Ohio Indian Mounds to
Be Explored This Summe,

Columbus, Ohio.-Investigation Of
the activities and mode Of living Of
prehistoric man I'm Ohio O thousand
years ago will be resumed In June by
the Ohio State Archaeological and His
:torical society.
Under the personal supervision Of
DR.. w. @. Mills, curator Of the Arch
geological museum, thorough e4plora-
ton of the Hopewell group OF prehis-
.toflc mounds northwest Of Chillicothe.
Ohio. is planned.
This group of mounds is at least
1000 years old, Doctor Mills believes.
and was built by the ancestors Of the
.aborigines found In Ohio by the first
white men to penetrate into the wilder
ness. These prehistoric Inhabitants IN
some respects showed a high state Of
civilization .....
Earlier theories that these early In
habitants Of the Buckeye state were
addicted to making human sacrifices
have been exploded, Or. Mills declares.
Previous Investigation OF other
mound groups, notably the Mound City
group Just north Of Chillicothe, which
was finished last summer, has revealed
that these early dwellers used copper.
silver. gold and iron for utensils. i'm
plements, ornaments and other pur.
poses. The iron was meteofic iron,
which, being malleable, they fashioned
into many useful things. Copper was
used for ornaments and pins. These
prehistoric men also knew how to USE
dowel pins skillfully to hold things TO-
gether which they had made. They
have left drills and chisels as test1-
mony of their mechanical skill, and
obsidian has been found in theil
mounds.
A pearl necklace valued at $4,000
found last summer by chance, Is thu
most valuable relic discovered 50 far.

MlToANl, NlllE Of INDIAN
PRINCESS WHO SAVED SMITH
History Student Finds That Po-
cahontas Was Nickname.

New York-What was the name Of
the. Indian princess Of early colonial
days who saved Capt. John Smith from
executioni : -.. a..
"Pocahontas" would be the answer
from almost any American school child
versed In American history.
: And Wrong would b the retort Of
II 81. Leech Of Greenwich, Conn, who
has started a movement to have his,
tory textbooks altered In their stories
Of Americas most famous native
princess.
Stirred by recent reports Of a search
IN London for the Indian princess
grave Tor the purpose Of having hez
body brought home after nearly thres
centuries, Mr.. Leech made a study OF
old historical sources, and says he has
found that "POcahontas" was merely
the nickname or little name" coined
by her father, the powerful King Pow,
hatan, In moment Of tenderness. II
means little tomboy." The princess
real name, Mr.. Leech declares, was
"Natoaka."
OF more than a dozen prominent ed
ucators whom Mr.. Leech wrote con-
corning his discovery. It was news to
all save one, he said, The one was
Harris Hart, superintendent Of public
instruction Of the state Of Virginia
who wrote Mr.. Leech that Pocahontas
had been recognized by her real name
Of "Matoaka" In her native state, al
though most folk even there chung I'd
the diminutive "Pocahontas."
Among the authorities MIR. Leech
cites 10 document written In the
script Of William Strachey, secretary
Of the Virginia colony, who arrived
with Lord Delaware in 1910. He
wrote:
"Pocahontas, or Matoaka, the daugh'
ter Of Powhatan, is married to a dis
Greet English gentleman. Master Rolfe
after she had renowned idolatry and
been baptized"
Strachey added that Pocahontas was
the little name" given to children II
accordance with an old Indian custom
although she was called Matoaka al
more ripe years"
Mr.. Leech also cited the inscription
on painting by Simon de Passe, done
shortly after she had made her tri
umphai entry into England in 1915 al
John Rolfe's wife. The Inscription
reads:
"Matoaka, alias Rebecca Cher bap
tisnal name}. daughter Of the power
full prince Of Powhatan, emperor Of thu
Virginias."

FRIDAY LAST DAY
FOR REGISTERING
I'm ORDER TO VOTE
Only One More Day in Which to
Qualify for Voting. Help Select
Our Public Officials. Numbers
Unregistered Here.

