FACTS FOR SICK WoMEN,
Remarkable Votes in Prohibition
Election.

Statesvllle Landmark.
The few votes cast against
prohibition in many localities in
the State attracted attention. In
Yancey county, for instance, on
ly ten votes were cast against
prohibition. But when we re-
member that the criminal record
OF Madison county was until re-
Gently about the worst in the
State-and they're still rather
handy with their shootin' irons in
Madison-the story that comes
from there staggers credulity.
Unlike Mitchell county, which
has had prohibition for many
years, liquor is sold in Madison
from a dispensary at Marshall.
And yet in the township of Mar
shall, where the dispensary is To-
Gated, $40 votes were cast for
prohibition and not vote
against it; and in two other town.
ships in Madison not single vote
was cast against prohibition.
This is a remarkable vote for
Madison and is the more remark
able in Marshall township, where
Whiskey is sold.

as negroes, and when the civil
war came along wanted to go to
the front and fight but instead
was put at work building forts
near Wilmington. This he could
not endure and so he made his
escape, returned to his home i'll
Robson and was there taken by
some troops and shot. Henry
Berry Lowery, his son, sWore a
most awful oath that he would
avenge himself on all the men
concerned in this killing of his
father. DR.. Dixon was told that
he took his revenge on all except
one, and it seems, from what can
be gathered, that he gave notice
before hand, in some sort of
fashion. Rhoda would not speak
about these things herself, but
talked about her house and said
it had been burned twice within
about year. She told who had
burned it, people living not far
away, against whom she had tes-
titled in cases before the Federal
Court at Wilmington, she having
sworn that she had seen them
hauling Whiskey past her house.
The house and all its contents
were burned in each case. When
the last fire occurred she was in
Mississippi, visiting one Of her
children. In the rear of the
house were two or three of her
grandchildren, little girls of 8 or
| 9 years, with supurb eyes and
wonderfully handsome hair. The
little girls were washing clothes,
and Rhoda said she had brought
them with her from Mississippi.
She has several acres of ground
and said she raisded on this ev-
erything she needed. We want.
ed to take her picture, but she
declared she was not dressed fOl
it and would be at the commence
ment exercises next day at the
school and said that then it coulC
be taken, but she was not pres
ent and so that was missed.

For a Sprained Ankle.

AS usually treated, a sprained
ankle will disable the injured per-
son for a month or more, but by
applying Chamberlain's Liniment
and observing the directions with
each bottle faithfully, a cure may
be effected in many cases in less
than one weeks time. This lin
iment is a most remarkable prep
aration. Try it for a sprain or
bruise, or when laid up with
chronic or muscular rheumatism,
and you are certain to be delight
ed with the prompt relief which
it affords. For sale by all drug
gists.

preserved themselves as a peo-
pie, in veiW of the fact that the
Of 1885, which took
away from everybody except the
whites the right to vote, had put
them beyond tie pales and made
them virtually Ishmaelites. 1t
was very frankly said by some
representative white men that
under such conditions no race
could have preserved its purity
better than the Croatans. There
are people, some even in Robson
county perhaps, who speak of
the Croatans as if they were ne
groes, but never was there any,
thing further from the truth.
There has been a little amalga-
nation with negroes, but | was
assured it was trifling, and had
not existed at all since these peo-
pie had been given their status.
THE INDIAN TRAITS.
They have the Indians traits of
suspicionandof ofrevenge. Ihadbeen
among the Indians in western
North Carolina andStanding there
amidstthese people, could not help
thinking that if they could pay
visit to their Cherokee brethren
they would be greeted as of their
very own people. Yet as a race
they know nothing about the
Cherokees. Cut off from every.
thing, for so many years, fOl
they had always voted up to 1885
they are entitled to wonderful
credit for what they have done
Now they all vote under the
grandfather clause" They
used to be largely Republicans
but are now mainly Democrats
In years past politicians sough
to use them.
1t is in language construction
that the teachers find the great
est trouble with them. The.
have so many old phrases ant
such old pronunciation of not
few words that a friend remark
ed that they talked almost exact
ly like people in some Englisl
countries. Upon the roll of tn
pupils in the schools were name
borne by the Roanoke colOrists
Mr.. LivermOre's books contain
many such. Assurances were Civ
en- that these people had made a
much relative improvement i
the past 25 years as any others i
their section of the State or ir
deed in any part of it, yet the
started at zero. Of course ther
is plenty of room for further i'm
provement. They are domesti
in their life and they need onl
two things, these being abster
ton from liquor and the cultivs
: ton of a higher standard of MOI
ais in home life. They have bee

