This handsomely turned out volume
is a record and a memoir of the
Carolina country In Beaufort county
in the corner of tin- Palmetto State
that Is tucked In between Georgia and
the Atiuntic ocean. It .was a region
of prosperous plantations from about
1720 down to the end of the Civil War,
when Sherman's army made a pretty
clean sweep of the planters' live-oak
embowered mansions- which were only
occasionally rebuilt afterward, until
in recent years the region became
a Winter resort for Northern sportsmen.
The trouble had been the lack
of labor for the rice fields after emancipation
and the persistence of the
"county fever," not yet traced to the
maluriul mosquito.
The Spaniards came to St. Helena's
island in 1525. The French, sent
out by Admiral Collgny, named Fort
Hoyal In .1062 and made a settlement,
called Churleafort, on the island we
call Parrls Island, where the I'nited
States Marines were trained for the
A. 10. F.?and where they still have
a station. In 1G6U Phillip IPs Spanlards.
having defeated Coligny's men
and killed most of them, hullt on the
same island their fort San Felipe,
which was wiped out with Its garrison
by the Indians some ten years
later, but presently replaced by another
and stronger fort. San Marco's.
Only, when Sir Francis Drake began
to sweep those waters with his
restless fleet did the Spaniards abandon
the place finally (in 1 f? H 7 >, leaving
It to be shunned of palefaces for
almost a century. Then, in the days
of Dutch William, came certain Scots
ConvenanterH under Henry Krsklne,
i.ord CardosH, and planted a settlement
which they called Stuart Town.!
This was twenty years after the Province
of Carolina had been set up by
Charles H's friends, General Monck,
lx>M Shaftesbury, Sir William Berkeley
and the rest?and fourteen years
after the founding of the city which
we now call Charleston. Nevertheless.
the Spaniards from St. Augustine
came up and chased the Scots
away as retaliation for tin Indian
raid on them engineered by the Stuart
Town lot?-and after that the region
was officially turned over to the
Yeinassee Indians to serve as buffers
against the Spaniards.
Not unfit these Indians, seated in
Poeotanga Town, rose and killed a
couple of hundred whites in 17 1 not
till then was the real Fngllsh settlement
from Fngland. Barhatloes and
Virginia, which was tin- foundation of.

Finds War Certain;
Defeat For Rome
(Following is uii Interesting article
by Richard Halliburton, widely known
traveler, *and which appeared in a
nu ??nt issue of Pennsylvania Grit,)
"Mussolini Moblizes Forty-five j
Thousand Soldiers."
"Ethiopia Arms Half a Million
Men."
These are headlines I have seen in
American and European newspapers i
during the last three months. They
have not Caused any special alarm In
America, for the average reader there
has little understanding of the quarrel
between Italy and Ethiopiu.
Vet it may mean war by September,
If not before.
On first glance at the cause of this
dash, Italy seems to be the complete
villain?a big-time bandit that lias
determined to conquer and annex Kthiopla
with no more Justification than
Belgium gave Germany in 1914. Italy,
in an absurd and futile attempt to
save her face and win the support
of public opinion in her holdup of
u weukor nation, has restored to the
invention of aggressions" and
"threats" from Ethiopia and her people.
The Italian propaganda agents have
beaten themselves and their well-regimented
readers at home Into a fine
fury over file "insults" suffered at
the hands of Ethiopia. The sacred
Italian colonies, Eritrea and Somilland,
bordering on Ethiopia, are in
imminent peril, so the Italian bulletins
insist, of invasion.
And so Italy, to protect her colonial
borders from such a catastrophe, has
already sent 100,000 soldiers to East
Africa, supplied with tanks, airplanes,
gas, and heavy artillery. And as a
purely defensive measure she is preparing,
from all indications^ to inarch
upon Ethiopia, straight to Addis
Ababa, rout king and government, and
reduce the entire country to a vassal
state.
The Ethiopian government is convinced
that Italy plans to attempt all
this in September, when the rainy
season will come to hii end.
The Ethiopians have a very different
story about the coming war.
They say that Italy's accusations
against them are as ridiculous as they
appear to be; that their only purpose
iu mobiizing soldiers is to maintain
the integrity of their territory; that
they have been a proud and independent
nation for 3,000 years, and that
they are going to defend that independence
against Italy or any other
invader.
But Ituly, perhaps, is not quite the
bandit she seems?or rather, her banditry
has arguments in its favor.
One of Benito Mussolini's big talking
points that has kept him in power
so long has been his promise to give
Italy some colonies. There is nothing
the country needs worse: Within 117,000
square miles?an area about the
size of the state of Montana, live
some 42,000,000 Italians. Italy's pop
ulation has surpassed that of France
and is increasing at the rate of more
than half a million a year.
