\ ' FIRSECTION ?1ip Sambfrg % erali) PA<^o8 BAMBERG, 3. C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13,1919. Established in 1891 TOLD TO STAND BY THEIR GUNS PRESIDENT WILSON ADVISES AD MINISTRATION FORCES. BLOCK RESERVATIONS Majority Senators Plan to Oppos< Ratification if Republicans Insist on Changes. i Washington, Nov. 7.?The first af firmative step toward qualification o < the peace treaty was taken today bj the Senate after administration lead ers, with the backing of Presideni noun, aau icami mcu tu^xi xutcu tion of voting against ratification i: the reservations drawn by the Senate majority committeee were incorporat ed in it. The initial test of strength on th< reservation program of the foreign delations committee fround the Republicans almost solidly behind it the group of mild reservationists whc helped kill the committee's amend> ment, and the irrecon ciliable groui of treaty foes standing together foi the first time since the long treat) fight began. By a vote of* 4 8 to 40 the Senate , approved, after all efforts to amend il had failed, the committee's preamble to the reservation group, requiring that to make the treaty binding al least three of the four great powers must accept the Senate qualifications '*Ph o nnlv "Rormhli^on tctVi n r? i o . ^ A MV VU?J A V4 W&AVUr<U tt MV U I U AAW< swing into line for the proposal was i Senator McCumber, of North Dakota with three Democrats, Senators Reed Missouri; Gore, Oklahoma, anc Walsh, Massachusetts, voting with the -majority. Turns Offer Down. When adjournment was reached the first of the fourteen reservations was under debate, and" Republican leaders were claiming they had safe majorities pledged for the entire group. The mild reservationists, it was declared, had turned down a nev Democratic offer of compromise while the irreconcilable wing was devising a plan of action by which thej hoped to defeat the treaty entirely The best claim made by the administration forces was that the treats would be wedged into a deadlock which in the end would make compromise inevitable. The plan to vote against the treats and thus deadlock the ratificatioi fight was declared to have Presidenl Wilson's unqualified support. Senatoi ^ Hitchcock, of Nebraska, the Demo cratic leader, saw the President dur ing the day for the" first time sine* ^ Mr. Wilson returned from his speak Ing tour and went over with him th< entire situation surrounding th< treaty in the Senate. Afterwards Mr Hitchcock said the executive regardec the committee reservations as "de structive" and the preamble a; "very embarrassing," and advised. th< administration Senators to stand b: their guns. The President was said to have as serted an aggressive opposition to ac ceptance of reservations which woul< I ^ impair the treaty, but to have showi a willingness to leave the matter o a compromise in the hands of the ad ministration Senators, to be workec out after the deadlock stage had beei j reached. Mr. Wilson explained, Sen ator Hitchcock said, that he had sen for the administration leader to givi assuran.ee of his support in the con templated programme and of hi gratitude over the successful figh against amendments, f No Compromise. After the White House conferenci the Democratic leader declared hi cpnviction that there would be m compromise until the deadlock actu ally had developed. He conceded tha most of the committee reservation would be written into the ratificatioi resolution and that after--the latte had been killed by Democratic vote , an unqualified ratification resolutioi also would probably fall. Then th time would be ripe, he declared, fo the Senators favoring ratificatioi without reservations to get togethei He Forgot Something. "You- seemed embarrassed whe: that pretty girl met you at the sta tion." "I had a reason for feeling era barrassed," answered the doughboy "What was it?" "I promised to bring her the Kais er's ears."?Buffalo Commercial. YOUXG MAN IS ARRESTED. Charged With Entering Bedroom of | Woman. York, Nov. 7.?Charged with entering the room of a well-to-do young white woman, the daughter of a wellknown York county man, W. A. Painter, a white man about thirty-three years of age, was committed to jail here Thursday night on a warrant swor;n out by the young woman's fa5 ther before Magistrate J. C. Conner. Painter, who claims North Carolina as his home, boarded at the same home?here in which the young woman, who is in the employ of a local firm, boards. It is alleged that he f entered the young lady's bed room 7 Wednesday night. She was asleep - at the time, but was awakened by his A ? ^1*--J I presence. as soon as sue reanzeu the situation she demanded that he leave at once, which he did. Yesterday morning she found in J her room a note, the handwriting of - which is said to correspond to that of Painter's, in which she was threati ened with further insult in case she l reported the occurrence of the pre vious night. She promptly turned the , note over to the authorities and noti) fied her father, who resides in the - country near here. The father came ) to town and swore out the warrant * which resulted in Painter's arrest. ' In a statement made to Chief of Police J. Cal Steele last night Painter i denied any intent of wrong-doing. He t admitted entering the young woman's i room, but declared that he had been ; attracted there