not a good thing, the best way to
get rid of IL is to abolish the law
under which il is maintained. IL
the islands are to become a part Of
the American republic, American
institutions ought TO he adopted,
forthwith, 70 the fullest extent
possible. Contract labor here is
indeed one OF the strongest things
urged in the United States against
annex stion. While the general
impression here and iu the Slaies
has been that Hawaiian contract
labor would necessarily die with
the raising of the Stars and
Stripes, the communications of the
Administration to Congress con
tain suggestions of a possible ar
rangement to maintain the
local institution in question,
at least for a time, after an
nexation. This impression has
not been beneficial to til
cause either in Washington or tn
Union At large. If, happily,
word could go hence to Washing
ton before the matter is decided,
either on the treaty or other mea
sure, that the Hawaiian Legirla-
ture had abolished contract labor,
it would have mighty influence
on the decision. 1t would show
that we were ready TO accept the
game as we'll as the name of
American policy in this as in
other matters. Then, promising
that early annexation under some
territorial polhy is assured, there
is still strong motive for getting
rid of the contract labor system
even if the islands are taken in
with that attachment allowed to
remain, Professionally and tenn

ambition, from that moment for

should be thrown overheard if not
done beforehand as DOW proposed
in the Legislature, is the article of

Washed Ashore From the Wreck of a
Blockade Runner

Yesterday while Mr.. S. H. Fullen-
weider, a New York drummer, was
walking up the beach, at Carolina
beach, he found a small leather bag
opposite the wreck of the blockade run
ner which was run ashore, nearly OPP
posite where Sedgeley Hall club house
now stands, during the war in order
to soap from Federal war vessels
that were chasing her. It is supposed
that the leather bag was washed
ashore from the old blockade runer, as
it had barnacles IN it, and was nearly
destroyed by salt water. In it were
ten silver quarters, a roll Of confeder-
ate money, a case knife and fork, and
some papers on which there was writ
ing, but not now legible. The outside
pieces of confederate money had rot
ted so no n could have told what
it was but three or four bills inside
were pretty we'll preserved.

ARE SPANIARDS ssPORTEGEES,,
How Some Darkies Settled the Ques-

While returning from Wrightsville
last night some colored cyclists stop
ped at the mineral spring. While they
were lounging aroun they fell to dis
cussing the war with Spain. Robert
Sylvester said the S~paniards were
"Portegees" and Sam Smith laughed
at him and told him he did not know
what he was talking about. Sylvester
got mad and a wrangle ensued and
finally the controversy ended in a fight.
Sylvester drew a knife and cut Smith
in two places on his left arm and cut
a long slash in his clothes from his
left shoulder across the body nearly to
his waist. Strange to say the mans
coat and shirt were cut clear through
but the skin was not even marked.
How the knife or razor blade failed to
split Smith open is hard to conceive.
Smith came on to the city and had his
wounds dressed, but Sylvester O.
out through the woods and at last ac-
counts had not come to town. The
other bicyclists brought his wheel to
town and turned it over to the person
from whom he had borrowed it.

her she was to be the author of a
story of the title of her book; that it
would be dramatized and be put up

that she will finally be crowned queen

PASSED A BOGUS CHECK
A White Man Swfndies the Shoe Estab-
Ifshment Of Mr. 4. Shrier-POlice Hot
on the Trail. |

The police are very anxious to OBJ
tain a birds eye" view of a white
man named A. c. Morriss, who worked
a shrewd swindling game upon one
of our merchants Monday. He passed
a bogus check for $40 at Mr.. A.
Shrier's shoe establishment, on Mar
ket street, between Front and Second,
and then vamosed.
Morris is a cripple and is we'll known
in this city. He knew Mr.. Julius Tay-
lor, head clerk in Mr.. A. Shrier's, quite
well, and Monday he walked into the
shoe store and, after cordially greet
ing Mr.. Taylor, who came forward to
wait on him, he proceeded to make
purchases. He bought several arti-
cles, the cost of which amounted to
about.$3. so, and rendered in payment
a cheek for $40, made out on the Citi-
Zens Exchange Bank, Of Richmond,
Va, payable to A. c. Morris n sign
ed by E. J.. Law. The check, Morris
said, he had got Mr.. Geo. Harriss, Jr.,
of this city, who he knew quite we'll,
to endorse it.
Never for one instant thinking the
"oo " 6CllulllC, CoPCSldiiy I'D
the name of Mr.. Harriss appeared on
the back, Mr.. Taylor accepted it. He
gave Morriss the difference in money,
and Morriss then took his departure,
after p~rofusely thanking Mr.. Taylor
for his kindness.
Tuesday the check was sent to one
of the city banks for collection, and
was promptly returned, accompanied
by the startling information that it
was mo good" Investigation immedi-
ately followed, of course, and a tele-
gram sent to Richmond brought back
the answer that the name Of E. J.
Law was, no doubt, a fictitious one.
Mr.. Harriss also disclaimed any ac-
quaintance with Clark and, of course,
his name appearing on the back of
the check was a forgery.
The matter was at once placed in
the hands of the police and is now
being steadily pushed. They traced
Morriss' stay here and learned that he
departed Monday afternoon or the
Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley rail-
road.
The bogus check was dated Rich
mOnd, Va, July 10, and was properly
equipped with the revenue stamp.

WAS 1T A BLOCK.HOUSE
The Ruins on the Road to Scots Hill
Probably Defense Of the Early Set
tiers Against the TuscarOra indians

A few years ago, a freShet uncover
ed the remains of brick walls and a
vault on the road between Whining
ton and SCOTS Hill. Much speculation
was INDUCED in as to what the ruins
were, but soon the matter was drop
ped.
A gentleman who delves into such
those Of a block house built by the
early settlers to protect themselves
against the Warlike n predatory
Tuscarora indians who inhabited
Eastern North Carolina and frequent
ly laid waste the settlements by fire
and murdered the %colonists. He says
one of these block houses was located
in Wilmington, n that they were
located every five miles on the high
ways leading from one settlement to
there was one or more block houses
on the road between here and Scots
Hill.
The c%olonists were always on the
lookout for incursions from hostile
bands of Indians, and the early set
tiers had a thorough system of pick
citing n signals. When Indians ap-
preached, the women and children
were gathered into the block houses
for safety, and the men would fight
the Indians off or finally make a
STAN themselves in the block houses.
Couriers always rode rapidly from one
block house to another, warning the
settlers of the approach of the Red
Devils" as they were called. Many
of these couriers were killed in
going or returning from their haz-
ardous mission, yet there were always
found brave n true men who never
f1inched in the fac of their duty to
their wives and families and the COM
munity in general.
The Croatans, of whom there are
about 5000 along the Carolina Cen
trail, mostly in Robson county, are
said to- be a branch of the Tuscaroras.
The Tuscaroras were divided into nu-
merous nations" Several of these
nations inhabited the vicinity of
Wilmington, viz, the Burgaws, the
WaccamawS, etc.
