This waa a time when moat of the i epidemic daaaafe had already been done to the Intiaat of cartcra North i Carolina, rmilisg la at leak aa 80 percent decaeaae la population. It was i ' a time when Native American cultures 1 J were changing rapidly ia the face of I ?population loss, mergers with other ; Indian culture*, and increasing i contact with European culture. But it i was also a time at which it was ; . possible for Lawaoa to record saaae of i ; the remainiag aspects of traditional I f pnaammnmamnmm Siouaas who are known to have had cleat WtMlnas with the Cheraw provides one of the few windows we we read Lawsou's description of marriage practices among Carolina's Eastern Siouaas in 1705 we aae coating aboat as dose a> we may ever get to Cheraw marriage lawsou tells us little aboat the ?pacific ceremonies involved in weddings. In fhet he says that ahhongh he had bean told by other whiles aboat "a great deal of Pons and CmmamjT being essential to Indian marriages, tat his time among the Iadiaas he never saw any real evidence of it He implies that there ems not a ceremony at the actual wedding. What he did see in several tribes was a pattern of the social and economic steps which had to be taken when a couple got married "When any young Indian has a mind for such a Gkl to his Wife, he. or some one for him, goes to the young Woman's Parents, if living; if not, to her nearest Relations; where they make Offers of the Match betwixt theCOopie. The Relations reply (hey will consider of it, which serves for a sufficient Answer, till there be a second Meeting ?boot the Marriage, which is generally brought into Debate before all the Relations (that are old people) on both Sides; and sometimes the King, with all his great Men, give their opinions therein. If it be agreed on. and the young Woman approve thereof... the Man pays so much for his Wife; and the handsomer she is the greater Price the bears. Now. it often happcaa, that the Mm has not so much of dtear Money ready, at ha it id pay for his Wife; hat if ihey know him 10 be a pood banter, tad had he caa raise the aaa agreed for ia soree few Moons. or ?ay bale time thoy agree, she shall go with Mb. at betmb'4, hoc he is mm to bare any Knowledge of her (ill the utmost Payment it discharg'd; all which it punctually observ'd. *The Marriages of these Indians 1 He no farther binding than the Man red Woman agree together Either of hem has Liberty 10 leave (be other...; yet whosever takes the Woman (hat was another Man's before...mutt 1 sertaialy pay to her former Husband ! whatsoever he gave for her. Nay, if j the be a Widow, and her Husband died i n Debt, whosoever takes her to Wife ? jays all her Husband's Obligations, , hough never so many. Yet the Woman j s not required lo pay anything (unless , the is willing) that was owing from her < Husband, so long as she keep Single." '? ' Thus from reading Lawsoo it J ieems that once a couple decided they , wanted to get married, the traditional , way of doing it among the Eastern tiouan nations was as much a social < ind economic exchange at anything. j f you wanted to get married, and you , mid afford it, and all the elders and j elatives approved, then you got I named. If you wanted to separate, all m had to do was move out. Children Jways went with the mother, being nembers of their mother's clan. But narrying a woman who had been narried before, especially one who ad beat married to a man with debts, ould be an expensive proposition.

