The skin is poisoned and red splotchos appear. Scratching is, of course, the first thing thought of, but it gives only momentary relief and if one has only a limited time to devote to the operation he had better grit his teeth and take it easy. One uJ the best muddies for the ' chigger bite is a solution of suit and water, briny almost; or salty grease. Coal oil is one of tho statu dard remedies and camphor will stop the itching and kill the insect if applied early in the attack, An exchange says that the wortl ought to - be written "chigreit may also be written "ohegar, ohogre, chegoe, cldgua, and jigger," but when the insect bearing all ? 1-~ ' ' 1 nn rjrr iKiuitin HI gej.

An Interesting Story ot the Tribe from The Interlude" ?the Woman's Edltlon of the Ne?* and Courier. The Catawba Indians nro supposed to have emigrated to South Carolina from Canada, according to tradition, in 1000, numbering 12,000. In 1700 they numbered l,.r)00 brave warriors, with 8,000 or 10,000 souIr in their nation. The Catawbns were a noble race, fearless of enemies; their address was surpassed by none. Constant wars with the Cherokees, Shawnees and other tribes, together with the smallpox scourge, depleted their numbers greatly. In 1747 the province of South Carolina allotted them fifteen miles square in York and Lancaster districts. About 1840 a treaty was made between South Carolina and the Catawba Indians, the State buying nil the land claimed by theCutnwbns. and afterwards lnpmg off seven liundred acres on the west bank of* ( Kswu Tarora) Catawba river, six miles south of Fort Mill and ten miles I from ltock Hill. The Catawba Indians, although a wartlike nation, wore ever the friends of the white settlers. They aided and fought with the Americans in the Revolutionary war; in ! 1780 some of the Catawbus went to I Virginia and attached themselves j to (-ien. Lee's legion and fought with him. After the battle at ! Guilford Court House, North Caro- ! lina, the Indians came back to South Carolina. The Catawbus | fought Hide by side with our Con- ! federate Boldiers and made good ! soldiers; they were the most faith- | tui and true fnetuls to the wliit*? I people, and are the only Indiana who continue to live in the State today. ()n the hanks of the sparkling Catawba lives the remnant of the once powerful tribe of the Catawbas. Seventy-five or eighty . men, women and children constitute the entire nation. They receivo a small annuity from the State. In the last two years a school has been taught with poor attendance. Now ami then a Presbyterian minister preaches to the Indiana.' The men hunt and tiah and have small fields of potatoes; they are miserably poor; the women make the queerest, quaintiost peace pipes, vases, pots, bowls. They are made in the crudest way, with the hand and knife, cut of clay, and then burned. The Indian women hriug the vessels to Hock Hill in great bundles to sell, and this is their only income; how grateful they are for a cup of cold water after trudging ten weary miles. ! The women cook in the clay vessels and use them in the culinary departments. The women are striking looking, with perfectly erect forms, finely cut features, I LI I- I nun*k nair, penetrating eyea and teeth like ivory. Some of the children are beautiful in all their poverty. It whh my privilege to visit the Catawlm Nation a few montliH ago with Dr. Carlisle and Mr. Hull. "The most pathetic figure in the Houth are the Catawba Indiana, with no history and no hope for the future of their people." One of Indian women told ua many interesling facta of their living. We inaiatud on her Hinging an Indian aotig. After much perauaaiou alio began a low, Had chat in the worda of her forefathera. Presently alie i broke down and wept, Haying it hurt her heart to think of her peo- j p|e all gone. Dr. Carliale waa re- ' minded of another incident that j took place twenty-five centuries ago, which waa celebrated in a lit- ! tie Hebrew poeill. A little change would anil, the Cutawlms: ' lly the rivers of Carolina there we ant down, yea we wept when we remembered our goodly land, j "We hanged our rude inatru- i incuts on the branches of the trees. For they that had captured ua and our homes required of ua mirth, | saying, Hing ua one of the songs of our people." These facts ought to make us willing to help the Indians ami; make them more comfortable. Capt Samuel White, of Fort Mill, S. t\; has most generously erected a monument to t lit* Cat aw ha Indians ami Iiuh had the mimeH of the brave ' warriors who fought in the Con-1 federate war placed on the monument. Some of tho most nottnl Indians were King Hagler, Gen. Now River, Killy George ami Peter Harris, and the women wero ; Sally New Kiver and Polly Ayera. I find a few Indian words in Mills' Statistics.

Rock Hill Herald Harper Thomasson, a negro man, who has been sentenced to four months on the chain gang by Magistrate Anderson, of Kbenezer, was inarched through the city Wednesday on his way to serve his sen tence. The infant of Mr. Dobson, who is super'nteiidant of Ashe's brick yard, sustained painful and periiapH very serious injuries to its right hand Tuesday by n sash falling on it; crushing and lacerating the hand. Dr. Fennell auended the little sufferer and is fearful that ! the hand may be stiff. A movement is on foot to organ- i izo an Indian village at the Char- j leston exposition and the Catawba : tribe has been selected for this nt- , traction. Messrs. W. C. Hutchi- j son and J, J.

The village, it is expected, will be composed of 'JO or 25 men, women and children, embracing all the pure blood Indians whonro not too old and infirm to make the trip. At a meeting of the board of directors of the exposition company, ! held in Charleston on Friday last, the board concurred in tho suggestion of an Indian village andagreed to furnish the I minus transportation from Rock Hill to Charleston and give them a remote location, j where they will be expected to support themselves by making and selling pots, pipes and the curios, i peculiar to the Catawbas. The In- , dians manifest some interest in the matter, though it is hard to tell when the Catawbas are pleased for Indian characteristics are stongly manifested in the Catawbas?they seldom laugh and exhibit in their faces neither love, fear nor joy, and yet they are capalilo of a strong feeling of affection and their record as Revolutionary and Confederate soldiers shows that they are totally | fearless in battle and in the face of appalling dangers, while persons famillinr with their life say it is true that the pure bloods but selil/tlll utti l In niif I Hint thou noeor """ ? ???

An effort will bo made to organize a part of the tribe for the purpose mentioned, accepting only such as show up well as Indians. They are very poor and if they go it will be necessary to do much for thefu. for they would hardly be capable of sustaining themselves, oven, by the sale of their curios. ' Yorkvillo Enquirer. bench warrants were issued Monday for tho keepers of disorderly houses on the outskirts of Yorkvillo and Kock Hill. All the people named in tho warrants wore women. Report has it that tho Rock Hill olfendors hnvo tied, as was generally desired. The Yorkvillo olfendors are Htill here. Jim Lindsey, the negro who killed another negro named Jack- ! son at bethel, about a month or six ! weeks ago, was captured in Newton N. C\, Inst week. Magistrate Johnson, the reporter is informed, went to Newton after the negro; but the authorities at Newton demanded $25 as couspousaion for tin' trouoie. f\o rownru nnu noon offered for Lindsey and Mr. Johnson declined to pay Sheriff Logan Iiiih Hinee received requistiou papers from (ioveruor MeSweenoy and it iH expected that Lindsey will ho in the York county jail without unnecessary delay. Yorkvillo Yeoman. Mr. J. L. Kimbrell and Mr. T. A. Mills, of Fort Mill, gave the Yeoman an appreciated call before returning home from their business with court. Mr. J.
