With Thomas A. Edison heudlng a naval udv^socy. I^<ijir<l of the country's foremost engineers and Inventora, there need bp no moro doubt of thc proper development of the United States navy. The whole nation han confidence in Mr. Edison, who by com mon consent is admitted to be th* greatest llvi.-ig American. It bas ail the more faith In him because he Ih known as a sincere friend of peace, who bas never before consented to I use his talent for any military pur pose. He I? willing nov/ to place him self ut the disposal of the govern ment because ho recs the wed oi guarding against foreign peril. Ills notion of preparedness, it must I be observed, differs vastly from that of tho professional militarists and Jingoes. Ile advocates no vast arnia mcnt, either i>ij laud on sea. Ile wants j no hig slandiifg^irnry.''devouring the nation's wealth and militarizing its ideals. He wants no great, costly navy "eating -rrs-heed off:"-? we-build many more warships', be would "put them in storage" until they are need d, meanwhile milking sure that there] ro enough trained reservists in tito country-eurning their living as civi lians-to man them If war should | come. Edison's preparedness means prim arily a supply of brilliant, workable J Ideas, and an organization able to j make them quickly effective. With the great inventor^ wjll be as sociated, In all probability, -Charles P. (Steinmetz, chief consulting engi neer of the General,Electric Company, snldt o bo tho highest salaried engi neer In tho country. He is a social ist, and therefore also a pacifist, but I ho ls ontl'nfslnfcli'o'* over the- prospect | of mobilizing men of genius for the nation's service. He IB particularly Ineretste? In devchpplnglW submarine Into what he calls "a submersible cruiser,"^ that Is, a high speed war craft mounting guns and having a wide cruising radius, capable of quick ly submerging for sttaek qr escape, In spite of its size. This Is largely I an electrical problem, and thereforoj In his lino. Mr. Edison's 'assistants, in addition ] to Mr. Steinmetz? are likely to in clude Alexander Graham Bell, inven tor of the telephone; Orville Wright, the. wprld's^greatest authority on the .aereplaner Simon tdiker the ?reatest submarine authority, Lewis Nixon, the naval .construction export; ' Nicola Tesla, the electrical ' wlsard; John Hays Hammond, Jr., who has made marvelous Innovations in the use ot wireless t?*fe^pa^> ?ad- oth?rS not so well known. Tho r'"". Thfnh T1"1"" to nave been due to a mere happy Inspiration on tho part of the secretary of tho | navy, is really so sensible that when I onco presented it seems inevitable. It is n prqmlae of tho time when the boat brains ot *ie nation, in every de partment^ jwill bo applied primarily | to tho ' promotion of tho public wel fare rather than the pursuit of prlvato pYofit, Thero may be less money in it for J?s??lg IttMfigP a^d acientlfic bralns,*%ue^thaflf win bej flur ?more honor, n\l$iheff:conceptt?i j^ubltc j servlce^m? grejrter -satuT " everybody concerned. -THE mm*9tmmmCOWTON "Cotton men all over the South are becoming ^aroused pve? tho, situation brought about ?y Engrand? embargo on. cotton." aald^ a yr$)\ known doalar of Andorson yee^erdajt^ He stated that the outlook* for Sottou prices this fall depends upon tho ability of Amer ican dealers to sell and deliver lt to their customers abroad, or. tn other ?lords, compelling Great Britain to call off her Interference with the rights bf America td trads :. with neutral countries. , v ? It 'ls quite a coincidence' ' that a thought similar that expressed by tht local buyer was voiced by a large cot ton factor of Augusta, aa quoted In the Augusta Chronicle of Saturday morning, the local buyer, of course, not paving seep tbe,arUcle In the Au gusta pipor. ' In quoting tho .Augusta factor iilong the same line as that cov ered by tho An demon deatefr.tbe. Chron icle goes on to give the statement of the Augusta factor la the follow ing language: "But, in a nutshell, my opinion ls that the price of cotton ls going to toe affected less by sentimental ceases the coming season, and mor* by actual causes i or the sentimental depression not so great as last season, tout the actual depression may toe greater.'* That ?bands like common sense to us. The time for' "sentiment** has long since passed. The world has begun to get ?atotsrlngs. Tho law of supply and demand will rule rigidly from'new.r.j.: *n fnc?^ *???j ?t now ; if there ia moro cotton than thor? are' customers; fpi^ lt. Ute prlce wilt con tinue to go down. On the other baud, ?1 /the neutral countries of Europe ?OJ^O*?*^^ beti customers-caa be opened up to our cotton trude, the price will be correspondingly enhanced. It ls evidently, with .something like this in mind that the best-posted cot ton men throughout the country are now beginning to express themselves in bitter opposition to the British em bargo on cotton. As the .first news paper in the South to call uttention to and urge this vitally serious aitua at4on-which we did many months ago; even before Senator Hoke Smith began lils now famous fight in Wash ington-The Chronicle reads with par ticular interest the following Savan nah special, publisher In the Xew York Sun: Savannah, Ga., July 13.-That the South 'is more concerned over tho stoppage of shipments of cotton to neutral countries than over thc tenor of the German note is demonstrated by the action of cotton exchanges all over tho country protesting against further enforcement of the embargo placed by the British government against American coton, and the gov ernment of the l nited States is being strongly urged to take Immediate ac tion to have tho embargo lifted. Unless the embargo is lifted, accord ing to prominent cotton men and ex porters, the chances of getting a fair price for tho coming crop Is exceed ingly slim. The movement of tho next crop will begin within the next HIX weeks, und brokers and factors, as well as pro ducers are unanimous in the statement that vigorous action is necessary on the part of thc government. Senator Hoke Smith long ago fore saw the Impending danger, and lie has protested ever slnco against the action or Great Britain. The cotton situation ls declared to bo or much more con corn to the plantera and dealers in tho commodity in the South than is the quarrel with Germany over her sub marine warfare. Resolutions oT protest . are being adopted by all exchanges and are be ing forwarded to the secretary of state and to southern senators and re presen tat I vos In congress. Members or the Savannah exchange are confi dent that some action will be taken in the near future, but are fearful that such action may be delayed until the new crop is thrown on the market at a loss. YELLOWSTONE HOLD-UPS. * The only'wonder about Ye^lowsfolie* Park hold-ups is that there are not more of them. It is. certainly a tempt ing flo? j for any enterprising bandit. Through the park ?pours ? continuous stream of tenderfoot, all with money In their pockets, and all guaranteed to bq without means of aelf-defense owing to tho fact that the government takes away their guns before they arc Allowed to enter the reservation. Moreover, the place 1.? so wild and un frequented, even near the main trav eled roads, that lt's easy for a robber to get away. The soldiers on duty as park police are, of course, always far from the point chosen tor a hold-up, and some times are not notified for hours after I ward.*... .;,\ ... ?-.-.,. The ordinary park visitor .can't help wondering why 'the drivers) of the chaches and- busses are' not permitted to carry arms to protect their pas sengers. It is the idea of the author ities' ttmriW^'e?hlbnal holdhup ls a good thing, because lt advertises tho park and adds? an attractive blt of "wild west" color for the benefit of adventurouy eastern tourists? THE DIFFERENCE. England had.had no difficulty In raising her big new war loan of. $3, 000,000.000. It we were at war, we'd be able to raise just as much without any trouble. But it either government, tn time of peace, tried to borrow so big a sum tor any great creative and productive undertaking-such aa restoring to the people tM|jsjr?rod?ctlve estates ot the EnglUh nri^ty. or Irrigating .all our western tfejfcrta and controlling and utilising the Mississippi aud Its chief tri^atarles^-what a howl would- go up> from a nation ot indignant tax payers!

