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: MISS CORA FISHER, 805 Saxon avenue. Memphis—"Have taken your medicine and it worked like a charm— has removed quite a number of gall stones. It does just as you said it would." MRS. W J. WARD. Sparta, Tenn.— *'I can honestly recommend your rem edy to all sufferers from constipation and stomach troubles.

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. For a Sprained Ankle.

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.

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?” A friend in need is apt to keep you broke.

Orlando, Fla.—"I am a great friend and advocate of Dr..Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It cured me of a cough 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. 1 had a severe sore, throat all the time, 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 time I took to nothing in the way of nourishment but a cup of milk daily. Tho ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ soon began to help me and finally I was back to my former self."—Miss Ida Dean, 311 West Pino Street. , Tbe Most Beautiful Woman. 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 smile. She is one of God’s saints on earth, of whom the world is not worthy. She is the most beautiful woman. She is mother. When a man becomes a factor in pol itics two things are indicated. One of them is that he stands by bis friends, and the other is that his word is good. The lead pencil is sometimes hard pushed to make remarks.

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.
