out An tuning Bulgaria to llctds
UUHt>?s^ret Treaty Rumored.
? ???
London. July 14.?That the Balkan
?truffle will end by a process of mu?
tual exhaustion seems the only hope
Sir Edward drey, the British foreign
secretary. Is able to hold out. In a
statement In the house of commons
tonight he eald that mere words
were not likely to effect the situation
and It would be most difficult for the
European powers to resort to force
to Impose peace .
Neither Hervla nor Greece has paid
any attention to Russia's proposal
that they cease hostilities. They ap?
pear determined to negotiate peace
with Bulgaria only on the held, with?
out Intervention by any third party,
and. unless Bulgaria proves amend?
able. It Is believed that an advance
will be made upon Sofia to enforce
acceptance of the Serbo-Oreece
Serious fighting for the time being
Is suspended, but the advances of the
Turkish and Roumanian troops con?
tinues without opposition. A Belgrade
report says the Servians on Sunday
captured an Important position eight
males west o' Xustendll.
According U the Athens correspon?
dent of The rrajrjf Telegraph, Greece
aad Hervla signed a secret treaty last
May. binding them to prosecute a
war. then foreseen, with Bulgaria
until the Butler? acquiesced In the
territorial arrangements laid down In
the treaty. Py these arrangements
the eastern boun<Mfftel of Greece
Would be extended to the Mesla river,
considerably to tie east of Drama
end Servta would have an accese to
the Aegean sea at two points.
In the house of commons tonight
Mir Edward Grey, the British foreign
secretary, replying to a suggestion
that an armistice should be forced on
the Balkan states, said it was impos?
sible to exsggerate the horror of the
war, but mere words were not likely
to affect the situation and It would
be extremely difficult for a concert of
s^sjrope to resort to force to Impose
peace.
Bulgaria had asked Russia to aid
her in securing peace and Servla and
Greece had agreed to cease hostili?
ties upon certsln conditions. As to
Turkey, no exception could be taken
to her action as long as she adhered
to the Knoe-Mldla line.
The essential thing for the powers,
eald the foreign secretaiy, was to
perfect and maintain an agreement.
The war was so exhaustive that It
could not be of long duration and no
complications ought to arise endan?
gering the European concert.
There was every reason to believe,
he concluded, that matters would be
brought to a satisfactory termination.
Hack of Seres Was Barbarous.
Saloniki. July 14.?The sacking
and burning of the town of^ Seres by
the defeated Bulgarian army and the
strocltles on men and women were
fudy confirmed today In a dispatch
from a well-known Greek correspon?
dent.
The retreating Bugartan soldiers,
he telegraphed, opened a cannonade
with four field gunu from a hill above
the town on Prldsy. At the same
time bands of Bulgarian soldiers, led
by their officers, scoured the streets,
flntt pillaging the stores and houses
and then oremhtng them with petro
leum snd setting them alight, until
the greater part of the town was
biasing.

