With the exception of the few Croutans, who live in the Southern part of the State, the Indians of North Carolina are Cherokees and are something more than one thous and stiong, the. number of men and women ?being about equal. In the early years of this century a large band of this tribe drifted West und now form one of the live civilized tribes of the Indian Terri tory and i.-r known as the Western Hand of the Cherokees. The emi gration is still westward and in this way tjhe Indians of North Carolina are gradually becomitig less minier? pus. My introduction to the Cherokee Indians was through a base ball team that had driven twenty-five miles to Wayucsville from across the mountains in afour-in-Jiand. These young bucks had conic to test their skill and strength on the Diamond with the w hi to boys of Waynesville. There were features of this game that, made it unique. For an Indian to do wonderful shooting with the bow or to make himself hideous in a war dance seems quite in keeping with his nature, but Indians on a base ball field is a novel sight. There was no need of uniforms nor colors to distinguish the one team from the other; it was the whiteman against the redman. 'The game put the two races on the same social plane. The Indians were entertained at the vil lage hotel and ate in the dining room with the other boarders. An Indian baa thus expressed his idea of the social question : "Indian first, white man next, then dog and negro last." The home of t he Blastem Band of kthe Ohorokecs is u group of four pRbuntied, Jackson, Swain, Graham and Ohorokee, in the extreme South? western part of North Carolina. This section of tho Suite is called tho Quulhi Boundary, a wild region of groat elevation tying between the Blue Hidgo and the Smoky Moun tains. Here one finds unmeasured forest of choice timber; hickory, Wftlnht, pine, holly, chestnut, sour wood, mulberry, spruce, hemlock, poplar, and oak. The fertile coves are watered by streams as swift us an arrow and as clear as crystal. Bass and speckled trout furnish sport to those who have the skill and endur ance to catch these splendid speci mens of tho finny tribe. A stout horse and a strong buggy carried my wife and myself from Waynesvillo through Soco (lap to \ Yellow Hill, a distance of about twenty-live miles. Kvery rod of the way was fdll of interest, and for fifteen miles the steep, narrow and rocky road fringed with ferns and ! rhododendrons, winds amid the wild est of all mountain scenery.? Kor miles there is not a human habita tion and tho stillness is at times oppressive; not a sound except the splashing of tho waters of Jonathan's Oreek on the one sido of tho gap and of Soco Creek on the other side; not n bird, hoi a wild animal of anf kind did wo see along tho entire route?all game/'big and little, had J^u killed by tho indefatigable ?bm hunter. / ^B\" >ko neu red the government i view, and one seen all are seen. The first cabin in the residence of an old Indian, Mr. Pheasant, situated sev- . eral hundred yards from the road, a com patch in front, without the sign . of a path leading to it; built of hewn logs closely fitted and with one room. The number of long, wide, and high footlogs spanning the ereek attracts attention. By careful couut there are twenty-eight of these logs within two mileB. Here we come on a squad of Indians loll ing by the wayside, who treat us with i lie greatest indifference; again we meet a buck riding bareback, who tries to give us as much room as possible ; at another point ayoung squaw with pappooae fastened to her back makes her way in the opposite direction, with quick step anu eyes fixed on the ground. They will let the traveler go by without look or wor<K I have been told that they watch straugers very closely from some hiding place, but when met on the highway they seem confused and to be in a hurry to get out of the way. The men wear citizen's dress and the women delight in garments made of the most brilliant red. A group of squaws arrayed in red filing along the road, with their babies and bundles strapped to their bucks, is picturesque. The government makes every ef fort to keep out of the reservation settlers, both whites and negroes, and the laws of the State forbid inter marriage, yet there arc many half breeds, and it was my observation that the cross between the white man and redman makes a handsome man and a beautiful woman, but they are said to be of a more evil disposition than either race. The Indian has no fondness for town lifo and hence the centers of popula tion are few and hardly worthy of the name of village. Wolf Town/ Bird Town, Big Cove and Yellow Hill aro the priucipal places and it is at the latter that a government school has been established first under the Frionds, but for the past three years the government has, had entire control. It i? u most beauti ful situation , the ?cona Lufta river, wide and clear, curves in full view of the buildings, rellecting like a great mirror every object near its waters. At the base of the hill, which is the site of dormitories, is a luxuriant lawn on which fine Jer seys browse. The months of July and August are vacation, yet we found pupils who had not returned to