ATHENS. via Paris. Sept. 13.-An
American citizen of standing IN
Athens has received advices from Con-
stantinople which he says are trust
worthy that the situation OF the Turk.
ish army and government are unfavor-
able. According to information, the
position OF the Turkish forces defend
ing the Dardanelles Is precarious. 1t
is said the Turkish front, thinned by
the heavy losses which the fighting
has entailed on both sides. is finding
It increasingly difficult TO hold the
lines against the French and British.
The Turkish positions at sea are de-
scribed as disadvantageous.
The former German cruisers Goeben
and Breslau. renamed the Sultan Sc
lin and Medullu. are said to have been
incapacitated. while the Russian feet
preys upon Turkish shipping.
Owing to the interruption of sea
transportation, 1t is almost impossible
TO purchase coal in Constantinople
and wood Is being used for locomo.
tives. The crops were good, but IL has
been almost impossible TO harvest
them. Petroleum costs s10O q gallon
and the price OF sugar has increased
seven.fold.
The American informant states that
the agreement said TO have been
reached between Turkey and Bulgaria
has not affected definite settlement
Of relations, but that, to the contrary.
the Turks are hastily erectitE Ge-
fenses against the Bulgarians.
LONDON. Sept. 1S.-Conditions liz
Constantlnople are described as cha.
otic by Reuters correspondent at
Athens. who based his dispatch Gon.
statements made by persons IN Athens
today from the Turkish capital.
The correspondent telegraphed:
THE inhabitants Of Constantinople
are suffering greater hardships than
necessary because the Committee OF
National Defense run by Envcr Pas,.-,
minister OF war, and Talapp Bey, min
lister OF the interior. have cornered all
commodities and are selling them at
high prices. The resignation from the
cabinent OF the Shiek VI Islam, repre-.
sentative OF the Sultan in religious af.
fairs, Is confirmed. He disapproved OF
the determination Of the Christian ele-
ment. against which he protested TO
the cabinet. The Greek Armenian Pa.
triarch has been deprived OF all pow.
ers."

CHINESE PRESIDENT
STRIKES A BLOW

PEKIN, Sept 21.-President Yuan
Shi-kai, in a recent statement, struck
hard blow at nepotism, which is so
thoroughly entrenched in the Far
East because of the devotion to fami-
ly and the belief that caring for rela-
tives is the best means of paying the
proper respect to ancestors. He said:
Il have never allowed my relatives to
enter into government service because
l have strong reasons to believe that
to give government appointments to
them, especially if they have no ex-
perience or proper qualifications
would only serve to convert them into
parasites or dependents. To show ia !.
yor to ones relatives or friends is
purely a personal matter and should
not be done at the country's expense"

.LOYLESS TAKES To
TASK WATSON CHARGE

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 21.-Tom Wat
sons continued charge that Governor
Slaton was connected with the law
firm that represented Leo NJ. Frank
which have been disproven over and
over again here, have vnally drawn
singing response from Editor
Thomas w. Loyless, of the Augusta
Chronicle.
He says, among other things, that
to be consistent, Tom Watson would
have to attack Hugh Dorsey, too, as
the solicitor-g general is connected with
the firm of Dorsey, Brewster, Howell
e Heyman, and as Judge Brewster and
Mr.. Heyman both urged Communication
with all the force in their power.
eff Slaton was Franks attorney be-
cause of that technical connection
with the Rosser firm, why in the name
of all that is fair and consistent WASN'T
Judge Brewster attorney for the pros
ecution'?' Can even Tom Watson's
most purblind followers permit him to
jump squarely over that

FARMERS HERE
PREPARING To
COMBAT WEEv|LS
OTHER CROPS THAN COTTON TO
BE PLANTED.

Farmers coming to Americas today
declared their intention of fighting
the boil weevil upon the intelligent
lines laid down by the state depart
ments of agriculture and diversified
farming, more than ever before, will
be the slogan in Sumter this fall. Mex!
year will witness the planting of still
| greater grain crops.
Sumter county, this year, raised
more corn, oats and wheat than evel
| before in the history Of teh county
Even larger grain crop and les cotton
is the schedule for 1916
An alfalfa field on every farm should
be the slogan.
This is a good sentiment and is
growing rapidly. Special trains are
carrying this message, experts are
preaching it, farmers are talking
about it, agricultural explorers have
gone into the wilds of the Asiatic
world to bring back seed that is
hardy
This shows the interest is growing
and how land values will so up, the
soil fertility be increased and more
live stock raised when this wonderful
crop will be grown on every farm in
the South.
We need more alfalfa. Hardy var
ieties that will grow up to the extreme
limit of agricultural pursuits make
this plant of wide adaptation.
Alfalfa is the only leguminous crop
that will produce such large amount
of seed and feed and at the same time
leave the soil in an improved condi-
ton. It is drought resister, increases
farm values and gives double the yield
of clover.

STRONG SPEECH MADE

Gunby Jordan, prominent capital

talk was along direct and business
like methods for the upbuilding of the
school system.
A large number of citizens, together
