The long skirts have not met with any favor and one sees them only in the shop windows?the short ones were so pretty, and so very comfortable that women have decided to take .things ;n their own hands and repudiate the long, sweeping, ugly garments. Anyway, the new plaited skirtr, even if they are long, are beautiful end come in a variety of alluring pat~ terns, and it is so easy to cut them <-u wie ngm lengin. vTOCK8 ol wool, I serge and crepe de chine, made in the' youthful modes are irresistible and navy hlue is the favorite color with gay trimmings of beads, buckles and oriental effects.

London, Oct. 10 (By the Associated Press).?The question of peace in the Near East now rests with the Turkish Nationalist Assembly at Angora, which has before it the armistice conditions laid down by the Allied powers. Meanwhile the Mudania conference has been adjourned and the _ Allied generals have returned to headquarters at Constantinople to await the Turkish decision. The Allied terms include the withdrawal of Turkish troops to neutral zones, the limitation of the number of Turkish gendarmes in eastern Thrace and the non occupation of that province by the Turks until the peace treaty is signed.

Press).?An allied military mission has arrived here and will spend three days before proceeding to visit the countryside by automo bile. The mission consists of three officers, French, British and Italian and the chairman is a French colonel, Dufoulan, by virtue of seniority. The commfssion's errand as defined by the allied high commissioners is to reassure the population, ifivcstigate alleged excesses, prevent disturbances and report auy evidence of incendiarism, pillaging or unreasonable requisitioning. Similar missions have arrived in the past week at Rodosto and Luleburgas. Adrianople gave the delegates a rather cool deception as the opinion is that they were sent at the request of the Kemalist to gqther evidence which will be chiefly useful to the Turks. It was even reported that, the Athens government had formally re quested the allies- to withdraw the mission. Nevertheless, the local officials granted the delegates every facility. The populace, while distinctly hostile to the French and neutral toward the Italian member, was exceedingly friendly to the British representative, a younthful airman who is accompanied by two red capped stalwarts in the uniform of the British military police. Greek soldiers everywhere salute punctiliously the British captain, but ignore the French and Italian officers. The first act of the mission after formal calls on the local officials was to visit the religious leaders of all sects, and during the evening the mission conferred with various local leaders representing different parties and groups. The impression gained was that the mission's arrival was ri&ftst opportune, as local feeling is tense and trouble is brewing, which the mere presence of . the foreign delegates would do ipuch to restrain. Nearly all classes aire inclined ;to deplore the plan tot Tufkish reentry, even many the old capitai of the Turkish qmpire, they nevertheless shook their heads gravel^ over the probable disturbance of commercial and civil life, which only recently has been coming back to normal. The Greeks and Armenians pointed out the absolute necessity of large allied forces for the supervision of any turnover in order to prevent racial and religious animosities from developing into massacres and incendiarism. The mission is convinced that no assurances by the allies would prevent an enormous refugee exodus, which has already begun across the frontiers in Bulgaria and Macedonia. The presence of allied detachments may hold this exodus to lesser proportions but can not entirely reassure the Christian populations. Moreover, there is a demand that such allied detachments remain for a reasonable period after the Turks are installed. Meanwhile, military preparations for resistance continue on all sides, and the mission would not be surprised at the appearance of a movement for an autonomous state in Eastern Thrace.

