REPORT COMING
ON PEACE TREATY
Washington, Aug. 22.?In a determined
effort to report the peace trea
ty before the end of next week, the
seaat foreign relations committee
I suddenly interrupted its public hearings
today and arranged to go to
work tomorrow on proposed amendments
and reservations.
Although one witness will be heard j
Monday .members think that might
be tke last hearing before the treaty|
was reported. It was indicated that(
the waiting list of others who are to'
.'.ppear later would not be permitted
to stand in the way of an early re-J
port.
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the.
Democratic leader, declared his be- J
lief that the report would be laid,
before the senate during the coming
;.&ek and asserted that he had been
assured the Republicans would coop-J
erate to that end. Some Republican !
members agreed with his prediction,'
but Chairman Lodge declined to say;
!
itrVian ha thought the committee:
iv.ould act.
Late today plans to expedite the
consideration of amendments were,
discussed at a conference of Repub-j
Mean members of the committee and.
they will go over the subject again |
tomorrow morning before the com-j
mittee session begins. It is likely.
:hat among the first amendments,
roted on will be one proposing to
crike out or modify the articles givng
Japan control in Shantung prov.-,
ice, China.
The story of the negotiations re-,
ulting in the Shantung provision
/as told to the committee today by J
'rof. E. T. Williams, who was tech-j
ical adviser to the American peace ]
election. He said he had "strong- j
. i
(j objected" to the settlement reacn-j
d, and thought the American dele-{
ates should not have assented to it.j
Debate During Day.
During the day there was more
ebate on the treaty in the senate,
enator Thomas, Democrat, of Coloido,
criticising the provision for an J
Itern&tional labor organization and'
>nator Fall, Republcan, of New
exico, taking exception to informa-j
>n given the committee by Presi-j
nt Wilson regarding the resumpm
of trade with Germany.
Although (he refrained from saying
tether he would vote for the treaty
nator Thomas expressed . grave
ubt as to the wisdom of the labor
orisions and said there were artits
in the lalbor section which seemto
violate the American constitu>n,
by delegating legislative and
iicial functions to international
dies.
Senator Fall, referring to a statemt
by the president that so far as
I knew the United States was not
ding with Germany, declared there
p been a suspension of the trading
bh the enemy act which could be
ective only by presidential authorand
that merchant vessels were
ling direct between American and
rman ports. The export trade to
rmany in June, he said, amounted
p,000,000.
No explanation was made of the
lision to begin work on amendInts
at once in the committee but
Is known to have been reached af|
Democratic members (had renewed
ir requests for early action and
r some of the Republican senanot
on the committee had exsed
strong disapproval of delayFarm

A GAME PRESERVE AT
DE LA HOWE SCHOOL
!
The suggestion made by Rev. H. B,
Blakely, former superintendent of
the De La Howe Institute at Lethe,'
McCormick county, that the money!
derived from hunters' licenses be
devoted to establishing a game pre-'
serve on the large estate is approved
by State Game Warden Gibbes in
recommendations to Governor Cooper.
Plans are under way to improve
this already valuable property under
the new management with Rev. Mr.
Branch as superintendent. Indication
01 trie vaiue ui laiiu in tuat actnun
is shown in the auction sale last Monday
of a tract facing the main road
to Lethe at $97.50 the acre. The old
Tennant plantation at the rear of
Lethe sold on the same day for an
average of $38 the acre.
The Columbia correspondent of
The Greenville Piedmont sends the
following on the state game warden's
recommendations: I
Wade Hampton Gibbes, state game
warden, has suggested to Governor
Cooper that the fees received from
hunters' licenses, which now amount
to many thousands of dollars njore
than the expenses of enforcing the
game laws, be devoted to the upbuilding
of the De La Howe school, in
McCormick county. This school,
which is now operated and controlled
by the state, has 1,000 acres of very
fine land, much of it in original forest.
Mr. Gibbes' plan would be to
give the money derived from the
hunters' licenses to this school for
the purpose of improving the property
and providing for a larger number
of scholarships each year, and to
establish on the place a great game
sanctuary, where all kinds of game
and birds still extant in the state be
safe from molestation. He thinks
such a game sanctuary would pro-1,
vide a safe and desirable breeding!
ground and would result in prevent-;
ing many varieties of birds from becoming
extinct. He would forbid all:
hunting on the place, except that'
the pupils in the school might hunt'
rabbits and squirrels in season. Governor
Cooper is inclined to think
well of the suggestion, and may incorporate
it in his next message to
| the legislature.
The plantation upon which the
school is located was bequeathed to
the public for a school for poor chil-j
dren more than 100 years ago by Dr.
John De La Howe, a native of
France, who settled in Abbeville
county along with many other Huguenot
refugees. The school was operated
for many years by a self-perpetuating
board of trustees, and,'
while it has prospered at times, has,

