THE DISCOVERER
OF "AMERICA."
Observation-Disclosures

1t is one of the ironies of fate that
the New World should bear the
name of America. thus perpetuating
the name of an adventurer, Americas
Vespucius. whose claim to being the
first discoverer" of the Western
Continentwas based on a falsely dated
letter. On the twenty.fcurth of
June, 1897, John Cabot set foot on
the soil of North America. He set
up the banner of England and from
that hour the fortunes of this con-
tinent were destined to be swayed
by the Anglo. Saxon race. His dis
covery laid the foundation for the
future supremacy of England in
North America.
Whether Cabot touched the shores
of the continent on the dismal
cliffs of Labrador" or on the wild
coasts of Nova Scotia or Newfound-
land will never be definitely known,
but the consensus of modern opinion
seems to favor Cape Breton. which
forms a part of what is now the
Province of Nova Scotia.
Columbus had succeeded only in
attaining the island fringe of the
continent before Cabot set foot on
the mainland. Cabot sailed over
waters far stormier and more diff
cult than any encountered by Colum-
bus. and his equipment and resources
were vastly less, for he had but a
single tiny vessel, the Matthew-the
first vessel TO touch our American
shores. His discovery Of the North
American continent preceded by
more than a year the third voyage
of Columbus when he came in sight
of the mainland of South America.
Like Columbus and Vespucius,
John Cabot was a native of Italy
and it is believed that he was born
in Genoa. the native city of Colum-
bus. Later he settled in the English
city of Bristol and it was thence that
he sailed on his memorable voyage of
discovery, having received patent
from Henry VII, authorizing him
and his three sons to search for
islands. provinces or regions in the
Eastern, Western and Northern seas.

No decadence, no lack of patriot

McInnes found himself, many will
say, was hard one. Honored by
election to the Legislature while still
student at college, having earned
an enviable reputation during his
short period of service there for
earnest work, participation in con-
structive legislation, and devotion
to high ideals and the welfare of

The Spirit of Then and Now

ne SP1r1t OF lQen d1lo NOW
When war with Spain was declar-
ed in 1898 thousands of young men
left their employment and went to
the front in defense of their coun-
try. When the war was over these
young soldiers returned home and
in majority Of cases found their
jobs filed by other people and them
selves out of employment and with
out prospects for the future. Such
was the reward Of valor in 1898.
Today thousands of the principal
business institutions of the country
are announcing that all members of
the National Guard who have re-
sponded to the Presidents call Will
not only find their jobs waiting for
them on their return but have their
full salaries paid to their families
during their absence Such is the
spirit of 1916.
A little reflection should convince
the most skeptical that not all of the
patriotism of this country flows in
the veins of the man with a gun.
The civilian has his duty to perform,
and he, too, performs it as the man
he is.
The one grasps his gun and goes
out to fight the battles of his coun-
try, while the other supplies the
sinews of war with which to fight.
1t is a combination of valor and
fidelity which in time should prove
invincible. Let US hope that such it
may be.

This life is full of snares and pit
falls for the tripping of the unwary
and the man who is arrogant in his
pride stumbles into them the most
readily of all. Confidence in self
and just pride in clean life are
to be commended, but arrogance
and refusal to consider the rights
of others leads straight to the brink
of oblivion.

A CALL TO ARMS.
Governor Wants at Least 1000
More Men for Military Service.

Columbia, June 25:-A call to the
patriotic white men of South Caro-
lima to come to the colors so as to
bring the South Carolina National
Guard up to war strength was issued
tonight by Governor Richard | Man
ming. There is urgent need for at
least 1000 more crecruits for the
two regiments to bring them up to
the maximum number set by the
war department for service in the
field. There are about, $500 men
now under arms at Camp Moore, the
State mobilization grounds at Styx,
and the 1000 additional men are
wanted for the two regiments to
place them on a war footing. The
call was issued for recruits by the
Governor after his return from the
mobilization grounds, where he con-
ferred with Coils Blythe and Springs
and Capt Manning. of the Light
Dragons.
The Governor went over the camp
thoroughly and talked with the Off
GERS regarding the health and COM
fort of the men. He was pleased
with the situation and, while encour-
aged over the promptness with
which the men have flocked to the
colors since the call made by Presi-
dent Wilson for service in Mexico,
he wants to emphasize the urgent
need for the additional 1000 re.
cruits. He asks those interested in
each community to get in touch with
available recruits and to notify his
secretary, Col Laroque, at his office
in Columbia.
The following is the call issued by
the Governor for recruits:
ITO the People of South Carolina:
"A crisis confronts us. The call
for service has come. South Caro-
lima is expected to do her part. Our
men are responding nobly. About
$500 are now in camp. We need at
least 1000 additional men. / make
this appeal to the patriotism and 10y
atty of the men of South Carolina to
offer their services without delay.
The matter is urgent. Recruits are
needed at once. | request those in
each community who are interested
in seeing South Carolina furnish her
full war quota of troops to take the
lead in securing available recruits for
the two South Carolina regiments.
and urge that they communicate
with Col 0 K Laroque at the Goy-
ernor's office in Columbia at once.
Recruiting officers will be sent to
any communities that indicate o. re-
sponse to this appeal. lam confident
that the patriotism of our people
will bring a prompt response.
RICHARD / MANNING,
Governor"

THURSDAY. JUNE 90. 1916.
The Contest Closes.

The Records circulation contest,
as announced in the beginning, came
to a close Saturday night, June "a.
Not a vote was received at the Office
after the hour of nine. The day was
strenuous one for Mrs Joyce. who
had conductedthe campaign through
out the six weeks of its course, from
the fact that number of candidates
waited until the last hour to turn in
their subscriptions and votes, made
it more trying even to one possessed
of her ability and energy.
By $50 the last candidate had
turned in her votes and the sealed
ballotbox was turned over to MIR S
B McGill, one of the judges, who
proceeded with it to the Bank Of
Kingstree, where he. assisted by
Messrs F w Fairey and P G Gour-
din, canvassed the ballots and de-
clared the successful contestants.
This work was completed about11:30.
when the winners were announced
by MIR Fairey to a number of inter-
ested parties who waited outside the
bank to hear the result.
The contest. we believe, has been
success. The Record, has not made
a barrel of money out oft, as many
Of our friends suppose, but We have
succeeded in doing what we started
out to do-getting our subscription
list in better shape than it has been
for many years. Old subscribers who
had gotten considerably in arrears
have paid up to date, and many of
them at least q year in advance. Be-
sides this, about one thousand new
subscribers have been added to our
mailing'list and now, literally speak
ing. The Record covers Williamsburg
county like the dew and is strong
er, better advertising medium than
it has ever been.
The management appreciates the
splendid work of the candidates and
their friends. What has been accom-
plisbed would have been impossible
without their aid.
The contest as conducted by Mrs
Joyce was fair and square in every
particular, and those who worked
hardest won.
