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.
