London, Aug. 18.-More than one
alf of the world and its people are
Evolved in the great war now
preading over all Europe.
That is not broad statement or
glittering generality. Stupendous,
funning as it may appear at first
lance, study of statistics will show
to be fact that over fifty per
Nent. of the earth's era, land and sea,
md slightly in excess of fifty per
ent. of the worlds population are
irectly concerned in the great con-
let.
Roughly, there are about $4,000
100 square miles of the worlds
hnd area. The powers now at war
Da their colonies occupy approx
snately 28,982,996 square miles,
rifle more than half the total The
Mas of the world are controlled iby
he powers in about the same pro-
portion as the land.
Whitaker's London Almanack es-
imates the worlds total population
n 1912 at 1923, 1900, 900 people.
lrhe warning powers and their colo
|hies contain 898,440,000 people,
considerably more than one-half.
With SO much of the world con-
Erolled by the warning nations, no
grand division of the earth, no CONT
nent and none of the great oceans
IS without the very real possibility
pf becoming battle-ground for con-
Eaict between the nationals of the
contending powers.
Least of the continents, Europe,
since the time of Columbus, has ex-
tended its claims over the lands and
populations everywhere until today
its great governments overshadow
ehe greater share of the worlds peo-
pie as we'll as the lands.
The countries now directly involv-
ed in the war hold these areas and
British Empire: 13,523,712
square miles; 435. 100000 people.
Russian Empire: S,647,6 57 square
miles; 166, 100000 people.
France and her colonies: 1872
900 square miles; 83,S50,0000 peo-
pie.
German Empire: ,234 ,S66 square
miles; S0,000,O00 people.
Belgium and the Congo Free
State: $4,000 miles; 28,OO0,OOO
people.
Austria4Hungary 261,O99 square
miles; 51,340,OO00 people.
servia; 23,661 square miles;
100000 people
Germany has secured a foothold
in Africa, where she controls about
one million square miles in the
southern part of the continent, Ger
man East Africa and German West
Africa. Between these two PROVING
rs, which are about equal in size,
lies the great South African British
Empire. With Germany eliminated,
Nfrica would be far on the way to-
ward being an English and French
continent.
France at present holds more At
rican territory than any other ma
ton, aggregating more than four
million square miles, or greater
area than that of the United States,
with Alaska and American insular
possession included. This French
territory takes in most of the Sahara
Desert, Algeria in the north and vast
fertile areas in the valleys ofthe Nile
and the Niger.
Egypt is still nominally depend
ency of the Turkish Empire, but

Movemeat Oh Foot to Secure
National Funds For Roads.

An enthulia-tic mass meeting was
held in the court house Saturday
afternoon in tina interest of good
roads. Capt o. P. Bright. the
president Of the Chamber Of Com
mprce. presided. Letters were read
from Congressman James F. Byrnes,
stating that he can obtain from the
government $4,000 for EdgeG. Id
county for r,ai improven mt, pro-
vided the people Of the county will
raise twice that sum. Mr. Byrnes
also stated that unless prompt sc-
tion is taken the money will be
transferred to some other county or
congressional district.
A com uittee c,n.i.ting of o. P
Bright, J. G. Long and J. w.
Stewart was appointed to ascer tain
from the government what time will
be allowed for raising the req uirc l
sum and also what IN .cinery, if any,
must be purchased by the county.
The committee has been instruct
ed to make a canvass Of the terrific
ry adjacent to the leading public
roads in the central portion of the
county so that at q subsequent mass
meeting the roads that are to be i'm
proved may be wisely selected. The
meeting Saturday was largely
attended and considerable interest
was manifested 1t is practically
certain that at least a portion if not
all of the $4,000 will be secured
for the county.
Capt. Bright has seen number
of merchants and other business
men of Edgefeld and has secured
liberal pledges toward the proposed
fund. 1t is to be hoped that sufi-
cient money can be raised to secure
government aid. In order to do
this prompt action must be taken.

since an attraction of this kind has
been presentid under the auspices of
the lyceum, hence we believe that

number of popular subjecta,any one

From the best information we can
get as to the Congressional race In
this district it appears that John A.
Horton will be in the second race and
just at this time it is not certain who
the other man will be, Aiken Or Dom
mick. Mr.. Horton made a most fav-
orable impression at each of the cam
paign meetings and many people were
heard to remark that he was a good,
clean reliable man that could be
trusted" John Horton has no politi-
cal record to speak of and that is con-
siderably In his favor, but he has a
most remarkable record In his bust
ness career having made a success in
every undertaking and the people of
the Third district have decided that
they will quit voting for people with
political records" as they have new
er received any special benefits from
these records. A great many people
are going to vote for John Horton
because he has been a success in con-
Quoting his own business and they
believe hat is the best indication that
he will attend to the people business
more efficiently than the politician.
Many people in the Third district,
