SEMln0lES ARE EXCITED,
A Slap in the Face of the Chiefs Son.
Nav Cause RIOOdshed.

There is fear that the Seminole Indians In
south Florida may again go on the warpath,
after 40 years Of peace. Little Tiger, chief
of that portion Of scattered tribes which has
two villages on the edge OF the everglades,
not far west of Biscayne bay, is now on his
way to Tallahassee to seek an official inter
he and his tribe consider a serious insult to
the Seminoles.
Men coming from the neighborhood Of the
Indian villages say that the whole tribe ia
much excited and threaten to go on the war
path II Gov. Mitchell does not fix up the mat
ter. Apparently every preparation was being
made for war. There are about 800 in the
tribe, including women and children.

Japanese gardens are the most fairy
like of places. You see in them tiny
trees and Towering plants, ponds,
bridges, summer houses, lanterns-here
dwarf pines six or eight inches high,
but 125 years old; there others one
foot high, but 500 years old. In the
garden of Yeijugin the temple
grounds-there are many plants, most
ly old, but one is 100 years old, and is
eight feet high-quite tree.

BarefOOted Among Snakes.

While we are telling snake stories
the following good one comes to us
from the mountain regions, L. L.
Dulin standing as authority. The
country between Little Big Black
Mountain is ginseng region, and the
Parker family are noted as "sengers. "
The girls go out barefooted in the
mountains, though the country is in
tested with rattlesnakes and copper
heads, and dig the ginseng, for which
they get good prices at the stores, and
from which it is taken to Pennington
Gap for shipment
But along Glover Gap and up Rattle
snake Creek there are numberless rep
tiles. Beckie Parker is girl, about
nineteen years of age, strong, healthy
looking and handsome, but with a very
determined face. She is splendid
rifle shot and is often seen with her
Winchester.
She goes after ginseng barefooted
and often alone. The roots are gath
cred in May and September, and dur
ing the month just past she did a
thriving business. One day, however,
she came across den of rattlesnskes.
She had only stones and sticks with
which to fight the desperate battle.
Some of the snakes were larger than u
mans arm, and few of them as large
rs the calf of mans leg. For
hours she fought them as they Kissed
and writhed and ratified around her.
But the brave, determined girl battled
with them until she exterminated
every one that did not succeed in hid
ing among the crevices of rocks and
in the dense underbrush When she
had crushed the last one to be seen
she counted thu dead, and there were
just sixty three. Fredericksburg IVA. J

few others than persons shipping through the
Exchange would have collected at all. We have
kept down the price of box materials and orange
growers supplies; and, while we do not claim to
undersell Others yet being in the business and
satisfied with reasonable profit we have pre-
vented eXtortona prices being charged growers.
We have by our strenuous and persistent suit
through the Interstate Commerce Commission
and the United States courts obtained a reduc-
tion offreights resulting in a saving to the ship
pers on the crop of 1893 alone of 100000. We
have encouraged the establishing of a home line
" fruit steamers carrying fruit at reduced rate.
BY means of our bulletins containing Geographic
advces, issued semi-weekly and scattered freely
through the orange growing sections, we have
kept the orange growers truly informed OF the
condition of the fruit markets throughout the
United States and enabled them to demand full
value for their fruit sold on the trees free on
board cars.

THE AGRICULTURAL WRITER'S.

There is a class of men in Florida who
gent way to build up the State and add
to the wealth and happiness of those
here than, perhaps, all other agencies
combined. These men are the CORE
spondents Of the agricultural press, and
they should have a monument erected
for the good they have done.
Only a few years ago Florida hOrticul-
ture was something Of which we knew
little True the field seemed promis-
ing one, but it was uneXplOred and I'M
known. The hardy pioneers however,
did not hesitate, they went to work with
determination to explore the field and
to buoy the channel to success for those
who were to follow, and that they did
their work well, faithfully and unSelfishly
the present prosperous condition of af-
fairs bears evidence.
These men while labOring for them
selves were generous enough to give to
others through the columns Of the agri-
cultural papers Of the State the benefit
of their experience. They told Of their
success and how they succeeded, Of their
failures and why they failed. The new
conner had guide-he could avoid the
danger spots and steer through the chan
mel to success if he was a reader, stud
ent and an observer, The great cause Of
failure of so many who came to Florida
to acquire wealth in few short years
was their Obstinacy-they didn't read
the papers, they failed to heed the adj
vice of the unSelfSh men who had tray
eled over the same road they were tray
cling, and who gave the advice freely
and willingly.
We say that these writer's deserve
much credit for what they have done.
Often after hard days work they
would take up the pen to tell of some
success achieved or to warn others Of a
possible danger. These men wrote not
for money but for the good Of their fell
low men, and without their help Florida
horticulture would not be half as far ad
vanced as it istO-day.

