OLD LETTERS 10 EARLY SETTLERS The two letters below are in the possession of the Andrew Hamilton Chapter of the D. A. R. The letters are the property of Dr .S. G. Thomson, who has loaned them to the Chapter. The letters were written by Governor William Bull to Patrick Calhoun, the father of John C. Calhoun, who was a pioneer settler on the Long Canes. The French settlement of course, refers to the settlement at New Bordeaux, in the western part of the county. Some of our readers may perhaps ' * ' i-" ? oe aoie 10 ten us sumtrimug ?, the settlement of the Germans to which reference is made in the other letter. To Patrick Calhoun, Esq., Near Long Canes. December 6, 1764 Sir:?Enclosed is a letter to Boutiton to acquaint him that I now send you orders to furnish the French Colony with three steers of four > years old (w'h I expect at Dr. | Murray's usual price.) That is to j say, one steer every ten days. 11 expect that the Frenchmen will ex- j ert themselves tor this iavor. as the money given by the Assembly is! almost all expended, I will pay you out of my own pocket for it. I expect they will build a house for the performing of divine service, and' make some progress in building for their families against the cold, and make some preparations for planting corn to support themselves after next Fall, also for making Hemp, by w'h they may enrich themselves, I ^vill give them four bushels of hempseed from my own pocket when I hear they have land prepared for it. , I shall do everything in my power to promote their Prosperity, but they must also exert their own Labor and Industry for that purpose. I am, Your very humble serv. Wm Rnll To Patrick Calhoun, Esq., Near Long Canes. December 23rd, 17G4. P. S.?As the weather is cold and may be rainy, I desire you to make up a Log house about 35 long and 20 broad and 6 ft. high, covered with clapboards, and make sheds on each side w'h may be covercd with bark. This will afforci shelter for I them on their arrival, and contain * their baggage. When they iro settled, this shall serve them for a church. Let this work be set about immediately after you receive this, and send me an amount of the Day's j I Charleston, December 21, 1764. ' Sir:?There being about 300 German Protestants arrived, who by his Majesty's order are to be setteld to- . gether, I therefore desire you in conjunction with Mr. Fairchild to consider a proper spot where they may be placed and about 20,000 acres of good land allotted for them and others who may follow. I shall put, the warrants of this Division into Mr. Fairshild's hands as Deputy Surveyor w'h may be about 150 souls. And the remainder, who are sickly will follow as soon as soon as they are able, and their warrants shall be put into your hands to execute. As these people are under! the protection and countenance of the King and have been supported hitherto, and will be until the end of, September ne::t by the Noble Boun-. ty of a number of charitable gen tlemen ot London i desire ana expect that a particular attention will, be paid to their being: seated upon good soil and convenient branches j for water. The Upper Place w'h i was shown to the French Protes-; tants, will I believe be very suitable. They chose to be together and there-: fore the Lands must be kept for that Nation of Germans. You are to mark out 400 acres for' the use of the Fort w'h Capt. Coch-J ran pitched upon at my desire, at the' Fording- Place about 15 miles above : the mouth of Long Cane River on I r the Savannah Ii. to be reserved for 1 the King's use. Let me hear how the French Pro-; testar.ts go on in their settlement as j I suppose by this time you have sur-j veyed most of their warrants, and j they are beginning to clear their land for theii- provisions next fall.

