INDIANS SEEK SETTLEMENT
CataWbdS Want Cash Allowance and
Also Extra Land Grants.
MEETING WAS Held AT RESERVATION

Governors Commission Will Make Res
ommcndation to General Assembly
After Careful Consideration ct Claim
Of the Indians-Want Sixty Acres Of
Land Each.
Members Of the tribe of Catawba IN
dians. meeting on their reservation III
eastern York. county in the Lesslic Sec
ton, last Thursday night decided upon
the terms of the settlement they will
request the state of South Carolina to
make with them.
Briefly stated the Indians want the
state to allow them GO acres of land
per head, in addition to what they now
own, the state to retain title: build
suitable residences upon the several
tracts and provide working stock and
farm implements In addition it is ask
cd that the state make an annual al
lowancc OF $500 per head for the next
twenty years.
For some years past the Indians, the
tribe now numbering 135, have been
seeking to effect Il settlement with tho
state. 1t seems that about 1911 the
state leased an area Of about Ii square
miles from tho Indians, it being alleged
that the state agreed to pay Il rental OF
| S. 1000 a. year for u period Of 80 years.
Meantime the state issued grants Of the
| land to settlers and the entire tract,
with the exception Of about GAO acres
! retained us the reservation, is now
owned By Suuth CaroliniunS. Rock
Hill. Fort Mill and portions of Chester
and Lancaster counties are included in
this tract, it is said. The Indians con-
tend that the state has not paid q rent
al of $4,000 IL year. Which the lease :eX-
pircd tho Indians did not call for a.rc-
turn Of their land, if it was due to be
returned to them under the terms OF
the lease or treaty. They are not ask
ing for this now but contend that they
must have more land and must be pro-
vidcd with means whereby they can
better themselves. have schools Of their
own and bring their children up to DC
intelligent and entcrprising citizens.
The commission has gone into vsLri-
| GUS phases Of the situation and is still
considering the matter from all angles
in order that the best possible solution
of the problem mdy be reached. One
of the citizens testifying before the
commission pointed out. that the In
dians were like children. They must
be taught to farm, to provide for them
selves and to take care Of what they
make. Even the members Of the tribe
admit it would be folly for the state to
give them titles to land. rs they would
dispose Of it, make way with the pro-
cccds and then be in as bad fix as ever.
The Catawbas have ever been count
cd as the friend of the settlers and it
is understood that on many occasions

The ROAD BILLS
ARE IN DANCER
Senator John Walter Smith So
Writes Chairman of Maryland
State Roads Commission

United States Senator John Walter
Smith yesterday wrote Chairman
Mackall, of the State Roads Commits
sion, letter concerning the measure
pending in Congress which provides
for continuing another year the $780,
100000 Federal appropriation for
good roads. Senator Smith indicates
that the bill has small chance of pass
ing.
Senator Smith informed Mr.. Mack
all that it had been impossible to get
two-thirdS vote in favor of suspend
ing the rule in order to include the
road bill in the post Office appropria-
tion bill as an amendment. Senator
Smith stated that he believed that if
the bill could get a vote it would be
passed, but he was unable to say de-
finitely whether it would be taken up
at this session of Congress.
If the bill fails it will seriously in
terfere with Maryland's road building
program this year. Under the plan
by which the $10O,000,0O0 is appro-
priated to the States, Maryland would
receive $S69,000. and this is more
than half the amount counted on for
this States general road program for
1921. The amount expected to be re-
ccived from the Government was TO
be matched with an approximately
similar amount from the State, and
this combined fund of something more
than Sl,500000 was to provide for
the extensions to the main system of
highways. If the bill fails the work
along this line for 1921 will be cut in
half.
The lateral roads fund of $l.500,-
900, made up half by the State and
half by the counties, will not be af-
fccted by the failure of the Govern
ment appropriation, so that the lateral
roads work will be the larger of the
1921 operations of the State Roads
Commission if the appropriation fails.
The appropriation bill in the Com
mittee on Post Offices and Post Roads,
of which Senator France, of Maryland,
is a member. Chairman Mackall has
hopes that Senator France will be able
to get the bill to vote.

Del. Monday morning at half after

paralysis Saturday morning, having

Pocomoke River at Snow Hill, con-
structcd under the provisions of the
Shoemaker law. Mr.. Taylor subse-
quently assisted in the construction
of other improved roads in the county.
A few years ago he went to Phila-
delphia, where he engaged in the
automobile supply and accessory
business.

FIRE DESTROYS
THE IRWIN HOME
Fire Utterly Wiped Out Hand
some Irwin Dwelling. Sen.
Smiths Home Threatened

The residence of the late Alexander
d. Irwin was destroyed by fire early
last Saturday morning. 1t was one OF
the handsomest homes in Snow Hill,
and was located at the corner of Fed
eral and Church Streets. All of the
furniture, books, pictures, and, in fact,
everything in the house was burned.
When the fire was discovered the
interior of the house was a seething
mass of fire, and in short while the
flames shot high up in the heavens,
illuminating the entire town.
The house was unoccupied at the
time of the fire, and no one known to
Miss Irwin had entered since she was
in it two days before the fire. She
did not use light of any kind, and is
at loss to determine the origin of
the fire. -
The house was insured for a very
small amount, and the loss, is there
fore, considerable.
For a time the residences of Mr..
John L. Mock and Senator Smith were
in danger, but the fire department -
vented the spreading of the +
these and other buildings.
