Strange Blending 'Cof Indian
and White Their School at
Pates Their Characteristics
and Some Types of the Race.
Col F. A. Olds in Charlotte Obseiver.
Col. F. A. Olds, of Raleigh,
attended the commencement of
the Croatan Normal School at
Pates in May and gathered ma
terial for an interesting and val
uable contribution to the history
of the Croatan Indians of Robe
son county. Col. Olds' article
appeared in The Charlotte Obser
ver of the 21st inst. It will re
pay careful reading and will help
one to a better understanding of
this interesting people. Owing
to the length of the article it is
necessary to publish it in install
ments which will appear in sev
eral subsequent issues of The
Robesonian. Editor.
I shall never forget the very
curious sensation I experienced
as I stood in a wagon in the cen
tre of more thon a thousand of
the Croatans, at their Normal
School at Pate's, in Robeson
county, and spoke to them in
May. Just a month before I had
been at Roanake Island and at
that classic spot, Fort Raleigh,
and had gone to the edge of the
bluff, and standing on the crest
of a sand-dune there, between
two wind-tossed live oaks, had
looked out across the yellow wat
ers of the narrow sound at the
banks beyond, which separate
the sound from the sea, and look
ing further eastward yet, had
seen the heaving water ot the
ocean, stretching three thousand
miles away and more, towards
that England for which the de
serted, lonely and terror-strick
en third colony of Sir Walter
Raleigh must have yearned so
long and so hopelessly, in the
closing years of that fateful ex
periment at settlement which
the great Knight made in this
State of ours.
A STRANGE BLENDING.
As I looked into the faces of
one of the most attentive au
diences possible and saw that
strange blending of Indian and
white, my mind went back
through the mist of years and
there came the reflection that
there were no stranger people on
the continent than those before
me.
The Croatans owe to one man,
Hamilton McMillan, their status
in North Carolina; their status
which forbids inter-marriage ex
cept among themselves; which
makes them a tribe, and in a
way the wards of the State; just
as the Cherokees of the Eastern
Band, in the mountain region,
who have about the same num
erical strength, are the wards of
the Nation. The Cherokees.
however, have had far more
done for them than have the
Croatans.
These Croatans were found by I
the earliest people who pushed
up into North Carolina north
ward from the Charleston settle
ment to be a blend of Indian and
English; to have extremely neat
houses though of logs; extraor
dinarily good roads for that pe
riod; well-kept yards, and to
have many peculiarities of Old
English speech. Ever since that
time those peculiarities have ex
isted, and they stand broadly out
now. In fact the Croatans are
marked as a peculiar people.
No white man on earth knows
them nearly so well as Hamilton
McMilian, of Red Springs, who
when in the Legislature of 1887
brought about their official re
cognition by the State, securing
a small appropriation for the nor
mal school and giving them abso
lutely separate schools, under a
distinct system. The first nor
mal school superintendent for
them was Mr. Stewart. In more
recent times their schools have
been directly under the charge
of John W. Duckett, of the de
partment of public instruction,
and, thanks to the energy of
their friend, Senator N. A. Mc
Lean, the appropriation tor the
normal school has been increased
to $1,250 annually, though this
is not sufficient for the purpose.
ROUTE TO INDIAN COUNTRY.
This much by way of preface.
The route into this Indian coun
try runs through the fertile sec
tion east of Laurinburg and the
lands were found as flat as a
floor, with very dark soil and
with streams which have all the
clearness marking those which
traverse the cypress and juniper
region.
That part oi the state has
many characteristics of extreme
eastern North Carolina and these
Indians, when they originally re
moved from the mainland, in
what is now Hyde county and
thereabouts, must have found
the section very home-like indeed.
It was night when the train reach
ed Pembroke and in the early
morning ot a periect aay ine
study of these people began. An
artist was along, not with pencil,
but with the truer camera to fix
impressions forever. It was
found that Pembroke, a rather
straggling little village, had its
Croatan side, with a row ot stores
all kent bv people of that race
and patronized by them and
Croatans were seen here, there
and everywhere. Pates was less
than two miles away and we
went there by train, meeting Mr.
