MAY BAR CIGARETTES
IN GREENWOOD.

Greenwood, Oct. 8.-Will cigarettes
be put under the ban absolutely in
Greenwood,
If a petition which has been in
circulation since Saturday is acted
upon favorably by city council this
question will be answered in the af-
firmative. Since the publication of
councils decision to pass as city
ordinance the state law making it a
misdemeanor to sell cigarettes or ci-
garette material to minors, a move
ment has been started to put an end
once and for all to the sale of this
form of tobacco to anybody, boys and
men alike.
This petition goes a little further
than the state law and asks the coun-
Gil to pass law prohibiting the sale
or the giving away of cigarettes or
cigarette material in the city of
Greenwood. A large number of the
leading citizens of the town have
signed the petition, and number of
merchants, who keep cigarettes for
sale, have also signified their ap-
proval of the movement by indorsing
it.
The opinion has been expressed by
some that such a law would be un-
constitutional, hut it is pointed out
by the anti-cigarette. people that 9TH
er towns and cities now have such
an ordinance on their books and it is
being enforced without any trouble
Honea Path is said to be one of the
places where it is against the law to
purchase or give away cigarette.
The petition now in circulation
here will doubtless contain several
hundred names when it is presented
to the city council at the November
November meeting.

GREAT BATTLE OF BALKAN
 WAR NOW IN PROGRESS,
Last Chance for Turkey to Retrieve Almost Hopeless Campaign.

London, Oct. 29.-The long awaited battle which will decide the fate of Turkey is now being fought. The army under Maxim Pasha, minister of war and commander in chief, is en- gagged, and according to Constantinople official despatches, the operations are favorable to the Ottomans. The\ des- patches, however, do not indicate where the chief action is taking place CT how the opposing forces compare.
 It is Turkeys last chance to re- trieve an almost hopeless campaign. Maxim Pasha is fighting with his back been cut, and it is impossible for him to get fresh supplies or reinforce ments. In Constantinople the feeling of confidence is reviviDg. It is be- lieved that the war minister has at last assumed the offensive. But this is by no means certain, as the battle may have been forced upon him. Sofia despatches indicate the continued for ward movement of the Bulgarians, but give no details. There is still no con- firmation of the reported capture of Lule Burgas, Demolica and Drama.
 The Bulgarians are still fighting ill the direction of Visa in pursuance of their plan to advance to the extreme
  The Greeks also are marching, with victories to their credit, toward Salon. iki, where feeling of extreme anxiet, :, is said to prevail and provisions are running short. The fact that no ap- parent effort is being made to stem the Greek advance to SaloniH is held to indicate that the bulk of Turkey army there has been transferred to 1 Thrace.
 No recent information has been re- | ceived of the operations around Scu- l tari or other points to the west and Sofia today observed a significant si I lence.
 Diplomatic activities continue ir l London. The prime minister, MT. As quith, had an audience with the kin2 today. No formal action has beer taken, or is likely to be taken until tht result Of the great battle is known.

WOMAN HAD BULLET
 WOUND IN TEMPLE.
Wife of Mining Engineer Shot Aftsr
 Quarrel With Husband.

San Francisco, Oct 29.-Paying no attention to the report of revolver which came from the room he had just auitted after a quarrel with his wife, W. P. McComas, mining engineer, left the building today and reported the matter to the police. The police found Mrs. McComas huddled behind the door of the apartment with a bull lei wound in her temple. Her condi- ton is critical. Surgeons expressed doubt that the wound could have been self-inficted and an investigation was begun.
 McComas, who is said to have ex- tensive mining interests in sonora Mexico. said he had quarreled with his wife and was seeking another sleep ing place when he left the room. He was held, pending investigation.
 McComas was tried and acquitted in Los Angeles of the murder Of Mrs. Charlotte Moves. who was slain in her apartments Feb. 2S, 1908. four years after he was married to Miss Leona Anderson, q school teacher of Dem ing, N. NJ.
 McComas did not deny he was with Mrs. Moves when she was killed. After the killing McComas rushed out of tho Moves apartment with his face scared with acid and declared that the woman had hurled vitriol upon him.

SPENDS RESTLESS DAY.
Vice President Sherman Drops of to
 Sleep in Chair at 8.3o p. M.

Utica, x. Y., Oct. 29.--After a rest less and unsatisfactory day, Vice Pres ident Sherman dropped off to sleep while sitting in his chair at S.30 o'clock tonight and at Il o'clock was still sleeping. Dr. Peck, who had been with him most of the time for A hours, left for home. expressing confidence that his patient would go through the night without great distress. His kid neys are acting somewhat more free ly.
 At six o'clock tonight Vice Presi- dent Shermans attending physician, Dr. Fayette Peck, issued the following statement relative to the condition of his distinguished patient:
 For the past week or ten days, MT. Sherman's friends and physicians have felt a great deal of solicitude about him and for the past three or four days his uremlc condition has caused a great deal of alarm. After q dis turbing day yesterday he fell into d natural sleep at n o'clock last night, without the aid of sleep producing drugs. and slept until , o'clock this morning, quietly and comfortably

pulse is from 80 to S6; temperature practically normal; respiration from IF to 30."
 During the day there were several emergency calls from the sherman house for the physician. The vice president was not in great pain, but was extremely restless and at times irrational, both of which conditions were caused by the presence of uremic poison, due to the inaction of the kid neys. Dr. Peck makes no effort to minimize the seriousness of the condi- tion, but he is hopeful of being able to stimulate the kidneys, and if he succeeds, expects marked improve ment In no event does he anticipate vital crisis for a day or two.
 There is no effort to conceal the facts concerning the vice presidents case. On the contrary, both Dr. Peck and MT. Sherman's family concede it's critical nature. The doctor says, how ever, that kidney disease is of such an illusiye nature that it is quite i'm possible to foretell the course of any given case with exactness. Mir. Sher- mans robust constitution is in his favor, but the fact that he has lost ground steadily since August weighs against him. Dr. Janeway of New York and pr. Elsner of Syracuse, bott of whom have been called into con- sultation during the past ten days confirm Dr. Peck's diagnosis, leaving no doubt that the kidneys are the seal of the malady and that the heart, the arteries and the muscles about the heart are all seriously involved.
