Attempted Suicide--Woman
Cuts Her Own Throat.
Waxhaw Enterprise:

Waxhaw Enterprise:
Mrs. Taylor Baker, a well
known lady of the Indian Trail
neighborhood, made an attemp,
to end her own life last Sunda,
by cutting her throat with a
knife. Mrs. Baker has been ir
ill health for several months and
the theory is that she became
demented on account of broodins
over her illness. The cash inflict
ed by her own nand extends from
underneath the right ear, around
the throat, barely missing the
Jugular vein. When the unfor
tunate woman was found, blood
was flowing freely from the ghast
ly wound and it was feared she
would bleed to death before
medical assistance could arrive.
DIR. II. N. Reid, who lives only q
short distance from the Baker
home, was summoned and h,
reached the woman's bedside in
time to save her life.

The Catawba Indians
To Bring Suit against the
State--Claims that t h e
Legislature Broke Faith
with Them.
Columbia Record.

The Catawba indians will
bring suit against the state of
South Carolina for the land
claimed to have been taken from
them several decades ago. Be
fore the suit is brought, however,
memorial will be presented to
the Legislature setting forth their
complaints and praying for the
appointment of a commission to
hear them. Mr.. w. S. Partlow,
Washington attorney, has been
retained by the Indians and he
called on the secretary of the
state historical commission today
for data covering his case. Mr..
Partlow represented the six
tribes of New York state in a
similar suit and succeeded in re-
covering several hundred thous-
and dollars from the state of New
York on account of Indian
claims.
The Catawba Indians claims
are rather complicated. 1t is
said that in 1910 the state legis.
lature agreed to give the awba
Indians suitable compensation for
the land belonging to them and
unlawfully taken by the white set
tiers. The legislature also agreed
TO give the tribe ST., 500 a year.
In less than two years the state
violated its agreement as to the
annual appropriation and reduc
ell it. The state also broke faith
regarding the settlement of the
land claims of the tribe and
with characteristic Indifference
to moral obligations ignored all
offers of settlement. This has
been one of the distinct features
of the South Carolina legislature,
notably in the Lord bond case
and the claim of Black against
the state for settlement of the
English war claims. The fact
that this body generally ignores
moral obligations has much to do
with the market value of state
bonds now in the market. The
suit brought by the Catawba
tribe, if a suit is brought, will be
in the United States courts.
