GERMANY WANTED CANAL
EUROPEAN COUNTRY WAS ANX.
IOUS FOR SUCH RIGHTS.
Nicaraguan Minister Leaves impress
sion That Powerful Empire Would
Have Outbid United States.

| Attempts by German interests to
outbid the United States for rights
to construct an interoceanic canal
across Nicaragua were reveiled Tues
day to the Senate foreign relations
committee by Nigaraguan Minister
Chamorro. The minister said Ger
mans had urged that the 100000
offered by the United States for canal
rights and other concessions was not
enough.
Senior Chamorro's statement was
received with surprise and led to
much speculation among members OF
the committee after he left the capi-
tol. Some members understood him
to mean that Germany officially had
applied to the Nicaraguan govern
ment, but the minister's difficulty in
speaking English prevented his state
ment from being entirely clear.
Members of the committee who
did not believe Germany had made
any official suggestions to Nicara-
qua were inclined to the opinion that
representatives Of German bankers
were responsible for anything that
had been done or even that Mica
ragua might not be adverse to play
ing a game Of bluff.
It was recalled Tuesday night that
| no nation could expect to build a
canal across Nicaragua to rival that
at Panama without expending hun
(dreds Of millions Of dollars and the
opinion was expressed that Germany
hardly would be likely to engage in
such an enterprise. That private
banking institutions, no matter how
rich, should seriously contemplate
such an undertaking when there is
some question as to whether the can
al across Panama ever will pay was
regarded as extremely doubtful.
Senior Chazlorro was not specific
about the German offer, but he tried
to make it plain that whoever made
it took pains to show Nicaragua that
the United States was to get much
more than she was entitled to for
SO, 100000. He appeared before the
committee particularly to speak OF
the practical effect upon Nicaragua
lot the provisions in the treaty by
which the United States would as
sumo protectorate over the country
and guarantee fair elections there as
in Cuba. His testimony, members
said, was interesting.
The minister was questioned at
some length about the American ma
rines now in the republic. lie an
swered a direct inquiry by saying
that no request had been made by
him to send the marines to Nicara-
qua some time ago. He added, how
ever, that he believed their presence
might be desired by the Nicaraguan
president, Adolfo Diaz. The marines,
he explained, occupy the Nicaraguan
White House and the American flag
flies there, but the president does not
now reside in that building. The
marines now guard the Nicaraguan
railroad, which is controlled by New
York banking institutions.

NEXT TO LARGEST CROP.
Product of 1913 Most Valuable Cot
ton Crop Even Produced.

ton Crop Even Produced.
Final figures on the 1913 cotton
crop, announced by the census bu-
reau, place it as the largest the Unit
ed States had grown with the excep-
ton Of that Of 1911. At the same
time the estimate Of the total value
of the crop shows it was the most val
liable ever produced, it being worth
S1,043,760,000.
The quantity OF cotton ginned
from the 1913 crop, counting round
as half bales and excluding hnters,
was 13,ss2,S11 running bales, or
|14,156,46S bales Of 500 pounds
gross weight. Cotton seed produced
was 6,305,000 tons, of which 4,579,-
l50s tons were crushed.
The value of the cotton is estimst-
ed at sSS7,1So,000 and Of the seed
s156, 100000.
An interesting feature Of the 1913
production was the crop of the I'M
perial valley in South Carolina,
where 22,S3S bales were grown. 1t
has been reported the acreage plant
ed this year in the Imperial valley
will show a large increase while the
production is variously estimated at
from $4,000 to 100000 bales. Last
years production was more than
double that of any previous year
there, where commercial growing OF
cotton has been in progress only a
few years.
Another feature was the produc-
ton in Arizona, where 1929 bales
were ginned, the largest part OF
which possessed the same character
istics as that grown in Egypt. The
I1914 area shows a large increase
variously estimated at from 12,000,'
900 to 100000 acres.

