TROUBLE WITH CROATANS. Object to Being Placed With Negroes at Camp Wadsworth. The Scottish Chief says: Walter Locklear, Robeson county j Indian in Camp Wadsworth, S. C., writes his father that they are having race trouble in camp, as an effort has been made to place these Indians with the negroes and Locklear refused to be placed and trouble ensued. Since these people are Indians by North Carolina statute and since recognized as such in the state constitution, while the United States ranr\orrt 1700 tho InHionc n f the* \J LA 1 y 1 V**V AMV4AVWMM V 4. VMV reservations and only two faces in ^ North Carolina of the Cherokee Inp dian Reservation, there seems to be no place for our Indians unless there were enough of them to form separate companies as in the case with the white and negro races. They are willing to serve their country but do not wish to be humiliated. It must be remembered that before the general assembly recognized these people as a separate race, they did not associate with the colored folks and grew up in ignorance rather than attend the negro schools and this condi&on as well as political ex? pediency caused the adoption of tne theory of the late Hon. Hamilton McMillan that they were descendants of the Sir Walter Raleigh lost colony merged with Indians or Croatan. We would direct the attention of Governor Bickett to this emergency, with the hope that he may be able to bring about an acceptable agreement. They say that if it is necessary to go across as either white men or negroes they do not want to go?while they are willing to labor and fight for their country. ' s, Mr. Clifton Rhoad Writes. The following interesting letter , from Mr. Clifton Rhoad to his mother, of the Hunter's Chapel section, was kindly handed us for publication, , and will be of interest to his many friends in this section: "Somewhere in France, 11 September, 1918. "My Dear Mother:?I seem at a loss to know what to write these days. Eating, sleep and work takes up the greater .portion of our time. Of course we have some time to get out and converse with the people, but I have not been able to take the best advantage of the time. A French professor of this place, at home on vacation, has very kindly given a few ot us lessons in French. We meet for an hour each night. I think I will be able to carry on an elementary conversation in French if we stay over here several years. I can understand several words, but as for pronouncing one I have never been near Tight. I had a very interesting ex- j perience the other day. I went down to the river to wash some clothes and the place I chose was near an i old lady engaged at the same job. 1 All of the people here do their wash- i ing in the river. -They use a three * sided box with a wide fiat board in J front. They kneel in the box and scrub and paddle their clothes on the ' board. 'The contraption is placed at ? the edge of the stream with the board | extending into the water. "^Well, when I came up the old lady pointed to an empty box near her and said a great deal about it that I could not grasp, but I finally understood that she wanted me to use the empty box. It was covered with straw which seemed to me better than kneeling on rocks, so I decided to try it. No sooner had I got placed than she be? gan to instruct me in the ancient and honorable practice of clothes washing. She continued eloquently for some time but not being able to get me to understand it she gave it up tor a bad job. I began washing, and not being accustomed to the box I got overbalanced and almost fell into the river. I have reached the conclusion that it is best to do things your own way. "I received a letter from Uncle Willie a few days back, he wrote from Baltimore that he would be in New York in a few days and would like ^ to see me. I regret that I did not got to see him. I also heard from Clair. He is of my opinion in regard to France and that is that it is a good place to be. I have not heard from you yet but I am quite sure that I will soon. I wish you would have J The Herald sent to me and be sure to / give my correct address. \ "Lots of love to all. "Devotedly, "CLIFTON." Sgt. Maj. C. S. Rhoad, Hq. 306th Engineers, A. P.

Secretary Josephus Daniels, by his recent order limiting the social privileges of naval officers even in the homes of their friends, has succeeded in making the song of the navy, r "Drink to me only with thine eyes." * ?Life. r Corporal Nelson's Views. Corporal, the Hon. Knnte Nelson, who enlisted in the Union army as a private when he was eighteen, but, as he bashfully admitted in answer to a question by a fellow senator, '"attained the rank of corporal," is a strong advocate of calling boys of eighteen for service overseas. The corporal knows what he is talking about in that respect, but we suspect that he is not as well informed about the effect a half a century of fashion for athletics, for outdoor life, has had on older men since he was a soldier. Said the corporal in the man power bill debate: "To send a lot of these superannuated men, as I call men over thirty, to Europe and put them in the fighting line would be simply to have that many to carry back in the course of a year." Superannuated at thirty-one? Oh, Corporal!?New York Sun. IfWhy0 ; Suffer? U A Mrs. J. A. Cox, of Al- 1/1 ' derson, W. Va., writes: A "My daughter . . suf- 1/m A fered terribly.
