THE WASTE OF WAK Two factors will contribu?? largely to the end of the war in Europe. One ls the cost of war and the other ls the possibility of famine. Great Britain is lu nu dunger of the latter, because, we are informed, "the paths to the United Slates and to Canada are now open." Imports of grain into England have been largely in excess of the normal, because so many continental ports are open and because up to lite present England haa received some ?C or moro cargoes of grain "that vere declined for continental ports." A report from London under date of September 2nd, says: "At prone ent the stocks of meat in London warehouses are said to he GO per cent above the average, while the wheat, maize and barley stocks are ir?0 per cent, 200 per cent and COO per cent, respectively above thc aver age." Then tho question arises, If Eng land has more than her share ts not some other country preparing to s '. fer for lt? Any estimating upon the cost of war is more or less conjecture. But tho actual cost of keeping the ar mies in the field is $700,000,000 a month, and is only a part ot war s cost. And the wages paid the ar mies are prod uer j ve of nothing but sickness, death, destruction and sor row. Tbe same amount of money ex pended In wages would produc? the things which make for happiness and contentment. All of the wages paid in the United States in any one year of wbich we have a census report amounted to $3, 500,000,000, or about half of the an nual cost ot this war at the present ratio. In the year 1909, the total val ue of all the manufactured product of cotton in the United States was lesa than the war bill of Europe for one month. While war plays havoc with warring nations, those neutral countries di rectly Involved must also suffer, as well we know. The bank clearings of the United States for the week ending' September 10th were $1,166, 899,000 lesa than for the corresponding week one yeer before. , The 'sublime folly of war ia thus measured In dollars: and, dents, and thero lo no computing the Buffering, the anguish, the prostration ot the homes where the tread of war grinds lt? iron shod heels into the quivering hearts of mothers and wives whose .rms ashs-to embrace the absent lov ed ones, with faces paling under tbe glittering ?uora-raordered bscanss of the madness ot monarchy. The frenzied people In their excess for patriotic seal may not bo willina to end the- war, but when the relent less field mars ^al, Starvation, march es upon the field, with Debt and Ruin as his eldee, then will the real hor rors of war be seen and humanity may cause an end to this senseless waste of treasure, ot blood, of life, ot women's tears. THE COTTON SITUATION The Columbia State of Friday baa j a very thoughtful editorial in which , lt suggests that tho cotton milla with- 1 In the state agree to buy the cotton 1 produced .Within tho state. Vhleh shows that the Columbia newspaper j bi considerable of an idealist all right, , but doea not .know much about the \ mill business as related to the pur- i chsae of cotton. There are many milla 1 in thia state that rarely uae a bale ot ' 8outh Carolina cotton becauae the ms- , chinery la set for manufacturing cot- i ton from a staple of different length and tensile strength from that pro- ' duced In the state. Furthermore, the milla In this state ( sre going to buy the cotton where i they can get lt, and the farmers In South Carolina are not going to turn loose their cotton right now. A cer tain mill in Anderson es Friday bought , l uv uaico vc ?vtKiA kS? UUSUD, Ut., with freight and other charges adde? at ? lower cost than the cotton was selling for on the public square. The Ides ot buying at home ia all right and ia the principle upon which the cotton mill industry In the S~uth waa built, but there must be coop?ration all along the lins. .^fiie price for cotton in thia stats seems to nave been.abnormal 'or the ; last few days and we opine there will be a slump. For a number of cotton brokera over the South thinking that cotton v was going down, made con tracts to deliver cotton at the milla for 7 l-2c, and they have been unable to get lt and they must deliver it at ; st some price In order to save their 1 faces. After this la dons there may be a relaxation. As B. F. Ifanldln has pointed ont, there is a tremendous surplus crop i this year that will influence the aver age price, no metter what ts being paid today. It Texas can plcK her crop, the price Of cotton in December is sure to go below 7 cents unless some, steps are taken to handle that surplus crop. These ideas are unpopular, wc feel ?ure, in view of the good prices paid for eotton Friday, but nevertheless, the fact remain* that liiere is u sur plus. A store may have a surplus of bats and be able at the beginning of tile season to get good prices, but lat er on the price will fall very low and average price will remain the same unless aome way be found for diminish ing the sui pin- or by holding the styles for another year. It ia neces sary for the cotton planter to hold the styles for next yeur and to plant more grain and oilier forage crops, and to reduce the acreage of cotton CO per cent. We wish to emphasize th!? right now before people may be unduly enthused over the present spurt in prices. Cot ton IM worth more than 9 cents but can the farmer get lt? That ls the question. The merchant knows that his goods are fine, but can he get the price? Not unless he hides away some of his goods and at some time in the future-without laying in new stock-he produces what he has saved from another season. Business methods must be applied to the cotton situation. Spasms of good prices will but be injurious in the "long run". THOU. C. WALTON The announcement of the death of Thos. .C. Walton will carry with it a great deal of sorrow. Dr. Walton waa at one time superintendent of the hopis Of Anderson and was re }}ep one of the leading mell in the state in educational work. He was a man qt attractive characteris tics and those who knew him best re garded] him with the greatest amount of affection. Dr. ,Walton was a member of thc distinguished family of the same name in Georgia, and inherited the literary instincts of his forefathers. AB a cf yb}, fte waa a playmate of Woodrow Wilson and this frelndshlp continued thfOTgh Ufe. For some years Dr. Walton has been In ill health, but he loved Anderson and always took a lively