the Black sea coast, a short distance
frem Censtantinople. These reports
are still without confirmation. \
vague dispatch is published at Sofa
stating that six forts along the TciIa-
t2lja line have been captured, after
what are described as heavy sacgf-
fees on the part of the Bulgarians.
All the reports previously published
through the Vienna Reiehspost or en-
mating from other sourcesg o to show
that the Bulgarians are having no easy
task. Nothing is known as to whether
the battle continues, The British gov
ernment has received no news from the
seat of war for some days.
What perhaps is of greater import
than the progress OF the hostilities IN
southeastern Europe, however. is the
revelations Of the tremendous ravages
cholera is making, not only among the
destitute refugees, VINO are arriving
daily III thousands at Constantinople
but among the Turkish troops on tie
Tchatalja lines. II is supposed that this
danger well might suffice to make the
Bulgarian commanders pause and in
duce the Bulgarian government to ar
range an armistice and negotiate
peace. since air the practical objects
for which the war was undertaken al
ready have been secured and there
fore, 1t is useless TO run the risk OF
an epidemic of cholera in the Buga-
rian army for the sake of formal en-
try into Constantinople, tic avoid which
il is believed Turkey is ready to agree
to almost any terms.
4 significant article appears in the
Bulgarian government organ Mir. IL
declares that peace is imminent and
holds out the olive branch To Turkey
to enter into good understanding
with the Balkan League.
a Constantinople dispatch to the CO.
loene Gazette declares that Bulgaria
has abandoned her Intention to enter
Constantinople. being thus advised by
Russia and Great Britain. Altogether.
although the report that an armistfce
already has been arranged has not
been confirmed, all Indications point
in that direction.
From other points at the seat of
war comes news of the occupation OF
the peninsula of Mount Athos by the
Greeks and the march of the Greek
army from Saloniki TO join in the Ser
Wan attack en- Monastir. This attack.

Work on SeabOard Expected,

Bishopville, Feb. 14.-It appears
that the A. G. l.. people have been
informed Of the intentions Of the
Heaboard people for they have been
collecting supplies and assembling
workmen at this point for the last
three days and have commenced put
ting down side tracks across the
proposed crossing Of the Seaboard. It
IS understood that it is their inten-
ton TO place as many as four tracks
across the line and to keep cars
standing on the point Of the proposed
crossing continually.
1t is also understood that there is
no law governing in cases Of one rail-
road crossing another. Our commu-
h'ty Is vividly excited over the pros
pect OF civil war when the s;eaboard
people bring up their forces. Seriously
though. this state Of affairs is alb
surdly ridiculous and an end should
be made OF it by Legislative enact
ment, and II Sumter ever expects to
enjoy the benefits which flow from
railroad competition, it should come
to the rescue in this crisis.

Editor Daily Item
In your excellent write-up Of the
show Saturday night, contained in
yesterdays paper, you very pertinent
ly ask: should the police allow "A
show 70 continue its performance af-
ter midnight. when it laps over into
Sunday morning" This question Is
one TO which i think little more Sc
rious thought should be given. or
course. II there Is q law applying to
such incidents, which are rare, indeed,
the police should enforce the law,
for such 10 their duty. but what
shall we say Of the law? Isn't 1t
about time that such relic Of me-
ieval bigotry be repudiated and re-
pealed? Such laws are certainly out
&C keeping with our modern ideas Of
justice and liberty, as. witness the al
most total disregard of the city or
dinance closing the stores on Sun
day. IL one-half Of the voters who
disregard that law. thereby showing
their utter lack OF sympathy Cor any
such prohibition, would vote as they
act and ,s they really feel. such laws
would not remain on the statute
book longer than the time necessary
to repeal them.
Such laws do not make Sunday any
more sacred nor any individual any
more moral. while they violate the
most elementary principles OF justice.
liberty and equality, and are a di-
rect violation Of the United States
constitution. They smack loudly Of
18th century intolerance. Of which, in
fact, they are about the last vestige.

Mcleod. who was doing a small mer-
camille business in South Lynchburg
lost his storehouse and goods, az
we'll as his dwelling and all Of his
household effects. by fire last Sunday
morning between / and o'clock.
He and his son, who were sleeping
in the rear end of the building had
very narrow escapes. The building
was partially insured. How and when
the fire originated no one knows.
An old storehouse containing a
quantity OF cotton seed in an adjoin-
ing lot was also destroyed. There
was no insurance on the latter.
Col. j. A. Rhame, after several days
illness. is reported convalescing. But
for tho skill OF DR.. j. w. Tarrant his
condition would doubtless have been
very serious.
The second spell Of snow, as did
the first some two weeks age. took
everybody by surprise. The snow is
today melting rapidly. In this sec
ton II averaged about IL inches in
dopth-heavier than the first. The
ceilings In some OF the dwellings were
badly damaged.
Mr.. w. T. Mcleod has sold his
store building with the entire stock
or goods to Mr.. s. c. Fitzpatrick. who
In the trade sold nearly all Of his real
estate to Mr.. Mcleod. The latter will
resume his old business as travelling
salesman again.
Old Mr.. Il. +. Mcleod Is still con-
fined to his room. His extreme age is
very much against his recovery. He
Is between so and 80 years old.
