"No harder fight could have

affairs of the State fought Blease.
Senator Tilman, whose wish
once had been law, so far as the
voters of this State were concern

appeal for the defeat Of
BIease, saying his re. election
would be a disgrace. Thousands
of Carollnians, who had not vot

polls in an effort to defeat the
governor, and 10000 more ballots
we're cast than had ever before
been polled, yet BIease was re

Tillman wrote private letters
to Ferguson, in Spartanburg,
saying Blease 'has brains to eni-
mently qualify him for governor, "
but complete letter is severe ar
raignment of Blease and Abney.

complimentary words, but other
concealed. Blease knows con-
tents of letter and is sure to
strike Tlllman with full force of
his organization on TUESDAY. If
whole letter were published, Till

would counteract losses sure to

Without letting Tillman know

States to further programs of the powers with respect to China
 The policy of the United States has been but partially announced this government thus fai having given ex- pression merely to it's aversion to the idea of interfering with China's inter- nal affairs That a pronouncement soon might be made by President Wilson setting forth the hopes of this government for share in the com merce of the new republic through what it believes more legitimate means, is hinted at in official circles.
 Of especial significance at this time is the definite statement that Presi- dent Wilson is earnestly seeking John K. Mott, one of the prominent inter national secretaries of the Y. M. C. A.. to take the post of minister to China. It is suggested in official cir cles that the administration recognizes the influence which American mls- sions and religious institutions have had in the regeneration of China and believes Mr. Mott could be an impor- tant factor in the harmonious dis charge of the best views of the mis- sion world with respect to China and the Washington administration as well.
 With the acceptance by Mir. Mott and perhaps supplementary state ment on the American attitude toward securing trade development In the orient it is believed the climax of the Chinese situation will be the formal recognition by this government of the Chinese republic.

SUBMIT PROBABLE BASIS OF SETTLEMENT FOR THE AL

ALL QUESTIONS TREATED
In Addition to Terms of Settlement Explanations Are Demanded in Case Many Alleged Bar
 barrie Practicese.

London, March 22.--Deyelopments of the last week appear to make the conclusion of the Balkan war mat ter of only few days Turkey, hav- ing no hopes of obtaining more money has entrusted her interests to the good offices of the powers and the allies have accepted the pow CTS offer of mediation.
 Representatives of the powers at Sofia today handed the Bulgarian premier their scheme, embodying bas- es for mediation. Their plans includes two provisions to which the allies likely will object. The demand for indemnity is vetoed and the powers stipulate that hostilities must cease when their proposals are accepted
 1t appears improbable. however, that the allies will refuse to settle on the terms now offered The war has come practically to deadlock Fighting at the Tchatalja lines has been indecisive. Adrianapole, which tae Bulgarians proposed to reduce the submission in few days, seems to be holding out as strongly as ev- CT after a five months siege and q. wireless message from there today declares that the Turkish command CT has no thought of sur7endering.
 Austria has sent secoud note to the Montenegrins, requiring that the bombardment of Scutari be confined to the forts and giving one week for King icholas to comply with her other demands Russia is not blocking .& Austrian policy and as sthe powers have agreed that Montenegro shall not keep Scutari even if she conquers the garrison, but that that city shall be incorporated in the new Albanian state, King Nicholas seems to have no alternative but to make virtue of necessity
 If the allies attempt to withstand the mandate of Europe they might prove to be hornets nest. but the weak point in their armor is that their finances are almostAas near to an end as Turkeys.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S STAND ON LOAN WILL NOT PREVENT IN

ENTERPRISES ARE PLANNED
United States Capitalists Confer With President Regarding Financial End of Enterprise in the
 FIowery Kingdom.

Washington, March 22--4President Wilson's recent statement withdraw ing the aid of this government from what was popularly known as the six power loan" does not mean the re- tirement of the United States from participation in far eastern diplomacy.
 The president today talked about China informally with some of his callers, among them George Broson Req, technical secretary of the rail way commission empowered by the Chinese provisional government to construct 10000 miles of trunk. rail ways in China.
 Mr Req explained to the president that without the aid of the United States government American capital had been enlisted in the railway en- terprise but that it was desirable to know how far the United States would go in protecting what MT. Rea termed honorable contracts between Ameri- can business men and the Chinese gov ernment" independent Of political con nection.
 The president asked Ms. Rea to prepare and submit to him a memo randum and promised to study the question very carefully. Mir. Req pointed out that the objectional fea- lures of the six power loan project, to which China herself had objected, were those which concerned the in ternational administration of China 1, Xot Sen and the Chinese republic were such that he knew the action of Pres ident Wilson had met with the ap- proval of China.
 Mir Wilson indicated that the de- velopment of the administration poi icy toward China would he guarded and we'll measured That there was no intention of withdrawing the poten tial influence for protection which this government has exerted in respect of China and that the Wilson admins tratlon would make a vigorous effort to promote American trade interests in the orient was the impression gath cred by some of the presidents call CTS.
 The presidents viewpoint, it was said, was that the United States would be in far better position to help pre- serve ~hina's integrity by remaining outside of any particular agreements which might have for their object a voice in China's political future than by actual participation.
 The Wilson administration thinks it can curry more favor with China and
  be of more actual service as disin- terested friend than ss an ambitious partner in any loan agreement which by it's terms might bind the United

 T think it is question of resist ance. If a girl is trained properi until she is sixteen years old, l think she will experience very little diff culty afterwards. Very few girls go wrong because they want fine clothes. It is because they are pur- sued and can't resist.
