The Reform party in South Gar
olina is strong enough and honest
enough to purify itself, if the con-
servatives will only tote fair, for
instance: In Edgefeld county vote
for Thurmond for Solicitor. We
Reformers voted for and elected a
conservative to the Legislature.
Now turn about is fair play be-
sides Thurmond is a better man
than Nelson. The returns in Edge
field county show that the con-
servatives voted almost solidlv for
Nelson in the first race. We are
trying to get together as one broth
erhood in Edgefeld county and we
beg conservatives to tote fair, 9th
erwise reformers will learn to dis
trust their professions.

that the Reformers will elect Earle
on next Tuesday.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1896-09-02
WHY EARLE9

Because he is, ofthe two candi-
dates, much the abler, has better
training and more experience.
Because his personal character
is without flaw or blem1sh no
shadow has ever rested for mo-
ment on his fair fame.
Because his record as Judge is,
that he enforced the law dispassion-
ately and lmpartially; he favored the
enforcement of the Dispehsary law as
it stands on the Statue books not as
the State officials construed it.
Because on the stump he behaved as
man ought who seeks so high an Of
fee as Upited States Senator.
Because no investigating committee
will ever b" appointed on the part of
the United States Senate to investi-
gate his rec rd.
Because, being the peer of any other
United States Senator in his physical
appearance in his mental endowments,
and in his moral attributes, South Car
olina will never be ashamed of him as
her representative.
Vote for Earle, Reformers of Edgetield
and you will never have to make any
excuses to anybody, and your own con-
sciences will approve the act.

A conference Is Urged.

London, Jam 2S.-Mr. Astley Cooper, the organizer of the Pan-Britaanic ath- letic movement, was recently requested by the American University Athletic association to make overtures to the British association looking to the ar rangement for an international contest in 1896. After making inquiries MT, Cooper replies that there does not ap- pear to be d very strong disposition on the part of British amateur athletes to hasten any future contests with Ameri- can amateurs, this feeling being due to the charges made by Lord Dunraven against the Defender and dissatisfac- tion at the laxity of the amateur status of diversity athletes in America. MT. Cooper personally. however. urges the holding of a conference between author ized representatives of the university athletes of the two countries

Plum kett, which is to be given at the Fly perion on Wednesday evening, January 29, promises to be very interesting and have always been exceedingly inter- esting because he is an orator of high standing. and his readings are charmes in themselves. He attempts the lecture of no place he has not personally visit ed and studied. The obtaining of in formation and views in this way gives him thorough knowledge of his sub iects. His lectures on Ireland, and Paris are remembered with pleasure, and 'fSt. Peter's and the Vatican can not fail to be both instructive and inter- esting.

Armenians in Extremity.

London, Jan. 23.--The Standard pub fishes a dispatch from Constantinople, under the date Of January g, which says that the Turkish ministers assem- bled at a meeting on Tuesday evening, the alleged occasion of which was the receipt by the porte of a telegram from Shakir Pacfa, the imperial commits sioner appointed to carry out the re- forms in Armenia, reporting that the Armenians are reduced to the last ex- tremity, and are being decimated by hunger and cold, and are committing revolutionary acts out of sheer despair

come to light more than once elsewhere that Turkish petty officers will allow arms and ammunition to pass unseen by them if a sufficient bribe is offered, There is no reason why this should not be the case at Zeitoun. One feature of this case should be carefully considered, The Idea of the Turk is that killing is the sole object of military operations, Killing any Arme- nian Is as justihable as is killing those who are in revolt. More than once, when the reserves have been called out to reinforce. the army at zeitoun, the men have said; Why go to zeitoun? Here are Armenians. Let us kill them here and save the bother of going off to Zeitoun to kill them Hence, so long as the Armenians in Zeitoun are left alive, so long the whole Armenian popu- lation will he in perpetual danger of
 massacre as frightful as those at Ourfa and Binjik,
 This situation is one which distinctly calls for European intervention like that in the Lebanon in 1860. The prov inees of Adana and Aleppo can be tenn | porarily occupied and order restored | there by European troops. The lives of the Christian population of these | provinces can be made secure in no other way. Such an intervention, lim- ited to those two provinces, would not threaten the integrity of the empire and might be executed without endangering the peace of Europe.
 An outbreak occurred at Amasia on November 20. Bekir Paeha, the Muter- sarif, stopped it at considerable person. al risk. and has forced the people to 1 restore the goods footed from the market and almost all are recovered.

