TIMES HAVE CHANGED

The Greenwood Journal in its news
columns says that the "postofflce at
Phoenix will be discontinued unless
someone suitable for the position ac-
cepts the appointment by Congress
man Aiken"
The Greenwood paper then pub
fishes correspondence between the
post office department and Congress-
man Aiken in which Mr. Aiken
sends out the IS. o. s." call of the
wireless. If some patriot doean I
offer his services the Office will go.
Phoenix is a place somewhat fa-
nous in state history as the scene OF
the last defiant stand of the Republi-
cans in this state.
In 1898 there was a bloody riot at
Phoenix, and as a result, prominent
white farmer was killed and scores
OF negroes were shot down. The
bloody affair occurred on general ell
ection day and was caused by the
negroes crowding up to the polls and
giving trouble to the white men.
The leader of the Republicans was
Col. Jno. r. Tolbert, who fought
gamely, but was taken to Columbia for
safe keeping. He was seriously
wounded. For aFaay or two mad
dened citizens rode over Greenwood
county terrifying negroes in the ef-
fort to ayenge theSdeath of MIR. Ethe-
ridge. AS result, the next year me-
gro labor was scarce in that section
Of the county and all interests suf-
fered.
1t is now marvel of desuetude that
so quiet are political conditions al
Phoenix that even the post Office goes
begging.

history OF PRESENT
RUCTION WITH HUERTA

Following is a chronology Of the
United States night for the flag against
the %quibbling Huerta:
April 9-Assistant paymaster and
squad of ~bluejackets Of the dispatch
boat Dolphin are arrested at wharf In
Tampico while loading gasoline into

Mayo, senior naval officer there, de-
mands apology and firing Of national
salute to American flag to make COM
plete amends for the warlike act.
April 10-General Zaragosa, Mexican
commander at Tanpico, makes apol-
ogy. but SKIS for permission to com
municate with President Huerta as to
firing of salute; mail orderly from
American battleship Is arrested In
Tampico, but later released.
April 11-President Wilson instructs

partment to O'Shaughnessy is held up

SENATE AGREES TO
SUMMON COCKTAILS

Washington, April 1S.-Col. George
w. Goethals has been summoned be-
fore the Senate canal committee to
testify on the economic features OF the
Panama tolls exemption for coastwise
vessels. He is expected to favor re-
peal.
The colonel was asked to come at the
request Of Senator Simmons. but may
not reach here before April "a. the day
set for the closing Of the hearings.
In that event Senator Simmons will
not ask for an extension Of the hear
ings, but either request hat Colcael
Cocktails testimony be incorporated In
the record or presented on the floor Of
the Senate.
Sentiment was said to be crystalliz-
ing in the committee today for an am
endment to the Shines repeal bill stipu-
lating that the United States will give
up no rights Of sovereignty over the
canal by the repeal of the exemption.
Supporters OF that idea hope to win
the president to that view.
Almost Unanimous.
At the hearing today Welding RinE
Of the executive board Of the New York
chamber of commerce favored repeal
on h ground that the exemption
clause was a subsidy and violated
treaty obligation, and said that his or
~ganiEation had voted for repeal by 333
to 7.
Senator Bristow, opposing repeal.
asked Mr.. Ring, why If tolls are
charged through the Panama canal
they should not be charged for entering
New York n other harbors and rivers
on which large sums OF money have
been spent.
Senate Simmons contended there
vas no discrimination between Amer
lean and foreign ships coming to Amer
lean ports and rivers.
Senator O'Gorman brought out the
fact that the Merchants association, a
New York organization larger than the
chamber OF commerce, had opposed
repeal.
senator simmons read a telegram
from Richard Olney, secretary NJ atata
r President C'eveland's cabinet, prais-
ing President Wilson for his attitude
Tor repeal.
Howard s. Smith of the New York
chamber Of commerce, also appeared in
support Of repeal.

ENGLAND FORESEES
LONG STRUGGLE TO
PLACATE MENCANS
European Powers Hail With Delight
Likelihood That United States
Will Undertake to Re-
store Peace.

London, April 20.-Mexico over
Swallowed all other affairs in public
interest here today. Throughout the
politics, although Of great Importance,
had to give way to what had been con-
sidered here for a long time, the in
evitable Intervention by the United
States to restore order in Mexico.
The Westminster Gazette, leading
government organ in expressing the
view that nothing can now avert war.
"or If not war, what late william b.
Gladstone would nave called military
operations" says: }
"One cannot pretend to be surprised
that this should be the end Of the re-
fusal of the United States to recognize
General Huerta. There are a good
many other nations, which in other cir
cumstances might have tackled the
hornets nest, but this case is one In
which the Monroe doctrine saddled the
United States with heavy obligations
from which there is no escape"
The Pail Mall Gazette, an opposition
newspaper says:
Our sympathy with the Americans
does not blind us to the perils of the
course to which they seem about tc.
commit themselves"
The Globe says:
"On the United States will b. laid the
extremely difficult duty Of protecting
both its own citizens and foreigners,
exposed to Mexican ~barbarity. In all
probability an eventual reorganization
of h whole country OF Mexico will
be necessary. Undoubtedly General
Huerta's action is a counsel of despera-
ton. adopted in the hope that all fac
ions in Mexico will unite with him to
repel the gringo attack. Many OBJ
are Of the opinion that this
may prove correct. In that case the
United States has before it a gigantic
task"
The Evening Standard thinks that
General Huerta is mistaken If he ex-
poets to produce a wave Of popularity
for himself. 1t says:
General villa is unlikely to let dust
be thrown into his eyes by such a
maneuver. He is winning and knows
1t and has no intention Of relinquishing
the prize when it is almost within his
grasp.
Intervention should be hailed with
satisfaction by Europeans. Great Brit
ain has $500, 000, 900 invested in Mexico
n cannot afford to lose hat sum
The outcome will be that Mexico will
be policed by a strong national army
under American supervision.

INQUEST IN PROGRESS
ON MURDER AT GEDDES
Witnesses Testify That Office

These witnesses hurried from the Of

fects from a residence nearby. They
made no attempt to break their way
into the office until the spread Of the
