STORIES OF
GREAT INDIANS

by limo Scott Uoison

n NCE upon time writ Of habeas
" corpus was invoked In behalf Of
an Indian and the decision in his case
our Indian affairs. That man was
Standing Bear (Mon-chu-non-zhin),
chief Of the Poncas.
In 1877 the government decided to
remove Standing Bears people from
their ancestral homes in Nebraska to
Indian Territory. In spite Of his op-
position, he and nine other chiefs were
taken south to choose a reservation.
They would not select place, where
upon the agent refused them trans
portation home.
At night they slept in haystacks,
shivering with the cold. Their only
food was raw corn which they found
in the fields. Their moccasins wore
out. After so days they reached the
Otoe reservation in Nebraska and as
they walked into the agents Office
they left bloody footprints on the
floor. Ten days later they rode
wearily into their home camp on
ponies which the 0toss had given
them.
In their absence an official Of the
Indian department arrived to remove
the Pencas by force. Accepting the
inevitable, Standing Bear prepared to
retrace his steps. After a terrible
journey, during which two Of Standing
Bears children died, the discouraged
Poncas settled in their new homes.
Within a year third Of the tribe per-
ished. Then Standing Bears favorite
son died. In January, 1879, he took
the bones Of his sons, and started
once more to Nebraska.
Two months later they arrived desti-
tute at the Omaha reservation. They
borrowed land and seed from the
Omahas and were preparing to put in
a crop when soldiers appeared to ar
rest and return them to Indian Ter
ritory. Then public sentiment inter-
vened. Two white lawyers offered to
defend the POncas and sued out a
writ of habeas corpus.
Although attorneys for the Indian
department contended that Indians
were mot persons within the meaning
Of the law" Judge Dundy ruled against
them and ordered the prisoners re-
leased. "Once I avenged my wrongs
with the tomahawk," said Standing
Bear" but the white mans way is bet
ter. I lay the tomahawk down for
ever"
BY this time Standing Bears case
had attracted national attention and
a senate investigation of the Ponca re-
moval resulted In restoring them to
their old homes. Here September 6,
1908, Standing Bear died at the age
of eighty years.

WHAT A WORKER CAN DO

The wonderful dexterity acquired
by American women in industry is
illustrated by the following account in
The World Almanac, taken from the
records of an investigator for the Uni
ted States Department of Labor:
A telephone operators average dai-
ly hours are eight and one-half, but
what with overtime, Sunday work,
working through" loss of relief, or
"eXcess loading" these are often ex-
ceeded. Two hundred and twenty five
calls per hour, or three and one-half
per minute, seems an example of rare
Speed" and yet the "peak load" Of
ten exceeds this.
In the needle trades a girl tends a
sewing machine carrying twelve nee
dies making 1000 stitches min
ute, or 100000 in ten hours, often
working in bright light and with un-
shaded eyes, and amidst a deafening
roar.
In the pea-canning industry a girl
inspect two cans of peas per second
or $4,000 per day. The cappers place
the caps on the cans at the rate of
sixty to eighty per minute.
In the shoe industry workman re-
wolves the shoe in such a manner as to
trim off the crimped surplus leather
from the upper" His task is $500
shoes a day.
In the eyeletting department of the
shoe industry an expert worker can
finish 1000 pairs of women's shoes in
one day. Each of these shoes has as
many as twelve holes irregularly
spaced, making $4,000 eyelets per
day.

WEEVIL ABUNDANT

Successful weevil control this
year is going to require more effort
and more poison per acre than has
ever been the case in the past. On
the other hand, wherever the land is
sufficiently fertile to justify such an
effort, there is much more assurance
of profit from the operation than is
usually the case. The increase will be
far more than compensated for by
the fact that the weevil damage with
out poisoning will be far greater than
normal, and thus the margin of profit
on the operation is tremendously in
creased. In other words, heavy wee
vii infestation such as we have this
year means greater expenditure per
acre for poisoning to successfully con-
troll it, but it also means a greater
actual net profit in dollars and cents
per acre from the poisoning opera
tions."

