Bulgarians Appeal to Wilson.

London, July 14.-The following statement has been forwarded by ca ble from Sofia, Bulgaria, to the presi- dent of the United States:
 The Greek government has com mited at Salonik an act of vandalism without precedent in history.
 'In despicable way it caused to be attacked and annihilated, without giving the possibility or time to ask instructions of their military com mander, the little Bulgaran garrison of occupation which had taken part in the capture of that city, and had been left there with the consent of .he two allied governments.
 "We, epresentatives of all classes of the Bulgarian people, stirred to the depths of our souls, denounce this fact to your eXcellency, and to the public opinion of your noble country and protest with indignation against this unheard-of act
 We deplore the crime of the Greeks so much the more as we wished to live with them in the rela- tions of friendship and good under standing so necessary for the liberty and civilization of the Balkan states and above all of the martyrized popu- lation of Macedonia, whose sufferines were the first cause of the war of lib eration."

ROCKEFELLER NOE| TALKS
FlNANCiER AT A THREE-HOUR
 MEETING OF R. R. BOARD.
Remarkable Change in Condition Since Sessions of the Pujo Commit
 tee Attributed to Outdoor Life.

New York, July 15.-Less than six months ago William Rockefeller, after being hunted for months by process servers of the Pujo congressional committee was excused from testify. iLg after the committee had found and gone to his Ilace of rest, on the ground he could neither talk nor write and that any excitement might cause his death through suffocatioa.
 Last week, on Friday to be exact, William Rockefeller, looking better than he has in some years, attended a threehour conference of the execu. tive committee of the New York. New Haven X Hartford railroad, called to discuss the very important report of the interstate commerce commission on the management of the company.
 He did his share of the talking and went to his North Tarrytown home apparently as fresh as any of the younger members of the committee, whose health has at no time been the subject of national discussion
 Apparently his rejuvenation is as remarkable as that of his brother, John D., who after many years of trouble with indigestion announced 8 few years back that his dyspepsio had gone and that he could once more eat anything he wished without dis tress.
 Friends of Rockefeller say his re- T. he leads than to any medical or sdrgi- cal treatment. He motors great deal and takes long walks about his place almost every day, and at all times keeps in close touch with af- fairs, though it is a long time since any movement of the stock market has been ascribed to his activities.

WE HOPE THEY'LL GET IT,

The State Farmers Union will
convene in annual session at the Isle
of Palms to-day and remain in ses-
sion for three days. This Is not only
quite large body of men, but it is
very representative one, and the

are Of great Importance to wide
territory and a large membership.

The invitation to hold the meeting
at Walhalla will also be presented

thought that Oconee, being so far
from Charleston. would not have a
representative at tho convention, but
the letter to Mr.. Reid this morning
states that the county will be repre-

claims as the convention city for next
years meeting.
Oconee has one of the livest coun-
ty Unions in the State, and it Is tC
be hoped that the State organization
will acquiesce in the request OF the
delegates from this county. The an.
nual meetings have for some time
, we believe, been held in the more
centrally located cities and towns oi
