A SHOUT WA Ut SAYS MAXIM j
Sir Hiram Maxim, the famous gun'
Inventor, believe* it will bu a abort J
war. lie hau forseen the clash for a
long time. The four great continen
tal powers have bpen straining every
nerve to see how large an army they
could raise and equip. They had
these armies and, like a boy with a
plaything, they wauted to use them.
That is his idea about it.
Sir Hiram talk? interestingly of the
participant.". Austria has a very larg?
army, hut the Auslrians will have all
they can do and a great deal more
to keep the Russians out of their own
country, to say nothing of keeping
them out of German.
It will be necessary for Germany to
send a large force to the Kast to aid
Austria, und in all probability the al
liance will not last a great deul lon
ger than the war.
The English army, It Is true, isn't
very lurge, but England can certainly
aend 200,000 men to the front. Little
Belgium can send a like number. If
England la pressed she can senfJ fully
600,000 men to the front. The Eng
lish are very good, stubborn lighters,
and, as the matter stands I don't
think the Germans have much chance.
If I was to look at it from a purely
mathematical standpoint, I should suy
the chances against Germany are ful
ly 10 to 1.
Nothing but a very unfortunate mis
take on the part of the English add
French will enablu the Germans to
reach Paris.
ThiB particular war Is not like the
war In South Africa or any other un
civilized country. Troops can and
will be moved with great rapidity.
Napoleon Bald battles were won by
quick marches. There, are no better
s?a fighters In the world than the En
glish. If they had to >al with Ger
many alone there would be little
chance but that the German fleet
would be wiped off the sea. but. whnn
you consider the French and Russian
fleets are added, I should say the
Germans don't stand one chance in a
hundred.
Money Ib the great factor in the
war. Leaving the United State h out
of the question, England Is the rich
est country in tho world, France is
second, Russia third, and Germany
fourth.
France ig extremoly rich; her peo
ple are quite as patriotic us ariy. The
war of 1860 between-Russia and Aus
tria lasted only six wcelts.
THE POTATO
The people of this state should
raise more of things to eat. Then
such a cataclysm as war would not
alarm. There is a certain good far
mer in Anderson county who brings
eggs and butter to town every week..
He has enough meat ahead in his
smokehouse and his bins to lost him
a year. He is not dependent upon
cotton.
There is a staple article of diet in
this country which should be more ex
tensively produceJ in the south?po
tatoes. The potato is always in sea
son, Is edible in a number of ways
and always command! a big price on
Northern markets.
The South Carot'na Irish potato
contains 10,000 acre'i this year and the
total production wfll be approximate
ly 666,000 bushels, according to the
estimates made by the United States
Crop Reporting Bureau. The con
dition of the crop Ib 66 per cent of
normal and the price at the present
time Is averaging around $1.18 per
bushel.
In continental United States there
are 3.708.000 acres planted to this
product and this year's production is
estimated at 360.614,000 bushels by the
federal department of agriculture.
This year'B crop will exceed the ave
rage year's by approximately 4,000.000
bushels. The nation's production
last year was 331.525.000 bushels, was
produced on 3.668,000 acres of land
and sold for $227,903,000, or an aver
age of 90 cents per bushel.
The potato Is not easily kept, but it
farmers should prepare for the crop
and prepare for marketing it?they
would find It a big money proposition.

SfiOgt*, s
DISK ASK v? BI LLETS
In the 12 bloodiest lj.it11. .s oi the
Civil war there were in round num
bers 23,000 killed outright and 119,
000 wounded on the Union side This
does not Include prisoners.
The aggregate number of men en
gaged in all these battles was less
than 1.000,000. It would appear,
therefore, that if those two unparallel
ed armies now facing each other in
Europe shall fight as tenaciously as
the Americans fought, the casualties
ion each side should reach 140.000.
Hut it seems highly doubtful if
1,000,000 soldiers will ever be Hent
into action on one day by either com
mander Armies of such magnitude
reach across scores of miles of terri
tory .
Official reports show thut duilng the
entlr* Civil War 07,000 Union soldiers
were killed in battle and 43,000 more
died of their wounds, waking a totul
of 110,000.
But during those four years 199.000
Union soldiers died of disease. We
shall see if the medical science can
now prevent disease from killing
more soldiers than bullet aud sabre.

?Confers Honor on Kaiser
(By Associated Press.)
Lcndon, Aug. 29.?According to
Berlin official dispatches received by
Marconi wireless. the Austrian em
peror, in a telegram to the Emperor
of Germany says:
The splendid victories gained by
the German army under your com
mand over your powerful enemies]
[are due to your, iron will. You have1
sharpened and swung the mighty
sword. To the laurels which adorn
you as victor I should like to add the
highest military honors which are in I
my power to confer by asking you to
accept the grand Cross of Maria The
resa .
"Knowing how highly > .u and your!
arm:, value the achievements of Gen-]
eral vo:i Moltke, 1 bestow upon him
the commander's cross of the Mariai
Theresa order."
The German Emperor has bestow
ed on the Austrian Rmperor the order I
"Pour Lemerlte" und upon General j
Baron Conrad Hutzendorf the Iron
Cross of the first and second class.
Leaders of the German army protest |
against the uews circulated abroad
regarding the cruelty practiced in the
field, says another Berlin official dls
I patch which adds:
I "The German troops are occasional
ly obliged to adopt measures when
provoked by treacherous attacks by !
the civil population and atrocities ]
committed against their wounded.
' Resposlbilities for tho rigors of our
warfare lies solely with the authorl
l tieB of the ocupled territory who have
distributed arms among the civilians
and have Incited them to take part
in the war. Whenever the popula
tion was not hostile toward our troops
harm is not done either to property or
persons. The German soldier is
neither an incendiary nor a pillager
and fights only against a hostile ar
