Rock Hill There are 217 men. women
and children and their chief Is
Samuel Taylor Blue. They descend
from the powerful tribe the early settlers
had to contend with from time
to time. The Catawbas are said to
have been of the Sioux, the most intelligent
of that aboriginal family In
Carol-lna. "
The Catawbas entered Into solemn
treaty with the Carolinians and
Georgians In 1762 John Stuart, the
king's Indian commissioner, who built
the house at the northwest corner of
Tradd and Orange streets. Charleston,
assured the Indians that King George
would treat them fairly The Catawbas

"Stay-in" Strike
("loses Mollohon Mill
Newberry, May 17.?The Mollohon
Cotton Mill here, with 600 employees,
was shut down today as the result of
what the management termed a "stayIn
strike."
Wilton Todd. manager, said employees
of the spinning room yesterday
"refused to follow Instructions
of the management as to Job assignments
and continued to do so throughout
the day."
"The continuance of this 'stay-In j
strike today so disrupted production,
arrangements," he added, "that the |
management has no alternative but to
discontinue operations."
Installation of new spinning machinery
recently, made necessary by'
business conditions, Todd said, In-,
i
volvoi! the "unavoidable elimination
of a few Jobs."
The company, he said, negotiated
with the employees collectively for
six weeks and made various revisions
In Its plans to meet their viewpoints,
and, in addition, offered to pay in behalf
of the dismissed workers an unemployment
contribution of half their
full time pay for four full weeks "to
tide them over until they became eligible
for unemployment compensation."
The mill is a unit of the Kendall
Chain.
The mill has been running full time
tin a double-shift schedule.
No disorder marked the shut-down

COLORADO'S BOY HERO
Wins Out After Ups and Downs and
Lots of Hard Work.
Washington. I). C?The gripping
story of seven years In the life of Bryan
Untledt, schoolboy hero In 1931,
was told tonight by Aubrey Williams,
executive director of the national
youth administration.
It was a real life story of heroism,
national aclalm, tragedy and heartaches,
poverty and Jail, climaxed by
success that packed more drama and
pathos Into a few years than apy
Frank Merriwell or Horatio Alger flc!
tion novel.
A blinding blizzard swept Colorado
in 1931. Bryan and fifteen other
| school children were trapped in a
| school bus; snowed in. The driver
went for help Bryan kept his schooli
mati'8 alive by making them play
j games to tight off the numbing cold
Newspapers told his story; the hero-,
i ism of a twelve-year-old farm boy. Ho
came to Washington as a guest of
I President Herbert Hoover. National^
acclaim such as no other American
boy ever had was his Medals were
pinned on him; Mr. Hoover gave him
a rifle j
The deepening depression dulled na-,
tlonal memory of his deeds Bryan
I'ntiedt became the "forgotten boy;
hero."
Back on his Colorado farm he did
the chores and played with his six
younger brothers and sisters. Then
his mother died His father became
an invalid Bryan became, mother,
father and supporter of his brothers
and sisters
He struggled to keep the motherless
famliy together ?a task calling
for more heroism than the bus incident
that made him famous Kvery
dollar earned was needed for food
.in.! . !,.tiling at home He couldn t

Most Early Potatoes
Widely Distributed
Columbia, April 80.?The AAA potato
marketing agreement program
proposed for designated areas lu thirteen
early and intermediate states
would affect more than 86 per cent of
the potatoes produced in these areas,
says George E. Prince, chief of the
Divisiou of Markets^ Oiemsou College
Extension Service. These states are
Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florl
da, Georgia. ^oulKlana, Maryland, Mississippi,
North Carolina, Oklahoma,
South Carolina, Texas and Virginia.
The proposed potato marketing
agreement and order program, u referendum
on which Mr. Prince expects
to be held about May 10, is designed
to help potato prices by eliminating
culls from Interstate shipment and by
enabling the early potato industry to
restrict out-of-state shipments of other
low grades and small sizes. The program
would require federal-state inspection
of all interstate shipments of
potatoes from the areas covered by
the agreement.
The potatoes most widely distributed
throughout the country are those
produced in Florida and Texas. This
is because of the short supplies of
early potatoes In January, February
and March.
Moet of the potatoes produced in
the Gulf States are marketed in the
large Industrial cities of the Midwest,
while the crop produced In the Atlantic
Coast States is consumed chiefly
in New York, Pennsylvania, and the
New England States.
As California has a marketing season
from about May 1 to July 15, and
a wide distribution, potatoes from
that state are frequently in competition
with all of the other early and
intermediate states.

Dr. Hoy Norton is a Scotland county
boy who studied medicine and
made a specialty -xti public health
work. After Borne years of work at
Rocky Mount he went to Harvard
I'niversity to do special study and
then returned to North Carolina to
take an assignment with the State
Hoard of Health, division of prevent
ive medicine. I)r. Norton takes his
work seriously He went to Roxsboro
last week to make an address before
a public health institute. And he made
some startling statements. He presented
some unpleasant . statistics,
but they contain information that the
public should have, even though it be |
unpleasant
Dr. Norton said that from 192H
through 1! 87 there were k.291 cases
of syphilis and 4,054 cases ot gonorrhea
reported among children of high
school age in North Carolina And
he added, ' that i might say that these
cases wen not over half of the cases
that actually occurred, as not more
than 50 per cent were reported."
Dr Norton further brought out the
astounding fact that, even among
children from 5 to 'J years of age.
during the period surveyed,, gonorrhea
was eleventh in diseases reported and ,
syphilis twelfth. In the group from 101
to 14. syphilis was tenth and gonorrhea
twelfth Then the most shocking
fact of all ? the prevalence of \ e- J
neri-al diseases among high school j
boys and girls
In Scotland county of late amazing
discoveries have been made, it is reported,
about the prevalence of these j
so-called social diseases. And it is
being suggested that a clinic for their;
treatment and prevention should be j
provided Open and frank discussion;
of such subjects is advocated by
many authorities today. And what Dr ,
Norton has said presents a graphic
and startling picture of an unpleasant j
situai ion.
