There will be some lively doing up

Mrs. Grey has already provoked

dered an investigation. u. Lewis Dali
by. who knew about as much about
Indians as the indians knew about
radium, made the investigation.
He started in by cursing one OF the
Indians i'm council, and seriously Of
Tended the old chief. Plenty Coos. The
Indian thereafter refused to have any
thing further to do with him, and ask
ed him to leave the reservation.
Mrs. Grey's charges involved Corn
missioner OF Indian Affairs Francis T..
I.eupp, Indian Agent S. j. Reynolds.
and many minor employees of the In
dian Office and agency. She charged
thar the Indians were being systema

she was on the reservation, on the
charge Of melting the Indians 10 vio-
lence." IL is true the Indians did not

Mrs. Grey indicted for alleged "incit-
ing the Indians TO violence. and at.
tempting to make a contract with

The possibility of Mississippi

That w. B. Smoot has an
nounced his intention of be>
ing a candidate for the State
Senate, is evidence that the
good people Of Rowan County
are not going to be misrepre~
sented in the next legislature
Mr.. Smoot is a clean, able
man, one whom the best of
our citizens can rally to with
confidence and self respect.
Few people in Rowan have
been as particular as the edi~
tor of The WAToHMAN in
choosing men to make our
laws, we are just as exacting
as ever and, being so, most
heartily endorse Mr.. Shoots
candidacy and recommend
him to those who are looking
for clean, moral men to repre-
sent the grand old christian
county of Rowan in the next
legislature. Mr.. Smoot does
not need recommendation, by
any one, where he is known,
hence our tip is TO those few
who do not know him. Let's
see that Rowan is properly
represented this year, also
that Smoot represents us in
the Senate,
