A Tennessee subscriber asks for a
history of the Irish potato. Origi-
nally South American plant, it was
introduced into Virginia in 1892,
though it was unknown in some
countries in England a hundred
years later In Pennsylvania pota-
toes are mentioned very soon after
the advant of the Quakers; they
were not among the New York pro-
ducts in 1895, but in 1875 we are
told Of eleven hundred bushels
grown on one siXteen-acre patch in
this province. Potatoes were served
perhaps as an exotic rarity, at Har-
ward installation dinner in 1907, but
the plant was only brought into cul-
ture in New England on the arri-
val of the Presbyterian immigrants
from Ireland in 1881 Five bushels
were accounted a large crop of po-
tatOes for a Connecticut farmer, for
it was held that if man ate them
every day he could not live beyond
seven years.-Home and Farm.

PAGLIACCT HAT ON ANCIENT
STATUE
STATUE,

New York City.-A statue of a
woman who lived in America thous-
ands of years before it was discov-
cred by Columbus, and who in those
ancient days wore something re-
sembling 'peach-basket hat, was
shown in Columbia University yes
terday.
Another statue of a woman who
lived in the same time showed her
wearing a good duplicate of
"Pagliacci'' hat. Still lanother statue
showed a woman wearing an exact
counterpart of the Gainsborough,
feather and all. The race that wore
these hats entedated the AZtecs.
The statues were part of an exhi-
bition in Columbia Of figures and
fragments Of pottery found near
Mexico City by the International
School of Archaeology and Ethno-
logy.
One of the most surprising fea-
lures of the exhibition, said Profess
Of AnthropOlOgy of Columbia, is that
women who lived thousands of years
ago in what now is the Mexican val
ley and who knew nothing Of Paris
fashions wore hats similar to those
worn by women of today.
Professor Boas could not explain
that, except to say history repeats
itself.
Many Of the figures of women had
hats the like Of which never have
been seen in mOoern times. Profess
sor Boas said the woman of today
might take hope, for those particu-
lar grotesque American fashions of
thousands of years ago may become
popular in a hundred years or more.
One of the figures now being
shown is that of a woman wearing
a skirt the width of which grows
smaller as it extends toward the
ankle and was called by several
women who saw it similar to the
modern hObble skirt.
Many of the figures evidently had
been painted, but those are Of men
as we'll as of women. Jewelry is
shown on some of the statues Of
women. In those times, it was said
yesterday by experts on archaeology,
American women directed their vani-
ties toward strange hats and skirts
and did not worry about any other
styles.

There is no greater handicap to

Their circle is so small and their in
fiuence so limited that the world
never misses them when they are
gone. Liberality is a great asset.
Whether Of money, council or infu-
ence, it means much to those with
whom you come in contact and leaves
you richer and better for the duties
before you. Be liberal and leave an
ennobling influence when you are
called to your reward.-Farm and

Ireland AS She Looks
Continued from Page seven.)

programmes have been plentiful. It
Is left to the party in power at West
minister to draft the new Irish bill.
IN which work the Irish leaders are
consulted. 1t looks to us like put
ting tn cart before the horse. I'm
less we are mistaken, Canada and
Australia had large official parts in
framing their respective govern
ments. Unlike those colonies,
Home-Rule Ireland will remain a
political part of Great Britain, for
she will still have forty or SO mem
bers at Westminster. During our
journey we heard little reference to
the future. The cry was Home Rule
without much thought of tomorrow.
The financial side is mere specula-
ton. There will be an Irish exche-
quer and an Irish Consolidated Fund
and in addition a joint exchequer
board, two named by the English
treasury and two by the Irish and
one by the king. The details of
their workings seem to us cumber-
some. But one point is clearwater
Home Rule, the Irish will have a
greater tax burden. The increase of
expenditures is written broadcast all
over the bill, while the plans for
revenues to meet the increase seem
provisional and therefore dubious.
One thing is certain. The move
ment to create Irish nationality owes
nothing to the Catholic church or
clergy. They favored the Act of I'm
ion in 1900, and in 1927 Leo XII,
who left bastards at every capital
where he was accredited as papal
nunciO, consented to a veto by the
English crown on the appointment
of Irish bishops. It was this papal
favor that Wrung from O'Connell the
statement: "The Irish take their re-
ligion from Rome but not their poll
tics" England got no veto, but to
this day Ireland and the Irish are
most cordially hated by the curia,
although Del Walls mother is Irish.
cit has been said that the most
brilliant thing ever done by the Irish
priests was the invention of the le-
gend that they had been always on
the side of the people. -''The
Pope's Green ISLE" by w. P. Ryan
Can Irish Catholic), p. II.
To this very day, every nominee
to a bishopric in Ireland must take
the oath of allegiance to England,
and this by papal order.
With but three exceptions, every
man we talked to regarded Home
Rule as cure-all for Erin's woes.
Of the three, one was Home Ruler,
who saw in the act a step in the
right direction. He believed rather
in industrial development than par
1iamentary enactments Other Home
Rulers were convinced that a parlia-
ment in Dublin would soon be fol-
lowed by factories and workshops all
over the land. When we asked a
very well informed fellow traveller
how Home Rifle would advance the
nation, his reply was: cat any rate,
we can be no worse than we are.
Let us have a try at it." After all,
the Irish want their own parliament.
For ourselves, we fear for it's future
because of the clerical shadow that
will hang like pail over it. We
refer not so much to Rome, for the
Green Isle, to the men on the Tiber,
is rather nursery for missionaries
than a nation. We refer to the ma
tive clergy, who are the political
leaders Of the land. An Irish Catho-

