Bucharest, Roumania, July 1.-THE
Roumanian government decided yes
terday to notify the Bulgarian govern
ment that the Roumanian army would
cross into Bulgarian territory and also
that Roumania would take part in the
discussion Of the final partition Of the
territory OF what was formerly Euro

Roumanian troops today occupied
the Bulgarian city of Silistria. on the
right bank of the Danube. They were
not opposed by the Bulgarians.
Silistria is very important point on
the Danube. and has been in existence
as city since the Roman era. Until
the conclusion OF the Russo-Turkish
war in 1873, 1t has been for about 500
years the main bulwark of the Ottoman
empire, on its northern European
frontier. 1t sustained many sieges thru
the centuries and always offered II
stout resistance. Even as late as the
Crimean war it was able to defy bonn
bardment by the Russians but after
the last Russo Turkish war the Turks
retired and left it in the hands OF the
Bulgarians.
1t has more than 10000 inhabitants
many Of whom are Mohammedans.

PUBLIC OPINION

Sir:-Througn the columns of your paper should like to suggest to such of your readers as are Interested, the formation of an association of com muters on the N. r.. N. H. & H. R. R. There are a great many thousand such commuters, and all of them have eer- tain vital interests in common; indeed some of these interests are, or may be, almost as vital as life itself. To individuality present these interests be- fore a large corporation, or to the community itself, pr to an official dele gation of the community such as the Public Service Commission, the coron- CT, the courts, etc, involves @ waste of energy and eff1ciency.s But to com bine the interests of these several thousand persons and to have this combined interest officially represented whenever there seems to be need of public action for the good of the travelling public would lend influence and effectivefess, would be a benefit to the community, to the railroad and above all to the commuters them selves. A comparatively trifiing sum of money from each commuter@say, $1 a year-wou1d amply care for the expenses of having the, commuters interests watched and suitably rep resented by counsel when occasion arose, Will those persons who favor the formation of such an association kindly send their name, address and business occupation to the undersign- ed? If sufficient interest is shown to warrant it, a meeting will be arrang- ed where appropriate action can be taken, No money is wanted at pres ent.

WAR GAME THIS YEAR
 ON LONG ISLAND SOUND.

Washington, June 24.-P1ans are under way for joint army and navy coast defense exercises to be held on Long Island Sound and Narragansett Bay during the week beginning Au- gust A. This is the first time such a program has been arranged since 1905, and it is expected that the ma neuvers in tests will prove particularly valuable in showing improved meth ods evolved in the past eight years.
 Major William Cham ber1ain, Coast Artillery Corps, has been designated to perfect preparations for the event and will reach Washington tomorrow from Fort Monroe to confer with Brig adler General Erasmus M. Weaver, chief of the Coast Artillery.
 Troops from all the Atlantic Coast states probably will be sent to the Long Island and Narragansett sta tfor:s to participate in the exercises and Rear Admiral Badger, command ing the Atlantic fleet, will designate ships to take part. It Is expected that a majority of the vessels of the feet will have a part in the program at some time during the week.
 General Weaver said last night that with an idea to seeing whether the coast defenses or the navy would come out victorious, but that the naval craft would cooperate with the Coast Artillery to enable the latter organiza- tions to esuS+ out certain schemes and plans.

ANNUAL MEETING OF EQUAL SUFFRAGISTS
Will Be Called to Order In the Henry Sanford House
 Tomorrow