R. W. Livermore, whe has been
the leading business man there
for 25 years, and who likes and
is liked by these people. He
gives them a very fair character
indeed. A good proportion of
them are land-owners, and as a
race they are industrious. He
has the names of hundreds of
them upon his books, and says
they are as good payers as the
whites. It was interesting to
look over his books and see the
long array of English names, so
many of which were those on
the roll of Sir Walter Raleigh's
colonists.

READ ROBESONIAN BUSINESS BUILDERS
THE NORMAL SCHOOL.
It was a short walk along the
railway track to the normal
school, a building half unpainted
and standing on the edge of a
pine grove, with a church to one
side, and in the rear one of the
public schools of this race, which
is so thickset in the country of
which Pate's is the centre, for,
in a small radius the bulk of the
Croatans live. In the school
were gathered the students, about
70 in number, and the.r tints ran
all the way from the deep copper
color ot the Indian to almost a
perfect white. Beautiful hair
and extremely hne eyes were
the rule and not the exception
and they carried themselves well.
In a little talk the writer intro
duced himself and told the pur
pose of his visit, which was to
see them in their home and
school life, photograph them and
talk to them about their past and
their future. They were very
kind m their reception and pres
ently Preston Locklear, a very
striking type of their people,
drove up in his buggy andwemade
ready to make a trip through their
settlements. Locklear explained
that his name had become corrupt
ed from Lockyer, which is very
distinctly English. We got pict
ures of the house, or rather two
houses, occupied by Mr. Jacobs
hear the school, the people being
of the pronounced Croatan type
the house being extremely wel
built of logs, with a wonderfully
clean yard of shining sand, with
abounding shrubbery and trees,
and with a well curbed with
cypress log and having an old
fashioned and long sweep. Mr,
Jacobs mother is the widow of
one of the oldest of the Meth
odist preachers.
The next place visited was the
home of Harriet Graham, a cozy
little cabin, with a garden adjoin
ing, the house of logs, and the
furniture all hand-made, and the
surroundings looking very Indian
like indeed. As guides there
went with us two Croatan girls,
and one of these stood up with
Locklear to be photographed, be
ing a perfect tppe of the Indian.
Locklear said his son was a
doctor and had been out in the
Indian Territory and was at once
recognized by the Indians there
as being of their race of people.
He said his son had graduated at
Baltimore. While we were pho
tographing a Croatan woman
came over from her cabin nearby
and when asked to get in the
group, pulled her sunbonnet more
closely around her face and hur
ried away. Locklear said she
was frightened. She was the
only one who gave us any trouble
in this respect, except Rhoda
Lowery, who will be told about
later on.
WASHINGTON LOWERY.
The third place visited was the
most striking of all; this being in
the home of the venerable Wash
ington Lowery, or Lowrie,
known far and near among his
people as "Uncle Wash." His
home, built of logs like the rest,
embraces several buildings, and
there was a porch of a very
unique design, also of logs. The
old man was in bed, partially
paralyzed, but he talked very
well indeed. He had a good
deal to say about his people and
said he had heard his "feyther"
and "grand-fey ther" speak over
and over again about their hav
ing come from Roanoke Island.
He said there was no doubt about
the origin of his people, and seem
ed to be very proud of it indeed.
He referred to the fact that he
had been out in the Indian Ter
ritory a good many years ago
and said he had looked into the
question of citizenship or tribe-
ship there and that the Indians
had recognized him as of their
people, but that their chiefs
wanted his papers to show
whence he came. "Uncle Wash"
posed for his photograph in the
doorway ot his house. He was
seated in a home-made chair, the
seat of which was of cowskin
with the hair on, and all about
inside and out wrere home-made
furniture and appliances, old
time things, spinning wheels,
looms, etc., and his wife brought
out homemade cloth for winter
and summer use. Her name is
Katherine and some of the cloth
of jeans, brown in color, which
she had made, she said she had
dyed with walnut leaves. Then

All Citizens Should Feel Under
Obligations to Commissioners,
Whose Service is Out of all
Proportion to Compensation
Received Presen t Board
Should be Re-elected.
