In th<? matter of the Hale of the opera house building for which bids wui'ti Invited last Friday, we under s.and there wvt4 two bids submitted for its purchase- one for $15,000, and another for $21,000. It II not known who the second parly wan representing, but we understand cnat Attorney L. T. Mills made the larger bid. Council was to have met last night to decide upon the mat ter, but owing to the absence of a member the meeting was postponed to some future date. Beveral bids for proponed sites for a new theatre and city hall were handed in on Lho name day, and it is expected council will first find out if a de sirable loccatlon can be secured be fore the sale is made. In the meantime it has brought about considerable discussion, sev eral being inclined to believe that j the removal of this building will hurt the business section below Rut ledge street. And too they have brought old "King llalgler," the weather vane who has done such faithful service in pointing the! way qf the wind for many years, claim ing that for hlstoriccal Treasons he should not be removed to other parts. Whether we get an opera house or not it is a fact rthat Camden goes steadily onward in the erec tion of new buildings ? something like $175,000 worth of construction being now under way. Despite the fact that we may lose old King Haigler we hope in the near future to see a halidsome new theatre building and city of fices. And perhaps ? A new commercial hotel. JUSTICE FOR GREECE. "Throughout the world Bulgaria has circulated graphic reports of tJ4e destitution and misery, existing in that cuontry, asking for alms. Furthermore, Bulgaria alleges that the armies of Greece, by plunder, murder and wanton destruction, are responsible for the imoverlshment of the territory. And even worse ? Bulgaria charges that the ferocity of the Greeks was" without paralel in iiie anna. s of barbarous cruelty} tha they tortured captives and slaugh te.ed non-combatarits by the thous ands and pillaged cities by scores. Circulars, pamphlets and statemen-ts to that effect have been and are be ing insistently distributed among all civilized nations ? and at the same time Bulgaria asks for alms. "Those who know national charac teristics or study hlBtory do not be lieve the tales. Greece is not a bar barous nation; she is the mother of civilization, and though the progress of the Occident and the despotism of the Turks have crushed the bold and gallant little nation, we fcnow that her people are not savages. Her history has been honorable, tra gic but glorious. And even during the war, Turkish papors published ut Constantinople commented upon tue humanity and courtesy shown by tne Greeks to captives and refugees. , "It is of official record that re- ; fugees fied from that territory al-'. lotted to Bulgaria after the war and sought safety in Greece. They knew what to expect from their new mas ters. As the leading Greek paper of New York, the Atlantis, says: ? 'The fiendish fury of -the Bulgar is peculiar to his race ? the Tartar, lie has no pla^e among European nations. He is of the same stock .is the Huns and the Vandals who overran Euope Like hte Tar- ? tar that he is, -the Bulgarian slew, when victorious, from sheer 1uBt of slaughter and national enthusiasm, and when defeated he raped, tortur ed and slew in sheer hysteria of re venge.' | *? i?e Atlantis declares that most of tho poverty and destitution in ? ulgaiia is due to the activity of brigands among their own people, ana a?so says': 'Why does not Bul g iria demand that the enormoua loo of war bo turned into the national v-.offerfl' for use in the present crisis instead of allowing it lo remain in I'.ie clu'chea of the officers and men? It is useless to reply that the spoil does not exist. What be came of the treasures taken from Hundreds of churches and inoSques, officially appropriated? The Atlantis cites quotations from Bulgarian newspapers nnd statesmen to show that the Bulgarian troops nCft only plundored their enomies, non-combatants, but even theljr^own countrymen. ^J.t also say^ bjr^wflj' of showing ^Thjk'TvSrp'H'^i^&l^iween t he Greeks nn<F f^^BVil^iCtWns, that 'When peace was d?clareed after the second Balkan war 128 refugees of four nationalities and three re ligions had already poured Into the Greek torrltory. . . Oncce within her borders Greece recceived and ^hel te ed the unfortunates who thus threw themselves upon her mercy. She gavo them ford, tents were r> o"ld?w'j literally. "cities of re ^H^onred tn tho land.' tTreeks are not trying to check the contributions that go to Bulgaria, or to divert them to her self.

JVftlfre than ten fiours was taken up Saturday aud Saturday night ih argument of the case and Ln the fudge's charge.. The state assed tor *dne of three verdicts- -first degree murder, second degree murder or manslaughter. The defense rested its case on the "unwritten law" and self defense, contending that Jetton shot in defense of hit* home, to save hit* eight months' bride from being assthilted by the physi cian, while he himself was being at tacked by the stronger man. The state insisted that Wooten waa not only an iutimate friend of the Jet tan family but present in the home that night by Invitation and that he attempted no wrong toward Mrs. ,eUon. Sympathizes with Jetton 3 pressed the opinion iu the court room that the Judge's charge favor ed the prosecution and went wild ?vth Joy when they heard him ac quitted. Jetton claimed that he killed the physician when he found him attacking Mrs: Jetton. Mrs. Jetton substantiated this statement In a dying statement Dr. Wooten t owed his innocence of evil-intent, lie stated that Mrs. Jetton had in ''ted him and his wife to oome to the Jetton home and see a new Jress, and that but for the incle nent weather on the evening of the shooting, Mrs. Wooten would have accompanied him. In a communication digned "Clt !zen" in another place in today's Chronicle he says: "Our hotel has gone, now the opera house and Ity hall. What neaft? Where will It atop?"

Innocence la lovely in the child, be cause in harmony with its nature; but our path in lifo Is not backward but onward, and virtue can never be the offspring of mere innocence. . If we are to progress In the knowledge of good, we must also progress , in the knowledge of evil. Every experience of eviljjfrtfigs its own tempt^tianr-aflrd jreeb e d^^rWTTiPvvhlch the evil i i< ( rfo nb^n totfan d tho temptations rcslat^'wlJl^be the value of the char acter into which the individual will develop. Innocence may be beautiful, but^xvp never be strong, while the wh le es sence of virtue lies in its strength to resist nnd power to endure. If the Innocence of childhood be replaced by the firm principles of integrity and honor, the loss will be really a great gain. It is only where tho know>edgo of ey<l is unattended by appreciation of its nnture, where temptations are yielded to and not resisted, that wo nre induced to grieve over the depart ure of that innocence which was bo beautiful in earlier years.
