TWICE A WEEK, $2.00 A YEAR ' f . , BLANTON SAVED , FROM EXPULSION TEXAN PUBLICLY REPRIMANDED BYX SPEAKER Bare Eight Votes Margin on Motion ^ to Oust Him Fronx ihe House Washington, Oct. 27.?Saved from ' being thrown out of the house of representatives by a bare margin of eight votes, Thomas A. Blanton (Democrat) of Texas was publicly reprimanded late today by Speaker Gilleti in accordance with a resolution of censure against which no man cast a 1 single vote. I Then a moment later as he walked out of the chamber with all eyes upon him, he toppled over in a heap. Some of his colleagues who had voted to ex pel him, picked him up and placed him on a lounge. But he did not stay , there long- Rousing himself, he stumbled out, the tears streaming down his 1 > cheeks and as he walked away he was heard to express the hope that he ^ I might never see, the house again. There was no doubt of the fact, as m __ < members expressed it, tnat tne rexan j wrs utterly crushed and worn by his experience of the day, an experience 1 f that seldom comes during the life of a ( -nnm in congress. For an hour and ten ), minutes, with hostile eyes upon him: he fought to defend himself from the ' ^ charge that he had transgressed the law by putting into the Congressional Record a document described as "unspeakably vile." Before he got up to . speal^in his own behalf, it was the * Ifi-ryA AAyofc View OX Ikttpuuiicaiia aiiu i/fciuv?.i?^ ( , . alike that action upon the resolution j to eipel him would "depend upon his i own attitude. -He- sat with folded]' hands as Representative Mondell of ' Wyoming, the Republican leader, \ ( pleaded earnestly to have him cast / * out. And then, pale and smiling, ht 1 stepped briskly to the front, as the 'leader sat down. His voice ts hoarse and broken. He Jouchfed rapidly upon, the charges, i . and^heri his old time fighting fire re- . turned. Right at Ihe beginning he ' ? 1 1? 1 ? woe r\"ynnfjVPH said ne miew mc uuu?c ??UJ to expel him: Question and Reply , Infusing at first to yield for ques- j ] tions," he permitted Representative | Longwcrth (Republican) of Ohio to j j ask Jiim something and Republicans j i asserted tonight that the reply had;turned i^he'tide against him. The Ohio ( member "wanted to know if the report was true that Mr. Blanton1 had de- ; clared? an intention to mail 250,000 f copies of the undelivered speech with j ] its offending affidavit, after the house j ] had ordered it stricken from the rec- J ] ord. Only a lack of money, he said, pre- i vented its mailing to every voting man in the United States. Instantly 1 half a dozen representatives were oil their feet-, trying to break in. Repre- ^ sentative Blanton had reiterated that rthe publication had been sent out "in I a just'cause," and no law had been |1 violated. Dramatically he pleaded J i with the house, for the sake of his j wife and children to put back into j \ the record his own undelivered speech j in which he declared there was not 11 one word calculated to give offense. U f But Republicans objected. As the fire j of questions started, Mr. Blanton j 1 abruptly closed his speech, with 20 t minutes still due him, and shot out of i the house. The vote to oust him, 203 to 133,11 with Sumners of Texas, an old politi- s cal riva:, voting "present," upset the j ^ calculations of some Democrats and j P Republicans, who earlier in the clay j ( had predicted that the Republican j leader was waging: a losing fight, i j They agreed that the leader, like a \ man staking all'on the turn of a card, Ir ^ was determined that Representative j} Blanton should go. A substitute resolution by Repre- i sentative Garrett of Tennessee, Dcrn- ( oCratic leader, censuring the Texan ? wvinfino' ''Inr?anaerf? cn t. ! c C<~ , obscene, vulg?r and vile" as to ren-' . der the record unmailable, and direct-' \ ing the speaker to "reprimand and ! < censure him" at the bar of the house, i j was thrown out on a point of order,! ( prior to the vote on expulsion. j HH, 1 It was an open winter, but the coal 1 ] dealer is writing letters to try and j c make it a hard summer. I # PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS PROSPEROUS PROSPERITY !

