"Saloniki, Jan. 12.--Bulgarian So cialists are organizing successive dem onstrations in order to bring about a change in the government, according to dispatches. CHANGES SUGGEST ED IN GOVERNMENT Secretary of War Believes Time Has Come For Amendments to Fundamental Law - j New York, Jan. 10.?Secretary of War Baker today declared himself for "some radical changes' in the admin istration of the government, including the seating of cabinet members either in the senate or the house. He was addressing a meeting of '?mothers, wives and sisters" called by the New York League for Political Education. "I believe there should be some real changes in the relations between the executive and the legislative branches of our government," Mr. Baker said. *T believe members of the cabinet should have seats in one or the other house and should be present to defend the policies of their departments. ' "They should have the right to an swer questions asked of them. No head of a department should have! questions fired at him and then have his department sacrificed on the floor J of either house without the head of] that department being present to put'! in his defense. "The writers of the constitution tried to aim between the king of the! olden, days and the mob. They pro-j Tided for both. They made the pres- | ident responsible for the government I of the nation, but gave him little pow-| cr. They conferred on congress great powers, but no responsibiilty. "T am not speaking now of Presi dent Wilson's administration. The same thinfr has happened in every i administration, even in that of Presi dent McKinley when the strong per sonal friendship between the presi dent and Senator Hanna, leader of the j senate, made harmony as nearly pos- i sible as it ever has been in our gov- j ornment. In every administration.; notably in that cf Mr. Roosevelt, there! has been a clash between executive j and legislative branches." DEATHS. Marion, Jan. 10.^?Marion was; shocked on Wednesday morning when ! it was learned that Mrs. Wiliam C. j Power had passed away at an early. hour. Friends knew that she had been j in her room at her boarding house with a bad cold and asthma but little! did they dream that the end was so j near." The dectea&ed was in her Sothj year and had been quite active up to the present time. She was twice mar- j ried, first to a Mr. McEachern and j rhen to the late Rev. William C.'I Power, who was a Methodist minister' md had charges all over the State. She was Miss Lou Evans and was born j md reared in Marion. Besides nu- ? nerous nieces and nephews the fol-1 lowing children survive: William C. Power, John Montague Power, Walter i Power and Mesdames Robert Teskeyl Df Charleston, M. C. Woods of this: place and Miss Julia Power of Wash- j ngton, D. C. .Capt. William Evans j s her brother and Mrs. Eliza Jane j Svans is a sister. J Florence. Jan. 10.?Isaac Sulzbach- j jr, one of the oldest and most promi-j lent citizens of Florence, died in Phil tdelphia Thursday night following. a? stroke of paralysis which he suffered | >n Sunday night. The body will be j Drought to Florence Sunday morning.! irriving on Atlantic Coast Line train I !Co. 82, which is due here at 9.10 and ?rill be met at the station by a num-j ?er of the friends of the family, in- j :luding the pallbearers. The funeral J procession will proceed at once to the Jewish cemetery, where the funeral services will be held. Rabbi Hirsch of, Sumter will conduct the services. Mr. Sulzacher had been in falling j health for some time. He had never; fully recovered from the shock oc casioned by the death of his wife, and! since that time had been living most J of the time in Philadelphia, where he; had been under the constant watch! find care of a celebrated physician. ; His friends did not know of the se- j riousness of his condition until yes-1 terday. when advices were received i from Philadelphia that his recovery! was improbable. Mr. Sulzbacher came to Florence over 36 years ago and entered the jewelry business which has borne hisj name continuously since 1884. Tie was successful in establishing a business that has become known throughout the State for its solidarity ar*d in tegrity. Several years ago he gave up the active direction of the business, j relinquishing it to his son, Isadorei Sulzbacher, who had; always been as- ; sociated with his father in business. ? Mr.'Sulzbacher was about 76 years j old. Tie married Miss Schwerin of! Sumter. The family has occupied aj high position in this community for years. Mr. Sulzbacher was at all times industrious in his business, but no also took a most active and heart- 1 felt interest, in the affairs of his homo! city and his counsel was frequently; sought in matters of public moment. TTo was always ready to do his part in j any movement for the upbuilding of j Florence commercially, educationally \ and morally. Mr. Sulzbacher had a] great many warm friends in Florence.! all of whom will liear of his death with I the deepest regret. He leaves one son. Isadore Sulzbacher. who is now in] Philadelphia, having been called there! on Sunday by the announcement of his father's illness. i Marriage Licenses. Colored: Owens Mickens and Ella Wadkins, Oswego.

