SEMINOLES ON WARPATH. Pierce Rattle Fought With Whites in Florida Everglades. Miami, Fla.. Aug. 13.-For the first time in 40 years tho Seminole Indians on the reservation are on the wntpi.th. A runner brou gilt out of the swamps yesterday morning mea ger details or a fight which took place between the Seminoles and a party of white men who were bunt ing In the Everglades. It ls Indicat ed that tho entire Seminole tribe has taken to arms and the gravest fears are entertained for the safety of the white men who may bo bunting or prospecting In the big swamp. It ls not thought likely that the Seminoles will attack the settlers on the edge of the swamp. The tribe is not strong enough now to carry on an offensive warfare. On the other band tho Seminoles are the only peo ple In the world who have even a faint Idea or tho Intricacies -of the paths through the Everglades. lt would be quite possible for them to retire to the recesses ot the big swamp and live on there indefinitely, while it would be practically Impos sible for a punitive force of soldiers to reach them. More than 100 white men are known lo be inside the Outer. r!n>. of the-swamp now and their lives may all be endangered. The cause of the outbreak ls unknown. Nor ls lt es tablished that any lives have been lost as yet. A band of Seminole Indians, 12 or 14 In number, while under the influence of whiskey became t"?tneat ening toward three white men the Everglades Tuesday afternoon The story as given hy P. H. Parry, J. D. Lee and two brothers, who were cutting wood in the Everglades, northeast of Miami, when Willie Willies, a Seminole, who shot at a surveying party a year agq,, threat ened to strike the boys with an axe, hut another Seminole near hy pre vented the deed by pushing Willie Willies'a canoe aside. Later Wil lie Willies shot at a dog owned hy the Lee boys, the bullet passing near one of them. The Lee boys watched all night, but the Indians made no further demonstrations. The Indians return td to their camps lu the Everglades. Sheriff Dan Hardie is endeavoring to ascertain where the Indians pro cured the liquor. There ls a State law against the selling or giving of liquor to the Seminoles. Married a Hird Pour Times. At Mt. Carmel, Ind., a woman has a wonderful record. Although she has been married four times, she has always been a Bird. She began life as Elizabeth Bird, of Harrison contle ty, near Paris, Ky Her first venture Outside the home nest was when she married Bert Martin. When Martin died she married Edward Crow, a farmer. When time came to change nests she allied herself with William Robin, and lived happily until the matrimonial season again rolled around for Mrs. Robin.

County Dispensarle* Solling More Tl um Stat<? Dispensary Sohl. Columbia, Aug. 13.-What do the county dispensaries mean to the State of South Carolina? How do the sales and profits compare with those of the old State dispensary? These ure questions that are very per tinent Just at this time, when some of the counties are debating whether or not to abolish tho institution. A comparison of the sales of the State dispensary from 1903 to 1907 nnd of the county dispensaries since that time shows the following: 1903- The 133 dispensaries un der the State dispensary system sold $2,489,894.79 worth of liquors; to tal net profits $638,482.25. 1904- Number of dispensaries 146; sales. $3.912.402.50; total net profits $775,375.95. 1905- Number of dispensaries 145; sales, $3.1 22.796.09; total profits. $870,318.07. 1906- Number of dispensaries 122; sales, $2.585.137.16; profits, $575.975.04. 1907- March to December 30, 1907, 100 dispensaries; sales, $2, 691,663.43; profits, $695.056.61. 1908- Number of dispensaries. 100; sales, $3,6*4,214.81 ; profits, $934.800.90. The only year that can be used ns a basis for comparison In the county dispensary system ls 190S, for that ls the year that tho dispensaries were running Tull time. The year 1907 was partly a State dispensary year and partly a county dispensary year, the county dispensary system being inaugurated in March. The years 1005 and 1908 make good compari sons because the sales were nearer equal under the two systems. The profits under the Slate dispensary system were about $65,000 short of those under the count;, dispensary system. It should be noted, too, that In 1906 there were 145 dispen saries, while in 1908 'here were only 100. There are less than 100 now in the 21 counties that have retained the dispensary system. REV. J.

Mr. Sebald was well known In Lexington and throughout the county, having been pastor of one of the Lutheran churches In the Dutch Pork at one time.