VALUE or CRIMSON CLOVER
How Mr. C. W. Josey off SU Charles
S. C. mimi II h 1-2 Bushels off
t orn on One Aero ut a Cost off
28 1-2 Cents Per Bushel.
In the year 1910 during month of
December applied liberal amount of
barnyard manure ,in spring of 1911
planted to corn and peas, during
month of October 1911 planted to
Crimson clover 20 lbs. seed per acre,
after soil had been inoculated with
soil from Plot on which Crimson
clover had been successfully grown.
In Spring, May 1st, of 1912. turned
crop of Crimson clover under and
prepared land thoroughly, and plant?
ed to corn, 3 1-2 feet by 12 inches in
drill. All fertilizer applied by side
application, and consisted of the fol?
lowing: 40 bushels of cotton seed,
500 lbs. nitrate of soda, 50 lbs. pot?
ash; soda was applied as follows;
300 lbs. at laying by, 200 lbs. when
corn was In full silk and tassel. Corn
was cultivated up to July 1st. This
plot produced 118 1-2 bushels of corn
at a cost of 28 1-2 cents per bushel.
After the crop was harvested the
plot was again planted to Crimson
clo\er and he harvested from the plot
in the spring of 1913 three and a half
two horse loads of splendidly cured
Crimson clover hay. It will thus be
setn that by the proper use of clover
as' a whiter cover crop that the cost
of production can be reduced to such
an extent i a that the margin of pro?
fit can easily be made very attractive.
Mr. Josey is progressive in his
ideas of what may be accomplished
by proper methods being put
into practice on our farms. Just a
few years ago the acre of land de?
scribed above would make from one
fourth to onethlrd bale of cotton per
acre; now he has It plantod to cotton
In five feet rows and ha? every reason
to expect thae cotton to cover the
entiro ground because the land Is in
a high state of fertility on account of
the deposit." of nitrogen from the air
"by the Crimson clover which plant is
a winter legume and does for the soil
during the winter months what the
cow pea does during the summer
months.
Other farmers who have success?
fully grown either Crimson or Burr
clover are Dr. A. C. Bask in, Mr. W.
A. Stuckey, Mr. H.' M. Cooper, L. L.
Baker, and quite a number of our
farmers have grown Muccssfull plots
of vetch with oats. These planted
together yield one of the best hay
crops wc know of and may be har?
vested In the spring from two to three
weeks before the oat crop ia ready.
Vetch, besides being a splendid
plant for hay is also a winter legume
and is therefore a tine soil builder.
I venture to say that if every farmer
in Lee County would plant one acre
of vetch with oats, to each horse he
keeps, after carefully preparing and
fertilizing the land with stable or
barnyard manure and proper inocu?
lation of the soil, that hay from other
states would cease being shipped into
Lee county. Let us hope that as
rapidly as possible our farmers will
begin the use of vetch with oats, and
the clover : as winter cover crop and
soil builders, and also as hay for the
early spring, thereby relieving our?
selves of the necessity of buying hay
aftd at the same time tilling our land
with humus ami furnishing the
foundation for the profitable use of
such commercial fertilizers as we
would need under conditions, for af?
ter land has been brought up by the
us? of leguminous crops, the most
expensive Ingredient which enters in
i to the composition of our fertilizers,
ammonia or nitrogen, may be prac?
tically eliminated.

yesterday. The brains in each case
were examined, ami those of four
showed unmistakable symptoms of
hydrophobia. Two of the dogs wore
from Columbia and one each from
Blythewood, Society Hill. Winnsboro,

eight persons had been bitten.
Late in the afternoon Thos. B.
Duckett, M. I?., of Fountain Inn,

