About 1720 the IroquOis conquered
the Delawares, forced them to accept
the title Of women" and began sell
ing their lands on the Delaware and
SusQuehanna rivers to the colony of
Pennsylvania. Finally the Lenni-Le-
nape settled on the Ohio. When the
struggle between the French and Eng
lish centered in the Ohio valley in
1854 the Delawares felt that they
were about to be driven from their
last refuge. They rose In rebellion
against both the Pennsylvanians and
the Iroquois and attacked.
A council was called ut Esston, Pa,
in July, 1850. Tedyuskung issued a
Declaration Of Independence. 1.-THE

STORIES OF
GREAT INDIANS
PONTIAC, THE OTTAWA, THE
INDIAN NAPOLEON
By Elmo Scott UoiSon

TT WAS not q new ureum-tiiis plan
l. Of uniting oil the tribes to drive
out the white man. Opechancanough,
the Pamunkey, and King Philip, the
WampanOag, had dreamed 1t and paid
the penalty with their lives. Little
Turtle, the Miami, and Tecumseh, the
Shawnee, were destined to attempt 1t
and to fail. OF them all, Pontiac, the
Ottawa, came nearest succeSs-and he
failed when woman talked!
Pontiac hated the English. But he
loved the French and when they lost
North America at Quebec in 1859, he
wanted to keep on fighting. On May
7, 1853, one smashing blow by the al
lied Indians was to regain this ter
ritory for the French and their red
friends.
The blow fell and the Indians were
80 successful In their surprise attacks
that eight of the British forts were
captured and nearly all the garrisOns
massacred. Pontiac was in personal
command Of the Indians around De-
troit, the keystone to British rule In
the West. He planned to capture 1t by
treachery.
Near the fort lived an Ojibway girl
called Catherine. She loved Major
Gladwyn, the commandant, and be-
trayed Pontiac's plot in time to save
the fort. Foiled In his attempt to take
Detroit, the Ottawa saw his grand
conspiracy crumbling. 1t was dealt
final blow when he received a mes
sage from the French cOmmandant at
Fort Chartres, Ill.,, telling him that
England and France were now at
peace and bidding him end his war.
But Pontiac was not ready to give
up yet. He visited the Illinois tribes
and tried to rally them to his cause.
They hesitated to join him. Glaring
angrlly at their chiefs, the Ottawa ex-
claimed: "If you refuse, I will con-
sumo your tribes as q fire consumes
the dry grass of your prairies !"
BY now he realized the hODeIessness
of his dream. After one more attempt
to gain aid from the French, he gave
up the struggle and returned to De-
trOit to sign treaty Of peace. In
1869 he came again to Illinois. At
Cahokia an English trader named
Williamson, who hated the great OF
tawa, offered a Kaskaskia warrior a
barrel Of whisky to kill Pontiac.
The Kaskaskia was easily persuad-
ed. He remembered Pontiac's threat
against his people years before Late
one night as Pontiac, unsuspecting
danger, strOde through the woods on
his way to st. Louis the Kaskaskia
glided up behind him. A tomahawk
cleaned in the starlight and descended

e F FFoRTS TO DEP PORT
FOREIGN BORN BOoTLECCARS

New York, Nov. efforts to de-
port foreign-born bootleggars will
be made by E. c. Yellowly, who has
assumed the office of prohibition of
ficer for the State of New York.
"Most of the determined, presis-
ent violaters of our prohibition laws"
he said, "today are foreigners, some
of whom have been naturalized and
who were, in many instances, COMPEL.
ed to leave the land of their birth be-
cause of criminal conduct.
when these alien, or foreign-born
citizens are reported to me and con-
victions follow, will use my utmost
effort to have those who have been
naturalized lose their citizenship and
the aliens Immediately deported.

