Jan. 17.?Btate ill- | pevrtntaa and regulation of the New York stock exchange snd other stock ?xchanget are advocated by Qov, Sulzer In a message sent by him to tile legislature tonight. The time is ripe, in the governor's opinion, for the State t<? end "flagrant abuses, shitty sclu mi s and clever eomhmations to catch tie- unwary and to mislead the public. To "ft'ect tiiis he recommends tie enactment of a group of laws, at least one of which will provide Imprison Meat as ? penalty for its violation. These laws, the governor says, should apply to certain practices which have been sh- wn to exist b\ the Pujo com mittce ot the house of repr? s< ntativt I Sad other investigators. ' The testimony of some of the gov? ernors of the exchanges, 1 QoV, Bulser says, leaves no donbt in the minds of men of judgment that the exchanges have been either Incapable, or unwill? ing to devise those measures that will effectually eradicate the evils. "It is the ObYiOOS duty of the S'ate. it seems to me, to dcv.se the remedies. If the State neglects to do its plain duty tie- State should And no fault if the federal Bovernment sets in the premises." Among tiie measures which Qov, ?utter w< aid have ?nach d into law are: a ia.\ to distinguish clearly proper transactions of purchase and sale from those that are the result of com birations to ra.s- or depress artifi? cially the priia- el Securities without regard to their true value OF legiti? mate supply and demand. A law to prohibit brokers from sell? ing backward and forward among themselves blocks of | particular stock with intent to deceive or mis? lead outsiders. A law to prohibit brokers from calling for their own account the stocks they have been ordered to buy for their customers at the time the customers' orders are executed. A law Clearly prohibiting insolvent brokers from continuing to buy and sell. A law making it a criminal of? fense "to issue anystatemtnt or pub? lish any advertisement as to the value of any stock or other security, or as to the financial condition of any cor? poration or company issuing or about to iss ie stock or securities v lo re any promise or projection Contained in such statement or advertisement is known to be false or to be not fairly Justified by exislting conditions. QOV. Butaer also recommends the enactment ot new laws governini short sales, the hypothecation of se? curities, bucketshops, usury, (under which head he elaaat I the raising of all money rates to more than I per cent.) the relations between exchang? es and the OOaSOHdStlon of exchang? es. < I \KI MONT NFAKLV READY.

South Carolina Day is now on at ih?- Fifth National Com Show. the greatest agricultural fair ?>t its kind ever held In America, and more than a hundred citisens of Sumter are now In attendance upon it et the State's capital city. This morning the Columbia train was crowded to its capacity, although there were two extra Coaches attached to take eai'e of the many persons traveling to Co? lumbia to see the many fine exhibits at the corn show. There wa re between seyenty-nve : nd one hundred who went over from sumtei-, probably nearer the latter number than the former, who with the fifty or more who are al? ready in Columbia in attendance up? on the show , \\ ill make more than B hundred there South Carolina Day, the first big day of the exposition. The Sumter contingent Tuesday morning waa headed by the Sumter Hand, which want over for the pur? pose of h ading the (lame Cock city j citizens in the big South Carolina Day parade. The band formed at the comer Of Main and Liberty streets j and played a few selections before 'ommencing on their march to the station to board their train. The and has been practising steadily of! late and is in fine condition, and will be one of the best at the Show i to take part in the parade today?or | i during the exposition for that mat? ter. Bumter's exhibit in the Arcade has been nicely arranged s<? as to show off the various products of the coun? ty, both agricultural and manufac? tured, and attract the attention of visitors to them. s. c. Western Extension. The movement has already been Started to continue the South Caro? lina Western to Monroe and it looks as if it is a go. With the road put through to that point we will have J little doubt of the extension to th southward. It would then make the South Carolina Western one of tin main lines of the country, and we all want to be In on the ground floor On that enterprise. Just Which line the road will use will, we suppose, depend entirely i n the shortest and most practical route. Lach of the towns to which the road runs has the strongest kind of a hunch that it will be on the main line, and the action of the Olanta people In having the road extended to that point looks very much as if Olanta is to be in this fight very decidedly.?Florence Tinos.

London, Jan. 27.?The special corn mlttee appointed by the Balkan plen? ipotentiaries drafted a note today no? tifying th>' Turkish plenipotentiary ? that they propose to break off the peace negotiations. The not* was not submitted to the Balkan delegates, who held no meeting today. Instead the delegates gave a luncheon in c< le bratlon of tin- sainl day of Sabo, the patron of the Othodox church. The note drafted is very brief, it rer..lnds the Turks that since J anuary 6 sittings of the peace conference have be* n suspended, without Turkey making any move toward their re- , sumption, while events in Constanti? nople are the beat proof that Tur- I i key's answer to tin' demands of the allies concerning Adlianople ami the Aegean Inlands will b< negative. On this account, unless the Tur-' klah delegation has fresh proposals to make, tin- note points out. the allies see no alternative but definitely to ; break off peace negotiations. The Servian ? x-premler, M. MTovak- , *>vitch, will give a luncheon Tueaday in honor of the other delegations, af? ter which a meeting will be held for the purpose of examining the note. Tims another day will be gained be? fore facing th*' question of reopening tiie war. Rechad Pasha, head of the Turk? ish delegation, in an Interview to? night^ said he deeply regretted the oh stinacy of tin- a in. i which, ho de- j elated, was not only against Turkey's hut against their own true int. rests. He added: "This obstinacy is the more regret? table because w hile Bulgaria does not j need Adrianople either for defensive or effective purpos. s. this town is in dispensable to Turkey on account of historic, sentimental and religious associations. In fact Turkey would he weaker from a military poirit of view poasesalng Adrianople than wlth i out it. as the present war proves, for a winde army is now Immobilised in? side that fortress. "if the allies had played s noble i part by renouncing Adrianople, Tur? key might have become the friend and ally of Bulgaria as Austria be? came the friend ami ally of Germany after the war of 1866. By claiming Adrianople, if Bulgaria ever gets it. there will be an insurmountable gulf betwi en the two races." Harper-Glover.

The position taken is that he can be sentenced to neither death by hanging nor death by electrocution, on ike grounds that death by '..anging has been t-ntirely abolished by the Act o:' 1912, and that he cannot be elec tlocated, as that form of death has been established since his trial and conviction, and that, by the Act of 1912, all Acts er pans of Acts incon? sistent with that Act are thereby re P< alcd. ami that as to his case. the Act of 1912 is ex peat facto law, and, therefore, in violation <?f both the State and Federal Constitutions.