My guess is Aey are not back/The emotional high they reached against Kansas City in Sunday 's win over the Chiefs is not again reachable. They "peaked" in one game loo many. The 44'ere "peaked last week against the Giants and they could not perform against Dallas in Sunday's loss. Joe Montana could not perform at the same peak he displayed in the three Super Bowls he played in with the 49'ers and won. He probably should quit while he is still healthy after suffering a concussion in Sunday's game against Buffalo His "back up" Roger Craig looked better Old football players never die they just fumble away. He was great as long as he was young, probably one of the greatest. This principle-retire when you are ahead has been hard for so many champions Just to give up that talent is almost to hard to do for most of them. lfthe Bills manage to win Sundays Super Bowl against a superior Dallas team and quarterback Troy Aikman. it will be the upset of the Century. The odds makers give Dallas a 20 point idvantage. to win. As much as I would like Buffalo to win. I believe their peak was spent against Kansas City. The phenomenon of regression is just too much to overcome I said last week the 49'ers spent heir wad against the Giants and that Sills would gun sling the Chiefs It tappened What's up. comes down uid what goes down comes up That's he way the Dixie Doodle goes. Ah iem Pediatric Pointers By JOSEPH T. BELL, MD - ? -- - ? .! So maay tunes during the winter months I we kids coming into clinic with sore throats. Most of these kids have viral illness, and of course, sometimes it turns out to be Strep throat. Oneofthew viral illnesses that can cause sore throat and tonsillitis is infectious mononucleosis, commonly known as "mono." Mono isa contagious illness caused by the Epstein- Barr virus This disease is seen in all parts of the world The virus is passed from person to person through the saliva (It is sometimes called the "kissing disease".I and it can be detected in saliva up to six months after the illness. The time of contact with the virus until a person becomes sick can be from 30 to 50 days The most common symptoms of infectious mono include fatigue, fever, sore throat with pus on the tonsils and enlarged neck glands. Occasionally a patient will also have spots on the roof of the mouth or swoueu. puny eyeum While tbe symptoms of mono cm le mild, the recovery period may fc long Fatigue, which seems to % especially common in the teenage patients, may last from weeks to months Like for most viral illnesses, the treatment for most cases of mono Is simply rest fluids and Tylenol for pain of fever Some of the more severe cases may require asteroid prescribed by adoctor. We have mentioned in an earlier article these patients mdy have an enlarged spleen during t|)e illness, so avoiding contact sports, such as football, is a good idea. I should mention also that I do * occasionally see an unfortunate pari<$t who has mono patient with a Strep throat infection on the tonsils as well \ These patients will of course need an antibiotic Well, that 's all on mono We'll see you next week. ? \ i . I ^ou I Christ's sacrifice was in no sense intended to appease an angry deity. Rather it was God offering himself. "God so loved . ..that he gave": and the sharing in this sublime transaction of all three Persons of the blessed Trinity is revealed in the beautiful words: "Christ. through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God" (Hebrews9:14) Moreover. Christ's sacrifice was altogether voluntary. "The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many" (Matthew 20:28) "Nomantaketh it from." He said concerning His life, "but I lay it down of myself' (John 10:18). "Our Savior Jesus Christ." said Paul, "gave himself for us. that he might redeem us from all iniquity" (Titus 2:13. 14). "He offered up himself' (Hebrews 7:27). He. "gave himself a ransom for all" (I Timothy 2:6). "He gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father "(Galatians 1:4). Here indeed was perfect love, made manifest t>v an act of utter self sunemici gikisumiitssion.mew-tmng : yielding up of life that others might live What the Incarnation cost God tlje Father we shall never know. How much it meant for God the Son to die for the human race must also remain a mystery. Even the angels do opt understand it; and it will hie the thence of endless discussion and wonderment through all eternity < 1 Peter 1:11,12). Nevertheless the results are clear. God "hath made him to be sin for us. who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him' (2 Corinthians 5:21). "Christ redeemed us from the curj: of the law. having become a curse for us" (Galatians 3:13 RSV). Have you ever wondered what the curse of the law is'' What was it that God paid this tremendous price for? ^ The curse of the law is not the keeping of it. but rather the result of i|. A The curse from which Christ redeemed us is the curse of death. This is the second death eternal separation from our loving God What a wonder thit God would go to such lengths to keep us from suffering eternal separation from Him.

I don t see UNC' s lossesdue to anything except one the health of Donald Williams Last year's MVP of the Final Four missed 14 straight shots over the course of two games His sore foot is to blame Williams can't get his legs in the shooting motion and frequently has the ball on line, but short The foot will eventually heal and Dead eye Donald will return to his previous form Until then. Carolina needs to find another three point threat to take the pressure off Montross and Salvador.. As Dizzy Dean once said. "Them scientists say there's no such thing as a curve bail.
