A VANISHIIfG RACE.
In the Everglades Are Remnants of
a Once Powerful Nation.
J It. Hen<ler*on In 7 he VMtor,
Deep in the silent fastnesses of the
Everglades of Florida the remnants of
a onco powerful nation, now as sepa
rate from the white race as when Co
lumbus landed, live in scornful but si
lent hatred of the white man. These
are the fast-disappearing members of
the once mightv tribe of Heminoles, who
defied the United States Government
for more than lifty years, and persist
ently refused to become "civilized.”
The legend, handed down from father
to son, has it that many moons ago, in
the time of the greatest medicine man of
all, "Te-ye-ma-da-yu,” the land of the
Seminoles was a wondrous country
where the women dominated every
thing. In their tribe, which was one of
the most exclusive and highest-caste
nations of the New World, maternity
counted for everything and paternity
practically nothing. The mother was
the head of the family and the recog
nized ruler. Those women of the Sem-
inolea were proud and strong. They
scorned wounds and weakness of any
kind. Practically they wore the nearcat
to perfection of any race in all the
country - graceful, handsome, Hgile,
brave and chivalrous.
All families greatly desired the birtli
of female babies. The girls could choose
their husbands, and the chosen one
came to live with his mother-in-law, to
become a port of her family and obey
her rule. The freedom of women began
with marriage. Until n girl was mar
ried she was nothing. Hut upon mar
riage, which frequently occurred at the
age of 1 I, she at once attained C' inplete
liberty. She could dismiss her husband
at onco if she liked, but she remained a
married woman and was permitted to
do as she pleased.
The rule of the mother and tile prac
tical ignoring of the father extended
through the whole Seminole nation. It
was tlii* world’s last survival of u sys
tem nsserted to have once been the
general law of the lund—tho recogni
tion of the mother as the real creutor
of the races and the rightful ruler.
Although the many wars and forced
emigrations reduced the Seminoles to u
few hundred, their mode of living, dis
position and customs are in many re
spects the same as when De Soto en
tered Tampa Hay in 1539. They avoid all
contact with the white race und seldom,
if ever, invite a white man to share
their confidence; and on account of tho
almost inaccessible nature of the re-
gii n in which they live very little is
known of their present home life. Un
like the Indians of Oklahoma, they have
always refused to accept any help from
the Government, saying in response to
offers of the same that they only wish
to he let alone.
The remnant of the tribe now living
m Florida are descendants of that once
invincible nation who were never com
pletely conquered. At one time, it is
claimed, there were less than 150 Sem-
inoles left in Florida, hut during the
long term of peace with the "palefaces”
their numbers have increased until
there are now something like 500 of
them. These Seminole braves are (the
greatest numbgr of them, at least, 1 of
a physical ti pe that is near perfection.
They are pure in morals, honest among
SOME TENNESSEE FOLKS
TELL HOW THEY WON
Sick people want to bo welt in a
hurry.
A great many, perhaps most all,
illnesses have their beginning in de
rangements of the stomach and diges
tive truct.
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy starts In
at the llrst dose to put stomach suf
ferers on the way to health. The first
dose proves it.
It Is taken with success everywhere.
Here are the words of two Tennessee
people who have taken it:

