RECOLLECTIONS OF
SCOTLAND NECK 81
YEARS AGO
Rx< YNhnnaac IN H1ll
By Thomas n. Hill

Continued from yesterday
When [ lived in Clarksville
there were no boys Of my age;
therefore | had to look to New
town for my playmates and l
found them in Henry and Arthur
Nichols. Mr.. Buck Shields gang
of children were much older than
was; so were Herbert Hyman,
Weldon Hall, and Tom Fenner;
Barnes Hill also. Barnes never
was much Of a player. Henry
and Arthur Nichols and l play
| ed together a great deal; we
! would go swimming in Webb S
mill pond and in DR.. Hall
! branch, and on the way to the
! branch we considered it impo-
lite not to visit Mr.. Sam Hy-
mans watermelon patch and
swipe g big watermelon which We
would "plug" first to see if it
was ripe; then we would take
it to the creek with us, throw
it in the creek and after it was
cool we would "bust" it with
I our fists and eat it. Often, when
we would be in swimming, un-
mindful Of danger, some Of the
big boys, such as Joshua Nichols
and Walter Shields, would come
along and tie up our little shirt
waists and pants into hard knots ;
to make the knot the harder they
would first dip the clothes into
the creek, and then tie. No SCI
of teeth in tt be community could
undo the knots and many is the
! time | had to wait until dark
ness set in before I could go home
and when [ did go [ had nothing
en- except what I was born with.
We played with goats, Of which
| had about dozen; and when
| we would tire Of goats and want :
ed to be mischievous we would
wait till prayer meeting night at
the Baptist Church, then We
would amuse ourselves by chang
ing wheels on some buggy hitched
out in front of the church, or
changing the horses; if we would
find a stray dog nothing amused
us more than tying can filled
with little rocks Or SHOT to his
tail and watching him run.

RESULTS TTIT REMAIN
Are Appreciated by Scotland Neck
People


Thousands who suffer from back
ache and kidney complaint have tried
one remedy after another, finding on
ly temporary benefit. This is dis
couraging, but there is one kidney
medicine that has earned a reputat tion
for lasting results and there is plen-
ty Of proof OF its merit right here in
Scotland Neck.
Here is the testimony of one who
used Doan's Kidney Pills year ago.
and now makes his testimony even
stronger.
L. Wilkinson, blacksmith, Eighth
and Church Streets, Scotland Neck,
says: II was bothered by my kidneys
and had lame and aching back.
Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at
Whitehead Co.'s Drug Store, regula-
ted the action of my kidneys and re-
Ilieved the lameness and soreness in
my back
LASTING BENEFIT
Four years later, Mr.. Wilkinson
said: "I have had no occasion to use
| Doan's Kidney Pills for the past two
years. The cure they made for me
has been lasting. Another Of my
family has used Doan's Kidney Pills
for weak kidneys with good results. y

Halloween J0kerS
Do Much Damage.

Tuesday, October 31st was Hal
loween, and as usual the practical
jokers were very busy after night
fall. At the government school
property sidewalks were torn up,
gates torn from their hinges and
thrown away and much other
damage of a similar nature done.
Sidewalks in the village were also
torn up and distributed about
town. This is a practice that
should be stopped no matter at
what cost, it is usually the younger
element, who Should be at home
in bed, who are the guilty parties,
and steps should be taken to see
that they or their parents are
made to repair the damage done
or stand the consequences. In
this instance we understand that
the names of the guilty parties are
known and it quite likely that
they will be brought to account
for what they seem to think is
great fun-che wanton destruction
of property.

pending in the Congress which, if
it becomes law, would make this
possible. This would give to the
competaat class a sum of money
that would enable them to make a
use of it that would be helpful,
whereas per capita payment of
small amount means that it ex-
pended quickly-frequently fool
ishly-without doing anyone any
material good. l would hold the
shares due the incompetent In
dams, to be- expended in their
interests and to relieve distress
when in need. This would protect
them and assure them of being
cared for until such time as they
are able to take care Of themselves.

you come within the class of what
| consider competent. and that, if
you had what would represent a
cash share of your interest in the
Chippewa estate, you would prob
ABLY make good use of it, and you
would be better off than living in
hopes of occasionally receiving a
small per capita payment.
Il said to Representative Lar
son a few days ago what l now
say to you; namely, if a per capita
payment were to be made to the
Chippewa Indians at this time,
there would be as much or more
pressure and demand for another
payment in three months from
now as there is at present. | say
THE from having observed for
many years the effect of paying
out triba: funds in per capita pay
ments. Again l want to say that
Congress has the power to 'egis
late directing per capita Payment
to the Chippewa Indians if it so
desires, regardless of my attitude.
l shall, however, not change my
position regarding it. 49,.

Ny dear Sir: ..
I am in receipt of your letter
of the 18th inst, and note what
you say. 1t is quite within tho
power of Congress to legis)ate a1d
appropriate funds of the Chippe-
va Indians of Minnesota as it sees
st. independent of any recommen-
dation that may come from the
Interior Department. recognize
that the proceeds received from
the sale of land and timber of the
Ghippewas belong to them and
should be expended for their best
interests There are those who
insist that, under the terms OF the
1889 agreement, there can be no
distribution of the funds until the
expiration of fifty years after all
the allotments have been made.
As the sllotments have not yet all
been made, the fifty year period
has not begun to run. l do not
agree that there can be no distri I
button of the funds until the ex-
piration of so years after the al
lotments have been made as stated.
but believe it is within the power
of Congress to make . distribution
of the estate in such manner and
from time to time as it may deem
advisable. # =. 80 : r..
A per capita payment of a
small amount to Ipdians does very
little good to any of them. What
I would like to see is legislation
that would make it possible for,
the competent Indians to be settled
with and paid in full for what
their interest in the tribal estate
may represent in cash; and so |
favor the enactment. of bill now

WHERE MAINTENANCE
Responsibility FALLS

The question has been raised a
great many times recently as to whose
duty it is to maintain the state high
way. Especially was this question
brought out very forcibly when the
state road was in such horrible con-
dition during the breaking up of win
ter. Some contended that it was the
duty of the highway commissioners
to maintain it, while othere were of
the opinion that it was the duty of
the state after the road had been ac-
cepted by them.
In order to set all such contentious
and arguments at rest. the Genesee
News, Of that city, has consulted At
torney Thos. A. Feeney on the mat
ter and he says the law reads as fol-
lows:
Section 1877 of Chapter 81, Idaho
compiled statutes. 1919, reads: State
Highways: What Constitutes. All
constructed by the department of
public works, including highways con-
structed jointly with the assistance
of county or highway or good reads
district, are state highways and shall
be maintained at the sole expense of
the state, unless any part thereof
shall be or become a part of city or
incorporated village, in which event
the portion within the city or village
limits shall be turned over to and
maintained by the city or village.
Section 1880 of the same chapter
says: The term estate highways" as
used in this chapter shall be deemed
to include necessary cu1verts, sluic
es drains, bitches, WATERWAYS, enl-
bankments, retaining walls or brid-
ges.
Since there is no part of the state
road that passes through Genesee that
has been taken over by the city inde-
pendent of the state highway it is
very plain that tits UP to the state
to maintain it.
