He has forseen the clash for a long time. The four great continen tal powers have been straining every uerve to see how large an army they could raise and equip. They had these armies and, like a boy with a plaything, they wanted to use them. That ls his ideu about it. Sir Hiram talks interestingly of the participants Austria has a very large army, but the Austrians will have all they can du und a greut deal more to keep the Russians out of their own country, to xuy nothing of keeping them out of Germar It will be neeemary for Germany to send a large force to the East to aid Aubtrla, and in all probability the al liance will not last a great deal lon ger than the war. The Kin:li; h army, lt is true, isn't very large, but England can certainly send 200.000 men to the /ront. Little Belgium can send a like number. If England is pressed she eau senjl fully 600,000 men to the front. The Eng lish ure very good, stubborn fighters, and. as the matter stands I don't think the Germuus have much chance. If I waa to look ut lt from u purely mathematica! standpoint, I should say the chances against Germany ure ful ly 10 to 1. Nothing but u very unfortunate mis take on the purt of the English aid French will enable the Germans to reach Paris. This 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, naid battles were won by quick marches. There.are no better sea lighters in the world than the En glish. If they had to deal with Ger many alone there would be little chance but that the German fleet would be wiped off the sea, but when you consider the French and Russian fleets are added. 1 should say the Gormans don't stand one chance in a hundred. / Money is the great factor in the war. Leaving the United Stuten out of the question, England is the rich est country in the world. France ia second, Russia third, and Germany fourth. France is extremely rich; her peo ple are qyite a? patriotic as any. The war of I860, botween Russia and Aus tria lusted only six weeks. TBL POTATO The people of this state should raise more of things to eat Then such a cataclysm aa war would not alarm. There ls a certain good far mer in Anderson county who brings , eggs and butter to town every week. He baa enough meat ahead In his smokehouse and bis bins to last him a year. He ls not dependent upon cotton. There is a staple article of diet in this country which should be more ex tern- ively produced In the south-po tatoes. The potato ls always In sea con, ls edible In a number of ways and always commands a big price on Northern marketa. Tho . South Carolina . Irish potato contains 10,000 acres this year and the total production will be approximate ly 658,000 bushels, according to the estimate* made by the United States Crop Reporting Bureau.) The con* ditton of the crop is 66 per cent of normal and the price at the present ??nie is af ?faging around $i.iS per bushel. In continental United States there aro 3,708,000 aerea planted to this product and this year's production ls estimated at 360,614,000 bushels by the federal department of PSI ?culture. This year's crop will exceed the ave rage year's by approximately 4,000.000 bushels. The nation's production last year -wi.s 331,626,000 bushels, was produced on 3.668,000 acres of land and sold for ?x2'L?D3,000. or an aver age of 94) cents per tuishel. The potato is not easily kept, but if farmers should prepare for the crop and prepare for marketing it-they would find lt > big money ;,?.'?r?os'.tion. SKVI TUE3E REPRESENTATION Our principal regret about the leg islative ticket ls that a bona fide mill worker was net sent to Columbia. W. H. Godfrey nnrt W. I. Mah life y have, worked at the loom. They re ceived handsome complimentary votes and may come again. The mill work ers should be represented in the leg tala;ure. by at least one ot th dr number. We believe) ut all classes being rep resented in .tho legislature. There are now three farmers on ofr delega tion and a lawyer or two might be ot use. lt wus a bia; Job and tho assistance of th? re friends waa a .predated. The greatest hurt to the farmer ls hie suspicion of other people. This has been i in tilled into him by hard tunes, hard knocks and then the dem agogue. DISEASE TS. BULLETS In the 12 bloodiest buttles of the Civil war there were III 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 ail these battles was less than 1.000.000. It would appear, therefore, that if those two unparallel ed armies now facing eaeh other in Europe ?hall light us tenaciously U3 the Americans fought, the casualties on each side should reach 140,000. But lt ueems highly doubtful if 1,000.000 soldiers will ever be sent into action on one day by either com mander Armies of uch magnitude reach across scores of miles of terri tory. Oflieial reports show that dui\ng the entire Civil War 67,000 Union Loldl^rs were killed in battle and 43,000 more died of their wounds, muking a total of 110,000. But during those four years 199,000 I'II ii in soldiers died of disease. We shall see if the medical science can now prevent disease from killing more soldiers than bullet and sabre.
