GREECE AND TURKEY.

The racket between Greece and Tur-
key, and perhaps also between the vari-
Gus European powers, has commenced,
and although there is possibility that it
may not develop anything serious, the
Eastern question just now is very shaky.
The trouble, as the readers of THE EN-
oU1RER have already been told, origina-
ted in the island Of Crete. Some few
weeks ago the Cretans revolted against
Turkish rule and the Turks Immediately
began a series of massacres similar to
those which, for the past three or four
years, have been going on in Armenia.
The Cretans are Of the same stock as
the Greeks, and the two peoples have
many interests in common. The Greeks.
therefore, could not look silently on
while their kindred we're being massa-
cred, and the sentiment of the nation
soon became aroused to such an extent
that King George saw that he must either
take hand in the struggle, or step down
from the throne and leave the country.
He had no idea of doing anything like
this; but promptly sent fleet to Crete to
help his Christian countrymen, and it is
this action that has made additional
trouble.
Several of the European powers are
financially interested in Turkey, and
those powers which are not so interested,
are interested otherwise in the other
powers. This places practically all of
the European powers in the position
of being champions of Turkey. This
fact was not realized so keenly previous
to last Saturday, as it is now.
There was a strong fleet of British,
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1897-02-24
ATTORNEYS COSTS.

The members of the Yorkville bar are
more than pleased over the passage OF
the bill restoring what is known as "at-
torney's COSTS" and people who have, or
expect to have litigation, should be
pleased also.
Experience has proved that, after all,
the cost system is rather more just than
otherwise.
The costs referred to amount to about
Sl7 in law cases, and $40 in equity cases.
In equity cases, the schedule runs this
way 4: Summons and complaint, s.; trial,
s.; reference, S.; judgment and execu-
tion, 50. The schedule is the same in law
cases, except that there is no cost for
reference :" but an additional charge OF
81 for the jury.
The principal merit of the cost system
lies in the fact that it lays the expenses OF
small suits almost entirely upon the los
ing party. In most cases, lawyers are
willing to prosecute just claims for the
cost allowed by law, and that defendant
who resists a just claim should be made
to pay all expenses, seems to be nothing
but right. Since the abolition of the cost
system, both plaintiff and defendant in
each case have been called upon to pay
the full fees of their respective attorneys,
and, under the circumstances, there was
necessarily hardship for one or the other
of the parties, no matter which way a
given case was decided. The restoration
of the cost system makes things right
again.

force with years. To the stranger
who visits their humble homes in the
steep mountain passes, the best pass
port to their hearts and hospitality is
to speak in favor of Greece and the
union of their island with that coun-
try. Cretan women have given all
they possessed in behalf of their
country's cause; they have gone out
on the steep mountain defles, shoul-
dering their rifles; they have fought
side by side with their fathers, hus-
bands, brothers and sweethearts they
have in all battles against the Turkish
troops stood in equal valor with the
men, asking no more. and giving no
less. Deeds upon deeds of heroism
are recorded of the Sphakiot women.
Away up in the mountain passes they
have gone single-handed and in small
bands waging war on the Turks. The
Turkish blockhouses, with their SOL
diers, have been time and again raided
and devastated by these Cretan hero
ines.
