WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 18,1895. Walhalla and the Cherokee In diane. Norman Park Hotel, \ Walhalla, S. C, Sept. 11, '95./ Jfr. Editor:?I have been enjoy i og for some time the&\r of this lengthy ol? town which, with suburb?West Union?lies narrowly along its main street for nearly four miles. It re tains much of its Teutonic flavor, and seated in the Lutheran church, with its high pulpit and quaint congregation, one might easily imagine oneself in the Vaterland. It isa quiet and healthy 'ace ; if its three physi cians were each a Briareus, tbey would still find time to fold their hasds and possess their souls in patience. But Rip is waking, (or there is a ?arge cotton factory going up rap idly ; a canning factory, also, vhere peaches, pears and tomatoes bide themselves in shining tin, and a factory where jogs and jars of ell shapes and sises are brought into existence by the deft hands of the potter. It is most fascinating to watch the clay rise from the wheel obedient to the least touch of the band, and seem to shape itself as if instinct wi h life. My thoughts turn to the words of Ho?y Writ: ?'Sball not the potter hare power over the clay ? The tunnel, about six miles distant, is a favorite resort for young people for drives, picnics, etc They drive within about a half mile, and then scramble over the rocks to its mouth. This tunnel was cut years ago for the Blue Ridge road, but abandoned. A new road is projected which will run in a different direction, so this appears to be labor lost. A very intelligent young geutleman who has just returned from the Cherokee Reserva tion, near th? CuIIowkee Mountain in Jack son county, N. C, gives me the following facts : There are 2,500 of these Indians, oc cupying a territory of twelve miles square, and receiving from the U. S. government $13,000 annually. The present chief is Still well Sawnooki, but they are on the eve of an election?the two candidates being Sampson Owl and Standing Deer. They do no elec tioneering (may we not take a lesson) but are the same silent, indolent sons of the Great Spirit as when Gen. Pick ins made tbe treaty with them ucder the great oak near Stone Church, not far from Clemaon CoHege. Stone Church was built by the Indians as a fort, but its port holes have been filled up and all denominations bold service there. There are said to be over 2,000 persons buried io its large burying ground, many of. whom are Cbarlestoniaos. At Quella Town, on Ocona Lofty Creek, there is a graded school of 200 pupils, with a j white superintendent and four Indian teach ers. The whites call it the Yellow Hill j school; tbe Indian name is Eilabwautebah. j Qtie of tbe Indian teachers, a young man of j 20, Jim Bly by name, is a college gradu%te, J very bright and up-to-date. Scholarships in j Northern colleges may be obtained by gradu- j ates from this school, but only about one in ? !wenty-6ve attain graduation. I am sure of : exciting the sympathy of our graded school pupils when I mention the id that the j "Hons to their path" are arithmetic and grammar. For tbe brother In red? however, geography, drawing and music bave no ! terrors. Ola, the son of the chief, Still well ' Saunooke, is considered the brightest pupil, j but even he, I suspect, is ecarcely enthusias tic over Dartial pavment of square root. I some of the Indians.from the reservation; come down to Ococee in the fall, and drive a j tbriviog trade in arrows, blow-guns, and j baskets. Oconee station is one of their oidi trading poiuts. As Mr. McDonald Furmao j has told you so entertainingly of the Cataw- j has, I bave tried to give you a glimpse of the Cherokees. Tbo' I have not "drunk blood from the skulls of mine enemies" in 1 this old Norse "Valhalla," I have quuifed with pleasure its delightful water, and rn joyed tbe cool breezes wafted from the Biue Mountains seen on the horizon, unless veiled from us by the "dark embroidery of storm, j Yours, .

Mrs. Phoebe-Thomas, of Junction City, III was tol l by her doctor .-he had Consumption and that there was no hope for her, but two j bottles Dr. King's New Discovery completely ' cured her and she says it saved her life. Mr. ( Thos. Eggers, 139 Florida St. San Francisco, \ suffered from a dreadful cold, approaching Consumption, tried without result everything dse then bought one bottle <>f Dr. King's New Discovery and in two weeks was cured. He is naturally thankful. It is such results ?; which these are tainples, that prove tue wonderful efficacy of this medicine in Cough* : and Colds. Free trial Bottles at J. F.
