WASHINGTON TilK story of Wash ington, ' the for ty-*econd Htate of the Union, Is tied up with two of our pfesl dents. The first In obvious. for It was In honor of our first presi dent, George Washington, that the state was named, as a last ing memorial to this great sol dier-statesman. Hut the actual fate of this region was due to President i'olk, and formed the main issue In his campaign for election In 1S44. Previous to that time, the country north of California and extending to Alaska, which was then owned by Ilussla, 'waft called the Oregon territory. Claim was laid to this region by both Creat Britain and the United States as has been seen In the story of Oregon. In 181H, when the boun dary between Canada and the United States was settled, this line was definitely placed from the Atlantic roast to the Rocky mountains. But no agreement ? ould be reached west of that, and It was left under an arrange ment whereby this territory whs to be Jointly occupied by the British and Americans. Settlers from .the United States began to come into th? Northwest in such numbers that the I'nlfed States felt thai they xjp'llul own this section which Included the present states of ? ?rejoin and Wa*h ngton. and British ("olumbia through the right <>f possession Agitation n favi.r of actively pushing our claims became s<> strong that u hen I ! k was nominated hy the J ru In in iMt, one of t i?? maln planks In the party plat form v\as the falltoUS one J*?pu larly called. "Fifty-four forty or tU'ht " In JS-lfl a peaceful .settlement Ufif* made with Kngland on a compromise basis. In lh.r?3 Washington territory v>a? neparated from Orego?. It did not, however, become a state until l^SO, and then only after thirteen yearn petitioning for ad mission. (Q kr M?C)ir* N*vip?p?r ftyadlcat*.) Letter* From The People For More Building Lota, \\se are glad to know that the ques tion is again being agitated in fegaril to the division of blocks and the own ing of new streets in Camden. Now, when so much improvement is going | on and the town well started on the way of progress, the time in most op l'<?i linn Our Presbyterian friends are build ing a handsome new Sunday school room and no doubt when completed it ' will be one of the most admired and attractive buildings in town. And yet, it U to be hidden behind the! church and seen only by the people Who frequent it and worship there. A street leading from the High School through that square, adornod in the ^center with a row of small tries, holly for instance, and bordered on either side, with pr/'tty homes and lovely gaiwrrsr?*w?th this handsome edifice at the terminus, would indeed en hance the value and beauty of the church property and be quite an addi tion to the entire town. We have a beautiful town, a clean town, and we invite people to come and make it their town, and then when the invitation accepted we haven't building lota to offer them. Why? Because the ground that could l>e made into building lota or rather used for that purpose is in old fallow fields, many of them not even under cultivation. Not only this square, but others we hear are in the proposed plan, the one just north- of- it, from Chestnut to Laurens, opening through the property of I)r. Clarence Trant ham and Mr. H. G. Carrison. Who would he benefitted ? Why?_.eYery body! First, to the individuals who own the property and would be able to utilize it, where it is now worth very little to them. Second, to the' buyers, who would build homes and become permanent residents and in the majority of cases good citizens, for it is the homes that make the com munity and we want to dot our beautiful town with them, and most of all, it will benefit Camden Hy en hancing its beauty and value, by in creasing its usefulness and conven iences; by adding to its taxable prop erty. Taxes would then be paid on homes according to their value and worth,- where now taxes are collected on old fallow fields and amount to next to nothing, no use to the own ers, no use to the town. The day has. passed for plantations in the heart of a city, a splendid water system had made that, unnecessary. Our l'oiebenrs lived in a different day and generation and under very different conditions. May we never hear agjun: "It was good enough* for our fathers; it is good enough for us we do not favor change." There is nothing too good for us to have, no change too great, if it makes for our welfare and the welfare of our be loved Camden. Progress is man's dis tinctive mark alone; then go forward as occasion offers. Throughout his tory, whenever a victory was won, the watchword was,'. "Go Forward" or "Sail On!" Then do not let us stand still and leave things as they are. be cause they suited past generations and their times ? we live in a progres sive age. A Citizen. Second Week Jurors. T. .J.

Kill The Weevil Use Hill's Mixture There is no good reason why anyone in this County should not make a crop of cotton , this year so far as the Boll Weevil is concerned, be cause I have a poison that is 100 per cent effic ient. Don't take my word for it, but ask any of the following gentlemen who have already used it this season: Messrs. Henry Savage, F. M. Woo ten, Charley McCaskill, Ben Wylie Gettys, C. M. Shiver, or W. H. Shiver, A If you want Hill's Mixture and it is inconven ient to pay cash I can use an approved paper in settlement. Now is the time to start to using it ? Don't wait until the weevil has your bottom crop. I will be glad to make a test for you, if you are in doubt, and show you that Hill's Mixture will kill all the weevils as we claim. J.
