He stated that the big men were not di.it!'; their duty. The bli* men should give toward the support <?t- the Chamber according to their means in comparison with what the smalb r salaried men wer., ^ivintf. Sumter phould raise the money and j should advertise it-: advantages! throughout the whole country. He wanted t-? see the canvass for $15,000 carried through sui.ssfully In one day. Mr McKt and. Secretary of the Char? leston Chamber of Commerce, opened his remarks by saying that Bumter re? minded him moie of the West than any other < Ity In the south or east he bad struck, because its people always pulled together. He told of the or? ganisation of the state Chamber of Commerce and how Mr. Weir had been decided upon as the man t<> come t<? this State to raise the funds for the lo? cal commercial organisations and the Mate ch tmber. He told of Mr, Weir's work along this line He was sure that the money could be raised. Mr. Jia?oi,i ii. Weir of San Fran? cisco, Cal., was next Introduced, He told of his work In other states in raising funds, showing how- much was done by the towns by their advance- I inent, where large sums was raised and their subsequent growth and pros perlty, ii? made ;i hit at the un? kempt, unpainted fences in this ?ity. saying that paint was cheaper hero than In some other places and thai more of it ought to be used.

Mr. w. B. Boyle thought the Cham- ; Lor of Commerce a good thlng( but hoped that a county fall ? ould be ar ranged for here. He thought it was a mlatake that one was not held this year and hoped to see one next year. Dr. Baker stated that one of the plana of the Chamber of Commerce was to, organise a county fair for next year. Mr. Nelll O'Donnell stated that In the past, when he was chairman of the finance committee, all money of the Chamber of Commerce had been ex? pended Intelligently and judiciously. He hoped that person.--, would not keep the canvassers waiting When they call? ed on them .1-; the canvassers had theli 1 Work to do and were in a hurry. I Mr. Bnell then made an announce. 1 ment of the commltteea for Frlday'i canvass and Dr. Baker called on Con gi Hsman a. F, Lever, terming him, MOur best beloved Sumter Citizen," for a speech. Mr. Lever was cordially received and Iiis few remarks were heard with the greatest attention. He told of his work In Missouri and the west to "help elect the future president." He t- id of the great sta 0 of Missouri, which he had travelled over and seen and which he stated grew sufficient products to clothe and feed every body In it. But, he Bald, after seeing the exhibits at the Or?ngeburg Fair. h? had come to the conclusion that South Carolina could grow enough products to clothe and feed the whole of the nited States. He said, I.pie who were emigrating to Canada in such numbers should be told of South Car? olina and her advantages and tho tide of emigration would be turned from the frozen north to this State. It wai because these people did not know South Carolina that they did not come here. He closed his address by saying that he knew Sumter people well en OUgh to say that they would do what? ever they get out to accomplish. m et BLICAX8 TO SELL OUT. -?

No armistice has yet been concluded; difficulties have arisen about the terma it is sai'i that Bulgaria demands ! I the evacuation of Adrlanople, Scutari and Monastir as B condition <'f agree* ment to an armistice. Negotiations, however, continue. The censorship is again exceedingly severe and it !? difficult to arrive at any correct Idea Of the literal posi? tion. Tin* fall Of Adrlanople is rumored from both Servian and Turkish sources, but is still unconfirmed. Another report says the Bulgarians have reocoupled Bam dem ul, 21 miles from Constantinople, if this is true, it is a very important capture, as that town Is Naslm Pasha's staff head quartern while the Vienna Relchspoat cor? respondent wl '1 the Bulgarian army reports what he describes a? "mur? derous lighting" along the Tchatalja lines, Turkish official reports deny that there has been any serious lighting there for several days. With regard to other points, an im? provement in the weather has per? mitted the resumption of the Monte? negrin attacks against the Turkish po? sitions around Scutari with some SUC ? ess. A battle is imminent at Mon astlr, and the garrison has endeavored to make terms tor its surrender. should an attack on ifonasttr be made the Turks are not expected to Offer serious resistance to the com? bined Servian and Greek armies and its fate is likely to be the same as Salonlkl's. The Greeks continue their march toward Janlna. They have now taken MetSOVa, a few miles to the north? east. Reports through Bucharest place the Bulgarian losses in the war at a far greater figure than has yet been estimated. According to this report the killed and wounded number 00,000 to B0.000 out of a total of 320,000 men and it is pointed '-tit. after allowance is made (or holding the line of com I mun teat ion, only I60,0ou effective men I are left for fighting. One reason which is considered likely to Induce Bulgaria to consent to an armistice and <? a peace set? tlement is fear of cholera. Official reports issued at Constantinople rep? resent that comparatively few cases are occurring dally, but other reports say tin* epidemic U serious with a high morality, There is no development in the diplomatic situation but an official denial has been Issued at st.

Rleka, Nov. 14.??The Montenegrin forces have renewed their attack on the Turkish ppsltlons around Scutari, which was suspended a few days ago because of the terrible weather. Heavy guns have arrived and the bombard? ment begun early this morning. The Pre was concentrated on the Turkish butteries and dal gerat dam? age, a few projectlli passed over the town throwing the Inhabitants into a panic. The Montenegrin commander in chief ordered the infantry advance in the afternoon against the fortifica? tions on the heights ol Bardanjolt, In spite of a hail 0!
