SOUTH CAROLINA A S MABY- L A N D had lie en made a pro- prietary gov- ernment, I n like manner the territory extending from Virginia to Flor- ida was granted by Charles II in 1663 to eight gentlemen as a, reward for their efforts jn his behalf. The name Carolina comes from the Latin, Oarolus, meaning Charles. It was not really nitmed after Charles H, but originally in honor of Charles IX, Icing of France, by Hugue- nots who built a fort near Beau- fort in 1562. The fact that the Carolinas became later two distinct colo- nies was due to chance. It hap- pened that the earliest settle- ments located at points far re- moved from each other. The first permanent settlements in South C a r o 1 i na were about Charleston, while those in North Carolina were around Albemarle sound. The life in the two sec- tions also was quite different. South Carolina was largely de- voted to the cultivation of rice and Indigo and the planters soon t grew very rich with their large estates on which the labor ,was performed by slaves. In 'fact, just before the Revolution the population showed twice as many blacks as whites. In 1729 the'government of the Carolinas was turned back by _J the lord proprietors to the king ' and there was then formed the two separate provinces. South Carolina was the eighth state to adopt the Constitution, the, vote of ratification being passed in May, 17^8. The Pal- metto state, as South Carolina is sometimes called, extends over 30,989 square miles, and it par- ticipates in the presidential elec- tion to the extent of nine elec- tors.

PESSIMISTIC, BUT TRUE _«-X Peace is a beautiful thing, but be- fore we spend much time in dreaming of the peace of the world we should take practical sterjs to restore peace at homer There is a deadly war on here in America—a war to the finish. It is a war between the criminal ele- ment and respectability. Murderers, bank robbers, mail looters, holdup men and cheap thugs are becoming too numerous. Their depredations are of daily and nightly occurrence in the big cities. The criminal element is becoming so bold and so powerful and insolent as to constitute a distinct menace to the future of law and or- der and decency in this country. Probably the most- alarming phase of tn\e •wholeNansavory mess is the fa- cility with which these gangsters es- cape punishment. It is easier for a murderer or a holdup men to manu- facture a fictitious alibi than it is for a decent man to hick the cat. And there is always some lawyer crook ready and anxious to aid him in per- juring his neck out of the noose. It is getting to the point where country towns and rural communities are vi- tally interested in the suppression of this devil's horde. Even the most stagnant of water- will eventually find its level, and as the cities become overcrowded with criminals it is in- evitable that many of them will . branch out into the smaller commun- ities in search of fresh prey. The outlook is not conducive to that sound and refreshing sleep which country people enjoy. CAPE VINCENT'S OLDEST VETE- RAN AND BUSINESS MAN PASSES AWAY. At about half past-eleven o'clock Monday morning, at his home in Broadway, occurred the death of John G. Roseboom, after'an illness, of eight days, occasioned by a stroke which, he sustained oh Sunday evening, May 8. Since suffering the stroke Mr. Rose- boom had' grown gradually weaker and \his death was not unexpected. John G. Roseboom, who was eighty- three years of age, was born in the city of Albany, May 18, 1838, son of John H. and Isabelle (Gray) Rose- boom, and came to Cape Vincent with his parents in 1852. Shortly after he engaged in-the > hardware business with his father, the firm at that time being known as John H. -Roseboom & Son, and had always worked at this occupation with the exception of the years that he served as a soldier in the Civil war. He was always a very active man, and until stricken about a week ago had enjoyed the best of health. In 1862, Mr. Roseboom enlisted in Oo. D, 122nd Regiment, New York State Volunteers, and was mustered, into the service at Elmira. He parti- cipated in a number of battles with his regiment and in one of the en- gagements in\ the Wilderness he was wounded and taken prisoner by the Confederates. He was sent to Lib.by prison, where he remained two weeks, and was then transferred to the prison at Andersonvdlle, where he served eleven months. He was hon- orably dischai-ged from the service, and at the time of Lee's surrender was at City Point, Va. On\ February 6, 1868, Mr. Rose- boom was married to Harriet Harris, of Bingthamton. From this union three sons and a daughter were born, Howard, H., of Wappingers Palls, N. Y., Charles C, of