which will make the mail-order

Reject Guarantees.

Bucharest Aug. 6 The Ball in
pace delegates today showed no
disposition to reconsider their re-
lection of the request by the
United States that t h e peace
treaty contain a guaranty of civ
il and religious liberty in the ter
ritory affected.
The plea was made in a note
from the State Department but
there was nothing known here of
the action of the United States
until nj. Majoresca, the Roum-
anian premies, read the n ote
aloud. He said that as all the
Balkan states had laws covering
the point, it would be obviously
superhuous to put it in the treaty.
The other delegates agreed with
him.
Natural human sympathy may
yet prevent Bulgaria from losing
all the spoils she won in the Turko
Balkan war, Premier Pasitch of
Servia and Premier Venizelos of
Greece wired their respective
sovereigns for permission to ex-
tend the Bulgarian frontier so as
to include a big area of the ter

from Turkey.

On the plea Of former ADJUDICATION,
Attorney Geo. A. Bangs, representing
the city of Bowbells in the controver-
sy over the county seat of Burke
county secured a dismissal of the con-

the proceedings being conducted at
Bowbells.
From the dismissal order it is ex-
pc"ted that Ignite supporters will
make an appeal to the supreme court.
Attorney Bangs probably will arrive
home tonight from Bowbells.
The Burke county seat case has
been under way for several years. 1t
resulted from the fact that Bowbells
won the county seat honors. though
Ignite secured the largest vote. The
