' < Edison's Method. i ( Thomas A. Edison, in Iron Age, j tells how he gets along without one j German product, and incidentally offers a bit of good advice. He writes: . "Carbolic, acid is not obtainable in , this country, hence we are depend- j ent on England and Germany. I am j the largest single user of carbolic ] acid here, and the embargo placed on shipments by England, together ( with the impossibility of obtaining j any from Germany, has put me in a ] pretty tight place. However, dj massing a big gang of men in three jshifts, I have erected all the machinery and apparatus for making carbolic acid synthetically from benzol, 1 and my plant is now working, but I 1 shall manufacture only for my own ' use in the production of phonograph 1 records. It occurs to me that there are many things we are short of in ' the chemical line that could be made : here quickly, if some people in the ' trade would act?not talk." This ] very spirit of setting to work in the 1 South manufacturing the chemical j commodities is exactly what we are < advocating.

V " - " : BOND ISSl'K KILLED. Author Vigorously Advocates State Loan Plan. Columbia. Oct. 10.?By a vote of 4 4 to 42. the house yesterday struck 3ut the resolving words of the Irby joint resolution submitting to the qualified electors of this State the juestion of issuing bonds not exceedng $10,000,000 "to enable the State :o relieve the people from the dis:ressed condition brought about by uoney stringencies, short time loans fvith uncertainty of renewals, etc., Sy providing for long time loans to citizens, etc." On the motion to reconsider and lay on the table the motion to strike put the resolving words the usual parliamentary "clincher," Mr. Irty lemanded a roll call. By a vote of 30 to 45 the house reconsidered and laid on the table the motion to strike out the resolving words. In consequence, the Irbv joint resolution was dead for the session. Mr. Irby made a vigorous fight for the passage of the joint resolution submitting the question of a bond issue to the qualified electors. He spoke at length on the proposition last Tuesday night. The house took up the bill by Mr. tt'yche of Spartanburg to extend the :ime for the payment of 1914 taxes sn which debate was interrupted last Monday. After an extended debate the house struck out the enacting ivords of the bill by a vote of 72 to 20. Mr. Gray, of Anderson, withdrew ais bill to extend the time for paying :axes. The house decided to make the special committee's cotton acreage eduction bill and related bills special srders for night session. A resolution providing for the atendance of one senator and one rep-esentative at the conference of governors on the cotton situation in Memphis. October 17, was passed resterday morning by the house. The expenses of the legislators will be said from the governor's contigent iund. The Creech resolution to appoint i committee to investigate alleged concert of action on the part of cotion mills in shutting down to depress :he price of cotton was killed by the souse. The bill by Mr. Summers, of Anierson, to extend the time for the payment of taxes for 1914 was killed py a vote of 47 to 9. War's Awful Death Cost. Conservative estimates place the osses of the allies for the first five weeks of the war at 150,000, and ;hose of the Germans for the same period at 200,000, declares Leslie's Weekly. According to the best in-j formation Germany has more than! 2,000,000 men on her various battle ines, so that in five weeks she has ost say 10 per cent, of her engaged forces. The total number is appal-1 ng, yet by comparison the losses on pither side have not been heavy. In 3ur own oame 01 ocnvsuurg meic ivere 82,000 federals and 73,000 Confederates engaged and the total osses were federals 24,000, or 29 per cent., and Confederates 20.450, jr 28 per cent. At the battle of Saiowa, in 1866, the defeated Austrians ost 44,400 out of 210,000 engaged, 5r 21 per cent. At Waterloo, in 1815, the defeated French lost 24 per cent, of the 124,000 men engaged ind the victorious allies 10 per cent. )f t,heir 214,000. In their case, however, little of the fighting was done py the Prussians, the brunt of the osses being borne by the British and Belgians. At Zorndorf, in 1758, the Prussians had 37,000 men and lost 11,000, or 30 per cent., while the Russians, with 50,000 men, lost 24,300, or 48 per cent. The loss of 200,000 men to the Raiser is not serious from a military standpoint. The war footing of the Berman army is 4,200,000. Therefore, the losses are under 5 per cent., ind thanks to small calibre rifles and iseptic surgery, half of the wounded ivill be back with their commands in i couple of months. In the mean time a word from the emperor will replace them immediately with re:ruits from the large number of men [it for military duty, but not included in the regular army and reserves. Glerman partisans say that if forced to do so. Germany can raise, arnt. and equip 7,000,000 men. The Real Reason. ?

If the matrimonial alliances of Ei ropean royalty were allowed to pla as important a part in the presei muddle as they did in the midd ages, the confusion attendant on Ei rope's present crisis would be mat times more remarked.