opposed to compulsory education,
for he is too far behind the times"
said Mr.. Clinkscales. He showed
that the State had the right to make
people send their children to school
and he said there was plenty OF
equipment for the children.
i He made a strong and effective
fplea for the 10000 white children
who are shut out Of schools in South
Carolina, making strong point that
all the county superintendent of ed
ucation in the State favored compul-
sorry education. He stated that J.
Walter Doar, who fought compul-
sorry education in the legislature,
told him he got converted to it after
he became county superintendent OF
education in Georgetown, because OF
the facts he found. He pleaded with
the crowd to help unlock the prison
doors and let in the 10000 white
children to school. Mr.. Clinkscales
was applauded and presented with
flowers When he finished.
John T. Duncan of Columbia said
the people had heard jokers, coat
tail swingers and some who had
worn the fence out trying to find out
where they were. He said some had
one plank, and some two, and he
had invited all to get on his plat
form, his proposal of commission to
consider all matters. He again dis
cussed what he called the system.
He denounced the talk about poor
men being deprived of voting under
[ the new rules as "rot'. He said there
we're $4,000 fraudulent votes two
years ago, and because new enroll
ment had been provided "Gov. Blease
| had his bunch are raising howl be-
cause their crowd can't vote but one
now"
W. C. 1rby of Laurens was the next
candidate for governor. He said he
was no "coat tail swinger", but was
standing on his own feet. He told OF
his opposition to the personal en-
rollment required Of voters under
the new primary rules. He said ne
was still a dispensary man and SAID
he believed the people ought to be
given good liquor. He told of his
opposition to the sale of the asylum
or operty in Columbia, and of his
fight against the immigration bureau
which was finally abolished.
Richard I. Manning of Sumter
closed the speaking for governor.
He came forward amid applause and
began his work by complimentlng
Florence county. In speaking Of his
deprecating of personal abuse and
personalities, Mr.. Manning said ne
believed the audience would agree
with him that some of the campaign
in the past had been a disgrace and
he called for a discussion OF issues
and not men. He said the people
were looking to the future and he
told of the educational, industrial,
AGRICULTURAL and other constructive
issues of the campaign. Mr.. Manning
was cheered when he said he would
enforce the law and not single out
any locality. He was applauded when
promised to curtail the use of the
pardoning power If elected.

PLACES BLAME.
Moore Says Blease Encroached OF
Authority of Adjutant General.


In his speech at Kingstree Cen
Moore said that the action of the wal
department was due to the fact that
the State militia had not given an ac-
counting Of government property in
it's possession, something he had been
working for, and because certain
companies which failed to pass re-
cent inspections had not been muster
ed out by the governor in accordance
with the recommendation Of the wal
department based upon the inspec-
ton report. Gen. Moore declared
that the State militia would have nc
more recognition from the war de-
partment until the conditions it in
sisted on were carried out.
"It will take the South Carolina
National Guard many years to over
come the disorganization brought
about by the interference Of the gov,
ernor with my Office and his abroga'
ton Of all authority to himself as
commander-in-chief," declared the
speaker.
Gen. Moore predicted that the wal
department would withhold all funds
and refuse requisitions for further
supplies until the South CaroliI.a
troops accounted for $4,000 worth
Of government property, much OF
which was issued before he went into
Office. Gen. Moore told Of his ef'
forts to have the demands Of the wal
department carried out and blamed
the governor for the present militia
tangle; because he would not carry
out the recommendations of the ad.
jutant general.

STORM HITS BALLOON
FOUR RACERS ABOVE EARTH EN-
COUNTER LIGHTNING,
Captain Of St. Louis Tells Of Exciting
Moment in Clouds and Mile
Above Huge Forests.

The four balloons which left Port
lans, Ore, week ago in race un-
rer the auspices of the Aero Club Of
America, encountered severe thun-
der storms when thousands of feet
above the earth and the pilots and
their aids figured in some remark
able experiences. The Kansas City III
landed safely rs miles from Port
land. She descended just before en-
countering clouds. The Uncle Sam
was struck three times BY lightning
and landed in peach orchard near
Oregon City just as hot stroke hit
peach tree and set it on fire. The
Springfield escaped the lightning but
was driven to earth By mixed cur
rents of air. The Million Population
Club balloon, of st. Louis, was the
lightning and it's pilot and his
aide were caught in the top
of pine tree nearly 100 feet from
the ground. Their silken bag was
split when $500 feet above the sur
face of the earth.
Capt. John Berry of st. Louis was
pilot Of the Million Population bal
loon. In telling of his experience
Berry says:
eve were up about $500 feet
when we were caught between two
thunderstorms. Lightning flashed
between the clouds at every angle.
We were shaken several times and
decided to descend when another
bolt seemed to tear the big bag apart.
The next instant the lower end OF
the balloon was sagging in the '0as-
ket.
'I grabbed my knife and told my
aide to get ready to jump when we
struck. The balloon came down like
a bird with wigs broken. I kept cut
ting and when finally we landed in a
tree had cut just enough to allow
US to get out. It was the worst ex-
perience I ever had"
Capt. H. E. Honeywell Of St. Louis,
pilot of the Uncle Sam, was on his
one hundred and ninety-ffth flight
and the experience he had in the
heavy electrical storm was his first.
He dropped to the 500-foot level and
tried to- go below the storm, but was
caught in cross vortex and drawn
under canopy Of clouds from which
lightning flashed toward the Uncle
Sam. Fire flew from all sides OF the
balloon car before she was landed
and then lightning followed her from
the sky and struck within 40 feet of
the point of landing.

