Berlin, Oct. 29.-The Frankforter

THE time for Intervention by the
powers is near. whether requested or
not. IL Turkey is defeated in the i'm

ing is now rapidly coming TO the
scrapping" stage in not a few Sec
tions of the belt.
Thursday will end the present Pc
riod in the schedule of ginning re-
ports by the census bureau but the
trade is not taking its usual interest
in ginners' returns, although, before
long, they ought to furnish a more or
less reliable index to what may be
expected as the total yield.
AT the week end private buyers
may come out with estimates of what
has been ginned this period but they
will have to be rather sensational to
cause the market 10 take much no

Should important developments take
place in the European political situa-
.tion the market might be affected to
some extent as it has Of late gone 10
watching the stock market rather
closely, but the consensus Of opinion
is that the Balkan troubles can hardly
have any severe effect on prices or
cause any permanent changes.

ROBERT LAWSON STAYS FATHER
Young Laurcns County Man Uses
Pistol in Clinton

Clinton, Oct. 2S.-About 2 o'clock
this afternoon on Broad street Rob-
ert Lawson shot and killed his father,
Frank Lawson. The dead man has
lived near here all his life until a year
or so ago, when he moved to Lam
ford. His son lived on land rented
from his father and the killing was
brought on by a dispute as to rent.
The son brought bale Of cotton to
Clinton from his farm near town to
use towards paying off a mortgage he
owed the First National Bank. The
father claimed the cotton was due to
him for rent and threatened to shoot
the son if he carried it to the bank.
The son did this and was talking to
the cashier, b. II. Boyd, when his
father Joined him and renewed the
dispute.
Mr.. Boyd saw that quarrel was on
and went into the bank. Almost be-
fore he was out Of sight two shots

kIAMIL PASHA IN CHARGE.
President Of Turkish Council of State
Becomes Grand Vizier.

Constantinople, Oct. 29.-Kiamil
Pasha, president of the council Of
state, assumed the Office Of grand
vizier this afternoon in succession to
Ghasi Moukhtar Pasha, who resigned.
An imperial decree commands the
new grand vizier to prosecute the war
with all energy.
Although all the changes in the
cabinet have not yet beer made, it
Is announced that Nazim Pasha will
be retained as minister of war and
Nora dungshian Pasha as minister of
foreign affairs. Jemalledin Pasha also
will be retained as shiek- -ul- islam.
The change in the grand vizierate
is not expected materially to influence
either the internal or external situa-
ton. When Kiamil Pasha three
months ago accepted the presidency
Of the council he became the domi-
nant figure OF the cabinet and 1t was
foreseen that he would succeed to the
grand vizierate.
The motives for the resignation of
Muokhtar Pasha are not known.
The retention Of Noradungshian
Pasha as foreign minister shows that
no startling innovations In the foreign
policy are likely.

Table and Change Coal Chute to
New Yard

Mr.. r.. j. Schnablit, who has Sc
cured the contract work on the At

the city to commence work at once.
This morning he was engaged in hav-
ing material for installing a new
turn table and changing the coal
chute from its present location to
the northern extremity Of the new
yard near the Rowland Buggy Com
pany.
These changes have been contem-
plted for some time, in fact ever since
the work on the new yard was COM
menced, and it was expected to make
the changes as soon as the new ward
was completed. The work was de-
layed, however but will be commence
ed this week. A new turn table will
be put in the yard, where the present
one is located being thus left open
for side tracks and the coal chute
will be placed where it will be more
readily accessible to engines COM
Ing and leaving the city, and so that
the present site will also be left free
for tracks.
Workmen are also engaged in maxi
Ing changes In the tracks in the yard
at point between the freight depot
and the Southern Cotton Oil Mill.
Here several new tracks have been
Installed and new wood work has
been put under the old tracks and
they have been readjusted and rebai-
lasted. The chief changes have been
made at the Manning Avenue and
Sumter street crossings and between
these two crossings. A full force
Of hands is now at work continuing
the changes which were commenced
several months ago and making ad-
ditional changes. When the present
work is completed the freight yard
will be left in excellent condition at
all points.

TURKS TAKE LAST STAND.
CRITICAL BATTLE OF CAMPAIGN
RAGING IN BALKNS.
Their Forces Under Nanim Pasha Are
Fighting With Their Racks To the

London. oct. 2s.--The fate OF Tur-
Key is In the balance tonight. Re-
ports indicate that the critical bat
tie of the Turkish Balkan war is
being fought In some place along the
line from Tchorlu to Lule Burgas in
the eastern area below Adrianople.
The Turkish army under Nazim Pasha,

Dispatches rom Constantinople, Of

able to the Turks. However, there
has been no confirmation of these dis
patches from other sources.

ieve an almost hopeless campaign.
Maxim Pasha Is lighting with his back
To the wall: his communications have
been cut and II Is impossible for him
to get fresh supplies or reinforce
ments.
In Constantinople the feeling of
confidence is reviving. Ii is believed
that the war minister has at last as
sumed the offensive. But this Is by
no means certain. as the battle may
have been forced upon him.
Sofia dispatches indicate a con-
tinued forward movement Of the Bull
garians but give no details. There
Is still no confirmation OF the report
ed capture OF Lule Burgas Demotica

east of the direction of CONSTANT

The Greeks also are marching. with
victories to their credit. towards Sal
oniki. where a feeling o. extreme
anxiety Is said to prevail anu pro-
visions are running short. The fact
that no apparent effort Is being made
to stem the Greek advance to Saloniki
is held to indicate that the bulk Of
Turkeys army there has been trans
ferred to Thrace.
No recent information has been re-
ceived from the operations around
scutari or other points to the west.

YOUR GRAY HAIRS
QUICKLY VANISH
A HARMLESS REMEDY, MADE
FROM GARDEN SAGE, RE
STORES COLOR TO GRAY HAIR.

\ feeling Of sadness accompanies
the discovery OF the first gray hairs
which unfortunately are looked upon
hair however handsome it may be,
makes a person look old We all
know the advantages o. being young.
Aside from the good impression Il
youthful appearance makes on 9th
ers, simply knowing that YOU are
looking fit" gives one courage to
undertake and accomplish things. SO
why suffer the handicap of looking
old on account of gray hairs, when
a simple remedy will give your hair
youthful and color and beauty in a
few days' time?
Most people know that common
garden sage acts as a color restorer
and scalp tonic as well. Our grand
mothers used Sage Tea" for keep
ing their hair dark, soft and luXu-
riant. In Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Hair Remedy We have an ideal
preparation of Sage, combined with
Sulphur and other valuable remedies
for dandruff, itching scalp and thin,
weak hair that is split at the ends
or constantly coming out. A few ap-
plicatiOns of this valuable rem ady
will bring back the color, and in
short time it will remove every trace
of dandruff and greatly improve the
growth and appearance of tie hair.
Get fifty cent bottle from your
druggist today, and notice the differ
ence in your hair after a few days
treatmest. All druggists sell it, un-
der guarantee that the money will
be refunded if the remedy is not
exactly as represented. Special agent, |
