Washington, July 31.?Democratic senators, In u caucus tonight, voted to postpone action on the Immigration bill until the next session of congress, and adopted, 38 to 0, a resolution binding all Democratic senators to that decision. A resolution then was adopted. 32 to 7, pledging the ma? jority to vote down any attempt to at? tach the immigration measure to the child labor bill as a rider. The binding resolution, the first of ' hat nature imposed by a Democratic caucus for several years, was. put through by party leaders to whip Into lino a group of Southern senators, who had announced they would support an Immigration rider Including the liter? acy test section. In the hope' that President Wilson would veto It The seven senators who voted against the resolution pledging defeat of the immigration rider were Sena? tors Kankhead and Underwood, Ala? bama; Martin and Swanson, Virginia; Simmons and Overman, North Caro? lina, and Beckham, Kentucky. It stip? ulated that any amsndment Introduc? ing a subject not germane to child labor legislation should be tabled. Senator Overman declined to vote on the binding resolution. In voting to postpone action on im? migration until next session, a resolu? tion was adopted providing that If.. efforts failed to get an agreement in advance for a date to take It up ft" should become the first buslnesof the session in December. The question of considering immi? gration before adjournment .was briefly debated In the senate earlier In the day. nnd a motion by Senator PolBjenSBssr.

During discussion Senator Stone arraigned senators who he said were seeking to displace the senate's regular orders with matters purely po- ; litloaU and warned his colleagues that they might as well reserve their po* . lltical arguments for the stump be? cause tile newspapers would not prrne jfagm end thsy only would "slumber fff tVnV "congressional- record." Peirtl Jng t? the senate nreas gsllery Und ' tddroaslng himself to the correspond- j ents, he continued: [? "If you fellows exercise good judg- ( ment you wia use about a ftngerful of this political debate. If you use more, your editors probably will throw it, Into the waste basket." "Those fellows up there," he added, turning again to the senate, "when they hear us wrangling about these political arguments, merely go out? side and say to each other, The dogs eure barking again.'" H L?HES ACCEPTANCE SPEECH. Squarely Advocates Woman Suffrage? ; Speech Is Criticised by Cabinet Ofli Waahtngton, Aug. 1.?Hughes sur? prised the administration leaders by squarely declaring for woman suffrage In his acceptance speech. Wilson will not make any comment now. He Is ready to meet critlcms of his Mexican policy which was expected would be attacked privately. An official says that Hughes' advocacy of a foreign policy that would be more severe pleased Wilson, who is expect*-' to make his campaign on the slogan that hi kept the nation out of war. The cabinet discussed the speech. Burle sen says there Is not a gripping thing In It; a complete lay down. Gregory says Hughes failed to make an Issue out of Mexico because he failed to say what he would have done. McAdoo says tt Is very flimsy. He Has Kept the Faith. Columbia Record. The reports of the campaign meet? ing In Charleston say that Gov. Man? ning "received an ovation mingled with hisses." We suppose those hisses came from ministers and other refined and Intel? lectual citizens of Charleston. They did?NOT. Those hisses came from law-breakers or the sympathizer:! of law-breakers. In their eyes Mr. Manning would have been a hero had he permitted tho shameless practices of the past. Men of South Carolina, the governor of your State has been hissed by the creatures who have felt the heel of the law. You elected this man gov? ernor because he said he would en? force the law Now, what are you going to do ahout it? Bulgarian Troop Train Blown Up.

What Prominent South Carolina Men say of the Prompt and Satisfactory Methods of THE SOUTHERN STATES LIFE INSURANCE CO. John P. Cooper, President Merchants and Planters Bank, Mullins, S. C, Jan. 19,1916: "In the prompt handling of the claim on the policy held by the late Geo. P. Pittman, you have shown additional proof of your efficient and careful business methods . . . We know of no company that approaches what you do in putting back into each section a large part of the money it receives in premiums.1 Mrs. Mattie R. Gerald, beneficiency under policy held by Charles K. Gerald, Mullins, S. C, March 21, 1916: 'Tour company has certainly exhibited a high order of service in connection with policies to the extent of $9,000 on the life of the late Chas. K. Gerald . . . The laberal treatment which you have accorded has been of great service to us and the payment of the claim whthout delay or technicalities has indicated the keenest appreciation on your part of all your du? ties in connection with the people who do business with you." ). No Other Company Can give such prompt service. Maintaining large deposits in each community in which it operates. The Southern States is able to pay claims much more quickly than others. In practically every case where this company has been on a risk with others it has been first to pay. The money of this company left in local banks, goes into the development of the communities in which it operates. Its officers are constantly planning how best to serve the people of the South. In testimony of the esteem of South Carolina citizens two of them have bought recently poli? cies for $150,000 and $100,000 respectively. We want to extend to the people of Sumter and surrounding territory the same good service that has so pleased others. a-i ll Home Office: ATLANTA, GA. GEO. D.
