WM Km: AND WHAT IS FfcnTI
Every nuw nnd~then something hap
pens to rcuiiuij us that there is a vuft
continent known as S?,uth America.
A, few days ago there was a revolution
in Peru and w ith hut a brier chronicle
through tin* w Associate Press, the
world learned or the ? hange of gov
ernment or four and a hull million
people. Even South Carolina with
one-fourth tbnf" number of Inhabi
tants manages to get more notoriety
with less change of government.
South America is a magnificent
continent, and with all or the boasted
superiority of the United State? of
America, the propre- und civilization
of tliis rouutry is r..ailed by some or
our Southern sinters. The United
Stales With her 3,600,000 s<iuure miles
' is but 400,000 square miles larger than
brazil. The total population of South
American countries I? between 35,
000.000 and 40,000.000 and in wealth
and In civilization some or these
countries are u* modern as our own
beloved country.
Tern is on the went coast of South
America, directly opposite Drazll on
tbe east coast. Peru*4s a republic and
touches Hruzil, Ecuudur, Bolivia, and
Chile. The areu, loughly speaking
is 700,000 square miles, and it is
roughly speaking, for- ivil of the inoun

they are yet honest and industrious.
Negro slaves and Chinese coolies were'
imported iu largo numbers by tbe
Spaniards, but they are decreasing
cacb year.
The Spaniards, forced the Hornau
religion on the people. The oldest
university of the New World is the
Catholic school at San Marcos. For :
more than two centuries tbo people or
Peru tolled anil died. In 1780 a des
cendant of the Ineae led a r?volution
which shook Ute. power of Spain to
its foundation. On December 9, 1824
tbe colonial government was over
thrown and tli,e Spaniards expelled
forever from South America. Peru
was aided by I.cris Cochrane of Chile;
(Sen. Sun Martin of the Argentine Re
public and den: Bolivar of Colombia.
Since that time1 Peru has had seve
ral uprisings among her own people
und Chile has given her a great deal
of trouble. Peru. furntshes to -the
world a great deal of wool, as well
as nitrate or soda for fertiliser, gold,
stiver and copper: It is a great coun
try, but one of the smallest In South
America.
WH? JUST ONE?
The legislature of South Carolina
recently passed a resolution asking
congress to repeal the 15th amend
ment to the cons:ltutlon of the United
States. Which is ail very well as tar
aa it goes, but shows Ute Ignorance
of some people. Why repeal Ute 15th
and leave Ute i Uli? That is what wo
cannot understand. The 14th amend
ment is just as repugnant aa the 15th,
one Is but an amplification or the
other. Article 14 was proposed In
1868 and article 15 In 1870 and both
were aimed to give the vote to the
negro. If that resolution was passed
to accomplish some definite good and
not merely for "bunk'im" why was it
not made effective?
The nth amendment d?clar?e "All
persons born or naturalized in the
United States and subject to the Jurld
dlctton thereof, arc citizen* or tbe
United State? wherein they reside.
No state shall make or enforce any
law which shall abridge the privileges
or Immunities of citizens of tbe United
States; nor shall nny state deprive
any person of lite, liberty or property
without due process of the law," etc.
That is the section which first gave
the vote to a black majority, in popu
lation, in certain states. The l&tb
amendment states, "The right ot cltl
sens to vote shell not be denied or
'abridged by the United States or any
slate un account of race, color or pre
vious condition of servitude The con
gress shall have power to enforce this
article by appropriate elgislution."
UUtXV MI'I.OMM Y
The great event of the uvvk Just
ended, was the action of the president
In raising the embargo which prohibl
bited munitions of war from bel?g
shipped Into Mexico. This declaration
is humane and logical.
it might appear cold blooded, but as
a matter of fact it is humane. It la

happen If Villa or t'arranza or Felix

That remains to be s .eeii
That remains to be seen.
A STATE PREROGATIVE
At a d?mocratie parly uaucus in
Washington last week it was decided
that at tbi? time the question of
Woman's Suffrage' is for the several
statea to settle and not for Congress.
We are impressed with the wisdom
of this act. The right to prescribe
the qualifications of the voters be
longs to tlie states alone.
In sonie stales It would do very well
to let the women vote, but other states
do not care for it.
Oh, if Congress had only done this
with reference tu giving the right of
suffrage to the negro. The greatest
crime ever perpetrated on the negro
race was to make them citizens be
fore they had passed through some
period pf probation to Tit them for
these responsibilities. If Congress
had but left this matter to the states
to settle, the negro would be far bet
ter today.

Tliu bell which Illing in Independ
ence hall in the stirring days of the
American revolution and was rung to
announce the udoption of t lie Declara
tion of independence, bore the inscrip
tion. "Proclaim liberty throughout all
the laud unto all the Inhabitants
thereof." Concerning these words cast
into the bell long before it whs put to
Its historic use, there lias been consid
erable controversy, but there will be
no luore. The mystery has been
solved and now We know all about the
niost famous bell in our history.
The words were a coincidence, an
unwitting prophecy o! the use to
which the bell would be put and which
would render it famous for all time.
The bell was Ars?, fust in 1751 in Eng
land to be used in the celebration of
tho 60th auniversnrv of the granting
of a charter to the city <?f Philadelphia,
Letters of Isaac .Morris, who was su
perintendent of th old state house
when the boll was ordered, which
have been discovered by Wilfred Jor
dan, curator of Independence ball,
have nude the story of the famous
bell clear.
These letters show that the bell
was first cast In England on the mod
el or the famous "Big Tom" of Lon.
Ion. by Thomas Lester, whose Arm is
si ill doing business In Whltechapol.
The inscription was suggested b;
Isaac Morris hinisi If. a profound Bib.
llcal student, and it is taken from the
tenth verse of the -C>th chapter of
l^vlticus.
A year after tho bell arrived in
America it cracked, and was recast
by two colonial mechanics, Pass anil
Slow. The first recasting impaired
the tone of the bell, so that that Job
was done over, with the result that
the tone was considerably improved,
Later the-bull cracked again, when
lise I upon the occasion of the funeral
of t hief Justice .lohn Marshall, July
I, \'X',?, on tho anniversary of the
adoption of tiiH D?claration or Inde
pendence. It was then hanging in
the tower or Independence hall,
where it hung until ISTL
The clearing ; way or tho mystery
.surrounding the time of the placing
of the words of the inscription in the
bell urouses memory of the remark
ably prophetic character ot those
words and how, placed as they were
without thought of the great event it
was to announce, they were fitter than
perhaps any other that the mind of
man could conceive.
