Of Magistrate Glenn Of Ebenezer town,
ship. te,
To Investigate the catawbas.
Columbia special to the News and
Courier: A complete investigation OF
the conditions of the Catawba Indian
| tribe, and OF the recent requests, made
by some of the leaders will be mads
for a report to the general assembly.
| It will be remembered that some time
ago Chief Harris cnrne before the gov
ernor and asked that the tribes be al
lowed to, go west and settle with the
other Indians. This Is matter, how
ever, that would have to be considered
by the general assembly. and the prop
osition Will have to come before that
body. The state now makes an appro-
priation OF $1,000 for tne support Of
the tribe, and according to Harris this
Is not enough for them to live on. 1t
may be Of interest to some to know
that the first contract made between
1 the Indians and the state was In 178tt
and that up to a few years ago they
re ceived about $4,000 a year from the
state. There was a tract OF land about
fourteen miles, which was owned by
the tribe, and the proposition accepted
by them was that the state was to
| make this annual appropriation OF
| 81, 1000 In lieu of the quit claim which
could be collected from the white peo-
pie who had settled on the reservation.
There are only "a few Of the full
blooded Indians left, and II Is very
probable that the state win accept
their proposition and allow them 10 go
west. One years appropriation would
pay the expenses Of the trip, and with
the aid of the Federal government
enough land could be obtained to allow
| them once more to follow the occupa-
ton of farming. At present they Go
very little work and are gradually dy-
Ing out.
