Young had been sick for several weeks
but no one expected her death SO sud
denly. She was the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. ]. A. Mcconnell. formerly
OF York but now of Livingston. a well
known family in Sumter county. She
was fine young Christian woman, a
member for years of the Presbyterian

Too Much Rain.
The Succarwo ochee river which has
been far into the lowlands here has
begun to fall, all the corn and cotton
planted In the bottom was ruined
Many of the farmers planted over
their crop for the third time on ac-
count of the incessant rainfall in Sum-

ton. so very little travelling can be
done for a few days.
Bridges Washed Away.
Many of the small bridges near here
have been washed away and one OF
the largest bridges. known as Harris

week, but until then no travelling can
be done on that road to the town.

Europe has ali the elements Of disin-
tsEration within II. Its population has

Giles are suflcient to tear asunder all
binding forces. over this vibrant ex-
plosive MAS Q constitution has been
placed which has already been over
thrown and restored. 1t Is easy to be
cynical as to the future. For those
who are inveterately optimistic II IL
diffcult TO shake OF apprehension. It
takes a large faith In humanity, and
the humanity OF the Balkans in par
ticular, to be sanguine as to the out
come-and yet such faith may be
rightly placed.
Now the position with the Turk Is
this: He has taken the pledge and has
sketched out for himself an orderly
existence. Is there that In him which
win sustain him in his new life? Are
there to be found not only In the Turk
but In the other races In European
Turkey those elements which make for
stable government under which all
may liver One must confess that such
q question is q poser. 1t might be an
swered that IL there be the desire and
the will to live together "modus vi

But this bess the whole question. 1t
serves. however. to restate the prob
lem. With the most ardent desire and
the utmost will people have sought to
live in common--marrlage for example
yet failure has attended their efforts.
Yet living together by its very discip-
line has made living together possible.
The fact that the Turk, the Greek, and
the Bulgarian have lived for centuries
with the Turk on top, has made 1t pos
sibie for them to live side by side. The
Turk may not like the change, but ne
can be made to tolerate It. This phe-
nomenon In the development Of politi-
cal Institutions Is common enough.
The several Stages.
Most European nations have gone
through the stages OF feudalism and
military government. Soldiers and
aristocrats are now satisfied to dwell
In the same street as the merchant and
professional man. The objection at
once springs to the mind that these
soldiers and aristocrats are OF the same
race as the merchant and professional
man, and that the argument has no
force IL applied to different races. Be-
fore history began man existed In Eu-
rope and had attained some degree Of
social, Industrial and political develop
ment. II would seem that spread all
over Central Europe. reaching from the
practically from the North Sea to the
Mediterranean, were two races Of men
known to ethnologists as Celts and
Slavs. and to historians under many
other names. These particular races
seem to have formed the matrix Of the
European peoples, the gerrninal SUBJ

and to which they again returned when
their force was spent. While OF re-
markable potency. the breeds lacked
power Of acknowledgment. They re-
quired the contact of a more brutal.
elemental manhood to complete their
fruition. This contact was given In
the Germanic and Aslatic tribes which
have SCARED Europe with warfare.
