The O,iGsn and History Of the sons Of

From he Detroit Advertiser.
Few orders OF the present day are attract

tb1Al sketch OF their origin cannot fail to
Interest the reader.
The history OF the ancient and honorable
order OF the Sons Of Malta is inseparably
conuectM with that Of the Knights Of Malta,
a celebrated religious military fraternity, to
which they gave origin. and Of which at one
time, the Sons Of Malta formed q compo-
nent part The ancient Sons Of Malta were
known - the Brothers or Hosptalers Of St.
John. Al early q 1918, some merchants
OF Amalf, In Naples, established q church
at Jerusalem ssd built monastery which
they dedicated 10 St. John the Baptist. II
was the duty OF the monks, who were called
alter their patron saint, Brothers Of st.
John, 10 AXE care Of the poor and ack, and
10 general 70 assist pilgrims Such is the
origin Of the Sons OF Malta, the aucieut
brothers Of St. John being parent stock Of
the Sons Of Malta Of the present day At
this period, (i0l6) the order was possessed
OF no military character, bat devoted itself
entirely TO works Of charity and brotherly
love. As yesrs passed on. the order obtain
ed important possession, and at the begin
ming Of the twelfth century il was frat reg
ularly instituted . military order by its prin-
cipal, Raymund du Pny, bat retaining all
10 hemer laws.
From this innovation upon the early prin-
c'p's Of the order, BY which military char
scter was impressed upon il, the celebrated
Knights Of Malta took their rise, and there
ai>es the members Of the order, besides the
performance Of their vows OF chastity, chari-
ty, obcifnce and poverty were also bound
70 aid 10 defending the charch. by force
of arms, sgainst the infde,s. aud gard the
Holy S<palcare-" From that time, al.

order wK 20, lost sigh, OF by the members,

How TO MAKE A HORSE DRAw.-I once
knew a man that bought fine-lookirg sor-
rel mare that was as false as horse could
be. but he finally cured her to perfection in
the following manner: He geared her to
the cart, and went to the corn field to get a
load of pumpkins. After he had got some
ten or Il dozen on. she thought she had too
much load. and refused to pull. He coaxed
aud petted her for somo time, but all to No
purpose he next got a stick and thumPed
and thraShed with the same success, and
then thought he would try another plan
He got a wheelbarrow. and wheeled pump
ki.s enough to make full load, and put
them ia the cart, when he took her by the
head again, but it was no GO. He then
started home, and concluded she might pull
the load of pumpkins or stand there till the
day of Judgment. But when the sun began
to get low. she began to think about he:
supper. and started for home. passing skill
fully through three sets of bars. and arry-
ed at the barn in safety with her load. He
put her in the stable, and fed her as if no.
thing had happened. She refused to pull
two ether times, but she received the same
treatment each time-ss she found it was
no use. for she had to pull the load in the
end. After that she became as good q
beast to werk as ever was hitehed.

A NEW RAILROAD PROJECT.

A correspondent of the Raleigh Register,
writing from Haywood, Chatham county.
says:
1.-THE only thing lacking to connect
every mile of railway in the State with the
Deep River Coalfields, is 81 miles of rail-
road track; and. in my humble opinian this
should be built as a branch of the N. C..
Read, as the same rolling stock would an
swer for both roads. In financial crisis
like this, economy is one of the first laws IF
nature, and by building this 81 miles under
the charter of the n. c. Railroad, there
would be no outlay except the track.
Leaving the n. &. Railroad at Mr. Frank
Pages, miles nearly due west IF Raleigh,
you travel over level ridge about II miles
to the mouth of Haw River. without crossing
amy wafer courses where bridging would
be necessary. through dense forest of vir-
gin long leaf pine, and parallel with these
streams SO celebrated for their heavy
growth of oak and other valuable timber.
The read could be built las was inform
ed by an Engineer who passed over said
route in Company with Maj. w. Gwynn)
for $4,000 30 $4,000 per mile. which
believe would be sufficient. as the grading
would be very light. and the right of way
would cost comparatively nothing. With
the late reduction in iron. the whole cost
would not exceed S275.UOO, which would
place the above coalfelds in direct Com
munication with Wilmington, Beaufort

For the Democrat.

MR. EDITOR: | have read an article quo
phia. in which the writer attempts to define
the English word politics, by stating that it
is derived from the Greek word polos. which
signifies city; and that therefore. the civil
policy of city gave origin to the word
politics. Unfortunately. however, for this
etymologist, the Greek work polos, when
used as a common nsun, signifies a hinge
or pivot. en- which anything turns; and
when used as proper noun, tits the name of
city in Boeotia. near Tenagra; and as the
Boeotians were proyerbially dull, stupid
race, it is not by any means probable that
politics originated with them, especially
when we consider that. in that case, the
rules of photography would require The
word to be spelled polotics, instead of
politics.
The Greek word polls signifies city. !
whole country as dependent on. and called
after its city; commonwealth, free State.
The Greek word Potiteid, in its primary
sense, signifies the relation in which citi-
zen stands to the State. the condition and
rights of a citizen, citizenship. daily life Of
citizen. In its secondary sense it signi-
ties the life and business of a statesman,
hence government. administration. In it's
tertiary sense. it signifies civil polity, con-
stitutian, "a form of government, especially
well-ordered Republican government.
The Greek word politics signifies a citizen,
freeman. In its secondary sense. it signi-
fies belonging to. or BETTING statesman,
fitted for state affairs; aud from this noun
is derived the Greek adjective poLitikos, u
political man. a statesman; aud polifika,
which. with the Greek article ia prefxed
to it, signifies state affairs. politics.
L have thus shown the origin eff the word
politics, by tracing the shades of meaning
of the Greek noun politeia. and the Greek
adjective potitikos. thinking that the sub
ject might be interesting to some of the
many readers of yeur valuable paper. A.

The Wilmington Journal has an excel
lent and well-timed article on the iuapor-
lance of securing democratic majority in
the next Legislature. Members of the G en-
eral Assembly are to be elected next Au-
gust as well as Governor, and the Jour
nal cautions the party against paying too
much attention to the Gubernaterial con-
test to the neglect of the other and more
important pranch of the State Government
One or two L. S. Senators will be to
elect at the next session. besides other
Offices are to be filled, and it therefore be-
heoves democrats to look to this matter
and see that nothing is lost by neglect.
The distribut ionists will endeavor to
secure majority in the Legislature. We
should not be at all surprised if that was
Mr. McRae's object in going through the
State at this time. 1t is true, he says he
is merely defending himslf, but that will
not do when the fact is patent that he made
the first attack.
Let the democratic party in the different
counties bring out their strongest and best
men-faithful and reliable democrats and
use every effort to secure q democratic
majority in the Legislature.
