PRiTCHARD'S BILL WOULD
ENFRANCHISE CHEROKEIJS
A bill introduced by Kcprcsonta
tive (ieorge Pritehard, and which has'
pas-ed both houses of Congress, j
agii:a injects the Cherokee Indians
ol .he Qua I la Reservation, into j>ol
itic:. in .iackson and Swain counties,
and could, |>ossihiy have considcr
ablc bearing upon the Congressional,
Judicial, and two Senatorial Districts
'l ?e Indians, who live upon a boun
dary ot land, ot' which they are
(en uts in c.rnmon. transact their
business under dinclion ol' the I>u
reau of Indian A flairs. They are ex
cmpt from taxation on their lands,
by uimis from Washington. They
maintain their own Tribal govern
ment. They are lurni.slied with edu
cational i :-;ilii:ionthe in.tidings
erected, .the teachers paid, and all
erpeiihcs i.:et by, the federal govern
meiit. Last year only .*{!' members of
the entire tribe paid a personal prop
erty tax in Jackson county.
For many years t.-.ey have not par
ticipated in Select ions in this county,
havimr been' rid used registration on
the theory that they are members
ol' the Cherokee Nation, wards of
the federal government, and, there
lore not citizens of the State of
North Carolina, though amenable to
its laws, us would be any subject of
another country, living in the State.
Mr. Pritchard's bill seeks, by act
of the federal legislative body, to
make them citizens of North Caro
lina, and enfranchise some 2,400 of
them, to participate in elections in
Jackson, Swain, and (Jraham counties
The bill reads'*
"That all non-eiti/.en Cherokee In
dians, born within the territorial
limits of the United States and resi
dent in the Stale of North Carolina
arc hereby declared to be citizens of
the United States and entitled to all
lights, privileges, and immunities be
longing to such citizens, including
the light of franchise, provided they
can meet and conform to the educa
tional and other tests imposed u|W)n
voters of the stale ot North Carolina,
as a condition precedent to the exer
cise of such right of franchise. All
acts or parts of acts of congress in
consistent herewith arc hereby , re
pealed. Nothing contained in this act
shall in any manner impair or other
wise affect the right of any Indian
to tribal- or other property',
SCHOOLS BUS TURNS OVER !
An accident, that was not serious,j
yet which might have been a disas
ter, was that on Tuesday morning,
when the school bus, conveying thir
ty Sylvn children to the practice
school of the Western Carolina j
Teachers College turned over, on a
fill, near the Lewis Smith place, j
None of the children was seriously1
in.juredy only a few cuts and bruises
resulting.
Edwin Allison was driving the
truck, and the accident is sa;d to
have been unavoidable. Mr. Allison
is !c:own to be one of (he steadiest|
and most reliable young men of this
SO'-MIHtP'tV. ?
Dr. Tf. T. Hunter, presided of
Western Carolina Teachers College
expressed regret that the accident
occurred, and profound gratitude
that th* children were not .seriously
hurt. Ife stated that the college
wants t?Tr children to continue to
come to the practice school, ano that
every possible precaution will be
taken for their eare. Fie added thr1'"
if the parents wish it, th(> college
will send a chapcrone along, to sit
in the back of the truck with the
children.
The bus made its trips, yesterday
and today, as usual, and will continue
to do so. *
THE WEEK
(By DAN TOMPKIXS)
j Oil Saturday the Smoot-Hawlcy,
,or Gruudy Billion Dollar Tariff
I bill pasned both houses of congress,
attor a tortuous course of more thaif
a year. President Hoover has signed
j thp bill and it has become law, plac
I iu?- the highest import tariff duties
j in history,, and levying an a<lditional
| sales tax, estimated at one billion
j dollars on the pocket books of the na
j tion. On Tuesday, after President
i Hoover had stated that he will sign
? the bill, and before he had actually
I signed it,' making it a law, the stock
j market broke again, sending stocks
j to new low levels, and bringing cot
ton, grains, and other commodities
| down with them.
The day the bill was signed, by
President. Hoover, the stock market
1 again broke, rallying stocks to the
. lowest leevl since the panic of last
I fall, and bringing cotton, cop])er andj
I other contmodotcs down to the level i
j of 1914 prices. Thus do we bring
I prosperit v bv higher .tariff.

A boy and a girl were walking
along the street in Gastonia when a 1
Negro man and woman, in an automo
bile and armed with pistols, held the
pair up, forced them into the car,
carried them out into the country,
and the Xegro woman held the white
boy at the point of a pistol, while
the girl was assaulted. And yet, we
are toldt and it is insisted, that a
beast like that must be given the
benefit of civilized white man's laws.
Would you go through the mockery
of a court trial for a mad-dog, a

A falling of rotten fruit is due in

ADOPTED BY COT
An ordinance was adopted, at the
meeting of the Board of Aldermen,
Tuesday evening, regulating parking
on Main and Mill, the two principal
streets of the Town.
Main Street was ordered marked
off in parking squares, set at angles
from Walnut Street to the Sylvan
Theatre. It was made a misdemean
or for anyone to park other than at
the proper angles, with the ?ront of
the cars toward the sidewalk, and
within the designated parking spaces.
It was made a misdemeanor to
make a left hand turn, in order to
park, or to turn a car except at tlie
end of blocks. Parking on Allen and
Walnut Streets, between Main and
Mill Street was forbidden.
Taxicabs are to have a special
parking space of their own, just off
Main Street, to the Sbtfth, on the
East side of Allen Street; and it ii
unlawful for them to park on Ma\n
Street for a longer period than 15
minutes.
Mill Street is to be marked for
paraleli parking on the North side
only; and it is unlawful to park on
the South side of this nafezow street.
It is believed that the regulation*
will not only obviate danger from ac
cidents, but will also provide parking
for almost twice as many ears in the
business section of town than eaa
be accommodated at present.
