~ the territory

ida was granted by Charles III
in 1868 to eight gentlemen as
reward for their efforts in his
behalf. The name Carolina
comes from the Latin, Carolus,
meaning Charles. 1t was not
, really named after Charles III,
but originally in honor of Charles
, IN, king of France, by Hugue-
nots who built fort near Beau
fort in 1862.
The fact that the Carolinas
became later two distinct colo
MES was due 10 chance. III hap
pened that the earliest settle
, ments located at points far re-
moved, from each other. The
first permanent settlements in
South Carolina 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
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 1129 the government OF the
Carolinas was turned back by
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, 17SS. The Pal
metto state, as South Carolina
is sometimes called. extends over
30,9S9 square miles, and IL par

Default Out for Season.

Coach Robb put the Catholic Uni
versity football squad through another
stiff workout yesterday in tackling the
dummy. signal practice and scrim-

strenuous program Is that seven men

that of Bobby Default. whose broken
Jaw will keep him out Of the game
for two months at least, and perhaps
for the balance, Of the season.
Curran. a backfield man of last year,
reported yesterday about fifteen pounds
heavier than in 1920. vorsinger. an
other veteran, also turned up. tipping
the scales at 1870. He Is out for center
