Hi liai te cl by
J (lan a Co
It seems to me that I am haunted
by Indians. The other night as I
came from Macon to Atlanta my
friend. Judge Hall, introduced me to
Dr. Peterson, of St. Louis, a very
learned and cultured gentleman, who
was connected with thc ethnological
department of the government, and
was engaged in examining Indian
mounds and in writing up thc history
k of the Indian tribes, especially of the
five tribes known as civilized,viz., the'
Cherokees, Creeks, Chickasaws, Choc
taws and Seminoles. As these were
our Indians, I became much interest
ed in his discourse, for he had been
_careful and diligent in his research,
and what he knew he knew well. "We
talked about DeSoto and how, with a
handful of brave soldiers, he overran"
this country and took captive as many
^Indian girls as his men wanted.
"Why did not these Indians over
whelm DeSoto aud his handful of fol
lowers and extinguish them?" I asked.
''Because," said the doctor, "they
were paralyzed with fear of this new
and aggressive race of people-just as
the Peruvians were paralyzed by Pi
zarro, who overran and conquered
Peru with less than a hundred men."
The doctor has been to eastern
North Carolina investigating the tribe
..f 4,000 Croatoans over there. They
were originally called Hatteras Indi
k ans, but about three hundred years
" ago Sir Walter Raleigh planted a colo
ny of English and Portuguese on
Roanoke Island and put them in
charge of Governor John White, - a
very practical and accomplished gen
tleman. A few days after landing,
( overuor White's daughter. Eleanor,
who had married a Mr. Dare, gave
birth to a child and she was named
Virginia, and so Virginia Dare was thc
first English child born on American
soil. Let thc boys and girls remem
ber that. But no man knows any
thing more about her. Governor
White and Sir Walter went back to
Eugland for supplies and. farming
tools for the colony and on their re
turn trip got into a fight with some
Spanish cruisers and lost their cargo
and maDy of their men and had to go
back to Englauc, and it was several
years before they made another ven
ture, and when they arrived at the is
land the colon;- was nowhere to be
found, and little Virginia has never
been heard of. The colony left some
marks on a tree pointing to an Indian
town called Croatoan, but the town
was deserted. The doctor's investi
gations have satisfied him that the
colony did not perish nor were they
killed, but that the men wanted wives
and went into the interior and co
habited with the Croatoans-fer it was
found a hundred years after that these
Indians were of mixed colors and
many of them spoke broken or mixed
English and Portuguese, although
they had no intercourse with white
people until thc colony came nor for a
hundred years after, lie believes
that Virginia Dare probably grew up
with those Indians and her descend
ants are now of mixed blood.
It seems that these Croatoans were
never Americanized until the last
civil war. when many of them came to
the front with their guns and said
they wanted to fight some. They
were accepted and enrolled and did
fight for thc Confederacy. Daring the
war there was an election hold in a
County where some of them lived, and
they 'vere persuaded by an ambitious
candidate to go to the polls and vote
. for him. Their votes were challenged
by the other fellow upon the ground
that they had some negro blood in
rheir veins. They were very indig
nant and said, "When you want us to
fight for you wc are same as white
folks; when we want to vote, you say
wc are nagurs." And so a committee
cf four doctors was appointed to ex
amine them and say what they were.
The committee took them out to a
sandy place in the road and had them
take off their shoes and make tracks
barefooted. Five of them made very
fair Anglo-Saxon tracks and were ac
cepted, but of the other two the re
port was thzt thc hollow of their feet
made holes in the ground, and they
were rejected. There arc some of
these Croatoans on Newman's Ridge,
in Tennessee. I remember that, some
years ago, a party of us were riding in
the negro car on the State road, and
when we reached Kingston a colored
convention of preachers got aboard
and claimed the car. Sanford Reil or
dered us out and wo retired, ol'course,
but one man did not move. He was _
dark, cadaverous individual, with
black eyes and black hair. ''What
are you?" said Sanford: "are* you s
white man or a negro?" Ile smiled
and said: "Mine fader a Portugcc,
minc uiudder a nagur." Sanford
looked perplexed and turning tn one
of the colored preachers said: ''What
must I do with him?" And he said:
"Let him alone. I reckon." I learned
afterward that he was a Croatoan.
