BULGARIA WANTS TURKS
TO BE DRIVEN TO WAR,

New York, Oct. 8.-Doctor
Schoonkof, of the Macedonian
Benevolent committee of Sofia,
has arrived here on a mission of
aid for the Macedonians. He is
a graduate of the department of
Philosophy of the University of
Pennsylvania and also a gradu-
ate of the University of Chicago.
Recently he returned to his ma
tive country.
we have waited for Is years."
he said, "since the treaty of Ber-
lin for the inauguration of the re-
forms and for the establishment
of the home rule that were prom
lsed by it. Instead we have been
made the slaves of the Turk
disfranchised in every court; our
women taken ruth1ess1y from our
homes, our goods, and our lives
placed absolutely at the mercy of
those who are merciful only when
they kill.
1t may seem strange to say
we are not trying to form a gov
eminent in Macedonia but such
is the fact. Our warfare is con-
Quoted simply with a view to force
Bulgaria to fight Turkey. Her
people are doing it with food, re-
cruits, arms and funds, but her
government has stood like the
rest of the powers and looked
on.

MORE ROOM NEEDED
FOR THE OLD SOLDIERS,

Atlanta, Oct. THE Board of
Trustees of the Soldiers Home
will ask the next legislature to
appropriate a sum sufficient to
erect and equip an additional cot
tage to be used for the purpose
of hospital for the inmates of
the Home who are too i'll to be
cared for for in the present quar-
ters.
There are at present fifteen old
soldiers suffering with some form
of paralysis, and of these seven
are bedridden and helpless. 1t
is for such as these latter that
the hospitals very badly needed.
There are no adequate facil-
tiles at the Home for the
treatment of severe cases, and
the trustees desire that provis-
ion be made by the state to take
charge of these patients where
they can be properly attended to.

Russia Shows No Intention
Of Evacuating Manchuria

New Cnwang, Manchuria, Oct
9.-The Russians are taking no
steps to restore the government
of New Chwang to the Chinese.
On the contrary, they are hast
ening the erection of extensive
government buildings and had adj
ded another gunboat to the naval
force here. Reports from north
ern Manchuria indicate thate no
movement has been made toward
the evacuation of that territory,
and Russian officials are discuss
ing the permanent occupation of
the points now held as being the
settled policy.
The Russian viceroy, Admir-
al Alexieff, has been conducting
Joint naval and military maneuv-
ers on agreat scale in the vicinity
of Port Arthur this week. Nine
ty Russian war vessels of all
classes were engaged.
Washington, Oct.9.-Sir Chen
Tung Liang-Cheng the minister,
had along conference with Score
tary Hay today regarding the
situation in Manchuria. The
minister received information
some time ago that there was no
apparent movement on the part
Russia indicating that the coun-
try would begin the evacuation of
Manchuria on Oct.8, as agreed,
and as stipulated in treaty
made with China. The Chinese
minister naturally feels keen1y
the conditions which exist, as it
is everywhere known that China
is in no position to enforce the
treaty and compel Russia to
evacuate AT present the con-
Germ of the United States is to
see that the agreements made
with China for the open ports in
Manchuria are carried out, re,
CARELESS of what Russia may do
either in evacuation or perma.
lnent control of the county.

FIRST NATIONAL BA
IN THE NEW QUAR-

The First National Bank is
moving into it's new home at the
the intersection of Grant and
Pine streets and Monday the
18th. the business of that phe-
nominally prosperousafnstitution
will be done across the elegant
marble counters of the finest lit
tie banking house in all the
South.
The history of this bank would
make story that would be ap-
preciated by the Financial Jour
nails of New York but we have
only few minutes in which to
refer to it's present prosperi-
ty which is a matter of gratifi-
cation to it's stock holders and
pride to the community.

In Fitzgerald Citizen, Oct, 9.
The above is pretty fair sam
pie OF the reports that few dear
Brethren are dealing out retail at
wholesale prices, against this
progressive man.
Earl Ward Pearce appears on
the stage of the Fitzgerald opera
house every Sunday afternoon at
3 o'clock sharp.
He is building up an institu-
tional work in this city and colo
ny, for the salvation of the boys
and girls. He is humorist, i'm
personator and lecturer combin-
ed. Moreover heisa sound Gospel
preacher. Next Sunday he will
deliver lecture, and tell the peo-
pie about the new and growing
work, while incidentally he will
make three faces, tell seven
stories, give twenty-three
gestures and furnish great deal
of wholesome entertainment.
His audiences are large and his
work is success. Don't miss the
opportunity of hearing him.

T l1lrnan on the Stand
In His Own Behalf

Lexington, S. G. Oct. 9.-James
H. Tillman was on the stand to-
day over four hours a witness in
his own behalf. For one full
hour he was subjected to the
fire of cross examination by
counsel for the state.
But one another witness was
placed on the stand by the de-
Tense, after which the defense
rested. Witnesses in rebuttal
placed on the stand by the state
were heard during the closing
hours. Splendid progress was
made today toward the confusion
of the trial. which already has
consumed nearly two weeks.

