wbenck came hxwajianh? Oiigin of the Natives of Mld-Pidflc lilanda Shrouded la Doubt. The origin of the Hawaiiaif^htlvee j? unknown, says the Geological Survey, but they are member# of widely dispersed Polynesian *?*?ily. *nd it has been found that the Hawaiian* and the New Zealandere. separated by one-ouarter of the circumference of the globe, speak dialects of the Kame language and have similar customs and mythology. There ia a legend that a chief, Hawaii-Lea, wh6 was a famous navigator of soma distant lund, Kahikiku, first visited these islands and after several trips back and forth settled in Hawaii. Whoever the first settlers were, it has been estimated that the islands were inhabited as early as 000 A. D. There are better authenticated accounts of an immigration in the 11th snd 12th centuries, and from this time the history of the islands gradually emerges from the mythical stage ana includes a fairly continuous record of the chiefs and kings who ruled up to the time of the shortrepublic and the annexation of the islands by- the United States in 1898. Although there are legendary accounts of visits to these islands by Spanish ships during the period when Spin's was the only European flag on South Seas, the real discovery of Hawaii is credited to the Englishman Capt. Cook, who made his first visit in 1778. He called the group the Sandwich islands, in honor of his friend and patron, the earl of Sandwich, who1 was first lord of the admiralty. During this voyage Capt. Coo$ touched Niihau and left some goats and pigs of English breed, perhaps , recognizing the island's stoc^-raiBing possibilities, which have been developed since to the point where Niihau is today one great cattle and Bheep ranch, comparable in appearance to a well kept European estate. From the time of Capt. Cook's visit these islands, at the crossroads of the Pacific, became the' rendezvous and refitting Btation for the explorers, fur traders, and whalers who visited the northwest coast of America, and* the native Hawaiian*, known far and wide as skillful Bailors, were found in the crews of many ships, 24 of them being in the ilbfated Tonquin, whose crew was massacred by Indian* on the coast of Oregon in 1811. Continuous contact of America with these i Islands may be dated from the arrival in 1820 of a small group of missionaries from New England. This contact was Steadily 'made closer by the arrival of increasing numbers of Americans? missionaries, traders, and planters, whose descendants have been largely instrumental in the commercial and agricultural development of the Islands. Lewis Wood, native of Columbia, and well known Washington correspondent, has been elected president of the White House Correspondents' association. 1 * NOTICE TQJTHI2 DEMOCRATIC CLUBS Off KBRSHAW COUNTY ocratic party, notice Is hereby given Pursuant to the rules of the Demthat all Democratic Clubs in Kershaw County, South Carolina, are called te meet on Saturday, April 26, 1930, for the purpose of reorganization electing officers and members of County Executive Committee and delegates to the county convention.

H. ItoUBOD, I Aprfi w. mo.rittK*r *h*w Vick Chemical Co. I Wins Case * Philadelphia^ April"i?. _ judge Thompson, presiding in United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, has just hand?d down a decision in favor of Vick Chemical Company, in its case ?J gainst Frederick E. Strohmeicr, in I which emphasis is placed by the court upon protection of the buying public against fraudulent use of a trade name, VWks Vapo-Rub. | "The defendant will be enjoined," Judge Thompson's decision reads, "against use of the plaintiff's trade name, as he has been using it, to de-1 cefve and perpetrate a fraud upop the public and, by pirating its trade mark, to injure and datnage the reputation the plaintiff has built up. A decree may be entered for an injunction accordingly and for damages sustained by the plaintiff ahd profits de^ rived by the defendant from his acts of infringement and unfair competition." j This case grew out of the action of otrohmeier in the marketing of a cough drop which he claimed, on the package, was "Medicated with Vicks Vap-Rup." As to this alleged mediJ cation, Judge Thompson says in his I decision: "I find from the* medical testimony that, 'fes manufactured, there is no real medication by means of Vick's Vapo-Rub in the defendant's Product, That being the case, that statement of medication is false and untrue. I am not satisfied?that the defendant has introduced any testimony sufficient' to ,sustain his claim that Vick's Vapo-Rub is used at all in his cough drops," J Vicks Vapo-Rub is the sole product J of Vick Chemical Company and has been marketed for a number of years. It was introduced in evidence that over $7,000,000 has been spent in advertising to establish this product in the confidence of the public, and the extent of such confidence was J disclosed in the evidence that over J 260,000,000 jars have been- sold; since 1910, throughout the United States and in over 60 countries abroad. It <was charged that the defendant, Strohmeier, by pirating the Vick trade name, was tring to establish his unknown product by associating I it in the public mind with Vick's Vapo-Rub, thus not only accomplishing infringement but perpetrating a I fraud upon the public. The decision of the court upholds 'this charge and J enjoins .Strohmeier from further use of the Vick trade name in connection J with his product. , Former Editor Dead j Darlington, April 19.?A.
