The first distribution of the tribal fund, which will be made in October, will give each of the 187 Indians $27.75. These Indians have no disposition to mak money. They are more honest than the whites.

In the old days, oe tore tne war. some of tha Cherokees were Urge farmers and a few owned slaves, it was stated that on the part of some Indians there was racial pre- afford to unite on the Democratlo candidate in order to defeat Cannon. Such a defeat wculd render a. service lo the nation that no other district in the United Klates has the power to render. Speaker Cannon's defeat would, of course, come too late to help other Republican candidates for Congress.

V Several months bad elapsed since Governor Tryon had used the author ity . of his office to prorogue the Provincial Assembly from May 18th to November JOth, lite. By so doing, he had gained bis purpose fit prevent" Ing that body from taking any. steps to resist the enforcement of th stamp act. But this, did not allay the feelhig of the people against it. In many places In the province pub lic meetings wre held during the summer and early fall, at which the odious measure was boldly discussed and the determination to resist it openly declared. . The Governor was put much to his wits to handle the situation of af fairs, in order to stem the Ulde of pubUc sentiment, be used every re sort of the politician, being lavish In his entertainment and profuse in his attentions to the leaders of th people He maintained a home each In Wilmington and at Brunswick, and gave zreat dinners at both of them ; To bis discomfiture, however. he found the sentiments expressed to him by Colonel John Ashe to be firm ly fixed In the minds of the colonists. ETf Aw sa .AvtitHlala thAm VrA of lUtl avail; but he was determined to win them sooner or later. no had the utmost confidence in his ability to do so; althoughlt was whis pered that his hand was weakened k.. K that Vila nwn true sense of Justice was in favor of . the colo nists. ctn i that iirn- a dinner oar- ty one day In October at the Oover- nnf' Vf n.lnn at T llflftell from On the suburbs of Brunswick, a very un- looked for Incident occurrea. fn ka rm m nf interest that attaches to the incident there was a small boat crossing the river diagonal ly towards Brunswick. It held but one occupant, and he was a well- grown Doy.wltn stout mu". i " lh. Afln nriH Aflrr eves to catch sight of objects of interest along the river. Me was returning irum a. nmt with x nartv of fishermen over at the beach beyond the river. The time was in the afternoon Just be fore sunset A sailing vessel Nhad Just come to anchor out in the stream, and the sailors wer busy with her canvas. The chuckle of the pulleys floated over the water to the amaU boat with marked distinctness, ai through the vessel was a considerable distance away. The rower rested his oars a few minutes and watched the new arrival. Then he turned his prow toward the ship and made for her with steady strokes. For many months the sight of a merchant vessel had been rare In the Cape Fear; for the new law required all ships' papers to bear stamps, and the American colonists had determin ed to relinquish their commerce rath er than pay the tax. It was therefore a natural curiosity that sent the boy to the newly arrived ship. When he drew up to her, he ex changed words of greeting with the officers standing at the gunwale. He learned that she hailed from England, and was laden with salt for merchants of Wilmington and Brunswick. A he was speaking with the men at the gunwale, someone came out of the cabin and stood by them. Im mediately a look of surprise came to the boy, and the face of the man on deck brightened as he called out. Hello, little Bloody! Were you ex pecting me back?" It was Captain Simpson, and a great flood of amazement held Thom as Bloodworth by reason of the sight of him. In this an indefinable fear for his own personal safety played no small part He had suc cessfully avoided all suspicion of guilt In aiding the captain to escape, and he knew not what this return would mean for him. At the same time he was glad to see the captain, and told him of his pleasure in greeting him again. Thomas inwardly swelled v with many questions as to the meaning of the unexpected return of the duelist; but, being prudent, he did not ex press them In the presence of others. Nor was there need: for taptaln Simpson asked. "Will you take me ashore? I have a matter of business I desire to attend to at once." Thomas drew close to the Bhip. and Captain Simpson lowered himself Into the small boat. "LUtl Bloody," said he, giving him a hearty grasp of the hand. "I am glad to see you, for I have been thinking of you often. I thank you ajraln for what you did for tne in helping me out of prison. I am tired of playing the coward and evading Justice, if it ought to be meted to me for killing White c