SaUafmluia V BILL ABr9 LBTTEB. I feel "pleased and honored to re ceive letters every day from young girl, and boy over the south asking for information on some subject or for help in a school debate or for a start in a composition just a start in a composition just a start.- These young peop'e are generally from the country, where books are scarce and their eagerness for knowledge and mental improvement u very gratify ing. I wish that I was three or four men so that I could respond to all their letters and comply with their request. I reply to as many as I can, but I cannot take time to write compositions, even if it was right to do bo. One boy begs me to write him a speech, a humorous speech, and winds up by asking me please to write two, so that he may take choice. We see that some of the good ladies of the Atlanta Woman's Club are moving to supply the country schools with small libraries of good books and the- Southern ; railway has donated neat book cases for them. This, of course, is for Fulton county, but it is a move in the right direction and will, no doubt; stimulate the ladies of other towns to do the same thing. It is the very, best thing I have heard of a woman's club doing. The desire for books to' read is 'almost universal among the young people of the rural districts, and ! they ; should be en- 'couraged. Books are cheaper than ever before known, and cheap book cases can be Had tor a lew dollars each: I am not at all intimate with Mr. Carnegie, but if I was I - would whisper in his philanthropic ear and suggest that he turn his attention for awhile to the towns and villages and let the big cities alone. Our Carters ville Woman's Club is struggling hard to keep up their little library, but are not encouraged by the men of the town. Their books are out all the time, and are read and re-read by many of the children whose fathers do not give a dollar to help maintain the library. This may be though t les8ne8S, and so I have suggested that the ladies go around and see who will give 50 cents or 25 cents, or even 10 cents a month to keep up the supply and pay their room rent and inciden tal expenses. Of course the character of the books must be thoroughly con sidered. Nothing sectional or trashy or sensational; but only' those that "point a moral or adorn a tale." Every public school should have ' a burning committee, such as they have at Forsyth, Ga. A bright boy from Alabama writes that hia name ; is John Jones, and wants to know when and . how he got' it; says his. father and grandfather had the same name, but they died without tellinir where they eot it. He says his schoolmate is named Will Higginbotham and he, too, wants to know where his .name came from. I admire their eager curiosity, for our name is our signboard and every boy ought to know who put it1 up and what it reads. Of course it is too big a thing to tell much about names in a letter like this, but I must tell Jack and Bill about theirs. John is as old as the Christian era. and means " Whom Jehovah loves." I knew a man very well who lived near Rome, and his four sons were named Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and his ' two daughters were named - Mary and Martha. Those good old-time people had great rever ence tor the Bible and Bible names. One of my father's customers was named Shadrack Bogan, and his three sons were Shadrack, Mesback and Abednego. Another customer, David Allan, named his son Absalom, and for a wonder he was a good, boy and made a good man, and his father. David, had no occasion to say, "Oh, Absalom, my 8Qn,iny sonl"' Well.in course of time the people increased and multiplied so that their children had to have two names, so as to distinguish them, and so John's son was called - Johnson in English, or John Johns in Welsh. After while it became John Jones. The Joneses are all of Welsh ) origin. The Welsh were a brave, 'religious people, and fought the English for many cen turies. They never did submit until they were .. promised : that v no king should rulo them, except one born on their soil, and he should be called the prince of Wales. King Edward's son happened to; be born at a beauti ful little Welsh town named Caernav- ron, and the Welsh accepted him as their furure king and called him the prince of Wales, and that is how the title Btarted. He was King Edward II. Now, there wa another Welsh way of distinguishing the "son from the father. The little word "Ap" means Bon of, and it used to be written John ap Jones, but in course of time the little middle word was dropped. It is a little singular tbat away back in the tenth century the Welsh people who had been fighting ea h other in civil wars for two hundred years at last made friends: and chose David ap