The new president Of the Woman's
National Democratic Club, Mrs. Ed
ward Browning Meigs. will be a
charming and efficient successor to
Mrs. Charles Sumner Hamlin, who for
the past two years has presided with
infinite grace and fairness over the
meetings of the club. And may one
add that this is saying mouthful
for Mrs Hamlin Is noted for her
devotion to the Democratic party and
all that it stands for. Her naturalness
and simplicity of manner has the
stamp Of We're de We're. or rather one
might say-to be literal-of a Van
Schaick-Pruyn of Albany, New York
Her father was the late John Van
Schaick Lansing Pruyn, prominent
lawyer and outstanding Democrat OF
his time
Mrs. Meigs is also well known to
Washington through her many civic
and charitable activities. She is &C
customed to presiding at meetings and
conferences and has an ease and cor
diality of manner that will be an
adjunct to the elegant Democratic
Club in New Hampshire avenue, which
has more of the atmosphere OF a
private house than club.
1t is Mrs. Meigs' purpose to carry
out many of the policies of the club
inaugurated under Mrs. Hamlins
regime The delightful get-together
dinners which Mrs. Edward Heating
is so tactful in arranging-in fact, she
has been largely responsible for the
cordial, hospitable air which prevades
the club-will be continued, and dis
tinguished visitors and speakers Will
be a part of the social activities. On
the 4th, 5th, 9Th, of April the Womens
Democratic Clubs of the States which
are afhiated with the National Club
will meet in Washington for series
Of conferences on matters and legis-
lation relating to the party and there
will also be series Of public dinners.

CURED long ago, before the Flatheads
had guns, or had but few Of them.
While the F7atheads we're encamped on
the MusseIshell river they we're at
tackled by a band Of Blackfeet war
rfoEs Skarmish fighting lasted through
two days. Although the Blackfeet had
q good supply of guns, they finally ex-
hausted their ammunition supply. Then
the F'latheads took a turn at aggressive
fighting. Their numerical strength
transferred to them the advantage
heretofore enjoyed by the Blackfeet Ia
their possession of guns. They got the
Blackfeet on the run and kept them
on the run out Of the country, killing
many Of them in the course OF the
pursuit.
The most distant points eastward at
tanned BY the F1atheads were on o few
occasions when they encountered the
Cheyenneg. Horses were stolen from
each other, and few Of each tribe
were killed. The most severe Of such
conflicts with the Cheyennes Is said
Ia have been not far northeast from
tte mouth Of the Little Big Horn. The
general condition Of the case indicates

with horse stealing Blackfeet about the
year 1910. The Pend d'Oreilles were on
their way from the westward to the
main F7athead camp in the Bitter Root
valley. They camped overnight at Fin
lay creek. Next morning, near the pres
ent Evaro, they encountered a band of
Piegan Blackfeet, Of superior numbers,
coming over hill. The Pend d'Oreilles
fell back into the Jocko valley, where
they were surrounded by the Piegans.
There we're but five guns among the
Pend d'Oreilles, while the Piegans had
/ guns In plenty. Some couriers got out
from the encircled Pend d'Oreilles and
fastened back to inform another band
OF their people who we're coming some
miles In the rear.
The warriors from the second band
hurried forward. When they came into
view the Piegans withdrew from the
scene. They were pursued, but the pur-
suit was failure. Two Pend d'Oreilles
and one Piegan were killed during the
battle.
In those days there was trading
post where Thompson Falls now is To-
Gated. It was fur-trader post Of the
Hudson Bay company, or Of a successor
Of that British Canadian concern. An
gus Macdonald, Scotch Canadian, was
the factor in charge. He was one Of
the many pioneer traders and trappers
who took an Indian wife, and there are
now many of his descendants among
the mixed breeds of the F1athead tribe.
Another fight in the Flathead coun-
try occurred during that era. In this
case also the Pend d'Oreilles happened
to be the local Indians met by raiding
Piegan Blackfeet. The Pend d'Oreil1es
involved consisted merely of a band of
Indian men hired by Macdonald to
care for herd of pack horses carrying
goods from the Thompson Falls post
for trade with the Flatheads on the
Bitter Root. Two Kanakas. regular
employees Of the Macdonald trading
post, were in charge of the expedition.
The encounter with the Blackfeet was
in the same vicinity Of the present
Evaro, where was the other battle be-
tween Blackfeet and Pend d'Oreilles.
Both Of the Kanakas were killed. But
all of the Pend d'Oreilles drivers of the
pack horses escaped. Furthermore, they
got all there horses and trading goods
away in safety. This happy result was
brought about by a reinforcement Of
Pend dOreilles who happened to be en-
camped near the conflict. Three of the
Blackfeet we're killed by the reinforce
ments, while the pursuers lost none.
The remainder OF the invading band
escaped over the mountains and kept
going toward the Blackfeet country.
Their foray doubtless had been mainly
for horses, and they failed to get any
of the trader goods, which they also
doubtless woulA have been glad to get.
However, they did take the scalpS Of
the two Kanakas.
This raid on his employees with the
killing of two Of his trusted men,
stirred Macdonald into offering q re-
ward Of 5000 for the scalp OF the lead
er Of that Blaclxfeet war party. The
leaders Indian name was Sata. There

