ed of in connection with this race.

In the Seventh district Mr.. H. P.
Fulmer of Orangebrug, who was IN
the race to succeed Congressman
Lever last year, upon Mr.. Levers
resignation, has announced that he
will oppose Congressman Ed c..

1t has been announced that Mr.. E.
J. Sherwood of Horny will oppose
CONGRESSMAN P. H. Stoll of Williams
burg for reelection in the Sixth dis
trict. Mr.. Stoll was chosen in the spe-
cial election ordered to fill the va
cancy created by the death of the
late Congressman Ragsdale. At that

The suit between South Carolina
and Georgia to establish the bound

again been postponed on account OF
the resignation of>the attorney gen

activities to his campaign for the
governorship of Georgia. Georgia