Howell fo their king, and he had a son named Evan. , He - was a gqod man, and his subjects always called him Howell- Da Howell the good. That must be our Evan of The At lanta Constitution. He has just been hid out all bese "years. I see tbat the chamber of commerce gave a banquet yesterday and Evan Howell responded to the toast 'Good Fellow-' ship." That suited him exactly, I know, and had I been there I would i have told how his great ancestors was ; called tae "Da" and was the last king' Wales. I called him over the tele phone this morning and said "Hello Dal' and he answered "Here!" -Now about Bill Higginbotham. That is old Anglo Saxon, and means a mountain ark. j The old name was hicken. . Probably the old ancestor took his name from an ash tree that shaded his house. Names were scarce, and people took their surnames from objects of nature, such as hill, foun tain, dale,, peakppine, plants, oaks, -chestnuts, grub, twigs, branch, water, pool, moon, starcloud and so forth; or from their occupations as bake?, farmer, carpenter mason, miller, gar dener, granger and all. the family of smiths who were the smiters of iron and silver and gold. All who were detailed to watch for an invading enemy were called sm iters or smiths. John Smith was originally John, the smiter. Captain John Smith was an illustrious type of that class. When names were too long to pronounce readily, they were shortened op, Peter, who lived at the Seven Oaks, was ea led Peter Svnoaks; then Petr Snooks, and that's how our Atlanta friend came by hia name. The name Coward was originally cow herd a herder1 of cattle and was not improved by the chance. The adjutant of our brigade was named Coward, and the army had no braver soldier. He lost an arm at Chicka hominy. He always signed hi name A Coward, adj't. gent, and being asked whv he did not sign his fail name, said: 'Well, my first name unfortunately, is Adam, and it is not quite so bad to be a coward as it is to be a-dara coward." ' A few centuries ago every civilixed nation had to adopt a prenxvor a suffix so as to prevent , the confusion of names. The English added son to most of their names, as Johnson, Williamson, Jackson, Thompson, etc. The Scotch prefixed with Mac. The Irish with Mac or Mc for sod and O for grandson. The French took De or Du. The Normans used fitz.or fils (from Latin of fillus, a son). The Russians took vitch from the same word. ; " . Then there are many nicknames to be' accounted for, such as Bob, Bill, Dick, Jack, Jim, 8ally, Polly, Betsy, etc. I don't know how these started, but some of them came out the col lieries of England and the quarries of Wales, for every miner has a nick name as Nosey, Soaker, Shanks, Jig ger or something easy to call. I had a ghoolmate whose name was Mel ville Young. One day he was trying to do a! sum in Fellowship at the blackboard and wrote down what he intended to-D but it looked like tod, and the teacher said "What do you mean by tod?" That was enough for the boys. They began to call him Tod, and they never quit, and he was known as. Tod Young all his after life. 1 , But the girls are' not so much in terested in name for almost every girl expects to change hers when the right youg man comes along. She i not obliged to marry a man named CruikshanksorSnoozlefanteror Hogg, but, I've known them to do it, and th-y did very well. Bill Arp. P.

Tue Sun is authorized to state that the plans for the machinery of wireless telegraphy to eignal across the ocean have been completed and a site for the pknt selected by Nikola Teela, and that the project will at once-be actively begun. It is estimated that the time re quired to perfect the apparatus will be about aight months. i ' We have received inquiries of late as to Mr. Tenia's place among inventors, and as to his credentials to fame.

The disgraceful scenes in the Austrian Reichsiatb, or parliament, which ip recent years have blocked all legislation and compelled the Emperor to suspend the sittings of the body have beenagain repeated during the past week, culmina ting in riotous demonstrations rarely witnessed in that turbulent assembly. The Opposition asserted iteelf by hurling filled ink poll, rulers and books at the Cabinet ministers. Deputy , Eayedi dealt Premier Szeel a blow in the face, and Herr Lukac, the Minister of Fi nance, received a black eye. The Min isters finally fl i from the chamber, and the Deputies continued to fight among themselves until blood .began to flow every whera when the sitting was adjourned. The Emperor has again threatened to prologue the body. It is now apparent it that will scarcely be possible for the United States to withdraw entirely from the Government of Cuba under the most favorable circumstances before next fall.

