SENATE H|L|BUSTER
BLOCKS PRESIDENT
WILSON'S HANDS TIED IN CRISIS
BY TACTICS OF THIRTEEN
SENATOR'S.

The filibuster in the United States
senate against the bill to permit Pres
ident Wilson to arm American ships
and take such other steps as he
might deem necessaryto protect Amer
lean property and lives, was fought
through to the bitter end. defeating
the legislation sought by the presi-
dent and tying up scores of other i'm
portant measures that would have
been passed except for the filibuster.
The senate adjourned Sunday noon
with a record of the will of the ma
jority completely thwarted by the
tilibustering of small minority.
For 26 hours of continuous session
Senators LaFollett. Republican, and
Stone, Democrat, and their small
group of supporters stood unyielding
to appeals that their defiance of the
president would be humiliating to
the country and refused a majority of
opportunity to vote on the armed
neutrality bill, and it died with the
Sixty-fourth congress at noon.
To fix responsibility before the
country, IS senators, 80 Republicans
and 46 Democrats, signed manifesto
proclaiming to the world that they
favored passage Of the measure.
Jones Hedges on Showdown.
Senator Jones of Washington, one
of the 80 Republicans who signed the
manifesto, did so with what the ma
jority said were impossible qualifica-
tons. He waited until the last mo-
ment. He added to his signature the
statement that he would vote for the
bill with the Stone, Cummins and Nc
Cumber amendments, which would
have absolutely nullified the purpose
of the bill. So he tried to "play both
ends to the middle"
The manifesto, which was read into
the records of the senate during the
closing hours, declared:
"The undersigned United States
senators favor the passage of senate
bill 1922 to authorize the president
of the United States to arm American
merchant vessels. A similar bill
already has passed the house of rep
resentatives BY a vote of 403 to ID.
Under the rules of the senate allow
ing unlimited debate it now appears
to be impossible to obtain vote
prior to noon, March 4, 1917, when
the session of congress expires.
I'VE desire the statement entered
in the record to establish the fact
that the senate favors the legislation
and would pass it If vote could be
obtained"
Those Who Opposed.
Thirteen senators declined to sign,
but Senator Penrose, Republican, Of
Pennsylvania, announced he would
have voted for the bill had opportu-
nifty been afforded him. The men
who went on record with the Is men,
bers of the house against granting to
President Wilson the authority he
asked from congress in the crisis
were:
Republicans - Clapp, Minnesota;
Cummins, Iowa; Gronna, North Da-
kota; Kenyon, Iowa; LaFollette, Wis
consin; Norris, Nebraska; Works.
California.
Democrats - Kirby, Arkansas;
Lane, Oregon; O'Gorman, New York;

Fire Thursday Morning De-
troys Block, Entailing
$1,000 Damage.

Fire this morning destroyed
the block of brick buildings in
Hamlet, on Railroad avenue, near
ly opposite the Seaboard hotel.
The estimated damage is $1,000,
with about $4,000 insurance.
The fire originated at nine
o'clock in a pile of wood to the
rear of Mudd's barber shop, and
quickly spread throughout the
livery stable of R. E. Hinson and
adjoining stable of M. R. Sharpe.
Hinson lost two horses and a
Hudson Super Six, besides feed
and material, and Sharpe is said
to have lost a horse and feed and
material Fortunately, the slight
wind was blowing from a direc-
ton that prevented a worse con-
flagration.

SALUTATORY.

The Star Theatre wishes to
extend to their patrons an appre-
citation of their patronizing spirit
IN the past year, and hopes they
will continue it in the coming
year.
The high prices on everything
has forced The Star Theatre to
increase the admission fee from
ten cents to fifteen cents and
from five cents to ten cents for
minors, which is a very small
increase according to the in
crease in other things.
Our prosperous peace loving
country is at WAR with an al
most impregnable country: Ger
many. War pictures will be
made from the scenes of this
great struggle, and as they are
released The Star Theatre will
secure them and give you the
benefit of the early released pic
lures.
We will assure you that the
pictures shown here in the future
will be as good if not better than
those shown here in the past be-
cause we have an indefinite
number of pictures booked from
Corporations.
A great number of theatres
have closed down for the winter
on account of the lack of coal.
but we are positive we can give
you a warm and comfortable
house at every performance.
1t becomes the duty of a thea
re which serves the public to
,xtend to the public a wish. The
star Theatre wishes the public
| prosperous New Year and
lopes that they will continue to
ayor the above named THEA.

lave always done in the past.

Don't Wear Army Shoes.

The chairman of the Richmond
county Council of Defense. B,
T. Payne, has received the follow.
ing communication from the
State chairman, which is self ex.
planatory:
my dear Sir:
The Government
has urgent need for all the shoes
known as Army Shoes" AS
soon as a new draft is called, there
will be still more urgent demand
tor these shoes. Some of these
shoes are being offered and sold
to civilians, without either seller
or buyer knowing that it is
against the law for any dealer to
sell to a civilian any article of a
soldiers or sailors uniform. AS
our soldiers will need these shoes.
we feel assured that as soon as
our dealers know the circum-
stances, they will not injure the
soldiers or violate the the law by
selling such shoes to any but en-
listed men.
Please communicate with the
shoe dealers in your county, and
ask them to remember the hard
ships of our soldiers, and hence
to aid them in every way possible
and at the same time observe the
law"

VETERANS PENSIONS
Pension Money Distributed
Richmond County Pensioers.

There are SO Confederate pen
sloners on the Richmond county
roll, and Clerk of the Court J. A.
McAulay has distributed the
proper amounts to these worthy
veterans and widows of veterans.
The total amount sent this year
is $4,000.
The amount paid last year was
$32 to veterans and widows of
the 4th class, and $50 to the End
class. The last legislature in
creased this amount to $45 for
the 4th class and SIS for the End.
This amount will be a most &C.
ceptable and needed Christmas
present for the recipient, and the
pity is that these survivors of the
Lost Cause can not be given an
even larger pension.
Two pensioners, Thos. B. Gov
ington and Mrs. Martha Davis,
were added to the list this year.
The Richmond county board
of pensions is composed of
~
Stephen Wall, chairman, A. B.

tary.

Birds Help Farmers.

Birds are almost as busy as bees,
and their work in increasing crop
yields is highly important, says the
Firesade. One Of the cheapest and
most effective ways to fight insect pests
that annually take crop toll estimated
at 100000 Is to aid in the preser-
walton Of bird life. Such worms and
bugs as infest our gardens are favorite
food for bluebirds. robins and many
other kinds Of birds. Birds also eat
thousands of weed seeds.
