EDWARDS,. ..Editob "anas' at fe Ptwtcffie m second slsss siaOer A DISGRACE TO THE STATE COMMUNITY. AND In ft recent Issue f the News-Obser- Dr. H. P. Harper, Sr., of this place, sailed attention to what be characterised at a, "damnable abame," mad rightfully characterised too. The immediate eauie of hit complaint was the fact that a demented woman who will at timet make herself perfectly nude by tearing off ber clothes, Iscon flned in our county jail with the com mon transgressors of the law. Not only this but a crowd of young men and boys who hare nothing bet tor to do freouentlr conjrrejrate about the ia)l and gloat over the indecent exposition of this poor demented fe- male, consigned to her present state f convenient bv the Indifference of people living In a community thus high up in the scale of civilization. Only a few days ago the country from one end to the other was set ablaze by a story of the whipping by the prison authorities of a female prisoner in the Georgia State prison. But right here in our midst is a much more shocking affair than the mere whipping.of any female convict. In the natue of common sense, where has southern chivalry gone when we can treat an unfortunate woman like this? It matters not that she is bereft of her reason. As long as she bears the stain d of womanhood she is en titled to be treated as a woman. The effect of her exposure is damn able all around. It is brutalizing to her. if she has lucid Intervals. It Is demoralizing to the common pris onera confined in jail. It is fraught with the lowest and most vicious con- stkoxg on finance; THE MONEY QUESTION 13 SENATOR ALDRICH'S 10 NO SUIT.

Something must be done to remedy this state of affairs. If the State has not room enough for such unfortunates within Its homes and asylums and if the woman's relatives if she has any are unable to provide decent care for her, the county should see to it that the is confined elsewhere than in her present quarters. , It Is high time the proper authorities were taking decided action in this matter. Common decency demands that they should do so. . THE CANAL TREATY. We learned yesterday that the Co lombian senate on August 12th unani mously rejected the Panama canal treaty as presented by the1 United States senate. The great objection seems to have been that the term 9 of the instrument as offered seemed to, in effect, bind Colombia to relinquish title over a wide strip of territory through which the proposed canal was to run. Then it is alleged that the Colombians did not relish the fact that the French company turned over their interests to the United States without a previous reckoning with the little Latin republic. Nevertheless the action of the Col om- Irian senate may not after all be detri mental to our best interests, Especi lly may the south and southern in arests be promoted by the abandon ment of the Panama route and the adoption of the Nicaragua and Costa Rica route. The isthmian canal cVprovides that the president shall make the necessary treaties and force to construction along this latter route . provided he Is not able to secure the neeetsary concessions from Colombia. ; At to this point the Charlotte News aya: ...... This new it not unexpected. Senator Morgan has been prophesying it for some time. We earnestly trust that . iealdent Roosevelt will take the alter native that has been placed In bis bands and conclude matters for the digging of the Nicaragua canal. The elfish, forces that had the Panama pro ject substituted for the Nlcaraguan at the last moment have evidently car ried their opposition to any canal to the point of bribery and corruption in the Colombian- senate. Certainly very southern newspaper should, aid in forming the public opinion that will now compel the choice of the Nlcara guan route, it will mean Infinitely .snore to the south than the Panama ditch and it is time a little national legislation were coming the south' Wa believe that this Nicaragua route is really the choke of the American people, it is mucn nearer to. our coasts, it has a number of advantages and la not, at the same time, open to the possibility of legal and inter national entanglements arising from the purchase of ' the defunct French ompany in the old Panama route. . For some reason Senator Hanna worked in season and out of season to ecure the adoption by our congress -of the Panama route. But now that the Colombian senate has turned us down, the people of this country will expect the president to proceed imme diattly to secure and develop the Xicaraua route. 1 Senator Nelson W.