QiKiiaowoCTca,wcwTOWc Baking OAILT KEWIPArEai, State vllle Landmark- The Evening Herald, a bright little daily afternoon paper at Henderson. edited by lit. WuVx. Coley. formerly. of the Mock villa Time, has suspend ed , publication. In - annoancing the suspension of his paper EJitor Coley ays; -- In oar opinion, Henderson is not yet large enough, nor te there eooogo boat neat transacted in the town, fr it to support a, daily pap. W first thought it was, but a thorough trial of ten months baa convinced tut tbat we were mistaken. Mr. Coley is not the first, newspaper man who has made this sort of a mis take and he won't be the last. The newspaper field is overworked consid ering the fact that so large a nuirbrra? our population do not take Jii : io4 their bnie papers but in no depart- jaent i( it more sadly overworked than io the attempt to publish daily papers in towns of small population where there it really no field for a daily. Of course tome tort of a sheet can be pub lished in a town of 2,000 or 3,000 peo ple and called by courtesy a daily newt- paper, but no well regulated i editor! should be content to father such a pro duction, and no well regulated coin tri ¬ nity - should - want such a produclkjn sent out to represent their town. ' We have submitted these remarks in passing for the reason that Tbe Land markha at various umet and seasons been urged to' publish a daily paper in sjtateeville. We know enough about the newspaper business to know that there is no field in Statesville for a daily paper of any consequence and we would not be content to publish one that 'was not large enough and complete enough to command respect Under ordinary conditions, no town of lees than 6 000 to 10,000 population is sufficient for a daily paper1 even a local daily of con sequenceand sometimes even towns of this size, or larger, do not support n daily. Much depends ou the character f the town, its environments and mail facilities, even when population - ie leemed sufficient. Some years ag the publishers of The Landmark realized tbat Statesville de served something more. than a: weekly and Tbe Ltndmark become a semi- weekly. ' Whenever we think the fi4d sufficient for a daily, we will, if we are alive and standing on our feet, begin the publication of one, but we will first be sure that there is business enough to oh ke a ps per that neither tbe publishers or the community will be ashamed of. It is very eaBy to ftit down with: pencil and paper and figure out a profit io a newspaper the late Chas. R. Jones used to say that nothing else would figure out so well but results are some thing else, as every well-informed new paper man knorvy. Of course tfaere Vb people who will not be convinced until they have had experience like that of Mr. Coley at Henderson, but there are enough daily newspaper wrecks in the State and enough papers that have a half-starved, slipshod appeamnce to convince any experienced newspaper man that running a daily paper or any other sort of paper isn't as easy and simple as it looks. - Tbe Impeachment Case, Charlotte Observer. Theophilus White held the office of shell fih commissioner. Tbe Legisla ture of 1899 undertook to abolish him, and in a supplemental act forbade the Treas irer of the State to pay "any compensation to any person or persons claiming the same for services . render ed concerning, the shell-fish industry unless such person or persons are au thorized to Tender such services under the provisions of the said act" refer ring to tbe act abolishing White'e office and creating instead of it a shell fish commission composed of seven mem bers. This was for the purpose of de priving White of his salarv, and he brought suit in the Superior Court not -against the State, which he could not do, but against tbe Treasurer, who was the custodian" of the funds arising from the supervision of the shell-fish indus try and out of which funds the ex penses, of supervision were payable. Judge Star buck, of the Superior Court, ordered a mandamus to issue against the Treasurer, compelling him to pay4 the amount claimed a little ever $800 and the case went to the Supreme Court on appeal. That court decided the case in accordance with the decision in Hoke vs. Henderson, iu which it is held that an office is property, and or dered a mandamus to issue upon the Treasurer. . Chief Justice Faircloth and Justices Farcbes and Douglas concur red in this action. For ordering the issuance of this mandamus Judge Furches and Douglas are now impeach ed and Judge Fairolfth would be if he had cot died. . ; This ie the case, as briefly as it can be stated, and the statement is made be cause a good(maoy persons seem not to be familiar with the merits of the case.

At the beginning of that cen tury there was a population ot 26.000.- 000 in the territory which France now occupies. The population of the same territory is now on 38,000,000. A hundred years ago the French was a fifth part of Europe; now they are but a tenth, la the last hundred years tbe other great nations have increased wonderfully. At the dawn of the nine teenth century "active humanity" numbered less than 200,000,000; now what may be called the progressive peoples number at least 800,000,000. .France has by no means kept pace with the advance of the other leading nations. . She hat lost in prestige, in comparative power and her population has increased very" little" m tbe last twenty-five years. " .
