of their European empire without for

Ail the delegates attended today's
session. Every one appreciated the
tact that the meeting was to mark the
passage of tbs deliberations from the
preliminary stags to taat of real ne?
gotiations, and that it was destined
to rsvlso the map of eastern Europe.
The atmosphere of the stately coun?
cil chamber was charged with intense
feeling through the proceedings.
sf. Novakovltch. head of the Ser?
vian delegation, took the chair. On
his right was M Nlkolitch. speaker of
the Servian parliament, and on his
't af. Vosnltch. the Servian minis

all eyoe were turned upon him.
"All the secondary questions hav?
ing been settled, the moment has
come to explain the conditions under
which the allies are ready to conclude
peace." M. Novakovltch announced.
Then he proceeded to read the de?
mands of the Balkan states.
Heichad Pasha asked for a writ?
ten cjpy of the proposals. M. Nova
kovitch ordered the secretary to make
toe copy and the delegates left their
seats and Joined in an animated and
cordial conversation.
During; the long wait for the copy of
the demands and while disclaiming
sny desire to enter into a discussion
of their merits, the Turks said that,
speaking unofficially, they considered
the allies' terms to have been designed
for the purpose of breaking off the
conference. When the delegate* had
signed the document Reichad asked
for sn adjournment until Saturday in
order to consider the proposals, and
his request was granted.
Among diplomats here the opinion
prevails that notwithstanding the
Turks consider unacceptable the con?
ditions presented by the allies, which
the allies declare are terms which
? in not be reduced, peace ultimately
will hi concluded. It is remarked
that the allies and the Turks when
the armistice was concluded, were in
exactly the same position as the Rus?
sians and the Japanese when the
I'nlte 1 States induced them to adhere
to thi Vortsmouth conference.
? th the Turks and the Bulgarians
were at Tchatalja In practically a
state of exhaustion. Now both have
strengthened themselves but neither
really is sure what Wculd happen were

The Turks fear further reverseu and
irreparable losses and the allies, who
already have obtained successes which
In their rosiest dreams they never had
expected, fear to endanger the posi?
tions they have gained.
Owing to this reciprocal apprehen?
sion an understanding may be reach?

Among Prisoners who will Leave
Penitentiary in Time to Partake
of < 'hrlstmSs Dinner at Home.
Columbia, Doc. 23.?As a Christmas
gift, Gov. Ulease has granted clemency
to seventy-nine persons In the Peni?
tentiary, on the chain gangs in the
various counties throughout the State,
and including three to whom pardons
were granted to restore citizenship.
The offences range all the way from
murder down to minor infractions of
the luw. The persons to whom clem?
ency was granted will be released to?
morrow in time to eat Christmas din?
ner at home.
Probably the most interesting caae
in the whole batch is that of J. Ches?
ter Kennedy, white, of Darnwell, con?
victed of the murder of a man by th-j
name of Ussory, and sentenced to life
imprisonment in the State Penitenti?
ary. The killing of Ussery occurred
during a carnival week in Harnwell,
and excited much interest throughout
the State. Two negn es are now serv?
ing life sentences for this same of?
fence, and one of the reasons assign?
ed for the pardon of Kennedy by the
Governor is the difference in state?
ments of these two negroes, on their
two trials and since, Kennedy having
been convicted largely on their testi?
mony.
Alex Farrell, a white man of Flor?
ence county, convicted in 1896, along
with a woman, for the murder of a
man, was paroled. The woman was
previously granted clemency by a for?
mer Governor.
Samuel Randolph Way of Colum?
bia, who conducted a drug store on
Main street, and was convicted of ob?
taining money under false pretence
from his wife, was pardoned.
Robert Chestnut, of Orangeburg, a
whlt? man, convicted of killing a man
concerning domestic relations, was
paroled.
Louis Cantreil and Charles M.
Galnes, of Oconee county, convicted
along with Charles L. Angel, of the
murder of a farmer of that county,
and sentenced to life imprisonment in
the State Penitentiary, were paroled
on the ?ndltlon that they 'cave th*?
'lu'o within twenty-fou! hours and
nevei return. ATitti was paroled last

granted during good hebavlor, De?
cember 24, 1912.
A record was set In the number of
persons receiving clemency at* one
time when Governor Donaghey, of
Arkansas, exercised clemency In 360
cases last week. The number receiv?
ing clemency at the hands of Gov.
Blease this Christmas is the largest
number ever turned loose at one time
In the history of this State, and is
double the number turned loose at
any one time by the Governor here?
tofore.

the community. Mrs. Woodson, in
accepting her present, spoke with
great tenderness, while Mr. Woodson
was very g:ateful and thanked the
people most heartily for this and
many other tokens of love. Two fair
