BULGARIA PREPARING FOR WAR
Unanimity Of Sentiment Is that Long
Cherished War May be Had Soon

st. Peterburg. Sept. 22.-An inves-
tigation Of conditions in Bulgaria
discloses a unanimity Of sentiment
that that country Is on the eve of a
long cherished war against Turkey.
Unless the conference which the Rus
sia foreign minister, Nj. Sazoneff. will
have in London with British states
men is fruitful for Macedonia, the
war party Is likely to gain the upper
hand. The army is already taking
active measures. Railroad tracks are
guarded throughout their whole ex-
tent. detachments are stationed at the
bridges and iequisition commissions
are canvess.rg the frontier towns.
Preparations also have been made to
require ample provisions. The serious
situation Is reflected In business and
foreign banks have suspended. The
specific policy Of King Ferdinand Is
now challenged by a systematic pro-
ganda for war. The massacre OF
l52 Bulgarians by Turks in August
at kotschana has stirred the nation
deeply. Meetings have been held in
all parts of Bulgaria. at which Tur-
key has been fiercely denounced.
The insurrection OF the wild Alba
Man tribes has opened the eyes of
Greece and Servia, and for the first
time Bulgaria faces the Turkish prob
lem In accord with those two coun-
tries. More important. there is an
earnest conviction that the present
international situation offers the Bull
garians the best chances Of success,
because 1t Is thought that Austria will
now decline To move wing TO he
triple alliance.

MARKET WATCHES REPORTS.
WEDNESDAY, ENDS SECOND GIN
MING PERIOD.
Maybe Bcarish Ginners' Report and
a Bullish Tale of Condition.

New Orleans. Sept. 22.-Unless
weather developments are out of the
ordinary, the cotton trade this week
will be chiefly concerned with bureau
reports. Wednesday will end the sec
ond ginning period Of the season and
also the last condition period If in
dications at the close Of last week
were anything to go by. the trade will
look for bearish ginners' report and
bullish condition report. With such
a state OF affairs. two main features
about balancing the weather will
probably move prices one way or an
other. There has been much con-
fiict Of opinion over the condition Of
the crop and 1t Is yet impossible to
say what the average opinion is.
With continued favorable weather
for picking. the bears will claim
large ginning returns for the entire
belt. even to the northern sections
II rains interfere with picking they
may still claim a large cut-turn from
the gins because 1t Is conceded that
In many sections Of the belt the gin
ming machinery he's been unable to
keep with the pickers and that a
large amount OF cotton has been
stored In the seed, waiting for q
chance to be ginned. Rain weather
would afford this chance, as it would
check the movement Of the crop from
the fields. Even the bulls are willing
to grant that the ginners' returns will
be large. The market will continue
to be very sensitive to storm and frost
news. The crop is late and, there
fore. open to more damage from
frost than usual.

1t Is probable that there will have
to be made some changes in the plans
for the depot of the South Carolina
Western Railway now being erected

Green street in this city.
In drawing the plans and specifica-
tions no provisions whatever were
made for any sanitary plumbing ac-

that all depots and railway stations

emily connected Herewith. and ade-
quate sanitary plumbing accommoda-
uons must be provided for patrons
and the travelling public.
The depot contractor said Monday
that the notice from the health de-
partment will ncccssitate changes In
the plans OF the depot and requested
the health officer to notify President
