CUTTING IN AIKEN COUNTY.
Robert Key Slashed by Calvin Ready,
Who Escaped.

Aiken, March 2.-Yesterday af-
ternoon Robert Key, well-knoWn
white man, of the Silverton section,
was brought to Aiken, having been
severely cut by Calvin Ready, for
mer convict, paroled by the governor
in 1912.
Key had three deep cuts across the
back and several across the arm, and
the doctors had to take many stitches
in his wounds.
Rural Policeman Samuels and Dep
uty Robinson went to the scene of the
trouble yesterday afternoon, but
Ready had fled, and it is thought that
he has made his escape into Georgia.
From the story told by the Off
GERS, it seems that Ready was paying
attention to younger sister of Key,
and the latter objected to this atten-
tion on account of Readys reputa-
ton on account of Ready's reputa-
Ready slipped up to Key and cut him,
with the above results.
Ready has bad reputation in this
county, and the records in the clerk
of courts office show that he was ar
rested in 1912 on charge of arson,
but at the February term of court
for that year the case was not press
ed. He was charged with burning a
house of Mr.. R. B. Garvin. At the
same court he was indicted for as
sault and battery with intent to kill,
and when his case was called ne
pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to
the chain gang for four months, or a
fine of SIS. He took the prison SEN
tence, and after working only por-
ton of the time was paroled. How
ever, this parole is not on record in
the clerks office.

Pen and Holder Used On Railroad Bill
of Great Worth.

Washington, March 1.-THE pen
with which Speaker Champ Clark
signed the Alaska railroad bill was
made of Alaska gold and was held
in an ivory penholder made from the
tusk of a mastodon that roamed
Alaska more than fifty thousand
years ago.
Vice President Marshall used the
same pen and holder tonight when
he affixed his signature. The pen
holder was carved in the form OF an
Alaska totem pole by an Alaskan In

Garnets BY The Ton.

Gsrnets are generally classed as
precious stones. and fine gem gar
net may be worth from S. to $25 a
carat, according to variety and size,
but it is not necessarily true that the
owner of garnet mine is million
aire be cause his mine produces gar
nets by the ton. In fact. the bulk of
the garnets produced are measured
by the ton. but those of inferior
quality are used for abrasive pur-
poses. In 1912 the production of
abrasive garnets. according to the
United States Geological Survey,
a amounted to 4.lS2 short tons, valued
at $137 800. so that the average price
fjr ton of garnets was not quite
1913. or considerably less than double
the price of ton hay.
The production Of Rarnets in 1912
showed-an increase of LOG tons in
quantity and SIG. 052 in value COM
pared with 1911. The three gsrnet-
producing States are New York, New
Hampshire. and North Carolina.

CIRCLE THE GLOBE
Colonies of the Warning Powers
Are Very Extensive.
England Comes First With Her Wide
spread EmpIre-oermany and
France Also Have Vast
Possessions.

Four of the powers OF Europe which
today are engaged in warfare have
colonial possessions, protectorates
and dependencies scattered all over
the world.
Austria-Hungary and Russia have
no colonial possessions, though the
Russian empire stretches through the
continents Of Europe and Asia and
presents a long coast line on the
northern Pacific.
OF the others, Great Britain has col
onies and protectorates the world over.
France has colonies and protector
ates in Africa, India, China, in South
America, in the West Indies, in the
North Atlantic, and in the Pacific
and Indian oceans. Germany has col
onial possessions in Africa, in China,
and in the Pacific ocean. Italy has
dependencies in Africa, and a conces-
sion in China.
Englands vast empires, India, Can
ada and Australia; her colonies IN
Africa and her fortified positions in
the Mediterranean, Gibraltar and
| Malta, pat her at the head of the col
ony-holdins nations of the world;
they also increase the field Of her
protective operations since becoming
involved in war with Austria-Huugary
and Germany.
Many of the minor holdings of the
| four powers with colonial possessions
! to defend are themselves without mil
itary strength. In many cases the pro
tecting power has only very small gar
risons on shore, amounting to moth
| ing more than local police forces. This
is particularly true in Africa, outside
of the French and British colonies. in
the Pacific ocean and in American wa
tiers.
The continent of Africa presents a
| notable picture of the juXtapositiOn OF
protectorates and colonies belonging
to Great Britain, France and Germany.
France has a protectorate over
Morocco. and her Algerian posses
sions, facing the Mediterranean, are
bounded on the east by Tripoli, a de-
tendency OF Italy. Then comes Egypt,
where British interests are paramount.
On the Red sea and contiguous to
Egypt is the Italian dependency Of
Eritrea Coming down the east coast
are British Somaliland, Italian Somali-
land, British East Africa, German East
Africa, Portuguese East Africa and
then British South Africa, embracing
Rhodesia, the Transvaal, the Orange
River colony, Natal and the Cape OF
| Good Hope.
On the west, contiguous in the order
named, are German Southwest Africa,
Portuguese West Africa, the Congo
State. belonging to Belgium; the
French Congo; Kamerun, belonging to
Germany; the Niger territories, pro-
tectorate Of Great Britain; French
West Africa; Togoland, belonging to
Germany; the Gold Coast, the British
colony, and the Ivory Coast, annexed
by France 20 years ago.

NAV|ES COME FIRST
Mahan Predicts Decisive Strokes
Will Be Dealt at Sea.
American Rear Admiral Thinks Euro
poan War Will Teach Many Les
sons About Naval Fight
Ing and Armament.

The most decisive stroke In the
general European warfare will be
dealt, In my belief, upon the sea,
rather than upon the land, declared
Rear Admiral Mahan, retired, in an
interview at his home near Quague,
L. l.
Il look for an all around naval con-
flict which should teach many things
about sea fighting craft, about guns
and about armament.
What will happen" he was asked,
when dreadnaught meets dread
naught, when the tremendously pow
erful modern uper-battleshIps, with
their 14-inch guns and their thousand
or more men to the ship, get together?
Will the problem of their worth, their
effectiveness, be settled7"
THE problem of the A-B-G tall big
guns) ship is highly interesting one"
Admiral Mahan replied, "and we may
learn through this war of its worth.
But the lesson will not be shown in
any ship-to-ship fight. Dreadnaught
against dreadnaught will be no differ
ent than one old frigate against anoth-
err old frigate in the days gone by.
THE really interesting and instruc-
tive combat would be between, say, a
dozen dreadnaughts and dozen and a
half smaller battleship size. We might
then see whether or not the Y and
14-inch gun is of so great Importance
as has lately been asserted.
81 cannot say that l agree with
the idea of the A-B-G ships. England,
of course originated the dreadnaught
and cackled like a chicken that had
laid an egg, and got every one else
building A-B-Gs. But | think all the
navies are coming around to what we
called the mixed battery ship, and
that is as 1t should be.
1.-THE original dreadnaught idea was
ship with all big guns of II or Ia
inch caliber and few small guns, say
three or four-inch caliber, for use
against torpedo bats. But the size
of the lesser battery has been creep
ing up year by year, until our newest
ships have six-inch guns with the las,
and | understand some vessels have
eight-ich guns, which are pretty size
able weapons for any use.
Il believe this war will show that
a well distributed fire by the medium
sized guns will do much more damage
than the slower single shots of the
big fellows.
The submarine question and the
airship question-neither ever tested
out thoroughly-will doubtless receive
considerable elucidation in the con-
ficts TO come"
The admiral declined to comment
upon the comparative fighting ability
or gunnery of the nations involved or
to be involved. Nor would he ad-
vance any theories as to the damage
likely to be indicted upon the ex-
tremely large fighting craft by sub
marines or by air craft.
