TURKISH WAR HASRESUMED
TURKS MUST QUIT EUROPE, is
SLOGAN OF ALLIES.
Bombardment of Adrianople Begins
After Two Months Armistice.
Attempts at Peace Fail.

London, Feb. 3.-The Balkan
war has been resumed. The bonn
bardment of Adrianople began at Z
o'clock tonight and a small skirmish
occurred at the Tchatalja lines. The
armistice had lasted exactly two
months.
Bulgaria has turned deaf ear
to the remonstrances Of the Powers,
and unless Turkey yields to the Bal
kan demands the allied armies will
now attempt to drive her completely
out of Europe.
According to dispatch from Bel
grade tonight, Scutari already is on
the point of falling. It is reported
that the Turkish commander has sent
two representatives to the Servlan
commander to propose the capitula-
ton of that town.
No Further Armistice.
DR.. Daneff, head of the Bulgarian
delegation, in an interview in Paris
tonight said he had promised Sir
Edward Grey, the British Foreign
Secretary, that if the Turks immedi-
ately accepted the allies conditions
they would conclude peace, but
whatever happened, there would be
no further armistice.
Sir Edward Grey had long in
terview with the King to-day, after
which he attended brief meeting OF
the amt assadorial conference, but
nothing of importance was trans
acted.
Cling Back to Berlin.
Osman Miami Pasha,, the second
Turkish delegate, will leave Lon
don tomorrow to resume his am
bassadorial duties at Berlin. He said
this evening that from information
received from military sources
he believed the allies under
estimated the condition Of the
Turkish army, and would find
themselves confronted by a re-
doubtable enemy, the best Mussul-
man warriers, veterans from Arabia,
who had fought under Izzet Bey, and
tried soldiers and good marksmen
lately engaged in Tripoli under En-
yer Bey and Fethy Bey.
He added: THE ambassador was
right who predicted that if driven to
despair the Turks would fight like
wild animals"

GIRL WAS SOLD TO GYPSY.
For Whom She Says She Worked for
Eight Long Years.


Startling charges that she was sold
when seven years of age by an Or
phanage superintendent to a gypsy
for $500 and that for eight years
she has served him as a slave were
made to the police and humane Of
ficers at Los Angeles, CAL, by Alice
Mitchell, fifteen years old.
She declares she has since been
compelled to pose as fortune teller
and dancing and singing girl, CIV
ing her earnings to the man and suf-
fering frequent beatings.
The girl for some weeks had been
telling fortunes in little booth on
Main street, between First and Sec
ond streets. The other day, she says,
she earned S21, which she took to
her alleged master, but the latter
was not satisfied with this, she de-
clares, and she was compelled to 90
to some place, the location of which
she does not know, and dance and
sing before men until late hour.
The arresting officer was told OF
the case by a girl in whom the child
had confded. The Humane Society
was called in, the child turned over
to the Juvenile Court and an investi-
cation begun. The police are seek
ing the gypsy.

A pretty home wedding was that
of B. w. Beard and Miss Lottie Clay
ton, celebrated at the home, of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Clayton, of the Colston community,
on Sunday afternoon last, the cere-
mony being performed by the pastor
of the contracting parties, the Rev.
E. A. Mcdowell. A host of their
relatives and friends were present to
witness the ceremony and to wish
Joy to the young couple. The bride
received a number of pretty and use
full presents.
Another marriage of much inter-
est, occurring at later hour on the
same afternoon, was that of Mr.. R.
l.. Kearse and Miss Bessie Mcmillan,
which took place at the Ehrhardt
Baptist parsonage. Just at i've
o'clock the wedding party drew up
in front of the parsonage and, ac-
companied by the strains of Men
delsohn's wedding march, rendered
by Mrs. Mcdowell, marched into the
parlor where the ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. E. A. Mcdowell.
The party returned the same after
noon to Olar, the home of the groom,
and in. which town he is engaged in
the mercantile business. The bride
is the popular and attractive daugh-
ter of Mr.. Preston Mcmillan, OF
Springtown, in which community she
will greatly missed.
The meeting is still in progress at
the Methodist church, and the pas
tor, who is conducting it himself
without ministerial aid, is preaching
some mighty fine sermons, and we
believe much good is being accom-
plished.

