ABOUT TWO MILLION
-ONer SIX Million Casualties Alread,
ReDOffetl

-ONer SIX Million Casualties Already
Reported.
New York, Dec. 2O-When the tot
al German casualties are published
the number of dead will be about two
million, according to the Cologne
Gazette of November 25, a copy Of
which has been received here. Up to
Oct. 25 the total casualties report
ed were 6,O66,796, of whom more
than 4.75O.OOO were Prussians. The
total includes the naval casualties.
which were 10000, comprised of
more than $4,000 dead, more than
$4,000 missing and nearly $4,000
wounded.

October "a. according to the Cologn
Gazette, placed the number of dead
at 1.611,104, the number of wound
Ell at 3,6S3.143 and the missing at
f2.522. The paper says that of
the number reported missing 1SO,-
600 may be considered dead
The Cologne paper uses the word
appalling" in describing the casual
ties among the officers. The total on
October "a included 44,70O officers
killed S2,460 officers wounded and
1850 missing, total of 14O,76O

points out. exceeds the total casual
ties of Germany in tho Franco
Prussian war Of 1870 when the total
losses were 129,6OS.
The total on October "a, which
did not include casualty lists from
the fighting on the western front af-
ter that date, nor the German losses
in Palestine, was apportioned by the
paper as follows among the various
army contigents:
Prussia, 100000 dead, assassin
wounded. 616139 missing. Total A.
7SO,87O.
Bavaria 150.65s dead. 363,823

.7h round numbers. our income tax
paying portion Of the population tot
ais less than 100000 individuals and
less than 350.D0O corporations.
These figures prove two things
that there are not as many prosper
GUS people, based on the income tax
returns. as many imagined; and that
there are more of the less prosperous
than was supposed.
On the other hand a charmed cir
Gle of our income tax payers have
to pay very heavily because wealth
is exceptionally concentrated in their
hands.
For instance, ii is stated that zoo
people in this country made more
than S1.OOO.OOO in 1916; no one
knows how many became million
aires since then.
1t is considered disgraceful to
make millions out of the war-but
some hundreds of people in the coun-
try have done so. They are included
in the 100000 paying income taxes.
The real Significance of our income
tax list. however. is overlooked if
merely the total of individuals and
corporations is considered.
The Ceal -, Significance is not the
total comprised in the charmed cir
Gle but the total of wealth they
represent.
NO more convincing argument
) against the unequal distribution of
wealth was ever presented to the no
tice OF the nation than the income tax
returns.
Less than one-third OF one per
cent. Of the population pay income
taxes: but q goodly percentage of
those that do must pay millions.

ROAD WORKMANSHIP.

In articles In various publications
ON road building. frequent reference
10 made to materials, some OF them
patented. The experience has been in
Dillon county. however. that not on
" must there be good materials in
roal building, but the workmanship
ts just as important. In hundreds of
counties roads that were put down
only four or five years ago-at the
time guaranteed" to wear 20 years
-are already virtually worn out, es-
pecialiy ON the more important
thoroughfares. County authorities
have como to the conclusion that in
the future every dollar expended for
road work must give honest returns.
The Dillon herald. [volume] (Dillon, S.C.) 1894-????, 1918-12-26

which is just ahead in the future,
and 10. in fact now practically within
their grasp. While there are too
many farmers for the activities OF
these meddlers to amount to any
thing, the number of farmers who
are willing to take q reasonable prof
1t Is also too great for the few who
might be willing to practice any
thing like extortion.
The official record covering the
distribution of negroes has an inter-
esting bearing on this prospective
supply OF American cotton. These
records show that i'm 1910 they made
up 1913 per cent of the population
Of the South. In the larger cotton
producing States the percentage was
32.6. The ratio of increase of the
white race. which is faster, points to
this difference being now negroes %
per cent. white 70 per cent. The per-
centage OF other races Is so small as
to be negligible.
During the last ten years diversi-
fled farming has attracted an in
creasing number Of white people, SO
1t Is entirely probable that now rs
per cent OF the agricultural products
OF the South are produced by white
labor. This Is rather plainly brought
out as it relates to cotton by some
of the heavy cotton producing
States having a very small negro pop
ulation. Texas and Oklahoma, for
instance. averaged only IA per cent
in 1910.
These records will no doubt. be
to many. Since they show
that results depend so largely upon
the superior initiative of the white
race they justify an optimistic out
look as to an adequate supply of
American cotton. What these rec
ords indicate as to the prospective
range of prices is most interesting.
You see the low prices, which pre-
vailed before the war~were based on
economic slavery; this has been plain
ly shown by the estimates of the cos.
OF produ ction which were based on
labor at SIS per month. One might
be justified in assuming that the
negroes would continue 10 put IN
with these conditions 1t would be
however, absolute folly to assume
that the white man will.

profit to expand his business, So must
the laborer engaged in growing cot

will induce him to steadily extend
himself in its production. Not to rec

trade that this is so, since 1t will
clearly go long way towards insur-
in this steady increase in the sup
ply of raw cotton, which is vital. A
lot Of people, who are ignorant and
aliens. attempting to determine for
the farmer the cost of production

This matter of cost, profit and

stability and, upon the whole. will
be a most constructive influence in
