REV. DIR. Isaac n. Funk, Of New
York, claims to have walked and taik-
ed with the ghost Of Henry Ward
Beecher last week, and Rev. DR.. Isaac
M. Baldeman, Of the First Baptist
church of New York, told his congre-
CATION very emphatically last Sunday
morning that Rev. DR.. Funk is liar.
It seems that both Of the reverend gen.
tlemen are spiritualists.: DR.. Funk be-
lieves in both good and bad spirits and
DR.. Baldeman holds that as only evil
spirits appear to men after death, DR..
Funk lied because it is impossible that
the spirit Of Henry Ward Beecher
could have been evil.

Margaret, youngest daughter Of Mr..

accidental application Of Acarbolic acid.
1t seems that on Monday the little girl
got at the acid bottle in some way. and
before the fact became known to the
elders of the house, applied some Of the
fiery fluid to her face. The resulting
burn was very painful and for a time
it looked as If the little sufferers, eye

The probable outcome was still mat

condition was rather more hopeful.

subject of considerable interest

ments was quite elaborate and highly
pleasing. Many ladies from the town
visited the store during the day and
also quite number from the country.
The attendance from the country was
hardly as large as it would have been
under more favorable circumstances;
but still, considering the weather and
the general rush Of farm work. the
country was very we'll represented.
The display was very creditable and
the ladies in charge Of 1t received many
compliments from the visitors for their
skill and taste. .

TROUBLE IN THE BALKANS.
Not Yet Clear Whether II be War OF
Only Common Riot.

Only Common Riot.
At this distance from the scene OF
the trouble, it has not yet been practi-
cable to get a clear idea Of the exact
nature of the disturbances in the Bal
kans; but still from the reports that
are being published, it seems to be
pretty clear that the situation threat
ems developments Of far reaching i'm
portance.
Looking, it is presumed to settle
ment of the turmoil and strife between
the Christians and Mohammedan sub
jects Of the sultan in Macedonia and
other provinces, Russia and Austria
some time ago proposed certain re-
forms, the most important Of which
was that the local military police forces
should be composed Of Christians as
as we'll as Mohammedans.
The Macedonians and other dissat-
isfed peoples, were not disposed to
think of the proposition; but neverthe-
less the sultan agreed to the arrange
ment, and this has been the cause Of
the present outbreaks.
It seems that the source Of most OF
the trouble lies In the fact that the
Mohammedans and Christians are not
able to get along peacefully together.
Among the fiercest and most trusted
people Of the sultan's empire are the
Albanians. They are Mohammedans,
and are of a distinctively military in
clination. The police guards are AL
banians, and wherever there is Turk
ish force the Albanians are the first
dependence Of the sultan.
The reforms proposed by Russia
and Austria met their most severe op-
position at the hands Of the Albanians.
Through jealousy, religion or other
considerations these Albanians would
have no mixing of Christians in their
ranks, and they were the cause Of the
outbreaks that occurred last week up
on the inauguration Of the reforms de-
scribed.
According to the reports, there has
been considerable fighting between the
Albanian insurgents and the Turkish
regulars, and the sultan is somewhat
apprehensive that the Albanian palace
guards may give trouble in sympathy
with their countrymen.
But the trouble Is not confined to the
Albanians. The Macedonians and Bull
garians, who desire independence Of
Turkey, are giving trouble on their
own account, and scattered bands are
ranging the Balkan country in an effort
to incite a general uprising. The Lon
don Times of last Saturday has the
following from it's Sofia correspondent,
relative to recent attack by Turkish
regulars on insurgents in the village
Of CarbintZi:
"A Turkish cavalry squadron, enter
ing the village at dawn, discovered a
band of twenty-four insurgents under
two Bulgarian officers. The squadron
was then considerably reinforced by
Turkish regulars and Bashi- -BaZouks.
THE Macedonian band occupied a
strongly built house and refused to
surrender. The women and children
in the house were urged to withdraw.
but, fearing Turkish molestation, re-
manned.

DR.. Siler did not find quite the number
Of women that he expected, but was
greatly surprised, he said, to see GER
tain faces among the men in the places
he entered. He thought the time had
arrived for another raid by the police
and to satisfy himself that it was le-
gally as we'll as morally possible to
close all the houses within the city
limits, took home a copy Of the city
code, which he proposes to study care
fully. Members Of the Anti-Saloon
League are very much in earnest in
this effort to actually close every ques-
tionable house in the city.

WITHIN THE TOWN.

The members Of the county board
Of registration were at their post as
usual on last Monday; but they had
practically nothing to do. This being
an "off year." registration Is dull.
Rev. E. P. Lindsay preached three
able sermons in connection with the
observation Of the sacrament Of the
Lords supper in the A. r. P. church
last Sunday. One was preached on
last Friday night, the second on Sat-
urday morning and the third on Sum-
day morning.
There were not nearly so many
people in Yorkville last Monday, sales
day for April as there were on sales
was that most Of the people are busy.
About half a dozen Negro women
left for New York last Monday night
to try their fortunes in that city. They
have been induced by a Negro emf
grafton agent to believe that they will
find ready employment as chamber
maids, nurses and cooks at wages
ranging from SIG to s25 month.
THE ENQUIRER has it pretty
straight that the Carolina and North
Western railroad people are serious
ly considering the idea of removing
their depot to its old site at the foot
of Congress street. The move is under
contemplation because of the refusal
of the town council to give switching
facilities across east Liberty street.
Because of its inability to cross the
street with its sidetrack, the company
is unable to get it's cars up to the de-
pot. Down at the old site there Is
an abundance of room.

time the solicitor will call the case.
Tillmans attorneys have not announc-
ed what their purpose is, and they may,
after ALL move for change Of venue.
That does not necessarily mean that
the change will be granted, and as
stated, the idea Is prevalent that the
case will come up and trial entered
upon when it Is called. 1t Is said that
the defense will have in the neighbor-
hood Of 80 witnesses. The prosecution
Will also have large number, and II
the case Is tried 1t Is generally sup
posed that it will take up two weeks II
not more. There will be great array
Of legal talent, and every point Of law
will be brought out or be combatted
with vigor. No doubt many interest,"
ing points will be raised and argued,
and these are expected to take up a
great deal of the time of the court.
The Associated Press will likely nave
a special report Of the trial, and 1t Is
known that several northern newspa-
pers are making arrangements to have
representatives on hand. Local news
paper men have already made arrange
ments for their own accommodation in
the court house, because there Is ex-
pected to be such jam Of people In
the court house that there would be no
facilities for reporting the trial In full
unless accommodations were previous
ly arranged for. On the side of the
defense Col. George Johnstone has
been added to the list Of lawyers al
ready retained. The prosecution will
be conducted by Solicitor Thurmond,
aided by Mr.. Bellinger and Mr.. CraW-.
ford as chief assistants. On both sides
there are other lawyers who are doing
some of the preliminary work Of pre-
pairing the case"
