Tin* Balkan Situation.

in the Baikal Teuton^ states
?Q won out.

Jnn u common cause With Serbia,
reec-e, and Itoumania as long um those
itlous retained t lie booty they gain
j #t the dose of the second Iiaikan
|r It will he remembered that Bul
iria, Serbia, and Greece defeated
Oft? In the first war, and in this
it the Bulgarian troops did the ma
ir iiart of the fighting. At Lule J*ur
Adrlanople, Kirk Killesh, and
ther points, the .impetuoua Bulgars
efeateii the Turks, and this success
ul overland . campaign on Constanti
bplc caused peace to la* made.
When the treaty was signed a dlf
srenee arose between the three nllies
k to the distribution of the spoils
edd Py Tifrkey. It seems that pre
ious to the outbreak of the war Ser
fs, Orene. and IiulKaria had agreed
hat the 'larger portion of Macedonia
ras to be given' to Bulgurla, while
lerliiu was to seek territorial com
ttisntlon further west. ?When the
rorbl nations blocked the Serbian
leve lty creating Albania an lndepend
ot state, Serbia became dissatisfied
ad demanded a redivlslon. This led
:o War. and Oreecfc aided Serbia,
bomanla. which had been netitral in
be first war, now seized the liorth
eastern part of Bulgaria, and Turkey
regained part of the land alio had Juat
*ei/,e<l. Bulgaria wus entirely out
numbered and utterly at the mercy of
her ra venous assailants.
Hi nee that time Bulgaria's frank at
titude lata been ^ue looking towardH
regaining these territories which "vfrere
Huatched away from her after her
sons had home the brunt of a vigor
ous war against Turkey. For thin rea- ?
son when the Allies promised a Balkan
league against Turkey and Auatrla In
the present war Bulgaria demanded
ns the first condition that the nations
make go<Kl the territory they had tak
en, and until then she announced, she
would not Joiy any concerted action, i
Roumanla edrly declared her willing- 1
ness to cede the territory she took,
and lately Serbia agreed to partially
leturn the Macedonian region she
seized, hut Greece has made no offer,
and the Bulgarians considered Serbia's
return insufficient.
Being a pro-German attitude from
the first, it was not such a difficult
piece of work for . the German diplo
mats to prevent Bulgaria, joining
rhands with the Allies. This Is impor
tant, for as long as Bulgaria remains
friendly to Turkey and hpr Teutonic
allies an overland, advance upon Con
stantinople can not 1h? made. The
Teutonic diplomacy of late has been
directed more toward securing the ac
tive participation of Bulgaria into the
war, and whether this has l>een secur
ed or not it is too early to say. Mob
ilization indicates this, although the
calling of the troops together may be
merely to preserve a friendly neutral
ity with those powers and not to ac
tively assist them ?' Orangeburg Times

