ANTI-JIM CROW CAR
MOVE IS DEFEATED
INTRODUCED BY REPRESENTA-.
TIVE MADDEN, OF ILLINOIS.
COUNT STANDS l42 TO IL
South Carolina Man Tells House That
South Carolina Handles Own
Race Problems.

Washington, Nov. 15.-Southern
congressman today routed all at
tempts to attach to the pending rail-
road bill in the house any provision
to infringe the rights of the South
ern States to "Jim Crow" cars. In
their fight they were aided by mem
bers from other parts of the country.
BY a vote of 142 to IL a proposed
amendment by Representative Mad
den, Republican, Of Illinois, was vot-
ed down and out of the measure.
Southern members in unison at
tackled the proposal, telling the house
that it would disturb conditions in
the South seriously and cause fric-
tion between the races, which might
end in bloodshed. This is not a
proper question to be raised at this
time" Representative Snyder, Repub-
lican, of New York, told the house.
mo demand is made for it by the
colored people, and we already have
enough difficulties without bringing
on this one. The North does not rea-
lie what it means to the people of
the South"
Representative Crisp, Democrat, of
Georgia, brought the debate to an end
with a motion to strike out the pro-
posed amendment, and his motion
prevailed.
Somewhere down the line there
will come reckoning" Representa-
tive Summers. of Texas, told the
house, warning it against the pro-
posal.
1T is a bad situation down there,
and unless you permit us to draw the
line somewhere there will be fric-
tion. If that should come then you
must take the responsibility for this
proposal
Representative Stevenson, of
South Carolina, told the house the
South handled it's negro problem bet
ter than the North, as was evidenced
by the recent race riots, and Repre-
sentative Moore, of Virginia, remind
ed the members that the Supreme
Court of the United States has sus-
tanned the rights of the States to pro-
vide separate accommodations for the
races on trains.

flected in Conditions.
= Washington, Nov. 16.-Compliance
by the people with provisions of the
prohibition enforcement act, during
the first two weeks of it's life, was re-
ported today by Commissioner Roper
of the bureau of internal revenue.
"My confidence in the desire of the
American people to observe the law
is being fully justified Commission
er Roper said. "The law breaking
element is small and growing less"
The recent appeal to all moral
agencies to support the government
and aid in the laws enforcement, the
commissioner declared, had brought
real assistance from every quarter"
Mr.. Roper made public a report
from the collector Of one important
district which illustrates conditions,
he said. This showed little violation
of the law and set forth that the
liquor dealers associations which
had pledged heavy support to the law
and the press had been helpful fact

In 1916 it was conclusively proven
that crop of peanuts was very valu'
able, and this negro family was ad-
vised by one of the G. family to
plant this crop in 1917, the money
for seed peanuts being advanced by
the estate of G..
In the fall of 1917, about month
or six weeks after the picking OF
peanuts had> generally commenced
the old colored nanny and her three
sons came riding into Enterprise in
brand new Ford, with a grip full OF
green backs and silver, obtained by
selling a part of their peanuts. Co
ing to Mr.. G. they told him that they
had come to pay something on their
mortgage. They did not know ex-
actly how much money was in the
grip, 80 Mr.. G.. counted it for them.
It was found that they had enough
to pay up the s2,300.00 mortgage
that was over their farm, and had
some two or three hundred dollars
over. Mr.. G.. advised them to put
this money on the balance he thought
due on the Ford, but the old mamms
soon set him straight by saying,
please Gawd, Master, we done pay

sensation, and particularly so when it
was discovered that between them

had about two thousand bushels OF
peanuts to sell.

