TO
NAME EPOSTMAS7ERS

Washington, Nov. 11.-From an un-
deniably reliable source it is learned
here today that President-elect WI
son has decided that, upon his entry
into the White House, March 4, the
appointment of all postmasters, with
the exception of those under civil ser
vice rules, shall be left to the men,
bers of the house exclusively.
In the selection of such officials the
wishes of the respective house MEM
bers will be rigidly regarded.
Further than this 1t could not be
ascertained from this authority what
the president-elect will do toward fill
ing other positions such as collector
Of the port, district attorney, mar
shal, etc., but it is understood, how
ever, that these appointments will
be left to the recommendation of the
senator's, although on this latter point
no direct information could be Sc
cured. -.
This action would place the appoint
ment of all postmasters not under
civil service at the disposition OF the
house members and leave the larger
places to be filled as the various
Democratic senator's might suggest.
That such a plan will be decided
upon there is no doubt, this informa-
tion coming from we'll known sena-
tor who is on the inside in such mat
ters and who has his ear close to the
ground regarding future presidential
appointments. Besides it Is the Gus
tom followed in former Democratic
administrations. ..

SHE PREDICTED WILSON
WOULD BE PRESIDENT

Joliet, ILL.,, November John c.
Baker, OF Manhattan, was the happlest
man in Will county over the election
of Woodrow Wilson to the presidency
because it fulfilled prediction made
by his sister, Mrs. Mary Russel, more
than forty years ago.
Mrs. Russell was Mr.. wilson 8
teacher, when he was 10 years Old, IN
Tileston school, Wilmington, N. c.
and at that time predicted that the
boy some day would be president.
She did not live to see her prophecy
fulfilled. She died three years ago at
Leesville, N. c., at the age OF "a.
AS a token of his esteem Wilson pre-
sented his teacher with a little fret-
wood picture frame, which is now IN
the Baker home. Mrs. Russell watched
Mr.. Wilson grow to fame, and with
each advance changed the picture IN
the frame. When she gave the frame
to her brother she remarked: you
will want to keep this, for when ne
gets to be president you will be very
proud of it."
Baker said that Wilson's father, Rev.
Joseph Wilson, visited him at Manhat-
tan at the time his son published MS
first book and said.
"Well, I don't see where Wooa-
row gets his smartness."

EUROPE MAY SOON Be AFLAME
WITH WAR OVER TURKISH SITUATION

London, Nov. 11.-Europe is facing
one of the most critical weeks in it's
history. 1t may end in war, id
which the whole of Europe will be
involved, or it may be remembered as
week in which diplomacy succeeded
in solving problems that appeared
insoluble to many. Z.
The Bulgarian army Is on the point
of entering Constantinople. This will
be resented by Russia. At the same
time the Turish capital is threatened
with massacre from within.
!, On the other side Of the Balkan
peninsula there is an acute conflict
between the aims of Austria-Hun-
gary and Servia, which If it is not
arranged, might start general Euro
pean war. ''-"...r
The most hopeful sign is the fact
that moderating influences are being
brought to bear by Germany, close
ally Of Austria-Hungary and by Bull
garia, Servia's comrade in arms.
Austria's View. r..
The views Of Austria-Hungary con-
cerning European Turkeys future are
pretty well known to include access
to the earnest markets, the integrity
of Albania, including the Adriatic
coast of that country and compensa-
tion for Rumania which has always
claimed that when Bulgarian terri
tory is extended her borders should
likewise spread.

COTTON MARKET
HERE STILL HIGH
Abbeville Continues to Pay
More Than Other Towns.
POLICY OF LOCAL COTTON MILL.
As 8 Result of Better Prices
Considerable Cotton Offered
During Past Week.

The cotton market is still holding
the good level towards which it has
gradually been working. Further ad-
yances have been noted in the local
market the past week and a few bales
have been sold here for as much as
13 cents.
The cotton market in Abbeville has
not only been above that of towns in
this section of the State, but the pri-
ces paid here have been higher than
the quotations in many of the leading
cities. AS a result of the good prices
paid for the staple, much cotton has
been attracted here that would, in
other circumstances, have been placed
on the market in other towns.
One gentleman who sold his cotton
here said that he had demonstrated
to his own satisfaction that he could,
in addition to receiving a higher price
for his cotton, also purchase goods
cheaper than in hi local market,
which made a double inducement to
patronize Abbeville.
Messrs. R. E. Cox and w. D. Barks-
dale have been bulling the local mar
ket considerably. This they found a
somewhat easy task in the face of a
steadily raising market. But aside
from the activities Of these gentle
men, it is the settled policy of the To-
cal mills, which buys the greater
part of the cotton sold here, to pay
the very top of the market-in fact,
the mill wishes to keep the market
here at a higher level than compel
ing points, to the end that they may
be able to secure as much of their
stock as possible from Abbeville coun-
ty. The mill. consumes from 10000 to
$4,000 bales of cotton yearly.
The past week has seen the market
ing of considerable cotton, though
many are still holding for a further
rise.
The market here yesterday was
quoted at IL 7-S cents, slight drop
in response to the action Of the New
York market.
