The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1910-03-26

century after century has been marked
by the destruction of the schools and
libraries of Ireland. Not in the his
tory of all time has so much destruc-
ton of literature occurred outside of
that land. From the time the first vic
torious Danish prince laid waste an
Irish school, in the eighth century and
burned the books to melt from them
the gold with which they had been
embellished, until Cromwell in his fam
atical fury burned every library in
Ireland, the pillage of art galleries and
libraries in Ireland had been the goal
of barbarian greed. Because of these
recurring invasions. Ireland has been
utterly denuded of her treasures of
books.
Some fifty years ago boy in the
west of Ireland uncovered with his
plowshare some buried gold which
proved to be the most precious horde
of ancient metal art the world has
known.
This collection of jewels, now in the
National Museum at Dublin, is q part
of the loot taken from the art mu-
scum of the University of Clan Mac
Nois in the tenth century, by an in
vading army. which in trying to es-
cape down the Shannon, buried these
treasures of gold in the County Glare.
This one lot of jewels, which cs-
capped the melting pot Of the Danish
invader by q narrow chance, and which
escaped the greed Of subsequent Eng
lish invaders, only because 1t had been
SO we'll concealed, embraces almost all
that Ireland still holds OF the great
treasurers of art from which in pre-
Christian times, the jewels and other
most priced articles OF the metal
workers art were furnished to the
then known world. AS small as this
find was, embracing only about tWen-
ty-flve thousand dollars worth of gold
bullion, 1t is yet the most extensive
collection of art of the period. In these
ornaments are found many Of the lines
preserved In the script alphabet. At
the beginning or the last century, Ire
land, where the art Of making books
had first been taught, was left al
most destitute of books. However, the
libraries of Europe were and still are
rich in the possession Of Old Irish
books, from which the precious bind
ings of gold and Jewels have been
stripped. These books. taken out Of
tian times by the missionaries of ear
ly centuries Of Christianity or by the
invaders of later times, are the treas
| ures from which modern literature
has drawn much Of its beauty.
| From these books have been taken
the letters which all Chrstendom has
learned to use. The scholars OF Ire
land did not impose their tongue upon
the races OF Europe, to whom they
taught the usage Of literaturc; they
gave them that which they did not
have-their letters-the implements
which have been the chief factors in
the upbuilding of their literature, the
vehicle through which the nations of
Europe have been raised to the plane
of civilization which they enjoy today.
On the chamber walls Of the sepul-
chre pyramids of Ireland, carved three
thousand years before the Christian
era, arc found the graceful flowing in
terlacing lines which chara cterze the
Irish alphabet.

The very sounding word "eti-

1t formerly meant simply a label. It
received it's present significance from
the fact that a Scotch gardener who

Louis XIV was much annoyed when
the courtiers walked over his newly

placed to indicate where they might

A holiday surprise

A holiday surprise was the
announcement of the withdraw
al of Hon. w. A. Blount, OF
Pensacola, from the race for the
United States senatorship. Mr..
Blount gives excellent reasons
for his action, one of the chief
being his utter repugnance to
exhibiting himself and seeking
votes as candidate. This rea-
son appeals to us torcibly be
cause we have at times been a
candidate for office and we know
how very embarrassing it is to
have to so about asking for
votes. The candidates remain
ing are Messrs. II liaferro,
Broward, L'Engle aud Reese
and with these we opine that
the race will be warm enough rc

WARNING TO FARMERS
Not 20 Put Too Much Bagging on
Their Cotton Bale.

Editor County Record
Now that the time is approaching
for the gathering of another cotton
op,there are some rules governing
the use of excess bagging to which
I wish to draw the attention of
every farmer in this community, so
that they may protect themselves
against those rules governing over
tare and thereby sell their cotton at
q much more satisfactory price.
The Liverpool Cotton Exchange
has adopted the following: Should
the weight of bsgging exceed 8 9-16
Der cent, then the buyer shall have
the right to claim for such excess at
the invoice price. If the actual tare
be rot ascertained at the time of
weighing, the buyer shall afterwards
be entitled 10 recover for insufficient
allowance, provided the deficiency
amounts to ! pound per bale on the
entire parcel purchased, but not
otherwise"
Then the New York and other ex-
changes allow as maximum twen-
ty-four pounds tare. All bagging
appearing in excess of this will be
weighed when the bale is exported
and claim will be made on shipper
for overweight.
These are the conditions governing
overtare, and it can be readily seen
that when bagging appears in excess
of "a pounds that the buyer as a
protection for himself, will be COM
PEELED to reduce price on such bale
or bales to a point where he can be
safe in handling. for claim is made
on shipper at the invoice price, there
fore ne is forced to seek protection at
the expense of the seller.
Now, what | wish in asking The
County Record to publish these facts
is to forewarn you and thus you are
forearmed. See to it that not one
inch over six yards is put on your
cotton, avoid any laps or ends or any
apparent excess whatever, and, as a
result, you will have sold your cot
ton at a more satisfactory price and
in a more satisfactory way. This is
written for the betterment of your
interests, which ! am always glad to
protect.
GEO A MCELvEEN.

pressure Of a lack of success or
finances. That is a grave mistake.
For several years the presbytery
and the trustees of the Third Church
have felt that it seemed Inconsistent to
encourage the support of three congre-
cations. on Broad street, that were
within a few blocks of each other, while
the uptown districts of the city were
being left unchurched by this denomi-
nation. The old First Church stands
just north of us, and the South Park
Church only a few blocks south, and
