Montana has a Democratic legisla-
ture, and Senator Clark will be return
ed with unquestioned credentials.
Nebraska and Kansas are still in
doubt. One Of the most significant
results of Tuesdays election, was a de-
cline Of the rate on commercial money
in New York from to per cent. "A
Washington dispatch says that the
United States will ask Great Britain to
suppress the Filipino junta in Hong
Kong. :. All the large sugar refining
companies have made a reduction of Is

the Transvaal, is expected to arrive in
Marseilles, France, on November IT,.
Election returns were distributed
throughout Cuba last Tuesday night
within an hour after their receipt in
New York. .... Congressman Lentz, of
Ohio, is in a pretty tight place. The
unofficial returns show that he has
beaten his opponent by only 7 votes
and the official returns may lose him
his seat. The home county Of Chair
man Jones, Of the Democratic national
executive committee, was carried by
the Republican candidate for congress.

THE CATAwBA INDIANS.

THE ENQUIRER has received from the
author, Albert 8. Gatschet, Of Wash
ington, grammatical sketch Of the Ca
tawba language. It Is included In a
pamphlet Of 25 pages; but Of rather
doubtful value to any except such as
may be concerned in 1t purely from mo-
tives of curiosity. We do not know
certainly, but from such information
as we have, the language is now entire
ly extinct, notwithstanding the asser-
ton that mot one-third of the Cataw-
ba population speak their own lam
guage or know anything about It." Mr..
Gatschet's Introductory note gives
some information. It is as follows:
''The remnant Of the Catawba In
dams resides in York county, South
Carolina. This county borders on the
state Of North Carolina and Is divided
in two parts by Catawba river, which
flows In southerly direction and later
becomes known as the Wateree and the
Santee.
"At the time Of the writer's visit, in
1881, about IS Catawba Indians were
living in York county. and about 40
more were engaged In farming In North
Carolina, especially in Mecklenburg
county. They are peaceable and quiet
people, but without ambition or q man
Hesitation Of the spirit Of progressive
ness For many years they have been
slowly adopting the white mans ways,
so that now probably not one-thrd OF
the population speak their native Ian
guage or indeed know anything Of 1t.
In 1S41 they ceded the area Of their res
ervation, about 15 miles square, to the
state government, receiving. an annuity
in lieu thereof. They now retain only
the square mile Of land on which they
reside and by means of which they
gain a. livelihood.
During, the early historical period.
the Catawbas formed part Of an extern
sive confederacy Of twenty or more
tribes. They were distinguished for
their warlike qualities, sometimes swag-
ing war at great distances from home.
A profusion Of historical documents
testifies to their prowess In. war; but
thus far no one has attempted to as
semble this information in the form OF
a history"

NOTES FROM OGDEN,
More Wheat, Better Put ln--.Cotton All Pick.
ed...Mr. Conrad Getting Along HleeIy...The
School 0pening. .-.0ther Notes.

Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
OGDEN, November GA good rain
fell in this section Saturday and Sum
day morning. It will be benefit to
small grain that Is up and bring up
any that is not up. There has been a
great deal Of wheat and oats sown, and
q great many are not yet done sowing
wheat. I think there will, be equally
as much, and probably more, grain,
sown here than was sown last fall. It
Is being put in better too. The land IL
being we'll prepared in most cases.
Some are using drills and manuring
with acid, etc. ~
Cotton picking is about over, and the
most Of 1t has been sold. Those who
still have a little on hand are not will
ing to sell at the present price. They
want 10 cents and will hold it until
next spring unless they get their price
before that time.
b<The new ginnery at Ogden, under the
management Of Mr.. G. D. Pearson, has
done a very good business this fall.
They have one 70-saw and one 60-saw
gin. Only one gin was put in at first;
but the amount of cotton that was
brought to the gin made It necessary to
Isetanother.
/Mr. r. E. Conrad, who had his hand
badly lacerated in the gin at this place,
has been up and about again for some
time; but still carries his hand in a
sling. He thinks he will have the prop
ar usa of his hand when II gets entirely
well. -
Owing to the weather being 80 dry
all fall, the turnip crop will be almost
complete failure in this section.
Oak Grove school opened today. Miss
Susie Brian Of Yorkville, is teacher.
Antioch school will start up soon with
Miss Lillian Milhollen in charge. ]. K.
Scoggins will teach Hickory Grove
school. It will open next Monday.
Arrangements are being made for
ceiling and doing any other necessary
repair work on Antioch and Hickory
Grove school houses:
The election passed off quietly at
Antioch today. Very little interest
seemed to be manifested. Only 72 votes
were cast.

