the statement that distinct benefit has been noted
However this may be, it is an undisputed fact that
the natural tendency of the BODY is to throw off
disease OF any and all kinds. The point of this
article is that a comparison between the natural
life OF the Navajo Indians and the artificial lives
that we lead makes clear to the dulest eve the
immense extent to which artificial modes of
living responsible for the wide prevalence of
disease among us.
The Navajos physically fine race thew are
symmetrical IN form, powerful, and possess great
endurance. Among them disease is practically
unknown-that is, 1t was almost unknown until con-
tact with the whites and the white mans vices in
the way of Incorporate living brought to them the
white mans diseases. They occupy, on their
sixteen thousand square miles of reservation in
the northeastern corner of Arizona and north
western corner of New-M Mexico territory in which
the extremes OF temperature, winter and summer
are well marked without being excessive. They
are the largest remaining tribe of the native Indians
Their intelligence is of high order.
g Their rug and blanket work on native looms
is too well-known to need comment and their
artistic native sllver-work has wide market
Many hundreds of them are employed as lahorers
along the line of the railway, seventy thousand
dollars having been paid out in a recent year
for Navajo labor by one contractor alone. As
laborers they unquestonably superior to Chinese
Mexican or Japanese.
Under these circumstances, it is not only lesson.
but an exceedingly sad lesson, that SO MANY of
them should be directly killed by conditions which
they do not need, do not want and cannot stand
viz. the white mans wholly unnatural way of
living. Consumption and pneumonia carry them

IHI in his alarm. He picked 1t up

along the pathway. So closely did he
now examine the ground that he hard

straight toward the wall of rock. The
distance was not g~reat-abOut forty

the mouth of Il cave. The six months
old growth of vegetation about the en-.
trance gave clear indication as to the
time which had elapsed since a human
foot last disturbed the solitude.
A few vigorous blows with the stick
cleared away obstructing plants and
leafy branches. The sailor stopped and
looked into the cavern, for the opening
was barely five feet high. He per
ceived instantly that the excavation
was mans handiwork applied to n
fault In he hard rock. A sort OF nat
ural shaft existed, and this had been
extended by manual labor. Beyond
the entrance the cave became more
lofty. Owing to its position with ref

imagined that sufficient light would
be obtainable when the tropical luxu-
rance Of foliage outside was dispensed

The Eutawville Case.

The five white men charged with
murderin G d negro, keltt Bookard,
taking him ont of the guard house
at Eutawville, where he had been
confined on Il trivial charge, and
throwing him into the river, were
tried in Oraageburg last week and
acquitted by the jury after fifteen
minutes consideration of the case.
The Grim" was Il cruel, cowardly
one and strong evidence was ad-
duccd against the defendants, one
of whom had turned State 's-evidence.
The verdict of the Orangeburg Jury
Is not surprising. Several years
ago, if we remember Alright, in this
same county suit Was brought for
d ages on acco t o t
the lynching of Il negro who
was found hanging to Il telegraph
pole with his hands tied behind his
back and his body rddled with bull
lets. Two or three times the case
was brought to trial and each time
the jury found verdict for the de-
fendant, on the ground that the I'D
gro had committed suicide.
If there ever be circumstance ces
when mob violence may be condoned
they did not obtain in the Eutaw-
vile case, and as long as the perpe
traitors of such deeds escape un-
whipt of justice, just so long will
South Carolina bear the reputation
of lawlessness and blood outlines,

what this aggregation of erudite

never been clearly explained to the
initiated. Hoping to be enlighten-
ed We read carefully Mr. Ogden's
address before the so.called "Con-
ference for Education" but that
astute gentleman appeared to be oc-
cupied in telling what the Ogdentes
were not going to do rather than
what they intend doing. Couched

With all the complaints that
have been made about the public
roads We believe, from what We have
seen of them, that they are now in
better condition generally than ever
before within our recollection. Thele
has been a great deal of rain lately
and mud-holes and wash-outs are
the natural consequence, but every
where we have been evidence of ina
-pfovement is apparent; and with the
limited amount cf money at their
disposal Supervisor Graham and the
commissioners are deserving of COM
mendation for the good wolk that

in mind that Williamsburg is u very
large county and to work all the
roads at the same time is an impos-
slbility.
