If Turkey is defeated In ihc im peadlag battle between Adrianoplo and Constantinople it would be high time for Kurope to look to it* inter? ests, since the destruction of Euro? pean Turkey could not be tolerated, nor could the occupation of Constan? tinople by another power. "Blood enough has been spilt and peace can be offered to both aides, if Bulgaria Is defeated, with projtpect of acceptance. Austria Is not likely to attack Servia, as that would mean Im? mediate war with the Balkan allies. A decisive battle is expect ?d In a few days, hence Intervention 1* probable within a week." hl AMU, PASHA IX CHARGE. President of Turkish Council of State Bevomos (.rand Vizier. Constantinople, Oct. 29.?Kiamll Pasha, president of the council of state assumed the office of grand vizier this afternoon in succession to Ohad Moukhtar Pasha, who resigned. An imperial decree commands the new grand vizier to prosecute the war | with all energy. Although all the changes in the cabinet have not yet beer made., it is announced that Nazim Pasha will be retained as minister of war and Noraiungshian Pasha as minister of foreign affairs. Jemalledln Pasha also wll he retained as shlek-ul-islam. The change In the grand vizierate is not expected materially to influence either the internal or external situa? tion. When Kiamll Pasha three months ago accepted the presidency of the council he became the domi? nant figure of the cabinet and It was foreseen that he would succeed to the grand vlxlerate. The motives for the resignation of Muokhtar Pasha are not known. The retention of Noradungshian Pashu as foreign minister shows that no startling innovations In the foreign policy are likely.

Clinton, Oct 28.?About 2 o'clock this afternoon on Broad street Rob? ert Lawson shot and killed his father, Frank Lawson. The dead man has lived near here all "his life until a year or so ago, when he moved to Lan ford. His son lived on land rented from his father and the killing was brought on by a dispute as to rent. The son brought a bale of cotton to Clinton from his farm near town to use towards paying off a mortgage he owed the First National Bank. The father claimed the cotton was due to him for rent and thr* itened to shoot the son if he carried it to the bank. The son did this and was talking to the cashier, B. H. Boyd, when his father joined him and renewed the dispute. Mr. Boyd saw that a quarrel was on and went into the bank. Almost be? fore he was out of sight two shots rang out and after a short Interval three more. Tttoy were fired by the son and took effect, four in the fath ? I er's body and one in the hip of the mule he drove. Two of the shots en ter ' the stomach, one the shoulder and one the br.ck of the head. The victim lived only a few minutes after being removed to the city satlon, nev ? er regaining consciousness. Sheriff Owens came from Lauren* in an auto and carried Hob Lawson to Juil. Young I.awson claims that his father drew on him and he shot j in self-defense. The father had threatened to shoot his son if he turned the cotton over to the bank.

New Orleans, < ?et. 27.?It will prob? ably be little else but weather mar? ket on the cotton exchange this week. The question of the date of the first killing frosts of the season is still unsettled and the trade will think of little else until it arrives, or until the crop has made all that it possibly can, a stage where frost would be of no consequence. Buch a stage is la ginning to be look? ed up<?n as a possibility by some traders. it is considered by not a few that it* the lh'st of November should arrive without killing frosts. cold weather could not possibly lower j the yield this year. Tim weather most desired this week will he bright and warm. Rain would interfere with picking, although pick Ing is now rapidly coming to the ?scrapping" stage in n0* ? few sec? tions of the helt. Thursday will end the present pe? riod in the schedule of ginning re porti by the census bureau but the trade is not taking its usual interest in finners' returns, although, before Ions;, they ought to furnish a more or less reliable index to what may be expected as the total yield. At the wet k end 4private buyers may come out with estimates of what has baen ginned this period but they will have to be rather sensational to cause the market to take much no? tice of them. Should important developments take place in the European political situa? tion the market might be affected to some extent as it has of late gone to watching the stock market rather closely, but the < onsensvs of opinion is that the Balken troubles can hardly have any severe effect on prices or cause any permanent changi i MOLES anZ WARTS Removed with MOI.KSOFF, without |**tn Or ?lan^vr. no mutter how Innre. ??r lion fiU* NUood aNno (Joe -iiirf?vv of ilu akin.
