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

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. ? \

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

'COTTON BEARS
CAUGHT IN TRAP

j Columbia. Dee. !?.?J. Skottowe
"Wan?amaker, president of the Amer

I statement made public here today
;t?tat contracts for around one million
Ibales of snort stnple cotton sold last
I spring J'or delivery this Tall ai from
25 t<> 2S cents a pound remain un

| 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. The producer must ro
' ceive for his product a price that will
