Conccrnlni the Cherokee Tralu
lag nctiaol at Yellow Hill.
The news from tbe Cherokee Indiau
Training school at Yellow Hill is to tbe
effect that the new superintendent. Prof.
Potter of Kansas, has set about making
examination as to tbe fitness of every
one in any way connected with the
school, and the Indians who are earn
estly wishing to see the tribe advance
along educational lines are hopeful that
the new superintendent will prove satis
factory. When the trouble which arose among
the band during Prof. Andrew Spencer's
incumbency of the snperintendency died
out, after Prot. Spencer had been trans
ferred, it was hoped by many of the band
that it might be possible to have
a North Carolinian appointed to the po
sition of superintendent and Indian
agent at Yellow Hill. Congressman V.
T. Crawford interested himself in the
matter and endeavored to secure the ap
pointment of a North Carolina man.
He (oak the ground that as tbe ap
pointee would 611 tbe place ol agent as
well as that of superintendent, and as
the agent was not under the civil service
commission the appointment of a man
to the dual position could be made
outside of the civil service. The
Indians very much desired this ac
tion, believing that it would be better
for the tribe and school could theyseeu e
the appoitment of a man who was ac
quainted with the Indiaus and who
knew the situation of things on the res
ervation. They endorsed for tbe positicn
Mr. Snow, the clerk of the Superior
court of Swain county.
But all the work was to no avail. The
civil service commission could not or did
not grant the request, and Prof. Potter
was appointed under the rules of the
commission.
The superintendent of the Yellow Hill
school receives a salary of $1,200 a year.
To this is added a salary of $200 yearly
paid to him as Indian agent. The gov
ernment allows $600 for a matron of the
school, so that if the superintendent be a
married man, and bis wife becomes
matron, the amount paid for the services
to the man and his wife would be $2,000
a year, a very respectable amount
the Indian section.
The superintendent ia assisted by three
or four teachers, who receive compensa
tion at the rate of $50 a month. The
school, under ordinary circumstances.
would have opened on the first of Sep
tember, but this was made imoossibh
bv tne unsettled condition of affairs rc
eardiner the suoerintendency. The usual
term of the Indian school is 10 months.
A member of the tribe, talking to The
Citizen not lone aeo concerning the-
subject, said: "We have become well
nigb discouraged in our efforts to get a
first rate school among the Indians, and
should the new appointee not prove as
efficient as we have hopes of his being,
manv of us will oack up and go to the
Indian territory."
There are now. all told, about 1,200
members of the Eastern band of Ctaero
kees in North Carolina. The tribe, it if
said, is merely holding its own in tram
bers, the yearly increase, if any, being
very small.

President Cbas. E. Taylor of Wake
Forest college, who was here last week at
tending tbe Baptist convention, has this
to say of Asheville in a letter to tbe Biblical
Recorder: "Asheville seems prosperous
in spite of hard time. At least fewer
signs of depression are visible there than
in most other places which l nave vis

tbe tact that large numbers of visitors
continue to flock thither and that Mr.
George W. Vaaderbilt continues to spend
