INSTRUCTION SCHOOL.
 FOR GUARD OFFICERS

Little Rock, August 2.-Upon the return to Little Rock of Mai l.. l.. Compere, there will be a meeting of the staff ot Gen. B w. Green and the question of send ing rifle team to the annual national shoot at Camp Perry, Ohio, will be settled. One of the leading officers of the Arkansas National Guard Is this year op- posing the team being sent to Camp Perry on account of the poor records made in former years. He says it does not speak well for Arkansas. Other mem- bers of the staff believe the team will make a better record this yea1' and desire to make the trip, They say the states which are now winning the high honors are the ones which have been repre- sented in the national shoots for years, and Arkansas will in time learn the targets at Camp Perry, and to make the proper wind al- lowances, so that the sharpshoot- CTS will make as good records as the best in the land, for on their h o m e ranges the Arkansas troops shoot as well as the the expert ritlmen who are. now get ting the national honors.
 The staff will also decide upon a school instruction for the off cers of the Guard. If it is de- sired, the War Department will give an order to hold school of instruction such as was conduct ed two years ago when the off cers of the various companies went into camp at Fort Logan H. Roots and were drilled there by regular army officers.

Was Wounded By Wade Hampton.

Gen. u. r. Brooks, an authority on
Confederate history, made the state
ment that Col. T. B. Crews of Laurens,
who died early Sunday, was wounded
i'm the war once.
II was, states Gen. Brooks, when
Gen. Hampton was sending out two
scouting parties, one OF which Gen.
Hampton led and the other was led by
Col. T. B. Crews. The two parties
were looking for the Yankees, always
expecting attacks. The scouting par
ties were kept on the go In Virginia.
This was In 1868. The instructions to
Col. Crews were that If there was any
thing in the road to charge. 1t so
happened that one of the two Con-
federate scouting parties took the
wrong road. 1t met the other party
and the firing commenced. Both sides
having exhausted their fire, the hght
was at closer range. Gen. Hampton
reached out with his sabre and cut a
man in the head. 1t was Col. Crews ne
cut. The parties recognized one an
other when Col. Crews called out: EN-,
it's Gen. Hampton and his men" and
then Gen. Hampton said: Tom,
would not have hurt you for anything
in the world" Two horses were killed
also. Gen. Brooks stated today that
was the only time that Col. Crews was
wounded I'm the war and he was sur
prised that the incident had been over
looked. Another comrade OF Gen.
Brooks, who was asked also, said to-
day that this was a correct statement
of the incident when Col. Crews was
wounded by a sabre cut.

WILD INDIANS IN CALIFORNIA.
Remnant of q Tribe Has Kept Itself

Remnant of . Tribe Has Kept Itself
Hidden For Forty Years.
The discovery Of the remnant Of
tribe of Indians hiding In a wild and
unsettled portion of Tehama county.
by scientists from the University OF
California had led to the keenest inter-
est among anthropologists, and an ef-
fort is being made to have the govern
ment of the United States take charge
of the remaining members.
Prof. A. L. Kroeber of the depart
ment of anthropology of the Universl-
ty Of California, writes:
THAT there should be tribe of en-
tirely wild Indians at this date in so
thickly settled state as California
seems absolutely incredible.
when the first rumor of the un-
tanned aborigines in Tehama county.
reached the University Of California,
it was known at once who the Indians
must be If they existed at all, for the
so called Kombo or Mill Creek tribe'of
this region had long been regarded as
one of the smallest and at the same
time most unique tribes in California.
But as this band was last seen In 1870
the possibility of their having been
able to keep themselves entirely hid
den for forty years was remote.
IAN expedition headed by T. T. Wa
terman, an instructor in the depart
ment Of anthropology, was out

care they were unable to meet any OF
the Indians in person they brought
back evidence which indisputably
proves their existence.
THE tract which they inhabit Is on
ly few miles square and an easy
days journey from Vina on the Shasta
route of the Southern Pacific railroad.
It Is without question the toughest
and most impenetrable stretch OF
country in California The Indians
know every inch of this territory. AS
soon as one Of their trails becomes
we'll worn they abandon II for less Wis
ible paths The trails go under the
brush instead Of through 1t, so that the
Indians do most of their travelling on
hands and knees. This prevents the
stock which occasionally strays into
the region from following the trails
and beating them out.
IF limbs have to be removed the
Indians cut them off with old saws or
knives that they have stolen from
neighboring ranchers. so as to avoid
the sound Of chopping with an ak,
which might lead to their being loca-
ted.
"As the county which they inhabit
is absolutely useless even to cattle 1t is
practically never entered. The few
ranchers that cross the country prefer
to travel around the tract instead OF
through it"-San Francisco Chroni-

Another Fielder Letter.

