ESTABLISHED 1844 '|| ROMANCE OF WORDS. v So far hack that tli?? records of historians j ami tite traditions of the ancients ran form no connecting link lies the j??-ritx 1 when the I only spoken language consisted of crude sounds, betokening joy or sorrow, fear or i surprise. What eloquence then must lmve < lain in those anthopordal grunts, groans i and peals of laughter! And what a latent I force even in a look or a jesturo! Later 1 the improved tongue l?egan to adapt itself i to more subtle sounds which, linked with ideas even though crude and primordial, I formed words?the vehicles of thought and I the instruments of expression, the archives t or history and, as Emerson expresses it, ( the tomb of the muses. : Though the orfgioii of most words is for- j gotten, yet at one time they must have i represented to the mind fundamental pi in- I ciples of the truths of nature, or else they I would never have gained currency. Ac- I cording to Emerson all language is fossil t poetry. The etymologist lituis t.lie deadest i word once to have been a brilliant picture, t As the limestone of the continent consists ; of infinite masses of the shells of animal- ( cules, so languago is made up of images f and tropes which now, in their secondary 1 use, have long ceased to remind us of their t poetic origin. They are diamonds incrust- 1 ed in the dust of usage which only need the skill of the philologist to expose their s latent scintilations to the light of history, t William Swinton in his word ramble's t calls words the expressed essence of poe- c try, redolent as flowers in spring. Aurora s comeS'tous a snatch of that Grecian mv- t *!,?* * UlUlUgy Wlilt lucuiufiu uu>ivioi? and even to us she is the rosy fingered i daughter of morn, and morn, too, is a ( poem coming to us from an old Gothic t . word mergan, meaning to dissipate, to dis- | pefcse; morn then, darkness is dispersed, v Thus we are carried buck to the land of t Alaric of Balti and to the mists of the Elbe ; and the Oder. When we hear the word e Lethe we are taken back to the age of the superstitious ancients, to the river of for- J getfuluess, and with what poetic force has t the word been applied to a part of our own t county where the persecuted Huguenots * came to drown the memories of their ( haunted lives. The little word daisy flashes upon our { memories as a gift from our nature-loving ; Saxon ancestors, who named the "wee, modest, crimson-tipped llower," the days- * eye. What poesies cluster around the i names of flowers, the Anemone reminds us again of the tears of Venus for her be- ?. loved Adonis, whom in her sorrow she * changed into this gentle reminder of her 1 departed happiness. t We are an intensely practical people and I do not cull as many words from nature as ; did our progenators. We consider without I holding communication, con, together f with, sidera, the stars, "a man may be t mercurial without having Mercury as his t birth star or jovial without reference to i Jupiter, and even saturnine without a i knowledge of astronomy, and yet ill Starred men mwimui uisusmjis. And yet again we have histories wrapped i in words, cuniform tablets corroborate the saered cannon and tell of the rise and fall t of kingdoms and empires. Habits and cus- t toms of races that are no more are brought ? with unquestionable verity, words preg- I nant witn the fancies and the follies, loves i and hates of ancient peoples and nations, ; have outlived mighty dynasties and opu- v lent kingdoms to give subsequent peoples i the history of their progenators. Let us ; take an etymological ramble and discover i the history underlying the word romance, i a link in our subject. It takes us back to ( the middle ages, the chivairic era of knights i and ladies, before the day of Cervantes, the iconoclast. In France during the uth cen- t e tury an important change was wrought in < the language, the Latin language gradual- t ly died out and contributions were being t made by the Franks, thus a new language t sprang into existence Lingua ltoinana, or the Romance languj^je. Now as the tales ( of chivalry, love ditties of the troubadours, l feats and exploits of knights esquires wore i written in this Romance tongue all litera- s ture that has a semblance to these songs * we term romance. \ Pecuniary, peculiar and peculate have an s interesting origin. There was a time w hen t a man was not rich bv the number of his ? l .ll I i.Uf ,.f Inn I UUIUU?