their homes, and the Superinten dent, Mr. Potter, the instructor in Agriculture, Mr. Shelton, and the ladies connected with the school were very kind and entertained us in ?Very way possible. Between the superintendent's office and the school room is a quaint band stand, which is used by a large and excellent In dian brass band. The stand is a mulberry tree which sends out from its trunk eight or ten feet from the fround nine largo branches in the orm of the ribs of an open inverted umbrella. On these limbs the cir cular lloor is placed with seats and railing. There is nothing remarka ble about the school room except the fact that the desks are free from the marks of pencil and knife. No "im mortul" names were carved on the lids. There were several excellent maps drawn on the boards; there was a very accurate map of North Carolina drawn by Laskic Standing deer, but the best map was that of the United States drawn by Abel Wolf. I was so well pleased with this that 1 asked to see Abel. He was called into the school-room and I was introduced to a stout, intelli fent Indian boy fourteen years old. Ic had been in the school for three years; he speaks and writes English well and is fluent in the use of Cherokee; he was fond of reading, writing and drawing, but did not like arithmetic. He wrote on the: board in beautiful letters "Not Fail ure, But Low Aim is Crime." -The boys and girls are received at this ' school when seven years old and are taught, fed, clothed and, I may add, washed, by the government until they are ready for higher education, when they are sent to a Northern school like that at Carlisle. It is easier to tench them English than I to cultivate in them a fondness for the food that other ]ieople enjoy. The Indian bean bread, a mixture of meal and beans, which their friends ' bring to thorn, is eaten with greater relish than tho most palatable dish prepared by the best of cooks. They dotes> milk and vegetables. The girls are more vicious-than the boys. When the p ipils leave the school they often go back to their old ways. ' About four hundred of this nation are now being taught by Christian men and women. The government! I?is made an appropriation for 135 pupils at the Yellow Hill school for the next year. Tho industrial side of education receives much attention; the girls are taught to sew and the boya tho use of tools. A good gar-' don and farm are connected with tho school. The old Indians know little Kn liah, hut have a written language of their OWH*> The namea of the Indians are amusing. The Christian names of the younger ones are Bible namea. Mrs. Owl, a very intelligent woman, aold us some gracefully shaped pieces of pottery made by her own handa. Still water Sounonka is chief of the nation. Other characters arc ?Judaa Boardevil, Noah Deerskin, Isaac Big moat, Molly Walkingstick. In a work recently acut out by the i government, several statements are mado about these Cherokces that are not correct, and tho report on the whole is too favorable. These Indians seldom go through the form of marriage and they tire not faithf.nl as man and wife. They { arc seldom seen in * the criminal! courts, yet they will got drunk at times and murder each other. They are fond of whiskey and drink it whenever they can get it. They are not industrious, and the women are still the burden-bearers. They may be called a law-abiding peoplo, yet they arc savages in many respects. In the midnight on some lonely mountain the bucks meet and around A log-fire, djttsscd only in knee-pants, ^nrvjj^gj^y^^ I he bloo^rou^ their anus while the squaws chant some monotonous dirge. I Wayuesville, N. 0., Aug. G, 1895. Making the Home Happy. BY JAM KS RORKRTB. N. Y. Observer. The sweetest place ou earth to every man, woman aud child should be the place called home. The heaven or the future begiuson earth, and the nearest we ever get to the eternal home of celestial joy should be beneath the family roof. Every member of the household has some thing to do with inukiug home what it is, and our homes are just what we, the inmates of the house, make them. What a tremendous.. respon sibility is here laid upon fathers und mothers, upon brothers and sisters, upon every individual of the house hold. It should ever be remembered that the happiness of the home does not depend on its outward nor on its in ward adornment; nor is it dependent on tho mental culturo or material wealth which tho family may repre sent. Some of tho most delightful homes aro to be found among the poorest of the poor; und some of the most unhappy, miserable homes are to be found among those in which wealth abounds. Some of the seem ingly poorest homes are among tho richest, while some of the apparent ly richest homes are really the poor est. The fact is, that wealth has little or nothing to do with making the happiness of our homcB. The character of tho homo?its happiness or its misery?depends upon the spirit and temper of those who com-1 pose the family circle. One little mosquito may destroy the rest and comfort of the whole night; and so one little rebellious Bpirit, constant ly resisting or fretting against the authority which is so essential to every well regulated household, may