CUSTOM AN OLD ONE

The idea is prevalent throughout
the United States that our Thanksgiv-
ing day is peculiarly an American
custom of New England origin. This
is true in part only The
general observance through many
years of a set day on which to give
thanks to Almighty God for his bless
ings have made the custom distinctly
ely America; but it's origin long ante
dates the settlement of this western
continent and we must look elsewhere
for it.
In old Egypt, when the harvest had
been gathered, it was the custom to
observe day of feasting and to lay
offerings upon the affairs of Isis, the
goddess of agriculture. The Jewish
festival was the "Ingathernig," or the
Feast ofthe Tabernacle" mentioned
in Exodus and other parts of the Old
Testament. This was more particular
ly thanksgiving for the fruit
harvest, but as it came at the close of
the entire harvest it probably was
inended also as general thanksgiving
for the boundy OF nature"
The goddess of the Roman harvest
was Ceres. Her festival was celebrated
annually and was called Ceralia 1t
was day of worship and rustic sports.
Men and women formed professions
and went to the fields with music.
In one way or another, a Thanks
giving day had been observed in Chris
tian Europe for centuries before it's
celebration in New England. The early
Christians kept such days as the hish-
ops named them within their jurisdic-
ton. On the continent, and for time
in England, it occurreA at Martinmas,
which was day of feasting and drink
ing. Occasionally, too, civic authorities
recommended the obervance of some
fixed day.

FARMERS GAINING
STRENCH IN UNION

Union, Nov. 11.-That Union
County is setting pace which
might well be followed by other
counties in progressive agriculture
is shown by the toward steps being
taken by farmers in that county as
reported by County Agent w. D.
wood, who gives come interesting
facts about soil building, increase
in livestock, home orchards, etc.
Illustrating the value of soil build
ing, Mr.. Wood reports the experience
of N. r. Jeter, of Union, who produc-
ed on a field of corn following
crimson clover turned under 70
bushels per acre with only 200 pounds
of 1873 fertilizer this yield being
about seven times the average yield
for the county. He points out also
the facts that the value of fertile
soil under weevil conditions has been
clearly shown on number of other
farms, in that seed germanition was
better, stands were more uniform,
- eheihS anu were more
satisfactory, and cotton yields much
better.
Regarding livestock and orcharding
the county agents own words tell
the story most effectively. He says
Hogs.-The interest in hogs is
growing in this county. A number of
farmers are building new fences and
planting forage crops this fall.
Dairing.-One year ago there was
only one shipper of cream in this
county, while at present time there
are several farmers shipping cream to
nearby creameries. Marked develop
ment along this line may be expected
during the next twelve months.
Orcharding.-Over one hundred
additional home orchards will be
planted this fall, and if present plans
materialize about $50 acres of peaches
will set out for commercial
purposes.

TRADES HIS WIFE FOR FORD CAR
WOMAN SIGNS THE AGREEMENT

Syracuse, N. Y. Noy. oy.2.-According
to deed Of barter made public by
a prominent official in Oswego, F. r.
Woodruff, teamster of Fulton, sign
en- over his wife on July 18, 1921, to
Grover Grant for his Ford touring
car and all "the considerations, i'm
cluding one tire, one pump and all
the 'toules' in the car at the pres
ent time. let all bonds drop on
my)wife this 18th day of July, 1921.
Sind Frank r. Woodruff, Grover
Coant, Media Woodruff"
The spelling in the foregoing deed
is as shown here.
Woodruff did not long enjoy his
Ford, for he failed to make payments
due and it was taken away from him.
The case came to light when Fulton
authorities discovered that Wood
ruff's children were neglected and an
investigation brought out the
strange facts of the barter. Mrs.
Woodruff is said to be in Utica, but
her address is not known to the au-
thorities. Coant is still in Fulton
and said today that he was ready to
trade his present car for another good
woman.

