THE NAME OF NoRwAYs KING.
Original Meaning Was "The High One
of the Kim"

of the Kim"
As to the uncertainty of the spelling
of the new king of Norway's new
name, Norwegian authority writes:
1.-THE genuine form of the name is
Hakan. Such variations as Hakun,
Hakunn, Hakvin, Latin Haguinus,
leave out of consideration. The name
is made up of two elements-ha, the
root of har, high; and kon, for konr
Qike son, for sonr). The older form
of konr was kunr, he of the kyn
(kunD, of the family, the noble race.
According to the Elder Edda poem,
Rigsmal konr was the youngest son of
Jarl (Earl), who himself was the son
of the god Heimdall ('illuminator mum
diO. Konr ungr, the young kon, swung
himself, by deeds of arms, into the
position Of konungr, king, which,
though the old poet knew it not, sim
ply meant the koning, he of the kim
-ungr being a suffix indicative of des-
cent.
Accordingly, the name Hakon
meant originally the high one of the
kim. and must have been title for
a prince, king, before it assumed
the exclusive character of a proper
personal name. The old Norwegian
pronunciation of the "a in ha seems
to have come close to the sound of
the English 'ow' in know; but In the
course of time 1t has broadened into
a sound as nearly as possible identi-
cal with the English 'aw' In hawk.
The % in kon Is very nearly equal
to the English 20 in on. The accent
falls on the first syllable.
"In modern Norwegian the spelling
of the name Is Haakan Caa' equals
'aw). But to Judge from the tele-
grams, it would seem that his majesty
is going to adopt the ancient spelling
of the name, dropping the accent over
the a, and desires to be known as
Hakon. Haco is only a Latinized
form of the name.

Small Empire Coat.

No one need think that the fashions
Of the first empire are not as becom-
ing to the little maid as to her moth
er. 1t is unusual to find style which
is so universally becoming, and the
little coat shown is quite as becom-
ing on the little girl as the same mode
is on her mother. What could be more
adorable than demure little lady in
this coat? The short Elton part fits
easily, while the lower attached por-
ton flares gracefully about the bot
tom. Velvet is very soft and rich in
tiny coats for winter, and the pretty
collar and cuff facings of white broad

Lace on All Kinds of Gowns.

Lace is to be a great deal worn upon
winter gowns, and even on street
dresses one sees 1t very much. In one
of the shop windows there is very
handsome cloth dress, trimmed around
the neck and down the front with a
tan colored lace jabot. Set in the
jabot of lace there is strip
of black fur. The muff is
made of black fur, with a trimming
of white lace along the upper part and
at each end. Bows of velvet are set
in the lace.

OUR FARM ARTICLES THIS WEEK.

Our South Carolina crop reports have been
summarized on page 2. It is very evident that
the reduction in cotton acreage in South Carolina
has not been so great as in North Carolina, and
this assertion is borne out by Latham, Alexander
& Co.'S reports of per cent decrease in the
Palmetto State as compared with Is per cent in
this State and Virginia. But from everywhere
come reports of abnormally unfavorable seasons
as compared with abnormally favorable conditions
throughout the growing and harvesting period
last year.
We need more live stock in the South, but we
can never get the most profit from stock until we
have more slos and shredders. The shredder sub
iect was discussed by DR.. Freeman last week. In
this issue we have valuable paper on ensilage

Bear Price Climbs Down.

Theodore 81. Price has jumped the fence. Two
days ago he was bear, perched high in the forks
of cottonwood; yesterday morning the readers
of daily papers recognized him in the pasture but
transformed into bull, roaring and aggres-
siYe bull. The evening before Mr.. Price tele-
graphed an advertisement to the leading papers
of the South. It contained the summary from
producing counties of the South The average
date of those replies is May 10Th, and. says Mr..
Price. "does not therefore reflect the heavy dam
age caused by the excessive rains in Texas since
that date" Yet they indicate reduction in
acreage of 173 per cent; acreage of 26, ,033,-
600 against 31,730,OO0 last year and 28,907,-
600 two years ago. The condition of the crop is
placed at 7O.8 or per cent lower than that indi-
Gated in the reports received by Mr.. Price at the
date for the crop of 1903. "The outlook
suggested by these figures is of the gravest i'm
Admitting that the crop of 1904-5 was H.
100000 bales" says Mr. Price, 'the present indi-
cations point to crop of 29.5 per cent less, or
91S7 900 bales, assuming that the conditions are
phenomenally and unusually favorable the
growing and picking season of last year proved
to be-" Continuing, the now rampant bull de-
clares: "Spinners' takings for the current season
will probably reach, if they do not exceed, 12500,-
900 and the present rate of consumption calls for
another crop Of 100000 bales or over to ade-
quately supply the worlds demands" He sees no
possibility of such production and probable de-
fciency of from 100000 to 100000 bales.
We do not altogether agree with Mr.. Price; in
the zeal of his conversion he surpasses those of
steady belief in cotton; he out-Herods Herod. But
we do believe there is strong prospect of yield
of less than II OOO0 900 bales and that the increas
ing consumption by spinners will bring every
pound of it into active demand.-Columbia State.

A Robert Louis Stevenson Prayer.

Lord, behold our family here assembled. We
thank Thee for this place in which we dwell; for
the love that unites us, for the peace accorded
this day, for the hope with which we expect the
morrow; for the health, the work, the food and
the bright skies, that make our lives delightful: :
for our friends in all parts of the earth, and
friendly helpers in this foreign isle Let peace
abound in small company. Purge out of
every heart the lurking grudge. Give grace
and strength to forbear and to persevere. Of
tenders, give us the grace to accept and to for
give. Forgetful ourselves, help us to bear cheer
fully the forgetfulness of others. Give cour-
age and gaiety and the quiet mind Spare to us
our friends soften us to our enemies. Bless us,
if it may be, in all our innocent endeavors. If it
may not, give the strength to encounter that
which is to come, that we be brave in peril, con-
slant in tribulations, temperate in wrath, and In
all changes of fortune, and down to the gates of
DEATH loyal and loving to another. AS the
clay to the potter, as the windmill to the wind,
as children of their sire, beseech of Thee this
help and mercy for Christ's sake-From the

lima and Georgia, and 10 per cent in Texas. "The
total estimated decrease of cotton acreage in the
United States for 1905 is II 1-5 per cent, or

FRANK STANTON'S VERSE;

Frank Stanton is probably not genuine poet
only heartsome, CHEEKY singer who makes the
world happier by his melodies. In fact, we were
not sure at first about including his work in our
list of more or less classic Southern poems-but
who resist the fine optimism of a skit like

when one finds one of the acknowledged masters
giving way to pessimism and indiferentism, it is
refreshing to turn now and then to less gifted
singer who merely believes that

SteadfaStness.

By thy own souIs law learn to live,
And if men thwart thee take no heed,
And if men hate thee have no care;
Sing thou thy song and do thy deed,
Hope thou thy hope and pray thy prayer,
And claim no crown they will not give,
Nor bays they gr1dge thee for thy hair.
Keep thou thy soul-sworn, steadfast oath,
And to thy heart be true thy heart;
What the soul teaches learn to knows
And play out thine appointed part,
And thou shalt reap as thou shalt SOW,
Nor helped nor hindered in thy growth,
To thy full stature thou shalt grow
Fix on the future goal thy face,
And let thy feet be lured to stray
Nowhither, but swift to run,
And nowhere tarry by the way,
Until at last the end is won
And thou mayst look back from thy place
And see thy long days journey done.
