With The SolOnS
In Extra Session

Columbia, Oct. 30.-Formel
United States Senator John
Lowndes McLaurin, now serv,
ing as senator from Marlboro,
was tonight elected warehouse
! commissioner. It was an en-
tirely unexpected turn but if
anyone deserved the place it
was Senator McLaurin, who has
for wears fought for a state
warehouse bill. The whole
thing started in the joint assem-
bly, when Representative Cloud
Sapp nominated Senator Nc
Laurin for the position and said
the nomination was made en-.
tirely without the knowledge of
Mr., McLaurin, but he wished to
see the warehouse law a success
and felt no one better fitted for
the honor in view of his fight
for the bill and his abilities.
Senator McLaurin had pre-
viously seconded the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Jas. A. Drake, of
Marlboro, and when his name
was sprung he stated that ne
was committed to the sup
port of Mr.. Drake and ex-
pected to vote and work for
him. In a moment a confer
ence was held and Mr.. Drake
volunteered to withdraw and
Mr. Mcqueen withdrew the
name of Mr.. Drake. The vote
resulted:
Total vote cast 1OS, necessary
to elect 55, John L. McLaurin,
IS; R. I. McDavid, "a; Phillip A.
Hodges, 2S.
The result brought applause
and congratulations for Senator
McLaurin, the real daddy" of
the warehouse, measure. The
position carries a salary of three
thousand dollars and expenses.
Mr.. McLaurin was in no sense
a candidate for the position.
Mr.. Cecil Wvche suggested
the name of Gov. Blease but
withdrew it when Senator Nc
Laurin's name was presented.

London.-The Greek diplomatic rep
resentatives at the capitals of the great
powers have given official notice OF the
decision of the Hellenic government to
reoccupy Epirus, from which the Greek
army was withdrawn in March in pur-

ambassadors conference fixing the

that this decision is based upon the
necessity of re-establishing order and
security in country adjacent to her

price was u cents per pound.
The lowest bid on jute twine
was 10 cents per pound. but as
the cotton cord runs about nine

Turkey Enters into War

ers sank the Russian gunboat Donets
in Odessa harbor, and damaged three
Russian and one French merchant
men.
No official declaration of war has
yet been made, but Turkeys action
seems to make it probable that the
area of the conflict may be greatly wild,
ened. The Balkans present such net
work Of hostile interests that Greece
and the other Balkan nations may be
easily drawn into the vortex.
Greece, it is believed, will likely be
the first state now neutral to throw
her weight against the Ottoman army.
Bulgaria holds remarkable position.
She is bound to Russia by racial ties
and to Great Britain by obligations
for diplomatic support in the last war.
Her interests and sentiments are vio-

Morgan kingston's fine voice was again

Miss Towards costumes and her dra-

singing. but Mr.. Kreiders resonant tones
gave pleasure as Amonasro. Mr.. Szendrei

of the Aida. was nearly as effective as
that Of the September premiere. One OF

ed the manifold pleasures Of a bachelor
life. yearns for a simple, homelike exist
ence.
He marries Andree. an attractive young
widow, but she has an aversion for men
and for what She imagines to be love be-
cause OF the awkward, crude brutality Of
her first husband, savant who was in
capable OF arousing or compromising
true feminine sensibiity. Andree marries
Georget merely for social advantages and
comfort, while Georget at his platonic
wife's bidding. is compelled, much
against his will, 10 resume his for
mer risky bachelor existence; but
when Georset is about 20 enter into a
liaison with Andfees dearest, closest and,
incidentally. most nirtatious friend the
platonic wife's pride begins to assert it
self, this affordng the entering wedge
for the feelings OF genuine sentiment that.

amusing episodes, finally >unltes the mar

This delicate yet merry marivaudage is
splendidly played by Abel Tarride, by

Her. The young author, Claude Gevel had
an enthusiastic reception.

There was delightful music in a di-
