CONSUL GENERAL
GUDGER SPEAKS HERE.

Former Chief Justice and Consul
General II. A. Gudger OF AsheYille, n.
C.. was the guest of Congressman j..
w Langley and Mrs. Langley at Pike
Vile last week on Friday evening the
distinguished visitor delivered lee
ure to a large gathering at the court
house, on the development OF Panama
and its diplomatic history. His review
went back to the bloody work of Nor
gan, the fruboater. and embraced the
history of the Isthmus down TO the
present day.
While the address gave an interest
ing side light on the manners and GUS
toms of Panama, and fairly sparlfed
with good -natured wit, 1t was chiefly
confined to recent events in the history
of the Isthmus, and he zaayed without
sparing the overlooking policies OF the
Colombian government toward Pana-
ma, and said the Colombia was dl-
rectly responsible for the revolt against
her in 1908 which resulted in Pana-
manian independence. He said the CO.
lombian government had collected
enormous sums in taxes from the can.
al Co. and Panama Railway Co, 'poth
owned by French interests, ana also
collected large sums in taxes from the
people; but instead Of applying 1t to
sadly needed roads, schools, etc. II all
went to Bogota, the Colombian Capt.
tai And this, with the refusal of the
Bogota government to ratify the hay
Herran treaty, were the sole causes OF
the independence movtment He SAID
Colombia then asked the Y. s. to pay
an indemnity of $25,OOo,o00 and year
ly sum Of s25O,0 for their loss result
ing from the revolution, since 1t was
claimed the U. S. responsible for the
revolt He denied the responsibility OF
this government and said the payment
of any sum would be unjust and a dis
honor to America.

Is regarded as a miracle that Mccoy
was the only one who drank from the
bottle, otherwise there would have
been more deaths.
II is said domestic troubles had ex-
listed between Mccoy and his wife for
a long while. and that he once beat
her into insensibillty and left her for
dead. II is known that she lived In
dread OF him. but whether this furn-
ishes a motive for the crime, and
whether she prepared the poisonous
draught for him, as is claimed, is a

The stomach was taken from the

THAT LoUISA-P -PlkEvlGLE
GAME AGAIN.

The Crocodiles of Pikeville extend
their hearty good wishes to their broth
er sportsmen of Louisa; and also wish
to say in defense of our article some
time ago on the championship game
PLAYED here, that what We said. there
was in self defense, and we did not be-
heve the Louisa boys We're responsible
for the biased reports of the game that
appeared in print in the Ashland pa
per. ..'.."
. Louisa now says the correspondent
of this department must have been
misinformed on the result of the game
and invites Pikeville co show its col
ors." The correspondent for this de-
partment was on the ground and saw
each score made by Pikeville; and we
note with qualification that the man
ager of the Louisa team does not de-
ny the score as we printed it, although
he was absent. Our work is our colors
and we think without boasting, that
our colors were sufficiently shown at
the Ball Park.
AS for return game on the Louisa
diamonds, we appreciate the invita-
ton, but fear we cannot accept game
anywhere, as so many of our players
are now absent from the city. Some
have taken up university work in 9TH
er cities, and will not return here be-
fore Christmas. This probably means
the Pikeville team is dissolved for the
season.
