MILLIONS OF LIVES
ONE YEAR'S W?R COST ;
One year ago Monday the Aus- 1
trian archduke, Ferdinand, and s
his wife were shot and killed in <
the little Bosnian town of Sera- i
jevo by Garvio Prinzip. It was <
the act of Frinzip, a poor student, ?
which ultimately resulted in ten
nations going to war. These na- 1
tions are, on one hand, Great 1
Britain, France, Russia. Serbia, <
Japan, Belgium, Italy and Mon- 1
tenegro, and, on the other, Ger- 1
many, Austria and Turkey. The *
war to date, according to conser- <
vative estimates compiled from
the best available reports, has
caused a loss to the various bel- '
ligerents of more than 6,000,000 1
men, dead, wounded and prison- 1
oners, and more than 500 ships. 1
Of these about 120 were war ves- i
sels.
The outstanding results on land 1
are these: 1
Germany has been driven from 1
the Far East. 1
A part of the Dardanelles is in <
the possession of the allied na- 1
tions. 1
Portions of France and Russia 1
are in the possession of German 1
troops. 1
A strip of Alsace has been i
taken from Germany. <
On the continent of Africa <
parts of territorial possessions >
have been lost by host sides. c
Various island possessions of c
Germany have been taken by the ?
forces of the allies. >

The outstanding- results at sea
are these: ?
German and Austrian mercan- 1
tile shipping has been driven I
from all the open seas. German
and Austrian war ves- *
sels having a total displacement /
of approximately 275,000 tons t
have been destroyed. t
War vessels of the allied na- f
tions having a total displacement t
of approximately 102.000 tons /
have been sent to the.bottom. *
The greater portions of the al- /
lied and German fleets in the *
North Sea remain intact. t
Except for communication sent *
through Holland and the Scandi- f
navian nations, Germany is cut f
off from the rest of the world. *

MATTERS OF INTEREST
FROM OVER THE COUNTY j
(Yorkville Enquirer.)
Mr. J. S. Jones, carrier on
Yorkville No. 5. reports that Mr.
J. R. Fish who lives on his route
has more than an acre of buckwheat
sown this year. Buckwheat
ripens much slower than
ordinary wheat and that on the
farm of Mr. Fish is just now in
Dioom.
Rock Hill Record: Oran S. Roe
is apparently farming the right]
way. He has just finished harvesting
2.2(H) bushels of oats,
350 bushels of wheat and 45
bushels of rye. He is now preparing
to plant 50 acres in alfalfa.
Now, that surely is farming
along proper lines. Not a word
about cotton, you see. Mr. Poe
is going in for feedstutTs and his
.land is producing bountifully.
' Rock Hill Herald: It is rumored
on the streets that with the completion
of the improvement on
the street leading to the AragonManchester
village, a jitney bus
line will be inaugurated, thus
putting the business centre of
the city in close touch with the
village and vice versa. It is
more than probable that such a
line will be started as soon as
there is a good deal of travel between
the villages and the city,
a distance of more than a mile.

that if the streets were to be

tired of their job and leave it.