PHOENIX BAPTIST CHURCH
CLOSES REVIVAL MEETING

The pastor, Rev. w. E. Denney,
with the Phoenix Baptist Church the
and Rev. J. E. Sexton began a revival
18th, of May which lasted day and
night until the 22nd. Early in the
meeting the pastor was called to his
fathers bed side, who was very i'll.
He did not get back to aid but little
while the meeting lasted. Rev. Sexton
did most of the preaching and much
of the personal work. His sermons
and exortations were powerful to the
condemnation of sin and to the awak-
ening of the lost and backslidden.
He was aided by Elders, Barker,
Patton, Caudill and Thomas. The
church and Christian workers in at
tendance were much revived and en-
couraged. Eight or more professed
conversion and joined the church. A
number who had back slidden claimed
restoration of their former place of
mind. The church and the entire at
tendance regret the pastor could not
be present during the entire meeting.

we did see what the sightseer usually
asks to see-Huey Long. From the
Senate galleries, we saw the Louisi-

and take seat in a chair we were
told was not his. He sat a few min
utes and stood up-with nobody pay
ing any attention to him except those
who were in the galleries preen-
ed himself by settling his tie, unbut-
toning and re-buttoning his coat, and
moved to another seat. He probably
moved all the afternoon for he moved
three times during our short stay.
And we were convinced that he is
more for showing off than for show
ing. We were disappointed that he
did not stage an oratorical or even
fistics fight, but evidently we were
there during one of his quiet spells.

CHAIN LETTER-Some wag has

current chain letters supposed to
make you rich if you send somebody
dime or dollar and pass the letter
to five friends: "In emitting the top
name from the list above, send this
person one raw oyster, carfully Sc
lected and packed in bushel basket.
In turn, as your name reaches the
top, on the sixth operation, by mental
calculation, you should receive 1885,
$50 oysters. The law of average says
that in this amount of oysters, there
should be one and 1882 pearls. At
the present market value this should
bring about 81, 563.51. Is this worth
an oyster to you? Explain it to five
of your friends who haven't any more
sense than you. String along with us
and you'll soon have string of

WHERE is IT?-More than sever
al interested parties in North Caro-
lima would like very much to know
the whereabouts of the Rayburn
Utilities bill, known to be somewhere
an Congress. The measure would give
the federal power commission UMPIRE
cedented authority over rates and
regulation of public utilities. A storm
of protests went in to Senator'S and
Representatives against the measure
and for a while it was making front
pages almost daily. But of recent
weeks little has been heard of it.
Many individuals using electric power
or having much Of their life's saving
in public utilities stocks have ex-
pressed great concern over the net
effect of passage Of the bill. The In
terstate Commerce Commission has
not helped North Carolina freight