And now, to keep up the Indian
sensation, I am receiving papers from
.thc Territory that acquaint me with
5 LETTER.
fch Indians.
nstilulion.
thc peculiar situation of thc tribes
over there. What shall bc done with
their lands is the great question. The
Dawes commission appointed by Con
gress wants to divide thc lands per
capita and let the Indians sell them or
part of them to the white men, if they
choose. The Choctaws will get 700
acres each, and a family of ten will
therefore have 7,000 acres and will be
tempted to sell most of it. The full
bloods do not want the lands divided,
but the mixed bloods do and they are
in a large majority, and so in a few
years the Indian's autonomy will be
gone forever and he will be extin
guished as a ward of the nation. In
a few years the five civilized tribes
will lose their identity and their lands
will be absorbed in the mottled mass
of American humanity. This is what
these papers say, and they are ably
edited. What a sad finale to a once
proud, rich and happy race of people.
These papers tell of an $80,000 steal
and a $120,000 steal, and say that now
a big railroad corporation has got a
finger in the pie and the Indians' land
must go. Enough votei. will be bought
in Congress to force the allotment bill
and then will come a second Oklaho
ma. In speaking of these things, Dr.
Peterson got excited and said: "This
nation is a nation of robbers, and it is
and always has been a maxim of An
glo-Saxon people
"That they may take who have the
power,
And they may keep who can."
Speaking of Indians haunting me. I
received a letter from a northern gen
tleman asking me as a great favor to
get for him- an ancient ante-bellum
powder horn-one with a history, if
possible. Well, they arc all ante-bel
lum, and so I found oue thai had been
laid aside for half a century-one that
carried powder in Jackson's war with
thc Seminoles in Florida, and has the
odor of dead Indians and no doubt has
been in at the death of bears and pan
thers and wildcats innumerable. Ire
member when these powder horns had
j rank and standing in the house, and
I children looked on them with fear and
reverence, but one day the percussion
lock came along and soon after thc
breech-loader came along, and the
powder horn was hung on a high nail
and has been hanging there ever since.
Like the Indian's bow and arrow, it
! has surrendered to, the march of prog- I
j ress and civilization. BILL ARP.
Putting It Strong.
At rare intervals along the mountain
roads of West Virginia and Kentucky
; the traveler may come upon a black
: smith shop, but he is much safer in
j the shoeing of his horse if he will
carry a few nails and tools in the bot
tom of his buggy, says thc Washing
! ton Star. (Ja a trip by Pound Ga]) on
; one occasion I found a blacksmith
shop at the forks of the road, and. as j
! usual, a half dozen or more men sitting
i around it in the shade. My turnout
i needed some repairs, and as the smith
; was pottering about it inside, \ made
talk with thc mcu outside. One of
I them wanted to sell mc a mule which
j he had hung up on the fence, and I
i started in for a dicker. After wc had
I been talking for perhaps a quarter > \
an hour, thc smith asked me tc .aep
inside and show him something about
the work he was doing. As soon as
he got mc away from the crowd he
came close and grew confidential.
."Y'ain't thiukin' uv buyin' that
critter, are you?'' he asked, in all
sincerity.
"Weil, I don't know. 1 want a
mule and that one looks all right.'' I
said.
"You can't tell a mule by his looks,
mister. Mules is fer all the world
like women.''
"What's the matter with him?" I
inquired, quite ignoring the compar
ison.
uHc ain't safe. Course 1 ain't got
nothin' ag'in the mule ncr the owner,
and I'd be glad enough fer him to git
the money fer him. fer he owes mc fer
the shoein' uv him, but I don't like
ter see a stranger tuck in an' done up
like he's tryin" to do you."
"But you haven't told me what's
thc matter with the mule," I insisted.
"Will he kick ?"
'"That's his weakness, mister," re
sponded the smith, letting his voice
fall toa whisper. ''You won't believe
me, p'raps, but I'm teilta' you he's
thc kickin'est critter in the mountain?,
lie shore is, mister, and I hope I may
die right here cf he can't kick the
i sody outcn a biscuit an' never crack
' the crust. He kin. mister, er I'm a
brother to him."

Thc Fanner Hail thc Fan.
Every mau has to take his own les
sons in acquiring the art of under
standing the ways of women. Kip
ling's poem in which he winds up sev
eral verses explaining some adventure
with a woman with thc lines. "I learn
ed about women from her," conveys
thc idea that women arc widely dif
ferent in their ways, and thc experi
ence of many men has lcd them to in
dorse 3Ir. Kipling's views in this
matter. The last recruit to this Kip
ling cult is a somewhat bashful young
man who has just returned from his
vacation, passed at thc seashore, and
who receives a letter daily and writes
one daily-but that is the story that
is to be explained.
