the influence of the

• ' e
Norman Conquest Upon the
Anglo-Saxon Literature, Lan
guage and Custom*.
The coriqnest of EngUud by tbe
NormaDS io 1“66 brought • new huU
powerful influence into Euglish life
and literature. The Normans weie
originally a mixed horde of piratical
adventurers from Scandinavia and
Danmark, who had won for them-
aelrea a country iu the North of
franca ° But the Norman* who con
quered England a century and a half
later, were the moat courtly, cultured,
art-loving and capable race in Eu
rope. In origin they were Teutonic,
like the Bogliibjbnt so completely
fead they adopted and ajao improved
the civilisation of the Uatai and the
Bmneo, that scarcely an outward
tnwe of their origin remained.. After
establishing themselves in Normandy,
they acquired the corrupt Latin of
the region and transformed it into
a literary language. “Thay found it
a barbarous jargon; they fixed it in
writing, and employed it in legisla
tion, in poetry and romance.” They
became Christians, and absorbed
eagerly the learning which the
church brought with it, and en
couraged such Italian sebolirs as
Anselm and Lanprane to cettle
among them. Their poets chanted
long knightly songs of battle, love
and heroism. The scholars who
into England after the conquest
always wrote in Latin, while poets
wandered from castle to castle, sing
ing songs of Norman chivalry in the
jgonnan-Frensh of the conquering
nee. The song ol Koland was sung
bf b Norman minstrel on the baitle-
Asld of Hastings The Norman court
hMgnage became blended with the
English ot the people. Many other
French romances were translated into
English, bringing home to the popu
lar imagination a new store of poetic.
French was the language of the
court and of the ruling classes in
England. 'English language was
dispised by the polished Norman as
the barbarous tongue of a conquered
people. The mass of English still
used it; but many words were lost
frota their vocabulary, because they
were not used in ordinary speech and
oeasKl to bo a written or literary
language. For a time, Norman-
French and English* in its various
dialects oentinued in use side by
aide as a distinct language; but it
oould.nqt have been very long before
the Norman began to learn of the
jiativfc speech.
By the loss of Normandy in 1204
the connection with a foreign and
French-speaking power washrokon.
Parisian French was the fashion at
court, and for some time continued to
be the language of state documents
of society, education and the courts
of tow, Bnt in spite of this English
began to be employed by the French-
jinking people outride of court
circles-
By the Fourteenth Century this
•stubborn **holding to English’* had
made the .triumph of the language
pertain. Alm^l Blxhchard,

CITIZEN
Is Bitterly Opposed to Bonding
The Town.
Editor Pros* and Standard:- Is
our town in such very prosperous
condition that we feel we should
have our taxes raised? Do qur
property owners and business men,
feel that they are making too much
money in proportion to their taxes,
county, town, school, and last but
not least, the business license?
If the people of the town are in
such prosperous condition and the
bulk of property owners are set on
paying more taxes then "the only
thing to be done is to put a bond on
the town. We cannot well plac*
but one mortgage on the old town
so let us be very careful as the ob
ject of the bond. Shall wc bond to
complete a fine modern system of
water works wh'ch would lower in
surance rates, protect each home
from fire, and give the luxury of
running water throughout all our
houses? This is much needed would
increase the value ot all property
and would therefore build good
roads across the deadly belt of sand
which oncircles the town and drives
trade from the very edge of Walter
boro to other centres? This move
would double tee business of the
■town and would therefore build it
up.
Or sail we close the door of hope
on all such plans as these which
would increase the property of the
town and put all the bond into a
new school building- a fifteen thou
sand dollar brick building?
We hear on all sides that the coun
ty dispensary will soon give place to
prohibition. Should this occur then
the sum of money given each year
by the dispensary to the school must
be raised by an additional tax on
the town. And this in addition to
all present taxes: county, town and
school, and, last but not least the
business license, and then suppose in
addition to all this we pile on another
thousand per year as interest on the
fifteen thousand school bond. Then
how many mills tax (if it can still
be computed in mills must each little
Walterboro home pay or be sold on
the block?
We learn that the present school
building is in terrible condition, win
dows broken out, blinds broken and
even desks falling to pieces.
Who. pould seek to defend such a
condition of affairs? Conditions tho
that just a little interest on the part
of the public and just a few hundred
dollars would enable the trustees to
remedy. But alas no. These things
must not be attended to yet we
must spend $16000.00 for a new
building.
Once upon a time there lived a
man who was too poor and too care-
to feed his old horse and so after a
while the horse starved to death.
But the man said: *‘Oh very well.
Never mind. I will mortgage my
house and buy me an automobile—a
big one.’* T
A few months after he started
running the big auto, the man
starved to death.

THE REASON
Why John M Klein. Continnea to Rec*.
omtnenii Vinol.
First* Because it is not • patent
medicine and it contains beside* tonic
iron all of the medicinal curative ele
ments of cod liver oil actually taken
from fresh cods’ livers, bat without a
drop of oil to nauseate and np set
the stomach and retard its work;
therefore wherever old-faahion cod
liver oil or emnlaiori will do good,
Vinol will do far more good.
Second: Because Vinol acta first
upon the stomach, creates a healthy
appetitepstrengthens and tones np
the digegtive organa, purifies and en
riches the Moog, and, in a natural
manner, restores health and strength.
Third: Because Vinol contains nu
injurious drugs to react upon the
system; every ingredient being named
on the (able, a patient knows exactly
what he ia taking.
Fourth: Because we never sold
anything in our store* that gave
such universal satisfaction for old
people, week, sickly women and
children, nursing mothers, and to
build np* the system after a aevera
sickness, and for relieving hacking
coughs, chronic odds, bronchitis and
all throat aad long troubles.