DECLARATION STIRS CAPITAL.
BRYAN'S LECTURING PROGRAM
SUBJECT OF M&'CII DISCX'S
SIGX.
Senator Brielow of Kansas Preeente
Resolution calling for Information
of What is Proper Salary for Sec?
retary of State.
Washington, July 16.?Washington
today was interested chiefly in devel?
opments following Secretary Bryan's
?statement that he had to spend his
vacation on the lecture platform, be?
cause he could not live on the secre?
tary of state's salary of $12,000 a
year. The lobby investigation, the
tariff and the Mexican situation were
forgotten temporarily, at least, while
everybody talked about the resolution
Introduced by Senator BrlstOW calling
on tho president to "advise the sen?
ate what would be a proper salary to
enable the present secretary of state
to live with comfort and enable him
to give his time to the discharge of
his public duties.'
When the Bristow resolution was
read amid Republican laughter, Dem?
ocratic Leader Kern and other sena?
tors immediately objected to its con- |
sideration and after a few brief ex?
changes it went over. It was fully
discussed, however, in the lobbies and
cloak rooms at both ends of the capi
tol.
Later Secretary Bryan issued this
statement:
"I am glad to have the criticism
brought to the attention. I believe
in criticism of public officials. Criti?
cism is helpful. If a man mak^s a
mistake, criticism enables him to cor?
rect it, if he is unjustly criticised the
criticism helps him. I have had my
share of criticism since 1 have been
in public life, but it has not prevented
my doing what I thought proper to
do.
"In devoting a Part of my vacation
to lecturing I am doing what I be?
lieve to be proper and I have no fear
whatever that any unbiased person
will criticise me when he knows the
facts.
"For 17 years the sources of my
income have been writing and lectur?
ing, but each year I have made more
public speeches, without compensa?
tion and where I have paid my own
traveling expenses, than I have where
compensation was received. My earn?
ing rapacity has been large and 1
have made not only an income suffi?
cient for my immediate, needs, but
have saved, on an average, something
more than $10,000 a year.
"In accepting the office which 1
now hold, I gave up the opportunity
to add to my accumulations, for 1
do not expect to increase, during my
term, the amount I have laid aside
?that is, I am willing to forego what
advantage 1 might derive from the
acquiring of $40,000 more for the
privilege of serving the country In
this office during tho coming four
years. I will do more if necessary,
but I do not believe that fair minded
people will ask it of me.
"Therefore, until I see some reason
for ( banging my purpose, I expect
to lectur?? enough to bring my income
up to my expenses, these lectures to
be delivered during the time that
other officials give to their vacations.
In addition to supplementing my sal?
ary, I hope that my lectures do good
?people who attend them would not
do so if they did not think they re?
ceived their money's worth, btit I
would be glad to spend my vacations
resting instead of lecturing if I could
do so without eating up the amount
I have laid away as a protection
against, old age."
Senator Brlstow's resolution set
'out that from 1781? to 179S Thomas
Jefferson and Edmund Randolph
beld the office of tho secretary of
state at salaries of $:?,500 a year;
from 171*0 to 1S10 John .Marshall,
.lames Madison. James Monroe and
Julin Qulncy Adams served at $5,000;
from 1819 to lsr.;? Henry Clay, Mar?
tin Van Buren. Daniel Weitster, John
C. Calhoun and .lames Buchanan,
served at $6,000; from ISO:: to 1011.
William H. Be ward, James G. Blalne,
Thomas f. Bayard, Walter Q. Green ?
am, Richard Olney, John Sherman,
John Hay and BllhU Root served for
$8,000; and added:
"During this long period of time
no one of these eminent statesmen
was compelled to neglect the duties
of tho office because of the meagre
ness of salary."
"Whereas, the 'Great Commoner'
now holding that office, Hon William
J. Bryan, announced In the public
press that tbe salary of $1,000 per
month is not sufficient to enable him
to live with comfort, and thai the re
lull of the mcagrencss of the sularj
of $12,000 per annum he is compelled
to neglecl tin- duties of his office and
im upon the lecture platform In order
to earn a Ih ing, ami that
"Whereas, there are now pending
before the departmcnl of State mat?
ters of the highest Importance to the
nation affecting the relations of our
country with Mexico, Japan* Fngtand
and other foreign countries, that d"
tnand the most earnest, carcfUl and
continuous attention of the secretary
<d' state, therefore be it
"Resolved, That the president he
requested, if not incompatible with
the public Interests, to advise the
senate what would be a proper salary
to enable him to give bis time to the
discharge of his public duties, for
which he Is now being paid the sum
of $1,000 per month, and be it furth?
er
"Resolved, That the president be
respectfully requested to give this
subject as prompt attention as his
convenience will permit in order that
congress may take immediate steps
to relieve the country from the great
loss which it suffers by being de?
prived of the services of the present
secretary of state, though it is now
paying for such services at the rate
of $1,000 per month.
Senator Shafrofh declared ? Bot re
tary Bryan had assured him he did
not desire an increase of salary.
NEEDS LARGER SALARY.
Secretary of Suite Makes First Ap?
pearance on Platform Since Filter?
ing Cabinet.
Hendersonville, X. C July 13.?
William Jennings Bryan, secretary of
state, declared here that his salary
as a member of President Wilson's
cabinet was not suflicient to meet his
expenses. He gave this in explana?
tion of why he expected to continue
his work as a lecturer.
"As this is my first chautauqua lec ?
ture since becoming a member of
the cabinet," said Secretary Bryan,
"it may not be out of place to say
that I find it necessary to lecture in
order to supplement the salary which
I receive from the government. As I
have lectured for 18 years, this
method of adding to my income is
the most natural one to which to
turn and I regard it as exteremely
legitimate.
"I did not think it improper to do
from the chautauqua platform into
a presidential race and if I had been
elected I would have thought it 10
stepping down to return to the lec?
ture platform,. These meetings en
aide me to keep in touch with the
people."
No other reference to politics was
made by the secretary.
HOME HAVE GIVEN.
But City Nurse Has Not Received
Suflicient Funds to Provide for
Destitute Young Woman.
Nearly all people are sympathetic
by nature and their first impulse is to
assist the needy and extend a helping
! hand to the weak and helpless; but
many take it out in sympathetic
thoirghts while others satisfy then
souls with dreams of the great things
they would do and the wonderful
characters they would create?if they
only had plenty of money. Put
while they are dreaming of the suf?
fering alleviated and the hopeles*
hearts made to hope again, the hun?
gry remain hungry and the sick suf?
fer unrelieved for the lack of the
small sum that the dreamer could
give without missing it. The great

