THE WORLD A WAIL The whole world Is In martial array. The armed campB will soon be ull abristling with 20,000' ) buyonets. Just what this mcanB cannot be easily understood. It staggers the imagina tion. In all of the four years of the war the Confederacy had 600,000 men on her muster roll h and the United States mustered 2,000,000 in those yearn. What a handful compared with the myriads to be t. i Muled In thiB great conflict. With iue ierribie englneB of de struction now in use, this war will be short, and bloody. The whole world will suffor. Finance, commerce, agri culture, the noble arts?all will got a backset. .For three years or more this conflict' lias been predicted?and now that it.has come its very stupendous ness'mak?s it appear unreal.

What la .the use of faction ni ism uny way? Wo believe that many peoplo are almost fanatical in their devo tion to the governor, hut will reserve the right to \ >te for whom elso they Please. And there are others who do not favor the governor who will vote for his friends for the minor offices. The Sole issue in an election is to get the beat men for the positions, and with factions, slates and cliques, this cannot be done.

H'AMK AMI <;i:iOIANY In isot; Napoleon Bonaparte passed In triumph into the Prussian ell y <>t Merlin, visiting liic inusob inn of Fred erick Hie Great, who died in 1740 Na poleon exclaimed, "If In; were alive, I would not be here lodiiy." Thin was was tho hour ol Germany's humili?t ion. following ( . battle of Jena. The heautifiil ijtieen Louise soon died with a broken heart, lor her consort, King h'redcrlck William ill was obliged to give up one half of his kingdom, t<i pay a war indemnify of ?200,00(1.000, (Hid to recognize the new King loins which Napoleon *< ( up. The hing and (plcon gave up their private fortune io pay ihr na I ion's debt. At Jena and ul Auerslailf, Hie same lay the Prussians losi 50,000 killed, wounded and prisoners, while Napo leon gave his losses at 7.000. Freder ick William III did not cure for war. lie was a cummerclalisl and engaged In war only when forced to do so by Napolcoon's repeated insults. In 1813 Napoleon's army was dec imated by the rigors of the campaign against Moscow and defeated al Lcip sic in "the battle of the nations," in which was opposed by Schwarzen burg of Austria, Bernadottc of Swe den and Bluchcr of Prussia. To the latter belonged the credit of victory. And at Waterloo Itulow wiped out the insults and the shame of Lejpsir and Llguy and tho French were driven back Into France. The uttng of this clefeut has lasted. The proud nut Ion of France was torn with Infernal dis sensions. After Napoleon had been sent to St. Helena, the Bourbon fam ily endeavored ngain to reign, but made stielt u confusion of it Hint Louis Napolon, after being elected head of the new republic proclaimed himself emperor In 18">2. He had a success ful reign, building up tho wasted re public which had been war worn for 70 years. But In 1870 he saw his po litical fortunes beginning to wane, and In order to strengthen himself at home sturted u war with Bruasiu. His pretext for war was flimsy, and he played right into the bands of William, the King of Bruasia and Bon of the beautiful Queen Louisa, who had died of a broken heart when be was a lad. The Franco-Prussian wur revealed tho solidity of the German Empire and tho hollowness of France. Within two weeks of the declaration of war, tht flower of tho army of France was crumpled, Alsace and Lorraine were occupied by the Ger mans and In a few days more the Prussian King hud taken up his mil itary quarters'in the splendid French royal palace at Versailles. ' 1.. ,lv And that explains the hostility of France and Germany. Napoleon was too brutal in his conquests. Franco han never relished giving up Alsace Lorraine, which is a rich fertile pro vince 125 miles long and averaging 50 miles wide?with a population of nearly 2,000.000. That is one reason of the hatred be tween the two countries. These pro vinces wore originally German, from the 10th century up to 1G48 when Louis XIV seized Strauaburg In time of peace, and those,, states remained French territory until 1871. It was Bismark, the iron chancellor, who took Prussia and made the Ger man Empire. William was the emper or, von Moltko, the field marshal, but Bismark was the warrior and states man of this great triumvirate which took the vanquished Gorman slates and welded them into the great and sturdy German Empire. Bismark was cunning and cruel, relentless and re vengeful, ambitious and warlike. But he made Germany what It hUB been for tho last two gonerntlons. The present Kaiser Is the grandson of the great emperor whom Bismark aorvod.? Ho too la ambitious and aggressive and his building of nn Immense navy is what has annoyed and worried Eng land and has caused the nation to put forth every effort to strengthen her own navy in order to protect the "En glish Lake" as the Mediterranean la known. PURGE THE ROLLS Our attention has been called to the fact that there were some errors In tho tabulated statement of the total number of names enrolled in Ander son county primary. Tho table as printed was made up hurriedly and is not official. For instance the total given for Bclton was 445 when It should have 342. ' There Ib some rumor to tho clfcct that some of 'he club rolls luvo been padded; that certain portons have ad vised now comers to put their names oh tho rolls and <c put on the xecu tlvo committee the responsibility of detecting ths error. We know n.th Ing of tho. accuracy r?r the report, but it has been currency for several days. We believe that tho people ot Ander son will demand an honest election and an'honest-count and we urge tho committee Monday: to appoint a sub committee to Inspect every name on every roll and to purge :.ho roll of all duplications and of nil outsiders.

But now the trnglc death of the heir ap parent hns put In Austria's hands nn excuse no powerful that she dures to use it as a weapon. Stand by Their Ally. In the present situation, as In every flareup in the Bnlkuus. the importance lies not so much in tho countries' in volved as In the probability of the en tanglement of other nations and tho possibility therefrom of that dread bo gey, n general European war. Monte negro has already announced that her fortunes nre cast with Scrvla. Servia also, by reason of the understanding sho has with Greece and Roumnnln. might hope for. support from them. Germany and Italy have declared their intention of standing by their ally. Aus tria, though no one really believes thnt their Intention is to do more tbnn to keep other tuitions off and so leave Austria a clear field. Bulgaria, while clnlming to remain neutral, would certainly be glad if she could snatch the chnnco to revenge her self for her defeat by Servia In the sec ond Balkan war. But more important than any of these is the attitude or Russia, of which nothing as yet hns been said. With Russia interfering as the chief protector of the Slav people Germany and Ittdy could hardly avoid being actively involved. Without this Interference Austrln ' can almost cer tainly hope for a clear ring. Protector of the Slav. Russia aspires to be the protector of the Slav people' and while she hns hitherto failed to play thnt role with any great degree of glory she still clings to it It was to her that Scrvla looked for assistance when shq saw. Bosnia and Herzegovina slip finally through her fingers. Russia wan eager and willing to respond, but wns In no condition to do so. She was still pros trated from the Japanese war and at the first hint that her Interference In behalf of Servia would be met by Ger many coming to tho aid of Austria she . could do nothing hut maintain o neu tral attitude. But Russia now is In n different posi tion nnd Is eager for an opportunity to . rehabilitate her military ' reputation. She has h new army, newly organized, I and wcv.h? rfst be averse to engaging In e war that Would have a stronger ap peal to the spirit Of lier people than did her 111 fated adventure in the cast.

"The very perfection of the modern ma chinery of credit?, by building higher the fabric and insuring against its re duction has enhacde the disaster mode possible by the collapse.