iill all hearts with foreboding shad ows or dark clouds which shut out the oheeriug sunlight of the ever joyous spirit that gladdens and makes happy the true home. | Happiness is not the natural state of the home. Tho cursed blight of sin is on the home us oh eve.y other relation of mankind. Happiness in the home is th,e product of divine grace and human effort. It is a plant that grows and thrives only us it is carefully watched and labor ? iottsly cultivated. One of its most inveterate foes is selfishness. Fathers are selfish in the pursuit of their business, their studies, their various forms of personal enjoyment. Moth ers are selfish in the gratification of their desire for pleasure and even in the performance of work relating to the church and to tho cause of mis sions. The children, of course, are intensely seltish. This is the out cropping of depraved human nature, which every child must be taught to check and suppress. Selfishness must be crucified, not only once, but every day in those who constitute the truly happy home. In order to elevate the home, to make it happy .and heaven-like, every dweller within the walls of the sacred inclosure must put forth the most thoughtful, watchful and per sistent effort; parents and children must decide that the home shall be uhe most attractive and the most delightful place in all the world, and then by every energy and power of their being, strive to make thiit. decision effective. In the home spend your leisure hours, speak your sweet est words, tell your most amusing stories, scatter most bountifully your most cheerful smiles. In every way, aim to be and to do your best at home for its entertainment, amuse ment and elevation. Whatever you are elsewhere, be ever most agreeable at home. I Above all things else, invite and welcome Ood by his ever blessed Spirit to preside over all the affairs of your home. Let God be recogni zed us the provider of all mercies when you sit down to meals around the family table, by at least a silent pause in which you give thanks for the gifts that are beforo you. As the day begins and ends, when tho morning dawns and the shades of the night begin to gather about yon, let the Heavenly Father be honored by the gathering of the whole house hold around the throne of his grace and around the-family altar, where the Bible shall be read as the Word of God and where, in simple, honest words of morning and evening pray er, "all shall be commended to the watchful keeping of Him whose hands hold the stars in their courses and who guides the rise and fall of empires, as well as the llight of a sparrow, and counts tho hairs of our heads. Hev. Dr. .lames Hamilton gives this recipe for the making of a happy home, which is well worth trying. "Integrity must ho the architect, and tidiness the uphols terer. It must be warmed by affection and lighted up with Cheerfullness ; and industry must be the ventilator, renewing the atmosphere and bring ing in fresh salubrity every day; while over all, for a protecting can opy of glory, nothjng will millieo except the blessing of Hod."

An Outline of HI* View? In H< ?anl lu tlio < on-.i i? in tonal iouveuiluu. The Piedmont Headlight gives the following report of Senator lrby's speech at the barbecue at his l.o.uo iu Kau runs : After dinner, the boys began to yell for Irby, and in response to ibelr call the Senator made a nngiug spotoh. He said he was about broken down, but tbe boys wanted to hear Irom bim, add whatever bis friends wanted they should have if in hits power tu bestow. Senator Irby spoke very feelingly of tbe manifestations of esteem and con fidence given him. Ho said he would give the people a brief account of his views in regard to tbe constitutional convention, for they had a right to know. He would have to offend none, but in dealing with politleal matters, It demanded truth and candor. Tbe speaker then outlined bis polioy in regard to the convention. First, he favored a reduction in salaries, as promised the people in is'.iu. lie thought tbe pay of our pub-1 ? lie officers should be reduced In some proportion to the price that the farmer I mu.it receive for his crops. He be lieved In sealing the salaries of judgeti from $3.500 to *2,000, aud that they should be elected by tbe people instead of by the legislature. Tne people had just as much rigbt to elect judges as tney had to eleot a governor; ! mat it was not right to bold any public ; servant above those wbom he must serve. The people could be trustud and ho boliovou iu giving them the greatest latitude und power. Second, he wuuld vote for abolishing the South Carolina College and Citadol Academy, and use the mouoy thus saved toward building up our country schools ; that it was not right for tho Stato to expend $800 iir educating tho rich man's ohild and only 9<i upon tho poor man's' ohild. Ho favored tho liboral support of Clemsun College und tho Girls' Industrial School, for thoy were designed to prepare our boys and girls lor making an houest , living, and give tho State what it so badly needs, trained teachers. A boy could go to Clemsun for about $00 a your, whilo it would oost more than three times that muoh to attend tho colleges iu