ton its first order Of business at the
special session, there is no reason why
the Senate should not quickly follow
suit, and, with a comparatively clear
calendar Of business ready for action,
put the amendment likewise upon its
passage promptly. The House acted
without hearings, for the subject was
perfectly we'll understood. The Senate,
which has had hearings innumerable
on this question, can with equal pro-
pr.ety bring the resolution to vote
without further preliminaries than a
'ormal reference to committee and the
presentation of it's report.

More Time Given Germany.

Extension of the time allowed the
. Germans to reply to the proposed peace
: terms does not signify that there will
be any weakening of the front when
! the final decision is made. The plea
of Count Won Brockdorff Rantzau fol-
more time to write notes, which he
enumerates, is couched in such terms
that to deny it would appear 70 refuse
the enemy full opportunity to state
ing to do. They want to afford the
!; Germans the fullest time for rejoinder
SO that, whatever the final terms may
be, it cannot be said that Germany
was denied hearing.
The nature of the final German re-
ply is clearly indicated in the declara-
2 ton of the cabinet at Berlin, which
states that the peace Germany expects
. and has right to expect is one based
upon Secretary Lansing's note of No
vember 5, 1918; in other words, Presi-
dent Wilson's fourteen points" With
characteristic effrontery the German
cabinet proceeds to claim that Ger
many was induced to lay down her
arms by the tender of peace on that
basis.
Germany sought an armistice, know
ing that she was beaten in the field
and that further warfare would bring
her to the point of utter disaster, with
invasion Of her own land and the visi-
: tation upon her Of all the horrors Of
: the conflict. She was not "induced"
to lay down her weapons. She wanted
to lay them down. seeking the best
possible terms. She has been granted
now peace treaty which is in every
essential in accord with the fourteen
points, which squares with the princi-
pies of justice, which grants to her
much more consideration than she
would have shown to her own enemies
if they had been defeated.
The declaration of the Berlin cabi-
net is not, of course, officially before
the peace council at Paris. If the re-
ply Of the delegates is eouched in sim
liar language it will assuredly not lead
to remission of any Of the terms. AL
ready the delegates have attempted to
dictate to the peace council. Their at
titude has been one of arrogance, not
of yielding to defeat. Their notes have
been filed with suggestions of moral
superiority. The further statements,
for the preparation Of which another
week has been granted, are not likely
to be in different tone. 1t is as we'll,
perhaps. to give the enemy this addi-
tional time, to complete record of
shameless refusal to accept situation
which cannot be changed without vio-
lation of the vital principles of JUS
tiee, for which the allies fought and
which have been established by the
victorious armies that are even now
ready to renew the fight if the enemy
30 wills.

The President's Coming Address.

=
The President, in cable from Paris
acknowledging the receipt of the mott
6cation Of the assembling of Congress
and Its readiness for business, express
les the hope that he "may soon be
present in Washington to communi-
gate to members full information with
aegard to international affairs"
This address, of course, will formal
~ open the debate on the peace treaty.
As yet the full terms of the treaty
are unknown. The reasons for with
holding them are unknown But they
are sufficient to satisfy not only the
President, but also Mr.. Lloyd George
and NJ. Clemenceau.
The President knows the whole story
of the making Of the treaty. He has
been the most prominent figure at the
conference table. He has contributed
many suggestions, and been advised
with about suggestions made by others.
AL the details are within his knowI-
edge.
The story, necessarily, is long. How
much Of it the President will feel at
liberty to communicate publicly is q
question. But the treaty, Of course, in
full length will be submitted to the
Senate.
The country will expect, and be en-
titled to, very full information. No
trsaty approaching this one in impor.
tsaes has ever been presented. Many
runners about fts provisions and their
meaning are current These hsve

Mighty Poor Advice.

