ARMISTICE
HAS ENDED,
WAR AGAIN
BULGARS And The TURKS
Will Once More Battle For
Supremacy

London, Jan. 27.-The drafting of =
note rupturing peace negotiations
was begun this morning by the Bal
kan allies.
The committee of delegates en-
trusted with this important work con>
sisted of Michael Marjaroff, Bulga-
rian minister in London; Pref. George
Streit, Greek minister to Austria
Hungary; DR.. M. R. Vesnitch, Ser
Wan minister to France, and Count
Voynoitch, chief of the cabinet OF
King Nicholas, of Montenegro, with
NJ Politis, of the Greek delegation as
an adviser on questions of interna
tional law.
The committee expects to complete
its work tonight and to submit its
work to the plenary sitting of the Bull
garian, Greek, Montenegrin and Sery-
ian delegation.
However, even if the Balkan allies
were anxious to resume hostilities,
which it is currently reported that
they are not anxious to do, at least
fifteen days must elapse before the
guns can again begin to roar.
Even if the draft of the note is
completed tonight, its revision by the
delegations will take some time and
the final draft could not be presented
to the Turkish delegation and to Sir
Edward Grew as honorary presiden.
of the peace conference, before Wed,
nesday.
1t is understood that the note will
give the Turkish delegation time in
Whlcn 10 answer, the expiration OF
that period to occur on Sunday, Sc
that the Turkish reply would not be
delivered until Monday next.
Then the allied delegations will
have to notify their respective gov,
ernments and ask Sir Edward Grey
to convoke final sitting Of the con.
ference for the official rupture of the
negotiations and also in order to
thank the British government for its
hospitality.
This will take at least three days
making it February 9Th.

SUMTER ROADS
WITHSTAND
The RAINS
REMAIN IN GOOD SHAPE
Commissioners Are Planning
improvements

The durability of Sumter's good
roads has been fully attested duriag
the season of continuous rain, as while
perhaps a little rough for automobiI IS
in some sections, the roads are in
excellent condition for the heavy haul
ing of fertilizer by wagons, condi-
ton quite different from that prevail
ing at this time last year.
Following a long season of bad
weather, together with the loss of
two expensive culverts about a year
age, the roads out of Americus were
in plight, the Leslie and Lee street
roads being impossible for long
time at two points near the city.
This year, however, there has been
no complaint regarding the roads 50
far as the hauling of heavy loads up
on them is concerned. Rains have not
put any of the highways out of COM
mission, and with four gangs of con-
1icts constantly at work, making need
ed repairs there will probably be no
complaint at all.
On some short sections, where
gravel has been used, the advantage of
this material is quite apparent, and
it is the purpose of the county COM
missioners, wherever these gravel pits
are available, to use it in dressing off
the roads as far as possible. Once
put down in gravel, the work is per-
manent.
The county commissioners have
planned many needed Improvements
this year upon all of the county roads,
with the view of vastly improving
their condition, if funds to this end
are made available.

PUTS BLAME
FOR SOCIAL
EVIL ON Man
IN ROCKEFELLER'S REPORT
Work of the Bureau of
Social Hygiene

New York, Jan. 81. Man, not
woman, is responsible for the organ
lied commercial social evil in this
country, in the opinion of John D.
Rockefeller. Jr. 1T is a mans busi-
ness, run for profit, and the profit is
large he says.
The views are expressed in state
ment made public by Mr. Rockegeller
today, giving further details of the
aims of the bureau of social hygiene,
through which Mr.. Rockefeller and
other philanthropists hope to attack
and alleviate conditions which he con-
siders the greatest single menace to
the perpetuation of the human race.
"The idea of establishing a perma-
nent organization to cope with the
social evil in this city," says the state
ment, "was the outgrowth of my serv-
ice of six months as foreman of the
white slave grand jury appointed in
New York city at the beginning (
1910 I came at that time to realiza
the extent and horror of the evil and
to believe that it constitutes one OF
the great and vital world problems of
the day. In the judgment of eminent
medical men, it forms, from the point
Of view of disease, the greatest single
menate to the perpetuation of the hu-
man race. Therefore, as a result OF
conferences with many people, the
bureau of social hygiene was estab-
lished.
Under the direction of the bureau
George J, Kneeland, who conducted
the investigation carried on by the
Chicago vice commission, has mare q
comprehensive study Of vice condi-
tions in this city, and Abraham Flex-
ner has spent nearly a year abroad
investigating the methods of dealing
with this problem in the leading
cities Of Europe. He will make fur
ther studies in a number of the larger
cities of this country. AS each of the
studies is completed it will be pub
lished, and, until this is done, the
bureau deems it unwise tod prema-
ture to express its conclusions or a

