MANY AMENDMENTS | REJECTED BY SENATE Thirty-Six Proposed Treaty Changes Quickly Swept Aside?Effort at Changes Result in Defeat. Washington, Oct. 2.?The senate * 1 1- - <L ~ J swept aside m.quicK succession tuu<t> 36 of the 45 amendments which had been written into the peace treaty by the foreign relations committee. Th.? smallest majority recorded against any of the committee proposals was 15 and the largest was 28. All of the amendments considered had been introduced by Senator Fall, republican, of New Mexico and were designed to curtail American partic-1 ? ipation 'in European settlements resulting: from the war. i Of the nine amendments yet to be! acted on, six relate to the Shantung section, two propose to equalize vot- j ing power in the league of nations nnH one would limit American repre sentation on the reparations commis- S ? sicn. In the absence of a definite 1 agreement for disposition of these 1 proposals, senate leaders thought to-' night that the debate might run on for several days before another roll r?s?ll taken. Throughout the day's voting the democrats presented a solid front against the amendments except for Senator Gore of Oklahoma . and ; Thomas of Colorado. Seventeen re-! , publicans, on the other hand, lined up j against the first committee proposal to be considered and most of them \ stood with the democrats on all succeeding roll calls. Many of them an-! nounced they were for reservations which they believed would cover the 1 same ground without endangering the treaty. Treaty Advocates Elated. j / At adjournment the treaty advo- j rates declared themselves elated at J the day's work and the opposition ! leaders also were claiming a victory j on the showing made for their amend- j ments. They mustered a maximum; strength of 31, which with absentees | would be sufficient they declared to insure the treaty's defeat unless satisfactory qualifications are accepted. Thirty-three negative votes on the final roll call, they pointed out, would make impossible the two-thirds majority necessary for ratification. Under special arrangements j speeches on the amendments were limited to five minutes and nearly half the senate menibership got into the running debate, which occupied most of the day. Only a few senators were absent and many members of the house crowded into the rear of the chamber to see the first actual action on the treaty, while in the filled galleries the ushers stood guard in the aisle to restrain spectators from applauding the declarations from the floor. Once during the debate the rule against applause was broken, however, a wave of hand clapping fol- j 1- t? o?! lowing a SpCCCTl uy ocuavui i.uwuui~ i ber of North Dakota, a republican member of, the committee who plead- j ed against amendment of the treaty and concluded by declaring that no harm could come of America's "doin? its full duty to the very end." The demonstration was quickly hushed vigorous use of the gavel. There were only four roll calls, all the o?.ner amendments being voted dovvTi by acclamation. The first re cord vote stood 30 to 58 against an amendment to eliminate the United States from representation on com^aiassion to adjust the German-Belgian -boraidary. Tk senate went on record 81 fcv 56 against withdrawing from 'the Saar basin commission; 28 to 53 : against refusing to be a party/to the [agreements affecting Czechoslovakia, oand 81 to 46 against precluding : this country from Upper Silesia set- i ^dement. , First Roll Call.

Bitterness in Debate. | The debate developed considerable bitterness, Chairman Lodge of the foreign relations committee drawing fire from the treaty advocates with ? a. 1 i a speecn supporting wie gcnciai yui- I pose of the Fall amendments. While j the world could not doubt America's j i willingness to come to the aid of civilization whenever it was threatened, he said1, it was not necessary t}o take part in "every boundary dispute" of Europe. 1 ? i i ^ ! Senator Pomerene also reaa irom a speech made in the senate by Mr. j j Lodge in 1899, declaring it would be' ; cowardly to leave the Philippines to i their fate after American blood had! jbeen spilled for their freedom and saying that to defeat the pending Spanish-American treaty would be a repudiation of President McKinley before the whole world. Repudiation | 1 * --- 1- *-4-^ Car, . I i oi a president in such ~<x mattci, ator Lodge was quoted as saying, J would mean "the humiliation of the j United States in the eyes of civilized i mankind." j Referring to Senator Lodge's state-1 ment that the United States could be ! | depended on as the friend of civilization, Senator Williams said the for eign relations chairman had. an op- j portunity in the present situation to i make good his words, but that instead | * * 1-- I he was trying "to stand trom unaer. j Senator Fletcher quoted a declara- i tion made by Mr. Lodge las* Decern- ! ber that the United States was j "bound by honor and self respect to see that the terms of peace are car- j ried out." { COTTON. Brother Farmer, wiii we never j open our eyes for our own good? If j we do not do something now we will | have to do just like we have beenj. doing?just take what the other fel-1 low will give us for our cotton?and j if it is five cents we will have to take 1U Now, if we will, I mean all the j farmers and others interested in the j cotton association, just take five j shares each, and ?all that are able take as many more as they can, we will net only have money enough to buy the distress cotton* but all the cotton made in the county. Now, what a grand thing it would; be for every one, except those wfio I speculate in cotton. Let Newberry j be the first one to go over the top, j and I think all the counties will soon _ ? - / 1 , | r do the same. 1 thinK ivir. Jennings i i plan is the best way to whip the f fight. If you can not or will not take any shares of the stock, then hold your cotton until you get 36 : cents. The banks say they will help you hold your cotton. You will have ; : to do one or the other, or take just ? what you can get. r I agree with Senator Johnstone in [ what he said at the meeting Satur- E day. He said he had his last year's j E cotton and was glad he held it. 11 E have mine and am glad I have it j E even if I have to take less than 35 j | cents, which I do not nave?any iaea: t I.will. j I Now, I think by my holding and j t others holding has been the means of j f others who could not hold getting 35 j E cents for their cotton. And I feel} : that I have done some good to some J : one. I have held my cotton nearly j : every year and never lost on it but1 : one time. I held my 1914 crop and j : received 12 1-2 cent^ for it. I near- j ly doubled my money on it. T. W. G. \ trm Stillwell-Jones. "kT onrl Mr Wil- | : Miss i\ancy ouuwcu nuu ........ liam E. Jones, of Mountville, were!
