BULGARIA ENTERS GREAT EUROPEAN CONFLICT % TEUTONS STRIKE FROM SOUTH, JSl'LUAKS MWJL tASl. Premier of Greece Announces That Slie Will Continue in Armed Neutrality. London, Oct. 12.?Servia is being at. attacked from the north and the east. The Austro-Germans, after capturing Belgrade and Semendria, are advancing southward, while the Bulgarians are trying to interrupt communications north and south of Xish, Servia's wartime capital, and to attack the Servians on the flank of they are driven back toy t>e German Field Marshal >von Mackensen. The situation is admitted to be serious, not only for Servia but for the whole allies' cause. It is asserted that the Servians are inflicting heavy losses both on the Austro-Germans and Bulgarians, but with their army of about 250,000 men they are believed to have little chance of making any prolonged resistance against 300,000 or 400,000 Austro-Germans and probably 200,000 Bulgarians. They are arranging for the transfer of the capital to Monastir, in the extreme southwestern corner of the kingdom. Greece Stands Aloof. Greece apparently has decided to ignore the treaty under which she is supposed to go to the assistance of her Servian alLy in case of an attack. Premier Zaimis said, when notified of the Bulgarian attack, that Greece "remains in a position of armed neutrality." The quadruple entente has decided to take energetic action. As soon as news 02 the Bulgarian attack on Servia was received in London the Bulgarian minister was handed his passports, and * "tT-?- ~ ^ r,T?AW T CkT? 1 fVl ?? Ltu VlVlttlll, LilC r 1 CUVU yi ^Lin\.x, iu chamber of deputies today, declared than France, Great Britain and Russia had decided to take joint action tomorrow. "Russian troops will be fighting by the side of outs." An Anglo-French force is known to be landing at Saloniki, but there is considerable speculation as to where Russia will enter the Balkan conflict. It is reported that Grand Duke Nicholas is to command the Russian Balkan army, which, it is believed in military circles here, would make the Bulgarian people less willing to tight against Russia, there being a deep iveneration among the Bulgarian peasant for the emnprnr r>f Russia arid his familv. Italy Can't Help. It is understood that Italy has decided not to co-operate with the allies in the Balkans, the Italian government believing that troops can not be spared for any campaign other than that in Trentino and Trieste. Now that Austria and Germany have entered on their Balkan enterprise, which is interpreted as the first step towards an endeavor to get a German empire in the Near East, there can be no drawing back, but the allies hope that with a vigorous offensive both on the East and West they at least can prevent the sending of any large reinforcements to von Mackensen. The French in both the Champagne and Artois regions of France are continuing their offensive, but not on the scale of the recent attacks. The British, after their success in repelling the his: German attacks, are preparing for another move, but at what point only the commanding generals know. Now that they have started, it is believed here that the British and French on the (Western line will give the Germans no rest. Russians: Hard Hit, It is much the same on the Eastern front. The Austro-Germans having brought their offensive to an end, ex cept in the region of Dvinsk,.the Russians have recuperated wonderfully and'are striking hack. The Germans claim another success west of Dvinsk, but they still are fighting west of Illoukst. They also announce that Russian counterattacks have been repulsed south of the Pripet river in Yolhynia and in Galicia. The Russians seemingly have entirely regained the initiative, especially in Galicia. Here Petrograd reports a Russian victonv on the Striua. The Russian offensive on the front started several weeks ago Vh"?n successes were won at Tarnopol Jand Trembola. Austro-German reinforcements were Tushed up and hard"' arid incessant fighting has taken place since. Gen. Count von Bothmer commands the Austro-Germans in this sector, and the German official report of today says that the position of the "German troops" with him is unchanged.