SENDS BULLET INTO HIS HEAD.
Douglas Latham Dies in Columbia
from Self.Inflicted Wound.

from Self.lnhlcteQ wound.
Columbia, Feb. douglas NJ.
Latham, young white man of Cam
den, committed suicide in a local
store this morning by shooting him
self through the right temple with a
32-calibre Colts pistol. He was
rushed to a hospital for treatment,
but died tonight.
The unfortunate young man had
been an inmate of the State Hospital
for the Insane and had just been re-
leased this morning, with the inten-
ton, it was said, of leaving for his
home in Camden this afternoon.
About 1890 o'clock to-day he
walked into a local hardware store
and asked to see pistol. The clerk,
R. S. Marks, showed him one and
Mr.. Marks said that Latham then
asked him to load the pistol as he
wanted to see how it looked loaded.
According to the statement OF Mr.
Marks, Latham took the pistol in his
hands, and Immediately there was
binding report and flash and
Latham fell to the floor with blood
oozing out of his head. He had shot
himself through the right temple.
The clerk ran back to some others In
the rear of the store and reported
what had happened and the front
door was at once closed and Magis-
trate Fowles telephoned for. He
arrived at once and took the pistol
from the hands of the wounded man,
who was still clutching it tightly with
his right hand. Doctors had been
summoned and they at once applied
medical aid and the wounded man
was removed to hospital, where
he fingered throughout the day.
Letters found on the person OF
Latham disclosed the fact that his
family lived in Camden. There was
letter from his two sisters from
Camden and a night telegram from
a brother, who styled himself
tramp from some far-away section.
Telephone communication with the
State Hospital revealed the informa-
ton that Latham had just been re-
leased from there this morning.
Several letters from relatives In
Camden were found on his person
and it was said that he had but go
cents in his pockets. All of these
possessions were taken in charge by
the coroner.
One who knew the family said
that the young man has q wife,
mother and two sisters in Cam
den. A letter found on his person
was signed by two of his sisters and
gave the address at 1,01S Littleton;
avenue, Camden, S. c. 1t is said that
the father of the young man came
from Kentucky to Camden and con-
Quoted a live stock business, dying
several years ago and leaving a wife
and several children, among them
Douglas Latham, who was the
youngest.
The affair created considerable ex-i
citement, occurring just when the
streets were filled with people, and
large crowd gathered around the
store door. No reason can be assign
ed for the rash deed beyond the
fact that the young man was sup
posed to be demented.

BAMBERG, S. c., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 6,
ACCUSED OF KILLING FATHER.
Victim Shot Down While Sitting
Alone in His Home at Night.

65 years of age, an excellent citizen
of this county living near Jonesville,
was foully murdered between Z and
o'clock last evening, having been
shot in the left face and neck as he
sat by his fireside alone reading a
newspaper His son, Harry Coleman,
about 26 years of age, is in jail
charged with being the murderer,
the motive ascribed being the de-
sire to come into his inheritance at
once.
The dead man was quite well-to-
do, and, except for son who has
not been heard of in number OF
years, Harry is his only child or heir.
There was a rain yesterday and
when Sheriff FAINT early this morning
examined the premises he found that
the assassin had stood behind clump
of evergreen close to the house and
fired a big charge of slugs and bull
lets into the old mans head; the
trail led to and from this point to a
blacksmith shop.
Killed with His Own Gun?
Robert Coleman's gun had been
in this shop During the night Har-
ry Coleman got this gun, it is said,
and took it to the house of neigh
bor, and when examined this morning
one barrel was wet and showed every
sign of having been recently fired.
The tracks in the soft mud fitted
the shoes of Harry Coleman, it is
said, exactly. Dogs were sent to the
scene from Columbia this morning.
They took up the trail and went
over it. Harry Coleman was sent to
climb a tree some distance away, and
the dogs put on the trail promptly
treed him, it is said. He was then
taken into custody.
1t appears further that Robert
Coleman's housekeeper' was at the
house of a neighbor last evening.
They heard a gun fired. About half
an hour later, it is stated, Harry
came to the house. He and the
housekeeper went to the Coleman
house some time later. and there
they found the old man lying uncon-
scious on the floor. He died this
morning without speaking.
Denial from Prisoner.
The accused was visited in the
Jail. He stated that he knew moth
ing of the killing, who had done 1t
nor why. He was not indisposed to
talk, but stated that there was moth
ing for him to say other than that:
There are various rumors con-
cerning the young mans character
and manner of life. A close nelghbor
saws he is a hard-working man, but
inclined to gamble, and of a some
what rowing disposition. The officers
who brought him in declare they
have strong evidence against him.
There was much indignation and ex-
citement here and at Jonesville over
the outrage. Had suspicion fallen on
almost any one else there is little
doubt that there would have been a
lynching. AS it was the officers
brought their prisoner to jail before
the inquest in order to avoid crowd
that was becoming dangerous.
The coroner's jury, after an IN
quest held at Jonesville, late to-day,
returned verdict charging young
Coleman with the killing. He refused
| to comment on the jury's finding.
