FIGHT ON TREATY IS SUSPENDED No Action in Seiiate Expected in Senate Before Christmas " - '' Washington. Dec. S.?Action by the senate on the Versailles peace treaty and the resolution of Senator Lodge, Republican* of Massachusetts, proposias to declare the war with - Gerinaay at an end .towight appeared improbable until after the ChMsfnias recess, scheduled to run fron* De cember 29 to January 5. Tfeet deadlock over procedure as to, the"; Versailles treaty apparently, has tiglhtene?: ..and Republican leaders agreed; to defer action temporarily on the Lodge resolution. Although a meeting of the foreign relations committee for Wednesday was arran ged. . Senate* Lodge said his resolu tion probably would await disposi tion by -the house of a similar pro posal. Senator Lodge and: Senator Hitch cook of Nebraska, administration leader, today indicated, complete dis agreement regarding further steps as to the -treaty. Tae former declared the next move must come from Pres MeaS Wils&n, while Senate^ Hitch cock with equal emphasis said the senate must act first. ? -'The treaty Is dead so far as the seuax* is c?ttcexaed; unless it. is re vived by the president," said Sena tor - Lodjge,. comiaaeptmg on Senator -Hitchcock's contention afid the pres-; ident'e statement to Mr; Hitchcock j that he has "shifted responsibility to other shoulders" and did not ean iemp^ate- withdrawal and resubmjs slon; of the--treaty. "The senate has gone as far as the parliamentary situation, permits," .the Massachusetts senator added- "Un less the president withdraws and re - sul?ahits .' ttye treaty, the senate, can take na ?arthfir action. The recent vote on reconsideration was final. The president, however, has,power to! with4raw the treaty and resubmit it j with or without suggestions." ^ .'"The senate itself is required to act j on. the treaty." said Mr. Hitchcock! "Under the constitution the presi-! dent is required to submit treaties to; the senate for disposition. He .has] done this: with the German treaty, j The senate has not acted finally nor disposed of iL It merely has re fused to adopt proposed amendments, reservations and three, resolutions of ratification. The treaty still is pend ing in the senate on the^lesk of the vice president and thie president is not required, to withdraw and resub- j mit it. The duty.of disposing of the] treaty still devolves itself upon the j senate without other action by the j president."' Senator Hitchcock reiterated his j opposition ta bringing the treaty he- 1 fore~the senate again, "to have it-kick ed around like a footbalF' before a compromise is reached.. Active "negotiations on "possible 1 ?com prom ife? reserva^ioHs^ it is ex- J pected, will be delayed until the sen- j ate convenes following the holidays, j Senator McXary, Oregon,, a leader in j The "mild reservation" group of Re- j .publican senators, returned today ) from ^Oregon, but Senator McCumber.

' A GUERNSEYS AT THE] LEE COUNTY FAERj Clemson College, Dee* 4.?The ex- J Dibit of Guernseys at the L*e County ] Fair was the best in tlie South this' year, according to D. D. Elliott. Ex tension Dairy Agent, who adds that.1 although there were not as many Guernseys at this Fair as there .were at the Chester County Fair, the ani mals at tho Lee County Fair were all in fine show condition. It is re markable that of the 56 Guernseys exhibited there was not an animal out Of condition. .. ! The exhibitors of these 56 excel-! lent dairy cattle were James Mclrt tosh> Dovesville; Albert James. Dar lington; E. B. McCutchen, Bishop-, ville; R. A. Smith, Lynchburg: W. M. Beil, .Harisville; W. B. Segars. Jr., BishopviUe,. . There was keen competition in ev ery class. Lb the ring of aged co\vs there were fourteen and this ring., says Mr. Elliott, would look good in any cattle show. There was such uniformity of merit that ir* took the judge some time to place the rib bons. Mr. James Robertson, of Burnside Farm. Eccleston. Md., one of the best Guernsey breeders and judges in the country, tied the rib bons. This splendid exhibit made it ap parent to all who- attended the- Fair; that there has been a rapid advance in Guernsey breeding irr this State, and much credit should be given to j the farmers of the eastern part of the tttate for this rapid development. The above statement from Clemson College is incomplete in listing the; names of exhibitors of Guernsey cat tie at the Lee County Fair in that Mr. RObert M. Cooper, of Wisaeky, wasj one of the prominent exhibitors. ? \ ? A Good Salary. ] London. Nov. 15.?J. H.

