IT Is estimated that the war be-
tween Italy and Turkey Is costing Tur-
kew less than one fourth as much as
II is costing Italy. Turkey is spending
about 81, 100000 a month, while Italy
Is spending about $9,000,0O0, the latter
average having been much increased
when Italy's 10000 soldiers were be-
ing transported to Tripoli. Since the
war has now lasted about eight
months, the total military outlay
should on this estimate, have been
s1c.O00,0O0 for Turkey, and upward OF
s72,OOO,O00 for Italy. Italy raised the
necessary money by selling treasury
bonds; Turkey, by borrowing $I,5o9,-
600 from the Ottomon bank. with the
understanding that the obligations are
to be converted into a $50,00O,OOO hxed
loan, to be issued on the return OF
peace and to be secured by certain
custom receipts. AS modern wars CO.
this has been a relatively cheap one.
AS against Italys estimated daily
average war outlay Of S3OO,OOO, the
Roer war cost England $1,000,O00 per
day for two and a half years, and the
Manchurian war cost Russia and japan
about $1,000, 900 per day apiece during
a year and a half Of fighting.
Washington, June 19:-Interesting
stories come here from Baltimore. The
latest is that Charles F. Murphy, or
New York will support Governor Foss
for the nomination. Mayor Gaynor, II
is said, will get the New York vote on
the first ballot, and perhaps, Under-
wood or Harmon on the second. But,
when Murphy becomes serious, II is
said, he will go to Foss, to stay. Mur-
ply and Foss, are closely allied IN
business way and are friendly person.
ally, The Wilson boom has received
another setback Efforts to interest tn
New York leaders in Governor wills
has failed for the time at least II
looked some days ago as II wilson
might expect something from the en-
pire state but that Is doubtful now.
The Wilson people almost declared
themselves in favor of Senator OGor-
man for temporary chairman, but re-
mained silent and are not now empar-
rassed by the fight between Alton b.
Parker and Senator O'Gorman Tor

supporting Parker, as is Norman h
Mack. Thomas Taggart Of Indiana
may be standing with Murphy and
Mack. Friends of Governor Wilson
fear that a bitter factional fight be-
tween the conservatives and the pro-
gressives is coming.
DnhSOn.
chairman of the county Democratic
committee, issued a call today for the
county executive committee to meet
in this city next Saturday morning
at IL o'clock, for the purpose or nix
ing the assessments for the county
candidates. Owing to the fact that
there are few candidates In the field,
the assessments will necessarily be
rather high. Yesterday brought out
more interest in politics in Cherokee
than has been manifested in some
time. Heretofore there had been but
one announcement for the house or
representatives, that of N. w. Hardin
of Blacksburg, but today brings the
announcement of r. A. Dobson, seek
ing reelection and friends have put
in nomination the names of DR.. Will
liam Anderson, of Blacksburg, and
Mr.. j. B. Brown. a farmer, OF the
Ravenna section. Mr.. Brown has
never figured in politics, but DR.. An
derson has represented Cherokee In
he house in years past. The keenest
interest is manifested in the outcome
of this race as the gubernatorial par
ty lines are rather finely drawn. For
the office of county treasurer there
have been no announcements made,
but II Is generally understood that w.
-. Gaffney will be a candidate to sue
ceed himself. For the office Of county
auditor the same conditions apply and
]. w. George will offer for reelection.
Great interest is manifested in the
race for solicitor. Mr.. A. E. Hill has
been waging an active battle in this
county and yesterday saw Solicitor j.
G. Otis and Mr.. Ira w. Blackwood,
the other two candidates both in this
county.
Baltimore. June 20: Former Judge
Alton B. Parker of New York was Sc
lected today as the temporary chair
man of the Democratic national con-
vention. The choice of Judge Parker
was made against the protest of Will
liar j. Bryan, whose friends on the
Arrangement committee submitted the
names of four other candidates. Eight
of the sixteen votes of the committee
went to the New York jurist while Rep
resentative Henry Of Texas received
three, Senator elect Ollie James of
Kentucky three, Senator Kern OF
Indiana one and Senator O'Gor-
man of New York one. With Judge
Parker the committee chose Urey
Woodson of Kentucky as temporary
secretary and John |. Martin of Mis-
souri,, as temporary sergeant at arms.
The selection of the arrangement COM
mittee is in no sense final and must be
passed upon next Monday at a full
meeting of the national committee. Re-
port had it tonight that telegram had
been dispatched to Chicago to William
]. Bryan, asking that he come at once
to Baltimore. Several national COM
mitteemen said after today's meeting
that they expected a fight would be
made by Mr.. Bryan and his friends on
the floor of the convention against
Judge Parker's selection. The selection
of Judge Parker for temporary chair
man tonight drew forth severe criti-
cism from Senator Gardner of Maine.
There are scores of men in the coun-
try more competent to present the
keynote Of Democracy to the conven-
tion than Parker declared the Maine
senator. The Democratic party owes
him nothing and it would be folly to
place a man like him in such deli
cate position"
= The Georgia delegation to Balti-
more will get away next Sunday, says
an Atlanta dispatch. They will leave
atlanta shortly after IL o'clock on a
special train over the Southern rail-
way. Tom Fielder makes no secret
Of the fact that he will be on the
train, hence If Governor Blease, of
South Carolina, wants to have him
arrested which he has threatened to
do. he may have the opportunity
when the Atlanta man passes through
me Palmetto state. 1t might be ad-
ded that the South Carolina execu-
tive would apparently have the op-
portunity, but those who know Tom
Fielder haven't the least doubt in the
world but that the Atlanta man will
be at Baltimore when the convention
meets instead of languishing behind
the bars of a South Carolina prison.
1t is reported that ]. Randolph An
'erson. of Chatham, has been picked
out by the Georgia delegation to sec

Underwood at Baltimore. 1t is stated
that they have decided upon him in
