"Our conclusion is that the at
tempted removal of Kerr, from the
office of magistrate was without Ell.

since his confirmation by the senate,
a lawful magistrate Of Greenwood
county and that he, and not Nc

by the supreme court in the case OF
B. L. Mcdowell against T. c.. Bur-,

who was confirmed as magistrate by

presented in this case was Whetner

power at his discretion to remove
from office a magistrate whose ap-
pointment has been confirmed by the
senate. In deciding in the negative
the court says that the duty OF the

When we speak of the hope Of con.

we are too apt to turn the edge Of dis

the questions, and, being sustained
by the court, the defense withdrew,

Intimation Of Line Of Defense.
Only on two occasions did the
defense show any inclination to cross
examine witnesses at any length
and only once was there ay intima-
tion as to the line of defense.
Although the session of court was
short, twelve witnesses were exam
ined by the state and excused for
the day. All witnesses were under
the rule and cautioned concerning
about the case. Ex-
cused witnesses, however, were per-
mitted to go to their homes.
Today's proceedings failed to de-
yelop any new features. Practically
all that was testified to has appear
ed in matter previously published.
1t is believed that while the proceed
ings will take several days, nothing
startling will be brought out.

Those Who Went to the Airdome Last
Niuht Not Dsappointed.

The Airdome was filled last night
by large and appreciative audience
which turned out to welcome the
Harriet Players IN their first nights
performance. The pray produced
was a good one and the acting was
good-in fact it was far in advance
of anything that has been seen in
this city during the present season.
The Final Settlement" as It was
staged last night, told the old, old
story of mans duplicity and woman's
weakness. There was nothing gusl-
ing in the acting, there was nothing
suggestive in the plot. 1t was simply
the story of erring wife and the
false friend, written by one Of the
widest known playwrights of this
country and acted by as good com
pany as ever appeared before the
footliehts anywhere.
Tonight this company will produce
which the laugh of pure mirth will
be provoked just in time to check the
starting tear. In this play Ben Rey-
nolds as leading man and Mabel Hart
as leading lady will appear at their
best. Little Miss Miller will enter
tain the audience during the wait
between acts With her witty ana spfr-
tied songs rendered in that sweet
voice and style of delivery peculiarly
her own.
The orchestra. which is one of the
best that has ever entertained the

their best tonight, If it is possible
