Probability Of a Resumption
Of War

Constantinople, Jan 30.-The Bal
kan allies today gave notice of the
termination of the armistice, the Pc
riod of grace of four days to start at
o'clock this evening. The Turkish
government displays a spirit of COM
promise in it's reply to the note today
handed to it by the European powers
on January IT,
The response was presented today
by Mahmoud Shefket Pasha, the
grand vizier, to Margraye Johann
Won Pallaviccini, dean of the diplo-
matte corps in the Turkish capital.
The porte stipulates for the reten-
ton by Turkey of those quarters OF
the fortress of Adrianople, in which
the holy shrines are situated. 1t pro.
poses to leave in the hands of the
powers the disposal of the land on the
right bank of the Martha river, whicn
runs through Adrianople At
the same time the Ottoman govern
ment consents to the dismantling Of
the Notifications of that city.
In reference to the Turkish Islands
in the Aegean Sea, the document in
sists on the maintenance of Turkish
sovereignty there, owing to the prox.
unity of the islands to the Turkish
mainland, but it intimates the readi
ness of the Ottoman government to
leave the settlement of the insular
regime to the powers.
The reply takes note of the pror1
ises made by the European powers il
their recent joint communication re.
specting the giving of aid in the flu
ture development of the territory Of
the Turkish empire.
The religious and historical ground:
which compel the porte to stand out
for the retention at all events of thai
portion of Adrianople containing tn,
sacred shrines are recapitulated a

SYSTEM OF
SEWERS:IS
NOW READY
PRACTICALLY ALL FINISHED
With Exception Of Church
Street Line

Practically the entire system of
sewers and water extensions of the
city of Americus are now ready to be
put into use. Yesterday marked the
completion of the new systems, which
are wide and extended and include al
sections of the city.
The last branches of the local sewer
and water systems to be completed
were the East Americus and North
Lee street systems, which have been
tested and are ready for connections.
These connections are being made
daily as rapidly as the employees of
the water department can make them
The new branches of the systems are
working admirably, so that the city
is now enjoying the best and most
extended water and sewer systems it
has ever known.
The work as now completed en-
braces more than was originally an
ticipated when the bonds were passed
for this purpose. When it was seen
that the bonds would not include. all
the improvements in the way OF
sewer and water extensions that were
vitality needed, steps were taken to ex-
tend the systems where there was vital
need of them, In this way the ia,
cilities in this particular have been
extended until Americus has sewer and
water extensions over an area that
will permit of much greater growth
of the city in the future
The only part of the work yet to be
completed is on the Church and Spring
street branch of the system, which is
being pushed to completion so rapid
ly that it will be a matter of only a
short time before it is ready to be
added to the system already owned b.
the city The completion of the wate'
and sewer extensions up to date is
such that it gives the city facilities ID
this line that are far superior to the
average city the size of Americus. In
addition the work of this kind in the
future may be carried on by the city
as it is needed without the Intervention
of contractors, if the city so decides
as the experience gained recently is
invaluable in that particular.

SUCH SENTIMENT is NO
SHIELD FOR GEN. SICKLES

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 3O-The fame
of General Daniel Sickles as a sold
ier shouldn't deter New York state
in its efforts to collect the $23,476
unaccounted for by the general as
chairman of the New York Monument
association. This is the view advanced
by Attorney General Carmody in Il
letter mailed today to Mrs Helen D.
Longstreet, of Gainesville, Ga, widow
of the Confederate general. In a tele-
gram to Attorney General Carmody,
Mrs. Longstreet offered to raise
S23, ,476 from the ragged and MANNED
followers of Lee"
Attorney General Carmody's letter
says:
Your sympathetic and patriotic
expressions do justice to your heart,
but they do violence to the facts in
the case. General Sickles is being
prosecuted by the state of New York
for converting to his own use the sum
of $23,476.
This money came into his pos
session as chairman of the state
monuments commission, to be used
among other purposes for the erec-
ton of monuments to mark the resi-
ing places on the field of Gettysburg
of the brave soldiers who fell in de-
fense of their country, and to provide
for a celebration on the field of Get
tysburg in which those living might
participate at the states expense, IN
fitting manner.
General Sickles appropriated this
amount to his own use. This he has
not attempted to justify or defend, ad-
mitting that he took the states money
for private use without authority Of
law, an act which, under our laws, and
under the laws of all civilized govern
ments, means stealing. He was given
his own time to repay this amount,
and that time was extended at his
suggestion, without any desire to en-
barrass him, and with the full appre-
citation of the claim which he has
upon this nation for the great SER
vices he rendered in the rebellion.
"These services cannot be overesti-
mated, but even the fame of the sold
ier must not be used as a cloak of pro-
lection for the commission of crime,
and it is nothing less than misdirect-
ed sympathy to undertake to so con-
fuse the questions involved as to make
an ordinary prosecution for crime
seem like persecution and to elevate

AMERICUS SHOULD Be
TOURIST CENTER ALSO
No Tickets Sold to This
City

A visitor in Americus yesterday, up
on preparing to return to his home in
the central west, discovered that he
would have to make an additional trip
of half a day to Albany in order to
have his return trip ticket validated.
He had bought round trip ticket to
that point, although Americus was his
destination
Why did he purchase a tourist tick
ct to Albany, instead of to Americus
may be asked by some here. The an
swer is that tourist tickets are sold
from all points to Albany, but none to
Americus. Buena Vista also enjoys
the same advantage. Americus is mid
way between Buena Vista and Albany,
both towns upon the Central railway,
but still has no such advantages as
are afforded them.
In the recent past something of an
effort was made towards having Amer
icus designated a tourist or home
seekers point, to which tickets al
reduced rates might be sold from the
West and North. In fact, a promise
was once made that Americus should
be afforded this decided advantage.

UNITARIAN MINISTER TO
BECOME AN UNDERTAKEN
Says He is Averse to Darkening
Houses and Creating Gloom in
Place Where Death Occurs.


San Francisco, Jan. 30.-Rev. Dr..
Bradford Leavitt has resigned his pas
torate of the First Unitarian church of
this city to become an undertaken
Or. Leavitt made this announcement
today, saying that he had been COM
PEELED to abandon the ministry on
account of weakness of the eyes and
that he was entering the undertaking
profession in the hope of "dispelling
tn atmosphere of superstition and
gloom which we have inherited from
the heartless and sometimes heather
methods of the past.
In letter addressed to his congre-
CATION, he explained in detail his rea-
sons for the change.
There is something barbaric in our
methods of dealing with DEATH said
DR.. Leavitt. THE Chinese are far
more civilized in this. am averse to
the darksning of houses and pulling
down of blinds and the general NOR
bid atmosphere that is affected in a
house stricken by death"

SUMTER MAY BE

SUPT. CHRISTIAN MAY GO

To Good Roads Meeting to Be
Held There

Sumter county will, in all probabiI-
ity, be represented at the meeting Of
the good roads school, to be held at
Athens, February 10th to 18th, inclu-
sive, under the supervision of the de-
partment of engineering of the State
University, as the opportunity thus af-
forded for the study of advanced road
building will be most beneficial.
The county commissioners at their
meeting on Monday will consider the
subject and may send Supt. Henry
Christian to Athens to attend the
school of good roads instruction.
Clark county has a system of fine
roads, among the best in the state, and
many of these were planned under the
direction of Prof. Strong, of the state
department of engineering, who is IN
enthusiast upon the subject of good
roads and who devotes his energies to-
wards such development
1t would doubtless be greatly to the
advantage of Sumter county to be
represented at the good roads school
by Supt Christian, as suggested by one
of the commissioners yesterday.
