The senate late . < Jay, sustained President Harding* veto, 44 to 28. The action of the senate makes impossible the veteran's compensation at least until the next . o v-i of congress. The next session begins early in December. In the uKantime it is the purpose of some of me proponents of the bill to continue the fight and the bonus may become the issue in the coming congres.... .. 1 campaigns this fall. W ashington, Sept. 20.?The soldiers' bonus bill failed of enactment late today, the senate sustaining President Handing's veto. Previously the house had overriden the veto by a large majority. The senate roll call showed 44 yeas to 28 nays, or four less than the twothirds majority necessary to enact the measure without the president's approval. The vote in the house was 258 to 54, or 60 more than the required number. Although it was reported that a new bonus bill might be introduced tomorrow, it was certain the bonus fight would not be renewed at least until the next session of congress, which will begin December 4. 1 The house vote on the first passage of the bonus last March 23, was 333 to 70, or 4.76 to 1, as compared with 4.77 to 1 today. The senate vote today compared with 47 to 22 by which the measure was first passed on August 81. Most of the house votes to sustain the president were cast by members from Eastern and Southern states with Western delegations voting almost solidly for the bill. There were two changes in the senate, Senator Cameidn (Republican) of Arizona, who voted for the bonus originally, voting to sustain the veto while Senator McKinley (Republican) of Illinois, who it was announced was favorable to the bill on the first vote was paired against it. There was only brief consideration of the measure in the house. In calling up the bill, Mr. Mondell said it had been considered for a long i i Hr? likely to change a single vote and was unnecessary. Mr. uarrett asKfed that there be an hour's discussion but after cries of "Vote, vote," from the Republican side the majority leader moved the previous question and the roll call was ordered. Announcement of the result of the voting was received in silence by both the membership and the fairly well filled galleries. The same was true in the senate.

BRITISH PREPARE FOR TURKISH MOVE London, Sept. 20 (By the Associated Press).?Beyond the fact that the result of Lord Curzon's conference at Paris with Premier Poincare was an agreement among the three allied powers, Great Britain, France and. Italy, on the advisability of convening a peace conference, little has be come known of today's developments in the Near East crisis. The sudden and unexpected call for a ministerial conference in London this afternoon, which led to a formal council, caused renewed alarms concerning possible critical developments, but these were allayed later when, although no official communication was issued throwing light on the origin of the sudden conference, it was intimated that the situation instead of having undergone a change for the worse might be considered much easier. The assumption is that the council considered the projected peace conference and M. Poincare's explicit statement that under no circumstan* ces would French soldiers be employed against the Kemalists. Evidence that the British government has aprpehensions that Kemal Pasha may attempt to invade the neutral zone is found in the anxiety the; government displays to make clear that the Greeks at no time have been within the Chanak neutral zone. An official statement in this connection admits that on one occasion Greeks pursuing brigands last May crossed into the neutral zone, but on meeting British troops immediately withdrew and thin war Hip nnlv norsninn nn which they violated the neutral line. This statement reveals the desire to prove that Kemal Pasha has no excuse to violate the netural zone. That this anxiety is not misplaced is indicated by news dispatches from the Associated Press correspondent today that the Angora assembly has confirmed Kemal Pasha's dictatorship and accorded him a free hand in the present crisis and the report current in Constantinople that the Kemalists are preparing for an attempt on the straits before the end of the present week and before Great Britain is able to get up reinforcessswts. - Although it. .1 earns _ taddanL that in any such derelopment England will be left to**act alone, it is emphasized in official quarters tonight that there has been no request from Prance for the withdrawal of British troops from the Asiatic side of the straits. The Daily Mail in its conduct of an anti-government campaign insistently demands that Great Britain follow the example of France and Italy and withdraw all British forces from Chanak. It argues that their exposed position is a military blunder and a serious danger because "while politicians are talking the men on the spot may find themselves compelled to start fighting." Notice to Public The United States Treasury Department announces that after September 30, 1922, the $1 Treasury Saving Stamps will not be on sale and the purchase prices of Treasury Saving Certificates will be advanced from $20 to $20.50 for the $25 certificates, from $80 to $82 for the $100 certificates and from $800 to $820 for the | $1,000 certificates.

New Brunswick, H. J. Sept. 20 (By the Associated Prtjha).?The snares spread by the prosecuting and detective staffs of two Counties five days ago for the peraoh or persons responsible for the Idling of the Rev. Edward Wheeler Ball, rector of the Protestant Episcopal church of St. John the Evangelist* and Mrs. James Mills, choir leader im the church were closing in tonight, t^e police said, on a singlt suspect. "We will not be rushed in this case," said Proapcbtor Strieker of Middlesex county. fTo make an ar rest now would be .'to open the way for habeas corpus proceedings, which would force us to jNsclose the lines along which we ha^p been working." Detectives of MkfcUesex and Somerset counties were ^reported working in widely scattered points of New Jersey throughout Jtbe day and all were understood to . be working to make more tangiblwthe theory in which the unnamed* suspect is the central figure.

