THE STORY OF
OUR STATES
By JONATHAN BRACE
t© by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
NEW YORK
THIE story of New
1 York should
Al rightly begin with
ft;/ fjw eighty-five
IH IUMm JJf years before Henry
Hudson’s voyage in
his little boat, the
• Half Moon, up the
river which now bears his name. For
at that early date an Italian navi
gator, Verrazano, exploring for France,
sailed Into New York bay. This first
visit to New York made little stir and
was soon forgotten, and It was Hud
son's rediscovery which tempted the
Dutch to send over colonists and ob
tain for the Dutch West India com
pany a monopoly of the Dutch fur
trade In America. The new colony
which was started In 1023 called its
territory New Netherlands, after its
mother country, and their principal
city New Amsterdam. It is Interesting
to reflect that Manhattan Island, which
Is now New York city, was purchased
from the Indians for $24 worth of
beads and ribbons. Even In its earliest
days the settlement on Manhattan Is
land was cosmopolitan. In 1043 It Is
reported that eighteen different lan
guages were spoken there. In 1004 the
English captured New Netherlands,
and King Charles II presented the col
ony to his brother, the duke of York,
who was later King James 11, and its
name was then changed to New York.
New York played a leading part in
the formation of the United States.
It was Alexander Hamilton who was
New York’s representative in framing
the Constitution and it was New York
city which was selected as the first
capital of the new Union, where Wash
ington was inaugurated the first pres
ident. Ever since the Empire state, ns
New York Is sometimes called, has
held the deciding voice In presidential
elections. Though its size is only
49,204 square miles, not quite half way
In the list of states according to area.
Its great population gives New Y'ork
forty-five presidential electors, the
largest number of any of the states.
NORTH CAROLINA
®T HE capital of
1 North Carolina
is very appropri
ately named Ra
leigh, for it was
Sir Walter Raleigh
who was respon
sible for North
Carolina’s first settlement. It was in
1584 that Raleigh obtained permission
from Queen Elizabeth to plant an
English colony in America, and the ex
peditions which he sent established a
little colony on Roanoke Island. There
In 1587 was born the first American
child of English parents. She was
named Virginia Dare, after the virgin
queen. This colony, due to England’s
war with Spain, could not be properly
supported, and after a few years per
ished. It was not until over a century
later that permanent settlements wer6
made. Daring pioneers from Virginia
pressed south into the new territory,
and these, augmented by a large com
pany of Huguenots from France and a
greater number of Germans from the
Palatinate, founded the first North
Carolina town of Newburn In 1710. By
the time of the Revolution the popu
lation in North Carolina had increased
to such an extent, with an influx of
Scotch-Irish and Scotch Highlanders
who settled chiefly in the western
counties, that it ranked fourth among
the original thirteen colonies. Today
Its population entitles it to twelve
electoral votes for President. In area
it stands about half way among the
states with 52,420 square miles. North
Carolina was the twelfth state to
adopt the Constitution, the formal
ratification taking place In November,
1789. The derivation of the name
Carolina, as in the case of South Car
olina. came from the Latin Carolus,
meaning Charles, and was given orig
inally In honor of King Charles IX
of France and retained by King
Charles II of England. North Carolina
is also known as the Old North state.
Novel Pistol.
A Frenchman has perfected the in
vention of a “poison pistol.” If one
Is not permitted to carry firearms, a
poison pistol will do the work as ef
ficiently. It Is like an ordinary gun In
appearance but without bullets or cart
ridges. The handle of the gun con
tains a poison gas fluid. If the trig
ger is pressed a thin stream of the
poison fluid shoots out and acts in
stantly.
The Reason.
“Doctors do not exercise any dis
crimination in their business.”
“Why not?”
“Their patients are invariably al*
chosen."