RULES GOVERNING EXHIBITS Many of the Tomato Club girls do not feel able to buy a canning outfit this year, and yet their tomatoes are growing, and must be handled in some way. Each girl dreams of the time when she can have a nice large outfit and sit out under the trees in the shade and can without any discomfort. But perhaps this can not come right away and now she must get her father or brother to make a canner for her. This can be done ""I- 1 4. ,,U1? wiui very ntue expense auu uuuuic, and serves the purpose very nicely. In making: a canner, use a large boiler or zinc tub, or anything of the kind that will hold from a dozen and a half to two dozen cans. Make a tpp to fit this and a rack or false bottom for the cans to sit on so that they will not rest upon the real bottom of the boiler or tub. Now you have your canner ready for use. The rack or false bottom may be made of wire or anything convenient, but must not be solid, for the water has to come up through it. This is so simple that no little girl should have to worry because she has no convenient way way to can. Rules Governing Exhibits State Fair. Girls who are engaged in the Home Demonstration work are asked to get up exhibits for our booth at the State Fair. These exhibits count in the final score and also help the county agent in getting up an attractive booth. The pvhihits must include: 1-2 doz. jars or can of Tomatoes. 1 doz. jars or cans of soup mixture. 1-2 doz. bottles of ketchup. 1-2 doz. jars or cans string beans. 1 doz. jars cucumber pickle; 4 sweet 4 sour, 4 mixed. 1 doz jars yf fruit. v Anything else in the way of jellies or preserves the agent may see fit to exhibit. No half-gallon or chewing gum jars will be allowed. All containers must be regular sized tin cans or clear glass top jars. Those growing Pimentos must exhibit: 4 jars of pimentos. 4 jars of Dixie Relish. 4 jars of Chutney. 1 bottle of Pimento Ketchup. Girls will be asked for exhibits for our County Fair if it is held this' year. If not there will be a fall; Rally Day when girls may exhibit! their goods and thus advertise their; products. At this time they may ex- ' hibit anything, and as much of it as ? they may care to. Labour not extravagantly charged. Let this House be placed on a spot near the center of their intended set-' tlement for w'h I shall lay out 20,000 acres. If Mr. Fairchild does not go soon to you, you are not to . wait for him, but proceed to fix the: spot yourself. The first Party of 150 may be expected at Long Canes' about the 10th day of January, and as they will soon go upon their Lands j and make huts each for himself, this House may serve the second Party who shall go up as soon as they are able. Make a Log Division at one end to be used as a store room, and 1 lay beams across here and there, on w'h some stores may be hung. I desire you also to make an oven if possible you can contrive it for the poor creatures to bake their braed. Let it ba large enough. Wm. Bull. Read on. As the Indians are very jealous and alarmed at new settlers in bodies, you must not carry . these Germans beyond the Eastmosti Branches of Genr.eostee. W. B. ALABAMA DRY. Montgomery, July 1.? Alabama is dry today under the statewide prohi bition law and two prohibition regulation enforcement laws which be came effective last midnight. Mobile is dry for the second time in the two hundred years of her existence as a result of the law. Cafe crowds last night sang, "It's a long way to Pensacola." Occasionally a man takes a day off to celebrate the annivesary of his birth, but a woman usually takes a year off. RUSSIA CREATES MUNITION BOARD ENERGIES AND RESOURCES OF THAT EMPIRE DEVOTED TO PRODUCTION. London, July 3.?The reply of the Russian government to the brilliant series of Austro-German victories in Galicia is a law setting up a board of munitions empowered to spend unlimited money and given virtually unrestricted power over all private industries over the whole of the country. It is reported from Petrograd that the creation of the board became law with an alacrity that was astounding and which is taken to indicate that Russia fully realizes that the recent disasters to the forces of Grand Duke Nicholas largely were due to lack of munitions and equip ment. Comparative quiet prevailing on all the fronts except that along the border separating Russian Poland and Galicia, the attention of the English public again is turned toward diplomatic and domestic problems. Special dispatches from the Balkans declare Bulgaria is not dissatisfied with the territory offered her by the entente allies. That Turkey has not lost hope of conciliating her dangerous neighbor, however, is shown by the news that Bulgaria-Turkish negotiations looking to delimitation of the frontiers of their respective countries, will be resumed in Constantinople. Rumors of a break in the diplomatic relations between Italv and Tur key again are rife. With the exception of the French claim that they have recovered all the trenches the Germans had recaptured in the Vosges, no change in the military situation on the western battle line is reported.

Morgan Shot I By a Crank i (Continued from page 1.) time had come for the war to end. It was becoming more and more unbearable, he said, and it was his firm belief that he should go t:o Mr. Morgan and ask him to end it. This he knew Mr. Morgan could accomplish because of his great influence. "I wanted to see Mr. Morgan and to reason with him," the man said. "I have nothing: against him." The assailant was cut over the eye by the blew with the coal hod, and had been Dleeding freely. He also was limpirg as the result of his encounter w th the Morgan servants. Mr. Morgan apparently did not consider himself seriously wounded. When it was reported that he was shot, the Moi-gan home was a target of a volley of telephone inquiries: from New York. The first of these calls was answered by Mr. Morgan j himself, who calmly told of the shooting and added that he did not ( think it amounted to very much. The man who shot Mr. Morgan j came to Glen Cove this morning- on' the 8:53 train, hired an automobile and went to the Morgan home on Matinicock Point. He rang the bell and when the butler answered, called j for Mr. Morgan. He said he was an ! old friend oJ: Mr. Morgan, but was refused admission. I The man then pressed a pistol against the stomach of the butler! who screamed, and pushed his way past the servant into the hall. Mr. j Morgan was approaching the front door through the hall. He asked what the trouble was. The answer was a shot which took effect in his hip. Mr. Moreran staegrered and fell into a chair. The butler, once the assailant's back was turned, picked up a brass coal hod from the fireplace and brought it down on the assailant's head, but too late to pre-' vent a second shot. New York, July 5.?Efforts were made here and at Glen Cove, L. I., and in several other, cities today to clear tiie mystery said to surround j the identity of Frank Hoit, who Fri-1 day set the bomb that exploded in the United States capitol at Wash-1 ington and Saturday attempted to assassinate J. P. Morgan at Glen Cove. The Federal detectives throughout the country are following clues which are hoped to reveal a.1 _r tt_ i i.>_ m* uie cniei evunts ox noit s me. One of the important questions to solve was raised by the Cambridge, Mass., police regarding the possible identification of Holt as Erich Muenter, a former Harvard instructor, who disappeared after the death of his wife, from alleged poisoning in 1906. Statements from Muenter's relatives and men who knew him in Chicago, interested detectives working on the case. Photographs; of Muenter were also compared with {Cj Peeling Pe With RED DE\ I ^REAT ___ . Cigars Speed's D: Phon< Always ;Ready Stationery those of Holt. ^ During Holt's examination by the j police officials last night Holt disclosed he had planned to hold Mrs. Morgan and the Morgan children as | hostages in their own home and kill them if Morgan refused to use his influence to stop the exportation of war munitions. Morgan's condi- 1 tion early today was reported as most favorable. 1 U. S.

He closed his letter with a proposal for a referendum on the question of war exports, which he characterized "a colossal American crime." Part of the letter was typewritten and part was written with a pen. The handwriting apparently was not that of an uneducated person. BRITISH LOSSES.