Leaders among colored people in
other parts of the country are giving
them mighty poor advice. In negro
mass meeting in New York Sunday
afternoon one of the speakers sug-
gested following up the constructive
work done by the blacks in Washing
ton" The "work" referred to in
Washington should be referred to as
obstructive" rather than "con-
structive," for if such a course be
persisted in by the colored people, it
will doubtless result in their ulti-
mate destruction.
In dispatch from Chattanooga IN
Mondays papers negro preacher is
credited with writing a letter to
President Wilson in which he de-
clares that before the negroes of this
country will submit to "many of the
iniustices which we have suffered,
the white man will have to Kill more
of them than the combined number
soldiers that were slain in the great
world war;" Such a veiled challenge
sent out by negro preacher, one
who poses. as leader of his race, is
not calculated to foster harmonious
relations between the races.
We. apprehend little trouble from
the colored people in this part of the
country. The two races understand
each ether and we believe the same
harmonious relations of the past will
continue. However, the advice given
and the examples set in other parts
of the country are anything but
wholesome and may have harmful ef-
fects.

Senator Tillman's Will Filed
in Augusta.

Augusta, Ca, July 29.-A copy of
ne will of the late United States
Senator Benjamin R. Tillman of
trenton, S. c., has been filed with
he local clerk of court here together
with the papers appointing his son,
8. R. Tillman, Jr., executor.
The will was originally flsd with
the clerk of court at Edgefield last
August following the death on July
g.. 1918, of the senator.
Under this will Mrs. Iona Tillman
Moore is given the Tillman property
at the corner of Broad and Kollock
streets now occupied by the Augusta
Vulcanizing Company. The other
property of the late senator, consist
ing of valuable farm lands in Green
wood, Aiken and Edgefeld counties
of South Carolina and other property
in North Crolina was divided equal
ly among his widow and four chill
children. The home place at Trenton
was left to his widow and other prop
erty divided equally among the four
children. Certain sets of books were
left to his grandchildren, the bulk of
his library remains at the Tillman
home in Trenton. Two busts of the
late senator were given to Clemson
and Winthrop colleges of South Caro-
lima. By terms of the will the children
are required to care for one of the
old and faithful servants at the Till
man home.

Bolts White Primary.

It is almost unbelievable that a
South Carolina white man, one born
of South Carolina parentage, reared
in the Democratic atmosphere of the
Palmetto State, educated in South
Carolina institutions, and, too, one
who has given direction to the affairs
of State for four years and there
fore realizes how fraught with dan
ger is such course, should be so dis
loyal and so untrue to the traditions
of the South as to repudiate the white
primary and seek office by entering
the general election in opposition to
the nominee who shall be chosen in
the regularly constituted, Democratic
way. And yet, as calamitous as it is,
this is true. Ex-Governor Blease has
announced that he is candidate for
Congress from the seventh district
but will not allow his name to be vo-
ted for in the primary election fixed
for August 26. He furthermore urges
his followers not to vote until the
general election, which is without
race or party restriction.
Considering the fact that the Re-
publican party is now the dominant
party and will leave nothing undone
that will embarrass and humiliate
the South, and considering the fur
ther fact that race conditions nation
ally and in our own State have not
been more acute since the trying
days Immediately following the Civil
War, rendering it imperative that
there be no division among the white
people of the South, such course as
Mr.. Blease has adopted is all the more
reprehensible.
While we know nothing of Mr..
Blease's motives, and do not now i'm
pugn them, yet in view of the hun
dreds of pardons issued to negroes
and in view of certain well-known
speeches he has made to large negro
audiences in the past, does he not
lead one to suspect that this denoue-
ment is bid for the negro vote? We
L.. Loo,, ;nforrood thot tho nooroec
are registering in large numbers in
the seventh district.
Every true South Carolinian owes
it to himself, to society and to the
State, to throw the weight of influ
ence on the side of relieving the
tense racial and political situation,
instead of seizing upon it as an op-
portunity to further selfish ends.
Surely such course as Mr.. Blease
