HOME RULE BILL FAILS.
Lords Reject Irish Government Mea-

London. After four days dis

The result was foregone conclusion.
The speeches aroused little interest,

Columbia, Feb. 1.-Douglas NJ.

VIEWS OF THE CORN SHOW.
Some of the Things That One Visitor
Saw and Comments On
To The Editor of The Item:

To The Editor of The Item
The Corn Exposition is worth while,
to put it mildly. To a South Caro-
linian it is so gratifying we are apt
to grow conceited and wonder why
in the world any one can make up
his mind to live on even tolerate the
idea of living in any other State.
The day the writer of this letter at
tended was simply perfect, COO!
enough for furs and sweet and bright
with the perfume of violets and sun
light. Under the roof Of the Expo-
sition building there is a liberal edu
cation: scientific methods applied to
the home and farm; model little
communities laid out to show the ru-
raj cltlzens how to be happy though
farming; ceever demonstration from
Winthrop Of how to make a fireless
cooker; tempting meals prepared
without a darkey in sight; lectures
from men it was a privilege to hear;
Music by Il good band, and best Of all.

pealed to every one it seemed A

spent most Of his time speaking un
derstandingly of conditions in the
South. OF course no one can describe
the eXposition-that would be too col
orless, but the advice of one who has
been is to go and do likewise The
air is good TO breathe for old and
young, happy looking lads, lots of
them prize winners with banners on
their arms, stood side by side with
gray headed men and talked together.
Clever looking women were giving
talks on every possible subject; how
TO cook, how to manage a home,
school and, even, how to conduct a
community religious meeting. Farms
were laid out with public play
ground, and crops planted with
precision which made you think Of
your grandmother's bed quilt; pigs so
clean and two tired looking COWS

is the pessimist. There is a fine at

Members of Ottoman Delegation Rid
icules Assertion That Allies Can
Storm AdrianOplc i'm Few Days.

London, Feb. 3.-rhe Porte has or

not to leave London until hostilities
are resumed and has instructed the
army to await the attack before firing
a shot Thus, the Ottomans, who
with the exception Of the Montenegrins
are the only delegates left in London,

added, Turkey wished TO avoid USE
less carnage and wished also to show
Difference to the advice of the pow
ers, although Europe had been unfair
toward Turkey
DR.. Daneff, head of the Bulgarian
delegation, before leaving the capital,
recalled what he had said in his first
statement on arriving in London that
the Balkan people had adopted the
Monroe doctrine to their peninsula
and aspired to become the Americans
OF Europe. They had inaugurated a
policy of sincerity and straightfor-
wardness, as was proved by their
frank conduct in the peace conference
where they demanded from the first
exactly what they intended to take,
against double dealing on the part Of
the Turks.
The Balkan representatives, he
said, would not have waited to their
own disadvantage so long before re-
suming hostilities but for the gem
uine regard in which the Balkan
Kingdoms held the powers. He again
rejected the idea that even a small
fraction OF Adrianople should be re-
tanned by Turkey.
DIR. Daneff concluded by saying:
Turkey should have understood
that she must abandon Europe entire

ed not only by the allies but by the

Balkan states, she will become their
friends"
Osman Nazim Pasha Of the Turkish
delegation ridiculed the assertion that
the allies would be able to storm
-Adrianople In a few days. He said
they were evidently playing on the
Ignorance Of the public. He pointed
out that the fortifications on the
hills surrounding the town form a
ciroic 25 miles in diameter within
which are other circles equally strong
In addition the town is protected by
such natural defenses as the rivers

fortress could resist any enemy even
tenfold superior in numbers, which
the allied forces are not.
The plan to take Adrianople by
starvation had evidently been aban-
doned. the Turkish commandant har-
ing proved his ability to furnish sup
plies indefinitely for the fighting men
and the civilians within the town.

Mr.. Jonathan Orr a Live Boe.ssr.

Mr.. Jonathan Orr, one Of the
numerous recent additions to Lee
county's new citizsnry was visitor
in Leesburg recently. Mr.. Orr came
to Lee county with the new year,
having purchased the Bats farm
at Smithville. He is live booster
for Lee county and for The journal
and he is we'll pleased with his new
home.
I am glad Lee county has
hustling newspaper, said he il
handing The Journal some kind
words. Nothing can mean more to
Lee county than a good newspaper,
if the people Of the county will only
give it active and persistent support.
There is no better county anywhere
I have been than Lee county. The
land here is the most susceptible to
building up Of any | have found in
Florida or Georgia, being naturally
fine land to begin with.
Mr.. Orr is a member Of the large
and well known Orr family Of New
nan. He went to Florida before he
came to Lee county, but he likes
Lee county far better than either
Florida or the red hills Of Cowcta
to which he returned first from
Florida and then deserted them for
Lee county. He brought with him
his wife, son and daughter who are
likewise delighted with Lee county.

Street Cleaning Is Still
In Progress Locally
Weed. and Cra.. Ar. Being Removed.

Street cleaning is still in progress
here, and, with the aid of one
horse moving machine, the city
STRENGTHENING squad is doing ex-
cellent work.
No partiality is being shown in
in this particular, az every section
of the city is coming in for its share
of attention. This is very timely
work and the people of Leesburg
appreciate the thoughtfulness of the
city Authorities in clearing away
the weeds and grass. Not only do
thestreets, and sidewalks look much
better, but they are very greatly
improved otherwise.
The street cleaning should also be
of use in preventing mosquitoes,
comparatively few of which trouble
some insects have been seen here
this season.
