 Replying to the telegrams sent to the Turkish government by Prince Ferdinand In which he said that in declaring the independence of Bull garia, he had been compelled to respect the voice of the nation and expressed the hope that the friendly relations between the two countries would con- tinue, Turkey says she has Invited the powers to confer on the situation, and as her rights are guaranteed by the powers she will look to them for their defense.
 The Yenai Gazette, the organ of the Grand VIsier, to-day said: I've are ready to defend our rights with all our strength. As the action of Bull garia is not only directed against us, but against the powers. we should ask the powers to defend their inter ests and protect the provisions of the treaty of Berlin

Our Voices.

The typical American voice - even
the fabulous fortunes of our visiting
heiresses cannot gild to molten, golden
notes" the voice of their possessors.
The English forgive us all-pickles,
soap, beer and beef-all but our voices.
They shudder openly and berate in pri-
vate.
We take a bit more interest in what
they think and say of us than we do
in the opinions of others.
We are gradually getting in such
close touch with them in high places,
we are so gently but definitely build
ing bits of republlcanism into their
structure by the peaceful conquest Of
the cradle rocking process, that we feel
interested in them.
When the cradle rockers shall have
reached place and power we would
vastly prefer that the voice that con-
soles them for the dwindling limita-
lions of class and inspires them to a
realization of mass should be one that
leaves nothing to be desired in the way
Of its quality. force, pitch and time.
For ourselves we do not crave voices
like the English, for all their present
superiority TO our own.
We want still to have a distinctly
American voice, but we desire that 1t
be like the other things that make us
what we are-worthy, effective, power
full and attractive.
The present voice is an abuse rather
than a use Of naturally good qualities.
1t classes in with number Of things
that seem to be American, but are
really undeveloped or perverted forms
Of what win eventually be Strengthened
out.

Importance Of Good Roads.

The Gaffney Is. c. Ledger gives the
following fact and comment, which ar
ford a practical argument on the sub
ject of highway improvement in a
nutshell:
Some Cherokee county land sold the
other day at public cutlery and brought
from SIC to $3.50 per acre. This land
was twelve miles from the county seat
at that. If we had macadam roads
this same land would have brought
$50 to 500 per acre. Half a million
dollars spent in building good roads
in Cherokee would mean an increase
of a million dollars in the value Of our
farm lands alone. VIII people never
awake to their own interests and be-
gin doing something for themselves. or
will they continue to abide in the
mud?

service have stimulated this move

by the officials that highway improve

rural delivery is extended, and one Of
the conditions for establishing a new
route is that the roads must be in good
condition. 1t is claimed also that the