BRYAN AT HIS OLD JOB 'Issues Explanation of His Ad vocacy of Compromise On Treaty - I Chicago. Jan. 10.?William Jen nings Bryan told reporters today that he and President Wilson '"agree in purpose." "We both want immediate ratifica tion of the peace treaty and a speedy establishment of the league of na tions," he said. "It is simply a differ ence of opinion over a method and not a purpose. "There is no reason why advocacy j of a compromise should be interpret- > ed as opposition to . the . president. Mr. Wilson is an official and his rec ommendations travel by their, own weight. "The constitution gives the presi dent the right to make recommenda tions to congress. It gives congress j the right to disregard the recommen-' dations just as it empowers congress j to pass laws and the president, to ve- I to them." Mr. Bryan said , S6 senators favor ' ratification of the treaty hut differ as to reservations. He auovcated a | compromise so as to keep the treaty j from becoming a campaign issue, ad- j ding: j '"If the Republicans insistj upon res- | ., ? . K-' ervations that the Democrats can not accept then the Democrats will be in a.good position to,take it as an issue before the people." Chicago, Jan. 10.?Open discussion in the United States senate? "where concessions may be asked and given" was advocated by W.'J. Bryan today as a means of making a compromise on the peace treaty. Mr. Bryan was addressing the Iroquois club. "If no compromise can be reached." he said, "we must acquiesce for the present with the Republican major ity.' He proposed that in that case enough Democratic votes bo with drawn to permit the Republicans a constitutional two-thirds vote by which the treaty and the league of na-j tions covenant would be ratified with I reservations and allow "the people to; pass judgment" at the polls. Mr. Bryan very emphatically stated! that there has been no "split" in the Democratic party and that such a inclusion should not be drawn from t. adresses of himself and President Wilson at the Jackson day banquet. "The presidents letter read at Washington." continued Mr. Bryan, "contains words open to construction that indicate to me that compromise is possible. The president did well it Paris. He did more than we could expect any man to do." Mr. Bryan said his plan of compro mise or. the alternative of allowing the Republican majority to record its will was "just the simple old Ameri can plan of majority rule' With rat-1 ification accomplished, he said, "then we will have peace and the league of nations and vre can go to work." "The constitution gives the senate the right f ratify upon its own terms," minority and we must, ac quiesce with the majority. It is abhorrent that ratification must be de layed for 4 months because this is a , government where no one man can tell i another what he must. do. "Who has the authority to say that I the president will or will not accept a reasonable comprrmise. My idea simply is to suggest a way out. 11 have not left the beaten track and I j only apply old rules to new'conditions.? The boll weevil conference on the 15 th instant, under the auspices of the liemson College extension department, should be attended not only by every farmer of Sumter county, but by ev ery banker, merchant and other busi ness man of this city and the other i towns of the county. The results off the boll weevil invasion may not be: disastrous this year, as weather con- j ditions may not be faovrable for the! rapid multiplication and spread ofj the pest throughout the county from ! the known centers of infestation, but: i this no man knows nor should any; one count upon the weather helping them to fight the weevil and make a' full crop. A wet summer means rap- j id spread of the weevil and little cot ton per ac re. The experts who will j speak at the conference will tell the farmers how to combat these condi- | tions and what cr?ps to plant on the I acreage not given up to cotton. The , business men and bankers will be in- ' terested in hearing what the market ing experts and live stock men will ' have to say about the necessary c*- : operation between business men and farmers if this county is to continue M to prosper agriculturally under Ixdi^ weevil conditions. The town that buids houses is the. town that grows in population and business. The business men of .Sum ter, who depend upon the people gen erally for patronage, will find that house building will pay big profits in directly, even though they do not re ceive 12 per cent net on the invest ment from the monthly rentals. Barbecue and Hot Supper. There will be a barbecue and hot. supper at Dinkins 'Mill on the night of January 16th to which everybody is invited. Every viand that is calculat- ; ed to tempt the appetites of hearty eaters and epicures will be served. It will be a real old-fashioned country^ barbecue and supper, with the modern^ trimmings and accessories. Be sure to 1 be there if you want to have a good time. i Panama.
