The Revolutionary Movement tn Tur?
key.
A cable dispatch from London print?
ed In Wednesday morning's papers
announced that the leaders of the
Young Turk party will meet in Gene?
va about the end of the month to dis?
cuss the question of deposing the
present Sultan of Turkey, and. In the
event of an affirmative decision, to
select a successor. The publication
of this dispatch may serve to direct
attention to the fact that the present
movement In Turkey has been to a
large extent the result of meetings
held outslds the boundaries of Tur?
key Itself. An Interesting account of
some of these is givm in an article
contributed to the Independent of
August IS by Mundjl Bey, the Tur?
kish consul-general at New Ycrk.
This writer says that the his?
tory of the Young Turkish
party Is to be traced back to
the times of Sultan Abdul Asia, the
uncle of the present ruler of the Otto?
man empire. During his reign Prince
Mustaffa Pasll Pashi. who occupied
many Important pos'tlons in Turkey,
took with him to Purls a few bright
young Turks to be educated. They
soon imbibed western notions and
started a Turkish weekly to propagate
those Ideas among their compatriots
In Constantinople, it was to these
men. while still students at Paris, that
the phrase "Young Turks" was first
applied.
Sultan Abdul Aals was deposed la
slay, 1871, aad was succeeded by his
nephew, aturad V, who la turn was
deposed at the end of August la the
same year. The latter wae succeeded
by hie brother, Abdul Hamid U, the
present Sultan. la December of the
same year a new Constitution was
proclaimed, aad the first Parliament
chosen under it met la March of the
following year. This Parliament was
dlsssolved by the Sultan In February,
1S7I. From that time until the grant
of the oew Constitution, on July 24
last Turkey pasaed through some
very humiliating ?zperienoea. The
prestige of the nation was weakened,
abuses grew steadily greater, the peo?
ple languished In poverty and the
troops were badly paid. The Young
Turkish party became very active
^and began to smuggle revolutionary
publications Into the country* The
people became enlightened and a rev?
olution became Inevitable. The first
alarm call eame from Paris, where, in
December. 1907, representatives of the
revolutionary aad progressive parties
among the Turks, Armsnlans. Oreeks,
Bulgarians, Jews, Kurds and all other
subject nations of the Ottoman em?
pire assembled In a congress. The
participants pledged themselves to lay
aslds all racial strife, to unite against
ths tyranny of ths Sultan's absolute
monarchy, and to establish a consti?
tutional regime In Turney. To bring
about those results they decided upon
armed resistance, persuading officials
and police to resign under the exist?
ing regime, refusal to pay taxes, prop?
aganda tn the army so as to persuade
soldlere not to open fire on the people
or the revolutionists, and a general
Insurrection, other measures to he
adopted according to circumstances.
The presldsnt of this congress was
Prince Sebaheddtn Bey, a nephew of
the Sultan.
As the result of the work of the
Paris congress, secret workers went
Into Turkey and found many promi?
nent officials and mi Itary leaders
ready to welcome the call of the con?
gress and only waiting for an oppor?
tune moment to put Its recommenda?
tions Into effect Two of the military
leaden who- favored the revolution
were Enver Bey and Nlasl Bey. The
anniversary of the Sultan's accession
to the throne wae chosen as the date
for a coup d'etat and general Insur?
rection. The movement wae precipi?
tated by a recent visit of King Ed?
ward the Caar, when the Macedo?
nian question was up for considera?
tion, Ths revolutionists felt that the
loss of Macedonia would mean the
end of European Turkey and the be?
ginning of the end of the Ottoman
empire. Advised by the officers above
metloned, the army in Macedonia re?
volted, and an envoy was dispatched
to Constantinople to demand that
Abdul Hamid proclaim he. Constitu?
tion. It was represented to him that
unless he complied with this demand,
three hundred thousand soldiers would
msrch on the capital, put an end to
the Sultan's rule and establish a free
government.
When this demand reached Abdul
Hamid, Albania had a'ready revolted.
Anatolia was in disturbance, the Kurds
In Derslm were aggressive and general
discontent was growing. Two liberal
leaders of former times. Said Pashu
and Kamll Pasha, were called from
their seclusion, and upon their advice
the Sultan proclaimed the Constitu?
tion of 117ft. This document secures
freedom bf religion and of the press,
security of life and property and equal?
ity before the law. It needs revising,
and Mundjl Bey dec'ares that It has
already been decided wt 1 the aftang
es wiil be. In the first . ice the abso?
lutism of ths Sultan will be abolished.
