Tho whole program was one phase of the plans of tho Russian radicals "designed at tho ultimate capture of authority, the overthrow of gov ernment, and tho Rotting np of a dic tatorship like that in chaotic Kas sia." Mr. Palmor said. Workers wore being led unwittingly into tho trap set for thom, ho added, through the Industrial Workers of tho World. Tho Communist Internationals, he added, led by Lonlno and Trotsky, were attacking America's industrial life.

MISNOMERS, fy. fy* fy* fy* ?J? fy* fy* fy* fy* fy* fy* ?J? fy? fy? (Greenville Piedmont. ) Judge NV. C. Benet, formerly of the South Carolina hench, and one of the State's foremost scholars, has just written an article on "Scots and Ulster-Scots In the Southern States" for a new hook. "Scots and Scots' Descendants In America." The arti cle has been published in advance In "The Caledonian" and is an Intensely Interesting historical monograph. The term "S.cotCh-Irish" ls a mis nomer, says Judge Benet, "for no such being ever did or ever will ex ist. 'Presbyterian-Catholic' - that is what tho term 'Scotch-Irish' would properly imply-and that is a com pound as unlikely to occur as one of oil and water, or of Orangeman and Ribbonman. Tho term 'Scotch-Irish' is of American manufacture and is a misnomer of a most misleading and mischievous character, which ought to he dismissed from our vocabulary. It misleads Americans; it misleads Irishmen; it misleads even the Ul ster-Scots; it misleads foreign his torians. The misleading tenn should be dropped from our vocabulary and the correct terni, 'Ulster-Scot,' used instead, certainly by all of Scottish blood. "lt is curious that there is an other Hibernian misnomer in use in the United States-the so-called 'Irish potato.' which is no more Irish than the Ulster-Scots." continues Judge, Benet. "Although it ls a South American tuber, found ii rat in Peru. I believe, the name misleads many to think that the potato came originally from Ireland. The history of the misnomer is interesting. In the early forties of the last century, a famine was caused in Ireland by the failure of Hie potato crop. A blighting disease. previously un known, had destroyed the potatoes. As ii had first appeared in Ireland, tho potato blight was generally called tho 'Irish potato blight'-not that the potato was Irish, but the blight, Before long the word 'blight' was dropped, and the 'Irish potato' was loft."
