He will shake his mane and disperse

Spaniards arc brutes, though the

for sonic time
Now that war is on between this

xi “rich man’s war and a poor man’s

-using them in our bite war were not
the lighting men who so grandly ii
iustrated Southern valor and patriot

The new war bonds are to be is
sued in sums of fifty dollars and up
wards ; such facilities are to be given
that people who desire can subscribe
-through post-offices, baitks subtreasu

del s or registered letters. I u case the
• ubscriptions exceed the amount of
the bonds, as is likely to be the case,
the scaling down process will be ap

Plant Food Crops.
The (’nitf)Nicu? has within the
past two months repeatedly
.its friends and readers who till the
soil, that the planting of a large
ton crop this year under any
stances would be unwise. It lias
time and again milled attention to
tiie fact that in the event of war be
tween the United Stales and
tlicrc would be no demand for cot -
ton at any prim, while food crops
all kinds would tie in demand at
very high nrices. We have with
gratification noted the fact that .mini
lie i>i of farmers in Lee, Sumter anil
other counties have plowed up their
.cotton seed already planted and are
planting grain instead. War is now
a stern reality. It is upon, us and
no man can say how long the
gie will las’. Fortunately, it is
Net ti"i late to plow up the cotton
and replace it with food crops.

Tbe UiinoMi'i.K has freijiiently
been asked as to the respective pow
ers of tlie principal navies - of the
world, and especially as to the corn
partitive strength of those of Spain
and America. \Ye have taken some
pains to collect the necessary data
and herewith present it in succinct
form for the benefit of our readers,
Faeli listion s relative measure of
stivnytli on the limb seas is
ly shown by the above diagram,
Tiie contrasting lines show at a
glance how the small squadrons of
hoastfnl Spain rank with the more
formidable fleets of Japan. Italy and
the United States; how these coni
pure with those of Russia, (lermany
and France; ami how completely the
latter are overshadowed by the enor
mous navy of (livat Britain
To be exact nvc give the number
() f battleships, armored cruisers and
lighting vessels belonging to
each nation, exclusive of auxiliary
cruisers, harbor defence boats, etc.
Spain, :>5: Japan. 70; Italy, 70;
I’nited States, fit); Russia, !l>7; tier

iilti.
It will be seen that the [’nited
States lias nearly three times as
many ships as Spain. Russia has
few more than the United States,
lint not quite so many as Germany.
France, which ranks second as a
naval power, lias almost twice as
many war vessels as Germany,
though less than two thirds the mini
bev possessed by England, which is
the greatest maritime power on the
globe. It is very gratifying to the
Uiiuoxu t.k to be aide to add that
England L the staunch friend of the
United Stales, and should the pow
ers of Europe intervene in our war
with Spain, England's mighty fleet
would he marshalcd'oii the side of

No Cause For Alarm.
The (Iiikonk'i.k lias heard of a .
number , ot persons . in tins section— ;
mostly nervous women—who are ex
( >(.< j '.. V e]y alarmed over the breaking
() ut of hostilities, and are now ex
ot mmd ,
perieilCllig more distress
concerning what they fear .may hap-'
pen than they will ever sutler over
anything i.ikklv to happen as a re
sult of the war. Their fears have
been excited by pessimists and cynics
who “are never happy except when
they J art: miserable,’’ or making some
one else mistHiJili'. tind an* now in
the very ecstaey of goulish glee in
anticipation <>i all sorts of calamities
to come in the train of .Mars. These
prophets of evil are now predicting
that all our young men will be sent
oft to the army, and the State be
given over to the lawless and vicious
classes who will desecrate our homes
and commit all maimer of crimes
and outrages.
Such fears are groundless The
whole state of Ueorgia is only re
quired to furnish a little over three
thousand men for the army, and ful
ly' three fourths'llf these will be sup
plied by the cities and large towns.
There will not lie an average of more
than six or eight men per county
withdrawn from the rural districts;
so there is no reason to apprehend
that our homes will lie unprotected.
Indeed it is perfectly certain that
j life am! property will be safer dur
ing the war than at any previous
time, as home guards will be orgau
iz.ed in every community, and the
viciously inclined will be more close
ly watched than ever before.
't here are no grounds either to ap
prebend that the privations and
hardships of the civil war will be re
pouted. Then it was section against
section, neighbor against neighbor,
brother against brother, and the
trail of death and desolation was at
every man's door. Xonv from ocean
to ocean and from the lakes to the
gulf we arc one people—friends and
brothers. It is a foreign foe we arc
called upon to meet, and the scene
of action will be on foieign land,
hundreds of miles away. Xo enemy
set foot on Ueorgia soii and no
body in the State will hear a cannon
tired during the war, unless it be at
some point on the coast.
But will it not make times dread
fully hard? some one may ask. Not
necessarily. Meat and breadslutTs
will be higher and the cost of living
will to that extent lie increased.
This will Ik hard on the cotton
planters. But if our farmers are
wise, the advance in prices will he
blessing to them; for thev can, if
they will, produce all their own pro
visions and u surplus to srll at a
p^ifit. The vast army of Uncle
'am and a million and a half of
Unbans are to be fed. It should be
a good year for the Georgia farmer,
Take the UmtONin.E's advice,
once. Don't worry about the j
and hard times. Speed the plow 1
.Make all the food for man and beast
ve.u can. Let the man who never
reads a paper and doesn't believe
anything the papers contain anyhow, j
raise cotton. Raise hogs and cattle,
