white voters registered and seventy
four colored residents upon the eli

A normal registration in Sumter
county runs somewhere near two
thousand whites and the loss is ac-
counted for by the fact that large
number of young men have gone into
military and naval service during the
past year. Following the usual trend.
it is expected that a number of those
who registered will not participate
in the coming senatorial primary
some because of absence from the
city, and others for different reasons.
This, it is expected, will result in not
more than twelve hundred votes be-

RAILROAD men
GET GOOD RAISE

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. o.
Nearly a million railroad employees
including all clerks, track laborers
and maintenance of way men, are to
Yeceive wage increases of $25 a month
the equivalent of 81 day or II cents
an hour, over the pay the yreceived
asst January l, under new wage
order today by Director General Nc
Adoo. Advances are effective as OF
September /.
This order. affecting half of the
railroad men in the United States and
adding approximately $15O,OOO,OOO to
the annual pay roll in calculations OF
81 Dor representatives, is the second
alargest aggregate wage increase ever
granted in American industrial his
tory.
1t is supplementary to the general
railway wage order issued nearly four
months ago. providing for about $780,
600 900 increases, and for the classes
of employees affected, it suplants pro-
visions of that order.

The Times-Recorder learns on good

will be here this week, and that he

violated the order wilfully may find
that their service order numbers have

PRAISE OF

London, July 26.-The Australians
know good soldiers when they see

cans with whom they have fought side

Bean, the Australian war correspond

The German newspaper barrage
against the value of the American
troops must be intended for people
inside Germany since we here, work
ing side by side with the Americans,
know the facts concerning their num-
Der and quality by the process of
simply looking at what Is happening
beside us.
We have seen the country all up
with Americans until 1t simply swarms
with them.
IF the German comforts himself
with the idea that they are not equal
in value TO any OF his troops, so much
the better, because his surprise will
be very great. Their great military
authorities taught them the same fall
lacy respecting troops from the Brit
ish domintons.
The quality of the American troops
is infinitely higher than thai of any
German troops the Australians have
ever met in France. Australian Of
ficers and men who know them in
every form, say that without exception
the American troops are the finest one
could possibly wish to meet.

strength of this tremendous new
power existing in France against him.

Pile realize how their military leaders

Proper consideration of the new
