One hopeful sign Is the tact that diplomatic relations still remain un? broken and apparently no ultimatum has been delivered or a dec lar.if ion of war made. Therefore diplomacy still has time to set In the interests of peace. At present the European negotia? tions loklng to peace are centred In Parts, but It still seem* to be unde? cided whether action in this direc? tion shall be taken by a concert of the European powers as a whole or by Austria and Husala as represent.i fives of Europe.

The preliminary agreements are to be signed upon the arrival at Ouchy of a special Turkish emissary who left Constantinople Immediately after the cabinet meeting The Turco-Italian war begun Sep? tember 2'J, 1911, has waged its weary length for over a year, with no defi? nite result except the Italian occupa? tion of the seacoast of Tripoli and certain portions of the Interior. The war has been contined almost exclusively to Trlpoiitana, as none of the great powers cared to have the contending armies fighting on the Eu? ropean border, where hostilities, If once begun, might have embroiled several of the neutral nations. For some time, now. the peace ne? gotiations have been proceeding at Ouchy, Switzerland. Sues County for Damages.

WILL go HOME IF NECES8AKY. Colon) of Greeks In This dt) Very Much Interested In Balkan Trou? bles. Tin- colony of twenty-five <>r thirty Greeks residing in this ?? 11\- are very much int? li sted just now in the troubles between Turkey and the Balkan States. Ai Qreece, their na tive land for which they have the greatest love, is bo closely connectel In these troubles and threatened war just now, ii i? small wonder that they are Interested! especially as manv of them have numerous relatives there who will Buffer should ;> war >reak out The Oreeks here are Ken? rallv in? terested In I uslness, and one of the leaders of the colony suited that it was probable that none would leavt lo re for Qreece In case war broke out, on this account, as they could ma well leave their respective hu.;i t.? OS. However, he stated, if worse came to worse, and there was any danger of Turkey winning In the w ir, then all Of them would take Steps to sell out their business and return to the mother country to aid her in her distress. "Tiie Oreeks are liberty loving people" who have felt the yoke of slavery and have thrown it off 01 ce, and they will never submit to it again, said this Greek in speaking of the threatened war in the Bal? kans. He went on to state that all the Greeks wanted was justice. Many Of them resided in Turkey and had property Interests there, in fact the Greeks were by far the largest prop? erty owners In the cities in Turkey until the French, Russian and Bng . sh interests came i a few years Sfro, nnd they wanted these property interests free from the encroach? ments of the Turks. This was pri? marily the cause of the troubles be? tween the "countries, although the, efforts of the Turks to molest the Greeks in their religious services and in religious matters was also a chief KOUXCe of strife between the peoples of the two natior'' He stated further that the several small states could easily defeat Tur rcy in a war should one break out, ?f tl.e big powers of Europe did not interfere. However, as a war wouli hurt the Turkish interests of Russia, England and 1* ranee, these powers al? ways made the little States stand off and prevented a war between the smaller countries. So Sumter will probably not lose any of the members of her Greek colony, or very few nt most, should a war break out in the Balkans, un less it is seen that Turkey Is about to again bring Greece under her sway, in which case it is probable that there will be a general exodus, not only from here, but from all of the cities of the United States where Greeks ar*" living, many hundred thousand of them returning to their native land to take up arms against the invad? ers.

