Camden Young Man Honored. In a coming debate between the University of North Carolina and the University of South Carolina Mr. George Wittkowsky was selected as one of the two-debaters representing South Carolina. This speaks well for his ability as a speaker, the fact that South Carolina is willing to risk its reputation and trust its honor with him. And we feel sure that George will do his best. If North Carolina's best is better than his best, why it's all right. Activities of Women. When a woman in Siam marries she blackens her teeth to denote her marriage state.

The Story of Our States Br JONATHAN BRACE XXXIX DAKOTAS North huu South Da kota formed the northern aeetlott of the L o u i a 1 h u a Purchase by the acaulfl tion of which from Franco the United States nearly doubled Its sine. , The Dakotas were the last states which were wade up whol ly from this purchase, to be come a part of the Union. Short ly after Its acquisition, the Lew is and Clark expedition was sent out to explore It and they spent their first winter In 1804 near Mandan. The British had many fur posts in this region, and as they considered it part of Brit ish territory, they built a fort in 1810 near Pembina. British rights, however, were withdrawn iu the Treaty of 1818* which es tablished the formal boundary between the United States and Oina^s. 11M OlVU?. I u ill ans, who had been very hostile toward white Invasion final ly ceded a portion of their land to the government in 1861. This was opened up to settlement and thus immigration was started in this part of the country. In 1854 the section west of the Missouri river be came a part of Nebraska terri tory, while the portion to the Kust was attached to Mlnnesotu. However, in 1801, the separate Territory of Dakota wus organ ized. Population did not increase rapidly, until' 1860, due to**ho warlike demonstrations of the Indians. It is from these Indians that the name Dakota comes. But it was not until 188U that the Dakota territory was divided and formed Into two states. To avoid any feeling of Jealousy as to which was made a state first, the two bills were signed by President Harrison after they had been shuffled up and were then reshuffled so it is not known which was signed first. Their areas are about the same. North Dakota containing 70,837 square miles, while South Da? kota has 77,615 square miles. The population is also about equal and each Is entitled to five president ial electors (? by UcCluri Newspaper Syndicate.)
