One of the most interesting matters
still to be decided is the attitude of the
Irish party. Mr.. Redmond now has
perhaps the greatest opportunity he
ever had to secure settlement of the
home rule question. The position of
the new cabinet will not be so Sc
cure in the houss~ns commons as to be
able TO disregard the Irish vote; hence,
the nationalists will have an oppor-
tunity to bargain, of which they are
likely to take full advantage.

gather any connected story of the al

First information concerning the af-

MANY CITIZENS
DISQUALIFIED IF.
ELECTION HELD.

1t has not been decided whether the
law makes it necessary for Captain
John A. Cobb, ordinary of Sumter
county, to call an election Immediately
to elect a sheriff to fill the unexpired
term of the late Quinton w. Fuller.
If it is decided that an election must
be held it will be called for a date af-
ter the primary to lie held in the
spring, so as not to cause any con
ttict in the primary and special elec-
ton.
1t has been stated that should an
election be called for some immediate
date, nearly, if not half, of the citi-
zens of the county would be disquali-
and disfranchised because of their
taxes not being paid If the election
date was placed within a short time
it would bring about much embar-
rassment and inconvenience, disturb
ing the routine of the tax collectors
office, who is now working diligently
on the taxes of the county. It would
be necessary that registration list
be compiled, which would almost be
an impossibility at this particular
time.
Lucius Harvey, deputy sheriff un-
der the late Mr.. Fuller, was appointed
sheriff by Ordinary Cobb to act until
his successor has been elected nd
qualified. Many citizens of the county
have requested, formally and inform
ally, that no election be held, and
Captain Cobb is considering all
phases of the question before an
nouneing his decision.
AS has been stated, the idea of call
ing the special election and the pri-
mary on the same date has been vir-
tdally abandoned because of the possi-
bic confusion and friction which
would arise out of the several officers
to be chosen.

Storm in West.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 1.-THE
severest storm of the current winter
is raging west of the Mississippi rive
today, and moving eastward rapidly.
The first eeffcts of the storm are ex-
pected to reach the Atlantic coast
states during Thursday night, and
Friday decidedly lower temperatures
are anticipated throughout the whole
country. In the Gulf states and along
the Atlantic coast the drop will be de-
cided and severe. Truck gardeners
AID florists throughout the Southern
states, should protect their plants
carefully, and in exposed fruit or
chards much damage will be sus-
tanned.
Temperatures early this morning
ranged from .5S below zero in the Can
adian northwest, where the severest
effect of the storm had manifested it.
self, to zero in the Texas panhandle
section. The cutting winds sweeping
across the Texac plains at noon to-
day were rapidly driving the mercury
downward, with indications that by
night thermometers there may reg
lster as low as 10 below. Cattle feed
ling upon Texas ranches and in other
western states are suffering terribly,
the sudden drop in temperature hay
ing caught thousands of valuable ami
mails miles away from shelter.

Tuesday night. A large amount o.
business was disposed of in the de-
liberations of the body which con-
sumed about two hours.
The likelihood and plans for secur-
Jig money for the city was the fore
most discussion of the night. Several
plans were advanced by members OF
the body, and by agreement of coun-
Cl} all matters wers referred to the f.
nance committee.
A repaired fence, with several minor
additions were ordered at Oak Grove
cemetery upon request of Alderman
Rees Horton, chairman of the ceme-
terry committee. Much work is being
done on the cemetery in an effort to
make it a beautiful portion of the
city.
Several citizens attended the meet
in gin the interest of their concerns

D, Phillips representing S. H. Kress &
Co., requested reduction in their IL
cense, and John Sheffield, of the Shelf
tisld Hardware Co., desired to have

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 12.-Sec-
'etary of State Robert Lansing short
Y before noon today wired General
Venustiano Carranza calling upon him
% promptly punish the bandits who
executed seventeen Americans at San
Ysabel, near Chihuahua City, in north
ern Mexico, monday. The message
was dispatched direct to Mexico City
and delivered personally to General
Carranza.
Through assistance proffered by
Elisea Arredondo, Mexican ambassa-

day completed arrangements for
bringing bodies of the massacre vic

Corpses of the slain Americans will
be transported to Juarez by special

destination before night Juarez is
just across the international line from
Fl Paso, and the bodies will be taken
into Texas soon after reaching that
point.
Ambassador Arredondo, who was in
consultation with Secretary Lansing

informed Washington officials that he
has received confirmation of the exc
cutions from Carranza sources, but at

Report From London.

| LONDON, Jan. Announcement of
the occupation of Mount Lovace, Mon
tenegro, by Austrian forces, is gener.
| ally accepted here today, although not
confirmed from Entente sources. The
uneasiness so freely expressed in Italy
recently is reflected in French and
English papers commenting on the sit.
;uation, as well.
The loss of Mount Lovace is a Sc
| rjous ont from the Entente Allies
viewpoint, owing to the fact that its
summit dominates Cattaro bay, which
is now being used by Austria as ma
val base for Adriatic and Mediterran.
can operations. That the Importance
of this position has long been realized
by the Entente Allies is shown by the
fact that before Italy entered the war
the French military authorities placed
number of heavy guns upon the sum
nit, and prepared emplacements for
heavier rifles, which would have swept
the bay. These have now fallen into
the hands of the Austrians.
In addition to forestalling this dam
ger, Austria by seizing the mountain
has placed Teuton troops in COM
manding position regarding Cettinje,
tie Montenegrin capital, which in di-
rect line lies only six miles away from
Mount Lovce. Heavy calibre guns,
once mounted on the emplacements al
ready prepared by the French would
dominate Cettinje, making its evacua-
tion imperative.
The question now being anxiously
asked is why the Entente Allies failed
to send Montenegro aid long ago, and
in this latest failure is clearly observ-
Ell another military error so visible
throughout the conduct of the war as
seen in land operations of the Entente
Allies. This blunder seems particular
~ true as applied to Italy, which Of all
tile Entente nations will be most Sc
riously affected by Austrian occupa
tion Of Cattaro bay and the surroapa.
