~ the territory
extending from Virginia to Flor
ida was granted by Charles II
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 II,
but originally in honor of Charles
TX, 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 to chance. 1t 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
lions 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 I
performed by slaves. In fact,
just before the Revolution the
population showed twice as many
blacks as whites.
In 1929 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, 1888. The Pal :

is sometimes called, extends over :

E MkcA ES ma is very ap-
, EsE% lNANlH prop lately

V ~ leigh, for it
s..s was Sir Wal
ter Raleigh who was respOn-
sible for North Cardinals first
settlement. 1t was in 1884 that
Raleigh obtained permission
from Queen Elizabeth to plant
an English colony in America,
and the expeditions which he
sent established a little colony
on Roanoke island. There in
1857 was born the first Ameri-
can child Of English parents.
, She was named Virginia Dare,
after the virgin queen. This col
Ony, due to England's war with
Spain, could not be properly sup
ported, and after a few years
persisted. 1t was not until over
a century later that permanent
settlements were made. Daring
pioneers from Virginia pressed
south into the new territory, and
these, augmented by a large
company of Huguenots from
France and greater number Of
Germans from the Palatindte,
founded the first North Carolina
town of Newburn in 171O. BY
the time of the Revolution the
population in North Carolina
had increased to such an extent,
with an influx of Scotch-Irish
and Scotch Highlanders who
settled chiefly in the western
counties, that it ranked fourth
among tho original thirteen col
onies. Today its population en-
titles it to twelve electoral votes
for president. In area it stands
about half way among the states
with 52,426 square miles. North
Carolina was the twelfth state
to adopt the Constitution, the
formal ratification taking place
in November, 1889. The deriva-
ton of the name Carolina, as in
the case Of South Carolina, came
from the Latin Carolus, mean
ing Charles, and was given orig
inally in honor of King Charles
TX Of France and retained by
King Charles II of England.
North Carolina is also known
as the Old North state.

The handicap to industry is illustrat-
ed thereby should be obvious.
Not alone is the ability of the
Southern Pacific Company to give
service, impaired, whether that be
through the borrowing of money, for
its credit is necessarily affected
thereby for the making of improve
ments to meet growing demands, or
whether it is in the direct employment
of labor and use of materials, but al
so it is reflected in its consequent
inability to reduce freight rates and
passenger fares which in turn have
an effect upon other Industries.
The Ordway new era., 1921-06-17
HOW INDUSTRY IS HANDICAPPED

The problems of taxation are of vi
tai interest to every western state
where the tax bill has reached a per
capita amount that is burden and a
handicap to the average citizen and
industry. No man is so small or no
industry is so large but what it feels
the heavy hand of the tax gatherer.
California offers a striking illustra-
tion to the terrific cost of government
to-day. In that state the people are
paying in taxes a million dollars a
day. according to Paul Shoup, Vice
President of the Southern Pacific
Company in an address before the
California Bankers Association at
San Diego. Shoup discussed the gen
eral tax situation in the United
States and in more detail that in Cal
ifornia. Some of his statements were
as follows:
Taxation is the greatest burden
industry has today"
aside from our war obligations
the great growth in taxation is due
to the indirection of it's application
and the lack of feeling of responsible
ity in connection with its creation"
AS an active source for creating
taxes, the war has ceased, and we are
now engaged as people collectively
in taking from the people individual
ly enough money to pay back to the
people individually what the people
collectivly owe"
Shoup cited the Southern Pacific
Company as an example OF how in
dustry is handicapped by high taxa
ticn.

WATER CONSERVATION

City officials have made survey
of water conditions and they have
found that there is the possibility of
Ordway being without irrigation wa
ter for a week or two II not longer
unless the present storage supply is
systematically conserved. There is
enough on hands to run 10 days at
the normal usage. There cannot be
a supply run in sooner than three
weeks and it might be longer per-
iod than that. Under such condi-
tions it is up to the people of the city
to conserve water to the fullest eX-
tent.
Hours for irrigation of gardens and
lawns have been fixed at 6 80 to 1880
of evenings, however, if any person
can get along without the water even
during that period they should do SO.
The recent rains have made it so no
irrigation will be absolutely neces-
sary until next week, and for two or
three days following most any rain
no irrigation is necessary. Such
rains as we have had this week would
keep the gardens going for ten days
without water, providing the hoe was
used in its stead. Good cultivation
of the ground conserves moisture and
the less water we have the more hoe
ing we should do. But what ever we
do let us cooperate with the officials
in making what water we have do
until there can be a new supply for
irrigation.

FORCE OF CURRENT
WAS EVIL AGENT

Pueblo Chieftain-
Perhaps the only known flood of
historic magnitude in the knowledge
of the past generations which COM
pared with that of June 3 at Pueblo
in its main particulars was the one
at Homestead, Pennsylvania, which is
in country somewhat like Colorado
in mountainous decliyity. The rush
Of water at Homestead did not mere
ly inundate, it knocked and pushed.
year afterward while a baseball
game was in progress the ball lost it's
elf in n small depression in the
ground. The fielder in pulling the
ball out of the hole dislodged bone
which held the ball down. When the
bone was pulled up 10 get it, there
was disclosed the skeleton of man
who had been not only drowned but
buried in the flood water and mud
year before.
Even the residents of the upper or
higher portion of Pueblo are unable
to realize the difference between this
flood and those inundations of high
water or back-water which occur in
the ea!' ern states from time to time.
In that country even in time of de-
luging rain the streams move slowly.
A house may sit easily in water up to
its second floor, but the water may
leave it without any change in its
position because it comes and retires
so gently.
Not so in Colorado, even at Pueblo
where tho slant of the surface is moi
noticeable to the eve. The Fountain
creek has fall of thirty feet to the
mile, yet the passenger on railroad
train is aware of it only by the labor
ious putting of the locomotive. The
declivity or "fall' of the Arkansas
river is not so much as that of the
Fountain, in this vicinity, but almost
rs much. In addition to its frequent
or. practically continuous current
there is sheer drop of eight feet at
the dam of the south side water
works and similar drop at the La
Junta dam
When the river current was flow
ing across Union Avenue and was
knee deep to man of ordinary stat
ure it was all he could do to keep his
footing. When he would pick up one
foot to take step the current would
seem to pull that foot far to one side
before he could get it down to the
ground again.
More than two dozen brick business
buildings can be shown today whose
rear ends were torn out. They stood
facing the oncoming flood, which
| poured in at the front bringing logs
and other floaters. Those articles
hammered at the rear wells till they
wero battered to pieces.
Few panes of plate glass remain in
store buildings standing toward eith.-
er the west or the north whe-c the
current knocked them with floating
timbers. 1t was the swift water that
did it.
Box cars and one-storv honser
were tossed and overturned in water
twhose depth II in the average erstern
state would not have di1lodgcd even
q fence.
Thus it is that while the apparent
depth of the Pueblo flood was not
great, as compared with many a wa
ter calamity in the east. 1t wrought
results that seem incredible to per-
sons familiar only with experiences
back there.
