A PROPHECY OF 1886
MADE BY BISMARCK
Historic Document Has Just Been
Made Available To The
Associated Press

Berlin, Apr. A prophecy bear
ing on Germany's present situation
was made by Bismarck in a letter,
hitherto unpublished, addressed to
the Prussian minister of war, Gen
eral Bronsart Won Schellendorf, and
dated December "a, 1886. The his
toric document has just been made
available to The Associated Press.
'Tf God wills that we shall be de-
feated in the next war, then there
can be no doubt that our victorious
opponents will halt at no expedient
to prevent US from getting on our
feet again at least not for a gen.
,eration-just as they did in 1907"
the Iren Chancellor wrote.
He warned his ministers that Ger
many would be called upon to de-
fend both her eastern and western
frontiers in the "next war" as the
new alignment of European powers
precluded the probability of Ger
many being able to count on Russian
and English assistance, as was the
case in 1s14,Iwhen in addition to the
support of those nations, Germany
found an unexpected ally in the
Russian winter which destroyed
Napoleon's army. The letter added:
"The present German empire
would not remain intact after a lost
campaign, as witness the Reichstag
election and partisan 'acerbities
which prove how readily patriotism
is forgotten when party interests
find out it is desirable to court favor
abroad.
"A victorious france would find
our opposition parties equally as SER
vile as did Napoleon and Rhenish
league in his day."

FARM WORK DELAYED
Heavy Rains Cause Let UP in Plant
ing Crops.

Washington, April S.--.Heavy rains
in the Central and Western portions
of the cotton belt delayed farm work
and but little cotton was planted dur
ing the last week in those sections,
the governments weekly weather and
crop review, issued today. said.
Planting is backward II Texas,
the review said, and little or none
has as yet been seeded in the lower
Mississippi Valley. Conditions were
more favorable in the Atlantic coast
States and planting made good prog
ress in that area. This work has beer
finished in parts of Florida and the
early planting is up to good stand
in, Southern Georgia. Planting was
extended during the week to Central
North Carolina and Southeastern
North Carolina, which is somewhat
earlier than the average season..
Truck crops have been seriously
damaged in Southern Florida by dry
weather, says the report, and some
harm has been done in Arkansas by
the frost of April l and heavy rains
necessitated replanting in the lower
Mississippi Valley. Otherwise the
week was mostly favorable for truck
crops.
Early fruit trees were reported in
bloom northward to Maryland and
the southern portions of Indiana
and Illinois. Apples r blooming in
Tennessee and North Carolina.
Peaches are setting well in Georgia
and are mostly in good condition
in North Carolina. Frost damage to
fruit during the week was neglible.

STATE MAY LOSE
MANY THOUSANDS
Automobile License Laws Are Not
Being. Enforced Highway Of
hcials Think.

Columbia, April 6.-South Caro-
lima may lose something over $780,
900 because the legislature did not
provide for the enforcement of the
motor vehicle license laws of the
state, according to figures compiled
yesterday by highway department Of
fcials for the close of business on the
first quarter of the year.
This big loss is now staring the
department in the face, and unless
some action is taken by the counties,
there will hardly be a chance to get
the money. The loss comes about
; from the decrease in motor vehicle
registrations.
To date, including figures for the
close of March, only 1881 automo-
biles have been registered and this is
a decrease of 1892 automobiles
alone from last year. The time for
registering machines ended February
/ and the highway department be-
lieves these 15,842 automobiles are
somewhere in South Carolina" with
out license plates. The average cost
for a license for a car is $3.50 and
this gives a loss Of $11S,S15 because
of the failure to have inspectors to
enforce the law.
A total of 5,713 trucks have been
registered 50 far and this gives a de-
crease of 1884 from last year. The
average for a truck license is SIT
and this means a loss Of S25,228.
Only 23 trailers have been regis
tered to date, this being a decrease
of SO from last year. Trailer licenses
are sold for S12 and this brings a
1882 loss.
So far only 375 motorcycles have
been licensed, which is a loss of 3S5
from last year and at So each, a
monetary loss of $1,555.
Dealers have dropped in number
also, only 416 being registered so
far. This is a loss of ~S6,204.90.
This gives a total of 1851, 834.90
that the state stands to lose this
year, according to highway officials,
who are not very we'll pleased with
this prospect now facing them. A
strong effort to get the counties to
enforce the license laws and thereby
get the money. is being made and
this may have a good result, al
though nothing definite has as yet
been accomplished except in n or
two counties. Last year two inspec-
tors were maintained and they
brought in thousands Of dollars that
would very likely have otherwise
been lost. The salary was $1,000
each. No money was provided by the
legislature to employ inspectors this
year.
Total receipts to date from the
sale of motor vehicle licenses have
reached $613,361.76. This includes
postage.

INSURANCE DRIVE
FOR EX-SERVICE MEN

The United States Veterans Bu-
rcau has designated the week of
April 10-17 as Insurance Week. The
object of the Bureau is to induce all
ex-service men to reinstate their gov
eminent insurance. A great many of
the ex-service men have not kept up
their insurance since the war. Those
having the matter in charge believe
this government insurance to be a
valuable asset to the e~x-service men,
and it is hoped that by the designa-
ton of an Insurance Week during
which time the drive will be made to
see all ex-service men who have drop
ped their insurance, that most if not
all of those who have done so, may
be induced to reinstate their insur-
ance.
All ex-service men without disa-
bilities may reinstate their policies
by paying three months premiums,
n premium to cover arrears, n to
cover present due premium and one
premium in advance.
Men with hazard disabilities may
reinstate their policies by paying all
lapsed premiums and five per cent.
interest thereon, to be compounded
annually. Any eX-service mar may be
examined free of cost by the salaried
physician of the United States Veter-
ans Bureau.
The amount of insurance for which
reinstatement may be had must be
not less than $1,000 and not more
than the amount originally granted
the insured.
There are six kinds of convertible
insurance issued by. the government
as follows:
% Ordinary life policy.
(2) Twenty payment life policy.
(3) Thirty payment life policy.
() Twenty payment endowment
policy.
(5) Thirty payment endowment
policy.
(6) Endowment policy at 62
years of age.
Further information may be had
by writing the Sub-District Manager
S. c. Groeschel, 907 Loan and Ex-
change Bank Building, Columbia, S.
c., Care of the U. S. Veterans Blu
reau.
Mr.. James A. Broom, Plac. Assist
ants Office, was in Abbeville yes
terday locking after this matter. He
may be reached at the same address,
and will be glad to give any ex-ser-
vice man needed information about
the matter of his insurance.
No relief which the government
could give the ex-service men would
be comparable to the matter of their
insurance, and it is a matter of re-
greet that so many of them, from one
cause DR. another, have allowed their
policies to lapse. 1t is to be hoped
that every eX-service man in Able
vile County will take advantage Of
the opportunity now offered to have
his policy reinstated in one of the
forms proposed by the government.
