James Oglethorpe. he was
rated in Frederica 0a.. where
for us." he died after several years of
confinement. "Thus." remarks L
ud-
ovick' Grant. a British trader. “thus
ended the famous Pryber a most. No-
torious Rouge and inniquitous fellow."
It was natural that 1 British trader
should so regard a propagandist who
sought to block the English conquest
of America: for that purpose was an
important incidence to Priber's main
scheme. which may be summed up in
the words in which the doctrine of St.
Simon is summarized: "To each ac-
cording to his needs. from each ec-
cnrding to his capacity."
Introduced Standard Measures
Although it Wis upon a basis such
as this that Prlber attempts to erect
his communist structure th human
material which he had selected. to
work considerably modified his pro—
ccdurc. Among his preliminary tasks
was the negotiation of a confederation
among the Indian tribes: instruction
concerning the danger of the white
‘iian's encroachment. upon property
of the natives; and the manufacture.
of steel measures whereby the Indians
‘u'unid be able to thwart the traders
in ihcir sharp practices. or this last
inanit‘il lsimr. Antonie Bonnetoy. a
voyageur held captive by the Chero-
kees. reported: "They know inches
rind measures and have steel yards
“hich I‘icrrc (l‘ribcr) has made
thcm." it was chir‘fly the commercial
sophistication which Prichcr inculcat~
ml upon the Indians that made the
llritish traders regard him as respon-
sihlr- for the “remarkable intractahili~
ty of the Indians in matters of trade."
and caused them to summond to their
aid the imperial government of Great
liritinn in the person of General Ogle-
thmqm. in orrlcr to cxtirpnte this evil.
It must be recalled thut the English
enjoyed a virtual monnply oi’ the ind-
inn trade in South i‘nrnlina at that
ltime. ljvcn during that period of
iAinn-ricnn History it sv—‘mcd proper
that the flag should t‘nllow humbly
in the wake of the pound-sign. Fur-
thermore, to quote Grant's deposition
in the South Carolina Gazette of Aug.
13. 1718. Prihr'r aroused in the. Ind-
i1n's minds. "a. great care and Jen!-
nus)’ fur their lands and that they
should kcnp the English at, a distance
from them."
A sugestion of the extent to which
Prihcr had carried out his dream of
3:1 communist cmpire——~ for that is what
it would have had to he—is to be
"Mind in "The History of the Ameri-
can Indians." published in London in
1755 by "Jamvs Adair. Esquire.
trader with the Indians and e resi-
dent in their country for forty years."
That doughty historian gave it his
opinion that at the time of Priber's
arrest the empire "formed by slow
and sure dcxrccs to the great danger
of'onr southern colonics" was on the
point “of rising into a far greater
state of puisnncc by the acquisition
of the luskohgo. Choktnh and “‘est-
Mississippi Indians." Grant re-
incarce-
"bluntly
ports that “he was setting up a Town
at the Foot of the nountains amon
the Cherokees. which was to be :
City 0! Refuge tor all Criminials.
Debtors and Slaves who would ily
thither from th
Enters." 0 Justice of their
Planned Indhn Ola-[Won
Another witness appears in the per.
son of “Americus.” who. writing in
Dodeley's Annual Register of 1760.
aver-ed: "After some months inter-
course. 1 had from his mouth a con-
fession of his designs in Amer-ice.
which were more or lea than to bring
about a confederation amongst all the
southern Indians. to inspire them with
industry. to instruct them in the arts
necessary to the commodity of life and
in short. to engage them to throw OK
the yoke of their European allies of
all nations. Hence, they began
ulrcady to be more acute in their deal-
ings with the English and French and
to look upon those nations Is lnler¥
long-s and invaders of their just
rights."
As a propbgandlst for confederation
and communism Priber insisted also
the tribes. and was the ablest oppon-
upon the necessity for peace among
ent of those Indians who were always
ready. upon the incitation of the Eng»
lish. to engage in raids upon their
neighbors. The Indians by and large
entered into the spirit of peace. His
efforts in behalf of peace seem a
direct refutation of the charge made
against him that he sought to per-
suade the Indians to wage war upon
the British in the
interest of the
French. His diplomacy. it is evident,
had no such and in view. “For the
future he urged them. they should
trade with both (French and English)
upon the same footing. which would
be their greatest security. for they
would be courted and caressed and
receive presents from both.’
A Lost Cause .
Priber had been called the spiritual
descendant of Plato, Campanella and
Sir Thomas More. one who “imported
into the American wilderness the most
radical current European metal and
political philosophy.” It is evident
that he was an equsltarian. that he
regarded the Indians as equal to the
whites. else he would not so humbly
have accommodated himself to their
customs. manners and dress.
As we look back. Priber was an in-
telligent radical. a product of his time.
a contemporary of the Rousseau who
preached the doctrine of the "noble
savage." and of Voltaire. He went
among the Indians because he thought
them least touched by that sophisti-
cation which is the bitter enemy to
the reception of fundamental ideas.
He pronounced himself thc too of
“tryranny. usurpetion and oppression,"
and although we must contcss that
his influence upon the course of
American history was comparable in
permanence to a slight frosting on a
window pane. yet the few tools that
are available concerning him deserve
at. least to be preserved in the records
of history.

THE DAILY SENTINEE
Youth Claims He Sle‘w
Eight Revenue Agents
. The slaying of eight revenue om.
corn is a battle in the Kentucky
mountains in April. 1908. is the record
claimed by a young'man held in Les
Angelus on a charge Of beating the
railroad.
The prisoner gives his name as
Joesph Lourie and says he was 15
years old at the time. He comes from
Kirby Knobbs. Ky.. and is covered
"My t'olks ran a stiti." he said. ac-
cording to Detectives Box and Rich~
ends, “and the revenues: were always
trying to find it. One day my brother
Char ey and i heard shots on the other
side 0 the hill. “'22 hid in the bushes
and soon we saw the revenuers com-
ing. They were carrying the bodies
of my dad and my brother Art,
"We let them get past and then
started shooting. We killed the eight
of them and skinned out."
The police say the man has been a
sailor. and though they think he may
be spinning a sailor's yarn. they are
taking no chances of releasing him.
They have wired the Department of
Justice for information as to the al—
leged battle.
Veteran revenue officers ‘n Louis-
ville express disbelief in the confession
of Laurie.
J. A. Craft. who was collector of
Internal revenue in Louisville in 1908.
said he was without knowledge of any
stirring incident such as destrihcd by
Lourie and that he would have, known
somethlmr about it had it occurred.
