Liable to Misiudge the Allies.

With her troops practically awaiting
marching orders and her store rooms
and magazines building with supplies
and munitions of war, Germany was
ready for the fiercest fighting when
the Kaiser pressed the button that
caused all Europe to be aflame with
war. But not so with the Allies, and
for that reason we are liable to under
estimate or misjudge the military
strength and possible effectiveness of
England, France and Russia in war.
Americans refer with evident, yet
pardonable, pride to the resources of
our country, its ability to cope success
fully with ally of the world powers, if
attacked single-handed. And yet were
we taken unawares, as were the Al
lies, we would present humiliating
spectacle, one even more humilating
than that of the allies now. If Ger
many wins in this mortal combat, it
will not necessarily mean that the
Allies are weaklings, but the victory
will be rather due to Germany's pre-
paredness, being able from the outset to
seize and hold the points of vantage.
Were man of comparatively small
statue to arm himself from head to
foot with the most modern death-deal-
ing devices and then issue q challenge
to several men of larger statue who
were not forewarned and consequently,
unprepared for the combat, would the
man who took the initiative be entitled
to much honor and praise, if he won with
the preponderance of numbers against
him? Certainly not. That is about
analogous with the European war and
the belligerents. The following edito-

Death of Mrs. Dora Tompkins.

Mrs. Tompkins was for many
yea rs,a resident of Edgefeld, and
known by most of the older inhabi-
tants of our town, especially by the
people Of Buncombe, where Mr.. and
Mrs. Tompkins lived for many
years, and most of their residence
in our town was in this section.
Mrs. Tompkins was spared the sad
announcement of the death of her
son, Linnaeus Tompkins which oc-
Cured just a few days before hers,
as she was too i'll to bear the mes
sage, and 1t will be a surprise to
them to meet thus unexpectedly on
the other shore.
!. Mrs. Tonpkins was the second
wife of the late Maj. S. S. Tomp-
kins, who lived long beyond the
three score years and ten in Colum-
bia, the home of his later years.
Three children are left of the once
happy family. These are Mrs.
Isidora Walter. Miss Julia Tomp-
kins and Theodore Tompkins.
+ The body wasiaid to rest at Will
lowbrook cemetery in Edgefeld,
DR.. Burts coming over from Colum-
bia for the service which was con-
Quoted atthe grave. Besides the i'm.
mediate family, Mrs. Carrie Tomp-
kins and Miss Isolee Shaffer, nieces
of the deceased, accompanied the
body from Columbia.