themselves and to tho whites, kind to
their families and devoted to their chil
dren.
One and all are suspicious of the mo
tives and designs of white men. and the
few who are able to speak and under
stand English are continually taught
that "Estahadkee, kolowagus lexeeo-
jus." (PalefaceB no good; all lies.)
The streams that (low through the
neighborhood of the Seminoles’ country
are a paradise for fishermen, and the
Indian braves have the "art” of fishing
down to a point that the white man can
never attain. When their supply of fish
Is exhausted a number of braves and
squaws select a point on some Htream
w^inre it broadens out into a pool per
haps 40 feet across. The men divide
Into two parties, one going up and the
other down the stream for a hundred
yards or so. Then they enter the water
and, thrashing around with clubs, re
turn, driving all the fish before them
into the pool. During this time some of
the women have been grating some sort
of mysterious roots into a vessel partly
filled with water. This is then thrown
into the pool at various points. In a
few minutes the fish begin to come to
surface, and remain an ample time for
the leader of the expedition, using a
long-handle scoop net made of fibers, to
obtain a bushel or more fish from ton
inches to two feet in length.
So far aH known the only white man
ever invited by the Indians to join them
in their fishing trips and resulting
feasts was Wm. M. Mitchell, an old
hunter and trapper of the Everglades.
The Seminoles have complete confidence
in him, for he has always treated them
fairly in purchasing their furs and has
saved the lives of many of their num
ber from an otherwise futal disease, he
being something of a doctor. He had
been among them for three years be
fore taking part in these excursions.
After the fish were caught some of
them were broiled on thespot. Mitch
ell hesitated about eating them. One
of the Indians, surmising his reason,
took a cupful of the poisoned water and
drank it down. After that the old
trapper hesitated no longer aliout eat
ing the fish.
Until this day Mitchell has never
learned tho secret of the roots the In
dians use in securing this subtle poison.
They guard it as they do their lives.
It is said that the Seminoles have
some secret remedy for the cure of a
bite from a rattlesnake, with which the
Everglades are infested.
Year by year the white settler en
croaches upon the domain of the red
man, and year by year the Seminoles
ure crowded further and further hack
into the Everglades. The Government
has dug great canals from I.ako Okee
chobee to tho coast, draining that re
gion. Others are in course of construc
tion, and the Indians are being forced
to move on toward the big cypress
swamps. A few more years and the
legends will be all that will be left of
the most picturesque tribe of Indians
that ever inhabited the Western Hem
isphere.

Slandering Georgia.
Mndinonlnn.
The Augusta Chronicle and a number
of weekly newspapors of tho "Me too”
class seem bent on holding up Georgia
to the scorn and ridicule of the outside
world. The Chronicle is doubtless hon
est in its position. And yet, what are
the facts? Is Georgia more of a lawless
State than any of her sisters? Do not
mobs, murders, riots, strikes and other
crimes against law and order occur in
every State of the Union? Then, why
hold up Georgia as the perfection of
lawlessness, the home of the mob, and
the Sodom and Gomorrah of Uncle
Sam’s domain? In an article on the at
tempt on Leo M. Frank’s life by a fel
low convict, The Chronicle of July 21
said—
"As we see it, it is not the crioie of
William Creen, or the sulTering and
possible death of Leo Frank, that so
seriously concerns the State at this
time; but the fearfully solemn thought
that the spirit of mob violence has so
taken possession of the people of Geor
gia that even one of the State’s life-
term convicts could feel called uoon to
make a victim of a man who had pre
viously escaped the mob. and for whose
blood almost the entire State has been
crying far months."
Is it a crime for 90 per cent, of the
people of Georgia to want the law to
take its course? It is an outrage for a
great paper like The Chronicle to say
that "almost the entire Stale was cry
ing for Frank's blood”—simply because
they wanted the verdict of the trial
jury, and the decisions of all the higher
courts in confirmation of said verdict,
to stand undisturbed. Until capital
punishment is abolished in Georgia it is
an outrage to allow the rich, the intlu-
ential and powerful to go unwhipped of
justice.

