I BRITISH RATIFY k IRISH TREATY London, Dec. 16.?Prolonged cheering greeted the announcement this afternoon that both houses of the British parliament had ratified the treaty creating the Irish Free State by emphatic majorities. The house of commons, immediately after the vote was taken approving "the reply to the king's speech from the throne, which meant ratification of the treaty, recessed until Monday to await action on the treaty by the Dail Eireann, which is deliberating in Dublin. The Ulsterites and "die hards" fought bitterly to the end in a last desperate attempt to turn the tide which it was clearly seen from the first would overwhelm them. Charges of broken pledges were hurled at both Prime Minister Lloyd George and Austen Chamberlain, government lender in the house of commons. Major Robert O'Neill, speaking: of the Northern parliament, and other Ulsterites emphasized that the prevision of the treaty relating to the appointment of a boundary commission to draw the line between north and south Ireland in case Ulster decided to remain aloof from the treaty was inserted without the consent of Ulster. In the house of lords the vote was 1GG to 47; in the house of commons it was 401 to 58. There seemed to be no doubt in parliamentary circles tonight that the approval of the treaty by Andrew Bonar Law and the fact that the house of lords gave its sanction to it would influence the Ulster extremists and the hope was expresed that at another meeting of Mr. Lloyd George and Sir James Craig, which is expected to take place in tne near future, a new face will be put in things. Truck Loan Via Parcel Post k Carolina Remedies Co. today shipped a solid Reo truck load of their remedies by parcel post. The truck loaded full passed from the building on me corner 01 cmurcn ana mam street up Main street to the postoffice this morning. The Times man, upon learning of this shipment, visited the ' plant of the company and found that on Monday another truck load would go into the postoffice for shipment. These parcel post shipments are cases in which the concern is shipping a single carton to various concerns throughout the country. These freight shipments are much heavier. But it was an eye-opener to see such quantities going out by mail. The building recently purchased^by the^Caroplant isbeing^nstalled. ^The company contemplates adding a third story to the already large building in the near future. _ ' Land Sale State of South Carolina, Union County.

An agreement was al.->o being approached on other points concerning the mode of paymen", it was stated by the Chinese. It was decided that the road was ; to be paid lor in installments, but no {decision was reached on the DerioJ over which 53,000,000 gold German marks, the price agreed upon, would ! be spread. The Chinese offer to pay in cash, made yesterday, was not accepted by the Japanese and the Chinese countered with a proposal that payments he completed within two or three years, making the time as short as possible1. The Japanese, according to a Chinese delegate, tonight said this period* was too short, and suggested what to the Chinese seemed "a very long term." ine sudden turning back of th railway, the Japanese are understood i to have said, would adversely affect Japanese trade interests. China will ' not borrow from Japan any money with which to meet the payments, the | Chinese said, nor will any loan be | negotiated. Crsctsing Flight Langley Field Abandoned I Washington, Dec. 17.?

SIX SAILORS HURT IN COLLISION New York, Dec. 1G.?Six members of the crew of the United States destroyed Graham were injured tonight in a collision with the pusscngci steamship Panama otT Sea Girt, N. J. The bow of the Panama cut into the starboard side of the destroyer and held her fast. No attempt was made to draw the vessels apart before the arrival of wrecking tugs and other craft dispatched from the na\y yard ill answer to wireless calls for assistance. Three hours after the accident, a radio message from the Panama said j that the destroyer was resting easily across her bow and that the injured were receiving medical aid t orn the liner's surgeon and a doctor from the steamship General G. \V. Gcethals, which had reached the scene of the' accident. Naval authorities were awaiting a report from Cmndr. W. F. Amsden of the Graham to determine rcsp nisi bility for the crash, inasmuch as clear weather along the cost was reported by con> I guard stations. An early rn dio from the destroyer suited thai the Pan ma had rammed the naval vessel and that one of the latter' fire rooms had been flooded. Pr? nipt closing of the water tigh. compart m?nts evidently kept the destroyer afloat and enabled the pr.iw of the steamship to remain wed"cd in her hulk. The Panama was coming to N'nv "N'i rk with 107 passengers from the Canal Zone and the destroyer was hound from New York to Charleston. S. C.

NO OBLIGATIONS TO TAKE OP ARMS Washington, Dec. 1C.?While another assault on the four power Pacific treaty was in progress today in the senate, administration spokesmen look their first notice of the senate d'scussion and let it be known that they did not regard the treaty as imposing an obligation to take up arms. No pro\ ision of the new agreement, it was declared in highest administration circles, obligates any one of the four powers to take military measures in pursuance of decisions reached niv consultations among them. It was added that any such guarantee did not in any sense represent the spirit of the treaty. The oflicials were not willing to go further in interpreting the pact, but in response to questions they reiterated their understanding that the "region of the Pacific ocean," as the term is used in the treaty test, include., the ptineipal islands of the npanese empire and Australia and New Ze il inl as well. British spokesmen have indoised that application of ilie term and have declared it to be ti e una:, nious understanding in which the treaty w . signed. I he attack on the treaty in the senate during the da.\ was made by Senator lived (Democrat), Missouri, who referred to the question of including Japan proper within the scope of the pact, and declared an obligation was iic hid; d for protection of Japanese criteria! integrity. He again char u , ei i/.i'u ixh arrangements as an aini*il?y which tin? United States would ha\e little to gain and much to lose. Senator Itoed also declared the four p. wer plan might compel the United Stales to go to war against China or Itusvia. On this point official adminc:at on spokesmen have insistently repeated that the treaty in no way afYcts the mainland of Asia and could i to I hi? invoked in relation to questions arising within Chinese or Russian jurisdiction.

Lockhart Junction Lockhnrt function, Dec. 16.?1 have just run in home for a night after being away all the week. Part of the time 1 was in Union. I find good people everywhere. The people are leiiewing for the Daily Times as usual, evvii if money is scarce. They are trying to divide up with The Times, as nearly all the readers dl ' - . The Times inherited the old Unioi n Times. 1 mean,- their- --f a them grandfathers took the paper in their lifetime and they take it because they .. . have found it was read by uncle or * V'? aunt or some of the family has taken it before and they love this old paper that has lived so long. That is the right spirit in which to live. We need people who will boost and not knock. I must say as I have said ! am The Times agent or representative and have never got tired of working in the interest of the paper. I myself am partial to the old Union Times. My father was one among the l';rst subscribers to this paper, and of couise 1 am one like others who are interested in this paper. It is not so mm h money that I get that makes me like it but it is because it has lived so long a time. Of course it has had its trials like all other business, but it is still the Union Times just the same. While (in Union, Route 4, I stopped ;it. James Parr, where I took dinner. This v as 1?is birthday dinner. They had not kilhd hogs but they had the fat lieu baked and other good eats and 1 surely enjoyed this dinner and their kind hospitality. I attended the funeral of another good man. That was Frank Adams. Me and 1 grew up together and he was niy neighbor at one time. His death strikes me more feelingly as he was a man near my age and I knew him so well. Ilis family has my sympathy. Moxy. Proposal for Additional Naval Tonnage Washig.on.
