I don't know who this Indian is,
A Knur urithln his hand.
But he is bidding by a tree
And watching white men land.
They may be gods - they may be friends -
They certainly look rum. v
He wonders who on earth they are . .
And why on earth they've come.
He knows his streams are full of fish,
His forests full of deer,
And his tribe is the mighty tribe r
That all the others tear.
And when tha French or English land,
The Spanish or the Dutch,.
They'll tell him they're the mighty tribe
And no one else is much. . ;
They'll kill his deer and net his fish
And clear away his wood,
And fire quently remark to him
They do it for his good.
Then he will scalp and he will shoot
And he will burn and slay
And break the treaties he has made
And, children, so will they.
We won't go into all of that . '
For its too long a story . . . ..
And some is brave and some is sad . ... .
And nearly all is gory.
But, just remember this about
Our ancestors so dear: t -
They didn't find an empty land.
The Indians were here.

Problems Eased
Many a North Carolina aromatic
tobacco grower has pondered the
question of - whether to stop . pro
ducing this small' leaf 'crop since
its introduction in the state in 1M5.
Tedious, time-comsuming - product
ion methods and high cost of labor
forced many growers out of the
business. :-
