ASHES PROVIDE CLUE
TO INDIAN VILLAGE SITE

TIE the layman the skill with which
the archeologist discovers long-buried
sites and villages partakes of the magic
of necromancy. In recent excava-
tions near Ackia, Miss, in connection
with research, it Is hoped to locate
the site of the Indian village of Ackia,
where on May 26, 1885, the Chicka-
saws, with the aid of English troops,
repulsed attack by French soldiers
under Bienville and their Choctaw
allies.
The Chickasaws, like many other
Indians, built their fires in the mid
die of their huts. Hence, a layer of
ashes was eventually deposited which
discolored the soil. The keen eye Of
the trained archeologist is quick to
detect the rings of darker soil and
pick up the clues of the early village.

Soil Checks
OF $l23,O41
DueCounty
$4,000 Worth AL
ready Written and
Expected to Arrive
Here Any Day

Tobacco growers of Vance county
will share with other farmers and
probably receive the majority of the
payments aggregating $123,041 due
from the Federal AAA for coopera-
ton in the 1896 soil conservation pro-
gram and remittances in that amount
are expected to be received here very
shortly, it was announced today Ky
County Agent ]. w. Sanders, director
of crop control activities in this
county.
Mr.. Sanders reported today that he
was in the N. c. Extension Service
offices in Raleigh on Friday, and was
informed there that advices had been
received from the AAA in Washing
ton that 967 checks for an aggregate
amount of $4,000 had already been
written and were ready to be put into
the mails in the national capital for
growers here. Mr.. Sanders said these
were expected to be received here any
The county agent estimated that
approximately $500 growers in this
county would share in the $123041 dis
tribution, to be paid in 993 applica
tons filed and approved. The number
will include landlords and tenants.
Cost of administering the soil pro-
gram in 1886 amounted to $6,392, Mr..
Sanders said. This represents salaries
to the girl clerks in his office and
amounts paid to committeeman and
their assistants who made inspection
and checks last summer and fall to
determine the degree of cooperation
given by participants in the soil pro-
gram.
Since tobacco is the principal
money crop of the county, and much
of the acreage that went into the CO.
operative program was withdrawn
from tobacco production, weed grow
ers will be among the principal bene-
ficaries of the imminent distribution
of cash.
