LILY WHITES POSTPONE MEET


Nun,m' ftus Il thnt "T. r." Already
}lHs Delegates.
Columbia, May The State Con-
Fnntvn Of the 50-oalled Lilly White"
Nin& o. lie Republican party in
south CAIU!IA.., scheduled for to-day,
has been postponed, according to the
announcement Of l.. w. G.. Blalock
State chairman Of the Lilly White
faction. The leaders Of this wing
of the party would go no further
han announcing the postponement,
cefusing to give any reason for the
anne. 1t was stated that the meet
ing would be held later in the
month.
The change in plans has caused
considerable speculation, one pub
lished rumor having 1t that the D ost-
ponement meant that the Roosevelt
forces had a considerable grip on
some Of the South Carolina dele
gates. The postponement, the re-
port, said might be taken to Indicate
that the Roosevelt forces saw no
need OF holding convention.
The rumor about the detection OF
delegates instructed for Taft has
been going the rounds for some
time, being largely based on a state
ment given out at the Roosevelt
headquarters in Washington that
certain OF the South Carolina dele
gates had decided not to abide by
instructions, but to go to Roosevelt
This WAS Subsequently; denied from
sources favorable to President Taft
notably by j. w. Tolbert, State
chairman Of thu SO-called "Black and
Fans" which faction also claims to
be regular.
It is very difficult to determine
whether there Is any truth in the ru-
NOR OF detection OF the IS delegates
already elected; IA are instructed
for Taft and two are uninStructed.

 Durazzo. the Albanian port which Is Tor the time being the most discussed place in Europe. is by no means an uninter- esting town, even apart from the inn mense political importance that it has suddenly and unexpectedly acquired
 There are sentimental well as prac- tical reasons for Servia's desire to own Durazzo, for it was at one time Servian territory. The Servians annexed it in the year 1886. and held it for half cen tury. At one time it was a prosperous city. Now it's walls are crumbling, its buildlngs-among them some of much an- tiquarian interest-decayed, and its mar row streets dirty and uncared for. But possibilities of great things remain
 Durazgo was often scene of strife, and t was here that, in 4S B. C., Pompey made his last successful resistance, to Caesar At the end of the fourth century Durazzo became the capital of the By zantine province of New Epirus. but it passed through many vicissitudes and after being held by Bulgarians.

Court, government agitators. police spies, and press are all making attacks on Witte They folled even his plan to return 10 Russia for the Borodino centenary celebrations. Witte had al- ready taken rooms in a Moscow hotel for himself and his married step daughter, Madame Narishldn. As he is still member of the council of the em- pire (the last of his honors) he had a right to come to the celebrations The whole council was Invited. Tn his enemies foiled.
 Nationalists and other reactionaries began to prepare the ground at Mos COW and Borodino. They circulated in- flammatory leaflets with the conniv- ance of the authorities. One bore a picture of Witte surrounded by Jews and drinking with them to the down fall of holy Russia. It bore on top the title "Wittezhid" which means "Witte the Jew" Beneath it was the statement that in 1904 Witte had taken shares in Japanese loan while Rus. sia and Japan were at war. A fur ther statement was that Witte had re- stored the Finnish constitution in 1905 Ion payment from Count Mechelin." Mechelin is one of the Finnish patriot leaders. The gem, however. was a long account of alleged Witte- Roosevelt conversations held during the Ports mouth peace conference. Witte showed Roosevelt a telegram from the Czar forbidding him 10 make peace. Tho next day he signed peace, and through Roosevelt he had the hour of receipt of the telegram altered so that he could make out 1t had come too late. Another leaflet read. Let true Rus sians who see Jew. Witte at Borodino remember that 100 years ago no one sold the fatherland."
 This agitation came to Wittes ears, and he decided to stay at Biarritz The Kharl<ov 'Viedomsti" published a story to the effect that Witte had learned of a plan to assassinate him.
