Japanese Attache Here
Says Balloons Helped
~ In War Against Russia

4 firm believer in the practicability OF
dirigible balloons for modern warfare
Mai Kunishige Tanaka, military at
tacne of the Japanese embassy. Is
greatly interested in the coming balloon
race az ST. Louis, which. In his opinion.
Will do much TO advance the science OF
aerial navigation. Since the Russo-Jap-
anese war, he says. Japan has followed
every development from the captive
balloon to the practical dirigibles.
During the battle of Lioyang." said
Major Tanaka "the Russians used cap
tive balloons with good effect. noticed
tnis during the engagement. and the
value Of even these crude Instruments
Of warfare was splendidly demonstrated
later at Shaho. The japanese. after de-
feating the enemy, captured many docu-
menJs of Importance
some Of these. to our surprise
showed in detail the exact position Of
our fOrtihcauCns. together with accu-
rate accounts OF the placing OF the
troops, and much other valuable in
formation This was explained only by
the fact that the Russians used bal
looms. BY this means they gained In
formation which might have proven OF
the utmost Importance to them.
This, Major Tanaka says. was the be-
ginning Of practical military ballOOning.
and a revelation 20 the japanese. WAC
were quick 10 realize the importance OF
aerial navigation. Japanese balloons
were quickly brought into service. one
OF which was sent up at Port Arth r.
Valuable and efficient work was done by
the Japanese with balloons thereafter
Special balloon corps are now a part
Of the Japanese army. Since the depar-
lure OF Major Tanaka from Japan. the
Japanese, he says. have made much
progress in the new science. 1t Is his
opinion that those who deny the prac-
ticability OF dirigibles are in error.

There remains no longer any doubt in
the minds OF the gossips that the men
OF the Vanderbilt family are displeased
with the count. and il is said today that
Mrs. Vanderbilt Is rapidly inciinlng TO
their view. The big question here to-
day Is:
"WilI the count find himself alone al
the Breakers before the week is over?'
This suggestion is given strength by
the announcement from Lenox that Mrs
Vanderbilt and Gladys are going there
this week 70 visit Mrs William D. Sloan.
The count - said 10 have been In a
fury when be found that Mr. and Mrs.
Alfred Vanderbilt had gone 10 New

respects to the count, whom they had
never seen.

are ideal crops for liberal fertilizing.
Corn Is rather an uncertain crop on the

has but a short period in which to devel-
ing but a few days. If very dry weather
shall prevail when this critical period Is
approaching, and for some time after II

It is different in the case Of cotton,
which commences to bloom and make
fruit in June (or even earlier) and con,
tinues throughout the summer until
checked by a severe frost IN November.
It has a number of chances"
Cotton Is therefore another ideal crop
for liberal fertilizing. A small amount

not follow that twice as heavy an appli-
cation will produce twice as large re-
suits, or that three times as much would
cause three times as great an increase
in the yield. In other words. the rate
of increase in the yield Of cotton will
not be in proportion to the increase in
the amount Of fertilizers applied. TWO

ton. For corn, I would limit the amount
to a0 to 800 pounds per acre on old up
lands.

Dividend in Sight.

Mr.. Lawton r. Robertson Of our own la a.,
public spirited citizen, and is always willing
70 contribute OF bis means to the upbuilding
OF Abbeville. Not SO long ago he subscribed
an amount for the Presbyterian High School
70 be established In this city. He paid half Of
1t promptly. But he Is now or the anxions
bench since the enterprise has been aban-
doned. BE doesn't know exactly what will
become Of his money. 1t was suggested to
him that the money Of cash subscribers could
be used in paying dividends TO those who had
not paid, but the idea did not eeem to meet
his hearty approval. He didn't understand
IL thoroughly. But it is likely that, upon
more mature reflection. he will see the pro-
priety OF the cousre Of eveaing up things. He
no doubt has been happy in the conscious
ness Of q duty we'll performed, and his loss Of
the money has been In this way more than
compensated for. It is differ emit with those
who subscribed but didn't pay. Some OF
them al least have been 80 badly scared be-
cause Of their foolish act, that a real good
dividend Is needed 10 make things even, and.
It is barely possible that MIR. Robertson
would like TO see the reluctant payers re-
warded for the tortures OF mind they have
undergone. As Presbytery will not now
need the money, the cash in hand could be
used ss "a dividend. II Presbytery should
adopt the plan Of paying out the cash in
hand 81 q dividend to the .payfng-sut-.
scribers we would insist on Mr.. Robertson be-
ing allowed q dividend on the unpaid part Of
his subscription. This would place all debt
ors to the school or the same footing. We
| don,t think ~ uonld he fair To excluda Mr..
Robertson from a dividend on his unpaid
share which should equal the per cent. that
would be paid to Others. -.

That the ~Presbyterial High school project
Is dead there can ne longer be any reason
able doubt; for on Tuesday Of last week the
CONF appointed by the South Carolina
Presbytery TO act in the matter Of establish
ing this school met In Abbeviile. and after
carefully going over the situation, consulting
with representative citizens, and consider
ing the matter from every point OF view
which presented itself to them, they decided
unanimously thai they would recommend
TO Presbytery that the project should be
abandoned.
This, OIL, course, settled the question. and
while q great deal could be said as 10 why
this settlement seems the very best that
could have been made, all the circumstances
taken into consideration, we content our
selves with saying merely that we think this
committee OF Presbytery acted with grea
wisdom and that any other course would
have sh own that lis members could not see
that changed conditions required change OF
plans, and that by persistipg in a course
which, At one time, seemed the proper one
TO pursue. they would be brought 10 face q
long period Of struggle. with dnal disaster as
the probable outcome, for the school they
sought TO establish.
The history OF similar schools, established
or attempted, In our State gives very lite
encouragement TO those working along the
line Of founding denomipational high schools
while, on the other hand, the high schools
that have been put in as integisl parts OF

Cotton emit.

There has been during the past week more
b the usual activity II the cotton marke'
at AbbeviiIe. Besides the cotton brought t"
the market or wagons. some GOO bale
were sold, out OF the warehouse. the pric,
ranging from 81 10 liz. Most Of the cotton
stood around The eleven figure. In the
warehouse today there are about 800 bale'
INST 1000 bales last year at this time.
For the first time in the history OF tbe
warehouse, cotton was sold at auction to the
highest bidder. This action TO US seems &c
be the best way Of disposing OF The staple.
The wisdom OF building cotton warehouses
we think, has been fully established.