Carthage, George G., and. Mrs. Emma h. Evans, the two latter being deceased. Mrs. Rose- boom died nineteen years, ago. In 1903 he was united in marriage with Miss Jane Roberts, of Cape Vincent. Mr. Roseboom, upon attaining his majority affiliated with the Republi can party and in his younger years was' quite active in its affairs. He served the village as president, mak- ing a capable and efficient official. He was a.prominent member of Gen- eral D. B. Sacket Post, G. A. R. The death of John G. Roseboom has touched the entire community, and he will be greatly missed. His long career as a business man, had marked him as one of the landmarks of Cape Vincent, and We know of no man who could say a wor-fl pf condemnation against him.- <H$s happy disposition, his kindness of heart, his fairness in business, his generosity, his spirit of hospitality, his charity for the weak- ness of his fellowmeri, and his open- handed helpfulness toward all, brought to him the respect, confidence and love of all who knew him. Besides his widow, he is survived by two sons, Howard H., of Wappingers Falls, and Charles C., of Carthage; one brother, Howard Roseboom, of Seattle, and two sisters, Mrs. Louise Baum, of Valpariso, Indiana, and Mrs. Carleton Banks, of Perch River; also two grandsons, .Norman., Rose- boom, of Montreal, Canada, and Clyde Roseboom, of Carthage, and two granddaughters, Mrs. W. C. Castle, of Newport, R. I., and Miss Genevieve Roseboom, of Wappingers Falls. The fune.ral was held from his late residence Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock, the Rev. Arthur T: Cort, pastor of the Presbyterian church, of- ficiating. -Military honors were paid by the G. A. R v assisted by John C. Londraville Post, American Legion. Interment was made- in the family plot in Riverside cemetery. Snake-Charmer's Secret. \How does the snake-charmer cliarm? asks a writer tn the Popular Science Monthly. -That's one of the questions we've always asked ourselves. * And now an English doctor tells us one of the secrets. _, Take the case of the cobrn, for instance. It is a very venomous snake, yet the snake-charmer Is not banned wlien bitten by one. The secret lies in the fact that the charmer/'milks\ the cobra before he allows himself to be bitten. He makes the cobra bite Into a piece of meat, thereby expelling two thirds of the poison in its poison gland. When the charmer allows the snake to bite him immediately thereafter, there\ is not enough poison left in the gland to do any harm. ,What is the next step ? The charmer makes the snake bite a fowl while he squeezes the remaining drops of poison out of tlie snake's gland; the fowl flies, and the charmer wins the confidence of his audience. ENDS SHOULD BE VARNISHED Agricultural Department Tells ,How to Prevent Door From Sticking on Damp Days. A door which sticks to the frame every damp day is not conducive to unruffled feelings on the part of those who use it. The forest products lab- oratory of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture at Madison, Wis., has made public a method which obvi- ates the difficulty. Wood specialists there say that the fact that the top and bottom edges of a door are practically always left unfinished Is largely responsible for its troublesome habit of swelling and shrinking, file exposed ends of the vertical stiles, give the most bother, because wood picks up or gives off moisture more rapidly through^ sur- faces cut across the grain ' than through those cut parallel to the grain. If the doors in a house are to shut easily and fit tightly, It Is im- portant that their top and bottom edges be protected by paint or var- nish. If It is necessary to refit the door after it is hung, the freshly ex- posed surface should be refinlshed at, once.' Used Nature's Gifts. There are no indications that in re- mote time either oil or gas was put to much practical use as modern people understand that term, but there is little doubt that priests 'of the fire- worshiping cult which flourished in old Persia made \good things\ out of the phenomena. Not far from Beku' are the ruins of a temple of the cult which is believed to have been in ex- istence for more than 2,500 years.\ Tower beacdus and altars are provided with channels concealed In the mason- ry, which demonstrate that gasfltting is not a craft of modern birth. These channels led from fissures in the earth which once furnished natural gas. To this temple came pilgrims from all parts of the Bast aa'lale as the eighties^ of the last century. Be- sides the walls of the temple today stands a modern refinery, furnishing an emphatic contrast in the old and new uses of Nature's ijlft ot oil and gas.

