SUMTER

Livingston, May 9.-(Special. )-Aithough the total vote for the county is not avail able early Wednesday morning it is cer- tain that Ed Smith will carry this county ny good majority. The county went for Rushton, Denson, Carmichael and White for delegates, and it is probable that Henry F. Merritt will carry the county With Kennedy second. Knight and Pel- ham are leading for the court of appeals with the third place undecided. A unique feature of the county election was the victory of T. o. Vaughan over J. w. Wallace for tax assessor. With five men in the race Vaughan had a majority of one vote after the first and second choice votes cast for himself and Wallace had been totaled.

should not be within the power of fiji
 bustering minority permanently to pre- vent any legislation it might desire to
 prevent.
 Nevertheless, cloture other than an
 extremely modified cloture is repugnant,
 admittedly so. to many members of the Senate Southerners recall that Senator
 Morgan, by continuous speech, to all prac-
 ticai effects. defeated the force bill which
 would have put federal bayonets behind negroes in their effort to gain control of
 the south.
 The rules committee of the senate,
 urged it is regarded as certain by the administration, has reported a modified cloture and insisted on it's adoption. The
 modified cloture provides that any l6 members of the Senate may petition the
 Senate in writing that debate on any
 given measure be closed at time set. The petition would not be debatable, and if supported by two-thirds vote would be in effect Whereon, each senator
 would be limited to one hours debate on
 the measure pending and it's amend
 ments.
 Under this rule filibuster which vir-
 tlally killed the ship purchase bill last
 session would be impossible. It is said
 to be probable that the modified cloture
 reported was suggested because of the
 early COT sideration of the new ship pur-
 chase bill.
 Washington, May 9-(Special. )--Declar-
 ing that there is 8 basis of justice in the
 German complaint that the government of
 the ur.ted States has been less insis-
 tent that England be just and more in sistent that Germany be just, the Wash ington Post this morning editorially Gin partl says:
 Unfortunately there is basis of jus tice in the German reproaches on account os the delay in calling England to ac- count. The last note of the United States to England was dated November 5, 1915,
 aud it was not answered for six months and then the answer was a polite refusal to grant justice to this country. There is no suggestion that the United States will follow up it's protest by threatening to break off diplomatic relations. Yet the violations of American rights by Great , Britain are as patent as the submarine issue, and the instances of deliberate mis- treatment of neutrals are 20 times as
 numerous.
 There has been plenty of time for the United States to bring England to ac- connt. without impairing the vigor of the | demands upon Germany Who doubts that l if the United States had insisted upon | observance of the law by Great Britain Germany would have been unable to urge that this country was discriminating be- tween belliserents? Is it not possible that the note from Germany would have beer written with less acerbity and would have been more clear in it's guarantees if the German government and people had beer convinced that the United States was de. ternined to compel Great Britain to con l duct it's sea warfare according to law? Since the only object of note- writing t) either Germany or Great Britain is to obtain pledges, that American rights shal no longer be violated 1t seems unfos- l tUpate that one of these belligerents has been able to point out that it has met l with rigorous demands for immediate ac-
 tion, while it's enemy has not been SC treated.