With tiusr words alone, a cordial handshake brought together here to? night for the first time lince the na? tional campaign opened the Presiden? tial nominee of tin- Democratic party and the man who three times was the standard-bearer of the same party. As the Governor stopp? ?] from the private car almost into the arms of Mr. Bryan there was a din of cheers. Governor Wilson and Mr. Bryan linal ly made their way to an automobile, and to an accompaniment of the blowing of whistles, tile tooting oi au? tomobile horns and the music of bands, they rode together through crowds, which lined the streets for blocks. There were cries of "Bryan and Wilson," and "Wilson and Bryan." Mr. Bryan had returned only today from a six-w< ek'i speaking tour through the West. The crowd pressed around the au? tomobile until it was with ditlicu'.ty that the street parade began. The crush to shake hands with Governor Wilson blocked the movement of the machine and many wanted to shake hands with Mr. Bryan, too. Governor Wilson sat at first beside Mr. Bryan, but the latter suggested that the Gov? ernor stand up in the machine throughout the parade. Mr. Bryan sat inconspicuously behind him, his face wreathed in smiles as Governor Wilson was kept busy waving his hat in acknowledgement of the cheers of the crowds. "This is great," said the Governor, as he turned toward Mr. Bryan fre? quently. "Fine, fine, tine," was Mr. Bryan's reply. For nearly an hour the street pa? rade continued and the crowd in? creased, until the Governor and Mr. Bryan took refuge In a hotel. It was a strenuous day for Governor Wilson, as his reception in Omaha, whero he made five speeches, kept him busy every minute of the time from 9 A. M. to 4.?0 I*. ,M.

Governor Wl'.*on thr.nked Mr. Bryan publicly for tllft support he gave him at Baltimore, and Mr. Bryan, in turn, appealed to the Democracy "to do for Wilson twice as much as they ever did for Bryan." "I want to express," said Governor Wilson, "on this, the first opportunity I have had since getting into Lincoln, the very deep pleasure it gives me to find myself beside Mr. Bryan. We are free to serve the people of the Unit? .1 States, and in my opinion, it was Mr. Bryan that set us free. I think no one can have followed the course of even,s in that extraordin?r - Convention rl Baltimore Without sharing in that opinion.'* Mr. Bryan was 'given an ovation When he arose to speak. "I'm proud of the leader we have chosen," said he. "I'm glad he has shown that scholarship need not be lonely.

In his presence, and in yours, l want to ex? press my deep gratitude t< him for tin masterly manner in which ho has led our friends in this campaign." Mr. Bryan added that election night, when the Governor and Mrs. Wilson read the returns, there will be a man and wife at Mr. Bryan's home just as happy and as rejoiced. He declared it would be tiie completion of a fight he? mm eighteen years ago for progressive principles. Immediately after the banquet Mr Bryan accompanied the Governor to the chief meeting of the evening, at the Auditorium, where an Immenee crowd was packed Indoors as well at out it was planned t.. have the Gov? ernor address the overflow crowd also mum l>M IV EXPLOSION.

An article, "Th?- Countv School," was road by Dr. s. a linker upon the request of the County Superintendent ef Bduce? tion. who felt that just such help was was was needed. The main trend of the article was "School Improvement*'* especially in th?- way <<f hotter sani? tary equipment, it answered direct" |y a question already before the as? sociation. "Why Should Truste? s Visit Their Schools?" It brought out the acknowledgment that but few ??f the trustees were visiting theii schools and really did not know their condi? tion aor what was needed. Poor light conditions with the same in the way of heating, dlssasr grnn Infested walls and desks, unsanitary d:-:nking water, from buckets exposed to gl rms and filth, out-buildings in such c?.na? tion as to corrupt th? morals of even the most carefully home-trained child, all of which the trustees ac? knowledge probably existed in their respective schools. At first there was an objection to the article for fear of length of time it would take to read it, but from the impressive manner in which it was read and the truth so clear In every word of it, interest was soon manifested on every trustee's face. A heart to heart discussion, along with some confessions of negli? gence as to visiting the schools, was the outcome. Then came some prom? ises of better things. Dr. Dwight promised to call a meet? ing of his board as soon as he got home and to visit his schools. He madet this in the form of a resolution, re? questing that all other trustees do likewise. The matter of individual drinking cups was discussed and coolers in? stead of old-fashioned water buckets advised. Mr. Dabbs favored the cool? er and the secretary of his board, Mr. McKlveen, a/aa oruered to purchase d cooler for their school. Never have the trustees had a meeting which has given promise of more fruitful results. Those who were absent indeed missed an inspiration which it Is hoped, will reach every trustee and patron in the county and hasten the time when our country schools will be places of beauty and in every way healthful and not the unsightly spots that mar th?? beauty Which nature has lavished so freely in the country.
