Possessed by an hereditary hatred of the Turks
which has been inf1amed by the arrest mprison-
ment and Punishment of his father and grand
father for alleged revolutionary actions Boris
Sarafoff, the young leader OF the Macedonian
revolutionary movement. is a personality of in
terest at this time. when the eruption Of vol
canic matter from the crater Of the Balkans is
a little more menacing than usual In view of
the possibilities OF an overflow his movements
are Of Importance. for it is said that his rule
among his followers is absolute. Although only
thirty years old, he has the reputation Of hav-
ing more blood on his hands than any other per-
sonage in Europe except the Commander of
the Faithful"
Sarafoff was born in the Turkish village of
Ljubjechoyo the home of his ancestors for more
than two hundred years. His parents were Bull
garians. The hereditary hatred of the Ma
hometan religion and the Turks dates back to
1913, when the Turks endeavored to compel the
Bulgarians of the district to become followers
of the doctrines Of Mahomet. Damian, one Of
Sarafoff's ancestors, persuaded them that death
was better than the renunciation of Christianity
and organized a formidable revolt In the eigh-
teenth and nineteenth centuries others ancestors
took prominent part in anti-Turkish move
ments
1t was evident at early age that Sarafof
had mental powers of more than the ordinary
calibre. and at the age of ten years he sent
to SaIonica TO attend the Bulgarian High School
there. While studying a this school that which
did much to crystalline his inherent feeling
against the Turks occurred
One day a cavalcade entered the city It's
marching was coupled with the clanking of
chains. The chains were on the limbs of Mace
DOMAIN Bulgarians. At the approach of the
slowly moving body of men and their prisoners
many of the people of the city could be seen
running toward the street down which it was
coming AS might be expected. the schoolboys
were among the first at the scene. One Of the
latter Sarafoff. fourteen years old.
Watching the faces of the prisoners as they
were dragged by, doubtless with sympathetic
emotions. he caught sight of two faces he recog-
nized They were the faces of his father and
his grandfather. For taking part in some sup
posed revolutionary movement they had been
arrested The hereditary hatred OF the Turks
instantly bore fruit in action He sprang forth
from the crowd of bystanders and dashed him
self against the Gordon of mounted Turkish
guards. AS was TO be expected he did not sue
coed in breaking through and he received a
lashing from the whips of the guards.
This did not daunt him. and still smarting
from the pain, he made his way through the
crowded streets to the gates of the prison into
which his father and grandfather had been
committed. OF the sentry he demanded admis-
sion He was called a Christian dog. but. dis

brought him 70 his present place of command.

The Greater Salem Commercial Club

tion Of good roads. The matter had

vious meeting by County Judge Scott,
who declared that the citizens of sa

shut the farmers all out, It wouldn't be
six months before we'd all be climbing
over the wall. and becoming farmers
