BATTLE WITH CONVICTS.
Arthur Hopper, of Gaffney, Shot by
Fugitive-Attempted to Capture
Four.

Gaffney. Oct. 12.-Arthur Hopper, a
member of sheriff's posse, attempting
single handed to capture four escap-
ed convicts from Spartanburg on a
Cherokee county road, was shot and
perhaps seriously wounded at mid
night by one of the escaped convicts.
Following the wounding Of Hopper
one of the convicts was shot ana
slightly wounded by Thomas H. Lock
hart, chief of police of Gaffney, and
subsequently captured After receiv-
ing a nasty wound Hopper continued
his advance on the desperalces and
succeeded in capturing one of the
number.
The remaining two escaped from
the posse and large body of Ehe1e-
kee county citizens, hastily arming
themselves with snotguas and lit1es
secured from hardware stores opened
for the purpose. aie carrying tn 3
systematic search of the county fer
the other two.
Just how serious is Hopper's wound
can not be at once determined. Dr.
J. G. Pittman, the attending physi-
clan, thinks he has chance to re-
cover. He came near bleeding ~
death before the physician could be
reached. The shot took effect in the
groin.

MATTER OF few DAYS
COALITION REJECTS PROPOSED
INTERVENTION BY EUROPE.
Understood Porte VIII be Given Until
Tomorrow to Reply-NOte Shows
Their Failure.

London, Oct. 13.-General war in
the Balkans is now only matter of a.
few days. The replies of the Balkan
states to- the powers note, virtually
rejecting intervention, will be deliver
| ed at the various capitals tomorrow
and at the same time notes practical
fy in the shape of an ultimatum will
be sent to Turkey demanding auton-
omy for the Macedonian povinces. :.
According to reliable dispatch
from Rome and Balkan coalition will
make a demand which it will be i'm
possible for the port to accept, name
ly, that the reforms be executed un-
der control of European powers and
the Balkan states and as pledge that
the port assent to the immediate de-
mobilization of the Turkish forces.
It is understood that the port will
be given until Tuesday to reply, there
, fore, there is every probability that
general hostilities will be opened be-
fore the week is ended.
A Sofia dispatch reports that the

In ar article on the great men born
near Washington, Ca, published IN
MONDAYS Anderson Daily Mail under
WASHINGTON date line the statement
is made that Napoleon the Great said
that William H. Crawford was the on
n man he ever felt like taking off his
hat to. Mr.. Crawford as all good
American citizens know was a great
statesman of the Republic about one
hundred years ago and would have
been president, but for an untlmely
stroke of paralysis At first The index
was disposed to question even tie pos
sibility of such remark, not recalling
that Napoleon ever had chance to
see Mr.. Crawford, but Investigation re-
veals the fact that Mr.. Crawford was
the American minister to France from
1913 to 1915 and that therefore there
was an opportunity for the remark.
In none of the Napolecnic literature
at hand, however, is there any refer
ence to it. It may be true. Mr.. CraW-
ford was certainly great man.
The statement calls to mind what

A Willy Snake.

In some way one clever, if not alb
solutely good, snake story has been
passed upon these centuries and left
for white-haiTe darkey deacon OF
Drummer to bring to the colored ma
tional Baptist convention in Houston
last week as his offering at the "foh
de meetir 2" experience class, says the
Houston Post.
1t happened "foh de wah,' according
to his account, when he was enumer-
ated in the stock inventory on a large
plantation near Houston. His duties
were to accompany and take cars OF a
boy about his own age, a sen OF his
'"ol marstah.'
"Yeh! Lawd," he exclaimed between
his sputtering, toothless gums, "my
marstah sho was smart chill. We
used to go fshin' an All used to help

Boston Victorious in Fifth.
Boston, Oct. 12.-Overcoming the
New York Nationals today by score
of 2 to /, Boston, pennant winner OF
the American league, needs but a
single victory to attain the worlds
baseball championship of 1912. The
worlds series now stands: Boston 8
games won; New York l; one tie.
More than $4,000 people, a record
breaking baseball crowd for Boston,
saw a pitching duel In which Hugh
Bedient, youngster, sparkled as a
new star in the baseball armament.
Three hits constituted the Giants por-
ton from Bedient's effective service.
But for an error by Gardner, the
young hurler would have turned back
the New Workers to defeat in nine
scoreless innings. Only a shade less
brilliant than the box work Of Bedlent
was the skill of the old master, Christy
Mathewson, who, except for two long
distance drives in the third inning,
held the Red Sox helpless by the magic
of his curves.

