RELIC OF THE CATAWBAS.

During a visit to Yorkville last Mon
day, Mr.. r. 8. Terrence, who lives In
Fort Mill township, near Wright's Fer
nv, showed the reporter some relics OF
the Catawba Indians, which came In
to his possession under rather peculiar
circumstances.
The relics consisted Of a small yell
lowish pot about three inches deep and
five inches across, Of undoubted Indian
manufacture, and some large teeth
apparently of some wild animal, that
was evidently of large size. The pot
and teeth, Mr.. Terrence explained, were
found within about hundred yards OF
Catawba river, and about ten feet un-
der the surface Of the earth. They
were unearthed in the cutting of deep
ditch. The ditchers also found the re-
mains Of some charred embers and
some blackened flint rocks that had
evidently been used about camp fire
How the pot and teeth, etc., came
originally to the spot where they were
found, is of course, only matter OF
conjecture; but according to Mr.. Tor
rence's idea, the place was once
camping ground Of the Indians, and
filling up of the earth over the place
has been the process of years OF de:
posits left by freshets in the river.

CALLS 1T MURDER.

Rev. B. H. Grier preached an able
sermon to his congregation In the AS
sociated Reformed church last Sunday
morning. He took his text from Exc
dus Xxx, 13: ''Thou shalt do no murder
and his theme was "The Sacredness OF
Human Life" Most Of the sermon was
devoted to a discussion Of the awful
responsibility that devolves upon ma
tions as we'll as individuals through
the direct taking Of human life; but In
his conclusion Mr.. Grier applied to the
text what he calls the moral murder
of children for gain. His remarks along
this line were as follows:
But lastly, there is an application
of The commandment in another sphere.
There are forms Of oppression and
cruelty and harsh treatment, not named
murder because we cannot detect the
hand that strikes the blow, that are
none the less a violation Of the COM
mand in the sight of heaven. Child
rem employed to work all night In cot
ton mills-little tots that have to stand
on stools to reach their machines-in
order to earn money for dividends, are
dying a slow death, and somewhere
there Is the hand that commits muir
der. It may be the parent that sits In
sloth smoking his pipe about his cot
tage door; it may be the employer who
allows such child labor in his mill; or
it may be the state, that fails to come
in between greed and sloth and parent
al folly to- protect the slaughter of the
innocents. Be assured that If our law
makers are unwilling to enact laws to
apply to the wrong-doers, or If our
laws are too feeble to detect the mis-
chief, this keen, swift Word Of God
traces every murderer to his home. And
he who hears the cry Of his children
will call somebody to account!
But finally. for us, brethren, all an
ger and ill-will is a violation Of this
commandment, 'Whosover Is angry
with his brother without cause, shall
be in danger of the judgment. Whoso-
ever shall say to his brother Raca,
shall be In danger of the council; but
whosoever shall say thou fool. shall be
in danger of hell-fire,: and the only
way we can keep this commandment
perfectly is to let infinite love rule In
our hearts, and keep us at peace with
all men,"

OF F. H. BROWN.

Mr.. Frank H. Brown, one Of the best
known and most prominent citizens OF
Ebenezer township, died at his home,
two miles east of Tirzah, Saturday af-
ternoon at o'clock, and was buried
at Ebenezer on Sunday.
Mr.. Brown was born in Lincoln coun-
ty, N. c., in 1927. His father was Rev.
Absalom Brown, Of that county. He
removed to York county about 1854,
and settled in the Tirzah neighborhood,
in which he continued to reside until
his death. He was tanner by trade.
and it was for the purpose Of engag-
ing in the tanning business that he
came to this section. Being a man of
industrious and thrifty habits he early
began to lay up competency. During
the war he made shoes. After the war
he began to buy land and devoted him
self to cotton raising. At one time,
along in the late seventies, he owned
about 5000 acres of unencumbered
land, and was probably the most ex-
tensive cotton planter in York county.
With the decline in the price of cotton,
however, and changing agricultural
conditions, Mr.. Brown met the COM
mon experience of cotton planters. and
began to get behind.
Mr.. Brown had few educational ad-
vantages in early life. He was a man,
however, of sterling integrity. He de-
voted himself entirely to his own busi-
ness and gave but little attention to
politics, or other distractions. At home
he lived in ease and comfort, INDUCED
his family, and treated his guests with
the most perfect hospitality. His per-
sonal habits were exceptionally good,
and all his life he practiced the strict
est temperance as to both eating and
drinking. He continued an industrious
and persistent worker up to the time
of the failure of his health.
Mr.. Brown had been in bad health
for several years past; but the Illness,
that was the immediate cause of his
death lasted only about ten days or