Union Masons ikve' HkftW Charters Union Masotttj^K ~ old historical charters^^ ^."uiWch bears om .T*e j mason of his day, the late Dr. Albert G Mackey, of Charleston, S. C. These charters are property of Union Lodge No. 75, Ancient Free Masons and were issued to Union Masons by the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free Masons of South Carolina, all of which are prized very highly. The oldest of these charters is one granted to Union Lodge No. 43, A. F. M., which is 104 years old and was issued by M. W. Grand Master Thomas W. Bacot December 26, 1818. This is a very quaint and unique written document and is a very interesting find for students of rare and ancient documents The second gives the name of Union Lodge No. 75, A. F. M., and is dated November 1st, 1853, and signed by William L. Cleveland, Grand Master of the Craft for South CaroIjnn. This is of much historical value and is the greatest prize of Union Lodge, it bears the signature of America's greatest Freemason, Albert G. Mackey as Grand Secretary of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge Ancient Free Masons of South Carolina. The present charter which is the authority under which Union Lodge No. 75, A. F. M. now works was issued by M. W. Grand Master Augustine T. Smythe, December 10th, 1879. Two of these old charters, the one issued in 1818 and 1879 hang on the walla of the Masonic Temple of this city The third v/hieh bears the signature of BrotK&r^'Albert G.

MEETING PREVENTS WAR IN EAST PariB, Sept. 20 (By the Associated Pi .s).?Definite assurance thut there will be no war in the Near East and the calling of a peace conference for the settlement of the Turkish problem were the chief results of the allied meeting this afternoon. Premier Poineare, Lord Curzon and Count Sforza were the participants in the conference. The eight interested powers including the Angora government, will gather around the peace table within three weeks, probably at Rome or Venice, and make a new treaty with Turkey to take the place of the treaty of Sevres. The eight nations called togeth'-r are Great Britain, France, Italy, Ja pan, Turkey, Greece, Rumania and Jugoslavia. Japan's inclusion at the last minute came as a surprise. It was due to Lord Curzon's insistence. The British foreign secretary told Premier Poineare that his government frankly feared the close association it had reason to believe existed between Moscow and Angora and Junnn'.Q nrpspnoo wnc rloc i-ro/T t r? AtTv.of ? r - """ MVW.VVi vv V w V this Bolshevik influence. It was also explained that Japan was a signatory of the treaty of Sevres which is to be abandoned for the new agreement anu was entitled to b present for that reason. It is remarked in French circles, however, that the participation of Japan insures another vote for British policy in any issue which may arise In the conference. M. Poincare in consenting to the presence of Japan demanded also the presence of Rumania and Pugo-slavia. While the United States was not included among the eight countries to participate it is regarded as certain that a emere intimation from the American government that it desires to attend, even an an observer, will he followed by an instant invitation from the allies. In fact there is said to oe strong sentiment in certain quarters in favor of asking the United States to send a representative, but in view of American aloofness from European affairs it was decided not to take the initiative. -~Lorii ^tJoWooi M. PSincare and Cowni Sforza were in complete accord that there should be no war in the Near East, but Lord Curzon asserted Great Britain felt that the presence of a strong fleet in the straits was necessary to maintain freedom of passage. Admiral Lord Beatty of the British navy and Admiral Grasset of the French navy, reported on the military and naval situation in the Dardanelles. Admiral Beatty is believed to Lave said that freedom of the straits 11.1 hi> maintninp/l hv thp nnw While insisting on what they term their legitimate claims to eastern l hi ace, Adrianople and Constantinople, the Turks are understood to have infoiiiicd M. Poincare that they would consent to remain, masters of Asia Minor until the conference had given consideration to these other claims. French officials are confident tonight of a complete agreement witn lireat Britain when the allied meeting resumes on Friday, and It is freely predicted that the British troops will ;etire. On the other hand, late tonight, in reply to a question, it was outhoritatively stated in British quarters that the British troops were not in danger at Chanak, which gave rise to the report that they might remain there with the tacit approval of the Turks. Weather and Crop Conditions in S. C. Excepting .':;tcrmittcnt chowors and some locally heavy rains in the coast counties, the weather has continued dry, with abundant sunshine, becoming cooler toward the week end. All late crops in the interior show the effects of drought, and fall plowing has been materially retardtd, due to hard soil. Late com and late gardens are poor, especially up-state, where adequate rains have not fallen for a long time. Sweet potatoes, fall white potatoes and peanuts are in good con, dition generally, but would be im proved by rain. Large quantities ol good forage have been secured. Cotton is in poor productive condition and has steadily deteriorated, due to dry weather and weevil ravages; the top crop is practically destroyed, and large sized bolls in the intermediate crop have been punctured; the crop ii opening rapidly, and picking is well advanced. Good apples and grapes are being marketed, but good vegetables are becoming rather scarce Generous rains are needed for all late crops, except in sections of the coast counties. Richard H.

