A BIT OF niSTORY.
Commodore Perry's Gnns
Woke Up The Japanese.
Originally the islands that make up
Dal N-ppin, ur Grra'cr .Japan, were
peoplod by a Caucasian race, who occupy
in Japanese history a position similar
to the early Britons in English history.
Theso people, now represented by the
hairy Ainus of Northern Yeddo, were
driven northward by the storm of Mongolians,
who swept across Korea from
Northern China. The first great lender
known was Jimtnu Tenno, who founded
his dynasty about GOO B. C. He is deified
as the descendant of Amatersau,
Goddess of the Snn. Another string of
Mongolics came from Malaysia by way
of thy string of islands. To this southern
strain is probably due the mercurial
temperament of the Japs. Superficially
the Japs rteni to resemble the Chinese,
close examination proves that the race
h??s been evolved independently. They,
howover, absorbed the earlier Chinese
civilization.
The history of the succeeding centuries
is vague until about 200 A. I),
when an aruazmian empress by the
appropriate name of Jingo c-.ptured Korea.
This compaign was a big thing for
Japau in more ways than one. The
vassals brought with their tributes the
k iowledge of writing, the mulberry and
the silk worm. The art of spinning and
weaving followed, and in the year 552,
the hist-imago of Buddha appfnred.
Ih the succeeding century there was a
perfect rage?like that now for western
ideas?for the civilization of China.
Arts, customs and opinions?whether of
eociety, morals or politics?were assimilated
with the greatest ardor. Buddhism
made rapid progress Feudalism
was instituted and great dices were
made hereditary and the Suoguu of
Yeddo (slio-general, gun-army) became
of greater power than the Mikado. In
the Ufteenth century the mikuio and
shogun got, to fighting, and b?th were
whipped by the fcamural, or warrior &
After that a sera-s of strong shognns
held sway over the laud.
In 1845, the Portugese navigator,
M-ndez Pinto, with a lot of followers,
landed and soon established himself.
He was followed by the Jesuit missionary,
St. Frances Xavier, who made rapid
progress, the imitative Japs taking
readily to the new visitors and new customs.
But the visitors were too free,
aud were ordered awuy iu 1597. By
1638, after terrible persecution, Christianity
was extirpated and all foreigners
were kept away except the Chiuese and
Dutch traders. This expulsion was accomplished
by the Tobugawa Shoguns,
who introduced a hotrrible system of
espionage, which has left its mark until
the present day in the shape of dishonesty
aud lack of civic courage.
When Commodore Perry knocked at
the door of Japan in 1854, the Shogun
rule and the last phase of mediaevalism
fell before the modern civilisation.
That date, when the treaty with the
United States was signed, March 31,
1854, was the birth of modern Japan.

wero opened lip to trade 1859, aud the
next year we sent a minister to the court
of the Mikado.
The daimos, or military leaders, were
a long time in accepting the changed
conditions, and there were many attacks
on the foreigners. Our own legation
was attacked in 1801, and an interpreter
killed, and the legation was burned in
1803. Reprisals and punitive expeditions
followed for several years, and it
was about 1808 before order came about
after the young mikado had overthrown
the military rulers. The first year of
enlightened rule really was 18G8, when
the mikado moved to Tedo, changed its
name to Tokio and made it the capital
of the empire. He scon abolished the
feudal system and began to copy the
ideas of the western civilization. The
first newspaper appeared in 1870, and
the first railway was opened two years
later. History moved rapidly after that
and the country was opened to foreigners
general'y. The edict against Christians
was removed arnl missionaries welcomed.
A constitution granted to tho
people went in*> ffeot In 1889. Japan
declared war o.? _ uiua on February 12,
1895, which lasted less than a year.
After the treaty of peace Russia stepped
in and robbed Japan of all the fruits of
victory except the Island ot Formosa,
and the retention of the captured Chinese
navy.

Union, S. C., Feb. 19tb, 1904.
To the members of Union Division:
We have lost another member of this
division. \Villiam Little, of Bogansville
township departed this life Feb. 6th,
1904 lie wa3 the bolder of Policy No

Let us be prompt in paying this assessment.
I^et us stand together and pay
our assessments for the benefit of the t
living. Think what this means. The ;
next one who dies may leave a destitute
family and we ought and will feel that
we have done some good in this life. It
is left to us to make this insurance what
\t ought to be. Every member should
go to woik and get into this division one
member and thus our policies would be
very valuabla to us. This is the best insurance
that hatf'ever been h.augu.ialed
in Union county.
Very truly,
J. M. Grker,
