 For many years the pioneers lived in dread of the Indians and a mere rumor made them nervous, and inspired by such feelings many deeds of violence and cruel ty were perpetrated against the remnants left by war of the Indians, as, for in stance. the following: Tn September, in the year 1S1S a rumor was spread through the country and in Tuscaloosa that a band of Indians passing through had murdered a family named Hall, in the southern part of the county, or in the upper edge of Greene county. The citi- zens in terrible excitement gathered from every direction to organize Tor pursuit, and horses and arms being procured the party proceeded down the St. Stephens road (now known as the Greensboro road). They went down nearly to Big Sandy creek and there heard that the ln- dians had gone towards the river at what was later known as the Maxwell pianta- tion. Still pursuing, they heard that the Indians had crossed the river at what is called the gun-chute. They also crossed over and followed the trail to the h. dfans camp. about two and haH miles beyond On approaching the camp they saw smoke and slipped up cautiously ana fired volley into the camp. killing and wounding two or three Indian women and children The Indian men were all out hunting on Beech ridge, and when they returned were surprised to find that their women and children had been at tackled, as they were only peace1uily passing through the country.

the white men exchanged two or three
 rounds, when both parties retired rapidly
 in opposite directions. Next day the
 whites returned to look after the missing,
 and found one man dead, whom they
 buried on the spot, and another badly
 wounded. whom they brought to Tusca-
 loosa, where he died in a few days; and upon investigation 1t was found that
 these two white men had been shot by their own party in firing during the ex- citement of the attack on the camp in 1r- regular line. It is said, also, that these Indians were still pursued by other par ties to Sipsey swamp, and that their principal man. Spotted Chief. was killed.
 And all this trouble started from a false report and reveals how little mercy was
 shown to the Indians, whose native land
 was being appropriated by the white race"
 In 1885 and 1886 the last of the Indian tribes were removed from Alabama. In 1895 a large portion of the Creek Indians from beyond the Coosa river removed through Tuscaloosa, on their way to their new reservation in Arkansas, and were encamped there for some time, ac- companied by Apth-le-oholo, a chief of great distinction, being both prophet and chief, and who is said to have been a man of wonderful eloquence. He made no pretense of satisfaction at the removal of his people, and declared that he only went from imperative necessity, and that his heart was as heavy as lead, and the sun could never shine on any land as dear and beautiful to him as the one he was leaving. Just before the departure of himself and people from Tuscaloosa ] he said he felt that he was no longer chief and tore off his wampum war-belt as a mere trife for which he had no further use. Two or three years after ward it was purchased bk MT. Thomas Maxwell of Tuscaloosa, for the sum of $25, and in 1S4S he gave it to a friend in England, who now has it in his cabinet of curiosities. The father of Apoth-le- oholo was chief known to the Indians as Epha Tustanugga and to the whites as David Cornels. According to General Woodward he was the cause of more mischief among tho Creek Indians and

 next morning he would pay off his old debt and barter out the balance of his products for blankets and other goods, and then he would make his debt, 'an old hundred this time. meaning $1000. (The Creek Indian called d hundred by the name we do and a thousand an old hum dred) I answered that the times had changed; that the President had a mis- understanding with the British, govern ment, which might end In war. and so large a debt would be unwise in me to permit him to contract and very impru- dent in him to do so. He remarked that his friend, Tandy Walker, was a man of property and would be his security for one two old hundreds.
 T noticed that Walker was greatly troubled and was endeavoring to appear calm. I repeatedly assured the chief that ] could only let him have s100 worth of credit under existing circumstances, but he was not to be put off so readily and entered into an argument to overcome my seruples I told the chief that it was time to prepare for sleep and We would tell each other our dreams in the morn- Ing.

 '"rhe real name of the chief was Osee- che Emathla and his settlement was es- tablished in the year 1909, just 100 years ago. It was the scene of a great battle in 1913 between the Creeks and the Choc- taws, the latter tribe being friendly with the United States. The Choctaws by strategy drew the Creeks from the shelter , of their fort to dispute the passage of the i river, while another party of Choctaws, who had stealthily crossed the river, probably in the rear. got possession of the fort and utterly destroyed the settle ment, killing all except those who fled to the swamps below town; and when Col. David Crockett, in 1913. as part of General Coffee's command, came to destroy the town, it was found to be entirely desert ed by the Indians. This event is record ed by Col David Crockett in his life, as written by himself, on page S3, as fo3- lows. We pushed on til we got to what was called Black Warrior town, which stood near the very spot where Tusca- ioosa now stands. This Indian town was large one, but when we arrived we found that the Indians had all left 1t. There was large field of corn left stand ing out and a pretty good supply in some cribs There was also a quantity of dried beans which were very acceptable to us. and without delay we secured them, as well as the corn. and then burned the town to ashes. after which we left the place.
 The site of this Indian town is upon the left bank of the river, somewhat less than a mile from the wharf landing. Large quantities of Indian arrow heads. hatchets made of flint and stones for grinding of meal were found there. and

 You should be like radium.
 Only know this:
 fou are infinitely greater than radium. Because when you send out from your aura the rays of strength and brightness and healing you not only do not lose your power. but you gain power.
 Understand?
 One side of 1t is stated this way:
 ''To him that hath shall be given''- that is to say, if you have power or vir- tue and use 1t rightly you shall be given added power and virtue.
 And another side is stated this way:
 From him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath'- that is to say, if you have force of body or mind or spirit and you do not use it properly it shall be taken from you.
 The law itself is plain.
 And 1t is true not because it is in the Bible; it Is in the Bible because it Is true.

Have you health and hope?
 Where do they come from. and to whom do they belong? Do they belong to you and you alone?

 You got these qualities from the source of power and attractiveness, and they do not belong to you to give.
 If you do not share with your fellows, using your strength for helpfulness and your charm for virtues sake, do you inn agine you can keep these inner forces?
 It is impossible because it is opposed to the inherent nature of things.

Thirty-seven cars designed especially
for the carrying of fresh pineapples are
now under course of construction at the
carshops of the Oahu Railroad & and
Land Company, Master Carbuilder John
Hughes experimenting the work These
cars viii be of the finest type in exist
ence and win be a genuine credit to not
only the advanced plans of the builder,
but also to the enterprise of the COM
pany, which has realized the rapid
growth of this practically new industry
and is making preparations for the
proper transportation facilities to
handle it.
The cars viii be ready to send out of
the shops by the end of next month,
and will be Immediately put into the
service here. They viii have open
ventilator tops and air-heles at each
end of the car The fruit will be given
plenty of fresh air, and win arrive at
the city in just as good condition as
when shipped The cars are of a class
which are seldom turned out from any
thing but the largest carshops and fac
tories, and are far and away above the
average in point of workmanship.
AS soon as these are completed, John
Hughes expects to start work on the
construction of seven or eight new pas
senger ears, these also to be equipped
with all the latest appliances and to
be of the most modern type. They are
to be used on the local run. Besides
the construction of some forty rail
road cars, Mr.. Hughes has also the
superintendency of the construction OF
the monster clam-shen dredger which
is to be used clearing the channel at
Pearl Harbor. This is for the Hawaiian
Dredging Company.
The pineapple cars, which viii be fin
ished about the end of June, were only
started about two months ago, showing
the rapidity with which this sort OF
work is handled in the local shops. The
ears viii be great boon to shippers OF
all kinds of fruit, especially pine
apples, for they greatly remove the liza
bility of the green stuff becoming wilted
during the railroad journey. The ears
will also be used in the carrying OF
sugar.
