Hampshire rounded out the necessary
quota of the states This beat yir-
ginia for the deciding vote by only
/ four days.
! The beginning of New Hampshire
leads back to Captain Mason, who had
been governor of Portsmouth in
Hampshire, England. Thus was the
name of the colony derived and also
that of its first city, Portsmouth. AS
a reward for Mason's faithfulness to
King Charles he was allotted a large
territory north of the Merrimac river.
The first settlements were started in
1923 in Rye and Dover. Shortly after,
a theological dispute arose in Boston,
led by Mrs. Anne Hutchinson, which
resulted in her being banished, Some
of her followers went north and found
ed Exeter not far from the towns of
Portsmouth and Dover. Shortly after
the town of Hampton was settled by
Massachusetts people. AS Captain
Mason died soon after this, these four
towns In 1641 Joined themselves to
Massachusetts. In 1879 however, King
Charles II separated them again and
formed the royal province of New
Hampshire.
The present area of New Hampshire
is 9,341 square miles. From the rug
ged aspect of its White mountains has
come the name Granite state, by which |
1t is often popularity called. The pop
ulation of New Hampshire warrants

| N$~sss 1xeE% which enabled the
Settl men at
jamestown to survive the privations
and difficulties that encompassed it
during those first years. There In 1907
was made the first permanent English
colony In America. The charter given
by King James / to what was known
as the London company, under whose
auspices Jamestown and the later Vir-
ginia settlements were founded, desig-
mated that this colony should extend
200 miles north and 200 miles south of
Old Point Comfort and stretch west
ward to the sea. Under the reign of
Charles II it was considered such an
important colony that it was called the
fourth dominion Of his empire, that is,
England, Scotland, Ireland and Vir-
ginia. From this Virginia was often
called the Old Dominion. The name
Virginia itself means the virgin land
and was so called after Queen Eliza
beth, the "Virgin Queen" The early
government of Virginia is of great in
terest. At first communism was tried,
under which system the land and all
property was owned in common and
all profits were divided equally. This
proved a disastrous failure. In 1919
the first real representative govern
ment in the colonies was established,
called the house Of burgesses, which !
continued In force under varying for
tunes until Virginia Joined the Union |
and became the tenth state in 1888. |
Much might be written of the char
acter of the early Virginian settlers
and their great influence on American
life. From Virginia has sprung two
other states, Kentucky and West Vir-
ginia. Even so, the states present
area is 1927 square miles. Politically
the Old Dominion state is entitled to
twelve presidential electors. This is
about the average of the southern
states.

concerning the condition of industries
were somewhat more reassuring, it
was said here. The situation, so far
as wheat and cotton are concerned,
has been somewhat improved by
heavy shipments of wheat and ad-

stock industry, however, has not
shown the hoped for Improvement and
it has been necessary to make pro-
visions for liberal financial assistance
to prevent a serious condition.
