TACITUS ON THE GERMANS.
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. . . .”

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.).

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.