in the belief that she t was ill, and said it was his intention ? to render any assistance possible. Painter has been here several days, : presumably representing a North Car> olina paint concern. DIES AS RESULT OF ACCIDENT. , John P. Hawkins Is Fatally Injured By Automobile. Greenville, Nov. 7.?Mr. John P. I Hawkins, a prominent farmer who re} sides eight miles from Greenville, ana t G. J. Brown, also a well-known farm> er, of the upper section, were struck ? by a 7-pass^nger automobile driven 5 by Mr. W. W. Amick, a grocer, when r Mr. Amick lost control of the car and it mounted the sidewalk on East ? . Washington street. Mr. Hawkins r died as a result of the injury he received forty-five minutes after the . accident. Mr. Brown's condition is r not considered serious, though his in juries are painful. Mr. Hawkins was in conversation with Mr. Brown when the automobile r ran amuck. The car dragged Mr. i Hawkins down the sidewalk about t forty-five feet, then was turned into r the street by the driver and collided . with a large coupe, damaging both . cars. The injured men were rushed . to the city hospital where medical at. tention was given them. ; Mr. Amick seemed dazed after the 5 accident and said that he could offer no explanat/on for the accident other 1 than his belief that the steering gear . suddenly got out of order. He was 3 arrested by the city police and turned a over to the sheriff who lodged him in jr jail. The coroner's inquest will be held in the morning. . CHARLESTON YARD ATTACKED. 1 j Introduce Resolution to Repeal Law f For Deepening Channel. Washington, Nov. 8.?An attack j on the Charleston navv yard was j made here today when Senators Cald. er, of New York, and Kenyon, of t Iowa, introduced resolutions which o would repeal provisions of the law _ passed last year authorizing the s dredging of a channel to the Chart leston yard and construction of a large new dry dock there. These resolutions set forth the fact e that these were war measures and s that since the war has now been over 5 for a year there is no further need _ for them and that to expend a large j. amount of money would mean a big s waste of the public funds. a When informed of the resolutions i n -> 1- n i__ n:?l Onnnfn* 2? today ootn senator jL?xai auu ocuaiui s Smith said they would immediately n take hold of the situation and do all e in their power to prevent action on r the resolutions. n Senator Smith immediately discussed the matter with Senator Kenyon and said it was very satisfactory. Later Senator Smith said he did not believe the matter would be pushed n and that if it is there is but little i- chance for it to pass the senate. The fact that these resolutions i- have been offered in congress means r. that the South Carolina delegation must exert itself to prevent action 5- against the best interests of the city of Charleston. i PROTECT NATION FROM DISTRESS COURT DECLARES COAL STRIKE APPROACHES REBELLION. MUST CANCEL STRIKE. Tuesday Named as Day for Withdrawing Order Which Caused Miners to Walk Out. ' Indianapolis, Nov. S.?Cancellation of the strike order which since midnight of October 31 has kept 400,000 union bituminous miners out of the coal pits of the country, was ordered by Judge A. B. Anderson, in the federal district court here today. ''Violation of the war-time federal food and fuel control act. as alleged by the Attorney General's department, was affirmed by the court, who said that the strike was not only illegal but that under the circumstances it approached rebellion. Unless the union leaders choose to defy the court?and there was no indication tonight of any such intention ?they can move only toward ending the big walkout. The court's order was so worded that failure to cancel the strike call, or any affirmative word or action tending to "aid and abet" the continuance of the strike would make them violators of the injunction and in contempt of court. Tonight, therefore, the union leaders are under orders to meet here Monday, draw up a cacellation of the strike order, submit it for Judge Anderson's approval by 10 a. m., Tuesday, and have notice of it on the way to all local and district unions by 6 p. m., that day. Telegrams summoning district presidents of the union and members of the executive board hnd the central competitive field scale committee to meet here Monday were dispatched a few hours after Judge Anderson's sweeping andate had been issued. Union officials here would not comment upon the court action. RITCHIE BARELY WINS. Democratic Cad id ate Elected Gover nor of Maryland. i Baltimore, Nov. 8.?State Attorney General Albert C. Ritchie, Democrat, was elected governor of Maryland at last Tuesday's election on a plurality of 165 over Harry N. Nice, Republican, according to complete official returns, the canvass of which was finished today. The official vote stands: Ritchie, 112,240; Nice, 112,075. Brooklee, Democrat, was elected comptroller, while Alexander Armstrong, Republican, was elected attorney" general. Caleb D. Magruder, Democrat, was elected clerk of the court of appeals. The Republican state central committee announced that it would contest the election by demanding a recount by the state legislature, which meets in January. The legislature is controlled by the Democrats. ^? Supreme Court R Grace is Columbia, Nov. 11.?Holding that the action