s1- The present number completes
the third year of the Echo. And we
would say to our friends that as We are
much in need of money, now is the time
for those of them who are square on our
books, to renew their subscriptions and
to those who arc indebted to us-some
for two years and over-that it is high
time they paid up. The money is due
us and We want it; because the amount
is small is no justification for keeping
us out of our right, at all. If the
amount is small so much the more easy
for you to pay-the aggregate is, to us
considerable of a sum. If the pape,
is not worth to you the subscription
price, just pay what you owe and dis
continue it. We should be pleased t.
have your patronage SO long as you pa.
for the paper-no longer.

"PRrNTERs CAN READ ANYTHING"
The above remark is often made by
correspondents and advertisers, as an
excuse for half spelled words, abbrcvia-
ted tcchnicalities, and slovenly, unread
able writing generally. There is no
doubt that printers are better decypher-
ers of bad manuscript than any Other
class of persons. But when, for in.
stance, a merchant writes, even in hi
plain and beautiful hand, that he ha'
received five barrels BIS, ten pounds
Ck.; it is somewhat Difficult to deter
mine whether the merchant reslly mean
boots, biscuits, or buttcruuts chalk
cheese, or churns; cloves, clocks, o
clans.

7, the Editors of the Literary Echo -
noticed in your article on cold cut
nails, in last weeks issue, the name Of
Jeremiah Wilkinson as the original in
ventor, which might have been the case,
but he soon passed the invention over
to Benjamin Walcott, of Cumberland,
who carried on the business extensively
for those infant days Of cut nails, having
manulactory some three hundred feet
long, each of his nails were marked W
on the head.
This Jeremiah Wilkinson also intro
duced about the same time, from Gene
see, N. Y, the well known long rec
potato which was called after his name
for some years, and is now cultivated ii
many parts of the country very advan
tageously, being less liable to diseas'
than other varieties.
He was also brother to the once cclc
brated JcmimieW Wilkinson, whose histor.
is known amongst us, and has been dea'

its old namc-the Wilkinson Cherr

lfor the Literary Ecb,
Historical.

In a work just from the press and
soon to be circulated through the State
= Jackson's Churches in Rhode
Island"-a work Of special interest and
we'll worth its cost (fifty ccnts) to every
citizen on account of its historical and
statistical collections, we CLEAN the fol-
lowing interesting items, among others,
relative to Washington County.
This county was organized in 1929,
under the name of Kings county, and
consisted of two of the Providence Plan
tations, viz, (l) The Narragansett
Lands, erected into township by the
name of Kingstown, in October, l764,
but divided into North and South Kings
ton in May, 1922; and (2) Westerly,
formerly the District of Westerly, called
by the Indians Misquamicut, of whom
it was purchased in 1868, and erected
into a township in May, 1869. The
other four towns now found in the county
were formed and added as follows,
Charlestown, named in honor of Charles
ii. the grantor of the last charter, was
taken from Westerly and organized in
1888. Exeter was formed from North
Kingston and Incorporated March, l742
Richmond was taken from Charlestown
and erected into a township in August
l747. Hopkinton was taken from Wes'
terly and Incorporated in March, 1857.
The name Of the county was changed
from Kings to Washington, at time
under circumstances, and tor reason:
that make the event quite worthy o
note and remembrance. The following
is the " record found in the schedule o
that PERIOD" October, 1871 :-"Where
as, since the Declaration Of the Inde
pendence of the United States of Amer
lea, it becomes the wisdom of the rising
Republic to obliterate as far as may be
every Trace and Idea of that Govern
ment which threatened our destruction
"Be it enacted by the General AS
sembly. and by the Authority thereo
it is hereby enacted,
, "That the name of Kings County
, by which the southernmost county il
, this State was heretofore distinguished
e shall forever hereafter cease ; And tha
r in perpetual and grateful Remembrance
of the eminent and most distinguishe
e Services and heroic Actions, OF tn
b illustrious Commander in Chief of tn
c Foroos of the United States of America
It the said county shall forever hereafte
g be known and called, in all legislativ
e Acts, legal Proceedings, Conveyance'
y &c., by the name and style of WASH
5, INGTON."
r The present population of this count
n is 1860. In it there are houses
j. worship sufficient to accommodate ID
10 355. The total valuation of the take

in the county is set down at 6,S22, ,0o'

Rcsolrcd, That the quota of this State
called out upon the requisition of the
President of the United States, under
the Act of April 10th, 1912, is justly
entitled to pay and allowances during
the period for which it was embodied it
being from about the 10th of August,
1919, to the 10th OF April, 1914, a
period of about twenty months.
ResOlred, That the Senator'S and Rep
resentatives of this State in Congress,
be requested to urge on Congress the
justice of making provisions for the
pay and allowances Of the individuals
composing said quota and that they
endeavor to procure the enactment of a
law which shall place the individuals
composing said quota on the same foot
ing in respect to pay, bounties, &c., as
other state troops detached under the
requisition Of the President, during
said war.
ResOlred, That the Secretary of State
be authorized to transmit these resolu-
tions to each of our Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress.
