HUNT, CORPORATION TAX PLAN ADOPTED .Amendment Passed by Sena.te, 60 to 11.-Vote on the Troublesome Question Reached Unex pectedly. Washington,'July 2.-The corpora tion tax amendment, which was sug gested by President Taft, is an inte gral part of the tariff bill as that bill no.v stands. After much tribulation, the senate reached a vote shortly before adjourn ing at ~ o'(lock p. in. today, and the a e:ndmnent wa~s agreed to. 60 to 11. Many democrats voted with most of; theO repulicans for the amendment. Only three demoel?ats voted- against the provision on tihe final vote, but some refrained from voting at all.* The test vote was on the substitu tion of the corporation tax amend ment for the income tax provision, and on that vote forty-five senators ~cast their ballots in the affirmative and thirty-one in the negative. On :this ballot all the democratic votes were cast in favor of the income tax, which also received the support of a .number of the insurgent republicans. .Tihe senate tomorrow will enters up on the administrative features of the tariff bill, probably taking up the maximum and minlimum rate provis ion. There was a steady fire of ora tory fro>m the beginning of the session at 10 o 'clock until- 4.30 o'clock this afternoon. When the fire had ceased Mr. Aldrich took th~e floor and made a request for unanimous agreement for a vote on the corpo.ration tax amendment tomorrow at 1 o'clock. Previous to presenting this request there had been much conferring be tween Mr. Aldricih and Messrs. Bail ey, Cummins, Borah and other oppo nents of the amendment, and it was generally supposed that they had reached an understanding that the vote should be taken tomorrow as sug est ed by Mr. Aldrich. When it seem ed that such a compact was probable, Senator Cummins entered formal ob jection to the unanimous agreement which not only had the effect of pre venting the fixing of the vote tomor row, but of forcing it today. The first vote was upon the motion to sub stitute the corporation amendment for the Lodge countervailing dutvy amendment, and this prevailed, 45 to 31. The affirma-tive vote was cast en irely by Republicans, even Senator McEnery, of Louisiana, who 'has voted with the majority side for all protec ive measures, throwing his ballot with hbis own party. Immediately following Mr. Lodge withdrew his amendment, and a vote. was taken on a motion to substitute the corporation tax amendment for the income tax amendment offered jointly by Messrs. Bailey and Cum mis. The resu:lt was an exact counterpart of the vote on the previous roll call. N'ext came the vote upon the cor -porationi tax prorision upon its own merits, but before this ballot could be reached Mr. Bacon sought to ob tain actien upon two amendments to* that provision presented by himself, both of whicih Mr Aldrich m#ved to lay upon the table with successful re sult. The first provid d for an .exemption of educational, charitable and relig ious in-titutionls. against which Mr. Aldrih made his first point of order.

Aldrich chanced to drop the remark that he would "allow'' Mr. Bacon to proceed. The form of the expression seemed to incense the Georgia senator, and he retorted sharply to the effect that he was "not surprised that Mr. Aldrich should as sume such a manner. because ihe had been dictating to the senate so long that he was accustomed to use lan *na'e of that kind.'

Thie.n. without any preliminaries. the final vote was taken: It was upon agreeing to the corporation tax mendment as a part of tib:e tariff bill. This amendment was adopted, 0 to 11. Of the negative votes eight were ast by republicans and three by dem crats, th-e republicans being Borah, Bristom, Bulkeley, Clapp, Cummins, Dolliver,' Heyward and LaFollette, and the democrats, Chamberlain, Hughes and Shiveley. Ampng- those in the affirmative were.: Bail :ey, Bankhead, Culberson, Daniel, Davis, Fletcher, Foster, Gore, Johnston, Mc Enery. McLaurin, Martin, Money, Newland, Rayner, Taliaferxo and Tay lor democrats. Tillman a.ud Smith Both Away.

PESERVING FENCE POSTS FROM DECA1 Every farmer is familiar with th~ rotting of his fence posts at the su: face of the ground. The labor of re placing them and how to secure nel and durable posts are soarees of cor stant annoyance and expense. Eve the more durable woods, such a chestnut, white oak and cedar, de cay in eight or ten years. It is tru that there are a few kinds of woo in the United States, such as locus and osage-orange, which give mae longer service, but their supply, neve very large, is rapidly becoming es hausted, and the farmer must no' look to some other source for hbi posts. Perhaps directly on ~his fart there may be a patch of woods whic inludes such triees as black oal beech, maple or pine, and cottonwood and willows may grow along th banks of his streams. These are tree which heretofore have been thougib of little oi- no use for posts, becaus of the rapidity with which t:hey ar attacked by decay. In their natura condition, they will rot in two o three years-too soon to pay for th BANK ILITIES - - $ 50,C00 00 ts- 64,965.30 - - 20,000.00 - - 823.00 - - 328,762.92 $464,551.22 AROLINA. Irtment. L. W. FLOYD, GEO. S. MOWER, JNO. M. KINARD. n Service in its study of prolonging tke life of fence posts 'has found cheap -e and simple methods of preserving n them in a sound condition for an in d definite time, even though they arE .ethe poorest and naturally least dur able woods. Decay is not a simple process likE [s the cumbling of stone or the rusting of iron. It is caused by low forms ol h plant life which thoroughly permeat( d the wood. tliscolor it and cause it tc d become disconnected and "rotten.' y To plreserve the timber in a thorough lV sound condition, it is only neces SarV to :ender the wood unfit for tbE growth of these organisms. This i done by injecting into it substance: One of the~ most widely used pre servatives is ereosote, one of the by 3- products of coal tar. When it is in Sjeeted into the wood, decay will be ui retarded indefinitely and an old-field f pine or a cottonwood fence post wher e properly treated will easily give a lifE - of twenty yea.rs or longer. Such 2 - preservative treatment costs aboui y ten cents per post. The creosote ear n be applied by painting the wood witi a brush or dipping it into the liquid -but much better results will be ob -tained if it is actually injected int< s -the wood instead of merely coatina tihie outside. If the "brush'' method or' painting, is used, the creosotE should be applied at a temperatu.re oi about 180 degrees F. Two coat: yshould be given at least twenty-foum hours apart. If the posts are dipped direetly into the preservative, athe s creosote should be heated to aboul -'the same temperature. The best re -sults of all can be obtained by firsi theating the posts in a batih of ho2 t 4reosote and then either transf.erring t'hem quickly to a bath of creosote - at a lower temperature, or else shut e tingr off the heat and allowing- the t- posts to remain in the oil as it cools, -By such a method, the sapwood will )become thoroughly permeated with -t.he creosote.