To the Editor of The Kobeaoniun.
Dear Sir, I was glad to see in
Thursday's issueof your paper the
announcement that the present
board of county commissioners,
would be willing to serve the
people of Robeson county as com
missioners another term.
I am of the opinion that no
county in the State of North
Carolina has a better or more ca
pable board of commissioners
than Robeson county has at
this time. Each member of the
board is a man of strictly moral,
upright character, good judg
ment and discretion, ability and
capacity to manage financial af
fairs successfully.
I am sure that all citizens of
Robeson county, if they knew
the time and attention given to
county matters by the commis
sioners, would feel under obliga
tions to any board of county com
missioners, on account of the
time and attention given to the
affairs of the county. The office
is one that receives no pay
worthy of mention, and 1 b usual-
y nlleo by men who sacrifice
their personal affairs in order
to give attention to county mat
ters, and not in the case of any
board has it been more a matter
of fact than in the case of the
present board. These men re
ceive barely enough to pay their
expenses of attending the meet
ings, and in leaving their own
homes and affairs they do
so to the neglect and delay of their
own business matters. When
the idea of pay is thought of in
connection with the office of coun
ty commissioner, it is a wonder
that men who are capable can
be gotten to accept the office.
I am of the opinion that the time
is not far distant when Robeson
county will have to follow some
other counties in respect to the
pay of county commissioners for
services rendered. For instance,
I would mention that the chair
man of the board of commision
ers of New Hanover county is
paid one thousand dollars per
annum for his services. I do
not know as to the pay received
bv the other members of the
board, i mention tnis as a,,con
trast to the pay received by the
members of our board of com
missioners.
I have not heard of any other
men being mentioned as candi
dates for this office. The present
board has about completed a mag
nificent court house, which will
have to be furnished with seat
ing conveniences and other ne
cessities. I am sure this will be
done by this board so as to har
monize with the splendid building
they have erected.
I take pleasure m saying to any
citizen of Robeson county who
does not know these men, that,
in mv opinion, five better or more
capable men could not be select
ed in Robeson county to consti
tute the board of county commis
sioners than those now compos
ing the board, viz: J. W. Carter,
A. R. McEachern, C. A. Oliver,
A. L. Bullock, D. S. Alderman.
As a citizen of the county, I
feel under obligations to these
men whose names are above
written on account of the atten
tion given to county matters, as
members of the board of commis
sioners. Very Respectfully,
R. D. Caldwell.

against The Charlotte Observer
for publishing a news item m re
gard to the plamtitt was tried in
Rockinsrham Superior Court at
Wentworth last week and the
jury returned a verdict at mid
night Saturday night which was
rather ludicrous. Its verdict
was that the charges out of
which the suit grew were true
and that the defendant was due
the plaintiff the sum of $5,000.
Court convened Sunday morn
ing to take the verdict, and Judge
Ward set aside the issue giving
the plaintiff $5,000, and a new
trial was awarded on the issue
of damages. This is a victory for

A Distinct Agricultural Industry
Robeson and Bladen Coun
ties Have Vast Areas of Soils
Suitable to the Rasing of Gar
den Truck Estimated Profits
on an Acre in Strawberries.
"A day will come when the
earth will be transformed, when
man shall offer his brother not
bullets nor bayonets, but richer
grains, better fruits, fairer flow
ers." The above quotation adorns
the front of a leaflet which
Mr. J. W. White, of Ports
mouth, Va., general industrial
agent of the Seaboard Air Line
Railway, is distributing through
out the country. It sets forth
the advantages afforded in this
section for truck farming, and
contains the following interest
ing information:
Truck farming in the United
States has been recognized as a
distinct agricultural industry for
a period of fifty years. The in
creasing population of cities and
a consequent demand for a
greater quantity and larger va
riety of vegetables at all seasons
of the year, the building of many
thousand miles of new railways
have given this industry an
impetus which has caused it to
develop with remarkable rapid
ity throughout the South, where,
from late winter to early autumn,
thousands and thousands of
acres are under cultivation to
supply Northern markets with
fruits and vegetables, there be
ing hardly a Northern city of
any size which is not receiving
its out ot season garden truck
By the use of ventilation, refrig
eration, speed and quick deliv
ery railroads are enabled to place
truck on .Northern markets in as
good condition as when it left the
Southern farm, even though a
journey of thousands of miles be
necessitated.