I In the next place the thirty senators
(will be elected by public vote Instead
of being appointed by the Sultan.
I Still another change will involve the
election of a deputy by every 25,000
voters Instead of by 50,000. The
writer of the article, who Is evidently
a strong adherent of the young Otto?
man party, entertains no fear that the
Sultan will evade the promises recent?
ly made by him, no matter how re?
luctant he may be to perform them
The skill and secrecy with ,which the
revolutionary movement was carried
through, doubtless convey their own
warning to him.
, Pellagra.
A great deal of Interest is felt
throughout the world In the discovery
of the origin of the disease known as I
pellagra, which has just been made by
Dr. J. W. Babcock, superintendent of I
the state hospital for the Insane, who
has been traveling In Europe this
?ummer with Senator Tillman.
The discovery is of great scientific I
Importance, and seems to be of equal
importance from an economic stand
point.
Dr. Babcock has noticed the pres
ence of the disease In various south- I
ern states, particularly Georgia and
the Carolinas, and even as far west
as Texas. Before his departure from
America pellagra was thought to be
unknown In this country, and It was
some time before Dr. Babcock diag
nosed it. This diagnosis was disput- I
ed by many American alienists, be
cause so little was known about the
disease In the United States.
During his travels In Italy, Dr. Bab
cock had several Interviews with Dr.
Pavone. who Is the head of the Ital- I
Ian board of public health, and is the I
recognised European authority on I
pellagra.
He gave Dr. Babcock facilities fori
examining cases of pellegra tn Ital-1
tan hospitals, and as a result of his I
Investigations, Dr. Babcock Is certain I
the American disease Is pellagra.
The disease is caused by eating dis- 1
eaaed or fermented corn. It Is par-1
tlcularly rife in the Lombardy die-1
trlot where. Senator Tillman has
pointed out, not enough space and I
air are given to the corn.
The economic Importance of Dr. I
Baboock'a discovery has been ex-1
plained by Senator Tillman In an In- I
terview in Paria. He said that afterl
the civil war the south abandoned
corn growing on a large scale because
such high prices were obtainable for!
cotton. The south, he said, was there
fore compelled to Import corn from
other states which were not nearly so
{favorable for com growing.
Some of this corn, he said, Is dis?
eased in the pith, that Is the nitro?
genous part, but as the outer starchy
part is still good all is ground up for
hominy or meal.
This is the origin of pellagra In
the southern states. To stamp It out.
Senstor Tillman says, there must
either be a rigorous inspection of corn
or the south must put up a barrier
against corn grown In other states and
revert to com growing Itself.?Ander?

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps TJs
Strong and Healthy.
All the blood In the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys Alter the blood.
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of Impure matter daily, when un?
healthy some part of this Impure mat?
ter Is left In the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms?
pain in the back, headache, nervous?
ness, hot dry skin, rheumatism, gout,
gravel, disorders of the eye-sight and
hearing, dizziness, Irregular heart,
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
In the urine etc. But if you keep the
filters right you will have no trouble
with your kidneys.
Mrs, B. B. Seymour, living at 3IS
W. Calhoun St., Sumter, S. C, says:
"Prior to using Doan's Kidney Pills I
had a great deal of annoyance fromithe
kidney secretions, and had dull nag?
ging backaches and distressing pains
through m|- loins. I used Doan's Kid?
ney Pills, which I procured at China's
drug store and have not had any
trouble with my back since. My son
was also afflicted with kidney trouble,
being unable to control the secretions,
especially at night. Since he used
Doan's Kidney Pills, he has Improved
wonderfully. He Is much stronger and
is able to control the secretions. 1
shall always praise Doan's Kidney
Pills for what they have done In my
family."

A GHOST STORY.
The Spectral Horseman That Visits
Wycollar Hall.
This ghost story Is contributed by a
correspondent of an English maga?
zine: "Wycollar Hall, near Colne,
was long the seat of the Cunllffes of
Bi'lington. They were noted per?
sons in their time, but evil days came,
and their ancestral estates passed out
of their hands. In the days of the
commonwealth their loyalty cost
them dear, and ultimately they re?
tired to Wycollar with a remnant only
of their once extensive property.
