Olds Gives Some Interesting Information as to Its Meaning. January 23, 1915. Mr. J. W. Sledge, Editor Roanoke News. My Dear Sir : The question was recently asked me "What's the meaning of the word Chocka- yotte. I here used to be an en gine of that name on the Raleigh & Gaston railway and a creek of the same name is, 1 believe, in Halifax county. The name is Tuscarora Indian. These Indians, who were domi nant in all of northeastern North Carolina from the coast to Raleigh had and have a language. The word Chockayotte means "at the place of the uprooted stump." The word "Chocowinity," which has the same root, means "at the place of the otter." Of course you understand that the spelling of these names repre sents an approximation of the sounds of the Tuscarora words they represent. I got this infor mation from Mr. J. N. B. Hewitt, of the Bureau of American Ethnol ogy, a notably fine authority on matters of this sort. Sincerely yours, Fred A. Olds. The above letter explains itself and we thank Col. Olds for the information given. The creek to which he refers originates several miles west of Weldon and passes into the Roanoke just outside the corporate limits. The engine which bore the name of "Chocka yotte"when first brought toWeldon was considerably larger than those already in use and with its familiar musical name was an object of in terest and admiration. "Chocka yotte," as well as "Quankey" the name of another creek in Halifax county, we know to be of Indian origin but we are glad to give the above information to our readers who, we are sure, will appreciate witn us i,oi. urns interest in our local surroundings. Cotton Still Rising. The rise of cotton last week to nearly ten cents a pound was very grati fying to the business men of the whole country. If the cotton plant ers will continue to borrow on their cotton instead of selling it, the price of cotton will continue to rise and when the Department of Agriculture announces after the planting season is over that only one-half crop was planted then the price will no doubt go up to eleven cents a pound. This Is A Bad Month The indoor life of winter, wittli lack of outdoor exercise, puts a heavy load on the kidneys. Nearly everybody tillera from rlicumatmm, backache, pain in sides and hark, kidney and Mad der ailments. A backache may not mean anything serious, hut it certainly does not mean any thing good. It'sbet- ter to he on the safe side and take Fo ley Kidney Tills to strengthen and invig orate the kidneys and help them to do their work. They help rid the blood of acids and poisons. Sold by E.

The value of local evidence is indisputable. It is the kind of ev idence we accept as true because we know we can prove it for our selves. There has been plenty of such evidence in the Weldon pa pers lately, and this straightfor ward testimony has established a confidence in the minds of Weldon people that will not be easily shaken. J. H. Waller, jeweler, Wash ington Avenue, Weldon, says: "1 was troubled by kidney weakness which caused me a great deal of annoyance. I procured Doan's Kidney Pills from Cohen's Drug Store and used them as directed. 1 was relieved at once." A Later Statement. On June 29, 1914, Mr. Waller said: "I think as well of Doan's Kidney Pills today as I did some years ago when I endorsed them. They are a good remedy for weak kidneys." Price 50c. at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Waller had. FOSTER-M1LBURN CO., Pro prietors, Buffalo, N. Y. SHIP YOUR FURS AND HIDES TO BEN EINSTEIN 301 Tenth St, N.
