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.

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."

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.
