Charlotte Observer

Charlotte Observer
A Columbia, S. c., dispatch
states that the directors of the
North & South Carolina Railway
have filed with the South Carolina
authorities an application for
amendment Of its charter so as
to permit the increase of its cap
ital stock from $50, 600 to ST.
600, 900 and to extend the length
of it's line 20 miles" This is the
railroad The Observer referred to
a short while ago as now being
built from Gibson on the State
line south of Hamlet,in a south
easterly direction toward Dillon
on what is known as the Fay
etteville Shortcut" of the Allan
tic Cost Line between Florence
and Fayetteville passing through
McColl. SC, to which point. we
believe, the road has already been
constructed. This road will al
most parallel the State line, just
over on the South Carolina side
and is supposed to be a branch
road. which if not being built by
the Cost Line will eventually be-
come a part of that great system.
The construction Of TIE rev rod
will be Of great benefit to the
farmers in that garden spo, =
the counties OF Scotland and Rob-
eson in this state and Marlboro
and Marion in SouthCarolina. We
say let the good work go on. Every
such branch line or feeder to the
big systems puts more heretofore
isolated people in touch with the
great world, gives them betl,r
access to markets and makes farm
life less irksome and less lonely.

Gre ArAN TO CHEROKEE
Croatan Indians Want Name
Changed to Cherokee.

0c6SA W ShOl oASC.
AS mentioned in Tuesdays Robe
sonian. Congressman Goodwin has
introduced a bill 10 ,l,a' ge .:.e.
name Of the Croatan Inoians to
| Cherokee, which they claim as
their original name The bill
reads as follows: Whereas the

changed to Cherokee. by which
name they shall be hereafter
known and designated"
Most of the Croatan Indians of
the State live in Robson. The
following is taken from the
Washington correspondence of
the Charlotte Observer of the
9th:
"Aren S. Locklear, Of Penn
broke, accompanied by Daniel
Locklear, and Aaron Brooks, Of
the same community have been
here in the interest of their
people-the Croatan Indians. AS
a result of their visit Represent
ative Goodwin has introduced
bill providing for the changing
of the name Croatan to Cherokee.
1t is contended that the Croatans
belong to the Cherokee branch
Of the American Indian family.
This action on the part of the
LocklearS and others is not for
a mere matter of sentiment but
for the purpose Of taking the
rank that they believe they are
entitled to among men. AS it is,
tsey argue, they have no place.
: Locally, of course, the word
: 'Croatan' means something, but
; outside OF the State it stands for
, nothing. If were to visit Char

Locklear to me, / could Mt make
