Is THE WORD "AMERICA" PERU
vIAN?-Dr. John Murray has made
most interesting contribution to
the discussion of the origin of the
name America. AS this name is a
personal matter, it may prove in
teresting to our readers to know
the Doctors position. He points
out that the oldest but one of the
maps of the New World bears the
name Tamarique upon it. Even
to-day the title "Sierra Amerrique"
is given to q mountain range in
Nicaragua, once inhabited By
tribe called Amerriques. The
sacred books of the Peruvians show
that the national name of this once
important race was Amarca, or
America. Tamarique is, therefore,
supposed to stand for Terra-Ameri-
que (the land of America.)
In the day of Vespucci, nick
names abounded. They were given
to nearly all, on all manner of pre-
texts and for many reasons. The
Christian name of Vespucci was
Amerigo. What could have been
more natural than the slight altera-
ton to America Vespucci? And
the scholarly DR.. Murray believes
that instead of his giving his name
to the Western Hemisphere, the
hemisphere's most ancient title was
bestowed upon him by alteration.
We have often felt sad for Column
bus sake. His contemporaries
showed the Genoisse scant courtesy.
And Que has wondered that even
his name was not given to the land
he discovered. But il America is
older than he or Vespucci this re-
proach is removed.

WOMAN The GREATEST SUFFER

WOMAN The GREATEST SUFFER-
ER.-Woman is always the greatest
sufferer from evils Of intemperance.
Language is powerless to describe,
nay. the Imagination can hardly
conceive, the agony Of a sensitive,
high-spirited, loving woman at See
ing one whom she has loved and
revered dragged down to ruin and
shame from the height upon which
her pride gloried to behold him.
Nov aHd sken q wall is heard, or .
moan that can on longsEe erepress-
ed; but that which comes to our
knowledge and is made visible to
our eyes is but the faintest shadow
of the universal misery that exists
in society. There is not a social
circle that is untainted by the pre-
sence of the drink curse. hardly a
household within whose privacy it
has not thrust its destroying hand.
1t lies heavy upon the home and all
its most sacred interests but the
hidden depths of the misery it has
wrought will never be revealed. So
long as concealment is possible to a
woman, she hides the ravages it
makes in her heart and home, stiff
ing the cry of bitter despair, and
writhing with brave front under an
agony that none but God and her
own soul will ever know.

We have received g. circular letter
from j. K. Oglesby in reference to
sn Encyclopedias Britannica, publish
ed by Chicago firm, the Werner
Company. It seems that the book
was being circulated through Texas
and sold rapidly. The Dick Bowling
Camp, composed Of Confederate vete-
rams, discovered that the book grossly
nisrepresented the South, and accord
ingly exposed it. The Dick Bowling
Camp requested the. cooperation of
the Fulton County Camp, of Georgia,
in preventing its sale to the Southern
people. The Georgia veterans made
made an investigation, and. after the
report Of the committee, passed reso-
lutions condemning the book in the
severest terms. They say that not
only does it do the South q great in
justice, but is net fac smile copy of
the Encyclopedias Britannica as it
purports to be. The camp has tried to
get the Atlanta papers to publish the
resolution, but they declined to do it
because they had agreed under a con-
tract not to publish anything detri-
mental to the book.
The book does grossly misrepresent
the south if it does state that the south
brought on the war merely to hold
slaves as property. The great princi,
pld which caused the south to resist
the Federal army was to defend their
constitutional rights. The south msin-
tains that the constitution is COM
pact, capable Of being annulled at the
will of state whenever any of the
reserved rights of the State should be
encroached upon. Ignoring the con-
stitutional questions which brought in
the war is a great injustice to the
South, or the people should not en-
courage the circulation of such false
history to be repd by the children of
the men who defended our rights.

DISPENSERS SHORT.
Nearly All of Them Found to Be In Ar
Ecars.
Columbia ReqisteT.

Columbia Register.
It will be surprise to the people OF
the State to learn that great many OF
the dispensers are short in their &C.
counts. The amounts of the deficits
vary, but in some cases it as much as
81 800. It is a serious condition OF
affairs and the State Board of Control
is to take energetic measures to pre-:
The cumbersome system of book
keeping is in part responsible for
these shortages but even when that is
considered the number Of dispensers
behind in their accounts is suspicious.
Gov. Evans in speaking of the mat
ter yesterday said: "We find that
nearly every dispenser is behind in his
accounts. The various boards of con-
troll are being organized owing to the
fact that County Supervisors by the
last law are made members of the
boards. After the reorganization is
completed every dispenser must get a
new bond. The auditor Of each
county will have to certify that the
sureties are worth twice the amount
of the bond and it will then have to
be approved by the county boards.
Then the State board will have to ap-
prove it, after which the dispenser
may begin business.
"Inspectors are now at work exam
lining the accounts of dispensers, and
any dispenser who is found in arrears
must prove himself clear, settle the
amount or action will be taken on his
bond. We can't afford to have men
in charge of the States business who
allow themselves to come in arrears
from any cause. Hereafter all such,
upon the reorganization of the boards,
will be sumnarily discharged. In
spectors have full authority to take
charge of the assets of any dispensary
not conducted according to law.
The Governor stated that new
system Of book keeping had been ar
ranged by Mr.. Seth Scruggs and that
it would be ready by last night. In
further talk about the matter the Gov
ernor intimated that the board was
considering the plan of putting all
under the bond of some
guarantee association.
Mr. N. Il. Mobley, the dispenser at
this place, says that the books of the
here and at Ridgeway will
be found correct when the inspector
comes around.
