House Painting.

When the home owners thoughts
turn to house painting. problems Cal
ifornians, particularly, begin to won
der what color will be best for the
movies. A location director for mo-
ton pictures in Hollywood, Cal, says
that white houses are almost impos-
sible for use in motion pictures and
he hopes the people within the area
Of the picture industry will use neu-
trail or dark shades when they do their
house painting.
Darker shades are more agreeable
to the eye than those Of dazzling white
ness" so this movie director says, land
they photograph better, in addition to
blending with the natural colors OF
the landscape"
All-white houses are also hard on
the eyes.

a better shape than it now is or has
been for many years. The Indians
have been criticized for their religion
the majority of them at least
they being Mormons. But they state
absolutely that no other religious
sect paid them any attention until the
Mormons came among them and es-
tablished a church, which has been
the case in regard to their welfare
from the standpoint of an existence
until recently. AS I see the matter, re-
gardless of how indolent they are OF
anything else, they are human be-
ings, wards of our state and should
at least be put on par with the ne
gro.

u these Indians are the same as
minor children and can not legally
do anything except that a state Off
cial act for them.
One c~ommendable thing that l can
say for the Indians is that while they
intermarry with some very trifiing
white people and have become very
badly mixed Up, they will not have
anything to do with the negro and
are very much insulted if any one
compares them in any way to the ne
gro.
Another commendable thing in re-
gard to the Catawbas is that during
the Confederate war a number OF
them donned the Confederate uni
form and. fought bravely throughout
the war for the South, so much so
that a monument stands erected on
the public square at Fort Mill to their
honor, erected there by the late Cap
tain White of that place. In the
World War a number of the young
Catawba's went into the service and
did fine work. One of them, who went
to France, is now sick, | an afraid
with tuberculosis, which he contract
ed while in the service. Still these
people are not allowed citizenship.
After having been their financial
agent for seven years and looking in
to their situation, in fact, after find
ing their condition shortly after being
made their agent l have recommends
ed each year to the governor md
general assembly that some perma-
nent ~businesslike settlement be made
with these Indians. If the state owes
them anything, settle with them, give
them their citizenship and let them
90 out and make their own way, as
they have demonstrated that they
have plenty of ability to do if they
were given the proper chance. : do
believe that when / took Charge as
agent l could have settled with them
for a much less amount than I have
paid them during the seven years,
which amount is around $4,000, and
still they are on our hands. Governor
Cooper and others did last year sue
coed in getting a committee to look
into the matter of a permanent set
Element, but their report went in just
before the adjournment and nothing
was done. It may possibly be taken
up at this years session. If the state
does not owe them anything, then
they should discontinue the appro'
priation, give them citizenship and
let them get out with the balance OF
the people and work for their living

they see fit and wherever they see

as they see fit and wherever they see
fit.
With those who live at other
places, their children are refused ad-
m~ittance to the schools because their
parents have no citizenship and, too,
because a great many do not want
their children to mingle with them.
The state provides a school at the
reservation, but on account of moth
ing there for them to do to make a
living and the land so poor that they
can not farm and live on it they have
to go elsewhere.
The writer for some time has been
in correspondence with Senator Dial
and others in regard to trying to get
the national government to take these
Indians over and relieve the taxpay-
ers of South Carolina of them and so
far has met with little success, and
if the following letter from Congress
man Stevenson is correct, then there
is nothing left for the general assem-
bly, of this state to do but to get busy
and try to get a final settlement
with these people and either provide
for them. Mr.. Stevenson, under late
of January IL, writes as follows:
"My Dear Williams:
referring to your letter in regard
to the Catawba Indians, will say that
I noticed he activities you mention
of Senator Dial and Congressman
Fulmer about this, and l was of the
opinion that they would find out that
there was nothing in the claim. l took
the matter up Immediately when l
came to congress, but felt sure that
there must be some explanation, or
our congressman would have long
since had the government take charge
of these Indians. 1t was gone into
very fully years ago, I think in
Hemphill's day, and the findings were
very clearly set forth, and the follow
ing is the explanation: All other In
dams, at least in the South, dealt di-
rectly with the national government,
surrendered their lands to the ma
tional government, in consequence of
the promise Of support, hence the
national government takes care of
them. The Catawbas, on the other
hand, made their treaty with the
state of South Carolina and surrend-
cred all land which they claimed, ex-
cept the present reservation which
they have in consideration of South
Cardinals contract to take care of
them. Hence the liability is the states
and not the national governments,
and your Uncle Sam has steadfastly
and finally put his foot down that

catawba Indians Serious
Problem.
To the Editor of The State:

