Relics From Indian Mounds.

Relics From Indian Mounds.
Mr.. James M. Rhett, Of Beaufort,
wha has just returned from Lemon Is
land, gives an interesting account of
some relics of the Mound Builders
which were shown him by Mr.. Lepine
S. Rice, who lives on the island.
There is an Indian mound on Mr..
Rice's plantation measuring 15x15x5
feet high, and it is only partially e1-
cavated.
Quite recently Mr.. Rice found the
articles displayed to Inspector Rhett.
Perhaps the most interesting relic OF
the group was an earthenware pot or
vessel measuring II 1-2 inches deep by
II 3-4 inches across the top. 1t is egg
or pear shaped and was so constructed
that 1t balanced itself perfectly, al
though the 6sslE fat surface about it
was at It's top. -
The most wonderful feature about
this relic of lost race was the fact
that It's sides and bottom were only
three-sixteenths of an inch thick, and
this measurement was perfectly uni
form throughout. The only attempt at
decoration was around the top, where
the clay was indented at regular in
tervals, giving a simple, artistic ef-
feet. The chief attraction about the
pot was its perfect symmetry, which
compared very favorably with that Of
any modern pottery.
A tobacco pipe, similar in shape to
the pot, FIVE or six flint arrow heads
and portions Of human skull COM
pleted the articles in Mr.. Rice's pos
session.
The human remains were found be-
meath the pot, which, in an inverted
position, completely covered the de-
cayed skull.
MIR. Rice appeared oblivious to the
fact that his mound may prove verit-
able gold mine to him If scientists
can be interested and the work of ex-
cavating be continued under their d.
rection.
