this song hapnened to be written bv its
author, James r. Randall of Augusta, Ca.
was told by Mr.. Randall himself on the
occasion of his visit to Charleston few
days ago.
IN the year 1861 I was. though a very
young man. a professor of Poydras college,

A VANISHED RACE.
Traces Discovered While Exploring
Southern Mexico and Guatemala.

Among the reliefs photographed by
Herr TOebert Mailer during his trips up
the Usumatsintla river. in southern
Mexico and northern Guatemala, are
carvings of gods or priests holding in
the right hand a short staff which ends
below in a snakes head and seems to
support a small idol with a peculiar
snout, or it may be merely a monkey.
If monkey, certainly it is convention
allied enough. The attitude is generally
one Of offering something to deity
but not always. The manikins usually
plumes like the gods and priests and
warriors; perhaps they wear masks
having long noses or snOuts.
A Intel found at Yaxchilan appears
to represent an interview between the
god Quetzalcoatl and his priest. In the
right hand of the god there is the curved
stick or support ending in snakes
with a belt round the waist of the small
figure. The latter has anklets. wrist
lets. tight fitting. patterned clothes. or
perhaps merely decorations like tattoo
ing on the limbs The oldest thing of
all is the fact that the priest has
manikin almost identical which he holds
up to the gods nanikin so that they
seem to be shaking hands or boxing
with each other with raised hands. The
effect is that of two pigmies or mon
keys wearing masks held by broad
girdles, and these supported by curving
slaves.
In this sculpture Quetzalcoatl has a
helmet and plumes nearly as high as
himself. composed Of the conventional
lied head Of a serpent. ana the gorgeous
feathers Of the Quetzaf. He has what
seems a transverse nose ornament, neck
laces. shoulder decoration or cape

BANANA EATERS
More of This Fruit Is Consumed Here
Than IN Any Other Country.

One would think that as warm wealth
er approaches and fresh fruits and veg
etables begin to cheaper the banana
mans profits would begin to fall off.
But this is Just the time of year when
they swell to three times their winter
proportions. Tt is not in winter when
little other fruit is to be had that peo-
ple consume bananas in vast quantities.
but in summer, when they assault the
eyes of the millions temptingly without
danger of freezing.
America has within the last ten years
become the greatest banana consuming
country in the globe Twenty four
million lunches were imported last
year into the Inited States. an increase
of 40 per cent over ten years ago. This
increase is due simply and solely to
veutilators. The ordinary snip has no
ventilatOrs in the holds The ship con-
structed specially for carrying banan-
rs has from twelve to twenty big ones
The company which controls so per cent
of the banana trade has seventy-flve
of these banana ships in active service.
But care can by no means relax after
the banana lands on American soil For
long distance hauls the national fruit
of the tropics requires almost as mucn
attention as it does on shipboard- rms

The prema ture opeNSng of the silly
season may be responsible for the dis
cussion going on in three or four of the
papers over the old question whether the
people of The United States should not
be called "Statesians." or .'UsianOs.' or
something equally foolish. instead of
Americans. 1t will be observed that this
scheme never comes up when there is
anything less silly to talk about. There
has been deal of such talk at one time
and another, but It has never amounted
to ANYTHING since the fiat failure Of Dr..
Whelpley's Q BILE agitation for the use of
the terms "Fredonia" and FREEDMAN"
early in the last century
If the term american as applied 10
the inhabitants of the colonies, was de-
scriptive and accurate enough not only
for the use Of Washington and Franklin
and their fellow-insurgents but also for
George III. Chatham and Lord North
and Louis XVI, Lafayette and Frederick
the Great all Of whom used it exactly
as we use it, it is certainly good enough
for the people of the United States of
the present day
The only possible excuse for an at
TEMPT to provide ourselves with another
designation is the assumed sensitivfness
Of the Mexican, COlombiaRs, Rrazilians
and others. who may think that they arc
also entitled to be called Americans. 1t
is true that Brazilians and Argentlnes
are sometimes called Americans in
paris and Madrid But all the world rec
ognizes the fact that T1e real ~Ameri-
cars" no matter how often the attempt
NAV be made 10 render the designation
more general, are tEe people Of these

site his thighs, which are partly bare,
this pendant takes the shape of 1orid

deciphereG. Purely as decorations these
glyphs surpass anything known in other
parts of the world Those carved by the
Egyptians, for example are certainly
handsome. and are technically more
polished work. but in artistic effective
ness they must yield the palm to these
mysterious records of by gone civiliza-
tions, owing to the symmetrical round
ed forms of the latter and the solid
ranks which are massed in varied
squares. These afford a most pleasing
contrast to the sweeping plumes of the
head dresses and the ornaments sus-
pended from the collars and girdles of
the figures.
When one imagines these extraordi-
nary clever carvings, brilliant with col
ors, and the priests performing their
solemn dances around the affairs. with
the idol standing or squatted in the dim
niche behind one can understand the
power this race of warriors and ar
