Liberty Street Office of the Seaboard \\ mm OiMcontinued. The Liberty street ticket office of the Seaboard Air Line was discontinued yes terday. the order directing the discon tinuance having been issued some time ago, and noticed at the time in the Morn ing News. In the .future the ticket business of the system will be transacted at the city office at the corner of Bull and Bryan streets, and at the union ticket office, at the Cen tral depot.

Allen, who has filled the position of ticket agent at the Liberty street office, with great efficien cy end satisfaction to his employers and the general public, has not yet decided what business he will enter.

The amount of work to be done during the present and -the next month does not war rant the employment of the force that is maintained during the rest of the year. The carpenters were laid off, probably, la greater number than any other class of artbtans, though the painters found many vacancies in their ranks when the work ing day closed.

July 31—In the center of a triangle formed by monuments to the loyal slaves of the South, the women of the Confederacy, and the Confederate soldier, there was dedicated at Fort Mill. York county, tc-day a monument to ihe Catawba Indians who espoused the cause of the South in 1861 and fought gallant ly to the close of the war. The Catawbas sent a company of tcouts Into the army, some of them doing service under Hamp ton, for which th y were commended, and many being killed. The monument to the Indians i3 a graceful shaft of fine granite supporting the figure of a Catawba chief in war tear. Appropriate set ms and ir.scrij tijna appear on the sid s of the pedestal. It was erected by Col S. E. White, who was also chiefly instrumental in having elected the other monuments in the Fort Mill : ark. At the time it was unveiled • h monument to the women of the Con federacy was the only one In existence, while those to the faithful slaves and the fri ndly Indians are the* only ones in ihe world. Col. White was a large slave ho.c. r and one of the Indian scoits was attached to his com. any during the war. The services at Fori Mill to-day were brief. Half the tribe on the reservation, ten miles distant, w'ere in attendance. 1 ut the band was small as there are but seventy-six left and eight or ten of these, only, are full-blooded. The address of the day was delivered by Chief Ben Harris, one of the few surviving warriors and in all probability the last chief of his tribe. H s lather was killed in battle during the Civil War. According to the writings and traditions of ihe Catawbas, they moved in a great body with thousands of warriors to the South in 1566, invaded the land of the Cherokees, and after scattering tights and skirmishes came to a great battle on the banks of the Catawba river, where Fort Mill now' stands. There the Catawbas hod a thousand warriors killed, but the losses of the Cherokees were much greater, and i hat nation was conquered and driven from their hunting grounds. The famous battlefield is still ixdnted out and the re mains of fortifications erected by the In dians can yet be seen. The Catawbas welcomed the whites when they came, and for hundreds of years have maintained the same friendly reunions with them. In 1825 the tribe was given a reservation of 10.000 acres of land in York county and the state annually gives SBOO to the tribe and $250 for a sc'hool for the Indian children. The widows of the men killed in the Civil War are pen sioned by the state. Until within the last few years the chief of this tribe made a formal visit to the Governor at a stated time of the year, de clared his friendship and presented some token—the gift was game as long as there was any to be procured about the reserva tion.
