says:
Yesterday we wrote that the war
had ended. To-day we might add we
are on the eve Of peace, the Turks
having addressed themselves TO the
Balkan League.

lasting peace. The war has cleared

The Mir" states that the Bulgarians
occupied the town OF Eavaia, on the

Of Salonica. after they captured Sores.
The newspaper Bulgaria" to-day re-

important. The report. however, is still
without official confirmation.

CHOLERA CASES 500 DAILY
Bodies of 263 Victims Dragged
with Hooks to Trench.

Constantinople (via Kustendje). Nov.
1.-THE cholera epidemic among the
Turkish troops holding the line OF forth
fications at Tchataldja, in front of Con-
stantinople. is rapidly becoming worse.
More than five hundred cases are re-
ported daily and the total number already
exceeds six thousand.
Whatever hopes the Turks may have
lad of maintaining the line OF detences at
Tchataldja have been disslpated by this
outbreak OF cholera. An eyewitness de-
clares that he saw 263 bodies buried in
enc big trench at Hademkeui the head
quarters Of the Turkish commander-in
chef, on Tuesday. The bodies were
dragged 10 the spot on hooks and dropped
into the trench, which was not nearly
deep enough for the purpose, the covering
OF earth being very shallow.
While cholera is undermining the Turk
ish defences, IL also at the same time
constitutes a most formidable opponent
TO the Bulgarian advance and II Is gen.
orally believed here that the outbreak
has disposed Of the question OF even a
temporary occupation of Constantinople
by the Bulgarian troops. IL is thought
unlikely that King Ferdinand will risk
the lives OF his soldiers in this way II
he can avoid II.
II Is stated on good authority that
cholera has already appeared among the
Bulgarian troops. This would not be at
all surprising. seeing that they occupy
the positions where the disease claimed
it's first Turkish victims.
The apathy and sullen resignation with
which the Turks face the series of over
whelming disasters deserves comment.
II is true the severe application OF mar
t!al law prevents the public expression
OF any criticism or demonstration OF re-
sentiment. The great mass OF Moslems,
however, Is inclined TO bow TO the in
evitable and to accept without violent
opposition what they regard as the die
tates OF fate

McAULAY-PIOUS CHURCH
BERS BLAME, SAID

81 was standing at a soda foun-
tain when a little girl, not as tall as
the counter, came up to me and ask
ed if wouldn't put her nickel in
the slot. l, out of curiosity, did so,
and she won three drinks. She then
cordially offered to set me up
"Some good pious church members
teach their children to play cards
very early in life, and then, after
they learn to use a gamblers tool,
we are Mortified, surprised, to discov-
er that they have become gamb-
lers." He was particularly harsh in
the terms in which he denounced card
playing. He said the only surprising
thing about it was that there were
not more gamblers.
The next question, he said, was
one hard for him to discuss. He ad-
vised his congregation to read the
seventh chapter of Proverbs. He
lacked words to talk of this matter
and stated that when a young man
went on Spartanburg's streets at
night he was in "the very fumes of
hell"
Mr.. McAulay took his text from
the 18th chapter of Acts, the 10th
and 18th verses:
"Now, while Paul waited for them
at Athens, his spirit was stirred in
him, when he saw the city wholly
given to idolatry.
Therefore, disputed he in the
synagogue with the Jews and with
the devout persons and in the r1ar-
ket with them that met with him"
He closed with a plea for united
and concerted action in abolishing
the evils that lie within the city and
called upon all church members to
array themselves in the line of battle
to wage the crusade.
He said that when the ministers
were called upon to select a commit
tee of five from their congregations
to appear before the city council to
ask for more rigid enforcement of
the laws that some of the ministers
were at loss as to which members
of the congregation to appoint, as
the pastor did not know which side
of the fence they stood. He said
that he was glad that Spartanburg
had papers unafraid to speak out
against vice and to tell the truth
He said that if the drug stores
were to blame, to put them out; if
the hotels were to blame, to put them
out, or if the drink holes are to
fblame, to put them out.
There were only handful of per-
sons present to hear these revela-
tions made by Mr.. McAulay, but he
dealt with the subject in a broad
minded manner and spoke out
against vice. 1t is to be regretted
that there were not ten times as
many persons in the congregations
