GROWTH OF LANGUAGE.
Words Once TabOOed Are Likely to
Become Suddenly Popular.

Words Once TaboOed Are Likely to
Become Suddenly Popular.
Language is being made so fast in
these days that it is unsafe for purists
to formulate lists of words that are I'M
fit for polite use. A writer in the Lon
don Academy contends that many
words rejected of the purists are really
rough hewn stones that are necessary
to fill crevices in the language and that
the critic who would exclude them is
ignorant of his calling. William Cullen
Bryant's long list, published many
years ago and widely consulted ever
since, The Academy critic objects to as
a bag filed with bones of contention
and liable to rattle whenever 1t Is
touched.
The difficulty seems to be that while
any reputable list of this kind is pretty
sure to be authoritative in part evidence
Of use of forbidden words by some
great author or some author of grow
ing fame is likely to crop up at any
time and put the seal of responsibility
upon any mongrel word that one has
been accustomed to point the finger of
scorn at. If you find Swift, Gray or
other master employing a word that
some picayune carper for verbal pre-
cision is trying to ostraciZe, you feel
like associating with that word. Be
sides, some of these rude but healthy
offshoots of the language are doing
special duty and after proving their
fitness for it will be just as fit for good
verbal society as the rest.
What is the difference between an
officer and an official? "OfficiaP' is
nothing better than lame cur of a
word in the estimation of some people,
but we are told now that it is perfectly
proper, that it has its place; is, in fact,
the square peg for the square hole. An
officer is a man of recognized badges
and known duties; an Official is a
man of more disguised and indefinite
power. The work of society, the sub
division of labor, has been making this
distinction, while you, in your igno-
rance. didn't know what was going on.
An 'officer" appears on parade ground
or on deck in uniform; an Official
comes forth from a quiet office wearing
a frock coat and top hat, and he can
make you feel he is an official If you
run up against that reserve power of
which you see no outward manifesto
ton in spurs or gold lace. General
Miles is an Officer" John r. Rookie
Teller is an official" Verbal purists

of the reporters did to get it. Alschu-
Ter was in Chicago for week looking
after his candidacy and fell in with
many new acquaintance. 1 was in
the hotel corridor one night when he
came in with Smooth Pat the famous
confidence man, who has operated in
Chicago for years. AlSchuler had him
by the arm and was talking to him ap-
parently about something very inter-

drinks together and both were Jolly

afterwards saw that Pat had him in

They are far from humble, as their

beaten into submission, but that will
not prevent them still snarling their

| he met in the corridor of the Sheldon
hotel a few evenings ago, while off du-
| ty.
4 am at the depot when all
trains arrive and depart" he contin-
| ued. land many strange things trans
plre in the crowds that come and go. -
Only day or two has elapsed since
l witnessed a scene among the pas
sengers that wrung my heart. There
was poor woman there evidently in
the last stages of consumption. She
had her child. a boy of about four with
her and her mother was also present.
1t seems that the sick woman's hus-
band had been neglecting his family
and was an all round failure as a
man. The wife wanted to get back to
New Orleans where her parents reside
and had written to her father for the
money. 1t seems he had sent her
enough TO buy three tickets, one for
herself, her husband and her mother
At the last minute it transpired that
the husband had blown in part of the
money and there was not enough left
to buy tickets for ali of the party in
Guiding himself.
1T was quite evident that he did not
want to go with his dying wife and it
was equally as evident that like all
good women she chung to her husband
and displayed devotion that was mar
velous
She sobbed Historically and begged
him not to leave her and every time
she cried she was seized with a violent
flt of coughing that was distressing to
hear and almost shook her to pieces.
The child too seemed anxious for his
father to go and sobbed piteously. In
spite of all this the man withdrew
and when the train pulled out he was
not on board.
THE poor woman told me all of her
troubles and her distress was the keen
est l have ever witnessed. but I could
not do anything for her. 1 told her
she ought to be glad to get rid of a
husband like that, but like all true
wives she chung to him in spite of all
his faults. l shall never forget the
pallid face of that dying woman as she
sat there sobbing and coughing"
Il fixed one of those same kind of
husbands once myself remarked a |
be in the crowd. A woman came to |
me and wanted me to have her hus-
band arrested for abusing her and |
making himself generally obnoxious |

goods it going to do for me to arrest |
your husband; you'll have to pay his |
fine. Now you take my advice and |
leave him.

for her baby'S sake and told her that |
she didn't want to be beaten up by |

To the Editor of the Dispatch.

To the Editor of the Dispatch.
Sometime ago I spoke of meeting
Mrs. Whites and her lighter, Mrs.
Ruby, who came from Lexington
county, S. G. Now I will speak CT
another Lexington family, who also
lives in Texas. Many Of your read
ers remember Mr.. John FrankloW,
who left Lexington county soon after
the Civil War. I believe Uncle
Matt" Harman and Mr.. Franklow
csme to Texas tcgelh'r and settled
in Grimes County. I have not met
any Of the Harman family, but ha7-
ing been in the army with Uncl7
Matt, T hope TO see some of his peo-
pie before Ileave Texas. Mr.. Henry
Burdick, of Texas, married Martha
Ellen, daughter of Mr. John Frank
low, and they are row living IN
Cameron, Texas. Mr.. Burdick is q
fsrmer, but like many farmers in
South Carolina, he has moved to
town to educate his children, and by
the way, ought not every mar, who
cannot have good school near him
move to where he can have a coed
one? Education in the proper sense
of the term leads men away from
error, prtjudice, superstition and
confusion, out into the broad field OF
usefulness, truth and peace. An
education which developes the phys.
ical and intellectual only is one-sided
and may prove to be the devils best
workship, but where the moral and
spiritual forces are developed along
with the physical and intellectual
statesmen, jnrrist and divines appear,
but otherwise, the politician dema.
gogue and anarchist will appear.
But TO return Texas is, in money
respects, the greatest state in the
world. The roundup OF the cow
boy is giving place rapidly to the
steady and onward march OF the
plowman. The fertile plains are
being dotted with houses. This has
been an extremely hard year with
her farmers. Excessive rains for
two years past in certain parts and
protracted drought this year puts
the farmers in bad shape. Hope
points bravely to the future, where
hidden lie the fortunes of the faith