LAST WARNING TO GERMANY Supreme Council Hands Final Note lb Germans Parie, Dec. 8.?The supreme coun- j oil's notes dealing with the peace! treaty were delivered to Baron von Lersner, heart; of the German delega- i tkm? this evening. The first note denies the German j demands for modification of the treaty ! on the surrender of Germans charged I with crimes against international war- j fare and. the return of prisoners. -It i agreed-to -consider the* economic ef- j Sects* of tfce> indemnities retruired for1 the sinking of warships in the- Seapa j Flow on Germany in a spirir of OQuity j after a hearing by the reparations j commission. The; note warns Germany for the i last time that denunciation of the ar- ! mistice would give the allied armies: alt latitude for necessary milftary i m-easuresj-and affds: "In this spirit we ' await without defciy .signature of the nrotocpvt -and the- exchange of ratin-- j cations.'1 -Regarding the coercion clause of the. protocol the supreme council con- ; siders that signature of the protocol! and ratification will make the treaty j effective and thai the protocol's exec- j Ulive wiiP.be guaranteed- by the gen- i eral terms of the treaty and by ordi- i narily recognized methods. It re- \ jects the German's "pretended right" ! . to modification, of the treaty clause as j compensation for the absence of Am-; ericang for the commissions. It de clares that "it is vain for Germany to ' seek to delay" the treaty's effective- ! hess because of the position of*thej Americans with regard to the eom-1 mission! The second note deals entirely with the.; SCapa Flow incident. It places the responsibility of the Germans for ! the sinkings and sees in the protest j only ''an attempt difficult to explain, to de ray the treaty." The notes cities the secret message of the chief of the German admiral ry (Admiral von Trotha) to Admiral von Reuther, in command of the, Ger man crews of the Sea pa. Flow ships, dated May. telling him that the fleet s disposition "can not be decided without us, it will be finished by us ; and delivery to the enemy avoided." OFFICIAL DENIAL OF SUGAR REPORT No Heavy Shipments I.einjj Sent Abroad New York. Dee. 8.?Reports thai heavy shipment? of sugar were'being sent abroad by American refiners to gorge foreign consumers- and starve the American sugar consuming public have received such extensive circula tion thai, the equalization board was led today to issue an official denial of the report The board's statement says that the stocks of raw and refined sugar on hand hTe December 1 totaled 44,000 tons. There is due to arrive within the next few weeks an addition;* 1 2x. qoo tons. making' a total of 72,000 tons. Of this amount, the board as serts. 44,~000 tons belongs to the Brit ish government and was sent here from Cuba to be refined. "This sugar was bought." the state ment adds., "by the British royal com mission acting for France and Italy as well as for the United Kingdom last year in Cuba and comes to this coun try only to be refined. The only way in Which it affects is that it mftkes pos sible the use of American capital and j labor in refining English sugars." j Subtracting the amount ?>f sugar < sent to th<' royal commission and also i about 5.000 tons which refiners are to ship to various other countries on contracts which they entered into he fore July 1 of this year aud which i iltey have nor shipped owing.' to tin shortage here, there remains alum' 23,.0M ton? available for the domes- ; tic use of New Vork city and viacfity. | This i* in addition to the 50,ft00.000 | pounds of beet sugar being sent to j the eastern territory from the West.

He also charges that an enor | tnous amount of cotton sold in New j York for fall delivery at even lower I prices, also remains undelivered, i Credit Tor the predicament in i which he says the speculators find i .themselves is claimed for the Ameri can Cotton Association by Mr. Wan namaker. "*lt is conceded." he says /'that as a-result of work done by [the American Cotton Association that I the price of cotton is much higher ! today than it would have been had i the association not been formed. Here ' tofore the cotton crop has largely I been sold Jby the speculators before it j was produced. Tf the process were [below the prices which cotton was [.bringing in the fall of the year, com ! tunations were formed and prices beat j down so ?hat the speculators prae 11really controlled the market and the life toil of the producer was used as ja football by the gambler, j Today as. a result of the work of 'the American Cotton Association this I condition has been absolutely revers ! ed. The bear speculators find them ! selves unable to secure cotton to fill i their contracts. The strength of the ; cotton association was underestimat j ed by them and as a result they are :caught in a trap and for the first time j in sixty years have found it impos :*ible to extricate themselves by beaT ling down the price of cotton. For the ! first time the cotton producer is post ! ed, he is master of the situation. He 'realizes that paper cotton, that is cot \ r.on sold on the New York Exchange ; cannot be spun. i "More wr.rehouse5 have been built : in the Sout.i in the last five months ' than at any time since the war be tween the States. The cotton produc j er, after the war between the States first produced cotton on credit, in the way of merchandise advanced to him; I next he went a step further and se [.etrred a small amount of cash from the advance merchant nd all the ' while was beinpr urged to plant all the cotton possible, this being afl the credit he had. Next he pushed to a higher ground and succeeded in bor rowing a small amount from the bank for the making of his crop and then he went one round higher and was able to borrow money on his cotton stored in the warehouse. Today he must warehouse his cotton, arrange for the financing of it so that he will hold control of his cotton, until it reaches the hands of the manufactur : er, thus removing an army of unneces sary middlemen. *\At the meeting of the South Caro lina Rranoh of the American Cotton j Association plans were put into force and efe'ect. which will result in the ; erection of warehouse in each and 1 every county at the Siaie sufficient to hold the cotton produced therein, owned and controlled by the people ; of the county and operated under the '? State and federal warehouse act. i There was also organized a banking and export corporation wii !i a eapi ! tal of $2.000,000 to assist the local banks in the financing of the cotton ; crop and to effect direct sales of cot ton both foreign and domestic, thus j removing the middleman, which , means the saving of a tremendous I amount. ? "We need production, the world j needs to get busy. Old antiquated methods must be relegated to the scrap heap.
