NOT A TOTAL WIPlNG OUT
"Annlhilated Regiment" Means That
the Organization Of the Unit
10 Broken.

In the dispatches concerning the war
in Europe we sometimes run across
the expressions "annihilated" and, de-
stroyed," with reference to large mill
tary forces. These technical terms,
says the Philadelphia Record, are like
ly to be misleading to the-reader who
Is ignorant OF things military. One
learns with horror that "an entire d.
vision was destroyed while attempting
to take Hill c." or that "a regiment OF
cavalry, while accommodating on the
flank Of the enemy, was annihilated.
Naturally enough, the reader imagines
a terrible scene of slaughter, in which
all, or practically all, the soldiers are
left dead on the field.
The truth, however. Is quite differ.
ent. By no means was every soldier
killed--the division or regiment was
destroyed or annihilated as an organi-
zation or effective fighting unit.
In time Of war men fight, not as in.
dividuals, but as parts Of a fighting
unit. That unit may be o regiment
a division or an army corps. In order
to be Of any real use, those organiza
tlons muct be maintained. When the
organization is broken up, the indi
vidual soldiers who compose 1t, no mat
ter how brave they may be person
ally, degenerate into mob; and. as q
mob or mere disorganized collection
of men, they are unable to make any
defense against attack.

Animals We Never Met.

DR.. N. A. Cobb. an authority on
zoology, declares that there must be
hundreds Of thousands Of species Of
nematodes, or threadworms, more than
nine'tenths Of which are still unknown
to science. OF the parasitic nematodes
infesting vertebrate animals alone It
ls estimated that there are at least
$4,000 species. Insects, mollusks, crus.
taceans and other animal groups are
also much infested, and as rule
a given species Of nematode is peculiar
to a single species of host. Lastly the
species of nematode living free in soil
and water vastly outnumber the par.
asitic species. AS these creatures are
enormously prolific, the number Of In.
dividuals must be quite beyond con-
ception. Doctor Cobb estimates that
in the upper foot of an arabic soil
the number Of nematodes runs to thou
sands of millions an acre.

ers know what they want and

.dLy presents itself. In this
.4se no one ever asked how DR..
Whiteaker stood on the liquor
question, or any other question
that involved good morals. His
past life was sufficient to satisfy
those who knew him.
The point that | am trying to
emphasize is that a good man and
q good cause needs no sinister in

tunately, it is true that certain
classes of men are influenced by

what it will really do in elections
is greatly overestimated. In the
absence of liquor in campaigns
there might not be so much noise

more good sense used in the Sc.

States Senate, is courageous and
firm, and who would follow the
dictates of a Christian conscience
at all times.
Judge j. B. Hannah. of Elliott
county, is the man to whom | re-
fer.
COME TIME since,I wrote in
- this column Of the need
of a change from the fiscal court
control Of the county affairs to
that of county commissioners.
1t was my contention that eight
justices of the peace, widely sep
arated and meeting only occas-
ionaliy. could not. properly man.
age the business of the county.
Morgan county is q three-million
dollar corporation. No private
business corporation would think
Of trSsting the management Of
It's affairs to such q loosely knit
organization, especially when the
selection of the men was made
with SO little thought.
Recently the outgoing fiscal
court met and fixed the salaries
of the county officers elect. The
salary of the county judge was
raised from 5000 to 81, 900 q year
and the school superintendent's
salary from 5000 to ST., The
salary Of the county attorney re-
mains at 5000. These salaries
must remain at that figure dur
ing the incumbency of the in
coming officers, as the new fiscal
court will be powerless to change
them.
Don't understand me to be op-
posed to sufficient salaries. Ibe-
lieve in paying good salaries to
officers. but the salaries should
be conditioned upon the rendi-
tion of adequate service. Under
the present system the officers
can devote much or little time to
their duties, and no one can say
thou SHALL" The system is
wholly wrong. and the next ses-
sion Of the Legislature should BE-
importuned to give US the COM
mission form of county govern
ment.
u -
A new epoch in the manner OF
thinking and living is upon US,
and in the worldwide cataclysm
events move up with rapidity.
Things unheard of yesterday are
the realities of to day. The COM
munity that stands still is crush
ed. From very natural reasons
we will never have an era of low
prices again. Hence, the obvious
thing to do is to adjust ourselves
to the present conditions in a
rational way. The citizens of
this county must have a business
administration of their affairs.
What is the need of the farmer
producing more if he can't mar
ket it? Good roads are the first
essentials to general prosperity,
and we can't have good roads un-
der the fiscal court system.
AS one of the small leaks in the
county treasury that, with hun
dreds of similar ones, 60 to ex-
haust the county revenue with
out adequate return, | desire to
call attention to the care of the
public property.
BY virtue of his Office the jail
er is custodian of the public prop
erty, and it is his ex officio duty
to care for it. The fees of the
office are adequate, as is evident
from the candidates, but in the
largeness of their own hearts and
the peoples pocket book the fis.

Chicago, June 9.-Wheat ran up
swiftly in price today on account of
the government estimate that the
total yield in the United States last
season was only 100000 bushels
more than was harvested in 1916,
Opening prices which ranged from l
cent to Is cents higher, with July
at 2.29 to 2.4O and September at 1876
to 1877, were followed soon by a sharp
reaction from the extreme low fig
ures, the market steadying at cents
advance all around as compared with
Yesterdays finish.
Unfavorable weather led to active
buying of corn. Prices advanced
sharply with the December option
leading. After opening ID to 3 3-4c
higher, the market scored substantial
further gains and then fell PACK
somewhat.
Bull:sh constructions placed on the
government report lifted the value OF
oats.
Provisions went upward with grain.
Lower quotations on hogs were ig-
nOred.
The fact that Kansas and Nebraska
were shown to have a shortage Of
101, 100000 bushels of wheat as COM
pared with last year, tended later to
give new strength to the market. The
close was firm, 7 cents to II cents
net higher with July at 2.35 and Sep
+ TENDER at 2.02.
Fresh upturns in corn ensued and
it was said considerable buying was
on the theory that meats would con
tinue to sell at high prices and that
. corn would therefore be in urgent de-
mand for feeding purposes. The close
. was nervous at gains of 1-2 to Z Il
cents net.

NEW YORK COTTON.

New York, June 9.-Still higher

points on July and Is to Is points on

with the rest of the list. selling at
23.l8 or j points net higher, while
October touched 22.65, making an ad-
vance of 16 points from last night 5
close and of IS points from tn low
level Of yesterday morning. Realizing
checked the advance at these prices
and caused moderate reactions. but
trade buying on a scale down gave
the market a steady undertone.
