(Continued From I'age One.) in this ship the garrison sailed to Europe. It is doubtful whether any spot in America carries as much historic interest as docs this ohl Charles fort, for this fori marks the first attempt to plant a colony on American shores. It was also the first place.on which the Huguenots landed and it was also the first place in America to build an ocean-sailing ship, and yet this spot lias been Ignored by the historians and is not by any means nationally known. It behooves the slate of South Carolina and also our national government to set un memorials at this spot. In JotJ5 another French ship landed at I'oit It >yal. Its mission largely was to thank Chief Audusta for his kindness to tin garrison on Parris Island. Thickly Settled by Indians. Most of the early landings in America were handicap|?cd by wars with Indians. Wars at Port Iioyul, however, were all between white men of three nations, each nation clunnng me soil. Than Port Koyal no section of til-- United Slates probably was more thickly popu'at <i with Indians. These were the names of sonic of the chiefs: A ml us t a, Touppa, Stal.unc and Muyou, all in the immediate section of Port Koyal, and Ovade and his brother, C'onexis, powerful chiefs over on tile Savann::h river. All of these chiefs iived in what is now ISenufort county. T11i: heavy Indian population was probably due to largo quantity of game and fish and. oysters in the great salt water streams that traverse Ucaufort county, in 15t">2 we find Indians cultivating fields of coin and of millet? probably a species of Kaffir corn. All ol the chiefs divided their corn and millet will the Charles Fort garrison freely and liberally, and treated the gar'risen as if they themselves were civilized white Ohrisliarf men.

Mrs. Frank Yodcr, aged forty, the 1 } mother of twenty children, fifteen of I whom arc living, probably is the busi| est woman in Somerset county, Fenn- j [ sylvania, yet she has time to enjoy life, I according to her own story. Her hus, band, who is employed on construction work and only able to spend the weekends with his family, is forced to throw j the burden of curing for seven acres of land, fourteen hogs and two children on his better half and children. Tiie oldest son of the Yodcr family is twenty-live years old, while the young- j est is a girl of four months. The fatn- i ily live on the Plank road and arc highly respected by their neighbors. j One of the chief duties or Airs, i nacr is the baking of thirty loaves of bread every other day for her vociferous offspring. In addition she sews all her children's clothes and does the family cobbling, included in the family arc three sets of twins. Voder, who is forty-five years of ago, is employed in laying the foundation of the new Methodist church in an adjoining town. On his week-end visits to his busy frau and his children he always takes with him from ten to twelve pounds of pork chops for the family's Sunday dinner. Mrs. Voder is a comely woman, smiling and busy at all times. She declares that big families are as easy to handle as small ones if one uses good judgment. "All the children who are old enough must do their part, and we have no trouble while my husband is away at his labor," she says. "We produce much of what we eat right here on the farm, and life with a big family is not such a burden as some people imagine." DOGS COME HIGH Woman Wants $75 a Month for Caring For Three Pups.

E. Moore, Prop. - v.crc left $10,000 by the will of Mrs. Margaret Howard. To give the proper care to such clogs it takes at least $75 a month. Mrs. \ Carrie Bashaw, who has had the "puips" in charge over since last March, when Mrs. Howard died, declared that such was the case today when she filed a petition before Probate Judge Henry Horner, asking that the present administration of the estate compensate her for her care of the three dogs to the extent of $75 per month. "She is advised," the petition slates formally, "that the sum of $75 per month is a fair, reasonable and customary charge in the city of Chicago for the support and maintenance of three dogs." ltccently Mrs. Bashaw spoicc inior- j , mully at her own home and added some i details which the court did not hear. "I'm going to stick it out," slic said wearily. "Hut these dogs arc an awful , care. I have to give them baths ail the time and keep them in the house for fear somebody will poison them. There's stories going around, you know, ; that people are trying to poison the dogs. "Why, my goodness! I got nervous prostration raring for them, and had to ( I hire a woman to help mo. I had to; pay her a week. I didn't know everything about dogs so I wrote to J experts and they sent me instructions us to what to do." Mrs. Bashaw's present predicament, it seems, developed because various j factions of beneficiaries have become so excited over the heated court bTittle concerning the will, that they have forgotten all about the material reprcscn! tatives of the main point cf contcnj lion?namely, the dogs, i Two alleged wills of Mrs, Hdward figure in the court battle which will be I waged on Sept. 28, when the will is o be probated and Mrs. Bashaw's claim considered. One of the wills favors the dogs. The other favors the rela! tiVCH. :t-n Eighty-one thousand six hundred and fifty-one tourists visited the Yel; lowstone National Park during 1921.
