they ought to invest few cents IN
seeds and have some of their very
own.

New York, March 30.-The hush of
idleness seemed today already de-
scending upon the unionized coal in

April 1 and entrenched themselves for
long struggle over the conference

Howard Reaves, senior at Furman
University, won distinctive honors in
the debate with Oklahoma Baptist
University last evening-carrying off
first honors. The subject under de-
bate was the advisability of the fed
eral government enacting Legislation
embodying the principal of the Kan
sas industrial court law, and Furman
upheld the negative.
A feature of the occasion which
makes the honor doubly priced was
the fact that Mr.. Reaves had only
three days notice in which to prepare
his part of the debate. He was spend
ing the weekend with friends at
Honea Path and received wire from,
his university that the representative
from Furman who was to meet Okla
homa was ill and he would have to
take his place.
Only three days notice, but this
brilliant young fellow rose to the oc.
casion and won the first honors and
the decision was unanimous in his
favor.
Howard is the only son Of DR.. and
Mrs. E. S. Reaves of our city anC
has made a wonderful record at Fur
man University, winning many honors
In April he is to represent Furmar
at Mercer University, when the de.
bate will be held at Brenau College.
Union predicts success for thi:
young man in the next debate anc
warmly congratulates him upon win
ming this signal victory.

SENATE RATIFIES
TWO ARMS TREATIES

Washington, March 29.-The two
arms conference treaties limiting the
navies of the great powers and re-
stricting the use of submarines and
poison gas were ratified in a land
slide of appreciation today by the
senate.
To the naval limitation covenant
declaring a naval building holiday
and fixing ration of capital ship
strength for the United States, Great
Britain, Japan, France and Italy, the
senate gave it's final assent by a vote
of "a to 1, and then almost without
debate it accepted II to 0 the pact
designed to prevent submarine oper-
ations against merchantmen and to
outlaw chemical warfare altogether.
No amendment or reservations were
proposed to either.
The only negative vote was cast
against the naval treaty by Senator
France (Republican) of Maryland,
who said he regarded naval reduc-
ton as dangerous expedient under
present world conditions. Every
other member of the "irreconcilable"
bloc who was present cast vote in
the affirmative although Senator
Borah ,(Republican) of Idaho told the
senate he regarded the treaty as only
a beginning and Senator Johnson
(Republican) of California declared
he accepted the Notifications "status
quo" provisions for the Pacific with
grave misgivings."
A speech assailing the poison gas
articles of the submarine and gas
treaty was made on the senate floor
by Senator Wadsworth (Republican)
of New York, chairman of the mill
tary committee, but before the rati-
fcation roll he left the chamber and
did not vote. The New York sena
tor disagreed with the statement in
the treaty text that use of gas in
warfare had been "justly condemned
by the general opinion of the civilized
world" argued that chemical war
fare had not proved actually more
brutal than other accepted methods
of destruction and expressed fear
that the treaty pledges would be vio-
lated in any emergency.
As soon as the two pacts had been.

brought Formally Before the senate
the general Far Eastern treaty. De-
bate on it will begin tomorrow with
indications pointing to opposition
from a small group of senator's who
believe that China's interests were
not sufficiently protected. 1t is the
hope of the le"ders, however, that
both this pact and the Chinese tariff
treaty, the last remaining covenant
Of the congress, will be ratified dur
ing the present week.

dictine order at the monastery at
tached to Belmont abbey. One of the
priests was kneeling before the higl,
altar when the apparition appeared
and he called some of his colleagues,
who are also reported to have seen the
apparition. One Of the priests at the
monastery said: zone evening was in
the grounds closing doors, when saw
the life-size figure of priest, dressed
in his ordinary habit. Another time I
was asleep, when was awakened by
someone passing hand over my heart.
Starting up, I recognized the visitant
as the returned spirit of dead priest" "
The abbot of Belmont treated the mat

him good dose of physic for indiges-
tion and watch how he eats his next