Tile holders of the estate, under both
of the wills brought witnesses Into the
probate court to sustain their conten
tion ami to refute the evidence of the
opi>osliig parties. A number of hear
ings were had before the probate
Judge, witnesses after witnesses testi
fying for and. in behalf of the several
parties; and it wan not until January
HO, 1W15, that Judge Drafts reached
his decision, setting aside , the .alleged
last instrument ui>on the ground that
Mrs. lVrry was not capacitated at the
time <>f the execution of the last al
leged paper.
The claimants under the last alleged
paper appealed to the circuit court
and the appeal came on to he hoard
before Judge Frank B. Gary at the
June term of court this year, when
arguments of counsel were heard. It
is understood that the attorneys for
the claimants under the alleged last
will will now appeal to the state su
preme court from the decision of
Judge Gary. It will take some time
to perfect the pa|>ers.
The estate, it . is said, is worth in
the neighborhood of $15,000, besides
some $8,000 or $5,000 now on deposit
in one of the banks of Hatesburg to
the credit of the judge of probate,
pending a tinal settlement of the case.
How to Prevent War.
The Fort Mill Times Invents a
Kcheme to stop. the war. "Let's pass
u law" says The 'Times. "requiring the
mjllionaircs to form the tlrst line of
defense * * * then they could prompt
ly huy off the enelny and we wouldn't
have to tight." (*oo<l scheme, but a
former Dillon business man goes The
Times one better, lie has a scheme
that will prevent war. Talking with
the editor of The Herald some months
ago he said : "Let's prevent war by
reversing the rules of warfare and
forming our lines of battle in this
manner: Kings, emperors and presi
dents first ; diplomats and confidential
a gen ts : second ; cabinet members, sen
ators and congressmen third; bankers
and manufacturers fourth, then pay
the laboring classes their usual wages
to stay at home and make supplies for
the army." This plan, thinks tills
clear-thinking gentleman, will put a
stop to the wars, and we believe lie is
right.-*-? Dillon Herald.
In The Garden of Eden.
The battle ground in Egypt, where
the British forces are opposing the
Turks is. the site which archeoligists
claim to lie the spot where tin? Gar
den of Eden existed countless centu
ries ago. The exact ]Kisition lies be
tween AnmVh and Mitt, on the upper
l'/Upliraties, which is now the center
of .the- Turko-Rrltlsli struggle. The
former home of Adam and Eve re
sounds to the roar of howitzers and.
t lie tramp of armed men.
Many sacred scenes of. Bible history
nre involved in the British campaign
against the Turks In Palestine. One
of the most sacred lakes in the world,
the Sea of Gemiesaret, or the Lake of
fiaUlIfee; is in the war zone. it lies
not far from Nazareth, and It was
from it that BE Pet e^' and the fisher
men of the country gathered their live
lihood. Here vwas also the town of
Capernaum, famous for its miracle rec
ords.
The hills around Nazareth are now
foriffled by the Turks, and the sa<Ted
nilns of Capernaum are .threatened by
mines and air bombs.
The sites where Moses received the
T< n Commandments and where all the
stirring events of the Israelite wan
derings in the wilderness occurred have
<een the horrors of war. The Turks
are conducting their campaign with Ut
ter indifference to the claims of sacred
buildings and territory to be spared

TIIE COW AND HER PRODUCT.
Clemson College Weekly Notes For
Farmer and Dairyman.
(These notes nre prepared weekly
l>y the. Dairy Division of Clemson Col
lege which will he gTad to answer any
questions pertaining to dairying.)
The Babcok test was first announced
t<? the world in 1890.
The greatest source of infection in
milk comes from the body of the ani
mal and the air of the stable.
? Anything that will make it easier to
clean the stable Will aid in the produc
tion of pure milk.
The concrete floor is by long odds tlie
most sanitary for a dairy barn and
should be" used wherever possible. .
In building a dairy barn, remember
that one is providing ii place where
human food is to be produced.
IOarly breeding stunts growth. Heif
ers should be bred to drop their calves
when about two years old or older. " ,
As a rule, It is desirable to have
cows go dry at leant a month before
calving. This has a beneficial effect
on ihi! calf.
"**' "Dehorning IS'ff good practice. It
makes cows quiet, and . docile and fyives
tliem much pain that may 1k? inflicted
when horns are retained.
Dairy cows have little spare flesh to
protect, them from the cold. Comfort
able housing in winter Is, therefore,
very iiu|>ortairt.
The liquid manure of a eow is much
moro valuable than the solid. It can
be saved by having water-tight floor
ing and clean straw bedding. .
Using the milk scales Is one "weigh"
.toward dairy success.
v Sklmmilk makes pork, veal, .and;
poultry of a high grade.
\ There is practically no food quite
so generally wholesome as pure milk.
In planning a dairy barn, allow not
less than foujj? square feet of light
space for eaeh ^<>w.
Try to have the cows" calve in fall
rather than In spring. There are
many advantages In this.
Never trifle with a bull. Treat him
gently, but treat him firmly. I^et him
have no doubt that you are his master.
Cows, while In heat, should be kept
set >a rate -from the rest of 4 lu* herd.
This will avoid disturbances.
The manure spreader has the double
advantage of paying, for itself In sav
ing, of labor and insuring an even dis
tribution of manure' on a field.
Overfeeding, lack of exercise, Im
pure alr^ constipation, and drinking
cold water are probably th? moat com
mon cause# of milk fever.