ward by State Department
at Washington.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Large ord
ers for arms and ammunition, placed
by Mexico in Belgium and Spain, in
preparation for the possibility OF
American Intervention, came to light
today when the state department let
it become known that the govern
ment had taken steps to prevent their
shipment.
The charge d'affairs of the United
States embassy in Brussels has pro-
tested, under instructions, that ship
ment of the munitions would be in
violation of the international arms
convention. AS Spain is, not a party
to the agreement which was designed
to aid in the keeping the peace Of the
world during and after the war trans
ition period, no such direct action is
probable at Madrid.
The order in Belgium was placed
with the Fabrique Rationale D'Arms
at Liege, probably under the direction
of Candido Aguilar, Mexico minister
OF foreign affairs, and President Car
ranza's son-in-law, who went to Eu-
rope recently after stopping here and
placing a wreath on George Washing
toms tomb at Mount Vernon:
The orders in Spain which included
rifles, millions of rounds of ammuni-
ton and large number Of machine
guns, were negotiated through the
Mexican minister there, Elezeo Are
dondo, former ambassador to the
United States and President Carran-
sa's nephew.
Shipment Began Year Ago.
The Spanish munitions, according
to Information in the hands of the
government began passing into Mexi-
co more than year ago while the
European war still was going on and
In violation of the inter-allied embar-
20. Rifles and ammunition and some
sample machine guns are reported to
have passed Habana on their way to
Mexico as late as June of this year.
For later shipments, cargo space had
been reserved for October 10, on Hol-
land-American line steamers sailing
out Of Antwerp, and further space
had been reserved for Tampico, Vera
Cruz and Puerto Mexico on December
2.
The United States has been denying
shipments of arms and ammunition
into Mexico for many months for the
reason that they generally fell into
the hands Of Of bandits and often
we're used aginst Americans. Soon
after the end of the war the Mexican
government asked for the release OF
munitions bought in this country In
1917 but it was refused.

PRINCE DELIVERS MEDALS.
South Carolina War Heroes Among
Number Honored.

Washington, Nov. 13.-1n' the
presence of diplomatic Washington
and many persons in high social and
political life in this country and 9TH
ers, the Prince of Wales this morn
ing delivered more than 80 decora-
tions for bravery in the war to va
rious members of the army and NAVY
who performed herois service one way
or another.
The presentations of the decora-
tions and crosses was at the home OF
Perry Belmont, one of the palatia1
mansions of the national capital.
There in the large rooms Of this ele-
CANT home the prince performed the
ceremony which doubtless for many
years to come will be remembered by
those who were fortunate enough to
be present.
The list of those to participate in
this ceremony is a long one, but
South Carolinians will be interested
in her own men men more than any
others. Capt. Elliott W. Springs, of
Lancaster, who made an enviable
record in the aviation service for him
self and for his country, received the
distinguished flying cross.
Besides Captain Springs, the fol-
lowing South Carolinians received
meritorious medals: W. S. Fore, of
Union, w. H. Minis, of Fort Mill, l..
r. w. Smith, of Cades. G. W. Batson,
Of Greenville.

PRESIDENT MAY
REJECT TREATY
SENATE ADOPTS ARTICLE TEN
RESERVATION.
G.. 0. P. VOTES SOLID.
Proposals Differs Only Slightly From
G.. 0. P. VOTES SOLID.
Proposals Differs Only Slightly From
One Which Executive Declared He
Would Regard as Rejection.

washington, NOV. lo.-OqudIely
joining the issue with President Will
son, the senate adopted today a reser-
vation qualifying the obligations OF
the United States under Article 10 OF
the league of nations covenant.
A solid Republican lineup reinforc-
ed by four Democrat voters put the
reservation exactly as it came from
the foreign relations committee and
in virtually the language which the
president declared on his Western
tour would cut out the heart of the
covenant and mean the rejection OF
the treaty. The vote by which the
reservation won was 46 to 33.
The fight for reservations having
thus been carried to climax, the Re
publicans presented for future action
a cloture proposal designed to bring
final action on the question of ratifi-
cation within a week. A less sweep
ing measure, proposing limitation on
the reservation debate only had been
put in by the Democrats earlier in the
day but rejected when the Republi-
cans voted to sustain a point of Or
der against it.
Vote Saturday.
A vote on the question of clamping
down a cloture on debate will come
Saturday morning and the Repubn
can leaders say it will depend entirely
on the Democrats whether the move
rallies the necessary two-thirds to
make cloture effective. The Demo
cratic leaders were not ready tonight
to say how they would vote, be1ne
Fearful that agreement to so sweep
ing a programme might imperil their
chances to secure action on ratifi-
cation resolution of their own.
The article ten reservation as
adopted by the senate follows:
"The United States assumes no
obligation to preserve the territorial
integrity or political independence of
any other country, or to interfere
with controversy between nations
whether members Of the league or not
under the provisions of article ten,
or to. employ the military or naval
forces of the United States under any
article of the treaty for any purpose,
unless in any particular case the con-
gress, which, under the constitution,
has the sole power TO declare war, or
authorize the employment of the mill
tafy or naval forces Of the United
States, shall by act, or joint resolu-
tion 50 provide"
In only two particulars does this
language differ from the proposed
reservation which the president de-
clared at Cheyenne, Wyo., he would
be obliged to regard as a rejection.
AS read BY Mr.. Wilson the phrase,
s'under the provisions Of article ten"
occurred at different place, and the
final word, "provide," was changed
to declare"

