ATROCITIES OF THE BULGARS
A Terrible Story OF outrages
Committed Upon Greek and
MussuIman Resi-.
dents,

New York.-King Constance OF
Greece, from his headquarters at Hadji
Eeilik, nea Sores, gave out a detailed
account Of the atrocities of the Bull
garians In Macedonia. He declares
that only the precipitate fight of the
inhabitants Of the villages and towns
prevented a still greater slaughter.
"The first city to be sc%ourged was
Nigriti. A large number Of its people
who had remained at their homes after
the events occurring in the P~anghoon
district we're massacred by the re.
treating enemy, who did not fail to
light the path of their flight by the
flames Of the city to which they had
applied the torch.
The correspondents OF lie Temps
and The Daily Telegraph who visited
the locality the day after the mas.
sacres merely confirmed in greater de-
tail the dispatches of the command.
ers of our troops.
THE precipitate flight OF the peas
ants in the surrounding villages is the
only reason why We have not a greater
number of victims to deplore. On our
left wing 700 Mussulmans OF the en-
yironments Of Kilkish, a nest Of Bull
garian Comitadis irregular troops)
shared the same fate. Two OF our Off.
GERS, who in a bayonet assault had
been left lying wounded on the field
a few steps from the enemy's trenches
were found, when the attack was re-
newed, to have had their eyes gouged
out.
At Doiron. before their fight the
enemy dragged the metropolitan and
30 OF the leading citizens from their
homes. They have never been seen
again.
THE religious leader OF the Mussul-
mans. with tears in his eyes. told us Of
the spoliatlons and pillage of the Bull
garian officers and soldiers.
AT Strumitza, fortunately, the
enemy had time to kill only two Of the
persons imprisoned. But all these
things are as nothing compared with
what happened at Dimirhissar. Sores
and DoXato, where everything was
sacked by fire and sword.
THE city OF Sores is nothing more
than a mass Of smoking ruins, hlled
with mutllated corpses of old men and
women and children.
THE consuls general OF Italy and
Austria at Salonika, who visited Sores
for the purpose OF establishing to what
extent their nations had suffered, have
told us that the accounts published in
the newspapers gave but a faint idea
OF the terrible reality.
AT Dimirhissar the exhumation OF
the mutilated bodies of the Metro
politan and the leading citizens have
convinced us that our enemy Is not
satisfied to pillage, burn, despoil and
murder. but he rejoices in torturing
his victims.
"Doxato is no longer anything but a
pool OF blood. OF its $500 inhabitants
only $50 remain. A great number of
the little villages along the route taken
by the fleeing army were the scenes
OF like atrocities"

BANKING BY MAIL.
An Innovation In the Government
Postal Savings System.

Observation-Disclosures by mail" is
the latest innovation entered into by
the government in connection with the
postal savings system. Hereafter de-

drawals likewise effected through the
same agency. When the postal saw
ings system was first put in operation
postmasters were forbidden TO permit
deposits by such persons as were not
patrons of the p%ostoiiice in which they
sought to bank. This was found to
work a real hardship on a certain class
of would-be depositors and Postmaster
General Burleson accordingly abro-
gated the rule. Postmasters through

Surgestions About Hog Cholera.

DR.. George White, State Live
Stock Inspector of Tennessee, sug-
gests the following precautions to
reduce the loss from hog cholera:
Il. Since the 'buzzard' is great
dissemination of hog cholera, all ami
mails which die from any cause on
a farm should be promptly buried
or burned, thereby preventing soil
contamination from this source. Ii
a horse, COW or sheep dies from
pneumonia or any other disease and
is simply dragged or hauled into a
pasture, numerous buzzards i'm
mediately flock there to devour the
carcass. The chances are that the
last carcass devoured by these buzz
yards was a hog which died from
cholera, perhaps 20 or even 30 miles
away.
%. Keep the hogs off public
roads, as they are liable to be con-
taminated with hog cholera intec-
ton, by diseased hogs passing and
repassing over them.
-. Keep hogs off running
streams as the infection is readily
carried down stream from hogs dy-
ing above.
IA. If your neighbours hogs are
dying do not visit his premiums, as
you are liable to carry the infection
back home on your feet and infect
your own hogs with the disease.
IS. Immediately upon the out
break of hog cholera in neighbor-
hood the hog owners should order a
supply Of aati-hog cholera serum
from your state Department OF
Agriculture now engaged in the
manufacture Of serum. Upon ar
rival OF the serum secure the SER
vices of the local veterinarian to.
make the injections. Do not de-
pend upon this being done free by
the state at this time, as there is no
provision for it. ''-Ex.