evil purposes these many years.
This and their past treatment by
the whites have been the chief
difficulties in securing their con-
tidence. The lack Of relics and
of tradition among them is most
impressive, but yet what have
the Cherokees in western North
Carolina to show now of the old
days except what the burial
mounds contain? In the eastern
part of the State the Indians
have so faded away that they
are not even a memory, the last
remnant Of them haveing been in
Bertie county.
LOVE GAY CLOTHING.
Another Indian trait is the love
for bright clothing. l have seen
this in the West and also among
the North Carolina Cherokees
and among the Florida Semin-
oles. Red, blue and yellow are
the delight particularly of the
girls. The beauty Of the girls
was a subject Of general COM
ment, most having straight hair,
dense black, but in some cases
it curled gracefully.
In the old times these people
used to work a great deal in the
turpentine and lumber interests
but these have largely passed
away. The negroes do not like
the Croatans, as was discovered
by talking to the blacks. There
are very few negroes in the Gro
atan country. Superintendent
Edens, OF the normal school,
spoke Of the interest the Croa-
tan people had shown in the
work.
This has been a test year with
them. Ninety-one were enrolled
and they have met Captain Duck
EFT half way in his efforts to aid
I them. Superintendent Edens
said that no children he had ever

HOME OF RHODA LOWERY.
My artist and l walked up the
railroad a bit to the home of
Rhoda Lowery, the widow Of
Henry Berry LoWery, who, in
1870, was the terror of that part
of the State. Those were in the
old days when Maxton, now so
thriving a town and making such
brave show along the railway,
was but a struggling village and
was called Shoe Heel, Ia corrup-
ton of Quhele, it seems). Those
were the times when the Croa-
tan Indian settlement was known
as Scuffietown. That was a cor
ruption too, for in the long-ago
it was "Scoville Town." taking
its name from family of the
tribe which was prominent. We
found Rhoda in a brand new
house. a tiny affair, Just built,
out of the neighborhood pine,
and not ceiled or plastered. A
little girl came to the door and
presently Rhoda appeared, dres-
sed in very plain clothes, with a
: sunbonnet, but very neat, her
face bearing all the traces of the
good looks which mark so many
of these people. There was moi
a suggestion of age in her face,
! form or hair, and it seemed hare
l to realize that she had figured 3S
: years ago and must be we'll OF
1 toward 60. One would have
5 guessed something around 40 az
her age. She talked very free
l ly and when asked about her peo
: pie said her father was a Yankee

i latter being a family in Soutl

there was homespun of several
colors, some of it dyed with indi-
90, which has been raised on the
place for generations. We went
all through this Lowery home, in
one great room being four beds,
but the walls being quite open,
50 that there was plenty OF ven
tilation. Lowery said he was
kin to the Cherokees in this
State and that all his people
were; that he had known this
close kinship always and that
he had told the Cherokee and
Creek Indians, when he had
visited them in their own terri
tory about this, and that they
had received him we'll. He said
he had gone to the Territory the
wear of the shake" " by this
meaning in 1886, when the great
earthquake shocks were felt.
That was the year before the
Croatans were given citizenship.
Lowery said that most of the
Croatan houses were in the style
of his, but some double houses
were seen with rooms right and
left, and a broad open space be-
tween, all under one roof. Such
houses as these used to be COM
mon in the North Carolina noun
tains. In the big room OF his
home, which was the bedroom,
was very old man, who pres
emily shambled out into the porch
and seated himself in a chair or
the ground in front and in the
strong sunshine. This turned
out to be Solomon LOcklear, who
is 81 years of age. He was very
distinctly Indian in type. He
had very little to say, but smOk'
ed his pipe of clay and reed in
cessantly.
He like the other members Ot
the family, was dressed in home
made clothing. The remainder
grouped themselves about hin
and a picture was taken in which
he seemed to express some inter
est.

atans and with their white neigh
bors it was learned that they fel