Columbia and Charleston. Senator Irby said he was glad to see good schools established iu tho towns, but it was his desire to have equally as good sehools iu the country as there i are in our towns. He wanted every man be given an opportunity to say which bcbool his tax must go to, uud then let the Stute uiako a liberal pro vision for the schools iu our rural dis tricts. He had voted for an appropria tion to the South Carolina College While a member of the legislature, for tho Constitution demanded" that it be kept up, and he had sworn to obey the Constitution. Hut whon wo frumo our new orguuic law, that clauso should be omitted, and if a youth felt himself above attending Clemson, why he could go to sumo of tho other literary e.ol leges in this and other Stales. Senator Irby also favored putting a provision in the Constitution requiring tne stato to provide for Confederate veterans who lost health in dofonse of their country, or received wounds that incapacitated them for labor. These o'd heroes were fast passing away, uud the State should see that their ouelin ing days weru mudo as comfortable as possible. Many of them are now in our poor houses, and it is a disgrace to South Carolina, and a shame upon her people. Tho Confederate privute sol dier in our State has ncvor been hon ored and oared for as ho deserved, and therefore he (Irby) should seek to have engrafted in our new Constitution a olause making suitnolo provision for the support of indigent Confederate veterans. The Senator next touohed upon our cotton mill operatives, and grow elo quent in his defense of their rights. He said ho had information that white men employed in our cotton factories had been discharged because they dared oxorciso thoir rights as Ameri can froomen, and vote for tho candi dates of thoir choice. Other imposi tions upon these people had boon prac ticed. There was a cotton mill going up in Laurons, and he doubted not but that the samo spirit of co-eroioo would be attempted in his own eounty as wus practiced in Spartanburg and other couutlos. ("Thoy are already at it," replied a voico.) Our Heform move ment, continued Senator Irby, guaran tees to every whito man tho privilege of going to tho ballot box and there de positing his vote for the oandidutos of his choice. I shall favor, in the enu meration of Stato officers the establish ment of a labor commissioner, whose duty It shall bo to see that the poor working people of this Stato have their eve.\y right acoordec them, and that they are not imposed upon by tho EXPELLED ?every poison and impurity of vom* bloo 1, by Dr. Pierce's Golden Med ical Discovery.

Simpson, president of the board of trustees of Clouison College, in referonco to an article printed last week obout tho troubles ut Clomson. This intorvlow is taken from tho Peo ple's Advocate of Anderson : " I would like to Interview you in re gard to the article concerning Clomson Collogo which appeared in The State of the 15th lust. Do you care to nay anythlug on tho subject V" ''I am willing at all times to givo to tho public any information concerning Clemson Collego that 1 am possessed of. The meetings of tho board ar? never secret. From the very beginning tho I board of ti us'.o>?s addressed Itself prin cipally toi rectat Port Hill h?. h a plant for the College as would best secure the results aimed at. Tue first of these results wan to reduoo the cost of edu cation and place it in the reach of ov j ury b >y In the Slate, if possible. Our work in this respect spo.iks for itself: Board, room and furniture, washing, I light? and heating *l> per month, $(50: I two uniforms, $2:',; washing, *.">: hos pital fee, 95. Total, $92.00. '?What can you say as to the har mony existing in the faculty V "When tho College was organ I/.id tho management of tlie College was placed in the hands of the president and faculty. Now, it was not expected that perfect system and order in the management and coordination of the various departments ol t4io Collego could bo attained at oneo or without sumo frietion. This tho board expect ed?because such has been the uniform experience of all other agricultural and mechanical colleges. There has been, however, far loss friction at Clom son than we expected, and Vne hoard is now wot king to harmonize and co-ordi nate the various branches taught in the College, and to accomplish this no troublo is anticipated." " Wlmt are tho relations existing be tween President Craighead and the bourd of trustees, and between him and tho students v" ''The relations between President Craighead and the board uro entirely satisfactory. I'resioont Craighead Is proving himself emineutly well quali fied to manage the affairs of the Col lege, and tho question is now ugitatod of vesting in President Craighead more and enlarged power and author ity. The very best of feolines exist between President Craighead and tho students." " What havo you to sxy about the management ot the mcchunical depart ment?" " I am personally familiar with the details of the management of th; me chanical department. This is tho larg est department of the kind in the Southern States, and it has taken time to organize und equip it, but it is a source of pride