In the Franco-Prussian war a num

thia war lasts long there will not be
enough to ?at to sustain a canary bird
A SHOUT MAB, SAYS MAXIM
Sir Hlrum Maxim, the famous gun j
inventor, believes it will be a short
war. 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.
DUH FRIENDS HELPED
The intelligencer's efforts io give
the election returns to the public have
received numerous compliments,
which are deeply appreciated. Howev
er, we wish to share this with others
wilone assistance was indispensible.
Among those who contributed to
distributing the work and strain of the
evening were the officials of the coun
ty executive committee, members of
the staff of The Dally Mail and oth
