I'Great Great Grandson of
pi Chief JWeatherford Has
I f Joined Uncle Sam's Forces
Father of Young Man Pre
sents Descendant With 1
Chief’s Razor
Young Thomas W. Weatherford, Jr.,
■treat, great grandaon of William
Weatherford, the famoua Indian chief,
„ left Monroeville, Alabama on Septem
ber 18 for Camp Cordon. .
In telling his son good-bye Thomas
W. Weatherford Sr. of Mt. Pleasant
in Monroe county, hdnded the young
soldier William Weatherford’s razor
saying, "Son' take this, Chief William
’Weatherford’s razor and with It cut the
damn Kaiser's throat, cut off his mus
tache. bring it back with you, and turn
it over to the Smithsonian Institute
for safe keeping."
Descendant Of "Red Eagle”
If there is anybody In the United
States who can carry out that Injunc
tion, it ought. to. be a descendant of
the mighty, “Red Eagle."
Absolutely fearless, utterly merely
less, untiring in. his desperate fighting,
and remarkably Intelligent, Weather
ford lead his forces against his enem
ies, until the. last vestige of hope was
gone. After hts warriors were slain
by Jackson's men,' and he was a Jugi
.tlye from their wrath, he walked
calmly Into Gen. Jackson's presence,
while white soldiers snarled, "Kill him
Kill him"! "I come not to ask favors
for myself" stated the Chief, “You can
kill me If you ho desire. But I come
to beg you to send for the women
and children of the war party who
are starving in the woods.”
..Such was the magnificent courage
of Wiliam Weatherford.
Alabamians know the story of
Weatherford’s leap but the people from
Ohio may enjoy the narrative.
“Story Of Weatherford’s Leap”
After the Battle of the Holy Ground,
Weatherford’s warriors lay dead on
the holy spot, which they had believed
was "The Indian’s Refuse and the
White Man's Grave”. Weatherford
found Mpiself alone, with a band of
furious white men riding toward Mm,
.and the Alabama river,tin front of him.
Without la moment's hesitation he
plunged'hls horse toward the river,
turned In his saddle just before he
reached the high bluff to shoot down
the foremost pursuer, and then over
the twenty-foot bluff Into the river
went rider, horse and all. They came
up shortly on the'Other side of the
river, and with one loud battle scream
"Red Eagle" disappeared Into the
woods.
It was after the battle of Horse Shoe
Bend, fought In the bend of the rlvfr
a short distance above Camp Sheridan
that Weatherford surrendered to^Jack
son. •
Jaekaea Released Chief
Jackson was too good a sport to
execute a man with the Red Eagle's
courage, and Inspite of protests from
his men, the.general released the pow
erful chief.
There Is a beautiful story of Weath
erford's love affair with a maiden.
Lilia Beazely. But that the love ex
isted only In the poet’s mind. Alexand
er Meek says himself that the story
Is not true.
As a matter of fact William Weath
erford had three wives, one an Indian
woman, the others tof mixed blood, but
all from the royal' families of early.
Alabama history.
The chle/ lived In peace among his
white neighbors for years and 'finally
won the friendship and admiration of
many of them.
Cruel as the Indians may have
seemed, they were fighting for their
rightful heritage, and none of the bar
barous punishments they inflicted
compared with the dastardly crimes
Germany has committed In this day of
civilization.
With the oourage of his forebears,
and the advantages that he,has had.
young Thomas W. Weatherford stands
a wonderfully good chance to show
the world what a real honest-to
goodness American can and will do to
an enemy.

LONDON, Auk. 51.—Five American
women, five French women and ' ten
English women, who volunteered for
farm work with the National Land
Council, have been sent for a month
to "rough It” as fruit pickers In the
orchards about twenty miles from Lon

from eight In the morning to six at
night. The fruit Is all hand-picked
from long ladders and the work Is not
easy.
They get eight cents an hour, the
same as the regular fruit pickers who
come Into the fruit district each year
from the East End of London and who
sleep In freight cars along the sid

The big upper floor of their barn dor
mitory Is curtained off Into twenty
compartments where the girls sleep
on straw.. They board themselves;
, each has her own teapot and dishes,
and prepares her own breakfast and
