TURKEY EXPECTED 10 YIELD. diplomats BXPBOT OTTOMAN lJMpiui: IXJ HOW TO WILL OF PoWi'.lts. Halkan Ktates seem lu Demand Adrlanoplc as Slur Qua Xon. IVave t'onfc<rvn<v Su-ik'hiUmI, Hut prob? ably win be RtmfMMfii 1 .?? ndon, Jan. 6.- The first stag*- of the pear. ii'C't i.n i.>ri- which is re it a r<11*11 by diplomats largely as on* of pretense on Turkey's part to avoid the appearances of yielding to the demands of the allies without pressure from the powers, is over now. It la expected that the second stage will soon begin with the powers acting behind the scenes and pulling the strings which will compel Turkey to concede to the bulk of the allies' de? mands. J Without money, her army inade? quate and demoralized, her stat.lOOM B realize that Turkey Is in no condition to resume hostilities. At today's sitting of the OOBforanCM Turkey renounced her rghts In the island of Crete and promised a recti? fication of the Thracian frontier, but insisted upon the retention of Adrian ople. The allies declared this was not satisfactory and suspended the conference. Th.it 6oOl not mean an end of the negotiations. The conference may be resumed either by Turkey giving noti ? fication that she has fresh proposals ' to siihmlt. or by the allies on the grounds that they have communica? tions to make to thy Turks. It is generally expected that the work of the conference will be taken up again at th?> end of the week when the festivities in connection with the orthodox Christmas are ended. The allies today held a short meet? ing before the official sitting and dis? eased J possibilities with reference to the statement which Kechad Pasha had been asked to make respecting the Balkan ultimatum and agreed to the reply of the allies. First, if Kechad Pashas statement was arrogant and provocative, then notwithstanding the advice of the powers in favor of moderation, they would break off the negotiations; sec? ond, if Rechad were courteous but the new concessions were unimportant they would suspend the conference} third, if Kechad made important con-* cessions without absolutely conceding the allies' demands, they would ad? journ the sitting until Friday in order to allow tinie to consult their respec? tive government* Expectation wa* intense when the ? i vlar delegate. Stojan Novakovitch, opened the session. Recllad Pasha, before reading his statement, made a brief speech. He said Turkey was prepared to give further proof of her Conciliatory spirit and ue-ire t.? avoid bloodshed, but he regreted that the allies seemed deteremlnd to ooncede nothing "ii their part and had turned B deaf tar t<? humanitarian considera? tions. He then read the following: ? it sre refuse the cession of Adrian ople, it is becauae its cession is Im? possible, for the security of Conatan tlnople ami Dardanellea, *"Wa still are ready today to dls ouss the f. ntier line between Turkey and Bulgaria, l>ut this frontier must N ave Adrlanople In ottoman territory. Wishing to give new proof of our spirit of conciliation we consent t<> desist from ?>ur rmlus over Crete, on condition, mttuntlly, that the allies do not claim the Cession of any other is? lands In the Aegean sea. If, notluvith standing these enormous sacrifices", the allies reject all idea of entering the road to concession, wishing to break the negotiations, the whole re? sponsibility for the consequences of this rupture Will fall on them. In this eventuality we declare all of the con? cessions made until today null and void." The Balkan plenipotentiaries' could not conceal their dissatisfaction with the statement, which although con? taining small oonceeelons, left the sit? uation practically unchanged. The general hope now is that in the three days' festivities of the Orthodox Christmas, which has in the Balkans all the poetical associations of ancient tradition, the olive branch will be of? ten d in the Shape Of official or un? official Intervention by the powers. CITY TO YIELD. Adrlanople Commander Said to he Seeking Terms. Vienna, Jan. G.?A Sofia dispatch says that at the request of the com? mander at Adrlanople, Bulgarian and Turkish delegates met this morning for the puurpoae it Is supposed, of discussing the question of capitula? tion. South Carolina is a gnat State. It is the mother of great men. Hut South Carolina has too much illiter? acy, and it should be the aim of ev? ery public man in the State to foster a State-wide movement, for better and higher education. Standing sec? ond to the last among the States, and being one of the oldest in the Union, is not a credit to the State, and the one idea of the men who are to shape the d??tihy of the State now for the future, should be along the lines of education.

Each school sends live men to the track meet and one to enter the ora? torical contest. In the oratorical con? test declamations will be used for the present, which must not exceed 12 minutes in length. The first oratorical contest will be held in Columbia Thursday evening April 24 and the track meet will be held the following day, Friday, on Davis field, University of South Caro l.na. This organization will no doubt do a great deal to stimulate interest in athletics and oratory in the high schools of the State and to bring them into closer relation. The fact that a beautiful trophy cup is offered the school winning the track meet and medals offered for each event will create a strong friendly rivalry be? tween the schools. If every man in South Carolina had made, on the first day of the New Year, a stern resolution not to put * a pistol in his pocket at any time during the ensuing twelve months, it would mean, if the resolution be rigorously kept, that nearly 100 per cent less homicides would be the record of the Palmeto State dur? ing 1913.?Darlington News and 1 Pres?.
