They W solicited the attention of Senator j on/1 o cl' O rl ho in VPefri tP i 1 their plan and co-operate with them, if, in Ms judgment, it would be of benefit to fbring the plan to the attention of tine officials of the treasury department.

The State, 24th. Statewide prohibition sentiment was injected into the senate's deliberations yesterday when the bill by Senator ! Lawson of Darlington came up for a ! second reading. Tthis is a proposal to j have all dispensaries closed during the European disturbances. When the bill was before the committee the ruling was that it could not be classed as emergency legisla1 tinn Tjiad)verte?ntlv it was not labeled "unfavorable," and ultimately get on j the calendar. Senator Lawson made an earenst | plea for immediate consideration. ! There were no dispensaries in his I ! county, he argued but Florence maintained two near the border. These ; were patronized by many people from Darlington, who were unable to pay . their debts. H'e 'iad been told that : in Lake City the dispensary sales for i a month had amounted to more than I the cash sales by all the merchants of the town. Senator Verner said he was willing to eliminate the sale of cigarettes and cold drinks also. He had heard of one county in which the money spent for whiskey in one year was in excess of the value of ?be entire cotton crop. Oconee, once a dispensary county, began on a $300 a year business. In five years this had increased to $50,000. | Despite the author's plea for coni sideration, there was disposition to ! recommit the bill to the committee, i ! that the error in renortiner misrh* 'h,-> I ~ v-' ? ~ " corrected. Tbe consensus oT opinion was that*it would be "snap'' judgment to act impulsively, when contracts Tor purchases had already been made., | Debate was postponed on the question until Tuesday at 12:30 o'clock. The | senate adjourned at noon to meet Monday nighit at 8 o'clock. mm A Beautiful Tribute. !' In writing of the death of Mrs. E. D. Kerr the AlWoeville Press and Banner of the 14tih' says: i The deceased was reared1 in Abbeville where her sunny disposition , made her a general favorite. She taught in the graded schools of this [place, giving entire satisfaction, a net the while endearing herself to hundreds of little children, who speak most affectionately of her. Great sympathy is felt, ifor Mrs. White and tfae surviving members of j her family. It has fallen to the lot ! of 'bait few families' to experience so many tragic deaths within the home . circle. Within the sipace of a few years she has lost her husband, one of Abbeville's most substantial cit-! izens, her eldest son, in the prime of manhood and susefulness, another ; son, just assuming tne responsibilities oif life, and now her youngest daugher, bright, attractive, womanly; on- i whom the mother's heart leaned for solace and comfort in lier sorrow. (Mrs. Kerr was married1 less' than a year ago to Rev. E. D. Kerr, Presbyterian minister, of Newberry, S. C. j*Li'te seemed to hold ii/or her many I pleasures and none greater than that I of devotion to duty in the broad field offered to the minister's wife. And it may be truly said that she was well equip-ped for her seemingly destined life work. Kind, gentle, sympathetic she would surely bave carried peace and love into the homes she visited. But she has gone, while yet the sunshine of youth was in her soul. Dark and unfathomable as is this mystery a! providence, there is light and com- j fort in the short life allotted to her. And in a little while, a very little wlh-ile. t;hp- broken links of thp fnmilv I chain will be reunited. The longest life is but a breath in the plan of eternity. While the heart is sick with promise blighted it is hard to realize that death too, is a part of a Father's plan j administered in love. Man knows only j that which is temporal, and it is hard, humanly speaking, i^> find peace ! and comfort in the promise: "What I j do 'thou knowest not now: but thou j shalt know hereafter." | j NEWBERRY ELEVEN HOLDS GAMECOCKS DESPERATE GAME S"vvantor's Long Run as Game Ended Made Einal Score 13 to IS. j Columbia Record, 2.>th.

Baker missed an easy goal, with the victory in his grasp. First Half, : Carolina received the kickoff and started off with a rush and by jaS>s at Newberry's lure coupled wifca short end runs carried tv.e ball to the 25Oard line, where they were forced to 'kick. McLain brought up the kick 25 yards and gave Carolina a hair-raising scare by almost getting :ree of the en tire field. Shortly after Langston got ; away for 40 yards. Hard line plunges by Kerr and Edwards finally pushed the ball to Newberry's one-yard line and there it stopped. Four timei Kerr smashed at the red line and the fourth j time the ball wias still on that line. I Ashlbaugh punted outside on the 30| yard line. Carolina, after some small | successes, was s-fcopped and Newberry I recovered t?he ball. Here the redjerseyed team showed its" first flash . oil form and began a swift advance down the field, ending with broken field run 'by R. Baker for the first touchdown of the game. Goal was kicked and the scoring was over for the first half although both team's later threatened. Second Half. Carolina kicked off to Newberry in the opening of the second half and the ball was returned 15 yards. A bril- : liant succession of forward passes to- ' gether witft. end runs by Swanton -and Baker placed1 Newberry again in striking distance of the goal, Swanton attempted a field goal but failed. Carolina then took the ball 75 yards 'irom her own goal and by continued1 hammering at the Lutheran line and , short end diashes by Edwards and j Langston moved the ball to midfield. j Here amid the tumu'ltuous cheering of the Carolina rooting section Dan Heyward, 'the famous 'half back who has j featured every Carolina game last, | year and 1912 wenit (for Goings.

