BRITAIN SEEKS JUSTICE
FOR MOSQUITO INDIANS

Revival of the trouble between Great
Britain and Nicaragua concerning the
Mosquito coast is threatened by the
complaints of Mosquito Indians that
Nicaragua has failed 10 respect their
rights
Under the treaty with Great Britain
i'm 1860. called the Zeledon-Wyke treaty.
Great Britain brought its protectorate
over the land of the Mosquito Indians
10 an end on condition that Nicaragua
treat the Indians with justice and con-
siderdtiOn.
Recently a number of the Indians
made complaint in Jamaica that they
had been mistreated. Great Britain
sent the warship RetnbutiOn TO the seat
Of the trouble. and has assured the
State Department that its only purpose
in doing So is To hold Nicaragua To It's
pledge 10 deal justly with the Indians
who were formerly under British pro
lection.

gan Sunday with u sermon by Rev.
Henry Covington Of Sumter, at the
Methodist church, which was q
gem, and the church wouldn't hold

him.

been grand success, and heartily
enjoyed by everybody, but for the
introduction of Il new feature-one

totally uncalled for, entirely un-
necessary, and wicked in its con-
ception-issuing reserved or rather
preferred tickets, while the patrons
of the school and tax supporters of
the school had to stand up or leave.
No wonder it provoked contempt
and disgust for the Supt. of the
school and caused a case before the
