INDIAN RELICS UNEARTHED.
Edward Hughes Pillow Upturns An
Enrthen Pot In Screven County.

Sylvania, Ca, Oct, 22.-While blowing
in rye in his field on the Savannah river
near HerschmaD, in this county, two days
ago. Edward Hughes brought to light some
very interesting relics. His plow struck
against something hard, and upon investi-
eating he discovered two old Indian pots
or urns just below the surface of the
ground. One was in an upright position
and the other was turned over it, as a
cover. Within were a lot of small pieces
of bone, and the pots had evidently been
used as a funeral urn to hold the ashes
of some brave The finding of the bones
within the pot is rather an unusual oc
currence, as 1t is not known that the In
dams ever cremated their dead. Possibly
they are the remains of an infant, but
the pieces are SO small it is hard to tell
The vessels are of the usual Indian make
of red earthenware, and measure about u
inches across the mouth. One was broken
but the other is intact. They are now,
with their funereal contents. in the pos
session of Col. r. Lee Moors of States.
boro Ca, who was at Mr.. Hughes home
at the time, and to whom to he gave
them.
This section of Screven county, for sew
eral miles along the Savannah river seems
to have been a favorite stamping ground
of the Creeks who lived and hunted here
more than a century ago, Numbers of rel
les, in the way of pots, tomahawks, and
stone mortars for pounding corn, have
been found there at various times, and
there Is an old Indian burial mound some
where in that locality, just on the borders
of the swamp.
1t has been suggested that possibly these
last unusual relics which Mr. Hughes
plowed UP in his field contain the dust
of some old Spanish cavalier who, two
centuries ago, fell In the forests of Geor-
gia, victim to the malaria of the river,
or, may be, an Indian arrow; and that
dying, far away from home and loved
ones, his body was cremated by his COM
rades and his dust deposited in these
rude urns. This does not seem so alto
gether fanciful, when it is remembered
that the Spanish invaders, bearing the
sword and the cross, must have marched
several times up and down the banks of
the Savannah. and that an old piece of
armor, which undoubtedly dates back to
those days of wild adventure. was dug up
a few years ago in this county, near the
same spot where the bones were discov-
cred this week.
At all events, the pots and bones are a
reality, and there is much room for ro-
mantle speculation.

Frogs a Century Old Cracking ut the

A strange story of a frog is told us by

the old Richie place, which abounds with
relies of early days. is an old log spring
house, built at the beginning of the CEN
fury by John Richie, the inventor of the
sour mash process of making whisky. A
never failing stream of ice-cold water
flows into this old house, forming a pool
several feet deep. Here, since John Ritch-
lie left Lynns Fort and built himself an
independent dwelling, it is alleged giant
bullfrog has had It's home AS the frog
family is endowed with great longevity, it
is said by those who ought to know that
is is reasonable to suppose that the frog
is the same one which took up its resi-
dence in the Richie spring house in pio-
neer times. What lends color to this the
Dry is the fact that there has never been
but one frog seen in the neighborhood of
the old spring, and Mr.. Stephens Richie
now a man well advanced in years. states
that this same frog, or one very similar
to it, had its home in the spring when
he was a child, and that he has often
heard his grandmother term the frog her
rain sign. The frog is said to be of vast
proportions, with a thunderous voice that
can be heard a great distance. 1t is very
active, and shows no evidence Of its CEN
fury or more of years.

Rela lively the greatest activity in trade
Is reported by Kansas City and Omaha
merchants. While quarantine regulations
have been raised in Texas and modified in
Louisiana, business throughout most of
the Gulf states remafs practically at
standstill. Almost all the larger eastern
cities report a decreased movement of mer-
chandise and a tendency of collections to
fail away, notably Baltimore, owing to its
southern connections. The industrial sit
uation continues to furnish employment to
as many persons as at any preceding pc
riod this year, and at higher wages. Pro-
duction of iron. steel, machinery, stoves,
car structural work, glass, and wooden
goods continues heavy. Steel mills have
orders to carry them into 1898, and
decline contracts for next years delivery.
This explains the advance in the price of
Bessemer pig iron, while the foundry
grades remain unchanged. The extraordi-
narily heavy and steadily increasing pro-
duction Of iron is starting up furnaces
long out of blast, and although consump-
ton is heavy, It is not improbable that
production may outrun it in the near fu-
ture, which constitutes an unfavorable
point in the outlook

ada this week amount to $3.50, III bushels,

FROM ARTISTS MODEL TO WEALTH
Romance of "A Pretty Girl Who Posed
in studios.
From the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
New York, Oct 1.-THE romance of
an artists model, who has been posing
under the name of Miss Helen Long
streth, just disclosed, has aroused great
interest among the workers In the art stu
dents league. The girl, who Is very pref
ty, and had been thrown on her own re-
sources entirely, began to pose for her
head but finding her vocation in that line
exhausted, finally yielded to her necessi-
ties and posed lin the altogether" in
which she has been In great demand
among the studios. A few days ago, while
on the model throne, she received a letter
from her lover to whom she had been
long betrothed, ana who she referred to
as Mark" telling her that he had earn
ed a fortune of a couple of million dol
lars through his efforts in the Klondike
region, and that he was coming on to
share his good fortune with her little
later a telegram notified her that MARK
had arrived in town. Miss Longstreth at
once cancelled all her engagements as a
model and 1t Is understood has gone west
to be married.
Sculptor Lindstrom, who knew Miss
Longstreth, had this to say about her:
"she had several things in her favor. She
had a beautiful head and face, a figure
much above the average and an ideal
back. In addition to this. she had aston
ishing strength and vitality, and was able
to hold a pose for a marvellous length of
time. 1t is seldom that any of the models
can pose for more than three hours a
day, but Miss Longstreth would pose for
seven or eight, and her time was always
filed.
I'm the first two years she managed to
save $500, and the strangest part of the
whole story is that she speculated with
this money i'm Klondike mining stock As
yet she has had no return from it. and al
ways spoke of it as d most venturesome bit
of work.
The temptations and vicissitudes that
that girl has endured during the last three
years are enough to fill a book. How she
has withstood the trials and temptations
which have been thrown in her way is be-
yond my comprehension. She really puts
Trilby in the shade"
