Loudon, Jan. ll.-Tho latest ad-
vices received by the Turkish dele
gates show that the Ottoman grand
council hps not met ut Constantine
oplc yet and IT, probably will not meet
rhe Turkish ENJOYS. kiamil the
xrxud yizicr. will in all probability
resign should the situation develop In
such u way that the grand council
will be called together.
Observers OF the situation in Lon
don express the opinion that Turkey
will reject tho advice Of the Euro
pean powers and that hostilitics will
be resumed.
The representatives Of the Balkan
tace all events. They say that no
fewer than 4OO,0UO OF their troops
are concentrated around tho fortress
Of Adrianoplc and along tho lines OF
Tchutalja, while all tho heavy siege
batteries have been placed In posi-
tion before Adrianopic.
General Boyovitch. the Scrvian
hero Of Monsstir asserts that within
two days Adrianople can now be
captured.
Although the mobilization of the
Russian and Italian armies is de-
nicd there IL no doubt that Austria
Hungary maintains her armamcnts
still with the object of enforcing her
claims in the Balkans. especially In

No Man i'm Carolina Has Done More
for the Farmers.
columbia Record.)

Farmers Of South Carolina owe
much to e. w. Dabbs, president Of
the State Farmers Union.
He resides in the Good Will sec
ton of Sumter county and unques-
tionably eXemplifies "peace upon
earth, good will to men" He has
nearly all of his life given largely of
his time and talents towards helping
to better the conditions OF his fell
lowmen, and particularly OF his bro
ther farmers.
AS a successful and Intelligent far
mer he has been prominently and
usefully identified with the farmers
movements, and has fought down
politics in farmers alliances for all
he was worth. AS a very useful, en-
thusiastic and courteous member Of
the Sumter Chamber OF Commerce,
Mir. Dabbs has done much towards
bringing about the present pull to-
gether' and friendly cooperation
which exists between Sumter city
and Sumter county.
He and Mrs. Dabbs have interest
ed themselves greatly and given
freely Of their time in the formation
of girls tomato clubs and boys corn
clubs. Mr.. Dabbs, knowing by per-
Sonal domestic experience in the rails
ing Of a number OF bright and pretty
girls and boys, and Mrs. Dab1s being
great friend Of everybody--boys
and girls in particular-realize that
we have just got to have an extra
number of men and women to har-
vest, cure, can and pickle and pre-
serve the millions Of ears OF corn,
tons Of fruits, vegetables and other
products of the soil, brought about
by increased yield per acre, and they
have wisely offered and awarded a
gold and silver medal for the first
and second best healthy babies, who
are to be record smashers in the
great and numerous bumper better
baby crop" record Sumter county Is
going to make in a few years, or
every year from this time on.
No man in South Carolina has
done more towards uniting the farm
ers Of this State for their best inter-
ests, and at the same time pointed
out more clearly that the city and
country must pull together, their in
terests being inseparahle at all times.
AS churchman, Sunday school
worker, a social welfare worker and
moral leader he stands second to no
man, according to the opportunities
presented to him. Mr.. Dabbs is
man of immense value to his county
and State.
Mr.. Dabbs grows bumper" crops
OF corn, cotton, oats, potatoes, chick
ems, and other farm products.

CAN SAVE MILLION IN A YEAR.
Government Armor Plate Factory
Suggested-Prices Excessive.

Washington, July 14.-Naval ex-
perts' figures showing that govern
ment armor plate factory, costing
$S,466,0O0, would save $140 a ton
on armOr, or more than a million
dollars net year, were submitted
to Congress to-day by Secretary Dam
iels. The secretary's report was sent
in response to a Senate resolution,
and supplemented previous state
ments issued by him advocating a
government owned armor plant.
Millions can be saved either by op-
Grating a government plant or by
compelling competition among the
private manufacturers, Mr.. Daniels
declared. Therefore he asked Com
gress to make a full, thorough and
early investigation of the cost Of an
armor plate factory and the cost Of
manufacturing armor plate In facto-
ries owned by concerns dependent
upon government patronage.
Reviewing the situation In his re-
port, the secretary said the accepted
plan had been that the Bethlehem,
Carnegie and Midvale plants should
be given the armor work at practical
ly their own prices

BLEASE HITS AT BRYAN.
Says Secretary Should Leave Cabinet
or Quit Lecturing.

Hcndersonville, N. c., July Ia
Governor Blease, of South Carolina,
in an interview to-day attacked Will
liam Jennings Bryan, who lectured
here yesterday, for going into cha
tauqua work while Secretary of
State.
The Governor said he did not be-
lieve the drawing Of a double salary
was right, and that Bryan should
resign from the Cabinet if he found
as the Secretary of State indicated in
an Interview published here, that he
could not live on the salary of the
office.
The Governor further stated that
Mr.. Bryan's going about the coun-
try lecturing reminded him Of "a
cheap circus horse rider operating
under the crack Of a whip"
He also stated that Senator Till
man had ruined himself with the
people of South Carolina in Just the
same manner, when he went about
lecturing instead Of remaining in
washington and attending to the
business Of the State.