TWO BAD ONES ARE
CAPTURED BY SHERIFF
OF LEXINGTON COUNTY H
~z
Sheriff Miller, of Lexington Coun-^ J
ty, made a bigger haul than he at
first imagined when last week he ar- =|
rested Paul Randall and Johnnie ?j
Bone, two young white boys charged H
with breaking into the store of Hook gj]
Bros., on the Columbia road, near g
Lexington. Though but youths of ?|j
18 or 19 these young men are wanted ji
in several States for crimes of vary-' jl
ing degree from murder to larceny. i|
Among the charges against th?m are y
those of safecracking ai-.d postoffice H
l-obbery in North Carolina. Sheriff gj
Royster of Henderson, N. C., accom- ?g
panied by Mr. J. W. Beckham of that g[
town, were in Lexington Monday and j|
iJenti^cJ the Tord car taken from gg
fVio Knife: nc nrnnprt- nf Mi*. Beck- s=s
ham. The car was taken to North jH
Carolina, but the men were held here Wi
awaiting advices from eGorgia. The IS
sheriff at Millen has wired that they H
are wanted there for highway rob- |j|
bery and murder. It is probable ?E
that they will first be tried there, aa jgj
this is the most serious charge a-1
gainst them. Bone claimed at the ?1
time of his arrest that his home was'|ffi
in Virginia, but later developments m
indicate that he hails from Great j|i
Falls, S. C.- He was visited Satur-j??
day by his wife and mother, who are f??
employed in a cotton mill at Cam-?|j
en. Randall claims to be from Geor- H
gia.
A bold attempt at escape was made jj
by the boys last Monday, which ?j
might have succeeded but for the H
vigilance of Mrs. Miller. The boys J

men had left around and were man- S
fully at work sawing their wap to j9
freedom when Mrs. Miller discover- H
ed them and summoned the sheriff. jP
They were immediately removed to a Si
safer place of confinement. ^
COTTON FARMERS ARE
URGED TO HOLD STAPLE
I
i
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 20.?"We ear-j
nestly urge that the cotton farmers
and the holders of cotton be not
stampeded by propaganda now being
issued by speculators and parties:
who desire to buy cheap cotton, bat'
that they stand steady and refuse to'
sell their staple at present prices,"
the executive committee of the Am-!
erican Cotton Association says in a'
statement just issued here from
headquarters.
The committee further says: "'The
association deplores the organized
effort now being made to depress
and send the price of cotton to the
bottom. In spite of the fact that
! - - J J
cotton goods nave greatiy aavanceu,
cotton prices have gone down $20 i
to $25 per bale. Today the staple,;
measured by the price of manufactured
cotton goods, is intrinsically
I worth more than 35 cents per pound
' and even at that price it is the cheap-j
I est commodity being sold in the'
' world's market.
I "As soon as the American Cotton
I Association is fully organized with
its 1,000,000 members it will imme-'
I diatelv becin an organized fight in |
j oeha'.f of cotton." .