There are vast areas of suita
ble soils in the South which are
well adapted to the raising of
garden truck and which will un
doubtedly ultimately be placed
under cultivation, but there is
hardly any section offering great
er promise than that in Robeson
and Bladen counties, North Car
olina, served by the Seaboard Air
Line Railway.
These two counties are fast
coming into prominence as truck
and early vegetable producers.
This industury was, a few years !
ago, of so little consequence as to
receive little or consideration. It
has, however, grown to be one
of such magnitude as to rank
among the formost as a revenue
producer.
The adaptability of the lands
and the climatic conditions make
the section under discussion ideal
for early vegetables. For many
years people held to the old cus
tom of raising cotton and tobac
co, placing their entire depen
dence therein. They will continue
to produce these two necessary ar
ticles, but the extensive acreage
formerly devoted to their use has
gradually been decreased by the
encoachment of the early vege
tables, particularly strawberries.
A few years ago a small colony
located in the Northwest, was in
duced to migrate to eastern
North Carolina and begin the
cultivation of strawberries. Their
start was made on a very small
scale, but the adaptability of the
country became so apparent that
the acreage was rapidly increased
until today we find many thou
sand acres devoted exclusively
thereto. These berries mature
at a period when Florida, Geor
gia and South Carolina have fin
ished their shipments, and
about three weeks ahead of the
Norfolk markets. Good prices have
always been obtained and almost
without exception the growers
have amassed wealth.
In the section described along
the line of the Seaboard large
areas of land containing a black,
rich soil still remain uncultivated.
By reason of proximity to the
Gulf Stream an ample and rea
sonable rainfall is generally as
sured. Under these influences
farming, and especially trucking,
can be carried on profitably. Ev
ery variety of early vegetables is
grown, but the greatest success
has been in the culture of straw
berries, while watermelons, can
taloupes, asparagus, lettuce and
Irish potatoes have also been
great revenue producers.
Persons who have had any ex-
patience in tnis line oi iarming
quickly acquire the methods, and
with all new settlers the straw
berry immmediately finds favor,
because it brings a fair return
from the first season's planting,
and only needs proper care to
enable an abundant yield the
year following.
An idea of the expense per
State 1ttt

ing statement:

Net profit per acre $236.25
While we have used an aver
age of ten cents per quart, it
must be borne in mind that at
the beginning of the season the
figure is greater, but we have us
ed this in our desire to be con
servative.
Please notice in our estimate
we have shown the cost of the
land, and every expense incident
to the production. The yield the
first year will probably be less
than 150 crates, but the second
year it should easily reach this
figure and probably exceed it,
but it must be remembered that
there is practicaliy no expense
the second year, except the
items of crates, picking and
packing and the freight, thus
giving nearly the entire receipts
as profit. Frequently a third
crop is made from the same
plants.
Shipments usually begin about
the middle of April and continue
until the latter part of May. No
difficulty has ever been experi
enced in disposing of the berries
at good prices, and as the season
of reward is just at a time when
no other crop needs attention.
the strawberry has naturally
grown into favor until it is now
the pride of the district.
There is plenty of room for you
and an adundance of the same
land. We have made arrange
ments whereby land can be pur
chased at a reasonable figure and
believe if the farmers of NewEng
land and the West who are bare
ly making a living on wornout
lands and battling with long cold
winters, will avail themselves
of the opportunities we offer.
they will be enabled not only to
better their financial condition
but to enjoy the blessings to be
derived from a kind and gener
ous climate.
