SOME indian
MOUNDS VISITED
RELICS VISITED BY THE HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENTS
MOUNDS ERECTED AGES AGO
It is Presumed That They Were Built
by Either Aztecs or Southern
Indians.
MOUNDS ERECTED AGES AGO

Last week the Junior modern his
tory class of the high school was
taken out by Professor Walter Davis
to Ballinger's Springs, three miles
east of town, to see the Indian
mound, which is located near the
springs and also to inspect the two
mounds on the Commons farm near
by. The students were greatly inter
ested In these mounds which We're
erected many hundreds of years ago
by strange race of men.
About fifteen years ago these
mounds Of earth were opened and
old war axes, brass beads and skele-
tons were taken out. The bones of
these prehistoric men and women
erumblad to ashes when exposed to
the air. 1t is the supposition of
Professor Davis that the mounds
We're built for either forts or places
to bury the dead, probably the latter
supposition being the correct one
The race that built them he thinks
We're either southern Indians or the
Aztecs of Mexico who were after
wards driven south or southwest by
the more fierce and warlike northern
tribes. It is also not generally
known that not more than seventy
five years ago there was an Indian
settlement near the springs, the col
ony numbering over five hundred
men, women and children. The gov
ernment took their lands from them
and they We're deported to the Indian
lands in the northwest. These In
dians are believed to have been eth
er Shawnees or Miamis.

Sycamore Valley school house, about
three miles east Of town, is situated

AGRICULTURAL
COURSE
TO BE INTRODUCED IN THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Superintendent COTTON
Intends To Have Children Learn
More About the Farm.

The state superintendent of public
instruction is trying to make the
schools more helpful to the country
by the introduction of course in
in the district and township high
schools. The education of the coun-
try boy and girl has been away
from the farm and toward the fac
tory and the city. "The study of
history and biography has created
ideals of greatness that find their ex-
preston i'll city life. The result has
been continual and constantly
increasing exodus of the most
thoughtful and enterprising young
men and youn" women Of our dis
trict schools to the city. The intro
duction of agriculture proposes to
make the farm the center Of interest
and to make all its industries. it's
economics and It's science the subject
Of thought and study Superintend-
ent Cotton says that while it is not
the province Of the schools to teach
the trades, it is their privileges and
duty to put the child in intelligent
touch with the life about him. He
says that it is not only legitimate but
the very best pedagogy to use all the
means at hand in educating the chill
dren. While the school can not offer
a complete course in agriculture.
they can offer cough to show the chill
dren the value Of knowledge of the
composition of the soil. of tillge. of
drainage. of irrigation. Of selecting
seed. of planting. etc, enough to IN

STATE KEfobLIOAN ooM
M1IIEh
AT TWO DOLLARS APIECE

TO defeat what lis is suspected to
be general plan Of the Democrats
In Indiana to prevent the negro from
voting this fall, thei Republican State
committee Saturday sent out a let
Ter Of warning to Republican county
chairmen notifying them OF the fact
that in some counties it has been dis
covered Democrats are taking re-
Ceipts from negroes and already pay
ing them money, the agreement be-
ing that the person signing the re-
ceipt shall vote the entire Demo-
cratic ticket this fall, but the inten-
ton being to use the receipts to dis
franchise the negro or frighten him
away from tie polls on election day.
The letter of the State committee is
based on affidavits received from
Alexandria, in which Mayor James
III. Edwards is charged in some cases
with paying 50 for signature to the
receipts and in others with asking
colored men to sign the receipts.
Vote Buying Not a Crime.
Tt is not crime in Indiana to buy
a vote, although it is IA crime to sell
a vote. The result Of this law is that
the men that buy votes are able to
put under their power the. men who
sell them.
In Greene county. two years ago,
fifty men were disfranchised by a
process similar 10 that alleged to
have been pursued in Alexandria.
They sold their votes and signed re-
celpts and this wear it is said that
the receipts are still being held over
their heads. In Morgan county and
IN Spencer county more than fifty
men are disfranchised because of the
signing of receipts two Years ago,
and III several other counties the re-
ceipt scheme. was worked effectively.
1t is said that thirty negroes of
Alexandria have already received
money and signed the receipts and
they are now greatly stirred up be-
cause they have discovered that their
act will probably keep them from
voting this year and perhaps for sew
eral years to come. if the men have
them disfranchised. If the matter
is not taken into the courts, the
signed receipts can still be used with
much effect in threat that prosecu-
tions will follow if the men that
signed them attempt to vote. 1t is
said that the Alexandria negroes,
much wrought up. are offering to pay
The money back and are demanding
the receipts.
Form of Printed Receipts.
Printed receipts are being used in
Madison county. The form. as re-
ceived by the Republican State COM
mittee, is as follows:
a qualified voter in
---- precinct, I'm --- township.
