DISCUSS PEACE TREATIES.
WILSON AND OTHERS TALK OF
SOUTHERN REPUBLICS.
Expression of Regret May BE Elimi-
mated From Pending Agreement
With Colombia.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Treaties with
Colombia and Nicaragua, awaiting
ratification by the senate, were dis
cussed today by President Wilson
with Secretary Bryan, Thaddeus A.
Thompson, minister to Colombia, and
Arthur r. Thompson and Otto Schoen-
rich, members of the Nicaraguan mix
ed commission.
After the conference it was said
that an effort might be made t.
amend the Colombian treaty to meet
objections in the senate, possibly by
the elimination Of the expression Of
regret on the part of the Unit ed
States that anything should have
happened to mar friendly relations be-
tween the two countries.
In his letter to Secretary Bryan,
accompanying the Nicaraguan COM
missions report, President Schoenrich
said:
"The financial and economic state
OF the country has become indescrib-
ably bad and the turbulent element
has provoked one civil war and is
constantly plotting for another. For
the prestige of the United States gov
ernment, for the assistance of the
suffering Nicaraguan people, 1 earn
estly recommend that every effort be
made to secure immediate ratifica-
ton by the United States senate of
the pending Nicaraguan canal treaty"
With the presentation Of it's report,
the commission automatically ceased
to exist.

TO CREATE CHARITIES BOARD.
Bill Passed with Amendment PrOvid-
Ing for Inquiry into Ability of
Asylum Patients to Pay.

Columbia, Feb. ia spirited fight
on Senator Christensen's bill to Gre
ate State board Of charities and cor
rections ended with the final passage
of the measure, which was sent to the
house with several minor amend
ments. The bin was the subject of
extended debate at the afternoon ses-
sion, at which time Senator Laney
raised a spectacular fire of objections
to the bilL which was ably defended
by Senator Christensen. .... - e.
The essential change from the orig
inal bill was the adoption. of an
amendment giving the board the au-
thority to ascertain the financial
standing OF the inmates of the State
Hospital for the Insane, so that those
able to pay their expenses should not
be treated free. Another amendment
reduces the salary of the secretary to
$4,000 and travelling expenses.

ought to take no steps that lead to

defense of President Wilson.
Let us take it for granted that this
bill originated at the White House."

There is no man of higher ideals or
more profound learning, of higher
craftsmanship than the man in the
White House today. 1t is contemplate
for you Republicans to try to slur
him.
III the Republican leader is right
in his statement that he believes the
president is sincere in his desire for
neutrality, what becomes of all these
predictions that this bill will lead to
war. Certainly the president will see
to 1T that no ships are purchased
which might involve the country in

Cheering came from the Democratic
side as Mr.. Alexander concluded and
called for vote. The Republicans
indicated their intention of demand
ing roll calls on all amendments, and
the first was taken on a change in
phraseology ., ....

ing indefinitely, the Democratic lead
ers at midnight brought in a second
special rule to limit the number of
yea and nay votes to five.

the floor and offer his new rule Re-
publican Leader Mann forced a. vote
on the first section of the Gore bill,
after securing a ruling that each sec.
ton must be voted on separately, and
another roll call was begun.
When Minority Leader Mann saw
that the Democratic leaders were de-
termined to stop the filibuster several
were held and the Repub-
licans decided not to keep up the
fight. A few minutes after o'clock
a vote on the final passage Of the bill
began.

Mr.. r. T. Moore. Of Decatur, a SUI
burban residential section Of Atlanta,
Ca, who is the travelling representa-
tive of the Arco Company, of Cleve-
land, Ohio, was a visitor to the curb
market last Saturday. Mr.. Moore au-
thorized the statement that he had
been attracted to the market by the
numbers of farmers and the many la
dies and gentlemen buying from the
farmers. He said that Sumter's curb
market was a gratifying spectacle to
him and one Of the pleasantest indi-
cations of prosperity on the farms
that he has seen in any of the places
visited by him throughout Southern
States. He could not imagine hard
times in any country that could fur
nish the spectacle Of many wagon
loads of beef, pork, truck, and other
produce being sold by the farmers to
SO many prosperous looking men and
women at such reasonable prices.
He further stated that it is his in
tention upon returning to his home to
undertake to have atlanta adopt the
curb market plan like Sumter. He OBJ
tanned a great deal of information
about Sumters curb market for use in
MS home town, and in Atlanta.
