 IN WILD PANIC I5,OOO Ottomans Killed and 10000 Taken
 Prisoners
BuIgaTS Continue Fierce Fight. ing Around GaIIlOpOIi
 Peninsula

Sofia, Feb. 8.-A statement by the war office, today, de@ared that 15,OOo Turks have been killed by the Bull garians in the Gallipoli fighting, and 1000 taken prisoners.
 The Turkish army in the peninsula, early today, was retreating in a panic the widest Nconfusion prevailing all along the line. Bulgarian cavalry was in pursuit of the Turks and many were cut down as they ran.
 London, Feb. s.-Fierce fighting continued, today, in the peninsula of Ga1lipoh and the bombardment of Adianop1e was uninterrupted. That was about the extent of the reliable the seat of war. Despatches from Sofia reported tremendous losses by the. Turks in Gallipoli with an effec- tual drubbing for the Ottomans ad- ninistered by the Bulgarians In Con- stantinople official statements admit ted that the Ottomans in Gallipoli were in retreat but mtnimized the re- pots of Turkish casualties.
 As far as could be learned, the can nonading of Adrianople was without serious damage to the town and the fall of the holy city was no nearer ac- com mplishment than when the war was resumed, last Monday night. Less than 100 men have been killed, 80 houses destroyed by fire and one mosque damaged.
 Tie only interesting bit of war news came from the island of Lennoe, in the Aegean, where 1t was said that Lieut. Maraitmis. a Greek aviator, made daring flight over the Oar danelles in a hydro-aeropIane. The Greek flew fom Lemnos over the staits at an altitude of 1,50O feet and dropped three bombs on Turkish war ships in the Dardanelles. The Turk ish guns returned his fire and when Maraitrnfs saw that they were getting the range he rose to 4,50O feet and re- turned to Lemnos. Constantinople despatches admitted the feat but said the bombs went wild and did no harm. The British Admiralty has decided to send the entire Mediterranean squa drOnS into Turkish waters A re- quest was made to the porte to allow three British warship now at Malta to enter the Dardanelles straits and po- ceed to Constantinop1e. At the foreign office, today, it was Semi-officially stated that the Turkish em basSy said the British request was being consid- cred by the Ottoman rntnisria1 court in ConstantinopIe.

We desire to thank his honor,
Judge VIM. c. Worrill, for his clear
and forceful charge to and co-opera-

commend our able solicitor, Hon. B.
T. Castellow, for the vigorous and
untiring manner in which he has
prosecuted vice and crime in our
county. In making his debut as So

too highly his clear. concise and i'm

his manner of giving justice to the

records of each convict whipped, the
number of lashes, the date and for
what he was whipped. These are
kept according to law.
We also saw the county road en-
CINE standing on the road leading
from Dawson to the county farm with
several hands standing around as
though trying to start the engine to
running We find that the superin-
tendent is very much in need of two
2-horse wagons, and we recommend
that they be bought for the county's
use. We beg to commend Mr. r. W.
Jennings, the superintendent, and his
guards for the. systematic way they
work the convicts, tbs amount Of
work they do and the amount of good
work they have done with so few
convicts Also for the healthy work
ing condition in which the convicts
seem to be and the fine healthy work
ing condition of the mules.
We recommend that the county
commissioners accept sealed bids at
every monthly meeting for the ensu-
ing month for all meats, groceries,
clothes and feedstuffs bought for the
use of convicts and teams, and that
all road and farming utensils and
machinery be bought in an open and
competitive market
Whereas, We have noticed pub
lished that our representative has
given notice that he intends to intro
duce a bill in the coming Legislature
making the county commissioners
elective by popular vote, we desire
to recommend to the general assem-
bly, that it is our unanimous desire
that the law remain as it now is and
that several of the good citizens of
Terrell county have urged members
of. our body to protest against the
enactment of such a law, and we
believe that the sentiment OF large
majority of the people of Terrell
county is for the law 10 stand as it
now is and keep our county commits
sioners' Office out of politics. We
believe our present manner of elect
ing county commissioners to be the
better and safer plan.
We recommend that the sheriff be
restricted to the number of bailiffs
allowed by law in conducting the
City Court.
We recommend that the county
board of commissioners employ for
their body an attorney to advise with
them on all bills and in all legal
matters that may come before them.
We recommend that jurors and bail
ms be paid the same as heretofore.

would recommend that same be dis
posed of to the best advantage. We
find that the Clerk of the court is
badly crowded and in need of more
room for the public records. The
vault which he now occupies is en-
tirely too small, and we recommend
that a larger vault be built according
to the plans which he now has in
hand. We find that the store house
which is occupied by the Lewis Gro
Gerry Co. is in good shape with the
exception of the roof, which leaks
badly, and we would recommend that
the same be repaired.
