London. Nov. 7.?The reports of
correspondents on the scene of the
Balkan wer are beginning to come in,
and they present pictures of misery
snd carnage which have probably not
been equaled in modern times.
Tho Times orrespondent with Na
slm Fasha s army pays tribute to the
Turkish retreat after the battle of
Lule Burgas. He says:
"la all my long experience of the
miserable scenes of war I have ob?
served nothing finer than the retire?
ment of the Turkish Infantry. Just
as they sauntered Into action, so they
aauntered out beneath a terrific Are
from the Bulgarian artillery.
"There was no mass formation in
the retirement. It seemed as if sud?
denly the whole land had become peo?
pled. The men were in hundreds,
hut they were all shaV n out In won
deful extension. They seemed to
tare nothing for the rain of metal
which swept down on them. Nor
could 1 see that th? fearful storm >f
sharpnel did any great execution
among these men, whose steps it
could not even hasten.
"Slowly and deliberately with in?
domitable dignity the Turkish Infant
try retired, snd we retired with them.
Nor had they to retire far, for this
country la one long succession of ad
tlnople, and thence to Constanza, he
to Tchatalja."
The correspondent of the Chronicle,
who was with the Turkish command
der-ln chlef during part of the oper?
ations, calls the battle In Thrace "a
terrlblj and appalling defeat." Af?
ter malting his way back to Constan
tlnopls. and thence to Constanxa. se
sent the following
*rhls defeat has been followed by
a rout for which there is scarcely a
parallel In history. In the latter
stages It degenterated Into a wild
panic and stampede, which quickly
eommunlcated Itself to the whole
righting force. Forty thousand of the
flower of the Turkish trops have fal?
len, while Abdullah Pasha himself
narrowly escaped the fate of 76 per
cent of his artillery, who were made
captives.
"Brigades dissolved Into regiments,
regiments Into companies, compa?
nies Into small groups. Ity handfuls
the army has found its way back to
Tchorlu. the Bulgarian artillery
cruelly harassing them and mowing
them down in thousands."
Describing the fighting at Lule
Burgas, the correspondent says that
throughout the superiority of the
Bulgarian artillery was very pro?
nounced. The Turks, unable to with?
stand the murderous Are, slowly with?
drew The gunners being dead and
the horses killed, the guns were left
to the enemy.
"Having succssfully and effectual?
ly silenced the lire of the Turks, the
Bulgarians stormed the town (Lule
Burgas) wtth the bayonet. The great?
er part of the Turkish garrison had
already withdrawn. Those who re?
mained at the rear guard were
caught In a trap. The men of the
fourth corps, although without food
for two days, offered stubborn resist?
ance and died to a man.
"After raising the flag on the prin?
cipal moec/ie. the Hulgurlans attack?
ed the railway station, four miles
aw%y. As they approached they were
subjected to a fierce fire from the
batteries at tho station and the
neighboring hill* While the con?
fusion caused by the unexpected fire
was st Its height, the Turkish caval?
ry under 8alih Pasha dashed from
concealment with drawn swords and
shouting: 'Allah: Allah" swept like

The retreat began in the morning.
For an hour It wax carried out In
good order. Two hours after lUBflM
the Hulgarians started in pursuit.
Thence forward It was a disorderly
rout.
"Pressed by the mass behind, the
vanguard lost all semblance of an or?
ganised army. The men abandoned
all their rilles, haversacks and bag?
gage. These fell Into the hands of
the enemy. The wounded had to shift
for themselves. Those Who were Ahl!
to walk limped along. Jostled in tbo
flight.
"Hy noon shells were whistling
around them and struck down some
of the unhappy fugitives."
The correspondent says that th*'
last news of Mukhthar Pasha, who
commanded the right wing, was that
he was slowly retreating in tolerably
good order. He was fiercely contest
Ing his ground, but was losing heav?
ily and sacrificing his men cheerful?
ly In the hope of giving the other
shattered half of the Turkish army
breathing time and an opportunity t >
reform at Tchorlu.
CHARLESTON NEEDS WATCHING.
fluMlncMA Men Over Nation Bollere this
Port Will Flourish Hugely.
A Charleston business man who has
Just returned home from an extended
trip, states that he heard Charleston
talked about almost everywhere he
went and he believes that this is one
of the best indications of Charleston's
future when people are generally
talking about the prospects of the
port.
In the North, in the West. In the
South, the business man traveled and
he states that he heard the same
chorus everywhere, that Charleston is
at last coming into possession of her
own. In New York city there were
substantial business people who look?
ed upon Charleston as a rival for
business. This may sound like a Joke
to some people, said the business man,
hut it was not meant as such.
Charleston's splendid geographical
and physical advantages are being
realised among the big railroads and
business interests. The future of the
port Is inevitable, and It is only a
question of time, It Is felt, when no
matter how greatly neighboring norts
may have flourished. Charleston is
destined to he the gateway not only
of the commerce of the Immediate
section, but for a very wide section
of the country.
When things start up, In the opin?
ion of the traveler, they are coming
with a rush. Charleston is on the
verge of one of the biggest booms that
this country has seen, in his opinion,
founded on things he has heard on
his travels, and. a few years will tell
the story. Real estate has not begun
to reach Its topmost bounds. It Is
Just foreshadowing the big develop?
ment which is brewing and with the
eyes of the whole country turned in
this direction, Charleston Is about to
make good In a substantial way. This
is the opinion of the larger business
Interests which help to bring about
these big port booms, and the Char?
leston traveler said that things will
soon speak for themselves.

but rather improved by good use, to
our children and our children's chil?
dren for all time to come, the people
of this country havo abounding cause
for contented gratitude.
"Wherefore I, William Howard

A Night of Terror.
Few nights are more terrible than
that of a mother looking on her child
choking and gasping for breath dur?
ing an attack of croup, and nothing
in the house to relieve it. Many
mothers have passed nights of ter?
ror in this situation. A little fore?
thought will enable you to avoid all
this. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
is a certain cure for croup and has
never been known to fail. Keep it at
hand. For sale by all dealers.?Advt,
One transfer of real estate was left
in the Auditor's office Thursday morn?
ing: Mary E. Morrisey to L. Charles
Hudnel, 25.7 acres in county, $704.
Cause of Insomnia.
The most common cause of insom?
nia is disorders of the stomach and
constipation. Chamberlain's Tablets
correct these disorders and enable
you to sleep. For sale by all dealers*
?Advt.
Already many of the people here
are making their plans for Thanks?
giving. Many have decided to spend
the day hunting as usual, others will
go to the football game at Columbia
between the Citadel and Carolina, and
others have still other plans on Coot.
Magged Train with Shirt.
Tearing his shirt from his back an
Ohio man flagged a train and saved it
from a wreck, but H. T. Alston, Ral?
eigh, N. C, once prevented a wreck
with Electric Bitters. "I was in a
terrible plight when I began to use
them," he writes, "my stomach, head,
back and kidneys were all badly af?
fected and my liver was in bad con?
dition, but four bottles of Electric
Bitters made me feel like a new man."
A trial will convince you of their
matchless merit for any stomach,
liver or kidney trouble. Price 50
?rents at Slbert's Drug Store.?Advt.