To the Editor of The State:
Noting that there has been a num-
Der of recent articles in regard to
the Catawba Indians, also that there
has been a recommendation to cut
the appropriation that the general as
sembly has been making for them
each year to a small sum which
would be paid only to the aged and
infrm who are not able to provide for
themselves, and knowing that the
most of our citizens are like a certain
prominent senator ncw in the general
assembly who, when the writer ap-
reared before the finance committee
of the senate in order to convey to 1t
some information in regard to these
Indians, thanked the writer for hav-
ing come there and given them the
information and stated that he was
obliged to admit that while he had
been in the house and in the senate
for years and knew that an appro-
priation was made for the Indians, ne
hao no idea what it was for or any
! thing about it or them,s 81 thought
would write some of the facts as L
know them after seven years service
as their financial agent.
These Indians are segregated on
562 acres of the poorest, toughest
land in the state, in York county, on
what is known as the Catawba Indian
r~eservation,r in the River Bend Sec
ton of the county, on the banks OF
the Catawba river. This land was set
apart for them many years ago and
they were segregated on this without
any citizenship, right to vote, own
property in their own name, or any
thing of that kind as wards of the
state of South Carolina" and have re-
NAMED as such since 1t is true that
many of them have lett the reserVa-
ton and gone to other places in Or
der to be able to live, as it was ut
terly impossible for them to all make
a living on the reservation and in or
der to keep from starving they have
moved away. Some live in Rock Hill,
some in Columbia and other places.
The Indian is generally known as
being INDECENT, no ambition TO do any
thing, and, generally speaking, mo
account" But in the case of the Ca
tawba, while this is true to some de-
gree in regard to some of them, we
nevertheless have lots of white peo-
pie in our state that are on par with
the worst of the Indians. And, too,
what incentive would they have to
try to improve themselves when thew

Beauty Not Matter of Expense.

Beautiful grounds need not be ex-
nensiye. The loveliest flowers and
plants that ever grew are found In
the woods and along the banks Of
streams, in fence corners, and in fields
and shady hooks. They are yours for
the digging. What is rarer or prettier
than q bed Of wild violets and ferns
In q shady spot near the house? Plant
generously of perennials; so that they
will bloom and grow year after year
with little time and attention and give
stability to your landscape effects.

Willie Had a Reason.

Willie Hopkins is only ten years old,
but, strange to tell, he brushes his own
hair and washes his ears without
parental coercion. 1t must be admit
ted that Willie just started this most
uncommon practice within the last few
days. The young mans mother was
dumfounded when she walked into his
room and found him plastering down
his hair with a brush.
"You're q very good boy" she said
GLOW did you come to think Of brush
ing your hair and washing your face?'
Willie looked sheepish and then re;
piled: MARY Brown told me l wuz

Four Captured in
Gotham Man Hunt
Gang Seeking 100000 Re-
ported Hidden in Building
at Goth Street and 5th
Avenue.

New York, May H.-Four men
were arrested in lott building at
Twentieth street and Fifth avenue
today after the police had searched
more than nine hours for burglars.
All traffic was diverted from the
block and solid Gordon of officers
was maintained about it.
1t was the most spectacular man
hunt in New York for years.
Detectives crossed roofs into a
fourth-story window OF the building.
Suddenly they were attacked iii the
dark. They returned the FIRE.
Two men were caught on the
fourth floor. Two others, sliding
down the CREASED elevator cables,
were overpowered in the basement.
The men were believed to have
been seeking $4,000 reported to
have been stored in the building.
The detectives received tip more
than two weeks ago that crooks were
planning a raid on textile concerns
in the block.
In three minutes that elapsed from
the time the police smashed into the
ground floor, the crooks had disap-
peared, No trace of the band could
be picked up for several hours. Sew
