OYER'S MEASURE
BEFORE SENATE
BORAH JOINS FIVE DEMO-
Gratis ON COMMITTEE IN
EXPRESSING OPPOSITION
TO PROVISIONS EIGHT TO
SIX VOTE

Washington, July 1.-The Dyer
anti-lynching bill, providing penal
ties by the federal government for
mob action, was reported favorably
with amendments today by the SEN
ate judiciary committee by a vote
of 8 to 6.
Senators Ashurst (Democrat) OF
Arizona and Norris (Republican)
of Nebraska did not vote.
The vote today ended a long
committee fight over the bill, which
was passed last January by I'M
house and which has been urged by
and other organizations. OPP
moments of the measure have de-
clared it an unconstitutional inter-
ference with state rights.
Comparatively few changes were
made in the original house bill and
these were said to be designed to
meet the con constitutional objec-
tions. A subcommittee of the SEN
ate committee recently recommend
ed defeat of the bill on the ground
that it violated the constitution.
Some senaors voting today for a
favorable report were said to hold
doubts regarding its constitutional
ity but thought the bill should be
enacted and put up to the supreme
court.
The bill declares that if states
fail, neglect or refuse to maintain
protection of life they shall be
deemed to have denied the constl-
tutional guarantees and the federal
authorities will have power to act
by indictment of state officers or
members of a mob and trial in the
federal courts.
The measure requires reason
able efforts by state officers to
maintain order and protect prison.
ers and their failure would subject
them to imprisonment for five years
and a fine of $4,000. Members Of
MODS in which a prisoner is put to
death would be subject to convic-
ton Of conspiracy with imprison-
ment for five years to life provided.
Counties in which fatal mob disor-
ders occur would be liable to the
family Of the victim under a for
felt of $4,000.
Amendments adopted by the SEN
ate committee require that failure
of the state officers to protect mob
victims must be charged in the fed
eral Indictment and proven to the
satisfaction of the federal trial
court.

contested game at Cater Park. The

game was a pitchers battle between
|Kcanedy and Tollison throughout.
Abbeville led off with a show of
strength and chalked up one u in
the first and another in the third, but
were never afterwards able to score
further. Anderson halted the rush of
the invaders and came in for some
thing when the locals made two runs
in the sixth frame and tied up the
contest.
Kennedy, former Erskine star, was
nit less easily yesterday than on ear
lier occasions by Anderson batsmen.
They landed an ven half dozen hits
ard close up work Of the visiting in
field held these down for short gains.
However, Abbeville was able to get
but five hits off Tollison and these
were we'll scattered.
Clyde Heron, Strickland and Toll
lison each landed two-base hits for
the locals, while Agnew alone of the
visitors fell a double during the ten
innings of work.

Greenwood, July Achieved to
have been the oldest person in this
section, Betsy Wardlaw, a negro
woman, who claimed to have been
10 years of age, died yesterday at
Downs, in this county. She had no
record to substantiate her claim but
said she had nursed Mrs. A. R. Lo-

was a small child. Mrs. Lomax is now
ninety-two years of age.

MID-WINTER
MILLINERY
BY Rita Stuyvesant-

"lIE mid-winter is the time
when gay hats begin to be
Il shown, and perhaps it is
with a promise of spring soon TO
follow. or perhaps it is because
women have become a little
weary of the dark millinery OF
the autumn season. The new
hats lend Zest to the costume and
especially to the dark fur coat.
Brilliant colors are the rule
and the outstanding feature of
the millinery is the vivid color
ings of the metal brocades. Rich
copper tones shot with gold, vivid
greens and yellows. warm reds
and all shades of blue are in evi.
dence. The sheik turban is the
favorite. and il is wrapped grace
fully about the head.
Velets, too. are most popular
in warm rich shades and very
often show gold and silver en-
broidery. Duvetyns and veldyns
are also created into attractive
bits of millinery.
Although the huge collared
coats demand the small. close
fitting hat, there are many inter
esting hats of medium size. Some
are shown with a brim that
droops ever 40 slightly and occa-
sionally the facing is of a con-
trasting color and material.
A dressy hat that Is suitable
for daytime wear is of rich syrup
brown velvet turned up abruptly
at the front to display a facing OF
gold metallic cloth. II is finished
with a gold quill thrust across
the front.

company the fur. coats and are

Caracul there Is a small hat of
copen velvet with a broad band Of
the caracul, to frame the face be-
comingly. Squirrel. beaver. seal
and platinum caracul is also made
up into rakish hats of this sort
with top crowns of any vivid
color.
The flowers have begun to
bloom in the millinery world and
are ra~t'cularly well liked on the
tinted silver or gold cloth as well
as on the plain duvetyn and vel
ct fabrics. Small hats that turn
mp TO reveal the face are favored
lavishly with flat flowers in vivid
shades and many little mushroom
shapes are encircled with posies.
The strictly tailored hats in
dark colors with smart stiff
feather or lacduered fancies are
suitable for the matron whose
taste turns toward things con.
servative.

Food for the sick Is generally

Under liquid diet are included

to show hospitality"
Entertaining need not he eX-

and some tiny cookies cost very
little and yet such refreshment
rounds out the evening after n

And right here let me say that

But the whole point seems to
