The farmers of Lee county and the business men of Blah opvtlle. who are working together In hearty co-operation, are to be con? gratulated. one . Everything Is calm and serene In mllhla circles once more. The Dick law Is recognised and Is to be obeyed by everybody, the commander tn chief Included. The money will be rorth? ontlsnr and the encampments will be held. All of which goes to prove that the row that was kicked up was altogether needless and sense lees. If Uov. Blease had asked for another Inspection for the delinquent militia companies, with his pledge to order them mustered out, if they then failed to come up to the required standard, the war department would have granted his request Instead of taking the drastic action that was found necessary to call Qov. Blesse s Muff. Qov. Blease, as all are aware, denounced the Dick law, and declared that he would never agree to muster out the delinquent companies Now he promises to obey the Dick law and all regulations and pledges himself to muster out companies that do not come up to the standard at the next Inspection. The war department has no desire to disband the militia of South Carolina, but on the contrary has been doing Its utmost to build up and Increase It* efficiency?all that the war department sought In this con? troversy, which Oov. Blease precipi? tated, wua the enforcement of the regulativn that militia companies must maintain ihe standard of efficiency re? quired to remain In the National Ouard. This has been accomplished and Guv Blease has pledged his word to obey the law and regulations and to muster out the companies that fall to maintain the standard. The war department has carried Its point and Oov. Bleass submits. e e e It is always possible and compara? tively easy to raise capital in Sum far for Investment In bank stock, be? cause the people of small means as well as the capitalists, have confidence In the local banks as a safe and rea? sonably profitable Investment. The same Is true of local building and loan associations and also of the telephone factory. But when the attempt has been :..*d> to raise many for other enterprises, manufacturing or other? wise. It has been a work of extreme difficulty to Interest the public and to secure subscriptions. This is due 1 not so much to the scarcity of money j as ??> the lack of confident e. The small capital needed tor the shoe fac? tory was raised with great difficulty, the success of the effort being made possible, only by Mr. Wltherspoon subscribing for a large block of stock.

Turkish Arniy He|K>rtcd |0 Be Marching to Recapture of Adrian ople and I hra<?e? Roumanln < Ms u i>h (i larger Extent of Bulgarian Territory. ljondon. July 13. ?The Balkan ntatea appear to he again in the melt? ing pot. There is no sign of peace at present. Greece and Servla have declined to agree to an armistice. The Turkish army is advancing by forced marches from Tchatalja and Bulair apparently with the consent of Greece and Servia to attempt the re? capture of Adrlanople and Thrace. Koumania Is said to be proceeding to occupy a much larger extent of Bulgarian territory than she pre? viously claimed and Greece is burn? ing to avenge the Bulgarian mas? sacres, concerning which horrifying details continually appear in official reports issued from Athens and Saloniki. According to these reports ears and fingers of Greek women still bearing earrings and rhigs were found in the pockets of Bulgarians. There Is still talk of Russia inter? fering and it la reported from St. Petersburg that the powers in con? cert have notified the sublime porte they will not permit military opera? tions beyond the Enos Midia line fix? ed by the London conference. No fresh fighting is reported and it appears that rumors regarding a revolution in Sofia are without foun? dation. The Bulgarian government accuses Greece of circulating false accounts of Bulgarian atrocities with a view of preparing the ground for future ter? ritorial claims and expresses Itself as willing to submltt the whole matter to an international investigation. In Bulgarian official circles in London it is announced that an agreement has been reached with Turkey to re? gard the Enos-Midia line as a provis? ional frontier pending final delimita? tion by the International commis? sion. BY FORCED MARCHES. Turks Are Reported to Have Occu? pied Tchorlu. Constantinople, July 13.?The Tchaltalja and Bolair armies are advancing by forced marches and al? ready have occupied Tchhorlu with? out opposition. The Bulgarians have evacuated Rodoste. The greatest military activity pre? vails here and troops, artillery and provision convoys are brought across the Bosphorus from Asia Minor. De? struction of villages by the retiring Bulgarians has aroused bittet* feeling here. The porte is In communication with Belgrade, Athens and Bucharest and is said to have receive assurances that neither Greece nor Roumania w|ll conclude an armistice without consulting Turkey. WHY III'LG ARS LOSE. Lack of Order? and Absence of Offi? cers, Says Austrisn. Vienna. July 13.?A high Austrian military authority attributes the de? feat of the Bulgarians to the Indeels slon of the goverment'a Policy. Con? tradictory orders from the cabinet and military staff has a dispiriting Influence on the army. Another im? portant cause of defeat was a short? age of officers and the presence of in? experienced recruits on the firing; line. ?. There arc persistent reports that the Servians have occupied the Bul? garian town of Kustendil. It Is also reported that a force of Roumanians has arrived at Corahia and is prepar? ing to cross the Danube Into Bulgaria, northeast of Pievna, A DASHING CHARGE.

Aviator in Hydroaeroplane Com? petition Sates Himself by Quick Tliinking. Muskegon, Mich., July 11.?Glenn Martin's steady nerve and perfect control of his hydroaeroplane, in which he is making the Chicago to Detroit cruise, probably saved his life late this afternoon when the machine developed carburetor trouble and he was forced to make a quick descent into Lake Michigan. Martin, with his passenger, Chas. Day, was flying about 700 feet above the water when the air valve dropped from the carburetor, Martin volplan? ed to the surface of the lake, making a perfect landing about two and a half miles from the shore. In a few minutes he succeeded in starting his engine again and reached the shore under his own power. Martin declared his machine was not damaged and that he will resume his journey towards Charlevolx at 7.30 tomorrow morning. Beckwith Havens and Roy Francis, who reached Pentwater this after? noon, will remain there during the night, a lowering barometer causing them to defer their departure until tomorrow morning. DR.

' Garrett was arrested early next1 morning and kept in jair until the trial, when after his conviction he was sent to Columbia to the peniten? tiary where he remained up to the j time of execution.
