NEW YORK. Oct. 20-(11 a. nj
Estimating the casualties among the
eight hostile nations on the proper
tionate basis Of British losses, the
total number Of killed, wounded and
captured during the first ten weeks
of the war is nearly 100000.
The official report of British
casualties from September 13 to
October s, which has just been is
sued, places the number at 1854.
Previous reports have given the
British casualties from the beginning
of the war to September 10, as ap-
proximately $4,000. The total British
land losses therefore for the first ten
weeks of hostilites aggregate 10000.
The British forces fighting on the
continent are understood to total not
more than 100000 combatants. The
casualties represent IL per cent of
this number and by using 1e per cent
as the basis for estimating the losses
of all the hostile powers, the total
losses are, by minimum reckoning,
almost 100000.
The following table gives. as nearly
as possible, the number of men ac-
tually engaged on the firing line. This
does not represent the total under
arms, but only the actual offensive
strength, in use. There are per-
haps fifty per cent more men now
with the cOlOrs who are being en-
ployed for other work than actual
fighting or are being held back, in
reserve.
The following figures are approx.
mately the number of combatants
among whom casualties can be reck.

as they are just as good reasons why

I. Your home merchant can dupu-
cate the prices made by any RESPONSE

same quality, in the same quantities
and on the same basis of delivery
and payment.

in the home stores and be assured
of satisfaction before investing your
money.
3. You home merchants are al
WAYS ready and willing to make right
any error or any defective article pur-
chased.
4. Your home merchants help sup

taxation, your schools, churches, IL
braries and other public institutions
6. You home merchants are your
friends, ever ready to extend a help
ing hand in time of need.
I. If this community is good
enough for you to live in and make
your money in it is good enough to
spend it in.

munity are those who believe in and

the best
9. Merchants in the distant cities
give you nothing valuable that the
home merchant cannot give you, and
the former cannot and will not do
for you many things that the latter
do gladly.

ton in this community helps in

Legal Persecution.

So far the state of New York has
spent nearly fifty thousand dollars
in an unavailing effort to bring Harry
X. Thaw back. More than one-half
of the money has gone to William
Travers Jerome for services, past,
present and future" Practically all
of the money, in fact, was paid to
lawyers-not to the regular states
counsel, but to special attorneys.
These facts have been brought out
by a legislative inquiry. 1t has also
developed that Governor Glynn has
stopped the further payment OF such
sums. 1t is likewise shown that for
other escaped lunatics the state OF
New York never spent over several
hundred dollars.
Why, then, as the Macon Evening
News asks, SIS it necessary to squan-
der the peoples money on account OF
this particular mental unfortunate?
The charge that the state has been
used to further a private persecu-
tion-used by the friends Of Stanford
White for the execution of personal
vengeance against Harry Thaw-
seems to have some basis in fact.
No wonder that Thaw appeals to the
people of his state to stop the perse-
cutting prosecution

AS EDITOR FOLSOM SEES IT.

From the Montgomery Monitor.
Ignorance and politics mixed
make a dose almost as nauseating to
a sensible man as cheap whiskey and
laziness. And Montgomery county is
not free from the curse of both COM
binatiOns.
Two of the best governors Geor-
gia ever had will be known in history
as. her most exasperating citizens.
Slaton and Brown absolutely refuse
to say anything until they have some
thing to say.
AS the years go by we are more
and more convinced that all county
and state officers should be elected
for four years. The disgusting strife
of repeated elections is a blight on
our civilization, and deadly clog
to the wheels of progress.
