old parties fight out their great
sham battles with about the Is mil |
lionth part of an inch difference as

Let prejudice DEPART then put
two and two together and see if
you cannot get out of it. |

CONGRESSMAN BENTON McMILLIN,
Of Tennessee, has never prospered
in his aspirations toward political
enhancement since he lent himself
to the scheme of protection "Dern-
ocrats" to defeat Mills for Speaker,
the success of which inaugurated
that series of misadventures that
eliminated in the complete down
fall and disintegration of the old
Democratic party. McMillin was
but slightly rewarded for his throw
down of the tariff reform move
ment. He was displaced by Bailey,
of Texas, as leader of the silver
Democracy in Congress. He was
defeated for U. S. Senator. Real
izing that Bailey has the call for
the Speakership il his party is sue
cessful this fall, McMillin announ-
ces for the Governorship.

Origin OF the Term ssCotton.

10 the Editor Of the State: 1t is an
interesting fact that we have in con
slant use in South Carolina, and indeed
in other southern States, !. woriz which
is of Arabic origin. This word is ia
miliar to all of our peOple--it is used
moro in the fall than any other season
of the year-at this season it is used q
great deal by the white farmer, the
merchant and the, negro laborer. My
this word is Hcotton.n It comes to us
from the Italian ':cotone," and this in
turn is derived from tho Arabic
"kotOn." / cannot account for this
word among the language CT the Aryan
races unless tho following is the so
LUTON: %
Spain was the first European country
in which cotton was cultivated. 1t was
introduced into tiiat country by the
progressive Moors in the tenth century
and about the spEle time it was also
introduced into Sicily. | suppose the
Muurs iwilv wrIy " nIlIiUii 0s 0sf ttiiiv ,aTii-
bian race) continued the Arabian name
of tho plant when trey introduced it
into Spain, and thus this interesting
word has become stamped into our
language. 1t is an interesting subject
of study to linguists to consider the
fact that wc who live thousands of
miles from Arabia and have nothing in
common with that country should have
as one of our most common words one
Of Arabian origin-oac, too, that wss
probably carried to Europe hundreds
Of years ago by the dark-skinned and
warlike MoDrs. Tynd -. -. - - ls1alaad
While am ON the subject of this
word, will mention that this is the
centennial year of cotton culture in
what is now Sumter county. We have
two accounts about the first cnltiva-
ton of cotton in this country, and as
they vary q little will give them both.
III an essay on the cotton plant. writ
ten by Governor Whitmnrsh b.. Sea-
brook, it is mentioned that John May
rant and Asbury Sylvester first grew
cotton in the high hills Of Santee in
1708. In an address delivered by Sam
uel DuBose in the lower part Of the
State, during the year 1853, occurs this
statement: "CottOn was first grown in
the district of Sumter, by John May
rant in 1888"
