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 t aim; thrown at boutU.Junerica seem ,to huve ?tuck.to.Pcru. ^Tjio population Is sometliing over 4lO0Ui(KHf and of Kfiese 57 per cent sir. <1ie' aboriginal Inca Indluns.

The Amazon river finds Iis source in Peru., j j. The products1 pf the country are sugar, cotton, robber, cocon, rice, olives, sar8aparllla,L medicinal plants, dyes, etc. The annual output of silver is about $15.000,000* The great draw i ?.I- Itk. mmifi^?taAM? ..-.?

" The bulk of tub people are Incus, [an Indian tribe.which had a high state of civil(zatlern; even before the Spaniard cmun. #They cultivated many of the''arts'ana pursued agriculture, having trained llamas, alpacas, etc. They were skilled weavers and min ' ers. JThree centuries of oppression I lender-aae- Upsnlard *J"jlo?.h s va. dalmw?? 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 inogltablo that Iluerta must fall. The .Mexican* do not wish to buve him .1' the liead of the government. Then I by hastening the end by placing arms ! in the bauds of the rebeis.

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. TUE OLD, 01.1) CA M I!. Culleton Couuiy Farmer Had Ills Fur. tune Told. Charleston Post. W. <.!.

"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.
