Mr. Miller of Kichland made the . j.nt of order that a quorum was not pit sent, during a heated debate 011 \ av her a message from the governor >(m , be printed in the journal or referred to the committee 011 education 101 a report. The roll was called and \ G members answered "Here". A quorum of the House is G3 members. In the absence of .T. S. Wilson, the sorgeant-at-arms, Calhoun Mays of Mdgelield was appointed, with W. P. Tillinghast of Colum,bia, as his constable. The Houso instructed them to require the attendance of the absent members, and then adjourned at 2:55 p. m. The House convened at 2:07 p. m. A special message was received from the governor in regard to the magistrates' hill. Another special message from the governor was read which referred to the Peabody fund investigation and said that in the report signpiH h* thfi m*.1oHtv of the members of the special committee the whitewash brush had been used. This report was signed by Senators Young arid Weston and Representatives Welch and Nicholson. 'Mr. Ashley of Anderson, a member of the committee who mad? a separate report on the Peabody fund investigation, moved that the governor's message be received as information and printed in the journal To this motion Mr. Evans of Marlboro objected strenuously. He declared that the special message of the governor reflected on the members of the House who had signed the majority report of the committee. "I am unwilling to listen to any charge of dereliction in the duty preferred aga/inst any committee appointed by this House," said Mr. Evans. As a substitute for Mr. Ashley's motion, the member from Marlboro moved that the special Peabody fund *- * - 1 A. ?. iU ? ^ { 4 message oe reierreu iu iuo wuimii.tee on education for a report. A sharp colloquy between Mr. Ashley and Mr. Evans ensued. "Didn't the committee say the governor was mistaken?" asked Mr. Ashley, in reference to the report of the majority 011 the Peabody investigation. "I can not believe that the people of South Carolina elected 124 fools] to represent them in this House and one wise man to represent them as governor," answered 'Mr. Evans. Mr. Wyclie of Newberry said that the whole matter was "much ado about nothing," that the testimony of the witnesses at the investigation had been printed and that any one could form their own conclusions from it. He said, though, that he had no objection to referring the message to the committee 011 education. "I am willing to stay here another month rather than allow anything to be printed in the journal which reficcts upon a committee from this House, which has done its duty as it saw it," declared Mr. Evans. The pending question being wheth- j er the House would refer the governor's special message to a commit-1 tee or print it, Mr. Miller, at 2:40 p. m.. raised the point of no quorum. The roll was called and the following members answered to their names: Speaker Smith, Addy, J. \Vr. Ashley, M. J. Ashley, Barnwell, Belser, Bethea, Bowers, Brice, Busbee, Creech, Daniel, Dantzler, Dick, Evans, Former, Friday, Gasque, Harper, Hunter, Hutchison, Hutson, Johnston, Kelly, vKibler, Kirby, Liles, Bumpkin Lybrand McMillan, Martin, Massey, 'Miller, Mixson, Mower, O'Qufnn, Rembert, Riley, Sturkie, Vander Horst, Walker, Wilburn, C.

When the senate reconvened Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock with about a dozen senators in their seats threo messages were received from the governor. Two of these, one having to do with the magistrates'bill and the other with the Mitchel investigation, wore received as information and ordered printed in the journal. The third was considered In executive session. Senator Young, as a member of the Mitchell investigating committee, resented what the governor had to say in his message in this connection. "I dare the governor, or any other man in South Carolina, to put his hand on any item in the committee's report showing that Dr. Mitchell or any member of the board of trustees * PRAISE WILSON HIGHLY PAY TRIBUTE TO LOFTY TONE OF IUS ADDRESS ? But Soem to Think He May Not he Able to Translate His Idealism Into Ideas. While paying a tribute of admiration to the earnest and lofty tone of President Woodrovv Wilson's address the London morning papers express doubt that he will succeed in translating it into practical politics. The Daily Telegraph says: "President Wilson has plucked the string of pure idealism whose sound may be pleasant in the ears of his countrymen. But ff congress is to join in the work of reform it will probably be in In i?Tr??ist fillip m n VPiiion tfi ill the nation itself rather than in defat 9:30 o'clock that the case would proceed. A number of attorneys were in court to appear for the State and defense. With R. L. Gunter, solicitor, were associated R. H. Welch of Columbia, B. W. Miley and J. II. Kirk land of Bamberg. Maytield &. Free of Bamberg and P. T. Hildebrand of Orangeburg, solicitor of the First judicial circuit, represented the defense. One hour and thirty minutes was consumed in the drawing of the jury. The venire was exhausted and an extra veniro summoned. The first of the extra veniremen to be presented to the bar was accepted and the panel was completed as follows: J. D. Saiulifer, G. W. Bessinger, J. G. Kinsey, A. PI. Patrick, J. A. Gillam, II. S. Kearse, C. C. Elzey, J. F. Staley, P. E. Jennings, J. 