volved in the most bloody and destruc-
tive war that has happened since the
beginning of the world. 1t is not to be
supposed that these nations were not
sincere in their mutual declarations.
On the contrary, we are bound to as
sumo that they were, but that they
were carried away by the heat of pas
sion when questions arose which might
have been submitted to an impartial
tribunal for it's decision. This danger
was greatly increased by the fact that
it had become the policy of some of the
nations to make every able-bodied Cit
izen soldier, and drill and equip him
in such fashion that he could be called
into the field, or as the phrase is,
mobilize at a moments notice. Hence
we have war in which literally mil
lions of men are engaged on each side,
in which all the resources of science
and all the ingenuity of mechanism are
employed for mutual destruction.
For the enforcement of agreements
and of statutes, which bear the same
to civil law that treaties do to
law, each nation has
provided a national police, which
may, in case of need, be supported by
the national army. Since the nations
have been able to agree upon the for

COTTONSEED ARE
selling AROUND
TOPNOTCH PRICE

The Americas cottonseed market has
recently reached an altitude not at
tanned heretofore in long while, and
farmers can obtain top-notch values
for the surplus cottonseed. In fact, at
current prices, which are around $28
per ton, the seed from bale of cotton
are worth at least half the value of the
lint. Many farmers of Sumter are SELL
ing their cottonseed at the advanced
price, which at present is double the
price paid during the earlier portion
of the season when seed sold here at
$12 to $14 per ton. One farmer sent in
yesterday a cavalcade of fifteen wag-
ons, loaded with cottonseed, which
were sold to the local oil mills.

Arbitration, should they not be willing
to follow the analogy of this institu
ton existing in each and provide an
international police? In such case, the
independent army of each nation
should be strictly limited. AS result
each nation would be without the pow
er to begin war ON a great scale. An
international police could check any
turbulence and invasion Of one nation
by another, just as the police of a par
ticular nation, seconded, if need be, by
the army of that nation, puts down
