Not so many years ago the people of tho United States were aroused tu righteous indignation by reports of starvation among Cubans who were ground beneath the Iron heel nf Span ish domination. What took place when forces of the United States interced ed In behalf of the downtrodden pee pie is too'well known to need review ing at this time. Famines In Japan and China have been followed by streams of-gold pouring into the des titute provlnaoe from thin country. Tho assistance tb&t was t ndered by this country to . thc. ?.uff- rs In the Martinique disaster and the victims of tho terrible convulsion of nature in Messina was generous. Bringing the matter closer home and nearer tho present time something over $260 was raised here this month for thu Belgian Christmas Fund. All of which ls well and good and most commendable. But we have herc at our doors families who are In a? dire straights os some of those In Bel gium. Cannot we do as much for them as we did for the Belgians Christmas Fund? So far there has been turned into this office the sum of $7.60 for the "Belgians In Ander son." That ls considerably leas than the S260 dollars sent to the victims o. the European war. But wo have confidence in the good people of An durcon, for we have never known thom to fall to "como ?croas" when called upon. So let us do something tor the "Bolplann in Anderson" and do it NOW. TUE FAIR FLAY RIOT f \ In the absenco of reliable informa- ] tion regarding the trouble at Fair i Play on last Sunday afternoon, we hesitate to comment to any extent on : the unfortunate affair. But one thing t we do know, and that is that Fair Play, the county of Oconee and South Carolina aro coming in for a lot of bad advertising as a result of what j appears to be highly exaggerated re porta being sent over the country about tba affair and printed in the Sally newspapers, Some citizen of Pair Play ought to come to the front sad .make a true statement, of the troubla, for tho good of the commun ity. , . , I , .

A fifth ne gro waa reported killed in the fighting today. Ot the white men who were shot Sunday, lt ls stat ed that Magistrate W. C.

JJ It is the effort ot these statesmen p o have Congress . prevent the ship- tl ting of arma and other war material o any of the nations now engaged n strife by American manufacturera ? ind prcducers. It ls notable that np " injection to the export ot such mater? c als baa been axpressed except by J hose who favor Germany in the pres- t) nt struggle. This fact renders parti- tl ru lar ly pertinent just now a few een enees from Prof. Lawrences text- r' took oa International law. For In- J tance, he says: "Whenever a trade la contraband 4 war reaches large dimensions, the ?tate whose adversary ls supplied by j t< neena of lt ia apt to complain.

And further: "Amid all the instance of interna tional recrimination, one fact stands out clear and Indubitable. No power ful neutral slate has ever Interfered lo stop a trade in arms and ammuni tion carried on by Its subjects with agents of a belligerent government. . . . . . lt is impossible, there fore, to avoid the conclusion that the only restraint on such trade knuwn to international law is the liability 01 contraband ?o capture even under a neutral flag. ' It is plan, therefore, that for thc United States to undertake to pre vent the traffic in arms upon the pro test of Germany's friends would not be a neutral proceeding, but would be a move for tho benefit of one of the belligerents, and therefore against that one's enemies, and a move in di rect violation of the principles of In- | ternational law. It would be an un neutral act performed under the pre tense of neutrality. SHOWS BALLANCE IN FAVOR OF U. S.

AN AMENDMENT (CONTINUED FllOM PAGE ONE.) several perfecting amendments.- Thc firHt altered the phraseology of the first section of the proposed amend ment, and included a clause against importation of intoxicating liquors. It was adopted without a division. Another amendment presented by Representative Mann would nave been an absoluto prohibition of the "manufacture, transportation. Impor tation and sale of intoxicating li quors" for any purpose. "If wo aro to have prohibition," he said, "let us have prohibition that will prohibit." An effort to secure a record vote on the second Mann amendment was de feated. Representative Morris.>n then of fered ills substitute for the ffrst sec tion of the Hobson amendment. It prohibited interstate commerce in in toxicating liquors. A point of order against this amendment made by Rep resentativo Harrison, of Mississippi, waB overruled. On a rising voto it was defeated, 41 to 213. An effort to obtain a record vote failed. Immediately after announcement of the votes the house nd Jo urn cd, the crowd that had packed the galleries throughout the prolonged debate dis persing with mingled expressions ot regret and jubilation. Prohibition leaders declared the vote of 11)7 for the resolution had come up to their expectations, as they I had not expected a two-thirds major I ity. Whether a similar resolution sub I mltted by Senator Sheppard, of Texas, would reach a vote In the senate at thu season was not certain tonight. Administration leaders wero inclined to believe lt would not,' because It could not pass the bouse. Notwithstanding repeated public as sertions that many members of the house would try Co dodge a record vote, the roll call disclosed a heavy at tendance, larger than the average throughout tho session. To have car ried the house the Hobson resolution would have required 258 affirmative votes. It thus failed to carry by 61 votes.
