MUST RUN AGAIN
FOR LEVERS PLACE

George Bell Zimmerman of Lex
ington, and E. C. Mann of St. Mat
thews, will run a second race for the
Democratic nomination for congress
from the Seventh District to succeed
A. F. Lever, resigned. Returns late
last night, which included all the
larger precincts of the district, show
ed Mr.. Zimmerman to be leading with
2,31s; Mr.. Mann second with 1,94l
Mr.. Fulmer third with 1,467; Mr..
Monteith fourth with 1921; Mr..
Cooper fifth with 4S2 and Mr.. Dun
can last with 3s.
The unreported precincts are small
ones and judging that the vote was
cast in q relative per cent. to those
heard from, there are not enough
votes out to change the personnel IN
the second primary September 9.
Lexington voters went to the polls
better than those of any other coun-
ty in the district. This is Mr.. Tim
nerman's home county and getting
1856 votes out of about 1900, he
got good lead on his several op-
ponents. Mr.. Monteith carried Rich
land substantially, while Mr.. Mann
carried Calhoun, and with II boxes

angeburg. Mr.. Zimmerman is lead
ing in Lee, and Mr.. Mann in SUMTER

LIKENS ENGLAND'S
POSITION IN EGYPT
TO HICHWAYMAN'S

Washington, Aug. 25.-Likening
Great Britain's legal position to
Egypt to that of highwayman, Jos.
eph W. Folk, counsel for the Egyp-
tian peace delegation, told the senate
foreign relations committee today
that the Versailles treaty proposed
to validate the robbery" of Egyp-
tian independence.
Having occupied Egypt after the
construction of the Suez canal under
the pretext of protecting the Egyp-
tians from rebels, Mr.. Folk said
Great Britain, in 1914, "seized the
Egyptian government and now pro-
posed under the treaty to reduce her
to a subject nation"
The treaty, he said, would make
Egypt's grievances against Great
Britain an internal question so that
it could not be dealt with by the
League Of Nations.
"The people of Egypt, the wit
ness declared, ''want League of
Nations which will protect their in
dependence and not destroy it. They
ask you not to deny them that self
determination for which more than a
million Egyptians fought in the war
, just ended"
The delegation sent to the Paris
conference by the Egyptian repre-
sentative assembly, Mr.. Folk said,
were held in virtual Imprisonment"
and were not permitted to even send
representative to the United States.
He declared the protectorate claimed
by Great Britain over Egypt was
"the sort of protectorate that high
wayman would claim over your pock-
etbook." ....
Great Britain repeatedly had pledg-
ed, Mr.. Folk said, that he occupa-
ton of Egypt would be temporary
and he asked that clause be writ
ten into the treaty giving Egypt the
right to appeal to the league coun-
Gil. 49,.
Republican members of the COM
mittee suggested, however, that the
,, league was to be controlled by the
same powers as made the treaty
and that Great Britain's rights in
Egypt already had been recognized
formally by the American state de-
partment. .

SHOPMEN OFFERED
ADJUSTMENT OF 4
CENTS PER HOUR

Washington, Aug. 26.-Increased
;y.ees will result in further increases
in the cost of production and the
cost of living, President Wilson said
today in a letter addressed to the
country on the subject of demands Of
railroad shopmen.
The president also said that any
substantial increase of wages in lead
ing lines of industry at this time
would crush the general campaign
the government is waging to reduce
the cost of living.
"The increases in the cost Of trans
portation which would necessarily
result from increases in the wages OF
railway emploes would more certain
ly and more Immediately have that
effect than any other advanced cost,
the president said.
He said it is neither was nor feasl-
BILE to take care of increases in the
wages of railroad employees at this
time by increases in freight rates.
The presidents statement follow
ed a conference with hundred rep
resentatives Of the railroad shop
mems unions who are demanding an
increase in wages.
eve ought to postpone questions
of this sort until normal conditions
come again and we have the oppor-
tunity for certain calculations as to
the relations between wages and the
cost of living" said the president.

'It is the duty of every citizen
of the country to insist upon q truce
in such contests until intelligent set
tlement can be made by peaceful and
effective common counsel.
81 appeal to my fellow citizens OF
every employment to cooperate in
insisting upon and maintaining such
truce, and to cooperate also in
sustaining the government in what l
conceive to be the only course which
conscientious public service can pur-
sue. Demands unwisely made and
passionately insisted upon at this
time, menace. the peace and prosper
ity of this country as nothing else
could, and thus contributes to- bring
about the very results which such de-
mands are intended to remedy"
The president at the same time
made public a statement addressed
to the railway employees department
of the American Federation Of La
Dor. He appeals to them to accept
wage readjustments and increases
much smaller than those asked, re-
questing that they lay the matter be-
fore the 100000 union members.
In this letter, the president says:
eve are face to face with a situ-
alton which is more likely to affect
the happiness and prosperity and
even the life Of our people than the
war itself.

less than bring our industries and

community action guided and inspir-
ed us while the fighting was on. We
shall need all these now and need
them in heightened degree if we
are to accomplish the first tasks of

The president also explained how
the government hopes to end profi-
teering, stimulate production and
lower prices. He says Every favor

Are you used to thinking of wo

In honor OF distinguished visitors,
and chicken or oyster supper now
and then to raise funds for a new
suit of clothes for the poorly-paid
pastor?
II SO. probably you have not been
to church recently.
Since the Southern Baptist wo-
men began their organized work
through the Woman's Missionary
Union they have contributed more
than 100000 in cash to the vari-
Gus causes fostered by the demoni-
nation, and when the value of boxes
they have made up for orphan chill
dren and other benevolent causes is
added their total contributions reach
the sum of $5.710,433.71.
Encouraged by the general spirit
OF the Baptist rs Million Campaign,
however, the women gladly assumed
the task Of raising $4,000 900 dur
Ing, the next five years, or one-fifth
the total sum sought in the cam.
paign, and their leaders have no
doubt that they will raise every cent
Oh this amount and more.
And the women's part Of The
money Is going to be raised through
the hard work, earnings and sacri-
ices Of the women themselves and
not through sums contributed bv
the men OF their families.
Legitimate Giving Will Raise Fund
NOR are the women going to de-
pend upon church suppers. fairs. IA
zaars, ice cream socials. pink teas
and things OF that kind to assist
them In their undertaking. All such
methods OF raising money for relig-
lous purposes are frowned upon by
the leaders of the Woman's Mission
airy Union. Instead, the women will
work, sacrifice and save in order
that they may during the next five
years give $15.o00,0 900 to the adj
vancement of the Kingdom of God
In the world through larger contri-
buttons to foreign, home and state
missions, Christian education, hos
pitfalls. orphanages, ministerial relief
and other equally deserving beneyo-
Iences.
Every Good Cause Is Aided.
Every missionary, educational and
