SPARTANBURG. S. c.. August %
The flood situation in this country has
greatly improved during the last thirty
six hours. All danger to the twenty or
more big cotton mills along the river is
passed.
Several mills have been forced to shut
down on account Of dams and races being
washed away. There has been no loss of
life in this section.

Women Wear Overalls.

4 woman can wear overalls any old
time in the State Of Arkansas and not
violate any Of the laws, providing that
she does not attempt to disguise her
self as a man.
This, according to Little Rock dis
patch, is the gist Of a decision handed
down by Attorney General Kirby, at
the behest of woman inquirers. Kirby,
1t is said. admitted in his opinion that
the wearing of overalls by women
might be desirable at times. but hoped
that it may not become general pre-
vailing style.
But there is lot of uneasiness all
over Arkansas, from the hotel rotundas
of the cities to the front porches of
cross-road stores. For it is feared
that, in view Of the decision, won
ems rights" leagues may be started
and the members urged to wear over
alls If they care to.

consists in different models of one or

''At the rear, balancing the machine
and as near the center as possible, are
two propellers. Below the frame work
and toward the rear is a skid, similar
to the runners Of sleds. This is used
for landing and differs in this par

"The Wright machine weighs aboui
800 pounds, and in addition to its own
weight, including a four-cylinder mo-
tor of between twenty-five and thirty

machine 300 miles. It can carry
enough fuel with one man aboard to
travel 500 miles"

The Crows.

The Crows.
Faithful friends of the white man.
comrades of the pioneer and the soldier
In battle with the Sioux and the Chey-
enne, the Crow, or Absarake, are now
passing from the face of the eartL al
most forgotten. The tribe inhalits a
splendid reservation in southern Mon
tana, and the whites are striving to
open it for settlement, which causes
protest from the Crows-a protest
which will go unheeded. Gratitude for
past favOrs done should protect the
Absarake to-day, but when did the
white man show gratitude to the Indian
who owned good lands?
The Crow, according to some eth
nologiSts, are of the Shoshoni race,
while others classify them as branch
OF the Dakota. They are probably a
mixture of the two races, crystallized
into compact tribe by the exigencies
Of war and the pressure of powerful
enemies. 1t is doubtful If they ever
numbered more than 1850 souls-that
was an estimate placed on them by
Catlfn seventy years ago-and they now
total about 100. The decrease among
them has been greater in time of peace
than when they were at war. In 1884
they numbered 1926; this number fell
to 2,456 in 1888. and has now shrunk to
about 1,72O. Consumption is mainly re-
sponsible for the immense death rate of
the tribe.
The Crows are of great stature, and
proud, yet courteous bearing. AS war
riors, they ranked high among the
tribes, and, for their small number, did
splendid fighting against the Sioux,
Cheyenne and Blackfoot. Their Mon
tana hunting range was one of the rich
est in the country, and the Absarake
managed to hold it despite the ceaseless
attacks Of far more numerous foes.
FrGm the first arrival of the white
man, the Grow nation was the new
comer's friend. The Grow warriors
fought in countless battles with the
prairie terrors, and it was Crow who
alone escaped from the slaughter of the
Custer massacre.
OF late years the Absarake have tax
en- great interest in farming, stock rails
ing and irrigation. They are fast &C
quiring civilization, but are dying 80
rapidly that only few Of them Will be
left in another generation.