I HOLDING COTTON i IN WAREHOUSES Approximately 150,000 bales of cotton, a large percentage being long staple, has been carried thruogh the past summer by the state warehouse system and today this cotton is worth 1 easily $170 a bale, according to J. i Clifton Rivers, state warehouse commissioner. ! "The state system is growing and < increasing each day. We are taking ! in new warehouses every day " Mr. Rivers said yesterday. With the old ^ storage over the summer and the 1 new cotton coming in every day the state warehouses will soon be full, ' Mr. Rivers pointed out. "Every- 1 thing points to the present season be- ' ing the most prosperous the state sys- 1 tern has experienced in its history.' 1 the commissioner declared. "We have ' ihe best rate of insurance we have 1 ever had and the letters we are re- ' ceiving daily from people all over the ' sate assure those in charge the state * system is the most popular institution ' of our government?because it deals ' directly with those who produce, and f cares for the product in their own communities." ' I The Truth About Freemasonry ' (By William C. Lake, 32nd degree) ' Down through the ages from time ' immemorial has come to us this an- : cient and honorable order. It has J 'thrived and prospered in every coun- ' try and every clime and its votaries < are to he found in all parts of God's green earth. ' In darkest Africa where civiliza- ' tion has failed to penetrate, the prin- ' ciplcs of this order have been prac- 1 ticed by the inhabitants of the I jungles. i In the wigwams and on the hunting grounds of the redskin its cere- 1 monies have been witnessed by ihe i paleface. Its emblems have been carved in the frozen ice at the farthest point reached by the Arctic explorer by the promoters of the art. I It has been condemned and de- , nounced from the pulpits of the churches in our land. It has been thrown into national American politics and its principles and teachings denounced' L't>m the stump* throughout the country. | Denunciations have been issued from the Vatican with a view toward crushing the order. Kings and Queens have issued royal edicts forbidding the assemblies of its mem l-.ovc nmloi' nonnltv t\f dpnth nnft :i\l ihorizing the destruction of its property. Thousands of its members have been harrassed, persecuted, tormented and burned publicly at the stake on confessing any knowledge or con nection of the order. Its enemies have sought every means and put into execution every destructive act, word and deed known to the human mind to destroy and wipe out of existence this order. Despite all the reverses, all th? ravages of time and the attacks of its enemies it has stood the test, and it is with us today, great and good as the day it was founded. It will be handed down to posterity as the greatest fraternity. 'The Father of His Country," George Washington, was a devoted member of its art, and while president of the United States presided over its deliberations. And so the greatest and best men. in all ages, have been encouragers and promoters of the art. It appeals to the best in man, and helps to make him a better, nobler and honorable citizen. The best friend of the free public schools is Freemasonry.

EXPECT COTTON PRICES TO SOAR Cotton at 35 or 40 cents y pound before another year is "entirely within the bounds of reason," according: to J. Clifton Rivers, warehouse commissioner, in a statement issued yesterday. Mr. Rivers urges to farmers to go *low in olTering their cotton for sale us he expect a gain of from $25 t > ?50 a bale within a few weeks. In discussing the general situation, Mr. Rivers iru?d? tH?. nent: "Knowing: that it is not good policy to advise people concerning the fu- 14 ture prices of cotton, I have refrained so far this year from appear- > nig in the public prints, but condi j tions have forced themselves ujioii js, and in the face of a market steads ind strong, and with the sale of Texa:otton at the rate of ">0,0(H.? bales per lay, together with an industrial utuation, the like of which at marketing time the cotton belt has lever experienced, it is time for somebody to sit up and take notcv. "Cotton with all this tirade of - il ng and violent bearish circumstancelas remained steady at a price around 12 cents per pound; therefore, those who have studied the situation ar convinced that as soon as the suppl. egins to diminish and the industrial situation has a prospect of -ettlnir. # great deal higher prices tha it present will be realized for spo-. :otton. "It, therefore, behooves every farm. E*r who ha? *? hale of cotton to g.> slow in oifering it for sale, as a few weeks, in the opinion of ihe writer, will show a gain of $2.r> to $.r>0 per bale in the amount realized from such ' ale. Store your cotton in a state warehouse and get a receipt issued by the state and relieve yourselves t f your liabilities and watch your product increase in value shortly by ! aps and bounds, at a minimum cost. It is entirely within the bounds of reason to predict that, cotton will bring to 10 cents per pound before another year, and this Increase in value should be turned into the hands ri cne iarmers rather than into the hands of the cotton speculators. Sell ;ust as little cotton at present prices ast you possibly can and store an.l hold for a few weeks and realize the I rofit, which in my opinion and in the opinion of others who have studied the situation, will be a great increase over the present price."
