Bank Commissioner Gardiner has taken charge of the Kingston Savings bank at Kingston. This action has been taken with the unanimous con- sent of the board of bank incorpora- tors.
 The commissioners found on exami- nation made June that owing to se- rious losses incurred by the failure of lc. H. Gay & Co. of Boston, and the collapse of certain enterprises f- nanced through that banking firm, in which the Kingston bank had unfor- tunately invested, that the bank had become impaired in it's condition and it was deemed advisable to permit the bank to do no business for the pres ent at least.
 In view of the fact that this insti- tuition holds large amount of securi- ties which are paying regular interest and dividends, 1t is believed by the commissioner that the earning power of the assets may rapidly restore the diminished resources of the bank and place it in safe and satisfactory con- dition.

How 6eninoles Bury Ineir Dead.
 Seminoles bury their dead on top of the ground, after wrapping them in blankets. but always leave the top of the head exposed. They build pen over the body and usually ehink it with earth. When his sQuaw dies, the husband wears his shirt until it rots off, which is not strikingly distinctive. When the husband dies, the squaw doesn't comb her hair for three months. Little reverence Is shown for the dead. When Tom Tigers grave was robbed and his bones taken for exhibition the outcry over the desc cration was almost wholly a news paper affair. The nearest settlers were unalarmed and the Indians indifferent. Prom "A Vanishing Race" by A. w. Dimook, in Golfers.

TWO FURNACES
To Be OPERATED
Consolidated Is Ready to Put
Second Furnace in Blast.
GREAT DEMAND FOR
PIG IRON NOW
Iron Makers Believe That
There Will be Another Ad-
Gs vance in Price.

The Alabama Consolidated Coal &
Iron Company is ready to blow in the
second furnace at this place. 1t is said
that the two furnaces will be in blast
for some time. 1t was the intention to
blow out the furnace that has been in
use for almost year and make some
repairs upon it. But it appears that
the furnace was making such an excel
lent record that it was decided that 1t
should remain in blast for some time
to come.
There is a strong demand for pig iron
and the local furnaces will not be able
to make as much as could be sold, it is
said. There is very little iron stacked
in the wards and the demand is becom'
ing stronger almost every day. The
mines are being worked with full force'
of men and the output Is large. Th'
repairs which have been under way a
Searles are about completed.
There has been great change il
tho price of pig iron the past week
is said there will probably be anothe
advance within the next few days
For the past few months the price G
iron has been advancing steadily an
while the iron and steel men claim tina
records will not be- broken, II is belie'
ed that prices will go very near whs
they were in 1907 within very sho'
time. &C Gadsden, Ala, Evening Jou

Steel Bankruptcy.

Chattanooga Times
When smoke began to pile out OF
the stacks of the Chattanooga furnace
Yesterday it was no bluff for the furn-
ace goes into blast this morning
promptly at O clock and the first run
of pig iron will take place tonight.
The Southern Iron and Steel COM
pany, which acquired possession OF the
Chattanooga furnace about six months
ago has since that time, expended near
ly $12O, 900 in repairs and the furnace
to day is as good as new. The furn-
ace originally was part of the prop
critics and holdings of the Southern
Steel company. This company went
into bankruptcy about two years ago
and since that time the furnace has
been cold, awaiting an adjustment or
the property.
The Southern Iron and Steel, new
company, was formed, which took ov-
er all of the properties and holdings OF
the Southern Steel company, OF which
the Chattanooga furnace was part.
Before again putting the furnace into
operation it was decided to thoroughly
over haul it and put it in first-cladE
condition. In following out this plan
therefore, the company began work or
the furnace nearly six months ago, no
finally completing the repairs unit
! last week.
' The furnace has a capacity of owe
200 tons of pig each twenty hours AM
, employs about 200 men. The Chatta
nooga furnace, because of its superio
construction, is able to surpass in dai
i ly production fully fifty tons man

From earliest childhood she has been
