IIAIGLER, KING OF CATAWBAS. ! , r I he 20 or more Indian tribes inlml* 1 lting I In- trlangnlrir shaiwMl niece of I territory now known as South Caro lina were sub-divisions of the four principal raws in America. The hill .?Hid mountain corner jvas_ inhabited by I the Cherokee*, a sulwltvision of the warlike Iroquois race; the Catawbas belonging to the Sioux race, which emigrated from this section to the west. The lower corner of the state was populated by the Yen i a sees. The history and lore of this state is full of Indian legends and the Ked Men of today should undertake to preserve all of these beautiful old stories of .the Phot ic wlm have passed. There were great men and warriors of the tribes that inhabited this state when the white men first landed. There Is Osceola. whose grave Is on the site of Fort Moultrie, and there was King Halgler. the noblest of the Catawbas. The mast distinctive object in the city of Camden is the figure of King Halg ler which surmounts the tower of the city hall. For nearly a century he has stood there, a sentinel on the pinncle, with his face ever to the storm, a work of art nothing short of a masterpiece In recalling the form of the great king of the Catawbas, a man who loved his white brother. He is represented in fine pose, with drawn bow and arrow, a quiver at his back, feathers in his hair and stag's horns at his feet. There stands the man primeval, no guile in his heart, no, hatred for mankind, yet a warrior bold and fearless in defense. There are, extant today letters from King Halgler to <*ov. Ulon, dated about 1700, 1 in which tbv Indian pledges his as- 1 slstance to the white men of Kouth Carolina in repelling an invasion from Fort - DuQucsne, . the headquarters of the French army. Halgler sided with the colonists* in their wars with the Cherokeex ami in every way tried to uphold the hands of the white man and to advance the _causo of the Indians. The Catawbas were ruined by an epidemic of small pox and many of them learned from' the white man the habit of drink. King Halgler is the first citizen of South ( aroliua to make^an ap]>eal for a prohibition law. His document is unique in the history of this country, an appeal from a red man for the pre tection of his people. . The prowess of JJie Indian warrior against the elements, tor^fhe statue of King Halgler nt Camden is a weather vane, cannot better l>e described than in the words of a former writer: "The old Indian, so dear to the hearts of the people, was never known to turn his beck to the storm: yet T have seen him bend his head before the blast and quiver like an asi>cn leaf, while spectators with bated breath expected to him hurled from his alrv porch. 1 But no, lie would Ruddcnly recover his equilibrium," boldlfr faee the war riug elements, and with }x)inte<l arrow "V "' hhl tiHiniKv to the hurricane."
