About l.r>20 a Spanish love story whk published In which there was iu Imaginary island In the Fur East railed California. Some fifteen years later a party of Spanish adventurers came upon the peninsula which we now call Lower California. Believing that they had discovered a romantic Island similar to the one In the novel, they called It California. Later on, the territory to the north became known as Alta California or High California and when It became a state, It was accordingly called Cali fornia. The first settlers were the Franciscan monks who came up from Mexico and established missions, and many are the leg ends woven around these pioneer Padre* There shortly grew up MeTV-arr'Tfrrttlemcnta around the missions which the wonderful climate and fertile soil pros pered. The government, while under Mexican control, was more or less Independent, and at the out break of the Mexican war, Fre mont, who was later defeated for the presidency, occupied Cal ifornia. When peace was made In 1H48, California became Uni ted States territory. That .<*ame y*ar gold was discovered In the Sacramento Valley and th^ rush of people to California be^an. The population grew so rapidly that In I860 California was ad mitted as the tblrty-firnt state of the Union, With l.j lf>8,2V7 square mllfs, It Is the largest state except Texas. Politically, Its power has been rapidly grow Ing. California now has thirteen presidential electors. <?fcr MeClw* N*w??*p?r ?rnl)r?t? ) September 1,1902 September 1,1922 ON SEPTEMBER 1, 1902 TWENTY YEARS AGO ___ , - ; . ? >, Our doors were first opened for business, at 1020 Main Street., but after three years we moved into the large store room next door to the one we then occupied.

Wliile unpacking a crate of bananas one day last week Mr. I). V. Dixon, proprietor of DixoU's Grocery, discov ered a large tarantular. With the aid of a stfck and a pair of plyers he placed it in a glass vessel where it was kept on exhibition at bis store and at The Chronicle office for some time where It attracted a great deal of attention. It resembles a large spider, covered with hair and it is said they grow to immense size mid are deadly poisonous. Persons who have visited South America and tbc tropics have seen 'the spider and prfonounee it a genuine tarantular. Mrs. K. G. Whistler tells* us' that when she was h young girl residing in the Argentine, tbat she and her brother, Mr. Clem Thrown, captured one of the largest tarantulars ever seen in that section and tbat when she returned to Amer ica she brought it back with h?*r andl she thinks it is still on exhibitiotrTn a museum of natural history in the city of Washington.

Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Sowell and Jack Mackey were caught in an automobile wreck last Friday evening while driv ing to Lancaster In Mr. Sowell'* coupe, which seriously endangered the lives of all. The account of the accident as related by Jack Mackey who was driving the car. is?that as they were within about three miles of Lancaster a buggy was just ahead of them going in the same direction, which they Un dertook to pass. Three Ford tourTng, cars were coming from th<? opposite direction toward them and Just as the coupe was passing around the buggy the first Oar passed without hitting theni: the second car caught the hind axle of the coupe, turning it around, J and the third car struck the com* squarely* turning it over and smashing it up pretty badly, the touring car being upset also. Mr. Sowell, who was modt seriously injured, sustained a se rious sprain on the shoulder, it being thought for a time that the collar bone was broken; and Ills head and arm were considerably lacerated. ? Hp ras also well covered with gasoliife tb\t leaked from the car, which burnt him right badly. Mrs. Sowell was also con siderably shaken up, ibut suffered no serious injury; and Jack Mackey had an arm and leg considerably bruised. It was indeed a narrow and providen tial escape from death for all. A mes sage to Lancaster quickly brought phy sicians and others, who gave medical attention to the Injured 0nes and took them to Lancaster, where Mr. Sowell was placed on the evening train and taken to the hospital In Rock Hill, accompanied by Mrs. Sowell. While Mr. Sowell has suffered considerably, we arc pleased to be Informed that h* is doing as well as could be expected. Mrs. Sowell and Jack Mackey hav? about recovered from their bruises,? jtenfhaw Kra. y XX \ 3?BIG DAYS?3 INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION TRACTOR 'me and see in actual operation the many time and money-saving advantages of the Industrial Tractor?The FORDSON. ^ TO BE HELD AT CHARLOTTE, N.
