Toccoa, Ga, May Is, 1914.

Toccoa, Ga, May 10, 1914.
Editor Star: / have a word or
two for your readers about this
place in the old clay hills of Geor-
gia and the shadows of the Blue
Ridge mountains, SO miles northeast
of Atlanta on the Southern Railway,
two and a half miles from beautiful
Toccoa Falls, 1S6 feet high and IT
miles overland from Tallulah Falls,
bordering on both North and South
Carolina, and in sight of the tower
ing pines around Lake Toxaway,
where everything is nice and every
body pleasant. 1t is a fine place for
the FIoridian to spend a part of his
summer in this pleasant little city
of 1000 people. But also when it
comes to crops, a Florida cracker is
confounded to see corn and cotton
peeping timidly out of the ground,
even yet scared of the extremely cool
nights and smuggling contentedly on
the lap of mother earth, only few
hours at midday when old Sol tries
to make up for his ineffective work
during the earlier hours.

been by this time halfway stified.
They protested against the purchase

CALLED IT TOLEDO.
Story Of How an Ohio City Came -
Gets Its Name.

About 1OO years ago a little settle
ment existed at the mouth of the Maui
NEE river. Its Eis.e. Port Lawrence.
was given in hulo of the great naval
commander. The tile town was not
prosperous. aml i've years later Major
Stickney. an enthusiastic but eccentric
man, founded another settlement right
next to Port Lawrence and called his
village Vistula. Both settlements were
stimulated somewhat by the compet-
ton. but neither prospered sufficiently,
and one year later it was proposed to
unite the towns. @e
Everything was easily arranged ex-
cept the name. and here trouble arose.
Major Stickney insisted that the new
community accept the name Of his
part, Vistula, but the citizens were not
prepared to haveza name thrust upon
them by one whose peculiarities led
him to name his two children mo l."
and s.Nos a. This fact in the majors
family life was enough to cause. any
suggestion from him to be received
skeptically.
The discussions were many and heat
ed when Willard Daniels. q merchant
of Vistula. suggested that they adopt
the name Of Toledo, the ancient capital
OF Spain He explained that the word
originally was 'sToledoth, from the
Hebrew, meaning Mother Of People
and Mr.. Daniels said they ought to be
able to come together under such a
title Of peace. Another reason was the
remarkable nearness in attitudes Of
both places. in Spain and in Ohio, the
actual difference being only little
more than one degree. Further argu-l
ments Were that it was pleasant in
sound .sy to pronounce and that no

bore the name.
His reasoning prevailed, and the
united towns assumed the name To-
ledo. That they remained true to it
is shown in the fact that their first
permanent newspaper was called the
Toledo Blade. in recognition Of the fact
that Toledo. Sapin. was famed all over
the world for the quality Of the sword
blades which it produced - Ladies'

INDIAN COUNCIL
Unique Plan of Business on Cheyenne
River Reservation.

Eagle Butte, Oct. 20.-One of the
most unique executive bodies of it's
kind anywhere in the United States is
what is known as the Sioux Indian
council. a body composed of Sioux In
dams, which has exclusive charge of
the voluminous business affairs of
the Sioux Indians belonging on the
Cheyenne River Indian reservation.
AS there are several thousands OF
these Indians, and as they have large
financial dealings with the United
States government, in the way of pay
ments of interest and principal on
funds belonging to the Indians which
were derived from the sale to the
government of several hundred thou
sand acres of their surplus land, the
council frequently is called upon to
transact business on a large scale.
At the annual business meeting of the
Indians on the Cheyenne River reser-
walton the following were elected of
icers of the council for the coming
year: President, Oliver Black Eagle;
vice president, John NJ. Long; secre-
tary, Harry Kingman; treasurer, Ba-
Zil Claymore. The gathering of In
dams took action which in future will
permit Indian boys Is years old and
over to vote on tribal matters.

NOT GUILTY
Sioux Indian Acquitted of a Serious
Charge.

Selby, Oct. 20.-After being out
four hours, the jury in the case
against Baptist White Eagle. charged
with the murder of little Ada White
Shield, the 3-year-old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Adam White Shield, brought
in a verdict of not guilty. This ends
one of the most sensational murder
trials ever held in Walworth county.
and possibly the most sensational
murder case in which all parties were
Indians ever held in the state.
The complaint against White
Eagle charged that he entered the
rooms occupied by White Shield and
his family over the Klein hardware
store at Mobridge on the evening of
April s. White Shield was out at
the time and White Eagle is alleged
to have made indecent proposals to
Mrs. White Shield. She left the room
to look for her husband, and 1t is
then that the criminal assault was al
legged to have been made on the
.3-year-old baby lying sick on the bed.
The child was rushed to Aberdeen
and placed in the care of DR.. H. j.
Rock, who testified on the stand that
the child had been the victim OF a