hurst last spring. I am going to surrender myself to Governor Tryon, and let the law take its course in regard to-me." "Why?" asked Thomas In great surprise. "Just to be a man," answered Simp son. "Were you sorry you killed him?" "Intensely. But It was largely accidental. I Intended to take my chances In the duel, and my striking him with the pistol was by reason of the advantage he tried to take over me. It is a cruel thing. th6ugh. to kill a man In that way. I wish I had never done it." "The court may not o hard with you," reflected Thomaa, "now since the Governor is trying to win tho favor of the people respecting the sump act." "Has he been angry at my escape? "Very." "Where Is the Governor this even- "At Ruesellboro, . dining everybody within reach." ' . "Men, women or children? Only men. It is rumored that a .vi. .uv. mmn9m will rtrtn b.A here! iiu mill . ' " ' and he Is trying to get them In good humor to receive th stamps, and to pay all the money they have to bu them." ....... t Simpson laughed at th boy's hu mor. Well." he said, "It Is an aus picious time 'to make my surrender. I shall go to the Governor's dinner nartv and nresent myself to his Ex cellency to-night" - - "And SO Snajl J, ;. responueu i nom as. Simpson looked surprised. "He has never found out that you helped me to escape?" "Never." - . . "Then, why should you inform on yourself now?" "If It will be manly for you to surrender, it will for m also." Captain Simpson looked him in the eye. "Tour metal has the right ring, my boy. Do what -you will. I hope all will go well with you. And by the way, has the Governor suspended any on els?" - "Tea, sir; at ott time or another, he has singled out every man In Brunswick, and In turn dropped him. K Is a great mystery to him. He thinks there was some deep-laid con spiracy." " , . The two laughed heartily. It was an amusing situation. . "Have you told anybody of what you did?" continued th Captain. , "No one." I "Well, little Bloody, this much I shall say: His majesty, the King of England, will losa a great admiral or J. UOWELJU a distinguished general if he does not enlist you in his service." ; J By this time they had reached the quay,, and ; . the twilight of the Indian summer day was settling upon river and forest and town. No man could be seen except a f ew 1 negTO slaves passing along the -streets; for nearly all the gentlemen were at din ner with Governor Tryon. There were. however, a number of children playing on the avenue leading up to the church, and" their happy laughter rang out merrily on tho sun air. , ' . Thomas mad fast" his "boat, and, taking from it a large bunch of fish, h and Captain Simpson started up town. "I wish to go past home.'J., uM Thomas "and tell motaer what I am going tq do. I want her to know everything. I have not ten oeiore that I could tell her, and I hop I was not wrong in failing to do so," t Thomas father was a soldier, en listed as lieutenant in a company employed in holding In check the Cherokee Indians In the western part of th province; and, being much away from home, K fell to Thomas to be a protector to his mother; and he tried to spare her all the care possible in her father lonely life. Con sequently, he had not told her of his contriving the escape of Captain Simpson. . .-v "Mother, I am back safe, called Thomas cheerily to. his mother from the gate. "I had a fine day, and this is what I have brought you a evidence of my sport" "H held up his bunch of fish. ' "And, mother," continued Thomas, "may I present to you Captain Simp son, of whom you have heard?" "Captain Simpson!" spoke sh " in great surprise; "I thought you had gone " "Indeed. I did go. For neatly a half year I have been in England in disguise. Now I have come back to let the courts deal with me a they list" The captain spoke lightly, sh If his purpose would Involve nothing seriouj. "He intends to surrender to Gov ernor Tryon to-night." added Thom as; "and since I aided him to make his escape last March, I shall present myself as the srullty one for whom the Governor has been In search." His mother paled at this sudden revelation; and it required much ex planation to make her realise tne truth about Thomaa Bursting into tears, she Anally told him to ao wnat he thought right, and sh would abfd the consequences to herself. It was a sad hour for Thomas, but having determined that he would make a confession, he proceeded to Russellboro for that purpose. In com pany with Captain Simpson. There was a rrand Illumination at the Governor's Mansion from bonfires of tar and llghtwopd. The gentle men were sitting upon the porches, smoking tobacco In pipes, and drink ing imported sack, of which there was a goodly store at Russellboro, After the custom of the day, they wore powdered wigs and queues, long coats of many colors, knee breeches with largo buckles, and low quarter ed shoes. It was, consequently, an