of the Charleston Democratic executive committee, in the manner in which it declared John P. Grace the Democratic Nominee for mayor of Charleston on August 22, was illegal and prejudicial to the incumbent Major T. T. Hyde, the State supreme court, in a majority opinion handed down this morning shortly after 11 o'clock, set aside the nomination. "From what has been said," the majority opinion sums up in its con elusion, "it is clear that we cannot determine from the record before us which of the candidates for mayor received the mapority of the votes that were and ought to have been counted. We cannot, therefore, sustain the contention of the petitioner that the court will consider the votes / and declare the election. Nor can we sustain the contention that, in the absence of a declaration of the executive committee, the count oi managers should be sustained as a declaration of the results. Under the statutes and rules the managers MADE A FIXE RECORD. Bainl>erg County Invested More Than Million Dollars in Bonds. I The fifth federal reserve bank I has just issued a report on the in| vestment in liberty bonds in the district. The reports shows that Bamberg county subscribed and paid for more than a million dollars worth ! of bonds in the last four loans. Unfortunately no detailed summary was kept of the investments in the first liberty loan, and figures for this loan are not available. No organized campaign was conducted for the first loan however the investment in this .county was comparatively small, though i it amounted to some thousands of ! dollars, taken mostly by the banks. I The following figures show the ap! portionment and the amount sub1 scribed in each campaign in tTie counties in this section: SECOND LOAN. Apportioned. Subscribed. !

Allendale county was formed only before the victory loan, and the previous subscriptions from Allendale were included in Barnwell and Hampton counties. , The report indicates that Bamberg county fell short of its allotment in the victory loan. Colonel J. C. Guilds, who was chairman of this campaign, calls our attention to the | fact that the full allotment was subj scribed in this county, but that for j some reason the subscription made | through one of the county brinks is not credited in the report. The report indicates a shortage of $15,000 j in the amount alloted to the county. I Had the subscriptions through the | bank referred to been credited, the total wfrt?ljl have exceeded the allotment. ^ < ! ?

It follows that all we can do is to hold that the result f of the election has not been legallj ascertained and declared, and that the actions of the executive commit, tee in attempting to do so were affected by errors of law, prejudicial ,to the petitioner, Hyde, and must be set aside, and it is so adjudged." The majority opinion was writter ( by Associate Justice D. E. Hydrick . and was concurred in by Chief Justice Eugene B. Gary and Associate i Justice T. B. Fraser. A dissentins opinion, written by Associate Jus i tice Richard C. Watts, was concurr. ed in by Associate Justice George W Gage. ' j Justice Watts dissented on th< i' grounds that the Charleston electior l j case was political and not judicial t: and, for that reason, was withoul s; the jurisdiction of the supreme court f '"As nothing is involved in this fbu1 i political rights, I am opposed to the ' court interfering in any form," he i said.

Scuppernong vines must be pruned before the first of December or else there will be more or less bleeding. Get some shears now and begin thinning them out and removing old vines which are diseased. These vines require more work than science to prune, especially if on an arbor, k" If you have an orchard needing attention, I shall be glad to help you. I have about twenty listed al- ' ready and will start this work in a few weeks. Understand, however, that we are not allowed to prune and 1_ spray anyone's entire orchard, but will be glad to fix up several of your J- trees and give you a good idea about S how to continue the work yourself/ /N ? ? uraer some pruning tools (will cost $4 or $5) and a spray pump (costing 'e about $7 or $12, depending on the J~ kind used) and be ready to get your n orchard in shape for next year. 0 This week I am working on the co* operative carload of wire fencing for 0 Ehrhardt. Let me know at once if you want to get in on this order. It will save you money, for you must r" have fencing. ' \ The State entomologist, speaking at the State fair, said: "Farmers of the middle and upper sections of the T " State must be thinking of diversifving their crops, but farmers from t ?" Orangeburg on down have simply got j[ r" to diversify." Mr. G. Eddie Kearse, living below the Colston section, told me last week ' that he cleared (net profits) on three i' acres of tobacco the past season $888 5; and he showed me the papers and re[& ceipts to prove it. He and his son r; gave the crop their personal attention throughout and allowed no one else to look after it, with the exception of advice from the experienced man who was paid to look after tobacco for several farmers in this section. This is certainly one method ^ of beating the boll weevil. I have information on where to i obtain peanut seed far planting and pickers and also som^good bulletins 1_ on the growing of peanuts for market. Write to me if interested.