therefore beg space in your pa
per'to give few facts that your
readers may Judge between the
church and brother Pearce.
He came to the U. B. churc h
after giving his word of honor to
unite with the the church, and to
be governed by the Discipline of
the church, and to work for the
interest of the same church,
which obligation he failed to keep
and his first four morning SER
mons were to draft new rules to
control the church. He was
waited upon and pointed to the
rules of the church, which he re-
fused to accept.
The matter was taken to the
quarterly conference, and a COM
mittee appointed to con suit with
brother Pearce, and we supposed
that all wrongs were made right
as he agreed to drop the points of
objection but on the following
Thursday evening he wi1ful1y and
without cause broke that agree
ment and abused the church peo-
pie in the most shameful manner
and again on the following Sun
day evening, using the text found
in First Samuel, seventeenth
chapter, beginning at the thirty
eighth verse, and took the follow
ing stand Of David without armor
or sword, but coward enough to
hide behind his office in the
church and threaten anyone with
prosecution that disputed or dis
turbed his abuse of our people,
and at the close Of the abuse,
when brother moved to appoint
a committee to arbitrate the
trouble, he said, mo sir brother,
| will submit to no arbitration.
1t IS past that point. will have
none of it. These are facts that
manv outside of the church are
acquainted with. There is some
inside work that in charity to
Pearce has not been given to the
winds Of the city. The destruc-
ton of one years records of our
church, for which we are inform
ed WE COULD GIVE HIM A SUIT OF
STATE STRIPES if we choose to do
so.
Nov Mr.. Citizen,I cannot see
where the U. B. Church has

contest under such conditions is
deplorable.
The clerk in whose possession
the ballots and returns have been
since Tuesday refused to deliver
them to the managers who de-
handed them today for the pur-
pose of scrutinizing and making
formal consolidation.
The Enterprise is opposed to
fraud in any form and no man
has a right to make a plea
of fraud unless he himself has
clean hands.
We trust this wfang1e will soon
be ended it has hurt the county.

DISPENSARY ELECTION
MAY BE CONTESTED

AS we go to press the repre-.
sentatiyes the two factions are
assem- bled at the court house in
Irwinvil1e for the purpose of con-
solidating the returns which ac-
cording tolawand practice should
have been done by noon the day
following the election. Nobody
seriously doubts that fraud was
practised on both sides in more
precincts than one. The only
safety of either side consist in
the fact that the other fellows are
guilty also.
A contest is undesirable and a

YEAR OLD BOY
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT

Tuesday evening Gordia Ben
nett accident1y shot and serious
ly, if not fatally, wounded his
cousin, Ben Cornelius at the lat
ter's home near Nashville, this
county.
The particulars of the sad af.
fair, as given the Gazette are;
Gordia Bennett, fourteen or ff-
teen years old, was visiting his
cousins, the Cornelius boys, and
he and some of his p1aymates
started over to neighbours, slip.
ping out a revolver to carry with
them. Ben Cornelius, young
man of twenty years of age,
caught the boys with the weapon
a % Smith & Wesson pistol, and
took it away from them. He
fired it off in the air, and handed
it back to Gordia telling him to
put the thing away. Gordia says
he thought all the cartridges had
exploded, but as crued fate willed
it one of the deadly missives fail
ed to fire. In a playful mood the
boy pointed the gun at his cousin
and pulled the trigger. A sharp
report followed and Ben
Cornelius staggered and fell,
pierced through the breast.
Mr.. Cornelius was to be mar
ried next Sunday.
The tragedy is deeply regret
ted by both families and their
friends. At last reports Mr..
Cornelius was still alive, but in a
critical condition.

SEAS SECURED
FOR THE THIEVES,
But So Far Herman and
Johnson Have Evaded
Pursuers.

Manila, October, 8 lis p. M
1t is now learned that George
Herman and C. ]. Johnson, the
constabu1ary officers stationed
at Misamis, Mindano, now fugi-
tives from justice, not only took
So, 900 in cash from the safe, but
also turned most of the supplies
into cash before their dramatic
exit on the vessel they appropri-
ated.
They took the steamer Victor
ia, of 60 tons register, and got
sufficient coal from the steamer
Irene by threatening the captain
at the point of revolvers to carry
them to Baliango, a town on the
north shore of the island. There
they procured wood and water
before putting out to sea again.
They should have reached San
dagua, Borneo, today.
A cable was sent to the govern
or of Borneo advising of their de-
parture and at once dispatched
the coast guards steamer, Rang
er to look out for them. Her
man, who was recently promoted
to captaincy, was formerly a
non.commissioned officer in the
Ninth infantry. He comes from
Philadelphia. Johnson, a lieuten-
ant, was formerly a non-com-
missioned officer in the Eleventh
infantry. He is a native OF
Moosic, Pa.

USES SHOT GUN.
G. w. Lamb Shot While III
His Own Potato Patch
Last Night.

It is reported that last evening,
just before retiring for the night,
Mr.. G. w. Lamb, section foreman
on the F. o. & r. B. railroad
Glanced to look out of his window
and as the moon light was clear
he deserted some dark object in
his potato patch that strongly re-
.sembled a pine stump. He
knew his garden contained no
stumps, and furthermore, that
practicular likeness of a stump
seemed to possess life aud mo.
tive power. Accordingly Mr..
Lamb cautiously crept out to the
place and discovered that the
object was no less than boy in
the act of digging potatoes.
AS Mr.. Lamb had for some
months past been planning on
digging those very potatoes him

in knowing who the boy was and
why his fancies led him, at that

one of his upper limbs, and was
just conducting him across the
potato patch, when a gun shot
was heard from thefence, nearby

jail at Irwinvillc.
Mr.. B. E. Wilcox who has beer
on his bond on a charge of COW

and he is held on the two charges
