This is not directly significant. The Germany of the first century, A. D., when Tacitus lived and wrote, was not the Germany of today. But it is casually interesting to read what Tac itus, famous historian of antiquity, said of the Germanic tribes and of their culture. These tribes were an cestors of modern Teutons. The fol lowing quoted extracts are taken from the Tacitus essay on Germany, but more with an. eye for interest than for balanced presentation. “They (the Germans) have a tra dition that Hercules also had been in their country, and him above all other heroes they extol in their song's when they advance to battle. Amongst them too are found that kind of verses by the recital of which they inspire bravery. . . . They chief ly study a tone fierce and harsh, with a broken and unequal murmur, whence the voice may be rebounding swell with greater fullness and force. . . (The stategy of terror). “For myself, I concur in opinion with such as suppose the people of Germany never to have mingled by inter-marriages with other nations, but to have remained a people pure and independent, and resembling none but themselves. Hence among such a mighty multitude of men, the same make and form is found in all, eyes stern and blue, yellow hair, huge bodies, but vigorous only in the first onset. Of pains and labor they are not equally patient, nor can they at all endure thrift and heat. To bear hunger and cold they are hardened by their climate and soil . . . “Of all the god's, Mercury is he whom they worship most. To him on certain stated days it is lawful to offer even human victims . - .” (Mer cury is the god of commerce and gain, with wings on his feet). “Without being armedl they trans act nothing, whether of public or pri vate concernment. But it is repug nant to their custom for any man to use arms, before the community has attested to his ability to wield them. Upon such testimonial, either one of the rulers, or his father, or some kinsman dignifies the young man in the midst of the assembly, with a shield and javelin. This amongst them is the manly robe, this the first degree of honor conferred upon their youth. Before this they seem no more than part of a private fam ily, but thenceforward part of the Commonwealth. ... To ancient men, the more they abound in descend ants, in relations and affinities, so much the more favor and reverence accrues. From’ being childless, no advantage or estimation is derived. “All the enmities of your house, whether of your father or of your kindred, you must necessarily adopt; a« well as all their friendships. . . .” Food Savings This week Every week 8 lb.

T. Summer, Inc. The above editorial of The State, Columbia, S. C., June 4, 1941, is es pecially interesting from a Jocal standpoint, for one tribe of those Germans, the Suabians in the south of Germany, now Wuertemberg sec tion, were ancestors of the Houseal family. Tactitus also writes that Julius Caesar never conquered the Suabians in his Gallic war. Caesar also admits this fact. The Suabians were armed with a sturdy wooden shield covered with the raw-hide of wild animals and they wielded a bat tle ax of great length, with which they repelled attacks of Roman sol diers as these cohorts sought to pene trate the dense forests of the Ger mans. This shield is called hau- scbieldt, from which word the name Hausihl is devired, later modified to Houseal in 1750, when the South Carolina ancestor, Capt. William Frederick Houseal of the Dutch Fork fought in the Revolutionary war, the name was anglicized to Houseal. W. W. Houseal (1818-1889) was the last of his line (male) to bear the name of Houseal in South Carolina, as the great-grandson of Capt. Houseal. Tactitus wrote his history of the Romans about 59 A. D. However, his reference to the Germans is the record of their war-like strenth is about 59 B. C. Therefore, the Hou seal family dates its ancestry from the time of the history of Gaul by Julius Caesar (59 B. C.). , W. P. HOUSEAL, Great-Great-Grandson of Capt. Wil liam Frederick Houseal.

( The attention of overplanted farm operators is particularly called to the regulations issued by the State AAA Committee, Columbia, S. C., on remeasuring farms and checking dis posed of cotton. The procedure set by the State Committee to be fol lowed by overplanted farm operators to comply under the 1941 Farm Pro gram is as follows: . 1. Rate of deposit required for re measuring a farm or a portion of a farm—6 cents per acre measured or $1.00 whichever is the larger. 2. Rate of charge for measuring disposed of acreage of a special a!-, lotment crop—12 cents times the acres disposed of or $1.00, whichever is the larger. 3. Minimum size of plot that may be disposed of—1-10 of an acre. 4. The number of plots of special allotment crops that may be disposed of on a farm shall not exceed five (minimum size of a plot to be 1-10 of an acre) except in case there are more than five families sharing in the crop to be disposed of, then the number of plots may equal but not exceed the number of such families sharing in the crop. In all cases the minimum size of plot that may be i disposed of is 1-10 of an acre. No refund of charges made for measuring disposed of crop acreages will be made in 1941. Refunds will be made only in cases of remeasure ment where the remeasurement is ac curately made and such remeasure- ent shows the farm to be definitely in compliance with special or permitted allotment or acreages. Before a re measurement or a check for crop dis posal may be made on a farm a re quest by the farm operator must be filed with the Treasurer of the Coun ty. Committee in the County Office and required deposit turned over to the Treasurer. IS THIS YOU? The descriptions in this column last week were Mrs. G. Y. Hunter and Mr. B. H. McGraw.
