Memphis, Tenn, March z.-Raise
foodstuffs or starve.
That isswhat the farmers Of the
south are being told by agricultural
experts and the newspapers. The
southern States have never produced
enough foodstuffs to. feed themselves.
Always great stores of food have.
been moved south from the north and
cotton has been sent north in ex-
changes With the railroads congest.
ed aid European countries crying for
every pound of food America can
spare, the south must not draw on
the north for food; but must raise a
sufficient amount at all hazards.
It is pointed out that the world
can get along with seven or eight,
million bales of cotton, against the
Usual 20 or Is million bales, and that.
instead Of producing; a surplus of cot

TlLLMAN IN THE RACE:
LEVER MAY ANNOUNCE

Washington, March Ex-senator
B. R. Tillman tonight announced his
candidacy for reelection as senator
from South Carolina. The senior
senator in prepared statement calls
attention to his position as chairman
of the committee on naval affairs,
his work for the navy in that connec-
ton and his influence in official
Washington. He declares that the
world war has so changed the situa-
ton since his announcement in 1914
that he would not be candidate to
succeed himself that he now believes
he can best. serve his State and the
nation by remaining in the senate.
Representative A. F. Lever of the
Seventh South Carolina District,
chairman Of the house agricultural
committee, also issued statement in
which he says that although strong
representations have been and are
being made to him he has no posi-
tive announcement to make in regard
to his ultimate intention touching On
the senatorial race.
The above statements from Sena-
tor Tillman and Congressman Lever
have been the source of much con-
lecture in this county as Lexington
is Mr.. Levers home county and
Senator Tillnan has always had a
large political following here. It is
the general opinion of many that Mr..
Lever viii be a candidate for the
Senate inspite Of the above state
meat Of Senator Tillman. There is
also another phase Of this political
talk that makes II interesting to Lex
singtonians which is the candidacy of
Solicitor George Bell Zimmerman
for Mr, Levers seat in Congress in
the event that MP Lever runs for
the senate. Already Solicitor Tim
norman has received a large number
Of letters from different counties in
the 7th Congressional District urg-
ing him to- become candidate. Mr..
Zimmerman could not be seen today
as he is in Edgefield holding court,
bat some Of his close friends stated
that it was an assured fact that he
would be a candidate if Mr.. Lever
ran for the Senate. <

ton to this, there is the welfare work
of the organization in which depart
ment the needs of those who are
made widows and orphans are cared
for. No wife nor child in home
where the breadwinner is offering

suffer unduly therefor.
In closing, DR.. Morse said this was
an historic night in this community.
There were those present, he felt,
who IN after life would look back to
this occasion and bless the time they
were given, the opportunity to Join
such an organization, that in the
very first years of the great war
they became members of the Amerl-
can Red Cross.

And there are thousands and tens
Of thousands Of men and women like
him all over the country who have
laid aside their vocation to work for
the alienation of human suffering at
munificient salary of one dollar a
year.
The Red Cross is the only organi-
zation in this Country which has been
chartered by Congress to render as
sistance to the soldiers and sailors Of
America, wherever they may be. The
closest intimacy exists between the
Red Cross and the United States gov
ernment, and from this fact the ques-
ton might be suggested why doesn't
the government take it over% There
are two resaons; one is that never in
the annals 81 history has a govern

De. Morse told the int teresting
story Sc how tIie Red Cross had been
the result of an agitation started in
Italy IN 1859 by a Swiss tourist who
witnessed the terrible scene Of thir-
,ty thousand wer nded and dying sold
iers left helpless among the dead on
a battlefield near Solferino. He xe-
turned from the battlefield to the
little city and SO stirred its populace
BY his appeals that he was accompan-
led back to the scene Of the suffer
ing By a handful Of its residents, and
there they nninistered unto thos who
were still capable Of receiving their
attention. Upon his return to his
SWISS home, this gentlemen wrote
