INDIANS OF THE SOUTHERN STATES 
Continued from page 651. 
open with both hands, and the canes in a hor 
izontal position. In this manner they will cor|! 
tinue, either till their breath is expended b|! 
the want of respiration, or till the net is s|! 
ponderous as to force them to exonerate |! 
ashore or in a basket, fixt in the proper plac}! 
for that purpose—by removing one hand, th]! 
canes instantly spring together. I have bee 
engaged half a day at a time with the ol 
friendly Chikkafah, and half drowned in th 
diversion, when any of us was so unfortunat 
as to catch water snakes in our sweep an 
emptied them ashore, we had the ranting voic|! 
of our friendly posse comitatus whoopin 
against us, till another party was so unluck|; 
j 






















































as to meet with the like misfortune. Durin|: 
this exercise the women are fishing ashor|: 
with coarse baskets, to catch the fish thal 
escape our nets. At the end of our friendl|¢ 
diversion, we cheerfully return home, and i} 
an innocent and friendly manner eat togethei|: 
studiously diverting each other on the incilf 
dents of the day, and make a cheerful night.|! 
Those Indians were agriculturists, raisin)) 
large crops from the ground. “Every dwellin)| 
house has a small field pretty close to it; an)! 
as soon as the spring of the year admits, ther|t 
they plant a variety of large and small beans|( 
peas and the smaller sort of Indian corn, whic | 
usually ripens in two months from the tim|s 
it is planted; though it is called by the Englis'|t 
the six weeks corn. Around this small farr|! 
they fasten stakes in the ground and tie |: 
couple of long split hickory or white oak sap}|\ 
lings, at proper distances to keep off thit 
horses; though they cannot leap fences, ye! 
many of the old horses will creep throug'|t 
these enclosures, almost as readily as swineli 
to the great regret of the women, who scoll|! 
and give them ill names, calling them ugly ma\|¢ 
horses, and bidding them ‘go along, and be sur|: 
to keep away, otherwise their hearts will hanj|\ 
sharp within them, and fet.them on to spoils 
them, if envy and covetousness lead then|t 
back. Thus they argue with them, and thet 
are usually as good as their word by strikinj| 
a tomahawk into the horse if he does not obi 
serve the friendly caution they gave him al) 
the last parting. Their large fields lie quit|¢ 
open with regard to fencing, and they believ|: 
it to be agreeable to the best rules of economy || 
because, as they say, they can cultivate th): 
best of their land here and there, as it suit |b 
their conveniency, without wasting their tim]: 
in fences and childishly confining their im|( 
provements, as if the crop would eat itseli}i 
The women, however, tether the horses wit]|b 
tough young bark ropes, and confine the swine ij|} 
convenient pens, from the time the provision) 
are planted till they are gathered in—the mel! 
improve this time, either in killing plenty ol} 
wild game or coursing against the commoils 
enemy, and thereby secure the women ani) 
girls and get their own temples surrounded: 
with the swan-feathered cap. In this manne] 
the Indians have to me excused their long\h 
contracted habit and practice. 
; 
“The chief part of the Indians begin to plan|! 
their outfields when the wild fruit is so rip! 
as to draw off the birds from picking up thi! 
grain. This is their general rule, which is iil! 
the beginning of May, about the time. thi! 
traders set off for the English settlements|! 
Among several nations of Indians, each towi|! 
usually works together. Previous thereto, aij! 
old beloved man, warns the inhabitants to bij! 
ready to plant on a prefixed day. At the dawii! 
of it, one by order goes aloft and whoops ti 
them with shrill calls ‘that the new year is fa 
advanced; that he who expects to eat mus 
work; and that he who will not work must ex} 
pect to pay the fine according to old custom} 
or leave the town, as they will not sweat them 
selves for an healthy idle waster.’ At sucl} 
times may be seen many war chieftains work 
ing in common with the people, though a: 
great emperors, as those the Spaniards be} 
stowed on the old simple Mexicans and Peru|" 
vians, and equal in power, (i. e., persuasive force)" 
with the imperial and puissant Powhatan o}