interest In her affairs. One of the last public ad dresses that he made was at Anderson college, and the beautiful sentiments of ?that short talk.wilt long be remem bered by those who heard lt. BILLING EXPERT IN COLUMBIA WUl Disease the Building of Ele vator in Connection With Flour MO] lo . I . . Columbia, Shpt. 17. W. J. Savage, an expert in the mill ing industry, 1B expected to be in Co lumbia next week to appear before a conference of chamber of commerce directora and other business men 'on the matter of building a grain el* vsi?r here which will lead to the es tabrubment of a large flour mill. Mr. Savage, lt waa said this morning at ornees of the chamber of com-1 raerce, knowB milling thoroughly and his""coming here at this time is ex pefl*JKf; to give an added impetus to tne movement to build the elevator and grinding mill. Mr. Savage will be befe either the 22nd or the. 23rd, according to the present plans. South Carolina produced large amounts of corn and wheat last year; not fo". large as lt ls hoped to make the crops In the future, the never theless^ both -grain figured to a con? Bldefajpe extent i n ihe agricultural products- ot the state. There are only s few inllls,in the state that c an pro duce Bour and meei and the output rrom these ts limited, lt ls said, so that at present South Carolina cannot lay claim to being an Important state In tho;milling industry. A flour, corn meal and grist mill is an industry that will doubtless be gladly wel comed to the manufacturing lines In Columbia, and will go a long way to ward making Columbia a corn and wheat market. Traffie Association Braach. The chamber of commerce ihis morning received a letter from B. E. Slaytob, manager of Ute New Orleans office of the Merchants' Traffic aso ciatlon, stating that lt waa one of Its plane to open a -branch her?. Mr. Slayton was Invited to open the office here by R. W. Holcombe, the secre tary of tho chamba r of commerce. Mr. Slayton said he i.-?d carefuly studied the statistics relative < to Columbia, furnished him by Mr. Holcombe, and he wu? confident that Columbia was In '?Very sense of the -vord a real city and furthermore he was ab Impressed that he most certainly Would open a branch office hrre. The association employe freight ex perte who look after claims held by shippers against railroads. It ie not improbable that the broom factory mentioned In tb? newspapers a few days ago will open here about October 1. The chamber of com merce la again in receipt of a letter from a resident of Georgia saying that he continues to believe that Columbia fas a Suitable place for hts contem plated broom factory, and that he will make a specialty of broome for cot ton mille and for that reason he de siree to locate hie factory In the can ter of the cotton mill Industry aa the problem of distribution will he sim plified. o o o o ooo o o o o o o o o o o WAR BULLETINS o o o' oooooooooooooo Thut a lull wu* noticeable In the fighting between the allies and the German* in Franco was tho most Im portant -statement issued last night by the official bureaus of the contending I nation:?. 1 Thia unouncement came from the Paris war ellice, which add ed that thor wa? no < hange in the gen eral situation, except that tbe allies j had continued their progress on the | left wing. The British official press bureau likewise adds that the status of the battle, in which it was estimated that 3,000,000 men are engaged, was without ! particular change. No statement was received from Norlin. Petrograd Issued an officiai report saying that the Russian general Ren nenkauipff, had stopped r.n offensive movement of the Germans last Thurs day and that the, Germans at several points were retreating and taking up new positions. Rome reported that a rumor was In in circulation that bombs hud been thrown Sn the Austrian arsenal at Pa la and that mines which bad not been placed by tbe Austrian authorities had been found in the canal leading to the arsenal. The British war otTiee issued another easually list which showed that the British officers are still falling in large numbers on the held of battle. The names of 12 officers who were killed and 34 who were wounded were given. Rome dispatch to a London newspa per gives a report that 8 German ar my corps bad left France and Bel gium for the Rusian frontier. Another newspaper dispatch says a German aeroplane dropped a bomb in Antwerp. Efforts are being made to procure an exchange of prisoners between .the beliigerent powers. Great Britain baa received no pro posal for peace from Germany, or Austria, acording to a mesage received | late tonight by Sir Cecil Spring-Rice. British ambasador at Washington from Sir Edward Gray. Coincident with the receipt of this information, it was stated at the White House that President Wilson virtually had abandoned the idea of carrying further the informal peace movement recently begun and has decided to await a definite explanation regarding peace terms from some of the bellige-' r nts, ss he felt that ft would be'In consistent-with the American neutral ity to press one or the belligerents to make overtures to thc other. , IAND STILL THEY C0J?E Americans Ar? Returning front Eu rope on Every Beat. (By Associated Press.) New. York, Sept. 18;-From Europe today came many more Americans, passengers on thc White Star liners, the Baltic and the Cretic. each from Liverpool.

CHARLESTON WILL RUY MUCH COTTON Charleston, Sept. 17.-At the con clusion of the "buy-a-bale campaign" which ended here thia evening at '?? o'clock after two days of spirited can vasslng by 24 teams.

When thia announcement -waa made there waa astonishment because COO bales bsd been tbe mark with hopes of making it noealbly 4,000, but ?14,786 bales exceeded all expecta tions and lt is likely that a record has been set -The cotton.win be bought gradually by wholesale houses^ fertiliter ?rt?h? manufacturing iatwruSvi tutti.iaAiyW* nals.

Other purchases will be gradual but the result will be distributed among the state's farmers by people who do not ordinarily Buy cotton. Jt is felt here that if other South Carolina cities do as well n proper ton the South Caroma cotton, planters troubles wRl be temporarily solved at lasst. Probably $100,000 will be fi sided at once among local planters In ncc; of cash. The first day's eara pgain resulted in about $70.460 worth of orders aimed to help the local smsll farmers.