10 return to our trip. We trav-
eled by rail from Cork to Bantry, in
whose bay the French fleet arrived
IN 1895 only to find an ally obs
united, therefore blighted,'' as
Thomas Davis sang. Now England
has in those waters an old warship's
hulk for naval practice An island
in it was bought recently by a
brother of the present British am
bassador at Washington. Our in
formant pointed out the improve
ments and the workmen as the
steamer went by. But he seemed to
look upon Mr.. Bryce's expenditures
as a bit of insanity. To him it ap-
peared a joke, if nothing worse, that
upwards of two hundred of his
neighbors should have steady en-
ployment, who otherwise would be
half idle. We listened to his chuck
les but said nothing.
At Glengariff, where we landed,
we came upon native industry, viz,
Irish frieze or home-spun cloth. An
old chapel of the town is given over
to industry, but new chapel has
been erected. To Killarney the trip
was by motor. We had some idea
of how sparsely inhabited was Ire
land, for in 1884, we had ridden on
jaunting car in Connacht-a dis
lance of fourteen Irish, that is, some
seventeen English miles, and had
met but five persons. From Glen
gariff to Killarney, ride of eighteen
miles, we counted and jotted down
various objects. It is true that we
were crossing stretch of barren
mountains, still the notes we took
will give you fair idea of rural
Ireland. We counted sixty-three cot
tages. Twenty-Five persons we saw
on the road, of whom five belonged
to roadside inn, where we stopped
for few minutes. Only two school
house came in sight. Along the way
we passed four carts; three drawn
by donkeys and the fourth by
horse. Three motor cars carrying
twelve people in all and a lone BIZ
cycle passed us. In the fields along
the way, we counted twenty-four
COWS and four calves. One church
and its parsonage stood by the road
side. We hurried by quarry which
was worked at one time by the City
Council of Cork, but seemed aband-
Oned while all the machinery for
stone crushing furnished rusty proofs
of neglect. A ureary spectacle!
Killarney Lakes were as beautiful
as ever, "Beauty's home" as the
song runs; the town itself was fl
thy. A big fair or market was on.
Everybody and everything in it made
a litter Of dirt. A gentleman from
Holland, whom we met, could not
hide his disgust. 1t was all such
contrast to his own tidy land
Amidst all that reek stands one of
the finest modern cathedrals in the
British Isles. Bishop Morarity, who
built it, was far in advance of his
episcopal brethren, an active anti
infalliblist, the one bishop of Ire
land to take dinner with Newman at
the Irish University in Dublin, the
man to whom Gladstone wrote the
statement, so often quoted: "The
definition of papal infallibility is the
most portentous (taking them sing
ly) of all events in the history of

NINE PLANKS- IN THE PLATFORM
ON WHICH HON. JASPER Tall
BERT HOPES TO BEAT
SENATOR TILLMAN.

Edgefeld, S. CT now being
high time for the public to know
what will be the lineup of the two
South Carolina candidates for the
United States Senate, Hon. B. r.
Tillman and Hon. w. j. Talbert, the
latter was asked for statement as
to what line he would follow, or
what principles he would advocate
when he took the stump next sum-
mer. He gave in brief some of the
planks of his platform which he
stated would be elaborated from the
stump.
Both Messrs. Tillman and Talbert
are Edgefeld county men and we'll
known in the state; and they are
the only announced candidates for
United States senator. Senator Till
man has held his present position
for long number of years; and Mr..
'Talbert formerly represented this
district in Congress for about twelve
years. Mr.. Talbert's planks are
nine in number and are as follows:
First-Suficient1y positive legis-
1ation that will, at least, control, if
not entirely destroy the trusts
wherever found to be in actual
restraint of trade.
Second-Tariff for revenue only,
placing the duty most heavily on the
Injuries, and removing it from the
necessities of life, following the
progressive idea of revision down
ward, framing such measures enacted
along that line by the Democrats
during the extra session, together
with graduated income tax, thus
reforming the tariff by placing the
burden of taxation upon the shout
ders of those more able to bear it;
and taking it off those less able to
do SO.
Third-The election of United
States senators by a direct vote Of
the people in a statewide primary,
as, also, all state. and county Off
GERS.
Fourth-The adoption. in some
way of the initiative, referendum and
recall with certain qualifications and
conditions; and, in reference to GER
tain officials.

PRAYER OF THE PIE HUNTER.

O thou would be Supreme Pie Dis

We now implore Thee for the sake of
the great Pie counter at Washing
ton to come to our rescue at once.
We know that thou art often incon-
sistent and hast been proven eligible
for membership in the Annanias Club,
yet we fear no other can land us
safely at the Pie counter, so we
dare not trust our fate to less able
leader. We are fully aware Of the
fact that thou Paradest the country
from Ocean to Ocean with an enor-
nous Club (stuffed with straw
seeking trusts to devour, yet suffer-
est the Steel Trust to gobble its
greatest rival with thy consent and
approval, yet we know that this
same Steel Trust and all other trusts
will dump an unlimited pile of
shekels into thy campaign barrels so
that thou canst buy sufficient num-
bers of unprincip1ed hoodlums to
land Thee in the White House, and
incidentally, land us at the Pie coun-
ter.
o great one we see and feel a great
awakening among the masses and
fear no other can deceive enough of
them to save us, so come at once and
lend thy mighty presence and per-
sonality to deliver us from this
awful and unbearable calamity.

and policies are too thinly yelled to
