SUFFRAGE gILL OEFEITED. SENATE VOTES AGAINST WOMAS i SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT. Susan B. Anthony Federal Amend ment Resolution Defeated by Up 'p^'Hbuse Body After Five Days ol BJtteft Debate and Personal Appeal for fis "Passage by President Wil son, Two Votes Short of Necessarj Two-Thirds Majority. Washington, Oct. 1.?The senate today refused to grant the request 61 the President that the vornan suffrage - resolution be passed as a war meas ure. After five days of bitter debate, corridor conferences and cloak room negotiations,- the Susan Anthony federal amendment resolution enacted by the house last January recived on the final roll call, two. votes less than "3te necessary two-thirds majority. ESty-fonr senators were recorded for it and 30 against it, 12 absent and paired. Before the vote was announced Senator Jones of New Mexico, chair man of the woman suffrage commit tee, to . comply with parliamentary requirements changed his vote from fhte afibrmative to the negative, and ? moved.-that the senate reconsider. This made the final official record 53 to .31 and left the resolution technical ly pending on the senate calendar, in position for further consideration planned after the November elections, when suffrage forces hope to muster the required number of votes. President Wilson's personal ad dress to the senators yesterday so supplemented by letters today to Several Democratic senators opposed to the- resolution did not change a single vote, although in the final de bate some senators asserted that de feat of the resolution would mean repudiation of the executive. In cluding the absent and paired sena tors, the roll call showed that the senate line up of 62 to 34 on the - res olution^'remained virtually unchanged from tile beginning of the fight last Thursday. Chairman Jones and other cham pions of the' resolution declared after today's vote that the defeat is only fetnporary, and that the contest will be renewed after November elections when changes in membership are certain. Administration leaders also admitted that the vote was the first important reverse President Wilson has met in advocacy of what he has declared to be essential war measures. /The official record of the vote to day,.' after Chairman Jones' change follows: v Democrats for: Ashurst, Chamber fein,* Culberson, Gerry, Gore, Hender son,.

Washington, Sept. 30.?Reports of the progress of the fourth liberty loan received tonight at the treasury were encouraging, but were not sup ported by definite sales figures, and officials said it would be about two days % before official totals are avail able from any federal reserve dis trict, or for the entire country. Ap parently the flood of subscriptions in the first two days came mainly from big bv. .xiess interests in iarge coun ties aid better showing is expected in the week as a result of smaller pop 1 ular pledges. From Baltimore came word that more than $40,000,000 had been sub scribed or more than was raised dur ing the whole third loan. The second day's business in New York was good, but pledges supported by the initial payments represented only a small part of the subscriptions actually gathered in. There, as elsewhere, official cognizance will be taken of subscriptions only after 10 per cent has been paid into the banks and re ported to federal reserve district headquarters. South Doing Well. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 30.?Hundreds of counties in the Sixth federal re serve district expect to subscribe their quotas before the end of the first week's campaign for the fourth lib erty loan, according to reports reach ing headquarters today.

Pisgah, Oct. 1.?The gin pressure is surely acute. It takes about twe >r three days to get a bale ginned and most of people have no* time to i waste that way. Cotton picking is. going on at a rapid rate and will soon be all pick ed. One dollar per hundred is paid. The pickers are reaping -a money iarvest but they spend it as fast as :hCy make it. Mostly in wasteful liv .ng. The request of the president to con serve gasoline is not observed here judging from the many cars run ning. I see no decrease in running. -Sunday is frolic day which continues until the small wee hours of Mon Jay morning. Emperor William of Germany must he insane or he could see the bitter "utility of continuing a warfare to the injury of his people and make peace erms in the best way he could. Lee *aw the uselessness of continuing the struggle and made the best terms he could with Grant, which was honor tele to both sides. Grant certainly was magnanimous to the South in the erms of surrender. .Pisgah church last Sunday extehd ?d a unanimous call to Rev. F. A. Liles for another year with an in 1 crease of salary, a third over last year. This church always pays in full its promises. The negro boy who was recently ;hot at Boykins by another is dead The difficulty was about a girl, anC he result is one dead and another .vill probably go to the chain gang or o the penitentiary for life. No fall gardens, but we have peas ind potatoes. Poultry raising would bring big money and many of our voung laaie-j could make a success of it. A Miss Troublefield and a Mr. Hancock, of Spring Hill, were mar ried last Friday evening at the resi dence of Rev. J. Walter Kenny and by him. News from some of the soldier ?oys is that they will remain in France after the war, help build up the waste places, marry the prett\ French girls and settle down. Orange blossoms seem to have folded their petals until after the war when they will bloom rapidly, j The American people are proud of | their women and have a just right to be so.

PRICE OF WHEAT AGITATED. Immediate Action Will be Urged on President. , Washington, Oct. 1.?Senators and representatives from wheat growine States and officials of the national Wheat Growers' Association in con ference here tonight decided to ap point a special committee to urge up on President Wilson immediate ac tion fixing the price of wheat for 1919 at $2.50 a bushel. The president will be told that this price is necessary for the protection of most wheat growers over the country who under the present price of $2.20 a bushel plus the freight! differential will not be able to raise wheat at a profit. Appointment of a special commit tee to investigate the cost of wheat production also will be requested, it was announced, but in the meantime an increase will be sought. Dr. William J. Spillman, chief of the office of farm management of the department of agriculture, presented to the conference tonight figures com piled by his office to show that a price of $2.50 a bushel is essential if the maximum production is to be at tained next year. Speakers insisted that the president has been misin formed as to the increased cost of flour that would result from $2.50 wheat. They said the added cost of a barrel of flour would be 90 cents instead of the $2 estimated. In vetoing the agricultural appro priation bill recently because of the Gore amendment, the president said the proposed increase would cause disruption of economic conditions not alone in the United States but in the allied countries. Congress last week passed the bill again with the wheat price amendment eliminated. CHOLERA LN VIENNA. Official Report Reaches Spain of Outbreak of Plague.

THERE MUST BE NO LET UP IN LIBERTY LO * DRIVE. Six Billions to be K.?.sed Will Have Been Spent Before Reaching the Treasury. Washington, Oct 2.?President Wilson and other officials feel that the American people must exercise caution lest the good news from the battle fronts cause a relaxation of ef fort on behalf of the Fourth Liberty loan. Thus far no tendency has been no ticeable and the campaign has been going with an enthusiasm comparable to that with which the battle reports j have been received. . It is pointed out that now that vic tory is definitely being brought to1 the ; side of the allied armies funds and more funds are needed to enable the fighting men to press home their hard won advantage and hurl the German hordes beyond the Rhine. Secretary McAdoo is understood to have determined to ? have speakers emphasize this point continuously un til the huge $6,000,000,00 total is raised. Official reports today from all fed eral reserve districts, except Kansas City, ? which has not started taking subscriptions, showed $411,142,050 pledges actually received and accom panied by payments of the 10 per cent initial installment. In order to raise $6,000,000,000 it would be necessary to get daily av erage of $215,000,000 and at this re quired rate approximately $1,000, 000,000 should have been subscribed by this time. Report of sales by districts were as follows: Boston $67,158,150, New York, $139,418,500, Philadelphia $23,077, S00, Cleveland $16,213,500, Richmond $14,158,750, Atlanta $1,674,800, Chi cago $27,052,750, St. Louis $60,970, 950 Minneapolis $18,648,000, Dallas $4,825,450, San Francisco $37,955, 950.