THE cATAwBA BRIDGE.

The substantial bridge recently COM
pleted by the county commissioners
over Catawba river, has already proved
It's usefulness.
The river was up during two or three
days of last week, and all Of the ferries
from the North Carolina line down,
were useless. There was no place to
cross except at the bridge, and by which
the travellers who really had to travel,
went.
Several travellers presented them
selves at Wright's ferry for transpor-
tation across the river; but 1t was no
good. It was the same at Dinkins's fer
ry. Mr.. Dinkins tried to take his boat
across the river on Thursday. A big
log struck it and broke the cable
loose. The boat f1oated down the river
and it was not until 1t reached point
near the Southern railroad bridge that
a landing could be effected.
Supervisor Culp called the attention
Of the writer few days ago to cir
cumstance that may be of some In
terest. One Of the first travellers who
was compelled to make use OF the
bridge was Mr.. Howard, Of Hickory
Grove. He was caught on the other
side of the river and had he been de-
pendent upon the ferries would have
been delayed from 36 to 4S hours. The
circumstance is interesting, because OF
the fact that the only opposition that
ever developed against the bridge, and
which opposition, it is pleasant to note,
has long since been dissipated, orig1na-
ted in the Hickory Grove neighborhood.
The chaingang is now at work laying
out a road to the bridge and building
some embankments where they are
needed. Supervisor Culp was there
for several hours Monday directing the
work and he says that during his stay
no less than rs persons crossed the riv-
er on the bridge.
1t is evident that the building Of the
bridge has been a great step forward.
especially for the people Of Fort Mil
and Ebenezer townships, and there Is
reason to believe that the county as a
whole will always have occasion for
satisfaction over the completion of this
important work.

THERE Is talk Of reorganization OF
the Democratic party on lines followed
by Cleveland, Don M Dickinson, w. G.
Whitney and others. It is stated that
these men had signed their name to a
call before the election Of last Tuesday,
which call is to be issued within a few
days. The proposition does not meet
the approval of the men who have all
along been fighting with the party.
For instance, Clark Howell says: IF
reform is needed. 1t can come from
within; but 1t cannot be forced from
without" Mr.. Howell is about right
on that proposition.

MCENDIARY FIRE.

Mrs. wh. McGill's barn, located
three miles east Of Hickory Grove, was
destroyed by HIRE last Tuesday night at
about 10 o'clock, under circumstances
that strongly point to probable incen-
diarism.
The fire had made considerable head
way before it was discovered. 1t was
then too late to extinguish the flames.
There were not sufficient means at
hand. The contents went with the
building.
Along with a big supply Of fodder,
hay and other stock feed, and some

questions of the day. Those questions
are for future discussion, however; all
1 say now is what T have said many
times before, that the Democratic par
ty must be affirmative and progressive
as we'll as aggressive. Mr.. Bryan made
a great fight. He is one of the most
remarkable men of history. He may
never be president; but whether in pol
itics or private life no man will hold
a more commanding place, and none
will be capable Of exerting a greater
influence for public good. May God
bless him."

quantity Of spirits ever gauged in this

THE defeat Of Mr.. Bryan for the pres
idency was followed by the hope that
he would be elected to the United
States senate from Nebraska. But this
hope has been dissipated. In a dis
patch to the New York Journal, Thurs
day, Mr.. Bryan says: you may say,
officially, that under no circumstan-
ces will I accept the Office Of United
States senator, even If it were tender

dency and I lost. 7 am not going to

On Thursday, at noon, Mr.. Bryan
sent the following telegram to Presi-
dent Mckinley: "At the close Of anoth-
er presidential campaign it is my lot
to congratulate you upon a second vic
tory" Mr.. Bryan did the same thing
four years ago. He Is the only presi-
Dental candidate who has ever been
known to congratulate his successful
opponent.
