MUST RUN AGAIN FOR LEVER'S PLACE Geoige Bell Timmerman of Lexington, and E. C. Mann of St. Macfchews, 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, showed Mr. Timmerman to be leading with I 2,819; Mr. Mann second with 1,941; Mr. Fulmer third with 1,467; Mr. Monteith fourth with 1,321; Mr. Cooper fifth with 432 and Mr. Duncan last with 38. The unreported precincts are small ones and judging that the vote wds cast in a 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 county in the district. This is Mr. Timmerman's home county and getting 1,556 votes out of about 2,200, he got a good lead on his several opponents. Mr. Monteith carried Richland substantially, while Mr. Mann carried Calhoun, and with 17 boxes to be heard from, is leading in Orangeburg. Mr. Timmerman is leading in Lee, and Mr. Mann in Sumter, with about 100 votes to be hea?d from. own land? ? ?| I A?K SUTHERLAND 1 Now all of the land will be some man'* land?why not come into your share?

Bg Price, $1,650.00 SHOPMEN OFFERED ADJUSTMENT OF 4 rrWTQ PFR HOUR Washington, Aug. 26.-??Increased ;v;.ges will result in further increases in the cost of production , and the cqst of living, President Wilson said today in a letter addressed to the i country on the subject of demands of | railroad shopmen. The president also said that any substantial increase of wages in leading 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 transportation which would necessarily result from increases in the wages of 1 * railway emploes would more certain-1 ly and more immediately have that) j effect than any other advanced cost," I the president said. He said it is neither was nor feasible to take care of increases in the wages of railroad employes at this time by increases in freight rates. The president'3 statement followed a conference with a hundred representatives of the railroad shopmen's anions who are demanding ani increase in wages. "We ought to postpone questions1 of this sort until normal conditions, come again and we have the oppor-J tunity for certain calculations as toj the relations between wages and the! cofct of living," said the president. I Appeal* for Truce. "It is the duty of every .citizen of the country to insist upon a truce in such contests until intelligent settlement can be made by peaceful and effective common counsel. , "I appeal to my fellow citizens ofj every employment to co-operate in: insisting upon and maintaining such1 a truce, and to co-operate also in! sustaining the government in what I' conceive to be the only course which ! conscientious public service can pur-j sue. Demands unwisely made and! passionately insisted upon at this' time, menace, the peace and prosperity of this country as nothing elsej I could, and thus contributes to' bring : about the very results whicji such demands are intended to remedy." Thte president at the same time made public a statement addressed to the railway employes department of the American Federation of La bor. He appeals to them to accept wage readjustments and increases much smaller than those asked, requesting that they lay the matter be* fore the 500,000 union members. In this letter, the president says: "We are face to face with a situation which is more likely to affect the happiness and prosperity and even the life of our people than the war itself. "We hare now got to do nothing less than bring our industries and bur labor of every kind back to a 11 . . . normal basis after the greatest up-1 heaval known to history, and the winter just ahead of us may bring suffering infinitely greater than the war brought upon us if we blunder i or fail in the process. "An admirable spirit of self-secnifice, of patriotic devotion and, of community action guided and inspired us while the fightng was on. We shall need all these now and need them in a heightened degree if wej are to accomplish the first tasks of. peace." i * I The president also explained., howj the government hopes to end profi-1 teering, stimulate production andj lower prices. He says "very favorable results are already beginning to appear." ' SAYS ARMY OFFICIALS DISCREDITED CRITICS - - I Washington, Aug. 26.?Charges I that Secretary Baker, Major General j Enoch H. Crowder, judge advocate . general, and Colonel John H. Wigj more "established a propaganda bu-: reau to discredit critics of the existing military justice system and to J defend the system," were made before a senate military subcommittee today by Samuel T. Ansell, formerly acing judge advocate general. Ansell said several officers and about fourteen clerks were regularly assigned to duty in the bureau to issue statements to the press and to ; congress. He also charged that of ficers who criticized the system were "menaced, threatened and disciplined," while those who defended it j were promoted. LIKENS ENGLAND'S | POSITION IN EGYPT TO HIGHWAYMAN'S Washington, Aug. 25.?Likening Great Britain's legal position to j Egypt to that of a highwayman, Jos-,] 1. nr 17.11. .1 ? IT.. r?.rr. I epn vr. rum, cuunaet xui tue yy tian peace delegation, told the senate foreign relations committee today that the Versailles treaty proposed to validate the "robbery" of Egyptian independence. Having occupied Egypt after the construction of the Suez canal under the pretext of protecting the Egyptians from rebels, Mr. Folk said Great Britain, in 1914, "seized the Egyptian government and now proposed 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 witness declared, "want a League of Nations which will protect their independence and not destroy it. They | ask you not to deny them that selfI determination for which more than a million Egyptians fought in the war ;just ended." The delegation sent to the Paris | conference by the Egyptian representative assembly, Mr. Folk said, were held in "virtual imprisonment" and were not permitted to even send a representative to the United States. He declared the protectorate claimed by Great Britain over Egypt was "the sort of protectorate that a highwayman would claim over your pocketbook." Great Britain repeatedly had pledged, Mr. Folk said, that he occupation of Egypt would be temporary and he asked that a clause be written into the treaty giving Egypt the right to appeal to the league council. Republican members of the committee 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 department.