REASONS FOR GIVING THANKS

It is three hundred years since
Thanksgiving day was first celebrated
on the American continent. The Pill
grim band, though they had lost half
their numbers during the first winter
at Plymouth, and though they were
beset by hardships and by the fear of
their savage neighbors, found in the
survival of the little colony and in
the hope Of gradually ameliorating
lot just cause for thanksgiving to God.
Have we, who have inherited the in
stitutions and the spiritual ideals that
they labored to establish, less reason
than they to be thankful?
Like the other nations of the world
the United States has reached a great
social and political crisis. We have
passed through great war, and we
begin to feel the burden of debt and
disaster that the war laid upon man
kind. Our trade is dsarranged !;
neither financially nor economically
are we SO prosperous as we are wont
to be. We are little afraid of the fu-
tYre, for we have been shaken out of
the easy and comfortable confidence
in our own efficiency in which we
have been used to live.
But a great material prosperity is
not always matter for thanksgiving
1t sometimes softens and dissipates the
strength and virtue of a nation. Per-
haps nations like me- should echo the
prayer of AguIVe, GIVE me neither
poverty nor riches" We have enough
and, like the Pilgrims, we can reason
ably hope for an increasing store of
comforts in the coming years. Is there
not ample cause for thanksgiving in
the fact that, although the nation has
been tried by adversely and loss and
assailed by doubt and missgivings, it
shows no sign of losing it's heart or its
head? The gospel of hard work and
cheerful courage still counts most
Americans as its adherents. We are
working our way out of the depression
that the war caused.
We do not thank God because our
way is the way of fatness and of
peace, but because, in the time of
testing and trial, our people are able
to quit themselves like men.-Youth' 5
Companion.

F TORS In
PROFITABLE FARMING

Clemson College, Nov 1.-the
most important single element in
profitable farming is a fertile SOIL
The principal steps necessary to Sc
cure fertile soil are given by Prof.
c. p. Blackwell, Chief of the Agron-
omy Division.
First, the drainage must be taken
care of and the land not allowed to
wash if it is to be built up to high
state of fertility. In order to pre-
vent washing it is necessary to have
proper terracing. Next to proper
terracing, is the incorporation of or
ganic matter as the most important
thing for our thin soils. We have
found that the greater the amount
of organic matter added to most
South Carolina soils the greater the
amount of fertilizer that can be ap-
piled with profit.
We have also found that legumes
constitute the best source of organic
natter. Legumes when grown as a
nomical contribution of organic mat
,er and nitrogen to the soil Of these
companion crops, perhaps the velvet
hean is the most valuable, when
rown as companion crop with co
Cowpeas and soy beans may also be
,rown successfully in this way.
The legum's next most econ ON
cal contribution to soil improve.
nent is as winter cover crop. I'll
equine may be grown alone or in
combination with rye. Rye and
.etch make one of our best winter
cover crops when turned under as a
:reen manuring crop.
The third most important factor
in soil Improvement is crop rotation.
A crop rotation in which a legume
appears as often as practicable is
extremely important in soil improve
ment and in promoting greatest eff
finciency of valuable plant food in the
soil. We have found in our expert
ments that crop rotation contrib
utes as much to the yield of crops as
1000 pounds of S-4-4 fertilizer
per acre. 1t is therefore a contribu-
ton which can not be neglected.
Proper cultivation is also very
important factor in efficient crop
production Many of the farmers
N South Carolina do not have the
proper plows or sufficient teams
With which to prepare and cultivate
their land efficiently
Another aid to successful crop pro-
duction is proper use of lime and
commercial fertilizer. From our ex-
periments to date, we believe that
line when used in connection will,
organic matter and crop rotation is
valuable aid to soil building and
economical production. The judi
cious use Of commercial fertilizer is
essential to profitable crop produc-
Ion on practically all of. the soils of
his state. Judging both from our
experiments and from observation of
he practice of our most successful
armers, we are convinced that the
above named factors are the deter
mining factors in successful crop
production in this state. We believe
hat any farmer who will put into
'ractice proper terracing, crop rota-
ion, incorporation of organic mat
,er, and combine with this good til
age practices and judicious use of
ime with commercial fertilizer, will
,e able to produce crops economical
y and profitably.