I IB I ?T THE TENWT SYSTEM. I t Kepresentative (irayden Says State Should Help Its Citizens to Become Laud Owners. i Kriitnr Greenville Dailv Piedmont: J Several days ago you had a thought ful article about the tenant system in ; this State. You are along the right ; line, and 1 hope you will keep up tv2 1 agitation. For many years we have 1 heard the politicians appealing to the ' "common people," as they like to call ' them, and promising all sorts of good things, if the people would only vote for them. Yet, with the white people in control of the government since 1876, not a single measure has e.er been put I forward to remedy the greatest evil that exists today in our State. With millions of unimproved land, with ! thousands of tenants that ought to be landowners, we go on from year to year and generation to generation and do not lift our hands to remedy this condition. Last winter I introduced a ; bill in the house of representatives | looking to having the State assist our tenant class of people to become land owners. 1 got no help from the newspapers, and but scant help in the house of representatives. Upon the motion of a member of the Greenville delegation the enacting words of the bill were stricken out by a vote of 64 to. 42. Three of the Greenville delegation voted to kill the bill, two did not vote and one 'voted in favor of the bill. The objection urged against the bill was that it would lead to graft, because it created a State land commission. I urged the gentlemen who were opposed to the bill to amend it or perfect it in any way that they saw fit, but they would have none of it. How do we expect our citizens to attain to the greatest development unless they are land holders? How do we expect to build up the waste places in our State unless the people have some incentive to make them build? Statics show that land holdings among the negroes are increasing and iamone the whites decreasing. If this ! process goes on for the next 50 years where will our boasted white supremacy be? Yet your politicians and statesmen (God save the mark) sit supine!;;.' down and when a measure is proposed to remedy the evil content themselves with saying that it will lead to graft. There are thousands of white men in South Carolina who would be glad | to embrace the opportunity of buying | land if the State would but hold out a j helping hand. Why should not the ! State assist its citizens to Tduv land and thus conduce to the general good? We spend millions of dollars to educate the people and thus improve their minds. Why should we not spend something to help them to improve 'heir living condition? Any State or county where the land is owned by a few of its people is in a deplorable condition. Witness Ireland of today and we see a vast differi ence. There is no more important subject before the people today than the question of what can we do to remedy the tenant system. We need statesmen to handle this proposition, not politicians. Keep up the agitation on this subject and your paper will not have been founded in vain. W. N.

At prices to farmers prevailing October 1 the corn crop is worth $2, 133.000,000. Wheat prospects increased as the j growing season progressed, and the government's early season forecasts moved up month by month so that toi day's preliminary estimate was placed at 1,002,029,000 bushels. Wet weather at harvest time, however, reduced the ' Quality of winter wheat so that much of it will be available only for feed. ' At prices prevailing October 1, the farm value of the crop is $910,644,000, considerably more than ever was paid for a wheat crop. I September weather was particularly destructive to potatoes, causing a reduction of 37,558,000 bushels or 10 per cent in the forecast of production. ; Tobacco also suffered from unfavorable conditions, which caused a decrease of 21,345,000 pounds in the proj duction forecast. Tobacco, however, i promises to exceed the record crop of 1909 by 43,000,000 pounds. i Oats will exceed the record crop oi ; 1912 by almost 100,000,000 bushels, ; Barley will exceed its record by 13,[000,000 bushels; rice by 500,000 bushels and hay by 8,000,000 tons.

Perhaps "nobody loves a fat man," irtit it is a settled bit of physiological philosophy that the emaciated man or woman rarely is overburdened with ^ -aptness because of that condition. A gain in flesh is a mark of an ini prov^a pnysicai conaiuon ana a narbinger of a better disposition; and to bring about that gain in weight, naturally and wholesomely, the functions j, and organs of the stomach must be at , their best. The experience of Miss Julia Ramsey of ?04 Seigle avenue, Charlotte, X. -C., is a striking one in this regard. . * Miss Ramsey has gained five pounds ^ and recently she told how Tanlac, the Master Medicine, that now is in the homes of so many people of this section as a tonic extraordinary, brought about the gain for her. j "T with stnmafh trmihlp " said Mi=s Ramsey. "Food that should have nourished me fermented instead, t and constantly formed gas. My tongue was coated. I suffered headaches and ./ absolutely had no appetite, because everything that I ate caused a sickening sensation. JThen' I read of Tanlac, and though I had tried several other remedies I heard Tanlac so highly recommended that I decided it might aid where others had failed. I gained five pounds in no time under the Tanlac treatment My appetite once more is good and I can eat anything without the former trouble appearing." ) "The story told by Miss Ramsey is one that is repeated by men and "women in every section of the country j who have been benefited by Tanlas, said F. W. Galyon, State agent, who B now is demonstrating the Premier Preparation in Columbia at WingSeld's ^ J Drug Store. In further discussing the reasons why Tanlac so rapidly is gaining in popular favor Mr. Galyon said: "The ingredients or medicinal elements which compose Tanlas come from many remote sections of the earth, the Alps, Appenines, Pyrenees, Russia, Asia, Europe, Jamaica, Brazil, West Indies, Mountain States, near the Rocky Mountains, Asia Minor, Persia. India. Russia. Ensland. France. ' Germany, Mexico, Colombia and Peru are among the points from which the ) ; principal properties of this remarkable I preparation are obtained.
