Nov. 21.—The Ottoman government has rejected the terms offered by the allied .Balkan na tions. Nazim Pasha, the Turkish com mander-in-chief, has been ordered to re sume operations. The Bulgarian terms of peace are impossible, according to the Turkish grand vizier. Kiamil Pasha said: "I received last night in a communi cation through the Russian ambassador to Turkey the terms which the Bul garians suggest for an armistice, as a preliminary to the discussion of terms of peace. The terms are impossible, and unless they are radically altered the war will continue. 'The Bulgarians ask for the surren der of Adrianople. Scutari. Ganona and Tchatalja lines." The only hope of peace, the corre spondent adds, now seems to lie in tile fact that the demands of the allies probably were determined on before the unsuccessful attacks were made by th» Bulgarians on the Tchatalja lines dur ing the first three days of this week. The porte, finding the conditions for an armistice* tnaccepta ble. has ordered Nazim Pasha to re sume military cperations. In an attack on the Turkish cruiser Ilamldieh In the Black sea this morn ing two Bulgarian torpedo boats are asserted to have been sunk and two other torpedo boats badly battered. The Ha midi eh is said to have escaped practically without damage. Terms Offered by Allies Are Said Not to Be Harsh (Sy Operated Pres*.) VIENNA. Nov. JL—Terms offered to Turkey by the Balkan nations are neither tn form nor in substance un compromising. according to information derived from an authoritative source in Sofia. They even leave the door open to eventual modifications by negotiation, so that it may be assumed Turkey will accept them and a truce will be brought ' about Emperor Francis Joseph. in the ' course of a speech to the Hungarian delegates at a banquet last evening, expressed bis admiration at the way the Bulgarian troops had behaved dur ing the war. On the other hand, how ever. his majesty declared he could not understand why the fortunes of war were so favorable to the Turks. Referring to the dispatches of an Austro-Hungarian consular official to Investigate the situation at Prisrenu. the emperor expressed the hope that the reports published regarding the Servian treatment of the Austro-Hun gerian consul there would prove exag gerated and that the incident would be settled peacefully. The Reichsnost sent instructions to Lieutenant Wagner to proceed to Prls rend. but the Servian government pre vented him from going. While staying at Nish, Lieutenant Wagner reports that he heard well-nigh incredible de tails of the barbarities committed by the Servian troops on the Albanians. A Red Cross doctor with the Servian army told him: ‘The Servians gave him no quarter. All the Albanians, armed or unarmed, as well as the women and children who fell into their hands,, were mercilessly killed. General Stepbanovitch. the Servian commander, had the Albanians captured at Kaalova formed into two rows and shot to death with machine guns, the general saying: ‘"We must extirpate these Austro- Hungarian favorites.* “General Zivkovitch also had 950 Al banian and Turkish notables cut down near Sienltza. After the battle of Kumanovo, numerous wounded Alban ians and Turks were buried with the dead. In the Servian fortress of Nish several Albanian women suspected of throwing bombs at the Servian troops entering Verisovitz were killed by Ser vian soldiers, who battered in their skulls with the butts of rifles."

The cotton crop has proven the shortest here in years, and yet the outlook is not gloomy, most farmers being optimistic. While they did not make a good corn crop, still they sawd an immense amount of hay and cowpeas and are going to have hogs enough to stkpply a lot of meat. But few farmers held their cotton during the picking season, and conse quently did not get the present high i price.

SAVANNAH, Ga.,* 1 Nov. 20.—Prosperi ty is going to be the keynote of the Democratic regime, is the opinion of Hon. William Jennings Bryan, who ar rived in Savannah early Wednesday morning. Mr. Bry m is most optimistic over the recent successes, and talks interestingly of what he believes will come to pass during the next four years. Mr. Brian left the city at 4 o’clock Wednesday afternoon for Waycross, where he speaks Wednesday night He returns Thursday morning and will speak at the Guards' hall "’hursday night While in the city today he was the guest of Colonel Pleasant A. Stovall, editor of the Press. During the morn ing he went automobiling with the Rev. W. Moore Scott, pastor of the First Presbyterian church. Mrs. Bryan is with Colonel Bryan, and 'eaving Savan nah they will go to Miami, Fla., to spend the Winter. VICTORY OVERWHELMING. When asked what effect he thought the Democratic success would have on the country, Colonel Bryan said: "It has already had a wholesome ef fect The panle scare talk brought, out in every campaign to strengthen the Republican pai t; is already shown to haw been a iruufi. The Democratic victory is overwhelming. We have’ the president and the control of the senate ar.d the house of representatives, and can carry out all Democratic policies. “There is not the slightest evidence of nervousness among the business men. This shows that the designs of the de signing were frustrated, apd the fears of the fearful without foundation.” Replying to the question of whether he thought the downward revision of the tariff would affect the prices of food stuffs in such a material manner that the so-called “common people” would benefit by it, Coionel Bryan stated: * DISCUSSES TARIFF. “The lowering of the tariff wlil af fect the prices of those things which the tariff has raised. You have to dis tinguish in considering prices between tire world’s price level and the level of prices in this country. A reduction of the tariff will not mater ially affect the prices fixed by the world's price level, but a reduction of the tariff will reduce prices that have been abnormally in creased by import duties. “Tire question of what ocher impor tant legislation would faoe the Demo cratic congress soon after it started to work received a quick answer from Colonel Bryan: “There are two other subjects which will receive early attention,” he stated, “the trusts and the currency questions, the legislation of the trust question will have for its objects the prevention of private monopoly. “Governor Wilson stated hfs posi tion on- the subject in, nearly every speech. .His purpose it to restore com petition and he correctly interprets the party’s position on the subject.” CURRENCY QUESTION. • In dealing with the currency ques tion the party will no doubt be gov erned by the plank tn the platform. That is opposition to the establishment of a central bunk of advoctaing such a systematic revision of the banking laws as will render tetrtporary relief in lo calities where such relief is needed. “With protection from the control and domination of what is known as the money trust. I am convinced that the bulk of the talk is in favor or a cur rency revision is the outcome of a de sire to increase the control that Wall street now has over our finances. “The enthusiasm is likely to sub side when a plan is proposed which gives relief to the public and at the same time furnished protection against the money trust.” DELAYED BY WRECK. Mr. Bryan was due to arrive in Savan nah yesterday morning, but be was de layed owing to a wreck. Speaking cf the cause of the delay he said: “’/he wreck occurred just above Raleigh, and it was the train that we were to have taken. The wreck was a most distressing affair. “A number of trainmen were killed, and one engineer. Mr. C. A. Ueckham. Just before Mr. Beckham went on the run he called on our party and brought some tomatoes to us. He was a very genial inan and an enthusiastic Demo crat. It is hard to realize that he is one o fthe victims of the wreck. “The sudden death of one whom we know brings to us a vivid realization of the uncertainties of life.