Nelson Page in his Robert E. Lee, the

Field Marshall Viscount Lord VOL

first meeting with Lee in the summer
OF 1852, says: Every incident in that
visit is indelibly stamped On my men,

ing subsequent conversation is still
fresh in my recollection. 1t is natural
it should be so: for he was the ablest

I have had the privilege of meeting
Won Moltke and Prince Bismarck.
General Lee was one Of the few men
who ever seriously impressed and aW-

Forty years have come and gone since
our meeting and yet the majesty OF ms
manly bearing, the genial winning
grace, the sweetness of his smile, and
the impressive dignity of his old-fash-

viously leave to him the responsible
ity Of these figures, which l have not
checked. Al though it may be exag-
gerated, this example fairly demon
strates the potentialities of compound
interest over long periods.
The essence of insurance is fore
sight the adequate provision for con-
tingencies and even possible disaster.
That is why the companies usually
charge in the premiums collected, an
extra amount to meet any unexpected
call on the funds, also for any slight
miscalculation in their estimates. The
interest earned may be less than an
ticipated; more people may die during
the year than the average Indicated;
expenses may be higher. To meet these
possible circumstances, the policy IS
LOADED" with an extra amount. More
frequently than not it is found that
precautions were unnecessary, but this
merely means that the money is avail
able for increasing the bonds, reducing
the premiums, and for Strengthening
the service.
While the management expense OF
each company must obviously vary ac-
cording to the class and magnitude Of
the business transacted and also the
financial and administration ability OF
the directors and officers, it remains
true that the sources of profit are prac-
tically the same, the amount OF inter-
Test earned On the accumulated funds
available for investment, by the work
ing expenses being below, what have
been estimated and provided for; by
the death rate being below the calcu-
lated per centage; by the lapsing and
surrender of a certain proportion OF
the contracts.
AS regards the policies lapsing, this
occurs when the policy holders cir
cumstances compel them to cease pay
ing premiums, taking the actual sur
render value of the policy as security
Many people suppose that the compa-
! MES interest is to see polices lapse
They dc, of course, make protlt ou'
of the lapses, but that is not always
very substantial, certainly not when
the 1apse occurs within two or three
wears of the issuance OF the pollcy
for the expense of securing the busl-
ness, commission, etc., does not leave
much margin.
When the premiums have been pald
for a considerable time policy neeo
not be allowed to lapse, for its noldef
can claim surrender value, which
varies from a third to half of the total
premiums paid. Of course, the terms
| offered by the various companies dH-
fer materially, but where man has
paid say, fifteen premiums of s75
each he may depend upon receiving
back from the SLIPS paid in, from S379
to $3.50 in cash. Or he can accept a
smaller amount, so that he will still
secure proportionate benefit without
any further payment of premiums. One
of the most valuable features OF in
surance is that the companies are US
| ually able and willing to adapt their
policies to the actual needs OF lnsur-
ants and on strictly equitable terms

WAR CLOUD SETTLES
DARKLY OVER EUROPE
Concert of Nations Unable to Do More
Than Offer DiscussiOn-Turkey
and Greece Prepare.

