HUN HATE PLAINLY SHOWN
War Were Worthy of the German
at His Best.

How the Germans regarded us in
the period of the war with Spain is set
forth by Andrew d. White, ex-ambas-
sador to Germany, in his autobogra-
ply published by the Century com
pany.
ION my settling down to the busl-
ness of the embassy (1997-1903)." he
writes, ut appeared that the changes
in public sentiment since my former
stay as minister, IS years before, were
great indeed. AT that time German
feeling was decidedly friendly to the
United States. But all this was now
changed. During the Spanish
war it was especially virulent, their
newspapers being full of statements
'and arguments to show that corrup-
tion was the main characteristic of
our government, cowardce Of our
army and navy, and hypocrisy of our
people. Various newspapers in
Germany charged our government with
a wonderful assortment of high
crimes and misdemeanors but, hap
PLY, in their eagerness to cover us
with obloquy, they frequently refuted
each other.
THUS they one day charged us with
having prepared long beforehand to
crush Spain and to rob her of her
West Indian possessions, and the next
day they charged us with plunging into
war suddenly, recklessly, utterly care
less of consequences. One moment
they insisted that American sailors
belonged to deteriorated race of
mongrels and could never stand
against pure-blooded Spanish sailors;
ana the next moment, that we were
crushing the noble navy of Spain by
brute force. Various presses INDUCED
In malignant prophecies the Ameri-
cans would find Spain a very hard nut
to crack; Spanish soldiers would drive
the American mongrels into the sea ;
when Cervera got out his fleet the
American fleet would stink away;
American ships, built under a regime
OF corruption, would be found fur
nished with sham plating, sham guns
and sham supplies of every sort. Il
Against President Mckinley every sort |
of iniquity was charged. One day he |
was an idiot; another day the most !
cunning of intriguers; at one moment !
an overbearing tyrant anxious to rush !
into war; at another a coward fearing |
war"

FROM PECULIAR MALADY

Mr.. Lawrence Brownlee, of Due
West, is in a critical condition at An
derson county hospital suffering from
hiccoughs, brought on by an opera
ton for appendicitis, when the ether,
it is supposed, gave him the hic-
coughs, which the doctors have been
unable to stop.
Mr.. Rrownlee is brother of Mr..
J. I. Brownlee, cashier Of the Farmers
& Merchants Bank and is we'll known
by many Andersonians. His condi-
tion is reported as somewhat better
today by attending physicians, though
the hiccoughs have not been stopped.
Cases of this kind; it. is. understood
are not common, and in severe cases,
the malady is often fatal.-Anderson

PROSPECTS, GOOD, .....
FOR "WET" SPELLS
IN UNITED STATES

Washington, Oct. 29.-Nobody on
either side of the treaty fight in
the senate will admit the slightest
concern over whether or not there is
a wet spell of month or SO in the
United. States prior to the enforce
ment Of fhe constitutional amend
ment of the prohibition Of the liquor
traffic in January, but the truth is
the prospects of brief season of
wetness bound up with the prospects
for a ratification of the peace treaty,
the White House having announced
that as soon as the German treaty is
out of the way peace will be pro-
claimed and the ban on wartime
in liquor will be formally
ended.
What are the prospects for an
early ratification of the treaty? Very
good. The senate is weary Of the de-
bate, not quite as weary as the coun-
try, but approaching the same point,
which means a vote at an early date.
Moreover, the time for the ending
of the special session Of congress
called to meet the clamor of the Re.
publican party for such a session, is
drawing to a close and the political
sharps on both sides of the action in
the senate and house are beginning to
take inventory of what has been done.

advice as to what trees shou.d-pfefer-
ably: be used as a substitute fuel dur
ing the anticipate emergency.
"A cord Of either oak or hickory,
declares Charles Lathrop Pack; ptesi-
dent Of the association, is equal in
caloric value to that Of ton Of an
thracite and these. are, therefore,
much to be preferred to any other
trees. With wood, however, quoted
at present prices as a substitute is
almost prohibitive. Such a situation,
said Mr.. Pack, emphasizes very vitality
the need Of a strong national forest
policy of which the country long has
been in need and furthermore brings
to light the fact that today Ameri-
can forests are being replenished at
only about one-third the rate at. which
they are being cut over for lumber
Or destroyed by fire. each year,
= In striking contrast to the exist
ence of-such a condition in this coun-
try, Mr.. Pack pointed out that in

suit of a careful forest supervision