About 1819 the last of the family
passed away, and the hall is now a
mass of ruins. Little but the antique
fireplace remains entire, and even the
room alluded to in the following leg?
end cannot now be Identified. Tradi?
tion says that once every year a
specter horseman visits Wycollar Hall,
He is attired in the costume of the
early Stuart period, and the trappings
of his horse are of a most uncouth
description.
"On the evening of his visit the
weather is always wild and tempes?
tuous. There is no moon to light the
lonely roads, and the residents of the
district do not venture out of their
cottages. When the winds howls loud?
est ths horseman can be heard dashing
up the road at full speed, and, after
crossing the narrow bridge, he sud?
denly stops at the door of the hall.
The rider then dismounts and makes
his way up the broad oaken stairs In?
to one of the rooms of the house.
Dreadful scroems, aa from a woman,
are theo heard, which soon subside
lato sjroane. The horseman then
makes Ms appeoraooe at the dooe, at
one* mounts his steed and gallops off.
"Hts body cam be seen through by
those who me** chance to be present;
his horee appears to be wild with
rage, aad hie nostrils stream with
fire. The tradition la that one of the
Cunllffes murdered his wife in that
room and that the specter horseman
is the ghost of the murderer, who Is
doomed to pay an annual visit to the
home of his victim. She is sold to
have predicted the extinction of the
family, which, according to the story,
has been literally fulfilled/'
A Traveling Man's Experience.
?"I must tell you my experience on
an eastbound O. R. & N. R. R. train
from Pendleton to Le Grand, Ore.,"
writes Sam A. Garber, a well known
traveling man. "I was in the smoking
department with some other traveling
men when one of them went out into
the coach and came back and said,
There Is a woman sick unto death in
the car.' I at once got up and went
out. found her very ill with cramp
colic, her hands and arms were
drawn up so you could not straighten
them, and with a death-like look on
her face. Two or three ladles wers
working with her and giving her whis?
key. I went to my suit case and got
my bottle of Chamberlain's Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy (I
never travel without It), ran to the
water tank, put a double dose of the
medicine in the glass, poured some
water Into it and stirred it with a pen?
cil; then I had quite a time to get the
ladies to let me give it to her, but I
succeeded. I could at once see the
effect and I worked with her, rubbing
her hands, and in 20 minutes I gave
her another dose. By this time we
were almost into Le Grand, where I
was to leave the train. I gave the bot?
tle to the husband to be used In case
another dose+should be needed, but by
the time the train ran Into Le Grand
she was all right, and I received the
thanks of every passenger In the car."

Chfcrles E. Magoon, of Cuba, accom?
panied by Capt. Ryan, arrived here
this morning, stopped long enough to
eat a hearty meal and then took the
next train for Washington.
"The island of Cuba," said he, "is
one of the finest countries In the
world, and Its industrial, educational
and political progress is wonderful,
and the development along sanitary
lines has been marked, and Havana is
now quite a clean and a healthy city.
"A great deal of this new prosperity
is due to the fine system of good roads,
this work having been inaugurated by
American enterprise.
"The recent elections on tke island
passed off quietly, and quite satisfac?
torily. As soon as I return from this
trip, which wl'l be in about ten days.
I will issue a proclamation for the
presidential election.
"The campaign following this will
be lively and spirited, but, whatever
the result may be, there is no doubt
that the people will cheerfully abide
by the will of the majority.
"Yes, I have already decided upon
the date; the election will be held
November 14."

Profitable Farming.
Much farming is not profitable to the farmer. Sometimes the
fault is in the land, but usually it is in the man. Good manage?
ment and proper fertilization will make a profit for the farmer on
pratically any. land in Sumter County.
But the profit is made with greater ease and there is more of it
when the land is fertile and well drained. I am offering in a tract
of 190 acres, 120 cleared, seven miles from Sumter and one mile from
Oswego, a farm which comes up to the requirements to make the
?reatest profit with the greatest ease. It has a nice seven room
welling, ample out buildings, several tenant houses, and other things
that make the farmer and his laborers comfortable while the soil is
doing its part of the work. School and railroad facilities are within
a mile, buch property is not often offered on the market, and if you
are looking for a nice farm this is your chance.