A report of the New York State Hoard of Charities shows that the increased cost to the State for tho support of needy people since the beginning of the financial depression last fall, has boon $3,000,000. In New York city, during the year Just passed, tho number of persona com mitted to public charitable Institu tions, whose applications for relief wore investigated, was double that of tho preceding year. Tho State Hoard removed1 903 allens to their homes In other States and countries, and In addition 2,120 persons com mitted to New York city public charity institutions were examined, but not removed for various causes, ir lt were possible to get statistics of those who suffered In alienee, those who saw their savings of years slowly, but surely, dwindle away, and with them their hopes of a com fortable nest egg for declining years, the cost of the panic v. on id add'a good many millions more. ? Tarltl Not Sutislactory, hut Business Will Go Forward. ( Munuiapturers' Record.) The tariff is behind us. In many respects lt is imperfect, but the agitation is out of the way and the American people will now adjust themselves to conditions as they exist. That we are entering upon a pe riod of vast business expansion seems to be beyond question. Con sider for a moment the fundamental conditions In the fundamental busi ness-that of agriculture. Unless present crop conditions materially change lt is quite probable that the total value of agricultural products for 1909 will aggregate $8.300,000, 000 or In the neighborhood of $500, 000,000 more than the total of 1908, which was nearby $400,000,000 greater than the preceding year. The most remarkable fact In our busi ness history ls this amazing progress In agriculture^ The farmers of this country are enjoying greater pros perity than was ever known before by the agricultural Interests of this or any other land. The value of farm products In 1880, 1890 and 1900, and for each year since 1905 have been as fol lows: 1880 .$2,212,000,000 1890 . 2.406.000,000 1900 . 4,717,000,000 1905 . 0.415,000,000 1900 . I!, ?94,000,000 1907 . 7,412,000,000 1908 . 7.SOO,000,000 1909 estimated. 8,300,000,000 lu the ten years from 1880 lo IS'.IO the Increase in the value of farm products was so I liltingly small that it averaged only one per cent a year, or $250,000,000 .for ten years, hardly one-half ol' what the Increase in' the present year will be over last year. In other words, the increase in the value of farm pro ducts in one year is now twice as great as the increase in ten years between 1880 and 1890. Between 1890 and 1890 there was very little progress, hut then began a marvel ous advance which has continued without abatement ever since; by 1900 the total value was $4,717, 000,000. Since then the momentum has continued until in tho last three years, estimating 1909, the aggre gate value of farm products ls about $23,500,000,000. This is more than twenty times ns much as the com bined capital of all the national hanks in the United States. To this wonderful advance, this amazing growth in wealth, is large ly due the quick revival of business from the panic of 1907. It was this condition that saved us from a long period of great industrial depression, and it hi this fundamental condition for marvelous development which assures t.n expansion of business much grei.ter than our country has yet seen. Present indications point to the I>osslbllity of a corn crop of over 3,000,000,000 bushels, possibly 500.000,000 bushels more than last year. With the high prices* ruling for wheat, corn and cotton, abound ing prosperity seems to be assured. With the tariff out of the way; with magnificent crops, some harvested and some practically assured, the decks have been cleared for action. The winner of the battle for success will be the one who Is ready to do business: who makes lils readiness known far and wide. The way to do this ls to advertise. MR. TAFT WEIGHS 826 POUNDS. Being AI a ci ned nt His Weight He employs an Expert Masseur. A dispatch from Beverly, Mass., says: Before he started for the golf links Thursday, President Taft sub mitted to the ministrations of a vig orous masseur, who has contracted to hiing down the President's weight. Dr. Walker ls the masseur, and he hails from Boston with a long rtrlng of victorious achievements against adipose tissue to his credit. President Taft is alarmed at the onward march of his avoirdupois and is taking desperate measures to check it. Dr. Walker made his first call to-day,visiting the summer white house before breakfast. This he will do every day. Mr. Taft's weight ls now up to 326 pounds, and he became alarmed nt tho prospect. For more than half an hour this morning Dr, Walker ap plied himself to the Presidential bulk and he hopes to reduce Mr. Taft to 300 before a week has elaps ed. The masseur worked with fev erish energy, kneading the chest of the massive executive, then abdomen and (hen finally the huge muscles of the arni, attacking every fold of tut and sinew. After Di. Walker had finished with the nlassage treatment President Taft, in negligee, sought the lawn of the Evans cottage and "went through some gymnastics prescribed in the anti-fat treatment. Dr. Walker look ed on and as the perspiration trick 11tl down the Taftinn brow he nodded vigorous approval and shouted. Bully, fine." Then the President went to break fast.