Aged Couple Traveled . Miles Every Month to Plead for Son's Pardon With the announcement Thursday morning that Governor Brown had paroled. James Bruce, a convict serving a four-year term in the Rockdaje coun ' ty camp for robbery, comes to - light a story Involving the unswerving loyalty and devotion of an aged and illiterate mountaineer couple for their erriqg eon. Bruce, who is about thirty years old and married, lived near his parents in the mountains of Pickens county. About two and a half years ago he was convicted of robbery. The story told to j the jury by the young mountaineer and ' to which he has stuck ever since was ' that he'and two companions gave a man some money with which to get them I some whisky. The man produced some whisky, but not the quantity named in the purchase. A demand was made upon him for the full amount of liquor or a return of the money. When the liquor vendor refused to comply with the demand Bruce and his companions seized him and by force took from him the money which they had previously paid for the liquor. During the two and a half years the young man has been on the chain gang his parents have made regular monthly trips to Atlanta to plead with the prison commission in his behalf. They are very poor people and when they could 1 not get sufficient money for the rail road fare the old father, John Bruce, would put his wife upon the train and ; walk the seventy miles from his home in Pickens county to Atlanta. The old couple always brought their food sup plies with them. While in Atlanta they would haunt the offices of the prison commission beg ging that their boy be returned to them. One day last week Chairman R. E. Da vidson received a poorly scrawled post ' card from the father on which he wrote that longing for his son was causing him much suffering. He declared the days passed too slowly and concluded by asking that his boy be sent home in time to eat Thpfiksgiving dinner with his parents. / The long-deferred hope of the old cou ple has at last been realized arid on Thursday afternoon Janies Bruc j will leave the Rockdale camp for I’ickeos county.

Train Will Only Accommodate The Journal’s Immediate Party Through their officers several ama teur bands in Georgia towns and cities have volunteered to The Journal their services for the great inauguration trip which this paper is to give 125 south ern school and college boys. Imbued with the enthusiasm aroused by The Journal’s inauguration campaign, these bands have offered to furnish music for the occasion free of all charge. Although appreciating to the fullest the gracious offer of the young Geor gians composing these musical organi zations, The Journal has found it im possible to avail Itself of any of them. All of the accommodations afforded by ttie special six-car Pullman train which The Journal will charter to carry its school and college boy guests to Wash ington and to bring them back to At lanta will be required by the members of the party and the representatives of The Journal who will accompany them. There are other reasons why the kindly offers of the bands cannot be accepted. The Journal would not care to discriminate in favor of either one of them, and then, too, the eager school M'CaMBS AND UDAMSON : EN JIOUT'E TO Mil •• Will Arrive Friday or Saturday After Hunting Trip in South Carolina Letters to Atlanta friends from Rob ert Adamson, private secretary to May or Gaynor, of New York, but formerly of Atlanta, state that he and William F.

Mrs. William McCarthy, president gs the At lanta chapter. Daughters of the Confed eracy, will present the emblems to the veterans, and Judge Harry M. Reid will deliver an address on the subject, ‘The Southern Cross of Honor.” and college boys will be so busy wit nessing the inauguration of President Woodrow Wilson and viewing the sights in dnd around Washington that they will have precious little time to devote to band concerts. Wednesday two more newspapers, one of them located in a thriving South Carolina city, petitioned The Journal th include in its inauguration party cer tain young to be selected by these papers in Inauguration campaigns sim ilar to that of The Journal. They wrote enthusiastically of Tbe j Journal’s enterprise in arranging to take so many southern school and col lege boys to Washington, and stated their willingness to stand any expense necessitated by additional accommoda tions for the young men to be desig nated by them. “The Journal has mapped out a won derfully comprehensive plan for the en tertainment and education of the mem bers of its party,” wrote one of these newspapers, "and we would feel exceed ingly fortunate in being able to put our young men under the chaperonage of The Journal on ri»*s occasion.” The petitions of these newspapers, like similar ones previously received, had to be declined. It is necessary that The Journal’s party be limited, and it will be quite impossible for this paper to assume responsibility for the care, comfort and entertainment of any besides the members of its party, as contemplated in the. original plan.
