NOT SATISFIED
Veterinarians Do Not Regard
the State Statute With
Favor

Gently held in Mitchell, the indics-
tions are that few of the regular
practitioners will apply for designa-
tons as deputies under the new live
stock law. At the examination held
by the board there we're only three
applicants.
Under the provisions Of the new law
all veterinarians. or those pIacticing
such profession. must take the board
examination. unless they have been in
practice in the state for q period of
FIVE years previous to the adoption of
the new law 1t is assumed that
many of the veterinary practitioners
in the state are legalized under the
6ve-year provision and that this is one
reason for the light showing at the ex-
animation.
On the other hand it is also evident
to the members of the board that most
of the graduate veterinarians intend to
display hostility to the law, rs indi-
Gated in the resolutions adopted at
their recent meeting. They contend
that the restrictions in this state are
not strong enough to conform to the
regulations in neighboring states.
There had been much agitation
among the farmers of the state over
the operation Of the previous live stock
regulations in this state and the de-
mand for a charge in the Law Ms one

To RESIGN
w h King to Relinquish
Position on Account of
Extravagant Wives

New York, Aug. 11.-Archibald c.
Everett, the only American king In
existence. has made up his mind TO
renounce his throne and is coming
back to New York. He is king of the
savage island Of Aroral, in the Gill
bert group of South Sea islands. and
until 1909 was a New York curb brok-
er.
The insistence of his wives, of whom
he has thirty, for English gowns.
which he desc iibes as an expensive
encroachment Of civilization, AMI his
Loneliness are the prime factols of his
decision. He makes his Intentions
known in a letter Just received by
Stephen ID. Day. of 100 West One
Hundred and Sixth street.
The gowns, he said, were recently
introduced on an accidental visit of
an English trader. His wives were
fascinated and discarded their beads,
the chief feature of their simple. trop-
zeal garb. Now. he h%umorously
writes they demand the latest fash
ions.
The career Of Everett has been TO
mantle. In 1909 be was a we'll known
figure on Broadway and was regarded
wealthy. Things cid not break right
for him In Wall street, however, and
in the latter part of 1909 be disap-
peared, without a word of farewell.
The next heard of him was in 1911,
when In q reu srkable letter be told Of
being made the king of Aroral. He
won his honors by means CT a phono-
graph he had in his possession.

bloodshed, but he regretted that the
nothing on their part and had turned
a deaf ear to humanitarian considera-
tions. He then read the following:
IF we refuse the cession Of Adrian
ople, it is because its cession is i'm
possible, for the security of Constan-
tinople and Dardanelles.
"'We still are ready today to dis
cuss the f. ntier line between Turkey
and Bulgaria, but this frontier must
leave Adrianople in Ottoman territory.
Wishing to give new proof of our
spirit of conciliation we consent to
desist from our rights over Crete, on
condition, naturally, that the allies do
, not claim the cession Of any other is
lands in the Aegean sea. If, nothwith-
, standing these enormous sacrifices,
the allies reject all idea of entering
the road to concession, wishing to
, break the negotiations, the whole re-
sponslDllity FOR the consequences of
this rupture will fall on them. In this
eventuality we declare all of the con-
cessions made until today null and
void"
The Balkan plenipotentiaries could
not conceal their dissatisfaction with
the statement, which although con-
tanning small concessions, left the sit
uation practically unchanged.
The general hope now is that in the
three days festivities of the Orthodox
Christmas, which has in the Balkans
all the poetical associations of ancient
tradition, the olive branch will be of
fered in the shape of official or un-
official Intervention by the powers.

DIPLOMATS EXPECT OTTOMAN
EMPIRE TO BOW TO WILL OF
POWERS.
Balkan states Seem To Demand
Adrianople as Sine Qua Non. Peace
Conference Suspended, But Prob
ably Will be Resumed.

London, Jan. 6.-The first stage of
the peace negotiations which is re-
garded by diplomats largely as one
OF pretense on Turkeys part to avoid
the appearances Of yielding to the
demands OF the allies without pressure
from the powers, is over now. 1t Is
expected that the second stage will
soon begin with the powers acting
behind the scenes and pulling the
strings which will compel Turkey to
concede to the bulk of the allies de-
mands.
without money, her army made
quate and demoralized, her statesmen
realize that Turkey is in no condition
TO resume hostilities.
AT today's sitting Of the conferences
Turkey renounced her rights in the
island of Crete and promised a recti-
ffcation of the Thracian frontier, but
insisted upon the retention Of Adrian
ople. The allies declared this was
not satisfactory and suspended the
conference.
That does not mean an end of the
negotiations. The conference may be
resumed either by Turkey giving noti-
fication that she has fresh proposals
to submit, or by the allies on the
grounds that they have communica-
tions to make to the Turks.
1t is generally expected that the
work of the conference will be taken
up again at the end of the week when
the festivities in connection with the
Orthodox Christmas are ended.
The allies today held a short meet
Ing before the official sitting and dis
cussed 3 possibilities with reference
to the statement which Rechad Pasha
had been asked to make respecting
the Balkan ultimatum and agreed to
the reply OF the allies.
First, IL Rechad Pasha's statement
was arrogant and provocative, then
Notwithstanding the advice Of the
powers in favor of moderation, they
would break off the negotiations; Sec
ond, II Rechad were courteous but
the new concessions were unimportant
they would suspend the conference;
third, II Reehad made important con.
cessions without absolutely conceding
the allies demands. they would ad-
Johrn the sitting until Friday in order
to allow time to Consult their fespec-
tive governments.
Expectation was intense when the
Serviar delegate, Stojan Novakovitch,
opened the session. Rechad Pasha,
before reading his statement, made q
brief speech. He said Turkey was
prepared to give further proof of her
conciliatory spirit and desire to avoid

HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATION.
Plans Made for Annual Meet i'm Co
Iumbia April "a and 25-Oratory
and Athletics.

K. G. Burts, president Of the Inter
High School Athletic and Oratorical
Association Of South Carolina an
nounced today that the constitution
and bylaws have been printed and
a'e now ready for distribution. This
association was organized last spring
IN Columbia and is now composed of
twelve or fifteen Of the leading High
Schools Of the state. Il rs probable
that at least twice mat number will
enter before the next annual con-
test.
ANY High School in South Carolina
having two or more High School
gears is eligible for membership in
the association. Each school upon
joining the association pays a matri.
culation fee u s2:5e and each stu
d1nt who enters any 8RnGaI meet is
! cha, ged an entrance fee of so cents,
No student who is over twenty veafs
Of age can enter and he must also
make the required average for pro-
motion in his school in order to enter
Each school sends five men to the
track meet and one to enter the ora
torical contest. In the oratoricaI con-
test declamations will be used for the
present, which must not exceed IL
minutes in length.
The first Oratorical contest will he
held in Columbia Thursday evening
April "a and the track meet will be
held the following day, Friday, on
Davis field, University Of South Caro-
lima.
This organization will no doubt do
a great deal to stimulate interest in
athletics and oratory in the high
schools of the State and to bring them
into closer relation. The fact that a
beautiful trophy cup is offered the
school winning the track meet and
medals offered for each event will
create strong friendly rivalry be-
tween the schools.

One model has the back, which is

wide buttoning over the front, which is
double breasted, fastening straight down
one side from the shoulder with buttons

across the shoulders lends emphasis to
the box effect.
In coarse lace or in plain satin. With
different color satin or embroidered

they are gathered into deep cuffs. The
