FclKo;- Abdicated Ur.cci* Pvc:< F- in All 23 in 1017. ! A th:rs, Oct. 2 5 ?I!y thc A -co-' ciaicd Press).?King Alexander of Orcoc? died at 5:20 p. m. today. His iJcri*h was ('Lie to wound.i received v. hen a pe; monkey attacked him early in October, the king being badly mutilated. 7k" cash cut last night the h?art action grew weaker, his general debility became more pronounced and pv.imonavy ryrnploms were intense. Prcr.thing at timer, was most difficult and alarming and at noon todry it was ca'd that the king's condition was horele-s. A:c::r-~.icr nucceeded to the throne in .iu'.e, 1^17, wh?n his i. . Ccu >;antine. abdicated , ; v-. jc* the- Jeaiand of France,. : -c-at Uritair and Russia, the three P ewers which had guaranteed the: constitutional liberties of the Greek j people. Alexander was the second! son of Constantino and at the time j of his accession was not quite 24 years eld. His elder brother, Crcwn Prince George, was considered in- j eligible for the throne because oft ? i alleged pro-German sympathies. In any event, King Constantino I nominated Alexander to succeed .Vm? The fall of Ccnstantiae had t:een brought c-bcut through ti*e agency of; the rYoneh senator, M. Jonnart, who' went to Athens in June, 1917, rs a! representative cl the three great j pewers. cn the ground thai; this :tep ! would establish unity of feeling; r.r:on.t the Greekr' and greater S2cur-j ity for the entente forces then oner-: r.tir.g in the East. Constantino h?.d. bee:: accused of pro-German synrpa-j thies partly on account of his mar- j riage to the Princess Sophie, sifter of the then Emperor William of Ger-. many, and it also was charged that; he had not acted honorably toward | the allies. Alexander, on the other: hand, was reported to be free from! pro-German pncKvities. Constantino left Athens and took' up his residence in Switzerland. Alexander took the oath of office j at Athens in August, 1017, and prom-1 ired to carry out the policy of his: father. This was said to have snook-j ed the entente powers. It soon was reported that he' was at odds with j Premier Veni:<elos and had refused to abandon his idea of continuing his! father's program. Some dcubts were; railed as to the advisability of per-; mitting him to assume the throne i unless he discontinued what wasj characterized as an obstructive pol-j icy. Reports of lack of harmony between Alexander and Venizelos ware circulated in the spring- of 1920 but the premier disposed of these in a statement in which he paid tribute to the king's patriotism. One respect i in which the king and his premier' were said to have been at odds was j over the king's morganatic marriage j to Mile. Manos.. daughter of a for-; mer aide de camp to his father, which j is said to hove taken place in No-i vember, 1919. No record of the mar- j riagevwas obtainable owing to the; fnrt. that it was not recorded with J the metropolitan cf Athens, the su-j preme ecclesiastic authority of' Greece. The young king and his morgan-1 atic wife were childhood friends and J sweethearts. Alexander asserted | that he had a right to marry whom- { ever he pleased and took his bride i to the palace in Athens. This aroused j a storm of discussion, which so displeased his wife that in the early part of J 920 she went with her moth-! ; er and sister to live in Paris, and j Alexander visited her there in the following May. It was announced! that the Greek constitution did not! grant him permission to enter upon; * . t . l the morganatic marriage, and rnai; action by the Greek parliament would j be necessary to determine whether; Mile.1 Manos could become queen of I Greece or remain the king's of*! ficial consort. Alexander's refusal to give up Jiis wife was said to have' greatly worried Venizelos and there j were reports that the king would notj return to Greece. He did so, however, j Dead Monkey's Bite and witnessed Greek operations in Ihrace in the summer of 1920, enIcAr.g Adriarople, which had' been zr.i rendered to the Greek troops, amid r. gie.it demonstration. The death of King Alexander gives rise to the question of succession to the Greek throne. Former King Constantine was reported, ac- * cording to Swiss dispatches of October 17, as intending to take advantage of the situation created by his sen's grave illr.ezs by returning o Greece and claiming the throne. About the seme time a regency war, suggested, and Constantine gave ' . cpinion of this ss follows: "Sufficient ur.to the day is the evil thereof. I will not think of a recency vet. My plans are those of ry people." \;.*? ? C?v.^o,r 1oc+ /' ''I' IUI" 'V VJil UUHU.O.J la^u 'jxnresseJ h! v.-elf as confident that Prince .Raul, Const2ntine's third son, .rculd rot be prevented from taking the throne by his father, as the latter would learn from the coming elections that there was no prospect for his return. Both Prince Arthur of Connaught and Prince Charles of Belgium have been mentioned as possible candi/-icfnc fnr flip Orp.ek throne- but Premier Venizelos has sa'd that foreign candidates were not being considered. ' Y It is probable that the old chamber will be reconvened owing to the kind's desth to consider -what steps are to be taker, before the.ijew ch^m- ' ber meets.

' <$> s v <$> <s> ><$><? <?'<?' ^ <?> ^^ <$><?><?> <?> Another thing wc do not understand is why the people who live in glass houses are the Ones who always cast the stones. There are numerous houses of glass in Newberry and each one has a large pile of stones. Glass house people ought not to throw stones, or fling them as Charleston folk would say; and the writer was born in that city but has forgotten how .to say "fling." The main reason why a glass house man or a glass house woman chunks the l'ttle rocks is that the skeletons in the closets are generally in the houses of glass and the occupants have to give vent to their misery. * r ~%i Vv
