FIFTY MILLION MORTGAGE.
Recorded by Clerk Of CourS SaHey-
Another Big One.
j. M. Hughes,
Secretary.

Another Big One.
Several days ago Clerk OF Court
salley recorded a mortgage for $780,
100000. The mortgage vas given
by the Southern Bell Telephone Co.,
to the Bankers Trust Co., OF New
York. The mortgage will cover the
improvements made in the Southern
Bell system recently. AS This mort
gage has to be recorded in every
county where the telephone company
does business at a cost Of about S6o'
it can easily be seen that The South
ern Bell Telephone Co., must spend
an immense amount in having the
mortgage recorded alone.
Speaking OF this mortgage, Whlcn
is of course, unusually large, caused
Clerk of Court salley to look back IN
his books and it was found that a
5000, 100000 mortgage was fled IN
the latter part of 1909. 1t was given
by the Atlantic Coast Line Railway
Co. to the United States Trust Co.,
and is the largest mortgage ever filed
in Orangeburg county.

With view of insuring the widest
publicity of all expenditures of can
didates for congress, the senate com,
mittee on privileges and elections will
complete amendments to the house
bill on this subject which will vastly
broaden the proposed law. Much diff
ticulty is being experienced In finding
terms which will express the commit
tees purpose. 1t is proposed to make
the law applicable to primary as well
as regular elections. Individual ac.
counting will be required.
Canvas OF the senate indicated that
President Taft would win the Cana
dian reciprocity fight and hat the
Root amendment tackled on to the
proposed pact by the finance commit
tee would be killed in the senate. "A
poll OF the situation, 1t was said. now
shows that very large mapority OF
senators are with the president In his
stand against an amendment and that
the bin will ultimately be agreed to
in the form in which it passed the
house. The Democrats, with but few
exceptions, win support it.
Abandoning hope OF defeating In
committee the Root amendment to the
Canadian reciprocity bill, auecting the
print paper and wool pulp clause OF
the agreement, friends Of the measure
began on the floor OF the senate an
active campaign to prevent acceptance
OF the Root provision. The senate
showed anxiety over the situation
when. after an executive session OF

pealed to the Democratic senators to

UNITED STATES SENATE VOTES
IN FAVOR or ELECTION BY
THE PEOPLE.
GOVERNMENT SUPERVISION
All Southern Democrats But One
Voted Against Adopting the
Resolution.

Washington.-Th senate adopted
the resolution proposing change in
the Federal Constitution to provide for
direct election of senators, after tie
vote Of IA to Al on the Bristow reso.
luton had been broken by Vice Pres
ident Sherman, who voted in the ar
frmative. This action came follow
ing nine hours of debate.
The vote on the final adoption of
the resolution, which the Bristow
amendment tackled on, was GA to "a.
This was five votes more than the
two-thirds required for its adoption.
All the Southern Democrats with
exception Of Senator Clarke oil Arkan-
sas, voted against the Bristow amend
ment, Which was practically Identical
with the Sutherland amendment intro
drced at the last session. 1t proposes
to lodge in congress control over the
time, places and manner" Of elect
ing senators. This the Southern mem
bers opposed, saying it would lead to
Federal supervisors, registrars, judges
of election and even troops at the
polls.
The action by the senate was the
first time in a quarter Of a century
during which this subject has been
agitated that the upper house has
agreed to the direct election of sena-
tors. The resolution will have to go
back to the house for concurrence In
the senate amendment, and must then
be ratified by three-fourths of the
states before it becomes effective as
a part Of the Constitution.
The resolution, as amended and
passed, follows
THAT in lieu Of the first paragraph
Of Section III of Article ! Of the Con-
stitution Of the United States. and in
lieu of so much OF paragraph 2 of the
same sections as relates to the filling
of vacancies, the following be propos-
ed as an amendment to the Constitu-
ton which shall be valid to all In
tents and purposes as part of the Con-
stitution when ratified by the legisla-
lures of three-fourths of the states:
The senate of the United States
shall be composed Of two senators
from each state, elected by the people
thereof for six years and each sena-
tor shall have one vote. The electors
in each state shall have the qualifica-
tions requisite for electors Of the most
numerous branch Of the state legisla-
lures.
When vacancies happen in the rep
resentation of any state in the senate,
the executive authority of such state
shall issue writs of election to fill such
vacancies, provided, that the legisla-
ture of any state may empower the
executive thereof to make temporary
appointments until the people fill the
vacancies by election as the legisla-
ture may direct.
This amendment shall not be so
construed as to affect the election or
term of any senator chosen before it
becomes valid as part of the Constitu-
ton"

the highest price ever paid on the
Houston exchange for bale of cot
ton. S. Jesse Jones, who is not in