There is no longer any hope for
relief from this pressure through emigration.
It is only through colonies
that the surplus can escape.
Colonies, then, Italy must have. But
where to got them?
Mussolini has looked studiously over
the map of the world. What territory
can he seize? Obviously, Africa
otters him his one and only chance.
But even Africa is mostly English
and French territory.
Ethiopia and Ethiopia alone, is still
iiidep.-ndrtit and unprotected. So
Mu>>o!uii knows it s Ethiopia or nothing.
Nor is lins Ida* k man's touuiry a
pn^? nil w on h\ ot Italy's b.-st efforts.
Ethiopia lai> 1 immio.uiio people- _ *

in Tripoli I 1m- \ai.a- *,f n- gold deposit
i- hey Ota! i ;i!i ulation. But most
important *>t all for Italy an Etiii
opia s vast resources of iron, coal ami
oil. Not a drop ot oil nor a ton of
coal or iron does the Italian peninsula
produ* * . But all these things lie in
inexhaustible quantities, untouched, in
the mountains of Ethiopia.
i hose are Italy's arguments.
The question arises; Why are England
and France standing aside and
allowing Italy to plan on seizing Ethiopia
?
This sympathy business has all
been ruled out in London and Paris.
Naturally. I have no access to the
secret agreements made amohg the
European powers, but the general understanding
among the diplomats to
whom 1 have talked in Addis Ababa
is this;
France must have Italy's support in
preventing, at all cost, the union of
Austria and Germany. Such an increase
in German power would be
fatal to France. Mussolini lias guaranteed
France his support in preventing
this union?at a price. The price
is complete freedom of action in Ethiopia.
France has done better than
that. She has loaned Italy 3.000,000.000
francs to carry on the campaign.
England, too. has been placated. In
the western part of Ethiopia is Lake
Tsana, controlling the headwaters the
Nile River, vital to the prosperity
of the Sudan and Egypt. And Italy
has promised to England. If Ixuadon
keeps hands off, control of Lake
'i'wana,
80 there la no one to help Ethiopia
1 h her hour of need. She must fight
"lone " medieval, semi-savage race
against a modern Industrial nation
armed with every device known to
modern warfare. Has she any hope,
with her barbaric weapons and halfnaked
soldiers, of defending herself
against airplanes and tanks? la it
going to he Just a field-day for Italy?
It most certainly is not going to
be a field-day. It's going to bo ono of
the toughest fights Italy ever has
started.
Having seen both armies and talked
to soldiers on both aides. I give Italy
Just one year to lose the war?that is,
if she Is limited to her own resources
and is not given too much help by
Europe. ,
For Ethiopia, with all her lack of
modern war materials, has enormous
advantages. First of all, she'll be
fighting on her own ground, on ground
her soldiers have hunted over and
traveled over all their lives. They
know where the short-cuts are, the
water holes, the fords across the rivers.
All Ethiopia is extremely rugged. I
Canyons, sometimes a mile deep, cut
the great central plateau Into a serieB
of isolated islands.
Wild as lk? land is, Ethiopian soldiers
can maneuver "across it, for they
have nothing to transport, no commonsary
department, no baggage, no tools,
no artillery. Each soldier rolls up a
few beans and a slice of dried beef,
a rag, ties the bundle across his shoulders,
and is sustained for a month.
He carries a rifle (with which he is
a notoriously poor marksman) and a
spear (with which he is deadly). He
never wears shoes.
Against this tough race of mounted
goats Italy must wage war 2,500 miles
trom home. She must send out by
ship, by way of the Suez Canal, all
the complicated provisions, arms, mo-'
tors, timber, and cement necessary
for war. *
I he problem will be much worse
once the lighting begins. Once tanks
reach the frontier, if they ever do,
they'll have a couple of 5,000-foot canyons
to face. And Italy's armies will
have to advance across this same impassable
country, loaded down with
heavy baggage. I
The nature of the country, then, is
Ethiopia's best ally.
But she has another enormous advantage?the
morale of her soldiers
compared to the morale of the Italians.
The Ethiopians with fanatic zeal
will be defending their country. The
Italians have no such inspiration.
Already there are a dozen deaths a
day among the Italians from dysentery,
malaria and infections. The
heat is appalling on the deserts.
Italy laced all these circumstances
once before, in IS ltd. Once before she
tought the Ethiopians among exactly
the same peaks and canyons. And she
suffered a disastrous defeat.
.'he Italians, appalled by that de!'
at. decided not to annex Ethiopia
"i lV.Hj. Nor for It) years have they
hired to set toot acros the border.