The State, Sunday.
The Atlanta Constitution yesterday
published most sensational open let
ter addressed ITO Cole L. Blease" and
signed by Thomas B. Fielder. This let
ter follows one Of more general char
acter addressed to many newspapers.
Charges of the gravest nature are
made against the governor of South
Carolina, and he is challenged to go
into the United States courts for re-
dress. Two letters signed Cole" al
legged to have been addressed to a IL
quor establishment, one asking for pay
for services and the other acknowledge
ing the receipt of $500, and expressing
doubt of Hubs" reliability in money
matters, are printed. 1t Is distinctly
shocking to South Carolinians to have
coward or thief" applied to the gov
ernor Of this state.
While the matter has been pub
lished in a responsible newspaper, the
State does not feel warranted in re-
producing the language conveying
criminal charges until there Is more
light shed. Mr.. Fielder should be
made to prove his charges or else sur
fer the penalties for gross libel.
He says in part:
If the charges l make are false.
they are libelous per Sc, and / am
suably solvent.
Moreover, with apologies to the
shades of my departed ancestors, l In
modesty CD claim to be your equal.
and if you are aggrieved by the
charges, it will be my pleasure to
meet you at such time and place with
out the confines of your state that
may suit your convenience, to the end
that abundant opportunity may be af-
forded to redress your grievances.
If my charges are groundless and
libelous and you do not wish to seek
personal satisfaction, you can institute
suit against me in the United States
court in the city Of Atlanta-should it
he objected, however, that this is my
home county, then in any Of the sub
divisions of the district. AS soon as
suit Is filed I hereby promise and
agree, in order to facilitate and expe-
dite the same and by way of circum-
venting any excuse you may offer for
inaction, that | will acknowledge SER
vice and will enter into a recognizance
with good and approved security in an
amount covering the sum sued for, the
fees of your counsel and the cost Of

Conservatism Needed.

I'VE ought to be very careful that
we do not indict men whose purposes
have been correct, whatever may have
been their performance. We ought to
see to it that we do not promote pub
licity but we ought to see to 1t also
that we speak the truth very plainly
and without reserve. And l want you
to remember throughout what l have
to say, that am addressing primarily
the little company of gentlemen who
have recently been assembled In this
state to discuss the interest OF the
periodical press of South Carolina, for
il seems to me that there is some
thing very meet that ought to be DIS
cussed by the men who are conducting
the newspapers Of a great state.
II do not understand that the edit
ing of a newspaper is merely to dis
play a state of mind. l must say very
frankly that i'm a great many OF the
editorials | read, / see great many
things referred to, see a great many
things taken for granted that are no
where explained in the other parts or
the newspapers. | see editorials about
what the big interests of the country
are trying to do, what the passions OF
politics are known to be. But tne
news columns do not supply me with
the items by which can put the pic
ture together and understand IL lot
myself A newspaper is not intended
merely to express the opinions which
the editor holds. II is also intended
10 supply the reader with sufficient in
formation to determine for himself
whether the editor knows what ne IS
talking about or not. (ApDlauseO
Details Demanded.
And that information is not mere
Iy the sundry and casual news OF the
day, and the editorship of a newspaper
is a minor kind of statesmanship. You
want to assemble your news in such
a way and emphasize it in such way
that you will present to your readers
a picture of the life Of the state ana
of the life of the Union, so that the
reader will have a means of knowing

Mrs Graham's capabilities are well
known to the club women of the
State, as has already been evinced by
her administration as State Regis
trar, which was characterized by pa
tience and methodical work. She
will prove a wnrthy successor.

that it consists now of different de-
partments; the educational activities
therein connected are under the

come acquainted with her through
the columns of THE Keystone" the
journal devoted to women's work.
Her report stated that scholarships
had been and were now offered to
deserving and ambitious boys ard
girls. An amount was pledged by
various delegates to appropriate
scholarships for one boy to receive
an education at Carolina and schol-
arship for one girl at Winthrop.
The retiring presidents recon-
mendations were read and one |
noted was the resolution to appro-
pirate $50 for president of the divl-
sion, to be used to cover the expenses
incurred by making visits to each
chapter of the State. Mrs Keltt' OF
Clemson College, proposed that a
memorial drinking fountain be do
mated to Clemson and requested aid
from UDC. Mrs McWhirter, OF
Union county, gave splendid de-
scription of the Richmond conven-
ton where the South Carolina d.
vision was well received ard admir-

aroused much enthusiasm and inter-
est was that of the effort which will
be put into execution by the L D Z

tom of using fair and impartial his
tories written by Southerners, in the
graded schools. 1t was resolved that

mannerism, at once gives the impress
sion that the venerable lady is not
unlike her illustrious namesake. The
exercises of this evening closed with
a reception, which was rendered the
convention by President and Mrs
Wilson, of the college.
On Wednesday the session was
held in the hall of the Knights of
Pythias. Mrs August Kohn, the re-
firing President. conducted the ex-
ercises with her usual capability and
that womanly, dignifed demeanor
which has distinguished her as a
leader among u D C's. This exer-
else consisted of various reports and
announcements and was followed by
adjournment for luncheon, which
was rendered US by Star Fort Chap

The Historical Lesson, one of the
most interesting features Of the

CARDS the sacrifcial element in the
Southern war hero, whom history
delights to honor by recording him
as the greatest of his illustrious

Thursdays meeting was devoted
to conferences, reports and great
variety of important business. Ev-
erything in the way of decoration
which could inspire patriotism, en-
thusiasm and artistic beauty had
been arranged in the halls where
the meetings were conducted. The
portraits of the Confederate heroes,
the U D C's delight to keep fresh in
the memory, adorned the walls and
the Confederate colors were in evil
dence continually to remind US OF
sacred and hallowed memories.