AMBASSADOR GALLED HOME.
PRESIDENT SUMMONS REPRE?
SENTATIVE IN MEXICO TO
WASHINGTON.
Situation Has Orown So BCJfOae That
Conference Between President,
Secretary Bryan ami Ambassador
to Mexico Is Necessary*
Washington, July 16.?President
Wilson today, after an early confer?
ence with Secretary Bryan over the
latest aspects <>f the Mexican situation
presented by the inquiries of foreign
powers as to the attitude of the
United States, ordered Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson at Mexico City to
proceed to Washington immediately
for a conference. Ambassador Wil?
son will hurry north on cither the
battleship Michigan or Louisiana
from Vera Cruz, if any delay would
i be entailed by waiting for a commer?
cial steamer. Officials here believe
that tiie almost total interruption of
traffic between Mexico <"ity and the
United States will force the ambassa?
dor to make his trip by water. He is
not expected here before July 23, at
the earliest.
It is believed in official and diplo?
matic circles that an important an?
nouncement of the. attitude of the
Cnited States in the pending situa?
tion will follow the ambassador's
conference with the president and
Secretary Bryan.
Commenting upon the announce?
ment that Ambassador Wilson had
been summoned to confer with Pres?
ident Wilson regarding the situation
in Mexico, Secretary Bryan tonight
said this step had been in contempla?
tion for some time. He refused to
discuss a suggestion that this state?
ment indicated the ambassador's re?
call was not brought about by the
action of the diplomatic body In Mex?
ico City in formulating a joint com?
plaint againr c attitude of the
United States towards the Huerta
government. The secretary would
not confirm or deny reports of the
meeting of foreign representatives in
Mexico.
There is much speculation in offi?
cial circles regarding Ambassador
Wilson's future, for it is generally be?
lieved his return to the Mexican cap?
ital is by no means certain. Mr. Wil?
son was thrown into close association
with Gen. Hureta iu the days pre?
ceding the overthrow of Madero and
immediately afterwards. One of his
first official communications to the
stat*? department after the coup d'
etat resulted in the death of Madero
and Suarcz, suggested that he be au?
thorized to extend the formal recog?
nition of the United States to the new
government.

Florence, July 12.?An election
will lie held in this county on Tues?

tion of issuing bonds to the extent of
$?06,000 for building good roads.
This amount, it i* provided, if voted
favorably upon, will he expended ga*
der the direction of a competent en
gineer.
The bill whereby the election ha*
been made poselble was pasawJ at
the last session of the South Carolina
Legislature, and is one of the Hoe
Mart well M Avers bills.
The great trouble just now is that
following clone on to this election,
two weeke later, the people will be
called upon to vote on the dispensary
or no dispensary, and the two coming
so close to rath other, and that of
the dispensary being such an Import
ant one. it js hard to tell tust what
the people ot the COUnt> will do when
it comes to voting on 1666,666 of

It is to be hoped however, that the

the dispensary is voted in or not.