'B. Brickie, A. R. Dempsey, A. H. Kirsch. The defense o.bjected peremptorily to eight jurors and the State to five. Nine jurors were excused by the court on account of relationship with those concerned in the case, and three when they announced that they had expressed an opinion in regard erence to the desires expressed by the president. Whatever happens, i however, his presidental term is cer tain to be a remarkable and vivid period in the modern development of the United States." The 'Morning Post says: "It remains to be seen whether President Wilson is a great statesman. But at least it may be said that his address is no less remarkable because not pugnacious. It strikes a new note in American policies, which over here is called social reform." The Graphic says: "Every thoughtful man will wish the president good luck. Echoes of his noble address will bring to this old world of ours, in its mad pursuit, intentional uncharitableness and bloated schemes of military holocaust, a welcome message of better things and manlier striving." "The United States must be heartily congratulated upon having such a true Democrat and such a fearless statesman at its head," says The Daily Chronicle, "and when some' of the greatest nations seemed to be making a moGkery of humanity his clarion call should echo far beyond the American shores." The Daily News says : "President Wilson has set up a fine ideal and, like a brave and upright man, has delivered himself into the hands of the judges by giving them a measure by which to test his loyalty to his country and his fitness to undertake it." The Express describes Mr. Wilson's address as that of an academic professor called upon to deal with practical politics, full of noble sound, but difficult to tell what it may signify. The Daily Mail thinks the president's address conveys a somewhat foo black impression of modern American life and conditions. "It deals chiefly in generalities," says the paper, "and makes no very specific proposals. But one fact appears clearly?that the era of free competition is ended in America and the day of government control of industry is at hand." Referring to the difficult task before President Wilson The Mail expresses the fear that foreign compli (rations, such as Mexico, may hinder internal reforms. ? ? + Blcase Turns Two Boose. The Governor paroled the following prisoners Wednesday: Edward White, convicted of murder in Richland county, in 1899, and sentenced to life imprisonment. Dave Richardson, convicted of larceny in Richland county at the summer term of court in 1910 and sentenced to servo five years in the penitentiary. ? ? . Paroled During Good Behavior. The governor Monday paroled during good behavior, Charles N. Pearman, white, convicted of manslaughter in Abbeville county in 1911, and sentenced to serve three years in the penitentiary. Pearman killed Campbell Nance. Judge George W. Gage sentenced Pearman. or student body or alumni of the university attempted in any way to divert money from Winthrop," said Senator Young. Senator Young called attention to the fact that the Peabody fund In its Inciplency provided for the education of negroes. The Senate cleared the desk, but Inasmuch as the House adjourned until 10 o'clock Friday the upper branch was forced to follow suit. AFTER LONG SEIBE ? GREEK ARMY WINS BIG VICTOR) OVER TURKS CITY OF JANINA FALLS Thirty-two Thousand Prisoners Taken When Turkisli Stronghold, Valiantly Defended for Months, Finally Surrenders after Continuous liom* bardment of Two Days and Night. The Turkish fortress of Janina, key to the possession of Epirus Province, with its garrison of 32,000 men, surrendered to the Greek army Thursday after a defence which stands out as one of the most brilliant episodes of the Balkan war. The surrender was preceded by a tierce bombardment continuing two uays and nights. Every available gun, including heavy Howitzers lent by the Servian artillery, was brought to bear o nthe forts defending the beleagured city. Thirty thousand shells were fired by the Greek guns during the first day's cannonade. Gradually the Turkish batteries at Bizani, Monaliair, Sakni and elsewhere were silenced. The Greek commanders, ,by a feint, led the Turks to believe that their attack would be made from the right. As soon as the