In spite of the downpour of rain, Grange hall was well filled Friday evening, the occasion being the com- munity sing and' recreation evening conducted by Prof. Cass Whitney, of Ithaca, and Miss Irene Field, of Wa- ter-town. Prof. Whitney sang two selections which were greatly enjoy- ed. Familiar songs, humerous songs, motion songs and rounds were popu- lar with- the audience, which respond- ed enthusiastically to every sugges- tion of the leader. Altogether it was an evening of pleasure and profit. Miss Anna L. Ryder, aged 83 years, and for many years a resident of this place, died last Friday morning at the home of her niece, Mrs. George H. Fassett, Sr., on the Dry Hill road, near Adams .Center.\ She had been ill for about a month, suffering from heart trouble and. a general break- down due to old age. She had made her home with hep- niece .for about a year. The funeral was held Saturday afternoon at 2 from Three Mile Bay Methodist Episcopal church burial be- ing made in the local cemetery. She was born at Point Salubrious, the daughter of David and Anna Ryder.

She is survived by her sister-, Mrs. John Corey, of Watertown, and sev- eral nephews and nieces. JOHN C. LONDRAVILLE POST No. 832. It is' with deep sorrow that we look upon the death of our comrade of the War of 1861-1865, Mr. John'G. Rose- boom, who passed away at his late home Monday, May 16, at 11:30 a. m. A man,-who bore a spirit of true; patriotism, who had a strong love for eountry, practicing Americanism of the finest kind, always ready to aid in patriotic cereihohies and obser- vances of all kinds, His spirited re- marks at our membership meeting held last May can well be remember- ed by us as displaying a sense of loy- alty, patriotism and service, .ready to help and assist us in our t advance- merit. At the advanced age of 83 years he closed his term of service -to the great Republic. After honorable work well done he has earned his discharge and.has gone to repor-t to the Commander of all. We, as mem- bers of the John C. Londraville Post, have met this Wednesday afternoon tb do for the departed, what he would have nobly done for any one of us, to pay\ a final tribute to one who's ex- ample of Americanism we should be always ready to follow. s There will shortly be distributed from the office of the Adjutant Gen- eral, at Albany, instruction sheets and application blanks for the State Bonus. These will be sent to every post of the American Legion, in the state and distx-ibution of the bonus will be carried out through the Post Bonus Commission of the Legion. The local post will establish a head- quarters in the village and will be prepared to h'andle application with- out charge. v The American Legion is responsible for the passage of the State Bonus Act and, always stands ready to_ aid all men who- have been in the service. It is for this reason that a committee from the John C. Londraville Post will see that every man entitled to the bonus will be cared for. Make a special effort to be present at the next regular meeting Monday, May 23( at promptly 8 o'clock in Legion headquarters. Important busi- ness to be transacted.

The meat of tile whale extends In great boneless masses, in uniform quality, from the base of the skull to the tail fin. m appearance It Is similar to beef, but is somewhat coarser In texture. Its flavor is said to suggest venison. One of the best \cuts\ of the whale Is tlie heart, which weighs 3,000 pounds. Still Continues to Fall, as It Did When It Nourished the Chil- dren of Israel. The biblical story of the feeding of the children of Israel upon -manna from heaven during their wandering ID the wilderness on the way to the land of Canaan does not record a mir- acle, according to the American con- sul at Jerusalem.. In an official report to t the government the consul states that manna is found now in the re- gions of Upper Mesopotamia and Kurdistan, and along the Persian frontier. It falls, he says, in' the form of dew during September, October and November, and lodges upon the leaves of oak trees. It Immediately hardens and assumes the form Of a grain. Early in the morning, before the heat of the day, it is gathered by spreading sheets beneath the' trees, which are shaken, and the manna is then collected and stored for winter, to be used as a food, or shipped to Bagdad for sale In the bazaar. The manna falls on other vegeta- bles, including grass, but all of it is lost except that which • is gathered from the oak leaves. The manna is sweet, and Is eaten by tile natives as a substitute for sugar or honey. The consul says it is highly prized for its aromatic flavor. The Success of the \EASY\ The decided preference for the \EASY\, which is constantly being displayed by housewives, is not mere chance or luck. It is due to the principle upon which it is constructed—air . pres- sure and suction. For the \EASY\ VACUUM ELECTRIC WASHING MA- , CHINE does the work of human hands, thoroughly and almost without effort. The vacuum cups force the hot, soapy water by air pressure • through the meshes of the garments and by suction draw it back again. Sixty times a minute this happens with .the result that every particle of dirt is promptly and effectively removed, No rubbing, tearing or dragging, or heavy cylinder to, lift. The polished copper tank has a greater capacity than any other electric washing machine. It is placed at just the right height. -•\ The \EASY\ is made from best materials obtainable—solid copper, brass, aluminum and enameled steel. The demand for \EASYS\ has become so great that the mariu facturers have been compelled' to erect one of the largest wash- ing machine factories in the world^with a capacity of 1,000 \EASYS\ per day. - Give the \EASY\ a chance to talk to you in your own laun- dcy without obligation. • Yiou will be mighty glad you did.

V In Cairo the argliul is played at night in the old city, and on the streets.of the underworld, lending its note and interpretation to love songs that somehow follow when everything else in life has been lost or left be- hind, writes Robert Hamilton Rucker in Asia Magazine. At an Arabian caSe an, old man from the street will play and young men will sing while the coifee is being made. The arghul sings with each and talks with each, sympathizes, understands and seems so earnest as to make one half believe that the young man is singing from his own heart and that the arghul, long accustomed to such confidence, knows it full well. But, ltlce many of tlie country bred, '.t seems to degenerate when it comes to town. It fails upon evil ways; it sings of love to the loveless; it hovers about tlie low cafes. Its friend, the tabla—more pretentious, and perhaps .more astute—changes its name when It comes to town and does not appear alone at night in dark, unfrequented streets. It is known as the darabukeh, and Is seen In the high-class cafes where favorites dance to the music it brings. It has more rhythm than melody; much volume but little feel- ing. It talk's from tlie head and sings to the feet. But the arghul Is nil sentiment jind sympathy. Its place Is the desert; its home, we knew as we listened- there on the rugs in front of our tents, is in the -wastes of the sandy plain and the stillness of the starlit -night.
