accordingly. He is poisoned, the same as

SOUNDS THE KEYNOTE.
Extracts from Speech of Congress
man Peters at Augusta.

man Peters at Augusta.
Congressman John A. Peters, Of Els
worth, as chairman of the republican
State convention at Augusta last Thurs
day, sounded the keynote of the cam
paign. He spoke in his usual forceful
style, calling things by their right names.
His reception by the convention was en-
thusiastic, and his speech was interrupted
by frequent applause.
There is not space in THE AMERICAN to
reprint the speech in full, but below are
given extracts from some of the telling
points.
ON PROHIBITION.
The people have right to know our posi-
ton because in voting for candidates they are
also voting on the question of resubmission,
which has been declared for frankly by one
through subterfuge by the other.
The matter of enforcement of the law is not
an open question, and not open to discussion.
party would hardly declare for non-en-
forcement, and as actions speak louder than
words, If anybody wants to know what the
republican party will do, let him turn to the
records of the last legislature and see what it
has done.
But what about the propositions to change
the law? The attitude of the republica party
on this question is perfectly plain-cant be
Intention of straddling.
The democrats take exactly the opposite po-
sition. We hold the question to be settled,
and believe there should be no further politi-
cal agitation about it. They want a new trial
and re-hearing for the purpose of establish
ing local option system.
believe that we should say squarely to the
voters that no path to local option lies through
the republican platform.
The democrats in their platform favor a
constitutional convention to make a brand
new constitution with the prohibition anne nd
mont left outJ
The progressives favor an arrangement
which, if adopted. would permit re-sub-
mission of the prohibition amendment every
two years upon the signing of petition by
1900 persons. This opens a back door for an
attack on the law from unexpected quar-
ter. We are used to attacks from democrats,
but that the progressives should lend them
selves to this underhand and dangerous
method of re-su omission is surprising, con-
sidering what they claim to staud for. If a
man wants something of Ele like to see him
come in the front door and demand it-not

 London, December 30.-The British cabinet met in special session today to consider the American governments protest against delay to American shipping caused by the searching of vessels by the British fleet.
 The note reached the foreign office yes terday. It is not expected a reply will Sbe drafted for several days. It is pointed out that document which took weeks to draft hardly could be digested at one cabinet meeting. Sir Edward Grey scarce fy had time to read. much less to con- slider, the note before the meeting of his colleagues.
 The cabinet will seek Information at the admiralty. which department is responsi- ble for the examination of ships cargoes. FQeign office officials and the law of filera of the crown, too, will be called nrop for dinisrnetts Rpa lesal opinions
 When this procedure Is adopted Amer ioan Ambassador Page will be asked to discuss the whole question with Sir Ed ward Grey and Sir. Cecil Spring-Rice, the British ambassador at Washington, prob ably will be instructed to take up the question with the American state depart ment MT. Page has not yet received any intiniation as to the date for his confer ence with Sir Edward Grey.
 The protest continues to monopolize interest here. While 1t has come as somewhat of a shock to the public that
 differences have arisen between the
 two governments on subject that
 admittedly is difficult one the note
 generally is calmly discussed, except
 by those who declare that Great Brit ain should disregard American wishes and follow policy best calculated
 to assist the allies in the war.
 British ship owners, who are almost IS great tly concerned over. the situation as Americans, today expressed the opinion that the matter would be amicably set tied. The director of one large company admitting inconvenience was inevitable in the searching of ships. said it was pos sible some of this inconvenience might be ObNiatad.

COTTON SHIPMENT
 REACHES ROTTERDAM
Is First Consignment of Cotton to Germany to Reach Dutch Port
 Since War Began

The Hague. December 3o.-(Via Lon don $50 D. m.)--The American steam CT A. A. Raven, which arrived at Rot terdam December 24 from Wilmington, N. C., with 6600 bales of cotton. was the first vessel to reach Dutch port since the outbreak of the war with cotton consignment for Germany.
 The ship was held up three hours in the English channel by British war ships for examination of her papers.
 The freight charges for the Ravens cargo was $10 per bale, which is five times the normal rate. This increase was due to the great war risks at- tending imports destined for Germany It was stated here today by an Amer ican agent that the alarmist reports concerning dangers of navigation In the North sea might have tendency to drive the rates still higher
 Since the war started the German imports of cotton are said to have amounted to 50,000 bales, most of 1t going by way of Gothenburg. Sweden, to which port 16 vessels now are steam ing. They are due to reach Gothen-
 burg inside of two weeks. Their cargoe
