The war of the Spanish succession in
which the great Duke of Marlborough
| played abrilliant part, was S aid to be
the outcome of a glass of water at a
ball at the Tuileries in Paris. One OF
the ladies had expressed a wish for a
drink of water in the hearing of the
British and Spanish ambassadors, who
FASTENED to get it for her. Returning
they found the fair bird had flown with
a French statesman. The English di-
plomat accidentally, it is presumed,
brushed against the Spaniard and upset
the glass he was carrying. This ridi-
culous incident infamed the ~jealousies
of the nations and turned the balance in
favor of war.
The seven years of wal was largely
due, according to his OWL confession,
to the vanity of Frederick the Great in
wanting to see his name figure largely
in the gazettes.
The Sepoys believed the cartridges
served out to them were CREASED with
the fat of animals unclean alike to Hin
du and Mohammedan, and the Indian
mutiny was projected.
The Turko-R Russian war was said to
have been started by the hammer with
which a Herzegovina blacksmith killed
d tax collector who had insulted his
daughter.
The stealing of a Castilelady's lace
petticoat by a Moor led to many years
of fierce warfare between the Spaniards
and the Moors,
The emptying of a bucket Of a Floren-
tine citizen on the head of a Milanese
gave rise to an interprovincial war in
Italy.
Borrowing a tobacco pige and failing
to return it kindled a civil war which
lasted for years among the rival races
in Pamirs Afghanistan.
A dispute as 70 the relative attractions
OF SnallS and vlperS as 1000 started 0o
years of fighting between Milan and
Psia.
In an iron case in the tower of the
cathedral in Moderna, Italy, a bucket
which 900 years ago was the cause of a
terrible waremay be seen today. Sol
diers of Modena in a mischevious mood
stole the bucket from a public well in
Bologna and refused to return it. The
states were rivals and were jealous of
each other and fights between soldiers
of two followed. This spark kindled a
fire of war which devasted a large part
of Europe and led to the Imprisonment
for life of the King of Sardinia, son of
the German Emperor. -Greenville

"LITTLE BOY BLUE"

The dance reigns triumphant every
where and all the modern steps, in
Guiding the Tango, Maxixe, Hesita-
ton. Innovation, the Castle Walk, and
any others among the volumnious
changes, which are Being made, will
be shown here when that famous
Viennese musical comedy, Little Boy

With the sensational success of
1.-THE Merry Widow" its producer
Learned the value of the noted Maxim
scene which he had caused to be in
serted in the last act. When he pro-
duced afterwards the newest Wen
nese piece, Little Boy Blue" he CEN
tered his attention mostly on the first
act, or the Cafe Tabarin. In this he
surpassed the Maxim act, for a larger
opportunity was permitted for dane
ing numbers without interfering with
the progress Of the delightful love
story. ..~
1t is in this act that the audience is
treated to one of the most complete
demonstrations of all the modern So
ciety dancing steps. 1.-THE Merry Wild
|ow" waltz may be said to have started
the tendency Of modern society dane
ers to depart from the established two
step and waltz. Whatever the regrets,
the new steps are upc~ us and in lit
tie Boy Blue" the love story of a
French Prince, dance lovers will be
entertained with an expert demon
stration of the newest fancies.
To do this properly a chorus OF
most beautiful and graceful girls have
been engaged for the musical comedy.
The producer announces that he has
not confined his selection to the typi-
cal broadway chorus girls, but Is yet
making UP his chorus from candidates
anywhere who come up to his require
ments of grace and beauty. 1t is also
stated that it will be the highest SAL
aried chorus that has ever toured the
country.
Competition for girls of beauty and
grace, who are agile in the Dance is
keen in the great centres of theatri-
cal activity. Time was when a good
looking girl would be taken quickly
whether able to sing or dance, but
now the public demands beauty, grace
and voice.-Adv.

THE r SESSION.

Barring the injection of politics
into his statement touching the call
ing of the legislature together, Gov
ernor Blease is hammering on the
right line.
The troubles that threaten the cot.
ton grower, and the incidental bur
den, is a State wide burden, and
should be borne by the State.
Governor Blease suggests that as
the State has recently borrowed
money at 34'per cent, it can do il
again to relieve the cotton farmers
The idea is right but except from d
bond issue as suggested in the last is
sue of the Press and Banner, the nee.
essary funds can not be raised even
by the State. 1t would require at
least twenty million dollars for South
Carolina alone.
The Governors suggestion that the
Governors of the several States must
act in concert is also of the greatest
importance. No one of the several
cotton States can accomplish any.
thing alone, but if they will act to-
gether and at once, the beneficial eff
fects on the price of cotton will be
immediate.
1t would take about two hundred
and fifty million dollars a a supple
mental fund to finance the present
crop. This looks like a stupendous
sum, and yet there are single insur'
ance companies that have a surplus
greater than this amount. The
Equitable Life Insurance Company
alone, if it had no other investments,
could absorb the bond issue for the
entire Southern States, and it is look.
ing for just such investments. 1t is
not then such a tremendous under.
taking after all.
1t is hoped that Legislators in South
Carolina will consider the bond issue
idea. No other method will furnish
adequate means, and consumers OF
cotton must, know that the South
means business from the beginning.
We have never doubted that Gov
ernor Blease would call the legisla-
,ture together in extra session, and we
predict that he will enter heartily
into every reasonable effort for. the
relief of his State In this emergen-
cy factionalism should be put aside
and the legislative and executive
branches. of the State government
should work to acommon purpose.
It looks now as if the war may be
brought to a close in a few months,
but even if this is the case, cotton
has received such a heavy blow that
it will require government aid to re,
store it. The legislative aid move
ment should 60 on, whether the wal
ceases or not. Much of the damage
has already been done, and unless
action is taken at once much more
will surely follow.
