Indian Relics.
Fort Mill Times: After noting the
item in The Times Of last Wednesday
concerning the finding Of an Indian
skeleton, ETC., near the river, the Rock
Hill Herald adds: "The bones in ques-
tion were uncovered by the great fresh
ct Of last year, but were not discovered
until January Of this year. They were
found on the farms Of Messrs. David
and William Boyd, in Mecklenburg
county, near Wright's ferry, and along
the Catawba river. They are evidently
those Of Indians who had been inferred
on the bottoms and are specimens of
hundreds Of others to be seen there.
The beads had undoubtedly been bur-
led in the graves Of the Indians. Mr..
w. H. Wylie secured 466, Of several COL
ors, but the majority are Of blueish
shade. Some are Of redish brown; 9TH
ers black with red stripes and blue
with white stripes. They are of glass,
chalk and bone. The two former kinds
are supposed to be Of English and
French make, and were traded to the
Indians for their lands and furS, and
for animals caught in their traps. The
specimens secured by Mr.. Wylie are in
good shape of preservation, except some
of the glass beads show signs Of disin-
tegration. It is evident that they were
under ground since that far-of time
when the Catawbas roamed these re-
gions-the mighty monarchs Of all their
surroundings.

Prospects at winthrop.
Rock Hill special Of Wednesday to
the Columbia State: President john
y.,~&l
bride Sunday night after a three weeks
tour Of northern cities and resorts. The
number Of applications for dormitory
accommodations at winthrop this year
is larger than ever before, there being
up to this date 724, not including the
residents of this city. When they are
added the number will reach $50 or
more. The dormitory accommodation
being for 400 pupils it is very evident
that all cannot secure entrance. TO
somewhat remedy this the authorities
on a certain date sent a set of exam1na-
ton questions to the superintendent OF
education in each county, and those ap-
plying for admission to Winthrop had
to come up to certain requirements. In
this way the best material of our state
Is secured. The faculty is complete,
and is an aggregation Of skilled special
lists. The new members are: Miss EliZ-