' 1 MURDER CHARGES AGAINST ELEVEN Florence, Ost. 9.?Six of seven indictments returned by the grand jury in the court of sessions for Florence county, which convened today, were for murder. John McClam and Morris Pearce are the only white men under indictment for murder, the rest being negroes. McClam is charged with stabbing fils nephew, Colon McClaim, to death, and Pearce is charged with shooting u negro to death on the streets of Timmonsville. The six cases noted, with Ave brought over from a previous term of court, make eleven murder cases on the docket for trial at this term. It is not likely that nearly all of them will eb reached. Francis H. Weston, former district attorney for the Eastern district of the United States court, is acting as special judge for the Florence court. He made a splendid charge to the grand jury in which he declared that this state is in the throes of a lawless period arid said that it was the udty of every citizen to help remedy these conditions. Law and order, wi^h especial reference to murder and the violation of the prohibition laws, was the essence of his charge. Most of the time of the court was taken up today in organizing. The session will last a week. Bond Issue Election Is Found Defective October 10. 1922. To the Citizens of Union: At the last session of the Legislature an Act was passed authorizing an election in the City of Union for the purpose of determining whether an issue of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($150,000.00) in bonds should be floated for the purpose of improving the streets, and naming a Commission to have the work done, etc. In due course, the election was held, and by a large majority, it y^as decided to issue the with the election, but on the day following the election, the Mayor notified me that the election had carried. In due course, the Commission met and organized bv the election of Emslie Nicholson, Chairman, and J. F. Cheek, Secretary, and the Commission then took steps toward etrf^ ploying an Engineer, advertising the bonds for sale, and letting the contract for the work. On the day advertised for the sale of the bonds, a satisfactory price was not received, and all the bids were rejected. Since that time, the Commission has had a great deal of correspondence with various bond dealers, endeavoring to get a fair price for the bonds, and at last, having obtained the proposition, they submitted papers for the approval of their Attorney. After much correspondence it develops that there was a defect in that n signed petition from the majority of the freeholders was not presented to the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Union, asking for the election. The Constitution of the State requires that that should have been done, an 1 it is impossible to correct the defect except by obtaining such a petition and having the City Council order another election. At a meeting of the City Council, held on the afternoon of the 0th of October, these facts were presented, and by a resolution unanimously carried, they decided to have prepared and presented to the freeholders, a petition for another election, and the petition being signed by a majority of the freeholders and presented to the City Council, that they would order another election. The Commission has, in the meantime, awarded the contract fo the Southern Paving & Contracting Co. for the improvement of the streets, and they are now just about ready to begin the work. The delay was caused by the embargoes on the railroads, and the impossibility of getting the necessary material and machinery until very recently. The Commissions regrets exceedingly that there should have been any defect in the previous election, but as ihAir Via J vt/\f kin M in /l/\ ? 1 fit 14 Ua??Imm nicjf iioy iiviwiiii^ w uv ivimi iv( iiavnipf only taken office after the election they do not feel that they should Lh blamed by the public for the present situation. The Commission feels, however, that this full explanation is d-i* to the public. Yours very truly, Emslie Nicholson.

LLOYD GEORGE OUTLINES POSITION Ix>ndon, Oct. 9 (By the Assoc in it d Press).?The government tonight issued a deport on the conference which the labor deputations had with Premier Lloyd George on September 21, hitherto kept secret. The prime minister, in replying to the deputation's "stop the war" protests, the report indicates, devoted his speech niain.y to proving that he government policy had been identical with that long auvocated by the Labor party, namely, maintenance of the freedom of the straits under control of the league of nations, and that the subject populations in Anatolia could not be left under control of the Turks. But he regretted that this policy became impossible because the United States, France and Italy had declined to undertake the necessary mandates in these rejrions. The prime minister argued that under the Angora pact the position of the straits would be the same as it was in 1914, when the Turks closed the straits; therefore even control by the league of nations would be useless unless an adequate force was planted there by the league to see that the straits were kept free. He said the Kemalists had given no undertaking to do anything more than prafler a verbal guarantee of the freedom of the straits and "you . an not defend the straits by launching a covenant, in the face of those trving to force them.' Lloyd George points out that refusal to refer the matter to the league of nations came front others, not England. Asked whether freedom of the straits meant fortifications in the hands of some international body, the premier replied that, would be for the league to decide. He also admitted that there should not be interference with the straits either by Great Britain or any other nation. "Otherwise, ' he added, "that is not internationalization." On the general question the prime minister reiterated that the government policy was to prevent the war from spreading into Europe and ?e contended that the strong measures the government had already taken and inUmdfMl to Continue tn to Wo moro tbo nMNMis-of-inevBiition. -w . ?. IJoyd George denied that the British government had ever gi.en either money or arms to the Greeks; on the contrary it had warned them that if they went to Smyrna that they were going "entirely on their own responsibility and at their own expense.'' They were told also?"we can not suport you or take the responsibility." The premier said all he was now doing was to treat the Turks and Greeks alike in regard to the neutral /ones which the British were holding for the allies and it was imperative until a peace conference was held to prevent war from spreading to Cu rope. His final remark to the deputation was: "The one chance of stopping the war is for Kemal to know that we are ret going to be turned out of the straits. If he knows that he won't v? there. If he believes that our nation is divided and that he is getting encouragement to go on he will be veiy 'ikely to pursue a warlike policy." PERSONAL MENTION Mr. and Mrs. G. C.