WAMPS" WHO
MADE HISTORY
By JAMES c. YOUNG.
70 by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate)
A "MOST GORGEOUS" IRISH
BEAUTY

W/HEN we read the story Of the
w vampire who devours mems
hearts perhaps we should pause and
wonder why she became vampire.
Ihere was the case Of "the most gorge
Gus Lady BlessingtOn," as an imagin-
ative admirer called her. But she was
not born Lady Blessington, or Lady
anything else. Her father was
drunken, roisteing squire of Upper
ary, and Marguerite one of seven chill
dren. He used to beat her with
heavy strap, and perhaps she was glad
when he married her to British army
captain from the nearby garrison. This
captain was drunkard and half In
sane. He beat poor Marguerite worse
than had her father. She fled to the
parental roof, and the father ordered
her back to the captain.
Then Marguerite disappeared. Her
career as vampire had begun. We
nnd her at twenty, one Of the beauties
OF Dublin. Sir Thomas Lawrence
painted a picture of her which made
both famous. She had several lovers
before meeting the earl of Blessing
still held large part Of q once vast
estate. Blessmgton married her and
they opened house in st. James square
London. In 1922 the couple went to
Paris, where she met the Count dor
say, then eighteen years old and one
Of the talented dlettantes Of the
French capital. Marguerite was thir-
ty-two, but they instantly loved. The
count Joined the two on their trip to
Genoa.
After romantic wanderings through
Italy, Marguerite came back to Lon
don. Then Blessington died, and she
found herself in straits. She turned
to writing, for which she always had
had some talent, and met with ut least
a show of success. Her efforts served
to attract many notables to her salon.
She continued to live with dOrsay,
while Bulwer-Lytton, Dickens, Thack-
cray, Tom Moore and Disraeli paid her
court. The Greek god" did not seem
to care. Among the visitors was Louis
Napoleon, afterward Napoleon III,
then broke and without friends. Mar
guerite entertained him we'll.
But at last all of this fine living end
ed In crash. There still were debt
ors' prisons in England. Marguerite
and dOrsay saw them yawning just
ahead. They owed more than $500. 900,
a huge sum then. 1t was impossible
for them to leave the house except on
Sundays, 80 many bailiffs waited about
the door.
Then the two escaped to Paris. AS
suredly Napoleon III would help. But
he had not been called Napoleon, the
Little" for nothing. He showed them
the door. Marguerite, past sixty, soon
died. D'Orsay followed her three
years later, and they sleep beneath
one stone.

WOMEN WORKERS

The total number of women work
ers in America according to the last
census is S,549,OOO and South Carroll
ma with 33 per cent. of its female
population "gainfully occupied" leads
all the other states.
Rhode Island is second with over
81 per cent. West Virginia is last with
only IL per cent. According to the
silly government classification, wom-
en- are not workers" if they work at
home. The housewife who puts in 12
hours or more day, is supposed by
the statisticians to be merely exercis-
ing for the benefit of her health, ac-
cording to the Pathfinder, of Wash.

CHINESE GIRL WINS

The people of China are not sup
posed to be remarkably intelligent
but there are many individual excep-
tions to this supposition. In New York
recently Chinese girl in competition
with American school girls won two
prizes over the other girls. She won
an award of $50 for being the best

YOUR CRITERION

The candidates for the various
county and state offices are now be-
fore you. 1t is up to you, the voters,
to decide who shall represent us in
the Legislative halls of the state and
who shall administer certain other of
fees.
In this connection The Advertiser
has no hesitancy in saying that for
Chief Executive of the State it has a
preference, in fact is committed to
Chesterfield's candidate for that high
office, the Hon. G. X. Laney. We be-
lieve Mr.. Laney is well equipped men
tally and morally for this office We
unhesitatingly commend him to the
voters of this county.
His service of twenty years in the
legislative halls of the State have
eminently fitted him for the place of
Governor.
AS to other offices we have only this
to say. 1t is greatly to be hoped that
in this crisis only the very best men
will be selected. Friendship and per-
sonal obligation should have absolute
ly no weight with the voter in making
his selection. This paper takes the
stand that such considerations are at
least unpatriotic. SIS this man mental
ly and morally equipped for this of,
fee? Is he the best man for the
place." is the only consideration wor-
thy of attention at this time.
The proper candidate is not seeking
favor or bounty and the proper
voter has no favor or bounty to be.
stow. The question is one of Service
offered and Service accepted. And be-
fore the service is accepted the Ques-
tion of ability should be carefully
weighed and decided by the voters.