> Willi V,'ulll9 uuo v; iiuiuu^i v/i 1110 ? flocks and herds, pec us meaning a flock or 1 herd lias given us pecuniary, to peculate J was to take from the flock and so to steal, 1 and thus peculiar means ones own, private i property, belonging to the individual, not i general, liivals from, rivalis, a brook or 1 littlo river, called in the latin rivales, were < persons who lived on the same brook or ( used water from the same spring, but as - these conditions were discovered to be al- $ most always conducive to strife and illwill i and hatred the word now bears with it all i that is ungracious and malicious. ( Jeopardy comes to us from the gaming < table and means, literally, an even game, ' je-parti, one in which the chances are ? equal and liable to fall on either side, truly ieopardous! The hypocrite introduces us ^ into a Grecian theatre, where Hypocrates, ' the play-actor, feigned his part with such < consummate cunning that the dissembler t is now a hypocrite, and sycophant, too, has a Grecian origen, the sycophants were the < fig showers, those who informed on the ex- 1 porters of tigs from Attica; or the plunder' ers of the sacred fig trees and as such an office must of necessity carry with it a certain amount of opprobrium and obloquy it acquired the signification of a common in- , former or a false accuser, a parasite; and i parasite meant originally, one who took i his food, sitos, with another; but as such , persons usually paid for that food in buffoonery and flattery the word is now heaped with opprobrium. Some of the interesting words in the j English language are those which have nirnfessly wandered in and which Swiiiton has appropriately styled etymological gvs- ' sies, preposterous stands ont preemi- | nently in this group consisting simply of prae before and posterns after, having that ! before which should come after, the cart before the horse. Could anything be more 1 I appropriate than nonplussed, which isessi'nt.fjillv no more, and had its birth when some~oid monk in his harangue had reached the-place when he could say no more? "When we read the morning news ws are struck by tho aptness of its cabalistic ori- ' gen for since it comes from the North, East, West and South, it is perfectly natural to spell it n-e-w-s." Again, the abbreviation viz, meuning namely, being a shortened form of yidelieed has to thank some prin- 1 terwhowas short of type and with ehar' acteristic art of substitution placed there the symbol for a scruple instead of the "the" remaining letters. Sincere with all of the gravity and conventionality of its present use means nothing else than without wax. In ancient times the blemishes in a piece of furniture were obliterated by means of wax, a piece which had no crevices to be filled was sine-cera, and thus sincere, and thus a tallow chandler who has exhausted his supply of tjjis substance and prdering a fresh one might very well append to his letter yours, without wax. Quiz was born in London and is not, as pi any may think a shortened form of (juaestio. Its origin eame about in this way: Two friends were once walking along Plcadilly when one boasted that he could coin a word and place it in tin- English ! language in twenty-four hours; of course liic frii.nr) thniiclit this nrnrwistwnn*; :iiii] so he was willing to wage him heavily that he could not. The would-be word coiner lietook himself to his room and wrote oh several pieces of cardboard the word "quiz."' When darkness came on and there was little danger of being seen he took his cardboards and tacked them up in various public places of the city. The next morning '"Quiz" wiitten in bold black letters greeted the eye of every passer-by. Merchants; salesmen, milk* men. char-women, and haberdashers went about their work exclaiming in a mystified manner quiz, quiz, quiz! The morning papers were full of it and everybody wished to know what v, - *r. , . it meant. Thus it was that the word coiner quizzed 1 In' London popular**. The IOIizabethian period gave to the language many words, which, though they are of the mongrel type and have many currish nihilities are still worth retaining. What word lias more latent force and can tie read plainer licneath the lines than potvaliant? To say that a man was pot-valiant plainly indicates that he was a strong iirinker,and hence would be the last totoss up Ids cup and fall under the table in inebriate bliss. Scellion. scatterbrain, bogtrotter, gutter snipe, etc., are equally as interesting. It would he much out of place to men;ion a few. surnames which together with lieir origin might