SEEK SLEMP’S AID
STATE ROW EXPECTED TO BE
FIRST TROUBLE LAID ON
NEW SECRETARY’S DESK.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Factional
rows among republicans in Georgia
will constitute one of the first troubles
laid on the desk of former Representa
tive C. Bascom Slemp, of Virginia,
who took up last week his duties as
secretary to the president. Rehable
reports are that rival factions in Geor
gia will attempt to enlist the aid ot
Mr. Slemp in unhorsing J. Louis
Phillips as chairman of the rapublican
state committee and Georgia patron
age distributor.
Republican leaders here are aware
that factionalism is rampant in the
party organization in Georgia. There
are at least three factions. Henry Lin
coln Johnson, negro national commit
teeman, has called on President Cool
idge “to pay his. respects” and tue un
derstanding is here that Johnson will
seek Mr. Slemp’s aid in eliminating
State Chairman Phillips. |
All Factions Seek His Ear.
Clark Grier, who belongs to anoth
er faction, has been in Washington
looking over the situation and it is
said that he, too, will urge Mr. Slemp
to take a hand in the Georgia muddle.
On the other hand, Chairman Phil
lips, who spends considerable time in
Washington, is scheduled to leturn
this week to look after his own mnter
ests. Former efforts of Mr. Slemp andf
other republican leaders to reoryanize |
the republican party in Georgia and{
bring peace among the factions have |
failed. !
Independent of the anti-Phillips
campaign there is also an anti-John
son campaign. Many white republi
cans in Georgia, including Chairman
Phillips, would like to ‘get rid of Na
tional Committeeman Johnson, who is
holding just as tenaciously to his post
as Chairman Phillips ciings to his
own.
Patronage Cause of Fight.
The whole fight centers around
patronage- and recognition by the na
tional administration, besides control
of the next Georgia delegation to the
republican convention. It is plain that
Johnson has no thought of resigning
as committeeman, although Chairman
Phillips and his lieutenant, Secretary{
Crawford, have largely controlled fed-

Codl prices from Survey of Current Business, February 1923.

Wages, from November (1922) Monchly Labor Review, Bureau of
Laber Scatistics.
Swapping things—as when
our grandmothers traded eggs
for calico at the cross-roads store
—gives a better understanding of
values. By measuring one thing
against another we too can often
judge values more clearly.
- Coal and wages make up more -
than half the manufacturing cost
of cement.
The chart above shows price
fluctuations for portland cement,
coal and wages during the past
ten years. In each case 100 is used
to represent 1913 figures, by the
Government departments which
compiled these statistics. \
Translated into “eggs and calico”
language, this chart shows that a ton of
coal would buy nearly twice as much
cement in 1922 as in 1913. A day’s wages
also would buy more cement in 1922
than in 1913.
This means that even though coal and
wages make up more than half its manu- -
facturing cost, cement is now relatively
lower in price than either coal or wages.
So, considering these increased costs,
it is plain that in buying cement you get
more for your money than before.

eral patronage in the state and have
side-tracked Johnson’s influence to
that extent.
Plans of the Harding administration
to placate Johnson by giving him ap
pointment outside «the United States,
such as minister to Liberia, [ell
through because Johnson would not
resign as committeeman or leave this
country. The senate failed to confirm
his nomination to be register of deeds
in Washington.
The fact that Mir. Slemp, at the
Norfolk convention three years ago.
started a “lily white” movement
among Virginia republicans and kept
negro delegates out of that conven
tion and out of the Chicago conven
tion is regarded as none too encour-l
aging to the Johnson outfit.

Half of All the People
Are Engaged in Farming
Figures Compiled fot Twenty-Three
Leading Countties of World.
Only 13,000,000, or slightly under
30 per cent of all the people in the
United States, are engaged in agricul
tural work, but fully half of all the
people in the world are engaged in
this line of business. Figures recently
compiled by the United States depart
i ment of agriculture show that of the
i twenty-three leading countries about
51 per cent of all the inhabitants are
engaged in some form of agriculture.
These figures do not include the pop
iulation of Russia, China, Serbia, Hun
'gary, Argentina and Brazil.
| The largest number engaged in agri
! culture in any one country is in In
idia. A total of 105,000,000, or 72 per
cent of the population of that country,
‘are engaged in some form of farming.
{ Thus it is seen that the problems of
| farming affect a larger number of peo
ip!c than any other line of work.

THE DAWSON NEWS
icamp meeting season, as indicated by
lofl‘icial reports.
The return for money spent, per
haps, should be made larger than the
price indicates, There are intangible
benefits, of course, which community
life in general receives from church
expenditures, But if one assumes that
’building up the number of believers is
‘the ultimate goal of ecclesiastical ef
fort, then the use of figures on agided
communicants alone may be justified.
Large Membership.
This is the arithmetic of it: The
Federal Council of Churches, repre
senting thirty leading Protestant bod
ies, reports a total membership of 20,-
722,042 for last year. The same set of
figures made public by the council
statistician, Dr. E. O. Watson, of
Washington, D. C., reports a mem
bership gain for the year of 669,261.
The same organization, reporting on
the financial condition of 27 leading
denominations, shows a per sapita con
tribution ‘last vear of $5.17 for mis
sions and benevolences and $14.13 for
congregational expenses, a total of
$19.30. At that rate the expenditures
of the thirty denominations covered
in the membership report aggregated
$399,935.60.
And 50 Cents!
Now divide total expenditures by
total additions and you have the cost
approximately $597.50 per soul.
Church leaders this year are urging
unprecedented effort to increase the
number of souls reclaimed. Dr. Luther
E. Lovejoy, lcader of the Metho
dist Episcopal church’s drive for sys
tematicaliy increased contributions,
points out the inadequacy of present
contributions. 1
“The average American gives but
a fraction more for religious purposes
than his grandfather gave,” he de
clares. “In some churches the average
member pays his pastor only a cent a
week more than his father paid 30
yvears ago. For missions and benev
olences, representing the world pro
gram of the church, we average per
capita gifts of less than a two-cent
postage stamp a day.” &
GIGANTIC LILY BLOOMS
COVER AN ENTIRE LAKE
Blossoms Six and a Half Feet Across
Bloom at Roman Gates. |
The largest Egyptian water lil_v,l
“Nelumbium,” is now grown in the
small lake in the Villa Doria Pamphili, |
just outside the San Pancrazio gate.l
It covers the whole surface of the‘
water, leaving only a small space for!
a rowboat to get about.
The leaves of this wonderfully
graceful water lily are six feet and a
half in circumference, while the flow
ers are equally large, says the New!
York Tribune. In some places the
leaves tower above the ordinary sized
woman, while the whole surface is
covered with pink and white flowers.
The villa belongs to Prince Doria
Pamphili, a descendant of Prince Cam
ille Pamphili, who, in the seventeenth
century, had the beautiful garden
made.
