R. R. REPLY GIVEN
TO THE PRESIDENT
Seems That President Failed to Meet
Wage Demands and That Unions
Accented Same For Present.
Associated Press

WASHINGTON. Feb. 14-The re-
ply of the Railroad Brotherhoods to
President Wilson's decision in the
wage controversy was presented to
the President today. Immediately af-
teward the Union officials sent a tele-
gram to local organizations through
out the country which B. M. Jewell,
president Of the Railroad Department
Of the American Federation of Labor,
said would serve to STEADY our men, -
until they receive full correspondence
covering the negotiations. Mr.. Jewell
would not say just what the results
of the negotiations were, but it seem
ed certain the President had refused
to meet the demands for general
wage increase and the decision was ac-
cepted by the Union officials, at least
for the. present.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON LETTER.
(From J. F. Clark & Co.,
by Abe Silver.)

NEW ORLEANS, La, Feb. IA
Weather conditions over night were
much better than forecasted. The map
shows only light precipitation over
the North and Central portion of
the belt. Indications are for partly
cloudy to fair, possibly some iso-
lated local showers, colder General
news was unfavorable but attack
which was started yesterday on the
basis Of techinal condition seemed
still in operation and the market,
after a lower opening advanced about
SO points following an upturn in the
northern market on covering of what
advices termed as some Wall Street
short lines.
General trade reviews point to eau
tion signals by the decline in exchange
rates, higher money rates, disturbance
to shipping, the influenza epidemic
and also the probable tie-up by Rail
road strike has caused for increased
conservatism and retraction.
Sterling exchange advanced this
morning to 3.46 Ia which is viewed
as reflecting the decrease in export
bills.
The techinal situation appeared re-
lieved by the further covering this
morning and the market reacted SO
points from top prices. However,
New York still gave signs of streng-
tn which is explained on the ground
of the large straddle commitments
with Liverpool exceeding the feeling
of stock protection.
The market rallied in the closing
trading again to top figures in New
York on another spell.

Mayors Proclamation

"To the people of Greenwood:
Because it has an important bear
ing on civic welfare in Greenwood, as
well as on individual welfare in count
less cases, | feel it my duty to call
attention to the we'll Conceived plan
for Father and Son Week." from
February 10Th to 23rd.
"The purpose is admirable. Any
thing that tends to bring father and
son closer together in friendly spirit
can not but be beneficial to themselves
and to the community.
Il believe that fathers can do more
than any others to stem he great
and alarming tide of dropping out
of school, which carried many boys
out into the world unfit for progress
and prosperity or public service
MANY boys grow to manhood vir-
tually ignorant of even the simplest
process of government. These every
father can explain to his son. The
son, in every case, should become bet
ter than his father, for that marks
progress.
"The Week that is coming will
suggest many ways in which fathers
may gain more completely the confid
of effective guidance and unresented
control.
81, therefore, call upon the fathers
of this city and request their cooper
alton in this important movement by
attending with their sons at least one
of the meetings to be held during the
Father and Son Week l hope the
men who have no sons will befriend
the boys who have no fathers

REPORTED DEATH
MRS. M. D. GIBSON
With Her Twin Sister, Mrs. Lewis,
ering Famous Syriac Palimpsest.
Associated Press

LONDON, Feb. 14-The death is re-
ported of Mrs. Margaret Dunlop
Gibson, who in 1896, after six visits
to Mount Sinai, brought to England
for the first leaf of what is known as
the Hebrew Ecclesiasticus.
With her twin sisters, Mrs. Agnes
Lewis, shared the distinction of dis
covering in 1892 the famous Syriac
palimpsest of the Gospels, in the mon
astery on Mount Sinai. 1t was very
dirty, and its leaves were nearly all
stuck together, through their having
remained unturned probably since the
Syrian monk had died in the monas-
terry centuries before.
The sisters took about 400 photo
graphs of it. When they returned to
England it was identified by Profes-
sors Burkitt and Bensley Of Cam
bridge University as the Curetonian
manuscript, one of the oldest versions
of the Gospels exta11t in any language.
Another expedition was sent to Sinai
and the text was copied. It's publ
cation of the text in 1894 marked an
epoch in the history of Biblical criti-
cism.
Mrs. Gibson was the widow of the
Reverend James Young Gibson a not

RESIGNATION OF
LANSING Is MADE
Presidents Rebuke Came After Long
Standing Differences Had Existed
Between Two.
Associated Press

= WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. IA
Rebuked by President Wilson for call
ing cabinet meetings during his ill
ness, Secretary Lansing has resigned.
The President has accepted his res
ignation with appreciation
Although the correspondence bet
ween Secretary Lansing and the Pres
ident makes the calling of the cabinet
meetings an incident which leads di-
rectly to the. resignation, persons on
the inside of the administration say
that reasons for the break go back for
many months and come from funda-
mental differences Of opinion in pol
icy.
The relations between the Presi-
dent and the Secretary, it is stated
reached the breaking point early in
1917, when Lansing issued a state
ment saying the United States was
daily being drawn nearer into war
When Lansing and members of the
peace delegation were in Paris more
differences developed with the other.
members of the American Mission. He
was not in accord. with Presidents
idea of making the. treaty of peace
and the covenant of the League Of
Nations one and the same inseparable
documents. It was Lansing's idea
that such plan would delay the rati-
fication of the peace treaty and in
this he was supported by Henry
White and E. M. House.
However the incident which came
nearer causing the break than any
other, was the statement of William
C. Bullitt, one of the experts attach
ed to the American Peace Mission,
who quoted Lansing as having told
him he was out of sympathy with the
League Of Nations Covenant. Lam
sing did not repudiate Bullitt's state
ments. Lansing never saw the Pres
ident again and all his business with
the Chief Executive was done in writ
inf. Lansing's action of calling the
cabinet together then brought rela-
ton to breaking point.
LANE MAX Es STATEMENT. e.
WASHINGTON, Feb .14-Secreta-
ry Lane declared today he considered
himself "just as responsible" as Sec
retary Lansing for the calling of the
cabinet meetings during the Presi-
dents illness He said Secretary Lam
sing had called him on the telephone

ing the meeting and presumably had
secured the approval of the other cab
