Jordan out of the buggy, which
was smashed.
Mi. Jordan was not seriously
injured. It is said the auto was
travelling some. The gear chain
had broken and the machine was
beyond control.
The Mt. Hebron road, as every
one knows, is narrow, barely
wide enough for one team and
impossible for teams to pass ex-

have been many narrow escapes
from death there, and one irate
property owner says he'll use q

Kitchins speech yesterday
fine? And isn't he the handsome
man! No wonder the ladies all
like him. He's got a way OF
making friends which few men
are fortunate enough to possess.
And that ready, pleasant smile,
and easy, graceful self-possessed
manner! Nothing sour or dis
gruntled about William Walton
Kitchin. No, sirt Just an un-
affected, genial gentleman, who
knows the value of a smile and a
pleasant word.
He was nightly pleased over
those flowers on the Judges
desk. and insisted upon knowing
the names of the ladies who
brought them. who were: Mrs.
c. E. Pless, Mrs. W. P. Bartlett,
Miss Claudio Sample, Miss May
Smith. Mrs. Tom Carson and
Miss Norma Bryson- all good
Democrats.

Prot. Thomas stirred your pulse
with the soul-stiring airs they

success it was.

control the action of the Turkish au-
thorities. They were expected to
shadow the inspector general, to indi-
cate to him the reforms which they
thought would prove helpful, and to
listen attentively to the complaints
of the Christian inhabitants. They
were ordered and authorized to inves-
tigate all complaints that were
brought to their attention, but unfor-

to be held in the presence of a Turk
ish functionary-in other words under
circumstances where no Christian
peasant, after 900 years of Turkish SUI
premacy, would dare to tell the truth.
Something more than moral support
was required to make the slave of CEN
turtles stand up and defend himself.
In addition to the restraint of the
civil agents, there were appointed a
large number of foreign officers to
serve with the Turkish constabulary.
An italian general was placed in COM
mand of the constabulary reorganiza-
ton scheme, and to him were attached
many of the foreign officers. The
scheme proved Intellectual from the
beginning Instead of commanding the
gendarmerie in the field, the sultan
held, and imposed his view upon the
powers, that the foreign officers were
merely to act as instructors in schools
for aspirant constables. Six months,
delay of tragic importance to the
hunted Christian peasantry of the
Macedonian highlands, was spent in
discussing the question whether the
European officers should wear Chris
tan caps or the Turkish fez.
In the meanwhile the willy sultan
was more than friendly. Those of the
foreign officers who could be reached
in that way were loaded with rich
presents. Some of these presents
were undeniably of kind that could