Imposing scene upon which Captain Alexander Simpson and Thomas Bloodworth looked when they walked up the cedar avenue and approached the Governor's Mansion. The central figure of the party was the Governor himself, dressed elab orately in the red uniform of a col onel of the Queen's Guards. He moved about conspicuously among his guests, seeing that none of them lack ed entertainment. Simpson walked' deliberately -up to him. "Governor Tryon," he said, "I am Alexander Simpson, of whom you no doubt have a remembrance. I have come to offer myself for trial, to you, as representing his majesty's law." After his first glance of Intense surprise, Tryon straightened himself and assumed the stern look of a mil itary officer In the discharge of a se rious duty. "Where have you been, sir, these past months?" he demanded. "In England," answered the cap tain calmly. "Why did you escape from prison, and how did you get to England?" ' I had a desire to flee when the opportunity offered; and I took pas sage on a ship in the harbor." "You are very concise," said the Governor shortly. "Who aided you to escape, and what Is the name of the ship?" "I have offered myself for trial on account of the deed I committed, and do not think I should now be ques tioned as to such things. I trust your excellency will spare m further inquiries of th kind." There was a minute' pause, and Tryon turned and looked about upon his guests. He was a man who could control himself admirably, and he saw at once that he was making a mistake In displaying an attitude of antagonism toward Simpson. There were questions of public policy that were of more Importance than this one of personal feeling towsrd the captain. Hence, in a moment, his expression quickly changed, and he said with a half smile: "Captain, It shall be my duty later to make you a prisoner under escort; but for the present you are my guest, and all that 1 have IS before you." He looked again at his guests, as if to bask In the light of their approv ing faces. But he saw only the In dication of a sober interest "I helped him to escape," inter rupted Thomss Bloodworth at this Juncture. "If there Is any punish ment for iwbat, I did, I am here to take it." "What?" exclaimed" the Governor loudly. His great 'Surprise waa evi dent. Thomas related his movements on the night of March 27th In a calm manner that would permit tof no doubt as to the correctness of what he said. 'A tactful smile played upon th features of the governor, and he said graciously: "My boy I'll wager noth ing will be done to you. But you are worthy of better deeds than free ing his majesty's prisoners. Robert!" he called, and Robert Barnett came forward. 'Your friend . here is a hero. ' Take him within to the la dies, wher he may be worshiped." In the same month Captain Simpson stood trial and was acquitted, save for the1 branding of an "M," for man slaghter, upon the ball of his left thumb. What Influence Governor Tryon msy have exerted upon his trial will never be known. To be continued.) ; The Jewel Cotton Mills, of Charlotte. Manufacturers' Record.

His Opinion of His Fellow Man aa Deduced from Hard Experience. New Tork Sun. "Losing one' money," said th man' of fallen fortunes, "Is hot without Its, compensating comforts; for Instance, In the discovery of one's real friends. "When I was rich I never knew for sure whether a man, being rich, was drawn to me because I was rich also or whether, being poor, he was drawn to me because he thought I could help him I but It was easy to tell after I had lost my money. Th proudest gratification that I got then I found In the loyalty of my family. One and all they stood by me with a gentle sympathy and un faltering devotion that has continued to the present moment and that I know will never fall my strongest and most encouraging support. "And then I began to make discov eries about my friends, which were friends only when I could help them and which were friends through thick and thin; and I found friendliness to ' exist as a bedrock enduring quality in rich and poor alike. "There Is this to be said about the rich man and his money: When a man bas made money he hates to give It up. But I have known rich men who proved themselves stalwart stay ing friends Indeed; who gav though the chances of the money ever coming back to them If they thought of that at all must have seemed very slim; men who gav with a prompt readi ness that took all th sting out of th necessity of asking. -ith a willing ness that was of Itself most helpful and cheering. "And then while I have bad men ,nm ma for small debts which I was able to psy off only very slowly I have had men to wnom I owea oiss debts say to me and this out of sheer kindness and friendliness to me to take away from me a burden-: 'For get It. old man; don't worry yourself that we'll lust simoly cross that off the books snd call It square.