 damage done has been comparatively slight Marsovan suffered more than any other town in the district, the shops having been footed and 120 Ar
 mcnians killed. But Moslems who broke l into Armenian houses have been iinpros- \ oned, and the Kaimakani issues bread

 at Vezir-Kopeu in the same province l The Kaimakam of zir-Kopeu tried to resist the mob, but was overpowered He then telegraphed for troops, which \ were sent. and stopped the attack on 1 the Christians, after about fifty had ] been Killed.

 London, Jan 2S.-A dispatch from Constantinople to the Pail Mall Gazette says;
 An offensive and defensive alliance has been concluded between Russia and Turkey. The basis of the treaty Is on the lines of the Hounkiar-Iskelessl agreement, The treaty has been sign ed here and its ratification has been ex- changed at St. Petersburg between Aarej Pacha and the czar
 M. Cambon, French ambassador to Turkey, had an audience with the sul- tan on January 2l, which lasted two hours, This tends to show that France Is in all probability a member of the new alliance"
 The Gazette's correspondent is be- ieved to be inside of the British embas- sy. The Hounkiar-I -Iskelessl agreement dates back to 1888.
 The treaty bound the Russian and Turkish governments to mutually as- sist one another to resist foreign az gression and to help each other in case Ol lhltiiidi uollSSIp. <aS dihSS WoS dt the time of the conclusion of the agree ment in a state of utter collapse, Rus aia waved the matter of assistance promised by Turkey and received in- stead permission, in the event of Rus sia's being at at war, to close the Oar danelles to warships of all nations. The western powers refused to recognize the | treaty, which was soon tacitly abandon ed.
 | The Pail Mall Gazette guarantees the reliability of the sources of information of it's representative at Constantinople. On June s, 1883, the treaty of Houn- | kiar-1skelessi was signed between the Russian and Ottoman empires. This | closed the Dardanelles in case of war l to the enemies of Russia and ratified the most intimate alliance, offensive and defensive between the sultan and | the czar It was to be binding for eight years. The treaty excited the l most violent and bitter resentment among the western powers. For a time a general EuroAan war seemed inevit- | able. A monument near the shores of the Bosporus was erected at the time in commemoration of the peace so hap 1 oily secured by the treaty of Hounkiar- I Iskelessi; the inscription expresses a l hope that it may be perpetual.

BRAVE MOTHER IBRAHlM.
A French Woman Soldier Who Has Been
In Many Battles.

A French Woman Soldier Who Has Been
In Many Battles.
A woman 70 years of age is an active
and useful member of the French army.
She has been wounded many times, seri-
ously in many cases, but appears to
have many years of activity still before
her.
Her last adventure was to fall off her
bicycle, which she had just learned to
ride, and open an old wound. She has
already recovered from that little acct
dent.
Mother Ibrahim, as this remarkable
old person is called, is the cantiniere of
the Second zouaves. She has followed
her regiment all over the world, sharing
all its perils and hardships. She e4.
posed herself to fire as cheerfully as the
bravest soldier in the regiment.
The cantinieres of the French army
are famous in song and story, and their
services are often very valuable. They
carry water and other kinds of drinks
and refreshments, and many a wounded
soldier has owed his life to their aid.
It is peculiarly interesting to call at
tention to this old woman just now, be-
cause many people are under the inn
pression that women have only begun to
do extraordinary things within the past
few years. The venerable cantinicre
