SENATE STRIKES AT SOUTH
ADOPTED SUTHERLAND AMEND
MENT TO ELECTION BILL.
Senator Bacon Blocks Proceedings

Georgian VIII Speak for Southern
Democrats Against Legislation
That Would Give Congress the
Right to Regulate Elections.
WAsHINGTON.-The Sutherland
amendment to the Borah resolution
for popular election of senator's was
adopted in the senate by a vote OF
SO to 81.
The Sutherland amendment gives
congress the right to regulate cleo
tons, including the right to prevent
southern states from interfering
with the right of suffrage.
The senate today agreed that on
Tuesday next, after the journal is
read, a vote shall be taken on the
resolution for the direct elections of
senators as amended today.
This amendment is aimed at
southern disfranchisement laws, and
allows congress to designate the
manner, time and places" of hold
ing elections for senators. 1t would
permit federal supervision of regis
trat1on lists, the canvassing of re-
turns, strikers at the polls and other
interference that southern senator's
are unwilling to tolerate.
Senator Bacon, upon the an
nouncement of the result, blocked
the proceedings by the statement
that he would oppose the Borah res
olution as amended, and desired to
submit on another occasion his rea-
sons for such action, which he will
do on Monday. He speaks for the
majority of the southern democrats.
They prefer the direct nominations
laws they now have to federal law
which contain such possibilities of
trouble.

OBJECT TO BATHING IN

SPARTANBURG, S. C.-Because
tne chief of the fire department
oathes his bull pups in the tub set
aside by the city for his men there
IS an awful row in the local fire
department which will demand a
speedy adjudication of some sort to

SHIPS SNOW SOUTH TO MELT.
Railroad Finds 1t Cheaper Than Haul
to Lake Michigan.

The Illinois Central Railroad has
found a novel way of helping Chi
cago get rid of some of it's snow. It
consists of filing southbound coal
cars with snow from it's yards and
shipping it south. Most of it melts
en- route.
What is left when the cars reach
their destination is shoveled out and
melts in a short time. AS the cars
are wanted in the south anyway the
scheme is cheaper than paying for
hauling snow to Lake Michigan.

Gil asking that they be removed.
This action was taken after a vain
attempt to have the chief act.
Another grave charge lodged
against the chief is that while en-
route to a fire the wagon has been
stopped to pick up a bull pup, thus
losing much valuable time.