King Cotton Has a Rival.
Boston Journal.
At last King Cotton has a serious and
impressive rival in the South. His name
is King Wheat. For some years intelli
gent newspapers of the South have
urged the planters to diversify their
crops and thus make it impossible for a
failure of the cotton crop, or inability
to market it, bring gloom and disaster
to a whole section of the country. The
familiar slogan, "Buy a baleof cotton,"
which was heard hereabouts last yeor
when it looked as if cotton was to be
shut out of Europe, was the direct re
sult of blind adherence to the belief
that cotton, and cotton only, must re
main tho South’s great resource.
It is no longer thus. The grain crop
of the South this year will exceed in
value by millions of dollars the most
valuable cotton crop ever harvested.
The gain in bushels over last year is
286,000,000, which is almost 60 percent,
of the total estimated gain throughout
the country. Every State in the South,
except Maryland, shows an increase in
grain, Texas leading with a gain of
more than 58,000,000 bushels.
These figures show the value of per
sistent missionary work along the right
lines. The South is awake to the fact
that her best asset is her ability to di
versify her farm products, and the new
South is no longer wedded to the tradi
tions of the old South. Let it not be
overlooked that there will be a demand,
at a profit, for every bushel of grain
that will be harvested this year in ev
ery part of the country. King Cotton’s
condition is not what it might be, but
King Wheat, strong and healthy, is re
ceiving new adherents every day.
The Ball-Player’s Prayer.
Lord help ine to play the game. It
matters not to you whether I am tal
ented or poor in natural gifts; wealthy
or starving; a leader among men or
a simple follower, so that I play the
game as you would have it played.
Help me to keep my eye on the ball,
that the curves of temptution do not de
ceive me. Keep my feet in the paths
of righteousness, that 1 may touch
second and third on my way ’round the
buses. Help me to beat out my bunts,
and hold me, that I stray not too far
from base when the catcher is ready to
peg me out. Count not my foul balls
against me, O Lord, for the hatting
eye sometimes goes wrong, ’though his
intention is right. Help me in the
pinches, Lord, because a good bingle
might bring my brother home. Let
not the music of the fans keep my eye
from the hall, nor the enticements of
the slabman draw me away from the
need of a clean single with a man on
second. Heelp me, O Lord, to bat
over 300, because my eyes are on the
big league for eternity, even while I so
journ here among the bush leaguers.
Two men were working on the high
way of a town in Northern Maine. Ab
they worked they discussed various
people and affairs of national impor
tance. Finally one of them referred to
the Secretary of War, and the other
asked;
"Hiram, who is the present Secreta
ry of War?”
“I don’t remember his name,’’ said
Hi, "but here comes old Bill Morgan.
We’ll ask him.”
So, as old Morgan drove up, one of
the laborers called out:
"Hey, Bill, can you tell us who the
Secretary of War is?”
"Well,” said Bill, “I oughter know,
but I can’t seem to remember.” And
he drove on, thinking deeply. Soon the
two men saw Bill coming back, and
when he came within hailing distance
he called out:
"Say, you fellers, what war did you
mean?”

Orlando, Fla.—"I am a great friend and

cold two years ago. The cough was of
the v'ni'st lorm Imaginable. I coughed
so violently end so continuously that my
friends became very anxious as to tho
outcome. My physician was afraid that
It would terminate In consumption, as
many of my symptoms pointed that way.

with rattling In my bronchial tubes.
1 was also troubled with severe neu
ralgia in my face. In addition to all
this, my general health was very poor.
I was run-down, all tired-out, without
the least ambition, and with great loss
of weight, l had weighed 175 pounds,
hut in my condition went down to 125
pounds. Appetite left me and for a long

She is little and old and worn; her
form is stooped and bent. She wears
a plain black dress gathered at the
waist, and a white square across
her shoulders, pinned in front with a
a large, old-fashioned brooch. Her
white hair is parted exactly in the
center, smoothed back, rolled into a
small knot and fastened with a tuck
comb. Her hands are gnarled and
twisted by many years of toil; cares
and sorrow have seamed and scarred
her face with many wrinkles. Her
voice is low and sweet, and her smile
a benediction. Sometimes she folds
her hands on her lap and has a faraway
look in her eyes; she is thinking of her
loved ones in heaven. She has stalwart
sons and comely daughters whom she
insists on calling “her babies,” and for
whom she daily and earnestly prays
that they may be kept from the world’s
evils. Little children run to her to be
petted and camforted, clasp her knees
and look up into her face to share her

earth, of whom the world is not worthy.
She is the most beautiful woman. She

STOMACH TROUBLE
FOR FIVE YEARS
Majority of Friends Thought Mr.
Hughes Would Die, But
One Helped Him to
Recovery.
Pomeroyton, Ky.—In interesting ad
vices from this place, Mr. A. ]. Hughes
writes as follows: ”1 was down with
stomach trouble for five (5) years, and
would have sick headache so bad, at
times, that I thought surely I would die.
1 tried different treatments, but they
did not seem to do me any good.
I got so bad, 1 could not eat or sleep,
and all my friends, except one, thought 1
would die. He advised me to try
Thedford's Black-Draught, and quit
taking other medicines. 1 decided to
take his advice, although 1 did not have
any confidence in it.
1 have now been taking Black-Draught
for three months, and it has cured me—
haven’t had those awful sick headaches
since I began using it.
I am so thankful for what Black-
Draught has done for me.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught has been
found a very valuable medicine for de
rangements of the stomach and liver. It
is composed of pure, vegetable herbs,
contains no dangerous ingredients, and
acts gently, yet surely. It can be freely
used by young and old, and should be
kept in every family chest.
