Tribal Rights of the catawbas.
A gentleman who lives near the Ca
tawba Indian reservation, and who
was in Yorkville last Saturday, says
the Indians are not pleased with Judge
Moore's holding against their long-es-
tablished tribal rule that the white
wives Of Indians should share alike
with the Indians. in the division OF the
annual appropriation from the state.
According to this gentleman, the In
dams claim that their rule was not
esta ablished so much on a basis Of self
ishness as It was to prevent inter-mar-
riage between whites and Indians, and
they think also that they should be
allowed to manage things for them
selves without the interference Of the
white mans courts. From their stand
point that is the principal issue in
volved, and they will probably take
their case as far as they can.
Work at Lockhart Interrupted.
Chester Reporter: We were inform
ed q few days ago by n gentleman
from near Broad river that work on
the power dam at Lockhart. which Is
nearing completion, has been sus-
pended by the granting of an in
junction by Judge Moore upon pc
tition Of Mr.. w. C.. Thompson, who
claims that his fine bottom lands, con-
tanning about 400 acres, and which
produce about bale Of cotton To the
acre, will be damaged by back water
from the dam. AS no assurance was
given Mr.. Thompson, who Is large
tHc thos
his interests will be protected, he had
the contractors enjoined from further
work. Most of the hands have left
the dam, and it is not likely that work
can be Immediately resumed even II
the injunction is dissolved.
The Hail in Cleveland County.
Cleveland Star: Our sympathy
goes out to the farmers in the hail
stricken district, small in ara, but
large in extent. Those who have not
seen the havoc wrought, have little
idea what hail can do. Fortunate
ly the hail and wind did not cover
the county. Had it been general,
there Is no telling what sort Of busi-
ness and home conditions woud have
arisen. The Star had occasion to see
the fields Of Reinhardt Dogett, Coy
McSwain. Mr.. Lovelace, l.. P. Var
