catawbas Sell Pottery.
Indian women from "the Nation" the
Catawba Indian Reservation near Rock
Hill were in the city today selling pot
terry. They had quite variety Of pots
pipes and other articles and they were
making strenuous efforts to dispose OF
their wares. 1t used to be that the Ca
tawbas travelled all over York, Chester
and Lancaster counties in the sum-
mer and fal, selling pottery Of their
own manufacture. Now they hardly
ever go anywhere except Rock Hill
Girl students at Winthrop College are
good buyers and Rock Hill ladies buy
quite "a bit of earthen ware from
them. Several Of the best pottery
makers among the Catawbas have died
in recent years and now there are very
few Indians at the reservation who
give attention to 1t.
Red Cross Drive Successful.
Rock Hills quota Of $4,000 in the
national Red Cross drive was reached
this morning and 1t may be that the
I>city will go over the top and beyond
to the extent of $1,000. Workers were
hoping to exceed their quota by that
sum at least and this morning re-
ports from a number of workers had
not been received. The city supports
a Red Cross nurse and representative
who has offices in the Chamber OF
Commerce building here. She handles
all.local charities. When beggars come
around to the doors of Rock Hill peo-
pie they are referred to the Red Cross
Rock Hill .YorkviIle Road.
The State Highway Department has
done wonders to the Yorkville-R Rock
Hill road in the past ten days. The
read has been dragged and great holes
that had made their appearance es-
pecially between Rock Hill and New
port have been filed up. There is
some work to do yet; but the work al
ready done constitutes wonderful i'm
provement. The road leading from the
metropolis to the county seat is the
most largely travelled road in the
county and it had gotten into bad con-
dition because Of lack Of attention. One
could make the distance between the
town towns in a fifvver in thirty five
minutes this morning without difficult
ty.
The Monk Amused.
A Young Italian, swarthy and greasy
looking with a hand organ and a
monkey dropped into town this morn
ing. He kept small crowds amused all
over the city-the monkey did. People
blocked the sidewalks and a cop had
to compel them to make passageway
for the public. The monk was trained
to catch a rubber ball thrown into the
aiuend to collect nickles and dimes
from those who would give. First
Italian and monk to come into town In
quite a while" observed a cop.