prove of interest. All ,he civilized world was wrought up over lie Dreyfus trial and the sympathies of ill good people went out to this poor tanrlcfoot?for this is the meaning of his mine in German. It seems that even in his case there is something in a name. I>urinjr the reign of Frederic the (treat of Prussia all t he Jews of Prussia were forced o take a surname. The .lews at t hat time lot being a very choice people in regard to -heir names, took them from geographic, irchitccturiil or scenic objects near which hey lived. Thus, Jacob who lived near the ichioss or castle became Jacob Schloss, suae Einstine was Isaac who lived near lie single stone, and Philip with blonde lair, as is the ease with many German fews, was Philip Blume or Blum. English surnames, at least many of them, are selfsvident. No one will doubt for a moment lie origin of Brown, Green, Smith, White, itc. Wilson is Will's son, and it is easy to ;ce that Anderson is none other than AnIrews's son. while Bradley or Broadligh vas simply a man who lived near a broad neadow. MacXeil is the son of Neil, while )'Neil is his grandson. These Irishmen low transmit the "Mac" and the "0" to josteritv in such a haphazard manner that vere we to translate the names in the gen;ological lines literally there would be sucli in intermixing of names as to confuse sven a genealogical specialist. "There was once a Welshman named fohn Rice, who lias a son and was at a loss x) know what to call him. John was given lira as n christian name, and as op means son of in that particular dialect, ho was :alled John Op Rice or John Price." The English language is a great composite, like th>> ravenous maw of the drajon in Dante's Inferno, it lusts to swallow sverything within its reach. It is omnivorous; it is a jumble of all that is best and ill that is worst of other languages, together with the original Saxon. This mis ellany nas been carefully arranged by a gigantic national mind into a mosaic of wundless dimensions, exquisite beauty md eternal strength. It is an organized 3able. a harmonized dfecord. a philological syncretism, a paradox! It showed its acivity early by substituting auxiliary verbs or passive and preterit forms, and it ac.iveness is a plain index to the activity of ;he Anglo-Saxon race. Like the giant oak t has thrust its roots deep into the rich nould of ancient Greece and Rome and Iraws therefrom the vitality on which it iubsists and with which it procreates civlization. In the language are found words which orm pictures in our minds the moment hey arc uttered. How realistic are the vords scamp, scrape, grace and craven, 'n the later we plainly see one who luis craven his life perhaps at the hands of a stranger and a nobler fellow being. One vonld feel slightly offended at being called capricious, but to be said to have the charicteristics of a he'goat would be unendurible, and yet they are essentially the same, lor would we think ordinarily of redundancy in calling one of those playful aniuals a capricious kid. In early Saxon times a small boy was called an imp, for Bede speaks of the iueen and her two lively imps. Unfor;unately small boys do not grow out of heir impish characteristics as rapidly as ;hey did from the name. As in dreams, thoughts on thoughts a ountless throng come chasing countless thoughts along, so in the universe of light dealism and sound come as winged messengers, myriads on myriads of words, jaeh word a sermon to mankind. Byron's vords with Byron's thoughts, Shakeipoare's words with Shakespeare's houghts by thousands counted, engulfing, Mishrining and endowing with dramatic ire the ashes of the past, and Milton's vords with Milton's thoughts "high gates >oft on golden hinges turning and hell's lollow caverns dark in ghoulish ruin clear-: ng with the wild danger of her gates or ron hinges grating harsh thunders," or tYadworth's gentle word6 stealing from )i genuer nature suunu cmums ouit inotigh to sooth a freted child. Follow the American Indian and 'neath the curling >moke before his tepee this child of nature vill teach you the poetry of words, with vhat a soft restfulness does he puff his :alumet and dream of his laughing water >r how gently does his light canoe glide neath the shadows of the live oaks or soft, savannahs tuid smoky waters. So important is the position held by vords that with Lowell we may well say : 'Life is but a sheet of paper white, where>n each one of us may write his word or ,wo and then comes night. In the writing of this paper we arc inlebted much to "History of English kVords." Managers of Election.

