An interesting indication of the methods that must soon be adopted by c ir farmer friends for soil improvement and splendid Jesuits already obtained, are shown in a five-acre tract of crim son clover on tbe farm of Col. R. H. Kimball, a local attorney, at Pea Hill, rear town. This clover is now in full bloom and pregems a beautiful sight to look upon. It will be plowed under to improve the soil next week. Asiue from its value for soil improvement, this clover makes the finest of hay and is easily cured. It is sown in Septem ber without any preparation of the land, makes a fine pasture or cover crop during the wasting winter rains, and comes off in time to plant corn or cotton. Our farmer friends who are unfamil iar with this wonderful clover, or who enjoy seeing a good crop, should go and investigate this tract this week. It has attracted attention and favor able comment from those who have passed that way. This crimson clover is best adapted to our local soil and climate, and every progressive will soon be growing it; it is well worth your time. YOU MUST REGISTER BY MAY 6.

The Strand Theater Program SATURDAY, APRIL 30— New Serial, wih Ruth Roland, Lust Ep. Yellow Ann and Western and Comedy. JUDGE ROSS TAKES ISSUE WITH C. M. T. Editor Winder News: I dislike to controvert the position or contention of a friend, relative to history or politics or religion, since I cannot be sure of the correctness of my own information. However, I feel that pay friend, C. M. Thompson, challen ges me to show of proof as to what tribe of Indians was the original owner or possessor of the lands in Jackson county. If you will grant me space in your columns, I hope to submit proof suffi cient to convince him and your read ers that it is not whim or caprice that causes me to say the Cherokee Indians and not the Creeks were here when Georgia was settled by white people. I will first give a statement from Pictorial History of the United States: “The Cherokees whose lands were Jbounded on the east by the Broad rfr er of the Carolinas including all of the northern Georgia. The cbees dwelt south of the Cherokees along tbe Sa vannah, Oconee and headwaters of the .Ogeecbee and Chattahoochee.” That your readers rouy more renrti ily interpret a quotation that l will submit, I here state my contention ns ‘concisely as possible. Cherokees lay between Broad river and the Oconee river or the Appnlaebee. They were civilized, lived in towns and cultivated thetr lands. In the year 1760. South Carolina made war on them, devastat ed their homes, destroyed their crops and drove them into the mountains. Augusta bad been their trading point and they owed the merchants there large sums of money. After peace was made, these Indians sought to settle their debts by selling this abandoned land to the merchants. They were In duced to make the cession to Govern ■ or Wright for his Majesty for the e*- ' press purpose of paying off their debts!* I The following is a quotation from Historical Collections of Georgia and is accredited to (Colonial Papers.) j "Whilst in England, Governor : Wright sent a memorial to the Earl of Hillsborough, In which among oth er things, he stated that there was a considerable body of land which then I lay between the boundary of Georgia ! with the Indians and a river called" Broad river to the northwest, which empties into the Savannah river, and the Oconee to the westward and south ward. He described the land as of Hi., richest and best quality, supposed to contain 5,000.000 acres—that the Cherokees claimed about 3,000,000 acres on the Savannah river, and in order to pay the debts tlint they owe to tbe In dian traders had voluntarily offered to cede the same to bis majesty. Gov. Wright proposed that the land should he sold in small tracts —and stated that the debts to these traders due from the Chorokees amounted to from 40 to 50 thousand pounds sterling. Instructions were given to the governor to return as quickly as possible to Ga. and to make the arrangement for the cession which ‘he accordingly did. I will conclude this communication by reciting a treaty made at Augusta on the first day of June, 1773, jointly h.v the Cherokees and Creek Indians. By this treaty the Cherokee* and the Cn-eks Jointly cede to his Majesty a portion of territory beginning at the place where “the lower Creek path in tersects Ogeechee river, and along the main branch of said river, and thence along the ridge between the waters of Broad river and Oconee river up to the Buffalo Lick, and from thence in a straight line to the tree marked by the Cherokee* near the head of a branch falling into the Oconee river, and from thence along the said ridge twenty miles above the line already run by the Cherokees, and from thence across to Savannah river by a line parallel with taht formally marked by them.And the Creeks cede from the present bounda ry line to Pliinoloway creek on the Al tamaha river up the said river to an island opposite to the mouth of Barbers creek, and from thence across to Ogee chee river opposite to the road about four miles above Buekhead. His Majesty agreed after certain ex penses were paid to apply the money* arising from the sale of the lands to the payment of debts justly due tay the, Indians to their traders. I submit this without further com ment. Lot those who care to investi gate go to the books and maps. I am using here an old book, “His torical Collections of Georgia,” by whom I know not, since first and last pages are missing. It may be by White. J, N. ROSS, No. 2
