Indians Hard Hit
Turn To Pottery
Rock Hill, Aug. It.?Appeals made
at various times to their "Great
White Father" having failod Catawba
Indians on the reservation near Rock
H(ll turned more than ever to prac"Vtk'e
of their ancient craft, pottery
' making, a/? a means of support. .
Such is the word of T. O. Flowers,
agent for the Indians, who reports
185 in the nation living in the 16
or so habitable homes on the reservation.
The present population is the J
' greatest since 1017 when influenza
thinned tho tribe mightily.
Need of outside aid as a means of
eps'* ai
support is evident from these Hgures !
supplied by the agent. The 11)32 ap-'
propriation for the Indians by the
South Carolina general assembly whs
$8,600 which included the amounts
set asido for the school, tho old folk
fund, medical attention and funerals.
The remainder was divided among the 1
Indians, each receiving $33.05.
A few find work in textile plants)
and other similar ways of oarnlng j
u livelihood. iSomo make patches of
corn, but the majority, said the a?ent,
are now compelled to depend largely
on tho pittance returnod from the ;
sale of pottery.
Visitors from many sections of the
country to tho reservation have observed
the Indian women.making pottery
in their shacks snd have noted
the need, of a .community house where
the, work could be done with a proper
place for'burning the clay. Present
methods have not departed from that
of the forefathers of tho Red man.
The clay is dug from the banks of!
Catawba river near the reservation
and fashioned by hands into tho desired
shape. Then into the lire placo
where meals are also prepared, the
vessels go to be burned.
Hard times have lessened not only j
the opportunities for the Indians to
obtain work but have in a large measure
wU<? removed a market for tho:
pottery.
The agent explained that the Ca- j
tawha tribe members are wards of j
the State of South Carolina by reason!
of their surrender to the state. All
other tribes in this section of the
country, he explained, surrendered to!
the federal government and consequently
are wards of Uncle Sam.
Ho said attempts by the Catawba
Indians to receive federal government
nid have always failed.
j Of the 40 or more huts on the reservation,
the agent stated, not more
than 15 or perhaps a score can be
U*ed, the others having deteriorated
almost beyond repair and at any rate
the Indians have not the means to
make thewrepairs. Seven are known
j to oat, sleep and live in a single room.
"They have no money to repair
their homes, no stock or tools to
work a crop, and cannot own a foot
of land because they ure wards of
tho state," Agent Flowers said.
Despite the condition in which they
live, the Indians send their children
to tho school on the reservation where 1
surprising progress is made. One j
man is in charge' of the-school, aj
nino-grude system, and one of the.
older students, a daughter of Chief
S. T. Blue, aids the teacher. Forty'
two pupils were enrolled Inst session.
Tho schorff operates nine months.
The school house and the Mormon j
temple, the latter erected for the Indians
by tho Mormon church, are tire
two most presentable buildings on the
reservation which includes 052 acres.
Chief HIue, who with two "head men"
govern the tribe, officiates at all religious
occasions including funerals as
well.
With the three members of the
V
governing group,' Agent Flowers set
tie* all disputes arising1 among the
Indians, 'whom he described as a
peaceful tribe.
Mr. Flowers reports the health of
the Indians the besj in several years
which accounts for the increase in
the population. Under present arrangements
medical attention can be
secured for the Indians at short nobice.
And the jpnce powerful Catawba
tribe is in evidence now only when
groups peddle their wares at fairs
or in the towns and cities near the
reservation. Visitors to tho reservation
prove good prospects for the pottery
saleswomen.
Carl Payne, do, of Maybeury, W.
Va., had a pain in his left sid?. The
doctor' was puzzled, but decided he
had all the symptoms of appendicitis.
Kxaminntion revealed that his appendix
was located on the left side. Operation
successful. rt?ev$if
of Kentucky's Democratic
congressmen 0ave been renominated
and will be ^.'-elected from the state
at large. Two Democrats will find
very stiff opposition in districts where
Republicans are strong in voting
strength. The re-election of Senator
Buckley is conceded by his closest opponent.

"WHAT'S HE DONE?"
(From The Yorkville Enquirer)
This is a stock question fire<l at
political gatherings by candidates
who are . seeking political office, regarding
the incumbent, and it has
been fired . at suc h gatherings by
young Mr. Richards of Lancaster,
who seeks the seat in congress now
occupied by Hon. William If. Stevenson.
Primarily it is used for no other
purpose than U> confuse the electorate,
which, and on the ?pur of the
moment perhaps thinks of little that
the incumbent has accomplished during
his holding of the office tor whicn
he i> a.-king re-election.
But :L is an empty question, a trick
question and one that usually means
little. f
It is not difficult to cite many ot
the things that Mr. Stevenson has
(lone lor his district during Ins term
of service, and also it is easy to c iy
some of the things he has stood for
for the welfare of the country at
large. Here are some of them:
He has been a member of congress
since IP 17. succeeding Hon. Paul G.
McCorklc, who served the unexpired
term of the late Hon. D. K. Finley.
lie became a member of congress just
before the United States declared
war on Germany and uring the conduct
of that sanguine conflict, in so
far as this country was concerned,'he
gave his loyal support to the policies
of the late President Wilson.
And since the close of the \\ orld
war he has given of his time and efforts
to securing for the World war
veterans every benefit that it is possible
for thorn to secure. He has
helped scores of those veterans to.receive
the ho>pitili/ation to whi.cn
tin > were .entitled under the laws ot
the land, and has helped them to get
this setvice after all other apparent
avenue - of aid had been closed to
them., He has helped many of these
.-oldicrs jn securing the compensations
that they are entitled to and
continues ti? take the same keen interest
in these men today that he has
taken all along. Mr. Stevenson has
consistently advocated payment of
the soldier's bonus claims.
Mr. Stevenson has been particularly
energetic in securing for the- ruial
mail routes and carriers of his district
every possible aid to which they
were and are entitled. Ho has given
lus district every possible improvement.
in mail facilities, many of them
they would not have gotten except
for his energy in going after these
aids and improvements.
He has obtained for the rural mail
carriers certain Federal moneys set
aside for the improvement of postroads
when matched by like funds
from the counties through which such
post roads pass and form part of the
rural mail routes and thus gave others
good roads to use.
He. with the aid of Hon. A. L. Bulwinkle
of North Carolina, succeeded
in having a commission appointed for
the purpose of making a survey of
the Kings Mountain battlefield to the
end that this historic battleground in
| York county might he made a national
111.111ai.v lie was aided in
thi< by Major Hulwinkle just as was
the late Mr. Finley aided by the H- n.

