Set of Harness Returned.

The set of harness which was lost
by the racing squad of the fire de-
partment on their trip to Fayette-
vile Thursday morning turned up in
the city, sent by whom or from where
no one seemed to know. The loss of
the set Of harness came before coun-
Gil several times and this bod de-
cided that the boys must make good
the loss. Afterwards the racing
squad purchased a collar, valued at
more than the entire set OF harness
and the matter was dropped by coun-
Gil. Now the members of the racing
squad can return the harness to the
city and viii have a good extra COL
lai &C their own.

BALKAN TROUBLE NOT GENERAL
ACTUAL FIGHTING CONFINED TO
MONTENEGRIN FRONTIER.
Bulgaria and Servia Seem Curiously
lndispOsed to Take Final Step.

London Oct. 16.-The Balkan fight
ing remains limited to the Monte
negrin border and although the rela-
tions Of Turkey and the other allied
states are virtually broken, there is q
curious indisposition on the part Of
Bulgaria and Servia to take a final
place in the hostilities. This hesita
ton is regarded in diplomatic circles
as good omen. pointing to the possi
bility that the powers 90
able to prevent it, m Lid.
1t is understood that most of the
powers have accepted in principle the
suggestion of the French premier for
European conference but nothing
has been decided as to when the con-
ference will meet or what it's pro-
gramme will be.
The fact that Italy is now free to
enter the conference will greatly
strengthen the European concert and
is calculated to make the Balkan
States more amenable to European
pressure.
The future status Of Crete under
the new conditions, which it is re-
ported will be virtual annexation by
Greece, is now engaging the attention
Of the powers.
The rumOrs that Bulgaria has ac-
tually declared war has not been
confirmed.
The Montenegrins after hard fight
ing have captured Berna, but il is
reported that there will be a pause in
the operations around Tushi. I'm
deubtedly this is due to the Montene-
grins realizing that they have paid
too dearly for their successes in heavy
losses of life. King Nicholas accord
ingly has issued a proclamation urg-
ing his soldiers to restrain their i'm
petuosity.
The Montenegrin Princes Danielo
and Peter have been active in the en-
gagement, personally leading their
forces. Prince Peter has been pro-
moted to major for gallantry.

PEOPLES PROBABLY WINNER,
UNOFFICIAL RETURNS GIVE HIM
FAIRLY SAFE LEAD.
With Nearly $4,000 Heard From
Barnwcll Man is 5000 Votes I'm
the Lead.

Columbia, Oct. 17.-On the face of
the unofficial returns from the pri-
mary last Tuesday Thomas II. Peoples
of Blackville is nominated for attor-
ney general OF South Carolina, de-
feating the incumbent. j. Fraser
Lyon. The vote as reported last
night stood: Peoples 23,9S3; Lyon
2O,99O. About 10000 or more votes
remain to be heard from. but the in
dications are that Peoples present
lead will be increased
Complete returns were available
last night from only six counties:
Charleston. Clarendon, Jasper, Ma
rion. Marlboro and Richland. Two
counties. Horny and Saluda, have not
been heard from. In the latter, there
seems to have been considerable con-
fusion over the election. Returns are
especially slow in coming from the
heavy voting counties Of the Pied
mont. With the exception Of Horny
s~'AN NSOitSStcVH thC ICtuIHS IOIn tno
Pee Dee section are practically COM
plete.
The vote in the primary for at
torney general will not be definitely
known until after the State Demo-
cratic executive committee holds it's
meeting In Columbia Friday at noon.
All over the State today the county
Democratic committees will meet to
dclare the returns and report them to
the State committee. The election
machinery has worked very slowly %
far in reporting returns to the county
seats. There are reports from sew
eral counties Of managers neglecting
to come for boxes. and no election be-
ing held at many precincts.
The complete returns from Char
lesion county give Peoples a major
ity OF nearly 1900 over Lyon. Rich
land county went for Peoples by over
500 votes. His majority in Spartan
burg will probably exceed 700 votes.
Lyons lead In .Greenville has been
decreased by the last returns.

Chicago, Oct. 16.-The bullet
wound inflicted in Col. Rosevelt's
chest at Milwaukee Monday night, it
of1cially was announced today for the
first time, is healing normally with
out infection. The statement that no
complications have shown themselves
was made after a day during which
the first successful X-ray picture Of
the wound in the Colonels chest was
examined by the surgeons.
The fact developed that the would
be assassin's bullet fractured the COL
onels fourth rib. The missile remains
imbedded. apparently, in the bone.
The fracture, however. 1t Is stated,
will not affect the treatment In any
way. but will be allowed to heal un-
treated. as will the wound.
A description Of the wound given
tonight by DR.. w. B. McCauley is the
first to be given to the public by the
surgeons. He said that the bullets

The bullet did not mushroom as
might have been expected" said DR..
McCauley. For that reason It cut a
comparatively small hole in the skin
and did not reduce a large portion OF
the nearby tissues to pulp, as is the
case in soft bullet that mushrooms
in animal tissues after it hits a bone.
think the bundle Of papers in Col
Roosevelts pocket checked it and the
spectacle case. for some reason, failed
to spread the bullet much.
THE wound is about big enough ia
put your finger in at the surface and
1t doesn't appear to get very much
bigger. I would call it a very clean
wound. The skin is torn at the sur
face in ragged way. but not badly
and there is little bruising."

watched with the greatest amount of
interest by those present, both old
and young
The parade of the morning came
through the streets shortly before IL
O'Clock and the streets and sidewalks
were crowded with interested spec
tators, many Of whom had come
from the farthest corners of the
county and from other counties to
see the parade and circus. The pa
rade came up Main street, turned UP
Liberty street then came back down
Main street and turned up Bartlette
to Washington and down Liberty to
Harvin and on back down to the
grounds.
Early in the day the people from
the surrounding country commenced
pouring in on every road entering
town and every train which came in
during the morning brought full car
loads Of persons living near the sta
tions along the lines. AS this is the
first circus in couple of years, no
doubt this was the occasion for a
larger attendance than it would have
received had there been a circus here
last year.
The circus grounds were crowded
early and big crowd was gathered
around the tents all day watching
everything to be seen, anxious that
nothing should escape their sight
which was worth seeing. The doors
Of the big circus tent opened at
o'clock and crowds poured in until
long after time for the circus to COM
mence. The doors were opened early
SO that visitors might get an oppor-
tunity OF seeing the animals and
might enjoy the band concert which
was given preparatory to the COM
mencement OF the circus perform
ance. This event was watched with
the greatest interest, many Of the 200
odd features holding the crowd SPELL

Tonight the doors will be opened
again for the second performance
of the day, which will commence at
o'clock, the doors being opened. one
hour earlier. The circus performance
this afternoon was in every way clean
and was one we'll worth seeing and

One OF the features Of the menag-

hibition here for the first time and
Will no doubt attract a great deal of
attention. 1t is an addition to the
menagerie OF which the management
is extremely proud and every effort is
being made to make the cub into a
bouncing baby of it's kind.

third and dashed for home when the
ball dropped into Devore's hands.

caught it Devore whipped the ball