CORN WENT Up ON
NEWS THAT STRIKE
HAD BEEN ENDED
Oats, in Full Sympathy,
Made a Fractional Gain,
as Did the Pr0vi-
sions List

Chicago, october 15.-Announcement
that the longshoremen's strike had
been called off led to a moderate ad-
vance today in the corn market. Prices
however, reacted somewhat and the
close was unsettled at q to q net
higher with December $1.22% to 81 % u
and May s1.211 II to s1.217s. Oats gained
y to Is cent and the provisions to
70 cents
Corn was bullishly affected from the
outset by the ending of the longshore-
mems strike, as grain had begun to
pile up at interior terminals and lake
loadings from here had been brought to
a virtual standstill. Unsettled weather
tended likewise to strengthen the corn
market today, and SO, too, did an adj
vance in quotations on hogs At one
time talk of a revival in export demand
for oats counted as further bullish
factor. On the whole, however. buyers
of corn were not aggressive and cin-
siderable realizing on the part of hold
ers was noted toward the last. New
corn arriving was said to show eX-
ceptionally good quality for this season
of the year.
Oats displayed independent strength
as a result of gossip that 100000 bushels
had been taken for export. Messages
on the subject, though, were conflict
ing.
Provisions were lifted by the up
turns in the value of grain and hogs.

New Orleans Cotton


New Orleans. October 15.-While
there were new high levels developed
in the early trading in cotton today,
the market developed pronounced
reactionary tendency around the middle
of the day and in the afternoon net
advances were replaced by net declines
Realizing from the long side furnished
most of the selling pressure, although
mixed with this character of offerings
were short sales in some volume, be-
ing induced by the belief among bear
ish traders that reaction from the
long advance was overdue. At the
highest levels, the trading months
We're 80 to 81 points above yesterday S
close; at the lowest they were % to
so points under. The close WAS at net
declines for the day of II to 80 points.
J. The opening was higher in response
to much better Liverpool than due
and the demand increased on the un-
favorable weather over the belt. The
weekly crop reports from the govern
ment were considered uhfavorable but
were not followed by any buying of
consequence. Spot accounts, on the
whole, were with values.
At the highest levels October touched
S5.11. Spots here were marked up %
points to 35c for middling.

TAKING A NEW DIP
General List Closed at a
Good Decline, the Next
Crop Deliveries Sustain
ing Largest Losses

New York, October 15.--After making
new high prices for the movement dur
ing todays earlier trading. the cotton
market turned easier under realizing
with December selling off from 34.75c
to S415cv and closing at 3427c. The
general list closed steady at a decline
of l to lao points, active winter and
spring months being SO to So points net
lower, while near months were rela-
lively firm and the biggest losses were
on the next crop deliveries.
The market opened irregular at an
advance of 81 points to a decline of 10
points. but soon turned firm on the con-
tinued strength of Liverpool bullish
overnight spot advices and reports OF
further rains in the western belt
For a time the buying was active
and before the end of the first hour
active months sold SO to 40 points net
higher with January touching S4.56c.
Offerings increased at this level and
there was considerable hedge selling
as well as realizing. Buyers found en-
coura cement in the bullish weekly re-
port of the weather bureau, but prices
gradually sagged off. New Orleans was
a seller on the break while there was
also selling for a reaction after the
advance of about 61s c per pound from
the low levels of last month. January
sold as low as 3S.70e while March eased
off to 33.50c, but october was relatively
well sustained and closing prices
showed rallies of several points from
the lowest.
The New Orleans selling combined
with reports that the cotton confer
ence there would take up the question
of gambling in cotton and the elimina :
ton of middlemen probably had an un-
settling influence during the afternoon.
Savannah reported clearance of 5000
bales for Bremen, the first direct ship
ment from that port to Germany since
1915 and Liverpool cables reported spin
ners in a rush to secure good grades.