to the board of trustees, and to every citizen that bus visited it. Prof. Tomp'fius was not elected as full professor-until tho hoard was perfectly satisfied with His ability to conduct tho department creditably. The fact that tho board last winter promoted Prof. Tompkins to ti full professorship is enough to show his standing with the bo^rd. The work und instruction in this department is entirely satisfactory to the board, and tho students take great pleasure and delight in their work in tint- department." " is tho agricultural department In efficiently managed by its present head ?" " It takes more 'me to fully organize and equip tho agricultural depart ment. This the hoard has learned by experience, but Associate Professor McGoe, tho head of this department, has the full conlldenco of tho board of trustees." "Is it true that tho boys In both these departments are dissat it-lied with their progross ?" "If the (students in these depart ments are dissathfiod (fc has never como to my hearing. Last winter when tho hoard met, and wo were in formed that the Legislature had de clined to make the appropriation asked for, it was found necessary to discon tinue tho pay for labor of" studonts as heretofore, but when we learned of Mir. iact that the full amount asked for j hud been given, I immediately culled u special meeting of the board, and Immediately upon assembling the board made ample provisions for this purpose. I have no doubt tberu wus some disappointment among tho boys when their pay was cut ofl', but there him been none since it has been re stored." '? Was tho meeting of tho board a stormy one in the sense in which The State speaks of It'." "Emphatically the mooting of the I board was not a stormy one. Tho board felt that the time had come when each member should be personally familiar with tho workings of tho College so Unit we could the better work togother to forward the interots of the College, and to this end the members which havo heretofore been doing tho bulk of the work resigned in order to force the work upon tho whole board. Thor? was no personal feeling in the matter." " Why has tho number of students i decreased ?" I "This la the middle of the College fear and we did not expect any increase n the number of boys iu attendance. I There la no decrease in tho number, except from natural causes." ** W bat can you say as to the amounts received during the last soholast'o year ?" " A full report of tho amount needed for the Col lego was made to the Legis lature at tho last sosslon. Of this amount tho State gave $35.000, and tho balanco of the privilege tag tax after paying tho expenses of this depart ment, amounted to $24,000. Tho bal ance of tho money coming to the Col lege conios from tho federal Govern ment. Tho $:if>,000 given by tho State as a special appropriation was ox pond ed upon tho Collego plant, a full report of -viiicli will bo mado to the Legisla ture ut tho next session." "Have you substituted convict labor because the work of tho boys was un satisfactory V" " Tho convict luhor is used only to do such work us the students can't do." " How is tho fare there now '." "Tho faro in the dormitory Is and has boon hotter than it ?vor has been. [ frequontly drop in tho dining room when least ox peeled and I speak from my owu knowledge and from what the boys toll mo." " Anything else that you would like to state ?" " We are willing and are desirous for any and everybody to come to Clemson and examine into everything on the hill; what is there is open to the full inspection of every man, bo ho friend or onomy. A full examination will at least impress ono with tho many and diilicult problems which tho board has to encounter. I have been asked by a do/.ou men to-day if I had resigned from tho board. Let mo say that 1 have not. I simply resigned from tho executive committee as stated above." ThbEppeotop Pulling Fodder.? Stripping too leaves from tho standing stalUs of corn while in thoir best grcon condition, is quite a common practice in some sections of tho country. When properly eurod and bound in bundles they make excellent winter fodder and it is generally considered that the pulling of tho loaves causo no decrease in production of grain. To test the q.iu stlon of loss or gain, experiments were made on 15 plats at the (Jeorgia station. From one-half of each .the leaves wore stripped and the fodder carefully eurod and dried. Tho plats from which tho blades were stripped yielded 2.'1.0 bushels of shelled corn per acre. The unstrip ped plat gave a yield of 27.."1 bushois per acre, a loss of 3.4 bushels as tho re sult of pulling the fodder. Hut the yield of fodder was 270 pounds per aero : at a cost for pulling and curing of SI eouts. In other words, there was a loss equal to 100.4 pounds of corn and a gain of 270 pounds of fodder. From the abovo and a similar trial preceding it, the conclusion is reached that tho strongest argument against the practice is the meager results in fodder compared with the amount of labor involved. The same labor em ployed in mowing grass or any other good forago crops, even without tho uso of Improved harvesting machinery, would yield vastly greater results. -m . - . -? ?
