Some Dakota Residents ant State
Called "Rooseve!t."
"A small group Of self-seelinS poll
ticians are seeking to have the
name of South Dakota changed to
Roosevelt" said Attorney General
William Lemkc of North Dakota, who
passed through Chicago on his way
east recently.
And the reason they give for their
wish. to change the name is the most
ridiculous thing about" he continued,
E. 1.-THE reason they advance, is be-
cause the socialist tendencies of North
Dakota have brought the name 'Da-
kota' into disrepute and they wish TO
rid themselves Of the stigma. !;
an the face OF this claim stands
the fact that South Dakota is follow
ing in. the footsteps Of her sister to
the north. She has a new state bank
ing bill up before the next session OF
lcgisla ture, and new home building DILL
and she has bought Il state coal mine
in North Dokata.
"The fact is that the people OF
South Dakota will not allow the states
ramc to be changed They regard the
old name with too much veneration
to change it, even in honor OF so great
statesman rs Colonel Roosevelt.

Endorse Shapiro Plan.-That the
farmers Of York, Lancaster Fairfield

cotton and stand ready to adopt a
sound, practical system for co-opera-

Hill last Thursday when those assem-
bled voted unanimously to enter into
a state cotton marketing organiEa

the meeting and" explained in detail
the system of marketing being pro-
posed. Six district meetings have
been held in as many parts OF the
state and at each place the movement
met with favor."I Mr.. Long explained
that the six governing, principles OF
cooperative marketing of farm pro-
ducts are as follows:
Organization by commodity or crop.

zation is sought. while in the lower
part of the state other commodity or

Organization without capital stock
and therefore n noa-dividend paying

growers, thus making the association

The people of this country feel that
they have been almost defeated; dis.

almost reached the limit of their en-
'durance. They rn"e been beating ia
retreat, but the time has come to beat
march and catch that new inspira-
ton which Napoleon's soldiers felt at
the stirring music brought forth by
tie indomitabie drummer boy who
knew not how to beat a retreat.
Every man who is pessimistic, or
who permits the discoura 3ements of
the hour to dominate rim. is beating
retreat. He is not only beating re-

beating a retreat for all with whom

in 1903 to eight gentlemen as q

comes from the Latin, Carolus, 4
meaning Charles. 1t was NOT
~ really named after Charles II,
,, but originally in honor Of Charles. ,
TX, king Of France, by Hugue-
nots who built q fort near Beau
fort in 1862.
The fact that the Carolinas
became later two distinct colo
nles was due to chance. 1t hap
pened that the earliest settle

moved from each other. The
J.. 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 1T29 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, rs South Carolina
Is sometimes called, extends over
309S9 square miles, and it par
ticipates in the presidential cleo