HYATT ( GOOD ROADS. ^ s Practical Suggestions that Would Bring ng About tfie Much Desired Result. Editors Press and Banner: In an editorial in your paper last week o you ask, "How much do you wish good roads," and (tornmend the public spirit of P the citizens of Martins Mills in offering to iV work their road for actual expense, and you say, if every man in the county was '^8 imbued with the" same spirit, etc. Weil, . that is a mighty big if. I have no doubt a large majority of the citizens of the counr, ty would do their full duty in that direce tlon if there was some one to take the . lead and point out a practical way, but JP there are exceptions to all rules; in this caso there would be many. Voluntary . work on the roads would be impractical, unreasonable and unfair, for no man cares to work for the benefit of others and board "? himself. |,u As I understand it, the Supervisor is ': elected to take the lead in this matter?to at advise, suggest and direct,?but in this , case you would reverse the principle of ,u initiative and referendum, and make the jP| tail wag the dog. In these days, when a little man is elected to a bif* office he boes comes so inflated with self-importance , that anything like advice or suggestions from an outsider is regarded as an unwur" rentable presumption?he knows it all. So . you see in either case we are somewhore ,je betweenfthe devil and. the deep blue sea. n- v . virrVif nur nArvnlfi are "a thinking , ?e people," and they have long since realized , that good roads, like everything else, j15" cost money; and being a sensible people, 1 '?T they do not expect to get something for 1 1(1 nothing. They did not fix the commuta- < iS" tion tax at two dollars, nor did they refuse I ^ to pay more, or do more, for they have not i . been asked to do so as far as 1 know. I have been thinking some on this mat- ( ^ ter of good roads, and will give an outline alc of a plan which, if it can be made feasible- ' er will be a step in the direction or good roads, a great improvement to the far in I sd lands and an inappreciable tax on the farm- . id ers, a tax that will be repaid a hundred | e- fold by removing what has for ages been j an intolerable nuisance, and putting farm is lands in condition to use improved imple- , He rnents: On almost every farm in the counn ty there are many tons of rock scattered 1 in over the land. Let every farmer, white I sd and black, be required to haul a specified ( or number of loads of this rock proportionsd ate to the force he works?three to six , n- loads for each two-horee farm?and deposit 1 a It near the bad places in the public road nearest his farm. This should be done anil nually for a specified number of years? n- two or three, I presume, would exhaust i st the rock easily accessible on most of the n- farms. This rock could be broken by the road gang or those who fail to pay comJ's mutation tax in each township, and usefl n- in repairing the roads. On farms where . iy rock is scarce, slag, gravel, sand or other suitable material could be substituted. ly mere snouia De in eacn rownmnp a coiuin petent person to designate place where n- this material is most needed, and see that i a it is used to the best advantage. If the tie farmers could be induced to act In concert se. I believe such a plan would be mutually re beneficial to the farm lands and the roads; it- but I do not know of anything short of a id statute law that will make the farmers ot concert worth a dried persimmon, and I Id doubt if such a law would stand the test o- of constitutionality: it savors too much of < in class legislation. There are other people id besides thelarmers who are interested In lie good roads and they should be required to si'- do their part. In many places the grade 10- of our roads is unnecessarily steep; if this id is ever to be changed, there is no time like be the present. Real estate in South Caro11 Una will never be cheaper than it is today, of and, as a rule, when a man sells a strip of er barren land to the county for a publlo ( road, he has about as little conscience as a 1 of mule. I ty I offer these suggestions for the conskl- ! eratl jn of the pnbllo.and leave the details to bo worked out by more experienced and ] practical minds, S. A. S. ( J} Uniform the Voterm. ils It has long been the desire of the writer to see our veterans of the C. S, A. In unist form?that is on ocoasion6 of reunions and in entertainments given in their honor.