The Bridgeport Equal Franchise league will hold its annual meeting in the Henry Sanford house, Washing ton avenue and Coleman street, to- morrow, at 2 o'clock. The first hour 'wn be devoted1to reports of the years work, the election of officers and new business.
 At o'clock Miss Alys Gregory of Norwalk, assistant organizer of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage associa- tion, will tell of the past winters work, which consisted of the nineteen weeks campaign in nineteen different Connecticut toWs. These towns were chosen because their population was between 5000 and 25,000. This work was interesting and successful as a strongfeeling toward Woman's Suffrage was found to exist in all these diff ferent parts of the state. The work was picturesque also, carried on as it was with stereopticon, three or four valuable window exhibits, voice1ess speeches and street and factory meet ings. At the invitation of MT. Poli, the campaigners spent the greater part of a week in Bridgeport in March and addressed two audiences daily at his theater. They also held many factory and street meetings here that week. and aroused a strong sentiment among people who had not given the subject any thought.
 Following Miss Gregory, Mrs. Carlos F. Stoddard whose work in New E1a- ven has brought about big results. will address the meeting. Mrs. Stod- dard Is the chairman of the execu- tive board of the franchise league in New Haven which has Mrs. Henry Wade Rogers as president. Mrs. Rog- CTS is~wife of the dean of Yale Uni versity and she and Mrs. Stoddard. working with other enthusiastic New Haven women, have increased the membership ID of their league to nearly 8, 900 people within two years. Mrs. Stoddard is the daughter of southern judge and has ready flow of wit and eloQuence. The subject of her address will be What a Vote Really Means.
 Members of the league and their friends will attend this meeting and it is also open to all who may desire to hear the subject of Woman's Suf- frage discussed. The general public is invited at o'clock.

Childhood After Fifteen Years Alb.
sence.

Mr.. and Mrs. Warren w. Smith and
daughter. of Peurto Barrios. Guate-
mala, Central America, are on a visi,
to Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. Strauss. Mr.
Smith lived at Mayesvile as a boy and
after his schooling there moved to
Norfolk, Va. From Norfolk Mr.
Smith located in Washington, d. c., In
the government service. While in
this capacity, he learned of the pos.
sibilities OF the future of the Central
American States and was employed
by the United Fruit Company to take
position in Guatemala.
Mr.. Smith says that he does no,
remember much of Sumter except il
was the county seat of his native coun-
ty as the changes since ne was here
are so remarkable that the slightest
recollection of any familiar scenes is
gone.
Mr. Smith did not forget the pro-
ducts of his native State, for some
years after his departure, fate with
its usual cunning presented Miss Will
lie Scale OF Abbevilie. S. c.. and he
hastened back to the Palmetto State
to make her his wife.
Mr.. Smith brings tidings from Mr.
Carlisle Strauss Of this city who is
also in the employ of the United
Fruit Co. Mr.. and Mrs. Smith expect
to remain In Sumter some days They
are on TOUR of the States, as Mr..
Smith calls his native land.

NEGRO BAi'rISTS IN SESSION.
tate Convention Holding Its Annual
Meeting i'm This City.

The State Baptist Convention Of ne,
groes Is now in session in this city,
the convention having been called
Wednesday morning in the Mt. Zion
Baptist Church by the Rev. j. ],
Durham, president Of the State con-
vention.
Representatives Of 800, 900 colored
Baptists of the State were gathered
together at the time and the conven-
ton bids fair to be one Of the largest
and most interesting ever held in the
State.
| The exercises were opened by pray
er and the preaching Of a sermon by
the Rev. G. w. Raiford of Aiken Fol-
lowing this came the presidents an
nual address, a very interesting and
instructive talk. The election of OFF,
GERS for the ensuing year resulted in
the reelection of former officers and
organization was perfected without de-
lay. The officers of the organization
are: President, Rev. j. j. Durham,
Columbia; vice-president, f. w.
Prince. Bennettsville; secretary, Rev.
w. II. Watkins, Belton; treasurer
Rev. Il. w. Bowens, Spartanburg.
The afternoon session of the con-
vention was given over to the well
coming of the delegates and responses
TO the speeches of welcome. The re-
port of the executive board was read
and showed that more work had been
accomplished in the year Just ended
than ever before. The night session
was largely taken up with the doc
trinal sermon by the Rev. David F..
Thompson Of Greenwood.
One of the features Of Thursday
mornings session was rally in behalf
OF Norris College Of this city. for
which an effort is being made by the
State Convention to raise $4,000. The
Rev. DR.. j. ]. Stark is president of the
college, which has done good work
among the negroes in the past year.
From the present outlook it seems
that the effort to raise the money
will be successful and the college will
be able to go on doing its work.
The negro Baptist State Conven.
ton, now in session in this city, was
organized here thirty-six years ago.
when it commenced it's work in the
educational and missionary field
among the negroes of the State.