"We manufactured some-thing over 1,800 pounds of butter, at Clemson Col lege creamery during the month of June." stated Prof. W. <J. Watkins, who is connected wit.i tile dairy di vision of this institution, to a report er for The Intelligencer yesterday, "and we could have marketed .? great deal more if we .ba^d, j^a/l. U." TJic. t creamery work ls growing by leaps sud bounds, be stated, and it promises to be one of die biggest industries ot tho kind in this section of the state. "Thc creamery route operating out ot Anderson," Prof. Watkins stated, "ls flourishing and contributing-its share of the butter to the output of the col lege crcnniery." The route of An derson extends up into tho Piercetown section. Some time ago a preliminary survey for a second creamery route of Anderson, extending southeast of the city, was made but as yet the work has not been started. Prof. Wat kins stated lt 4s possible this new route will be put into operation in the near future.. -o Swinging a turtle, about the size of a wash basin, by tho tall, a white.boy of the* Rlverslde-Toxaway village strolled down' Main street yesterday .'1th this insect, fish or animal and attracted no little attention. The lad said be caught the turtle with a fish hook in l.ocky River, Just above the crossing of the Piedmont & Northern railway. Tho turtle weighed 10 1-2 pounds and ls about the largest thing of the size that has' boen seen about these parts In some time. The boy was offering the turtle for sale, ask ing 75 cents for lt undressed. There were many onlookers but no one .bad,, bought the turtle when the lad was last seen. o' ' "A good rain Just now would do wonders for the crops and particular ly cotton," said a well .known buyer of the staple yesterday.

The Marquis of Crewe, lord presi dent of the council and liberal leader in the house of lords, made an an nouncement to this effect in the upper house this afternoon. "The Marquis of Crowe's statement .was made In reply to questions by Baron Charnwood, regarding the sup ply ot cotton and other material through neutral countries to Germany, and whether the government had found that the measures taken since March were elfectiive. ?j ., , .The real question, lie thought, was Whether lt was advisable to add 'cot1 ton to the contraband' Ijst,.,so farkas could-tc ascertained, tba Marqiils con tinued, the naval measures taken to prevent fresh supplies of cotton from reaching Germany bad been succes ful.

Oliver, of Knoxville, Tenn., the man who built the Piedmont & Northern Railway's Greeawood Greenjvllle link, his secured a $9.000, ,000, .contract, for the manufacture ot w six-Inch shell for the British army. Oliver Is well known to a number of Anderson people and is the Inventor and manufacturer of thG famous OIN. ver. Chilled Plow, which is used on almost every farm. To clinch tho contract Mr. Oliver had to give a bond which few men in the South could make. The taking on- of thia big job will necessitate the employ ment of some 1,500 skilled mechanics tn addition to the large, force, already at work in his big Knoxville plant. A prominent banker of thc city be lieves that the ".. European .war will come to an end In the near future on account of the financial condition of those cosntries engaged in tho great struggle.
