The public. even after more than Q

United States it still has a Senate. That
body has compelled M. Bryan to nego.

With Denmark by threatening the rejec..

the possibility Of arbitrating the Monroe

Le Temps (Paris) is a Journal of such
respectabiltty that we cannot suppose it
would lend itself to the publication OF a
flake" of the text OF the treaty Secre-
tary Bryan has negotiated with Colon
bia. It Is a journal OF such acumen as
to forbid the supposition that a spurious
document has been palmed off on its man
Its assertion that the text of
the treaty which 1t publishes was fur
nished by the Colombian legation in Paris
Is entitled to c%redence. The publication
OF a treaty by one OF the signator1es while
1t Is still awaiting the action Of the other
is very unusual, but Colombia has not
been renowned for its regard for the sus-
capabilities of the United States. More
over, 1t may have looked upon the recent
denials from high quarters In Wash
tngton Of the statement that it had re-
ceiyed an apology from the United States
as justifying a departurs from diplomatic
usages. Making all allowances for lin
quail variations that may occur in trans
iatton and retranslation the text does con-
tain an apology for the Panama Incl
dent" This expression Of regret can
have bearing on nothing but the course
OF our government toward the Panama
revolution. II that 10 not it's bearing, the
provision OF the treaty is meaningless.
Furthermore the treaty obligates the
United States to put pressure on Panama

Chairman Adamson's Answer.
] have your favor of March Is with let
ter from Mr.. Rawlins. which I answer
with pleasure and return his letter here
with. Mr.. Rawlins' trouble is a common
one. He accepts the sophistry assumed
by the ship trust that the Panama canal
Is an American waterway and that Great
Britain is trying to run It.
Great Britain does not now, and never
did, feel any greater interest In It tina
any other maritime nation.
There have never been but two great
international canals built under treaty by
foreign capital in countries Unable to
build them.
The United States had no moro bust
ness in Central America in 1850 than Eng
land had, and the United States was
afraid England would have moro business
there. For rs years the claim started by
Henry Clay and John Adams was per-
sisted in by the United States, that any

COUNCIL DIVIDED ON
PURCHASE OF TRUCK
EVENLY SPLIT ON DEAL. SAYS
COUNCILMAN
TRIP CALLED OFF
May Be That After All, Anderson
VIII Have No Fire Engine at a
Very EARLY Date.

No. the members of Anderson'g city
council will not leave today for Co
lunbus, o., to inspect automobile fire
fighting machiD-s.
Likewise. council will not Journey
to Spartanburg fer that purpose.
In fact, council isn't going anywhere
and there is some considerable doubt
about whether or not truck is going
to be purchased right now.
Several weeks ago It was rumored
that city council would shortJ-- buy
an eutomobile to oe used as q COM
bined prnp and truck machine but
the agitation. sooa died down and
nothing more was heard of the mat
tar until Inst Thuraday night. From
this part on. this story was told yes
terday to reporter for The Intelli-
gencer by one OF the aldermen:
I'VE had heard nothing cf fire en-
gine being bought and had never
heard that the city needed. one. We
were dumfounded Thursday night
when one member of council present
cd recommendations that council at
once place an order with the Amerl-
can-LaFrance Motor Car company for
one OF their trucks and instead Of
fighting the proposition. we asked for
time to consider 1t, since we were
taken wholly uhawares. When we got
time to consider the proposition we
found that the people OF Andergan do
not see any necessity for investing
5000 II smother piece Of automobile
apparatus.
I'm the first place. since we got the
new water connections, we have suffi-
ctent pressure to tear clap boards of
the side of O house as It is. We can
easily throw water to the top OF the
highest building In Anderson and
therefore, where is the necessity for
buying another machine? Possibly
the city Is going to need another
piece OF fiPe-fighting apparatus in
time and we will all be willing TO buy
It when 1t becomes absolutely neces-
sary but at present We do not see
why q heavy debt should be saddied
on the people,"
It Is understood that three men,
hers Of city council desire to pur-
chase the trCck while three others are
opposed to the idea. II was said yes
terday by one OF the aldermen that
Aldermen Spearman, Tate and Carter
Sesire to purchase the machine and
thai Aldermen Barton, King and Dob
bins refuse to consider the IDEA.
Mr.. Barton, the senior councilman,
said yesterday that he would like fer
the people OF Anderson to thoroughly
understand the entire idea, what the
plan was and how certain members
OF council tried to work. Mr.. Barton
said, speaking for hi;lself and the
two gentlemen who stisnd with him on
the proposition, that he would not
attend any called meeting to consider
the matter. and therefore no action
would be possible because OF the lack
OF . quorum, and he and his forces
will nght against buying the truck at
all. whether 1t be at a called meeting
or IN regular session OF council.
It seems to be the general opinion
that the purchase or an automobile
fire truck will bc delayed for a few
weeks.

FIRST DAYS SESSION
OF CRIMINAL COURT
ONE MURDER CASE DISPOS-
ED OF YESTERDAY
WAS "NOT GUILTY.
Crowd Here for First Day of Cen
eral Sessions Was Smaller by
Far Than Usual.
WAS "NOT GUILTY.

The most notable fact in connection
with the first days session OF the No
vember term of criminal court for
Anderson county was the absence of
the usual large-first-day court crowd.
Quite a number Of people were in the
city but nothing like as many people
were seen in the court room when the
hour arrived for opening as is usually
the case.
Judge r. Wi.hers is presiding while
Solicitor KuFty p. Smith, Stenograph-
er Clyde Sr,itl, and the other court
officials are all in their proper places.
During the day the Grand Jury re-
turned number of indictments, the
majority being for offenses of minor
nature. In the case of Bessie Cleye-
land, a negro woman, charged with
shooting and killing Harry Boston,
another negi0, no bill was returned,
1t was stated in the evidence that the
man was advancing on the woman
with q shot gun when she fired the
fatal shot.
The first case taken up yesterday
was that OF Will Garrison, charged
with shooting and killing Viii or
"BuEk" Hall. This was row about a
woman and took place several months
ago on Peoples TOW in Anderson. The
jury delibereted for only short time
and returned e verdict OF not guilty.
Clarence Johnson, charged with as
sault and battery with intent to kill,
was tried yesterday afternoon in one
case and verdict returned of guilty
of assault and battery. There is a
second case under the same charge
against Johnson. The negro was
brought to Anderson from Townville
a few days ago, charged with shooting
shot gun through an open door, two
negro women being wounded.
Just before the first days session
ajourned for the day last night, Mace
McCracken. s. negro. entered plea OF
guilty to the charge of violating the
liquor laws.
1t is presumed that the first case to
be called today will be that OF Clar.
ence Johnson and when that is con-
cluded 1t Is probable that the case OF
r. L. Cannoa, charged with adultery,
will be called.

Appetite Follows
Good Digestion

Nearly everyone INDUCES their
appetite and the digestive organs
are abused, resulting in a conges-
tlon Of poisonous waste that clogs
the bowels and causes much misery
and distress.
The most effective remedy to
correct this condition is the com
bination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin known as DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. This is a
natural, pleasant-tasting remedy,
gentlo yet positive in action, and
quickly relieves indigestion, consti-
patton, sick headache, belching, etc.
Drug stores sell DR.. Caldwell's Sy-