Washington, Oct. 29.?Southern senators yesterday agreed to call upon j cotton growers to tie up the market until it advanced from $50 to $75 peri bale. The position was taken that on account of the very short crop the producer could take that action, and that he was justified in doing so. Senator Heflin of Alabama, in speaking in the senate this afternoon,' declared that since August, 1920, the . world had consumed more than twice astmuch cotton as was produced this' year. J i "We intend to tie up the market," he said, "until the price will cover the cost of production?25 cents per pound?plus affair profit." He called upon producers to borrow; from federal reserve banks and the war finance corporation in order to' aid them in holding cotton. ** y Cooperative Marketing of Cotton j In pursuance to a call from the ' state organization there will be a meeting in the court house Saturday, ! Novmber the 5th, at eleven o'clock,! - - x, / to pertect p;ans to organize tne cotton farmers of the county. Organizations have already been completed in several of the cotton growing states I and every state has or will be organ-' ized in the near future. The South Carolina organization is to be completed by the first of May, 1922. Active campaigns are now in progress1 in a large number of the counties of the state. Newberry can not. afford to be left behind. Let every farmer, be at the court house Saturday at' eleven o'clock. A fuller account of the meeting1 and the name of the prin- ' cipal speaker will appear in Friday's issue of the county papers. T. M.

Roberts in The State. Washington, Oct. 27.?The president started something in Birmingham yesterday. The capitol today seethed with expressions ranging from regret to indignation following the publication of the speech of Mr. Harding de livered in Alabama. The grteat majority of senators, even Democrats, declined tc speak for publication. No Republican made a statement for the press. But it was the unanimous conclusion that the president had made a very unfortunate selection of a topic and that by discussing the race issue he had marred the most enthusiastic reception which he had received since his inauguration. Critics were moved for many reasons. There was resentment, in the first phce, that Mr. Harding, from his sphere of inexperience, had seen proper to tell Southern people how thay must conduct themselves towards the negro. It was held that the president proceeded 'on belief that Southern people were not according to the negro his deserts. This alleged attitude on the part of the president was construed as a direct and palpable and unjust rebuke. Senator Harrison of Mississippi, and Senator Watson of Georgia issued gtatemer.ts keenly resenting the statement of the president that the negro must be regarded as the \vh:te man's equal in all respects save social. Senator Harrison declared that the president evidently held that a ne^ro had equal rights to the presidential chair with the white man. Senator W itinn :ri fViic r>rmn .ipf inn nmnfoHlv IT UtUVli J?4 vv????vvv?v? rebuked the governor of Alabama who had approved the utterance of the president. In this S2me connection, Senator Hefiin of Alabama, quoted Lincoln as having declared that the negro was not entitled to voting and jury privi- t leges. * "So far as the South is concerned," he concluded, "We hold to the doctrine that God Almighty fixed the boundary line between the two races and no Republican can improve upon his handiwork." Senators Hitchcock and McKellar confined their criticism to the unfortunati features of the case. In their utterances there was the implication that as result of the president's statement, trouble betwen the races would likely develop. There was fear lest the ne^ro might aspire to the high level outlined by the president with +1 p inpvitnhlp rpsiilt. Tt. Was stated "oi. the quiet," that yesterday was the biggest day the negro has had since Jack Johnson won the pugilistic championship of the world. Serator Dial of South Carolina and Senator Karris of Georgia, asked for statement?, declined. But they talked in confidence. Reference was made to the fact that white people in Birmingham heard the president unmoved while the negroes were extravagant In fVirtir pArprpnpp was si \ so made to the expressions of approval that have been issued by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. An idea prevails, whether well founded or net, that but for su^ges:ions of Senator Underwood, who accompanied the president to Birminglam, the speech would have been ac:ually ?^nsaf:onal. 3.