This young man is attractive in a
way, but his natural ability is screen
ed behind a sense of modesty, and he
is decidedly diffident. Ile went on
his vacation with the idea of getting a
rest and indulging in surf baths.
When he arrived at thc hotel at the
seaside resort he found he was about
the only eligible young man in thc
place, and there was a large and at
tractive array of young women yearn
ing for masculine company. Under
this benign condition of affairs his
diffidence wore off to a certain extent,
and he played the part of gallant most
acceptably. Of all the girls in the
hotel, however, his fancy settled on
one-and his attentions to her were
most noticeable. The girl was charm
ing in every way, and had that dan
gerous virtue of being sympathetic.
Where wistful eyes, classic features,
and superb form have failed very often
a sympathetic air and a pretty interest
have accomplished the overthrow of
the masculine equilibrium.
After a week thc young man was in
love, in ten days he was wildly in
love, and at the end of the two weeks
he was iu the superlative condition of
love, however that may be expressed.
The only trouble was that with this
new-found feeling all the old diffi
dence came back, and he could not
pull himself together sufficiently to
make an avowal. The last day of his
stay he invited this sympathetic niai
don to take a drive, so that he could
.properly say goodby and go over a
thousand and one things that her sym
pathetic natuic would understand and
j approve. Thc drive was a delightful
one and lasted longer than originally
planned. Conversation lagged after a
time and both fell into a fit of deep
thinking. Finally thc couple caught
up to a farm wagon which had been
carrying produce into the village.
The horse was driven by a sharp
faced farmer lad. and at his side on
the seat squatted about as ugly a
brindle dog as any one could find in a
day's walk. The youDg man awaken
ed from his lethargy and said bravely.
"Watch mc have some fun with this
farmer.'" The girl, glad of any diver
sion, looked interested, and the young
man turned to the boy and said lacon
ically :
"Fine dog you got there.-'
"Yep," was thc equally laconic re
sponse.
"What breed ?" was thc next query.
"Bull." was tho listless answer, as
the boy flecked a Hy oft" the horse's
car with the lash of his whip.
"Well, see here." said the other,
'Td like to have that dog. What will
you take for him ?"
"Don't want ter sell," grunted thc
farmer.
"0 conic my good man. That is au
exceptionally valuable dog. I would
like to get him to put in thc dog show
! in New Vork. I'll bel-b-Avould cause
j a commotion.'' and herc he winked at
i the girl. The farmer saw the wink,
but he never made a motion. He
seemed to bc in deep iheught, and
then he said laboriously :
"Well, stranger, cf you want this
j pup so bad I'll tell you how to get it.
j If you'll throw vcr arms around that
I gal's neck and give her a whacking
! kiss I'll give you thc dog." *
The young man blushed scarlet.
Ile lashed his horse savagely with thc
I whip, and soon the farmer was lost in
j the cloud of dust whirled up behind.
, When the danger point was passed
! the horse slowed down to a walk
again, but conversation had fled.
After a long silence thc girl spoke up
faintly :
"If I was sure," here she punched
vaguely at spots in thc bottom of the
cart with her parasol, and her eyes,
which had a wistful look, were turned
away, "that you really and truly
wanted that dog-and-and-."
Chicago Tribune.
- It is easy to speak a harsh word,
but impossible to recall it when it is
once spoken.
- It often happens that the doctor
is out of town when most needed.
Thc two year old daughter of J. Y.
Schcnck, of Caddo. Ind. Ter., was
threatened with croup, he writes:
"My wife insisted that I go for thc
doctor at once : but as he was out of
town, I purchased a bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy which relieved
the child immediately." A bottle of
that remedy in the house will often
save the expense ol' a doctor's bill, be
sides the anxiety always occasioned
by serious sickness. When it is given
as soon as the croup cough appears, it
will prevent the attack. Thousands
of mothers always keep it in their
homes. The 25 and 50 cent bottles

Passing of thc Chestnut.
The fact that the chestnut trees of
this section have been rapidly dying
out for some years past has ben a sub
ject of frequent remark.
Sonic 30 or more years back, chest
I nut trees were common in all parts of
York county. Now they arc getting
scarce. Where middle-aged men of
to-day used to go as boys to proves
which yielded chestnuts by thc bush
els, now thc trees generally arc cither
lying on the ground in decay or stand
ing, leafless, barkless, and dead, with
fruit only a memory.
There arc still a few live, chestnut
bearing trees scattered throughout the
country, but they are exceptions; and
when one is found.it is generally with
many dead branches mixed with thc
live ones.