London, Oct. '12.-The war cloud has
settled over Europe heavily and
gloomily. No rays of peace strike
through from any quarter. Monte
negro continues to assail the Turkish
forces, but the cracklings along that
border are as mere firecrackers as COM
pared with the general explosion
which is confidently expected within
another week. The historic concert
of Europe" in the supreme, test has
failed to suppress the Balkan clash,
which it averted time after time in the
past quarter of a century. The final
exhibition of the helplessness of the
great powers was given in the collec-
tive note to Turkey published today.
That note, which was the best they
could devise after earnest negotia-
'tions, merely states they will discuss
reforms with the Porte and gives no
promise of any results which might
placate the Slav nations.
The Turkish cabinet has been en-
gagged in framing reply to the note,
but at the same time the sultan fore
shadowed the nature of the reply by
the issuance of a proclamation for
general mobilization which is for
NAL notification of what Turkey has
been doing for the past fortnight and
an exhortation to the army to fight
Worthily.
Greece Also active.
Greece is equally aboveboard with
her preparations. Crown Prince Con-
stantine left Athens today to take
command Of the army.
Vienna advices say Turkey will
mass 100000 men against Bulgaria
and leave only two divisions to op-
pose Montenegro. Turkey apparently
IS willing to sacrifice hsr outpCsts on
the border for the time being.
Later the advices from Podjoritza
say the Montenegrins. have occupied
the town Of Tushi and that many mon
have be;n killed on both sides.
Mobilization of the Greek army has
beer successful beyond expectations
Troops to the number of 125,0O0 will
be concentrated on the frontier by
Monday and another 10000 are being
equipped. The mobilization centres of
the government are overwhelmed with
volunteers, and it has been decided to
enroll no more recruits for the pres

Bulgaria to Answer.
The Bulgarian government has franz
ed a reply to the Russo-Austrian
note, and it is understood will present
it to the representatives of thess
countries tomorrow. IN effect the re-
ply declares representations of the
powers are vague and were made at
too late date.
The military prospects Of the ap-
preaching war re so complicated that
experts are staggered and unable to
make prophecies, while political con-
diticns are still more complicated.

HAVANA CUBA. June 29.-The
most lurid reports regarding condi-

characterized as fiends incarnate while
the government troops have been pic

These impressions have been the
product of tho Cuban government, IN
a large measure, and fail in many re-
spects to delineate the real situation in
the island
The Cuban situation is indeed Sc
rious, but not of so serious a nature
that it will demand immediate inter-

it presents a problem that threatens
the future autonomy Of the republic
This problem is nothing more or less
than the race question. which has been
a source of embarrassment to Cubans
for nearly hundred years
Three Parties Seek Control.
The imbroglio that prevails here is
an evolution of political growth accen-

political parties to gain control and
the insurrection was forced by the

led by President Jose Miguel Gomez
The other parties in the field are the

DEFEAT FOR
Mr.. HALL, Of B|BB
He Fails to Collect an Ancient
Bill for Mr.. Sims. Victim of
SouIIeSS Railroad.

Joe Hill Hall. the gentleman from
Bibb and the bulldog orator of the low
er house, went down in defeat
in his first crossing of oratorical swords
with Hooper Alexander, of DeKalb his
ancient adversary. The speech making
was heated and prolonged. and though
Mr. Hall lost out he sent several of his
antagonists to the tall grass before the
house tired of spellbnding and yelled
for vote.
1t was house resolution No. 81 which
started IT all. That is the ancient claim
of the heirs Of Sherman j. Sims, for an
amount which was once 500 and which
has grown, by interest. to $1.175.4O.
The claim is 20 years old and it has
been before the Legislature for ten
years, always pigeon -holed sidetracked
forgotten or otherwise sent to the dis
card. Mr. Hall tried to revive it to-
day but lost
'Tis an Old, Old Story.
Away back in the dark ages the
commonwealth of Georgia built a rail-
road, known as the Northeastern. 1t

man Sims farm, and it took it. prom
ising Sims, his family. his heirs and
assigns. free pass over said road
as often as the trains ran.
The Sims family rode until the state
grew tired OF railroading and sold its
road to the Southern. That soulless
corporation declined to honor the pass
of the Sims family. which had grown
considerably in the meantime. And
ever since then the Sims family has
been trying to make the state pay what
they consideged the value of said free
transportation.
Adjectives A-Plenty.
According to Mr Alexander it was
a question whether the state would or
would not su:'nfc to the perpetrat ton
of pernicious graft. with other ad
jectives attached According to Mr..
Hall. the state had pledged its sacred
word. the courts had rendered a judg
ment in favor of Sherman Sims his
heirs, and the house of representatives
was in duty bound to vote the appro.
priation or hang its head in disgrace
forever He had considerable support,
too. Mr.. kimbrough, Of Harris. and
others adding their voices to the vol
ume of oratory. Mr. Alexander came
back several times.
At last the house grew tired and de-
manded that the committee of the
whole rise and report that the resolu
ton do not pass. 1t carried by a sub
stantial majority and the Sims claim
was buried once more.
