TROUBLE WITH CROATANS.
Object to Being Placed With Negroes
at Camp Wadsworth.
The Scottish Chief says:
Walter Locklear, Robeson county j
Indian in Camp Wadsworth, S. C.,
writes his father that they are having
race trouble in camp, as an effort
has been made to place these
Indians with the negroes and Locklear
refused to be placed and trouble
ensued.
Since these people are Indians by
North Carolina statute and since
recognized as such in the state constitution,
while the United States
ranr\orrt 1700 tho InHionc n f the*
\J LA 1 y 1 V**V AMV4AVWMM V 4. VMV
reservations and only two faces in
^ North Carolina of the Cherokee Inp
dian Reservation, there seems to be
no place for our Indians unless there
were enough of them to form separate
companies as in the case with
the white and negro races. They
are willing to serve their country
but do not wish to be humiliated.
It must be remembered that before
the general assembly recognized
these people as a separate race, they
did not associate with the colored
folks and grew up in ignorance rather
than attend the negro schools and
this condi&on as well as political ex?
pediency caused the adoption of tne
theory of the late Hon. Hamilton
McMillan that they were descendants
of the Sir Walter Raleigh lost colony
merged with Indians or Croatan.
We would direct the attention of
Governor Bickett to this emergency,
with the hope that he may be able
to bring about an acceptable agreement.
They say that if it is necessary
to go across as either white
men or negroes they do not want to
go?while they are willing to labor
and fight for their country.
' s, Mr. Clifton Rhoad Writes.
The following interesting letter
, from Mr. Clifton Rhoad to his mother,
of the Hunter's Chapel section,
was kindly handed us for publication, ,
and will be of interest to his many
friends in this section:
"Somewhere in France, 11 September,
1918.
"My Dear Mother:?I seem at a
loss to know what to write these days.
Eating, sleep and work takes up the
greater .portion of our time. Of
course we have some time to get out
and converse with the people, but I
have not been able to take the best
advantage of the time. A French
professor of this place, at home on vacation,
has very kindly given a few ot
us lessons in French. We meet for
an hour each night. I think I will be
able to carry on an elementary conversation
in French if we stay over
here several years. I can understand
several words, but as for pronouncing
one I have never been near
Tight. I had a very interesting ex- j
perience the other day. I went down
to the river to wash some clothes
and the place I chose was near an i
old lady engaged at the same job. 1
All of the people here do their wash- i
ing in the river. -They use a three *
sided box with a wide fiat board in J
front. They kneel in the box and
scrub and paddle their clothes on the '
board. 'The contraption is placed at ?
the edge of the stream with the board |
extending into the water. "^Well,
when I came up the old lady pointed
to an empty box near her and said a
great deal about it that I could not
grasp, but I finally understood that
she wanted me to use the empty box.
It was covered with straw which
seemed to me better than kneeling on
rocks, so I decided to try it. No
sooner had I got placed than she be?
gan to instruct me in the ancient and
honorable practice of clothes washing.
She continued eloquently for
some time but not being able to get
me to understand it she gave it up
tor a bad job. I began washing, and not
being accustomed to the box I got
overbalanced and almost fell into the
river. I have reached the conclusion
that it is best to do things your own
way.
"I received a letter from Uncle Willie
a few days back, he wrote from
Baltimore that he would be in New
York in a few days and would like
^ to see me. I regret that I did not
got to see him. I also heard from
Clair. He is of my opinion in regard
to France and that is that it is a good
place to be. I have not heard from
you yet but I am quite sure that I
will soon. I wish you would have J
The Herald sent to me and be sure to /
give my correct address. \
"Lots of love to all.
"Devotedly,
"CLIFTON."

Corporal Nelson's Views.
Corporal, the Hon. Knnte Nelson,
who enlisted in the Union army as a
private when he was eighteen, but,
as he bashfully admitted in answer
to a question by a fellow senator,
'"attained the rank of corporal," is
a strong advocate of calling boys of
eighteen for service overseas. The
corporal knows what he is talking
about in that respect, but we suspect
that he is not as well informed about
the effect a half a century of fashion
for athletics, for outdoor life, has
had on older men since he was a soldier.
Said the corporal in the man
power bill debate: "To send a lot
of these superannuated men, as I
call men over thirty, to Europe and
put them in the fighting line would
be simply to have that many to carry
back in the course of a year." Superannuated
at thirty-one? Oh, Corporal!?New