business is given it's constitution OF
freedom and is bidden go forward.
And Just so soon as it gets that leave
and freedom there will be boom in
this country such as we never have
witnessed in the United States.
81, as a friend OF business and a
servant of the country, would not
dare stop in this program and bring
on another long period of agitation.
Agitation longer continued would be
fatal to the business Of this country
and if this program is delayed there
will come agitation with every letter
in the word a capital letter.
"The choice is a sober and sensi-
BILE program now completed, or
months of additional conjecture and
danger. I for one could not ask this
country to excuse policy which sub
iected business to continued agita-
ton and uncertainty and therefore I
am sure that it is beginning to be
evident that a constructive program
is not only to be proposed but COM
pleted, and that when it IS completed
business can get and will get what it
can get in no other way-rest, re-
cuperation and successful adjust
ment
'It is a matter of conscience as
we'll as a matter of large public pol
icy to do what this congress, am
now certain, is going to do-fnish
the program And I don't think it is
going to take a very long time. I
believe that the various elements
sometimes in antagonism in the con-
gress of the United States are draw
ing to gether and that we shall wit
ness an early statesmanlike result
for which we shall all have abundant
reason to be thankful"

so he will redeem his long-staRding
promise to Col. George W. Goethals
by not only visiting. but formally
opening the great Panama canal.
He will make his passage through
that waterway on the battleship Ore
gon, standing shoulder to shoulder
with Rear Admiral Charles Clark,
retired, who captained the ironclad
in her famous Spanish war cruise
circumnavigating South America.
The president, according to the
present program, will leave Washing
ton for Hampton Roads, accompan-
led by his Official family, on the
yacht Mayfiower, on March 5, 1918,
to meet the international fleet.
So far nine of the maritime coun-
tries have signifed their intention to
take part in the great naval parade
through the canal. and it is certain
there will be other participants an
nounced before the end of the year.
The countries that already have &C
cepted are the Argentine republic,
Cuba, France, Germany, Great Brit
ain, Italy, japan, Portugal and Rus

TELLS TRAGIC STORY
GIRL SAYS SHE WAS KIDNAPPED
FROM MOUNTAIN HOME.
Greenville Jail Holds Girl Who
Claims Man Stole Her In Tennessee
Was Carried From State to State.

w as Sarr1eu rrOlu otat0 W Ot@VO
Rosie May Wilson, the young white
girl who was arrested Wednesday By
Deputy Sheriff Howard of Greenville
along with Bob Hendsley on the
charge Of vagrancy, has made a full
statement regarding Bob's kidnap'
ping her. She has abandoned al
fear of falling into. the hands OF
Hendsley and seems willing to make
any statement necessary.
She says that her mother and her
self lived in a two-room shanty In
the mountains of Tennessee, and that
about three years ago Hendsley came
to her home and they got acquainted
Hendsley wanted her to leave with
him but she did not want to leave
her sick mother. One night while
she was asleep, Hendsley came to her
window and through it entered her
room, picked her up in his arms and
carried her into the woods before
she awoke.
When she awoke she was frighten-
ed and attempted to scream, but Bob
put his hand over her mouth and told
her if she made any fuss that he
would beat her to death. She lived
with him for about four weeks and
then met an old friend Of hers, who
loaned her enough money to get
home. She vent home and Bob fol-
lowed her On the next train. When
she arrived she found out that her
mother had died. When Bob caught
her that night he beat her until she
bore marks on her body, which she
carried for months.
They have lived in the mountains
and in the counry for two years,
never going into town for fear OF
arrest. A letter wa sfound Sunday
that had been written to the girl
since Bob's detainment in which 1t is
claimed he owns his guilt and asks
that she be as easy on him as pos
sible. He also tells her if they ques-
tionel her age to give it as 1S. He
also says in the letter that he knows
there is enough in the case to send
him to the death chair.

INVESTIGATE TRUCK SELLING.
Agricultural Department to Send Ex'
pert to Assist Carolinians.

Representative Byrnes Wednesday
secured from the chief of the bureau
of markets a promise to investigate
the present system of marketing can
taloupes, melons and truck grown in
South Carolina. The bureau will en-
deavor to send an agent to Blackvllle
in Barnwell county who will trace
the cantaloupes from the farm to the
retailer for the purpose of ascertain
ing the condition in which the can
taloupes arrive at the Northern mar
kets, the prices obtained by the
wholesaler and by the retailer, COM
pairing them with the price paid to
the producer. The bureau has prom
ised to give careful attention to this
subject with the hope Of devising
some plan by which the producer
can receive a greater proportion of
the price which is finally paid by the
consumer.