Americas fans will be interested in
the statement coming from President
James Sinclair of the Empire State

The final meeting of the league di-

Americus and Thomasville in Valdos-

There was distinct fall of the

WANTS GOOD COUNSEL ONLY
IN CASE OF DEFENSE
Negro Poorly Defended Gets
Communication

Atlanta, January 27.-Because he
was defended by an inexperienced
lawyer, Gov. Brown to-day commutei
the sentence of Henry Taylor, a ne
gro, who was to have been hanged in
Baldwin county next week, to life
Imprisonment.
In connection with his action in say.
ing the negro the Governor practical
ly puts the courts of the state on
notice that he will not stand for in
experienced and unframed counsel
being assigned to the defense of poor
and ignorant criminals, especially
when these are on trial for their
lives, or for offenses which may give
them long penitentiary terms.
The Governor insists that the
courts shall provide counsel for the
defense in such cases equal in ability
to the counsel for the state.
In connection with the negro's ap-
peal for clemency, the father of the
man who was killed wrote the Gov
ernor saying he did not think murder
was intended, and asked him to be
lenient.

HOLDING COTTON AS
The PRICE ADVANCES
Owners Of Staple Not Anxious
to Sell

While Americus warehousemen dis
posed of some cotton, long held, yes
terday, the desire of holders to sell
was not so much in evidence as last
week. Now that the price of cotton
appears to be going higher, the anx-
ious holders of a few days ago are in
clined to hold for still higher prices.
Yesterday, Americus dealers asked
10 IA cents for the finer grades of co..
ton, of which but little remains in
local warehouses. The cotton gener-
ally offered now is of middling and
low middling grades, and brings a
lesser price.
That the crop in Sumter county is
pretty well marketed is evident, al
though a few bales are received every
day at the warehouses. Total receipts
here already exceed $4,000 bales, which
have brought considerably more money
to the farmers than did $4,000 bales
sold here last season at lower price
Stocks in the warehouses here are
rapidly diminishing, and. any material
advance in the market will result in
the sale of 1900 or 1900 bales still held
here

MISS ADDAMS Tells
ABOUT SUFFRAGE
Housekeeping Now Beyond
Our Homes"

Chicago, Jan. Women need the
ballot for municipal, county, state and
n3tional affairs" says Miss Jane Ad-
dams, in an interview just given out
"My experiences in Chicago have con
vinced me that equal suffrage would
be great help. We established pub
lie baths there by private means, but
wien the baths were transferred to the
municipal authorities they were not
kept open in the evenings, just when
shey were most needed In addition
| thete were so many men who wanted
to use the baths that it was difficult to
secure any hours for the women
"By private philanthropy, nurses
were provided to care for children dur
ing the hot weather, but when the city
took over this work, the number of
nurses was reduced, and the result was
rapid increase in the infant death
rate.
I'VE must know that milk is not
| poisoned, we must teach mothers to
care for their children, and it is OBJ
vious that in this women's judgment
J is most valuable. The officials seem
to think that as long as these things
for the public welfare are done by
private philanthropy, it is fine to have
the women in charge, but as soon ds
they are turned over to municipal au-
thorities, then it at once becomes
wrong. That is absurd. The play
ground movement was started as phi
lanthropic. Now that it is under the
city women are called in in an advis-
ory capacity But why not direct?
"The United States is almost the
only country where women do not have
the municipal vote. In my work among
women of various nationalities | have
been surprised at the large number Of
foreign women who had votes before
they came to America.
'It is the womanly duty to care for
the sick, the aged, the feeble and the
children. What should a state care for
if it is not for child labor, legislatins
when children should start work, and
for the vocational school and half time

sentative Lindbergh will appear in sup

up much trouble among the committeeman

The Bull Moose advocate of the open

sent TO a slight modification Of his resolu-
ton, and If this was accepted the Bank

would take the initiative in abolishing ex-
ecutive sessions as they now existed. Mr..
L.ndbergh says he is not representing
specifically the Progressive party in his
demands but that his personal views lean
toward publicity OF all committee meet