THE LATEST FAD

In recent number Of the Ladies'
Home Journal there is an article that
will cause surprise and regret. 1t
states that the present great increase
in the use of cigarettes is due to the
fact that women are using cigarettes
in larger quantities than ever before
and in steadily increasing amount.
1t is said that the use of cigarettes
is increasing especially in girls schools
and colleges. In fact the habit is be-
coming fad and when fad starts
among the rising generation there is
no knowing where it will end.

ENROLL NOW

We wish to urge upon every citizen
of Chesterfield County the Importance
of placing his or her name on the
Democratic club roll. This is neces-
sary if you wish to vote in the primary
election in August.
Voting is not only privilege, it is
a solemn duty. Those who willfully ne
glect this duty can hardly lay claim
to good citizenship, whether man or
woman.
Now that the ladies have the fran
chise it is very important that they ex-
ercise it in order that the vote will be
fully representative.
So we trust that every man and
woman who is entitled to vote will en-
roll at once.

Made Records for Agents.

A prominent insurance executive de-
cided not long ago that he would talk
to about 10000 agents who write poll
cies for his concern. He could not
get them all together, so he concluded
to use the phonograph. He prepared
an address of 400 words and then made
q master record.
This record was duplicated 20 times
and catchy tune was put on the op-
poslte side of the disk. Then these
records were mailed to the agents from
the Atlantic to the Pacific in the be-
lief that those who did not have talk
ing machines would take the records
to ncighbor or to q music store to
hear the message.

MUSCLE SHOALS AND
IIENDV EOPn

ErRn
If any excuses were needed by this
paper for keeping the Muscle Shoals
project before the public of South
Carolina it would be found in the fact
that the disposition of the great watel
power means more to the Southern
States than any other proposition be.
fore Congress sand the country.
In a recent speech in Congress,
Hon. w. c. Wright, of Georgia, pre-
sented some facts that showed the i'm
portance of accepting the proposition
of Henry Ford, to take over the Mus.
Gle Shoals project. Mr.. Wright is one
of the ablest members of Congress and
of the truest friends of the people
He began his speech by laying down
some plain and pertinent propositions
The proper development of Muscle
Shoals, explained Mr.. Wright, has a
four fold purpose:
First, the generation of hydroelec-
trio power; and it is one of the most
potential power sites in the United
States, and second, perhaps, to none
except Niagara Falls. With the com
pletion of Dam No. 2 and the building
of Dam No. 3, almost a million horse
power would be developed. Second
the operation of the great nitrate
plant which has already been complet-
ed, and which, if kept in state of
readiness, would insure this country
an ample supply of nitrate for the
manufacture of munitions in time of
emergency. Third, in peace time for
the manufacture of fertilizers. That
plant can produce fertilizer contain
ing hXed nitrogen of 100000 tons per
annum. AS now constructed, it has
q capacity for 1000 tons of nitrate
OF ammonia, which contains 100000
tons of fixed nitrogen. The nitrogen
production of the plant is of an an
nual capacity equal to the Chilean nj
trate used by the farmers of the Unit
ed States,and if the nitrogenous com
pounds which can be annually produc-
ed at the plant were mixed into a bal
anced fertilizer such fertilizer would
approximate 100000 tons per an

cation on the Tennessee River. which
Is OF great Importance. There is a
stretch of approximately 10 miles on
the tennessee River which is shoaly
and not open to navigation, and this
stretch obstructs navigation for some
400 miles along that great river,
which runs through section full of
coal and iron and other mineral re-
sources, and if these developments
are made as contemplated by the Ford
offer tkis stretch will be made ravjga-