; ANo Mv. Stesenson -h u' i be giver,
'the credit for securing the money to
j build that monument on the Cowpens
battlefield.
Mr. Stevenson, since becoming a
j member of congress has gotten for
his district and South Carolina every
benefit ftom the Federal government
! that it has been possible for him to
I get. He has been instrumental in seI
curing ^Federal buildings at Rock Hill.
I Lancaster, ami Choraw, and other
j Federal buildings thHt are to be
erected in the near future should be
1 credited to his?efforts.
What has he done? During his
nearly sixteen years in congress he
has risen from the point of being a
: beginner until today he is one of the
I leading Democrats of the lower house
of congress. He has the respect and
confidence 'of every member of the
house from this state, and he has the
confidence and respect of every member
of the house, both Democrats and
Republicans, because they recognize
in him a man of more than ordinary
ability, one who does not stoop to
small politics and trickery to secure
what he wants done; but who is
spec ted because of his superior abillity
as a legislator and lawyer con1vorsanl
with the legal phases of practically
all legal questions involved in
! making laws lor the best welfare of
ithe nation.
lie i> a member of the powerful
'Hanking and Currency committee,
(which has to do with framing the
financial laws and policies of congress.
He is recognized by his colleagues a>
jan outstanding authority 011 legal
matters appertaining to financial legI
islatiun. He it was who helped ih
; the framing of the laws tounding the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation
and the Home Hand hank provisions
of thhC department of the government,
and he it was who saw to it
that the benefits of the Home Loan
| bank were to be secured to the sm^ll
'and individual home owner through
i Building and Loan associations and
I kept the big banks, trust companies
anil insurance companies restricted so
that these big corporations could not
gobble up the control of these home
banks to their own benefit rather than
for the benefit of the small borrowers
for home building.
He is a member of the Printing
I Committee of the house, and the
(Joint Committee on Printing of the
I two houses, and incidentally us chairman
of the house committee has be? n
instrumental in reducing the cost- !
government printing several hundred
, thousand dollars a vyear with the a.J
ami cooperation ol the other members
of the committee.
Congressman Stevenson is an ou.(standing
lighter for real economy n
spending the money of the taxpayeis,
I in this day, when most of us consider
that the most important matter before
congress and all legislatures.
When some other congressmen were
grabbing'all they could get from the
public treasury, Mr. Stevenson told a
committee that there is no urgent
need for certain postofTice buildings
and the like, in his district, and the
cost of them might well await better
times. This is true of the Yorkville
postolFice, and all the others, and
Congressman Stevenson stood high as
a statesman when he subordinated
votes for himself in the election to
the pocket books of all taxpayers.
Though Mr. Stevenson has been a
member of congress for nearly sixteen
years, he has never had any
members of his family on his payroll
as clerks, secretaries or otherwise,
and neither has there ever been a
single breath aimed at him that has
been based on the slightest suspicion
.of any scandal in his official or pri|
vate life.
j Mr. Stevenson as a member of the
1 lower* house of congress has conducti
<"d himself with such signal ahiktv
; as to gain not only the respect of
ithe Republican members of that body,
but has the respect and the endor-enu
nt of Speaker Carrier, now \. epr? -:d?
ni .a 1 eandidate; Mr. Slcgall,
airman ! the Banking and r\

: r.i next pi t-:dent and eontr-d "ie
r.ext house. Mr. Stevenson wil". : ,.ve
the hacking of the South ( ar ia
, lie legation lor the speakership.
Not the least .that Mr. Sieve-.-on
has done while in congress is that he
; has always stood for the sanctity of
(the LSth amendment on the pr<-h.oi'
tion question and stands for it today,
Sand only a few months ago was a
mong the majority voting to prevent
- measures looking to the changing of
i the amendment and the opening wide
of the gates that will allow the !e,
gnlized sale of wines, beers and li
quors in the United -States.
These are only some of the things
that Mr. Stevenson has done since he
i has been a- member of congress and
i are indicative of the things he will
i do when he is re-elected for another
, term on August 30th by the Demo
rratic voters of the Fifth congressionr
al district who appreciate ability and
1 faithfulness to his constituency.

of your Kruschen Salts just i weeks

Fat folks should take one half teaspoonful

way to reduce as tens of thousands of
pien nnd women know.
For your health's sake ask for and
get Kruschen at any drug store?the

is but a trifle and if after the first
bottle you are not joyfully satisfied
