There is a small margin of 9,033! between the combined vote of Coop-! er, Manning, Duncan and Dos-1 Champs over that of Blease. It is! highly probable that this number of the Cooper, Duncan and DesChamps supporters will fall into the Blease column on next Tuesday. The only way in the round world that we cam figure out to keep this demagogue from landing in the Governor's office for a third term is simply for every manning man to go to the polls and vote to keep Manning in the office and to keep Blease out of it. There are about 25,000 voters in the State who did not go to the polls and vote in the first primary. If this performance is repeated next Tuesday Governor Manning will he defeated. You can count on 100 per cent of the Blease vote br ing polled, then why not poll 100 per cent of the Manning vote?EVERY MANNING MAN should do his duty Tuesday by going to the polls and casting a ballot for Richard I Manning, and see to it that no one frtrtrpfjs nor neglects this inmortant .v.e 0 diity.

I - :E What tho Word Originally Meant and j How It Became Altered. | The brown, hard shell nut cover- ' ^ ed with coarse fiber and containing ei a white, brittle, oily "meat" and n< some sweetish liquor, generally call- p ed "milk," is the coconut and hot the cocoanut. This fruit of a great palm tree is a familiar thing on 1 the fruit stands and in the fruit !n shops and food markets all over the ] world. It has been an acceptable , (J article of food among Europeans L( for centuries, among Americans \ thnvA trnrA on Ah nnnn I n ! C*C1 dllicc uicic ouva | as Americans, and among the peo- n pies of the tropics for an undetcr- y< mined number of centuries. It is t< one of the very useful things that ^ grow, its use being so extensive and its uses many. ^ Its name is a curious one. Being ? about the size of a man's head, the o Spanish early explorers and oversea traders called it the coconut, "coco" being a slang or vulgar r Spanish word for n man's head. 1 The word in that sense survives in American slang. So. some early Spaniard, disregarding the native names for this jj nut, capriciously called it a co-conut, and there being something ^ catching in the name it passed from ' mouth to mouth until it became cstablished as the proper name of the ^ nut. t( A man who took the trouble to j look up the reason why the co-conut is perhaps more often than not called the co-coa-nut has written: "Cocoanuts have been misnamed for a century or more. It is 100 years 6ince a proofreader in London allowed the word to Blip into a dictionary as co-coa-nut. As many die tionaries printed since have shown v a 6heeplike imitation of this edi- F tion, the misspelling of the word o has been established. The word c 'cocoa' is the name of the bean from tl ^ which chocolate is made."?Wash- o ington Star. tl ?