After several trials, a long forward pass to Brooker carried the ball over the line for the firsft Carolina touchdown. Goal i ; was missed. | The second tou'chidown came in much the same way as the first, this time a long pass to Pant carrying the j bail over. Porter kicked goal. The game jogged along evenly thereafter until the end of the last quarter with the "ball mostly in Carolina's possession. Then an attempted forward pass from Harth went squarely inito the arms of big Swanton and he was away for a touchdown with a clear field.

All details c* the plan were not made public tonight. New York bankers hai.e agreed to subscribe $50,000,000 to the fund and Southern banks are counted on for $35,000,000 more. The remaining $50,000,000 is to be raised in non-cotton producing States. (Secretary MoAdoo oultined the plan tonight in toe following statement: Continues Its Work, "The .federal reserve board today continued consaderation of plans for relief of the cotton situation giving special attention to a plan suggested' Dy ATDerx a. WTgigin, j. Jti. Alexander, A. J. Hemphill and William Woodward of New York and Festus J. Wade otf St. Louis for the raising of a cotton loan fund aggregating ?135,000,000. This plan has been evolved from that originally proposed by Mr. Wade. Full details can not be given out until it is submitted to bankers in leading financial centres to ascertain whether or not they will support it.

Members Show Disposition to Pass Anything "Just So it is Something^ Rather Thau Admit inability. ! i The State, 23rd. Yesterday morning the house i 1 plunged headforemost into the con- J sideration o?f the question of issuing | I bonds to the amount of some $25,000,- A 000 on the credit o:> the State to buy M cotton or loan money on cotton to M men in Soutih Carolina who have it ^ jlor collateral. For three and a half hours yesterday morning, for two , hours yesterday afternoon and for two ; hours la9t night the debate raged. The ; proposition was "brought before the house at the morning session on the plea that t)he committee appointed by fu ~ v, ?~ ~ Trr??u:_ " ? ; uue UUU&e tu gU IU VV CUSIiUlgtUIl iUi consultation with W. G. McAdoo, -secretary of the treasury, should he in-- ; formed of the position of the 'house ' on the proposed bond issue before it i left Columbia. Mr. Stevenson of Chesterfield and Dr. Dick of Sumter entrained for Washington yesterday afternoon at 6:50 o'clock to join the senate committee. The house took a recess albout an hour before they were scheduled to leave. At t:is " * | titae the 'house had not registered its | opinion on the proposed giant bond ! issup bv a. sinizle vote, nor did it do so last nigihft In 'consequence, the committee went to Washington uninistructed, as it were. There seems to be a disposition among the nramfbers of the house now to defer all action on the proposal to \ submit the bond issue to the people ; until the committee from Crie house l and senate returns from Washington j with a "tip" from McAdoo. The seven and a half hour debate in 'the house yesterday on the bond isi sue was intensely interesting, involv' ing as it did tbe biggest financial proposition the general assembly has v had before it in half a century. The proposal that the State issue bonds, secured by cotton, was unsparingly condemned as an unbusinesslike prop ositien likely to wreck 'the credit of the State. The most ardent advocates of the bond issue, and there are many of them in the house, could only indorse the proposal on the grounds of expendiency. Observers who have been closely in touch with the house ':or several years are at a loss to find a parallel for the situation in which the ^ody ^ A r* ? + ?/vTt* Q nno?

' The magnitude of' the proposed' remedy for the existing depression in business is in itseft" staggering when it is" realized that it 'would at least mekn quararupling the bonded debt of the State should it receive the votes of two-thirds of the electors on No vember 3. Some of the speakers at the three sessions yesterday said that they intended to vote for the proposed issue of bonds because the measure would go before the people at ttfce Tn r. r>n t rn v^rti n er this do si tion, other debaters said that it was probable that the electors would consider that the bond) issue had the indorsement of the general assembly should it be passed, and vote for It accordingly. "Something, So Matter What" The psychological state ot the house, evidenced by the debate on Che bond scheme at the three sessions yesterday, was fittingly described by Mr. Vander Horst of Charleston when he declared that the body seemed determined to "pass something, no matlA T_ _ A, . w/* ? n.rr '' ter wuai; just su il w<u> ovin^um^With cotton selling at a low price, the financial 'condition of the State is admittedly poor at present. There were abundant indications yesterday that members of the 'house perferred going to any lengths rather than confess their impotence to remedy existing financial condition by legislation and their willingness to "pass somethng no matter what; just so it was something." There are five bonid issue proposals 'before the house now, none of which (has been acted upon. The house yes1* terday took up the bond issue bill in(CONTINUED ON PAGE 6.)
