Charleston and Anderson will

The farmers of Sumter county are
evidently in earnest and will mater

Reports from all sections of the coun-
ty are that they are organizing and
are with practical unaminity sign

Orleans convention. If the movement
is as unanimous in other States the
farmers will control the situation
this fall and can dictate prices. Ii

The fate of the Statehood bill bas
been practically sealed under the spur
OF the party whip and lash in the
Honse. Speaker Cannon has had his
way. and rule has been adopted in
caucus providing that the House shall
insist on its original bill which COM
bined Arizona and Indian Territory
in one State. In the opinion of the
Senate leaders such bill has little
or no show to pass that body and the
prospects ale that all of the proposed
States will remain without the Union
for at least another year aud that the
tedious light for statehood will have to
be renewed and foughtagain in another
session of Congress. In some respects
the decision of the House is disap-
pointment to members of the Senate,
even those who opposed separate state
hood for New Mexico. because they
hoped to create a State out of Okla
hom and Indian Territory at this ses-
sion of Congress. In the Rpublican
caucus there we're thirty-three Repub-
licaus who opposed the attitude of the
Republican leaders but the majority
has ceased to rule in the lower branch
of Congress which is dominated by a

Withtheuse Of chemically pure gIycer-

employed.
Besides the glyCerine, of itself, pos

WEST INDIAN CARIBS'
BUT FEW REMAIN OF THIS ONE
wARLIKE PEOPLE.
Waged Incessant Warfare on Span
ish, French and English in Turn
Survivors Living in Is
land of Dominica.

The Indians are not the only Ameri-
can aborigines that are rapidly disap-
pearing. The West Indian Carib, the
first people seen by Columbus when he
landed in the new world, have practi-
cally disappeared, only a small number
of them, scarcely 100, still remain in
the island of Dominica. There they are
under government protection and live
their primitive life on a government
reservation.
The Caribs were at one time n Of
the most warlike races in the western
hemisphere. They were more blood
thirsty, If possible, than any of the
North American Indian tribes, and in
turn waged incessant warfare upon
Spanish, French and English, as one
after another laid claim to and at
tempted to govern the islands.
Previous to the eruptions of Morne
Pelee and the Souffriere Of st. Vincent
there was another small band of Caribs
in the latter island; all of these, how
ever, were destroyed by the eruptions.
OF the Dominican Caribs only about
one-half are OF pure blood, or SO nearly
pure that no trace of negro blood is
discernible. The others are greatly
mixed, and it is difficult to determine
where negro leaves off and Carib be-
gins.
In appearance the Caribs are rather
short and thickset, with yellowish or
coppery olive skin. stiff, straight, blue
black hair and oval faces with distinct
ly Monaghan features. They are quiet
almost to taciturnity, Industrious and
peaceable, but, like Poor Lo." every
where have an inveterate fondness for
strong drink, and also possess another
unfortunate Indian failing, being in
corrigible thieves. They profess the
Catholic religion, dress in civilized
clothes, and dwell in neatly made but
primitive houses of mud, daubed cane
or waffle. matched with pandanus or
palm leaves.
Few, if any, of their members now
speak the Carib tongue. but many pos
sess a limited knowledge of Carib
words. Strangely enough, the Carib
language lad two distinct forms. one
of which was confined to the use Of
the women, the other to the men. This
state of affairs was doubtless due to
the fact already mentioned that their
wives were captured from other tribes.
Their numeral system was also rather
remarkable; they were unable to count
numerically above five. The word for
five was the same as for hand" Ten
was two hands" or half a man." Is
a foot and two hands," and 20 "two
hands and two feet" or "a man." and
so on.
The Dominican Caribs are for the
most part agriculturists in a small
way, and cultivate little patches of
cacao, cane, yams, plantains, etc. Some

work as laborers on Nneighboring es-
tates, and many are fishermen.
Their fishing boats are particularly
Interesting, inasmuch as they have APP
p~arently been patterned from the ow-
er spath of the palm tree. In fact, the
boys use the natural spathes for toy
canoes. The real canoes are formed
from the trunk of the gommier tree,
followed out inside and spread open by
means of heated stones and hot water.
TO add greater freeboard to the shell a
plank is fastened to either gunwale and
the whole is strengthened by hand
hewed ribs and thwarts. These boats
arc used throughout the islands, not
only by the fishermen but as passenger
craft as well, and when larger and
more stoutly built are even used as
lighters in loading and discharging the
steamship cargOes.
For speed. seaworthiness and rough
usage these primitive craft have few. if
my, equals. 1t is no m sight
to see a fleet of these dugouts bobbing
about far out to sea laden to the gun
wales with huge albicore and dolphin,
and under a press of canvas far out of
proportion to the tiny vessels. AS row.
boats they are very fast, a good native
oarsman easily pulling five or six miles

the rough cobbles which form the
beaches of these islands.
