rights, that I am not an Americana"
Mr.. Cooper declared that the Ger
man government never had promised
unqualifedly to abandon its subma-
rine warfare. Representative Flood
made loud demands to be heard, but
Cooper would not yield.
Mr.. Cooper closed with the declara-
ton that while all would stand united
when war comes, he would not be one
to vote to plunge the country into
war.
Britten Has Amendment.
Representative Britten, Illinois, re-
publican, declared he was not paci-
fist in any sense, but was opposed to
the resolution. Some democrats. he
said, had told him they were opposed
to the resolution, but would vote for
it. Representative Harrison OF Mis-
sissippi and Representative Hefin of
Alabama, democrats, called for names
of such democrats and Britten re-
piled by declaring rs per cent of the
democratic members were really per-
sonally not in favor of it and that 90
per cent Of the people of the country
were against going to war.
Britten had read an amendment he
said The would later offer, providing
that no part of the military forces of
the United States should be ordered
to do land duty in Europe until so
directed by congress. This aroused
applause from small number on
both the republican and democratic
sides.
Interest in the debate waned and
by 1:30 o'clock less than seventy-hve
members were on the floor.

From a STAFF Correspondent

Washington, April 5.-(Special Tel
gram. )-Rancor and bitterness ran
high in the senate today over the war
resolution introduced by Senator
Martin of Virginia. Senator Norris
and Senator Reed of Missouri had a
colloqy that may be historic. Senator
Norris asserted, during speech of
probably thirty minutes in length,
that" we are about to put the dollar
mark ON the American flag" The
abruptness Of the charge brought
every senator to attention and the
issue was joined. Senator Reed jump
ing to his feet said: .--..
"If this is not giving aid and COM
fort to the enemies of our country !
don't know what would give aid or
comfort to Hapsburg and Hohen-
zolhern." ...-
He said in substance that the utter
ance Of the senator from Nebraska
was reasonable in that it reflected
upon the president.
This Senator Norris denied most
emphatically, insisting that his asser-
ton about putting the dollar mark on
the flag in nowise reflected upon the
president.
Senator Pomerene o. Ohio shouted

said, would join with him.
A broad smile possessed the face
OF Senator La Toilette, who sat in
the rear of the chamber. He opposed
the resolution in the senate.
Mr.. Kitchin said he was not sure
that the United States put in the
same situation that Germany is in
with respect to its European enemies

tions OF neutrality that Germany has
been guilty Of. .,., ~.

.RosENTHAL COMPANY, AT
HOME AGAIN.

w. P. Boyd, buyer for the J. Rosen-
thai Company, has returned from Gin
cinnati, where he has been for the,
past three weeks buying goods for his
store.
Mr.. Boyd, in talking of the condi-
tions in the great Ohio metropolis,
said that while things were mighty
high. there was a vast amount of bust
ness going on. The town ii of
Southern byers, and all trains song
out are loaded to the guard -.
1.-THE greatest trouble that we peo-
pie of the South are going to have"
said Mr.. Boyd, sis getting our heavy
goods shipped to us. Practically all
of the light goods will have to come
by express, to. insure its delivery
promptly, this of course, will make
the cost great deal heavier to the
merchant.
II had to pay twenty cents apiece
for every Irish potato with which
was served, and twenty-five cents for
1.-TWO eggs" said Mr.. Boyd when asked
about food conditions. There is plen-
ty of food stuffs, but everything is out
of sight. Steaks that we used to get
for thirty cents are now costing sixty
cents.
There is one thing that l regret
very much to state Is true with the
people in the East and that we are
wholly lacking in and that is patriot
ism. At all the picture shows, pic
lures of President Wilson, Old Glory
and our warships are displayed, and
whenever they are the orchestra will
play 1.-THE Star Spangled Banner" or

will rise, and when Wilson's picture
| is shown there is an applause that
goes up that is inspiring to the soul
of every American. They are all for
Wilson, no matter what he does.
| Eyes, I bought heavily for my
store" said Mr. Boyd in concluding
his remarks and I believe have
bought the best stock Of goods that
have ever purchased before. did moi
buy unfortunately, but tried tc

Atlanta, Feb. 23-Attorney John
R. Cooper today appeared before the
governor to argue his application for
parole for Milton Rawlings, the last
of the trio convicted of the murder
of the little Carter children. The
prison commission recently sent down
a recommendation of parole for the
applicant.
When the fact was cited to Gov
ernor Harris that the prison commits.
sion had unanimously made the rec
ommendation, and this unaninity
was used as an argumnet in behalf
of the requested action, the governor
sprung a surprise in the case by citing
the parole act to show that no parole
can be granted until the recommends