attention of the defenders had been districted the Greeks hurled large bodies of Infantry on to the Turkish left. The Ottoman troops utterly surprised, fell back in disorder. Batteries 011 the heights of iBizanl, the mainstay of the defence, had been unable to stand the pelting of the shells and were reduced to complete silence at 11 o'clock Wednesday morning. The Greeks pushed their forward movement during the afternoon and occupied the Turkish batteries on the Sakni and Elsas hills, capturing all the guns and 110 artillerymen. Then tho n roolf battalions Ernrluallv de ployed onto the plain in front of the city itself. The Turkish flight Immediately became general. Whole detachments succumbed to panic and joined in a mad race into the city. The Greek troops followed almost to the walls. With all the defending batteries in the hands of the Greeks and the Hellenic soldiers at the gates of Janina, Essad Pasha, Turkish commander, at six o'clock Thursday morning sent messengers to Crown Prince Constantine, of Greece, announcing the surrender of the city and all the troops under its command. The fall of Janina was announced by the Crown Prince to the Greek war office. Wild enthusiasm reigned in the streets of Athens on announcement of the news. All houses were decorated with flags. Excited people thronged the thoroughfares singing the Greek national anthem. The Greek advance on Janina began late in October. The Turks retired rapidly before their opponents and operations around the fortress opened about the beginning of December. The attack continued with varying success even during that period of the armistice to which the Greeks never rormany agrtseu. Several of the outlying forts fell before the Greek assaults and the attack on the principal fortifications was gradually pressed home. It was not known until Thursday morning how many Turkish troops were in the city, estimates of them i varying from 1 8,000 to 80,000 men. The populations numbered 2 2,000, mostly Greeks. The fortifications which at one time were considered strong were antiquated and could not resist modern cannon. Provisions throughout the siege had been plentiful, as Janina is a center of the grain trade. Premier Venizelos announced the victory in the Chamber of Deputies. All leaders of the opposition spoke, congratulating the Crown Prince and his mary on the brilliant achievements. A telegram was dispatched to the Crown Prince in behalf of the Government by the chamber expressive of the gratitude of the nation. At the close of the sitting the mem bcrs of the Cabinet and the Deputies, followed by cheering crowds, marched to the Cathedral, where a thanksgiving service was held. Negroes Murder Negroes. Two tragedies disturbed the peace of Charleston Wednesday night. Jno. Preston killed Hlossom Gadsden on ne-aufain street, and Elliott Hayes killed TiOe Singleton. All the parties are colored.

A dispatch from Mexico says Maj, Cardenas, who was in charge of the escort of Francisco 'Madero and Jose Pino Saurez on the day they were killed, was Tuesday promoted from the rural guard to the same rank in the reeular army. Major Cardenas, who was in command of the escort that assassinated Madero and Saurez in Mexico City, has been promoted by Huerta. Thii is the Mexican way of punishing murderers of helpleee prisoners. ;.if vs . I ( i CLASSIFIED COLUMN AND FARMERS EXCHANGE POULTRY AND BUGS. Duroc-Jerseye?Rich breeding, high quality.

Two small boys, Robert Bowers and Langley Street, of Chester, sons, respectively, of Ellis Bowers, a well known Lancaster contractor and builder, and Joseph Langley, a section railroad, were badly injured Tuesday afternoon by the explosion of a dynamite cap with which they were nlaving. The boys found this cap somewhere near the depot, and thinking to have some fun they applied a match to it. The explosion took place sooner than the youtns expected, and before they could get away. Bowers' right arm and side were terribly lacerated and otherwise wounded, while his companion, tho' not so seriously hurt, will bo in bed everal days from the effects of his injuries. ? ? SIXTY-SIX PERSONS DROWN. German Cruiser Rams and Sinks a Torpedo Iloat. Sixty-six men of tho crew of the German torpedo boat S-17 8 were drowned when the little vessel was rammed by tho cruiser Yorck in the North Sea Wednesday. Among the dead are the commander of the torpedo boat, Ldeut. Koch, and his first officer. The surgeon and engineer and fifteen men of the cre\^ were saved. The torpedo boat sank immediately. The S-178 with other destroyers was steaming from drill grounds. They attempted to dash through Intervals in a column of re-, turning warships. The S-178 was cut in half, its commander having inaccurately judged distances. Only 17 survivors were picked up by rescue boats sent from the fleet. + ?