DESTROY CHOLERA BACILLT.

AS information the following article
taken from the New Orleans Picayune
was read:
The imperial health office OF Berlin has issued
announcement to the effect that oranges and
lemons are both fatal to the cholera bacillus.
Placed in contact with the cut surface of the
fruit, the bacteria survives but few hours. They
remain active for some time longer on the unin-
ured rind of the fruit, but even then they die
within twenty hours The destructive prop
erty regards the cholera bacteria is supposed
to be due to the large amount OF acid contained
in those fruits. In consequence Of this quality,
the health officer considers it unnecessary to
place any restriction the transit and sale OF
these fruits if it should be ascertained that
they come from places where holera is prevalen
at the time. Not single instance was noted in
which cholera was disseminated by either
oranges or lemons.

can be. Vehicles are sold at almost half
the price asked by dealers who buy of

4 GREAT GALE.
Obstructive Tidal Wave at Mobile-0reAS
Loss of Property Considerable Loss OF

Obstructive Tidal Wave at Mobile-0ress
Loss of Property Considerable Loss OF
Life.
MOBILE, Ala, Oct. "A southeast
gale broke here yesterday morning
about o'clock the wind blowing at
least fifty miles an hour. The wind
blew the water in from the gulf until
the river has reached Royal street,
which is four blocks from the river and
at an elevation of about fifteen feet
from the main river height There is
no possible chance of estimating the
money damage. ALI the wholesale and
agricultural portion Of the retail dis
trict OF the city is some four feet under
water, and thousands of dollars worth
of goods have been damaged
The pilot boat Ida Low was driven
on the wharf at the foot of ST. Francis
street. The bay boat Heroine was
driven on the Mobile & Ohio wharf and
almost totally wrecked The Crescent
City, another bay boat left Point Clear
at the same time the Heroine did yes
terday morning and has not since been
heard from. 1t is reported that three
dredges working the channel have been
lost. 1t is also reported here that
some so miles of the Louisville & Nash
vile road along the coast is under
water, and that the Biloxi bridge has
been swept away by the gale. Nothing
has been heard from the gardeners in
the marshes east of the city and the
worst is feared.
Telegraphic communication is cut off
in almost every direction, and from the
present outlook Mobile will be entirely
cut off from the outside world when
darkness comes. In this city houses
have been unroofed, trees blown down
and one cotton warehouse has sue
cumbed to the fury of the gale. All
the smokestacks of all the manufactur.
ing industries have been blown down.
Street car traffic has been wholly sus-
pended because of the damage to the
electric wires, and the city will no
doubt be in darkness, as the waves
were fast encroaching on the electric
light works. The busiest thorough
fares in the city are being navigated in
boats and persons wading up to their
arm-pits in order to save their goods.
q 1t is conceded by all to be the worst
storm that has. ever visited Mobile.
The southern part of the city presents
a scene of wreckage as if it had been
bombarded. The towers on the court
house and Christ church are tottering.
Dredge No S turned over near the
lighthouse and three men were thrown
into the angry waves. At great peril
the crew of the tug Captain Sam
steamed to the rescue and saved two of
the men, the other being lost. An un-
known white man. lost his footing
while wading from the Union depot at
the foot of Government street and was
swept under. the bridge and drowned.
THE STORM IN LOUISIANA.
New ORLEANS, Oct. 3-Reports Of a
serious accident have been received
from Pointe La Hache and vicinity.
The steeple of the courthouse and the
Catholic church were blown down dur
ing the storm. Several houses were
wrecked, and it is said that four per.
sons were killed. Almost every planta.
tion on the lower coast has suffered.
1t is reported that three children were
killed in one of the little settlements
below Magnolia plantation.