THU SEATTLE EXPOSITION. Some ->i tho Many Thing? to Ito Seen at tia? (?ppat Western Show. Seattle, Wash.. Aug. 14.-Ono of the most interesting exhibits '.o be found at the Alaska-Yukou-f'aeitlc Exposition is In the fisheries build ing, and is tho collection of fishes imported from the Htwaitan bdands. There are no less than one h i i Ired of these finny specimens, of nlmobi every conceivable size, shape, form and color imaginable. Some are black and yellow, others a pale green, while some are trl-colored with specks and stripes resembling an American flag. Their tints are as gorgeous as the rainbow and as radiant as a butter fly. Their shapes are odd in the extreme. Some have the head of an ant-enter, others are more than hail bend with eyes in the top of the back. One particular variety have more the appearance of butterflies than fish, and move about as grace fully as a sunbeam upon a wave. Tills is the first importation of live fish ever taken from the Hawaiian Islands and their unique appearance causes thousands of visitors to Un ger about the aquariums looking upon (heir pristine beauty in won der and amazement. That an exposition can be con ducted on "dry" principles and at the same time conducted advanta geously, is thoroughly demonstrated by the receipts and attendance of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. The grounds and buildings arc well officered by an efllcient police force, but their duties are confined Chiefly to directing visitors about the grounds and supplying desired Infor mation. With the immense crowds drawn by special day attractions, there have been no scenes of dis orderliness or brawling, and an ar rest ls practically unknown. In no way has the absence of liquor Inter fered with the regular business of the Pay Streak, and the concession aries operating the best attractions speak of the orderliness of the crowds attending the various shows. The convenience with which the entire exposition ls arranged, finds great favor with visitors, and the ease with which all points of Inter est are reached ls particularly com mendable. Trans-continental travel ls taxing the capacity of the several railways, and the city ls thronged with a constant changing stream of visitors. Benjamin Franklin's cane, which he presented to Gen. LaFayette as a token of friendship, is one of the his torical exhibits in the Pennsylvania booth A Tacoma policeman had his badge nd money stolen from him while viewing the exhibits in the main government building. This ls the only case where the "light fing ered gentry" have piled their trade on the grounds of the exposition, which ls a remarkable record for a big fair. That beauty has curative powers cannot be denied after reading this testimonial. Judge Silas B. Spier, of Mt. Clemens, Mich'., suffered a severe sprain of his ankle In a run away accident at Portland, Ore. The next day he arrived in Seattle and paid a visit to the most beautiful exposition and ls authority for the statement that he was so enraptured by the beauty of the fair that he walked around all day on lils injured ankle and at night felt no III effects. Owing to the success of the Pay Streak attractions at the Alaska Yukon-Paciflc Exposition six new "laugh houses" are being erected. A cone of apples twenty-seven feet bigh and ten feet at tho base stands In the center of the Oregon building. About the base of it is grouped the horticultural exhibit, the whole making a most pleasing display. The method of harpooning seal by the Eskimo is graphically Illustrated In a large pond In the Eskimo vil lage. There are a number of live se ' swimming about, but the har pooning is done un a "dummy." Some $1,200,000 is shown in the gold booth at the exposition, con sisting of bricks, nuggets and dust. The bricks were all made In the treasury department exhibit in the main government building. A HAP^Y HOME ls one where heali'i abounds. With impure blood there cannot be good health.

Husbands Allowed to Swear nt Wives Husbands may swear at their wives with Immunity from arrest, according to a recent opinion of Mu nicipal Judge (.emmit, of Chicago. Furthermore, he helleres that a wife has no redress in court if her hus band threatens to desert her. If the husband returns home intoxicated, the wife may not have him arrested unless he beats hor. The judgo stated^ his position and emphasized it by refusing to Issue a warrant, to a wife who told the court that sho believed her husband in tended to leave her, and that she wished him arrested.