Friday, July 9th is the last day
in which one may register in order
to vote in the Democratic primaries
this year.
The date of the general election
is Tuesday, November 9th.
That means that unless you are
already registered, you have only
one more day in which to qualify.
All women who are 21 years
of age or over, or otherwise elegible
are entitled to vote.
There are hundreds of women in
Rankin County who have not regis
tered. Possibly they have been
backward in this because many OF
them did not favor woman suffrage.
But that question is now settled,
and, under our present laws, it Is
the duty of every man and woman
who is over 21 years of age or will
be II before November 6, 1929, to
register and take part in the Sc
lection of our public officials.

HOUSE SHORTAGE
SITUATION GROWS
WORSE EACH DAY
Few More Residences Would Re-
lieve Situation. Number of People
Seeking Homes. Convenient Lots
Available.

The demand for homes in this
city has become a serious problem
and a few new residences would
relieve the situation considerably.
In many cases two families are
forced to live in the same house,
caused from the lack Of available
houses. A number of citizens have
been looking for homes here who
would be great help to the town
if a home could be found in which
to place their families. There are
numerous pretty lots in town, on
which neat homes would not only
attract home seekers but would In
crease the value of the property,
and relieve the situation.
A town cannot thrive and grow
unless the citizens owning property
in it will either build houses for
rent or sell the property to people
who would build homes.
Every available house is occu-
pied in this city and unless more
homes are built we cannot hope for
the town to build up.

HOLD WHITFIELD
RALLY AT COURT
HOUSE MONDAY
Organize Whitfield Club to Foster
His Candidacy. Major Henry
Elected Chairman. Mesdames
Collier and Fox Secretaries.

A meeting of Henry Whitfield S
friends and supporters was held at
the court house Monday morning at
8 O'clock for the purpose of forming
Whitfield Club to foster Mr..
Whitfield's candidacy for governor.
Major Pat Henry was elected chair
man and Mesdames Roy Fox and
Harris Collier were named Secre-
tarieS.
Major Henry made a short talk
enumerating Mr.. Whitfield's squal1-
fications for governor, after which
the following resolutions were read
and adopted:
Be it resolved that the whitfield
Club" of Rankin County is organic
ed for the purpose of advancing the
candidacy of HI. l.. Whitfield for
governor of Mississippi.
We know him to be mentally,
morally and physically capable and
well equipped for the duties of this
important office and take great
pleasure in commencing him to those
who have not had the opportunity
to know him so well as we do.
Born fifty fivea-years ago in Ran
kin County when this country was
suffering from the ravages of the
late Civil War, he found it neces-
sary to work Oh the farm when he
was a mere boy, but he did his
work faithfully and well and by
hard work and close economy, he
managed to educate himself and he
has never forgotten the principles
of energy and economy. He has
never been idle or eXtravagant, and
is always ready to do his part in
life.
At this critical time when there
is such great need for wise Legisla-
ton, splendid executive ability, and
the strictest economy in the expen-
diture of public money, we regard
Henry Whitfield as eminently fitted
to discharge the duties of the GOV
ernor's office.
His life is above reproach and
the greatest tribute that can be
paid any man is the great esteem
in which he is held by the thou
sands of fine young women who had
the opportunity to know him best.
While it is being urged against
him that he is not a lawyer, we
respectfully submit that the people
of Mississippi are more concerned
now in having a strong, clean man
for governor than they are in having
lawyer for that office.
We commend Henry Whitfield tC
our fellow citizens as the next gov
ernor of Mississippi with all con-
fidence in his honor, his integrity
his fairness, and hs ability.
Colonel Sidney McLaurin made
the motion that the persons desiring
membership in the club would give
their names to the secretaries. One
hundred and ten members were en-
rolled.
A motion was made and carried
to organize Whitfield clubs in each
voting precinct of Rankin County
and Major Henry named the fol
lowing campaign committee to at
tend to this: J. r. East, Lewis s
Nav, Mrs. O. l.. Simmons, Mrs
Myra Jackson and Mrs. Q. e
Martin. This committee was in
structed to solicit members and tC
get everyone who has not resigter-
ed to do so on or before July 9th
After a very enthusiastic meeting
at which every member promised
to work for Mr.. Whitfield, the
club adjourned to meet at the cal
of the chairman.
