Money of the Country
Inadequate

1t IS beginning to dawn Oh
the fnauceers among our

that the supply OF money is
absolutely inadequate.

INADEQUATE supply OF money
for some time with which to
carry on the business of So

group of our greatest states
men said that there should
be about one dollar III money
for each thirty dollars i'll pro

ratio we should have five bill

which to do business with the

There are hundreds of people in
sumer County who have not attended
the Corn Exposition and we feel con
ndent that everyone would not only
enjoy a day spent at the exposition
but would derive lasting benefit from
what they would learn. 1t is really a
wonderful show and while much can
tie learned In day. week could be
pofitably and pleasantly spent in
making a careful and systematic study
Of the exhibits. Those In chage OF the
show have decided to keep 1t open un-
I'll next Friday night and the people
OF the State are thus given FIVE more
days in which to see the greatest ag-
ricultural show ever held in the
South. Sumter county has probably
sent as many people to the Exposition
as any other county In the State. for
each day since the opening large
crowds have gone from this place; but
this is not the point. for every one
that has attended the show there are
dozens who should so so and will re-
gret not having attended when they
realize that they have neglected one
OF the opportunities OF life time. II
Is stated that some Of the up-country
towns are planning for special days
next week and will run special trains
TO carry large delegations. 1t is not
necessary TO operate special trains for
Sumter, as the regular trains are op-
Grated on convenient schedules aad
can accommodate all who may desire

DC well TO select one day next week
as a special Sumter Day" and send
over a rousing big crowd from this
city and county. The high school de-
partment OF the city schools ought to
give holiday one day in order that as
many OF the high school pupils as
may desire NAV attend the show. A
day so spent would be of great edu-
cational value and would be Of lasting
beneft to both the boys and girls CT
the higher grades.

TURKS MAKE BOLD MOVE.
ARE REPORTED IN ADVANCE

Dispatch From ConstantinoDIc SAYS
Movements of Bulgarians Causes
Serious Anxiety There.

London, Feb. 9.-SOme light is be-
ginning to be shed by the brief Off
cial dispatches which contain almost
all the available news upon the mill
tary tactics in the Balkan campaign
report of attempts on the part Of
the Turks to land troops along the
coast of the Black sea and the SEQ
OF Marmora, which heretofore We're
learned only from unofficial sources.
are now officially admitted and il
looks as though Enver Bey's mys-
terious and desperate move, of which
there have been some rumors was an
attempt to effect a landing at Char
keu, about 80 miles to the southeast
of Rodosto, with the intention of r.
heVlng the pressure of the Bulgarian
attack on the Bulair lines.
This movement of the Bulgariars.
according to an uncensored dispatch
from Constantinople, is causing Sc
rious anxiety at the Turkish war of.
flee. 1t is now known that the allies
are advancing in strength against l}u-
lair, and the Constantinople dispatch
adds that the Greek fleet has appeared
in the Gulf of Saros, where Servian
troops also are reported to have
landed to assist the Bulgarians.
1t now seems clear that the allies
have abandoned the attempt to force
the Tchatalja in favor of an attempt
to capture the Gallipoli peninsula, so
as to open the way by sea to Con-
stanInople.
According to the Turkish reports.
Turkish reconnaissances have reached
Tcherkesskeui and Tchorlu, which
would indicate that the Bulgarians,
who few days ago were reported to
have moved their headquarters to
Tcherkesskeui, are moving their lines
still farther to the west.
King Ferdinand had gone to De-
deaghatch in order to be closer to
the scene of important operations.
Apparently heavy fighting is pro-
crossing near Scutari and the bonn
bardment of Adrianople is still in
progress.
There is no confirmation of a re-
port from Constantinople that Turkey
is sending a new peace delegation to
London.
The ConstantinopIe correspondent
of The Times confirms the report
that Haiku Pasha is proceeding to
London. 1t is supposed that he is to
replace Rechad Pasha Oh the re-
sumption of peace negotiations
An uncensored Constantinople dis
patch to The Daily News describes
Enver Bey's enterprise as a hopeless
ly pathetic muddle, like Rojensven-
sky's ruse to death at Tsushima. No
arrangements were made to land
horses and artillery, which will prob
ably be lost, and a heavy loss Of life
is likely to be entailed.

An Official Statement Saws Move

Against Bulgarians Before BuIair
Was Unsuccessful.
Sofia, Feb. Am official statement
issued this afternoon says the Turks
on Saturday took the offensive against
the Bulgarians before Bulair in the
GallipoH peninsula. After a fierce en-
gasement lasting several hours the
Bugarians repulsed the Turks, pur-
suing them to the Bulair forts. Many
wounded were left on the field
Turkish prisoners say six divisions
took part in the movement. At night
fall the Turks made another attempt
down the coast where 20 vessels had
made their appearance. The landing
parties from the ships were attacked
by the Bulgarians, who Inflicted heavy
losses. The Turkish vessels thereupon
sailed away.
All attempts Of the Turks to as
sumo the offensive at Tchatalja have
been checked. They essayed to land
troops at Podima to tne northwest
Of Istrandia on the Black sea, put
were beaten off, leaving so dead.
The bombardment of Adrianople
continues with uniform success. De-
serters says the people within the in
vested city are fleeing from one sec
ton to another to avoid the Bulgar-
ian's shells
