PANAMA TOLLS QUESTION.

President Wilson is making per-
sonal appeal to Congress to reverse
its action, in granting free passage to
American ships through Panama
CANAL In this he'is opposed by'both
the majority and minority leaders of
the'House and also by the Progress
sive leader, which makes his task
a rather difficult one. The;ground OF
his appeal is that under our treaty
relations with England we cannot
consistently discriminate against
English ships, and if not against
English ships then not against any
foreign ships.
Doubtless the President is right
that we are under contract with Eng.
land, and if so we should live up tt
that contract. Possibly the only
question involved is the encourage
ment of American shipping inter
ests, and the further question arises
should not the United States govern
ment have a profit on its investmen
from American shipping interests a
we'll as from any other. United
States, ships will have an advantage
in distance that should enable then
to compete with the ships of othe
nations to advantage.

Management and Operatives.
One experiment with negro labor
tends to disprove the: claim of the
races shiftleness advanced by en-
ployers in the vicinity of Kinston,
NC. recently when they imported
foreigners to: take the place of native
blacks. A silk mill in Northeast
Kinston, which previously had had a
rather turbulent career is being pro-
ftabiy. conducted with negro mana
cement and operatives, and is said to
be a model mandatory. It. w.
a collerd preacher, is at
the head Of the enterprise, which is
locally owned, and the 'S9 men, WON
EN- and children employed are all ne
No lint, very little noise, and
light is noticeable in this
competently conducted plant, and
efficiency is attested by the output.
Thurston is a silk expert. The labor
is well-paid and the operatives say
working conditions are nearly ideal.

WAITING.

President Wilson's policy of watch
full waiting has received three pretty
heavy jolts in the summary execu-
ton of Benton and the holding for
ransom of Terrazas by constitutions
alist leader, Villa, and in the unques.
toned and unprovoked murder OF
Vergara, an American citizen, by
Huerta's forces. The fact is Ameri-
cansghave been murdered to the
number of something like an hum
dred land only the Benton affair
awakened this country to some sense
Of its obligation to its citizens in
troubled Mexico.
The United States and all interest
ed powers have RETAINED from mix
ing in the Mexican troubles while
the Mexicans have come. to think
themselves safe from foreign inter-
vention, and free to work their poll
cy of vengeance on citizen and alien
alike
Huerta, murderer though he be, is
showing up quite favorably in these
latter days, when his course is con-
trasted with that of the real head OF
the revolution forces. The act OF
holding a non-combatant for ransom
sounds more like the act of a pirate
or ordinary robber that Villa is, than
of any constituted authority. The
patience of the United States must be
near theNlimit, and the question OF
the right of one nation to interfere
in the affairs of another begins to
vanish into thin air when the con-
tending parties in the disturbed ma
ton are murderers. all and at least
one faction headed by irresponsible
bandits.

THE TROLLEY MEETING.

While the meeting in the city hall
last week in the interest of the troll
ley from Easley to Augusta was not
all that might be desired in the point
of raising funds, the enthusiasm with
which the project was received by
the large attendance warrants the
statement that Abbeville will do all
that may reasonably he expected OF
her to secure the trolley.
There was division of opinion as to
what would be the best plan of
launching the enterprise. Chairman
;Graydon thought that 500, 900 should
be subscribed along the route of the
proposed road, a charter applied for
and a survey made, and then the
work of raising further subscriptions
undertaken. Others, and amongst
them some of the largest prospective
subscribers, thought that a subscrip-
ton sufficiently large to justify the
belief that the road would be built,
should be raised before any money
should be spent in surveys or other
wise. The Press and Banner believes
this to be the best policy.
1t is estimated that the road, built
and equipped, will cost about a mil
lion and half dollars. Then 1t
should not be undertaken on less
than six hundred thousand dollars
subscribed. The Press and Banner
is going to take the liberty of levy
ing an assessment which can be cas-
lily met and which would doubtless
Insure the building of the road. Its
assessment is, for Easley $5O,OOO, for
Anderson 5000, 900, for Abbeville
500, 600, for Mccormick $4,000, for
Edgefeld $4,000, and for Augusta
$500, OO0.~ This would raise $750,OOO,
which supplemented by a reasonable
bond issue would build the road.
What say the other points to the
|amount assessed? We guarantee
Abbeville's assessment.
Representatives from Anderson,
Easley, Antreville and BELLEVUE were
in the meeting the other day and
they were both enthusiastic and con-
Ifdent. If the points named will
agree. to this schedule of assessment
|AbbevilIe will report her quota
raised at a very early date.
If the assessment on Anderson
seems to be a little large, it will be
recalled that Anderson has three
times the population, and three times
the property that Abbeville has, and
the county is more than twice the
size; -, Both towns stand in dire need
of the'road.
Not a doubt is entertained that
Anderson will not do her duty. She
is one of the. best as we'll as one of
the Invest cities IN. the State, and she
has always sustained the friendliest
relations with Abbeville.