Thc reporter had a talk with a North
Carolinian-Mr. J. P. Coffey, of Cald
well county-on thc subject, a few
days ago. Mr. Coffey lives about
eight miles north of Lenoir and some
10 or 13 miles from the foot of the
Blue Ridge. He deals in chestnuts
every fall, both wholesale and retail,
and has noticed the scarcity referred
to. When asked about the matter, he
said :
"Oh ! yes, we have been noticing
the passing away of the chestnut trees
for a long time. I have been coming
down this way for some 20 years, and
it was some 10 years hack when 1 first
noticed that the chestnut trees were
dying. It was noticeable down this
way first ; but now it has gradually
extended north, until it has reached
us at the foot of thc Blue Ridge. Ten
miles north of us, in the mountains,
the trees all appear to be still healthy
and chestnuts are abundant ; hut right
around us they are dying as rapidly as
they did herc and between."
"It has been suggested," the repor
ter remarked, "that the death of thc
trees is possibly due to some climatic
change, or something of that kind."
"Oh, no." continued Mr. Coffey,
"it is not that. Thc old people up
our way say it is because of the attack
of a peculiar worm. And this, they
think, is proven by thc fact that it is
almost impossible to find a sound
chestnut tree among the greenest in
the woods-that is in our neighbor
hood. At thc saw mills, worms are
found in the very heart of apparently
sound logs. In some cases thc worms
are few. and in other cases the logs
are literally riddled. On the other
side of us. in thc mountains.it is still
an easy matter to find trees which are
perfectly sound.
Mr. Coffey went on to say that the
disappearance of the chestnut is re
ceiving attention in different parts of
North Carolina and in this State. It
is believed that if the trees are set out
anew, they will grow all right, and
during thc present season he has re
ceived quite a number of orders for
carefully-selected chestnuts, which,
he understands, are to bc used for

THE MISSING WORD.
THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION'S
NEW CONTEST !
The Sentence Seems Quite Plain, but
Presents an interesting Problem.
Try Your Hand.
The Weekly Constitution, Atlanta, Ga.,
lias announced ita sixtb consecutive miss
ing word contest, commencing on the 1st
of November and closing on the 1st of
January, a period of about two months.
The book containing the missing word
has been sealed up and placed in the
hands of W. A. Hemphill, the president
and business manager of the company.
It in a standard publication and has prob
ably boen widely read throughout the
South
The amount offered in prizes is 10 per
cent of the subscriptions received from
contestants; there are about sixteen thou
sand subscribers expiring with The Con
stitution during November and December,
and should all of these renew, the sum
will be about 31,000 to be divided In ad
dition to whatever tbe 10 per cent will
make The Constitution offers $100 cash to
go to tho first six correct guesses: 50 for the
first correct guess received and 10 each
for the next five that are correct, provided
these a*e received before December 1st.
If only one person should name this miss .
iog word he would have a good sum.
in its first missing word contest The
Constitution paid the whole amount to one
successful contestant, Mr. M. L. Brittain,
$1,033.50; it may be that only one person
will name it this time ; the period of the
year compares exactly with Mr. Brittain's
contest, and we understand he will not be
allowed to guees any more, and Bhould
only one man get the word right this
time, it would disbar him from guessing
thereafter.
This is the sentence :
"Once given the passion for-that
one of the precious metals will be most in
demand which is cheapest."
The readers of our paper who subscribe
jointly to it and The Weekly Constitution
have free > ccess into the sixth contest,
just opened ; and it may be that some of
them will get the amount to be distributed
on the 1st of January.
The only condition of the contest is that
every guesser must be a subscriber; and
takiDg advantage of The Constitution's
offer we present this opportunity to all
who wish to subscribe to both papers.
Every person should have his County pa
per and one great general newspaper ; and
The Weekly Constitution, with a circula
tion of 150,000, occupies tbe unique dis
tinction of being the greatest American
weekly newspaper.
By special arrangement with The Week
ly Constitution, that great paper and tho
Anderson Intelligencer cati be obtained
foi one year at almost tho price of one pa
per, the price of the two being only 2.25.
Not only that, but nuder our arrangement
with Thc Weekly Constitution every per
so:a who iakes advantago of this clubbing
proposition, subscribing for both papers,
will be entitled to a guess at the missing
word. Au clubbing subscriptions should
be sent to this pap^r with each subscrib
er's gue?M at the missing word plainly
written. The gmss and thu name and
address of csch subscriber will ba forbar
dod by lid to The Wee'< )y Constitution.
