We are proud of them, and proud to be represented by so many of the coun ty's most energetic, popular and am bitious young women. The courte ous treatment and the encouragment given them by the readers of this pa per are deeply appreciated by them and by us. Hundreds of subscribers who are behind with their subscrip lions and who have heretofore felt like time were too hard to let even a dollar go, are respectfully asked to remember us now that the outlook Is better and everybody ha agreed that folks are not going to he ruin ed. The paper is dependent wholly upon its subscribers and since wo arc sending you two papers for the price of one we feel sure that every one will strain a point and make their payments promptly and cheerfully when the young ladies call. Interest in the contest is becoming intense. Two things are responsible for this the contestants realize that they aro working for a paper worth twice the price asked for It and in an honorable and worthy work, also the readers of The Journal are showing their appreciation of the efforts of the management of the paper by ral lying to the support of the young la dies and the paper notwithstanding the grip of hard tlmos. The readers of the twice-a-week Journal realize that a newspaper is as subject to ad versity as any other enterprise and are gallantly standing by the con testants and the paper. They are called upon for only a small amount but it is these small amounts that make it possible for a paper to run. Instances of discourteous treatment of the contestants by the readers of The Journal are very rare more rare than ever before. This Is a fact that is greatly appreciated by both the management of the paper and the contestants alike. None of the sub scribers of The Journal are stopping, but on the other hand hundreds are paying up. Next Monday night twelve Gold Rings and one Gold Locket, and Chain will be awarded. It is for the individual contestant to say whether she will win one of these or not. The "power behind the throne" is the contestant herself not the manager of the contest. No one determines the standing of each contestant, but the contestant herself. There is no possible way of winning except by getting subscriptions. There1 are 5,000 people in the county who will subscribe if asked to, and they are waiting to be asked. You are urged to put forth your best effort NOW and not wait for a better period In the contest. There wil be none bet ter than the one we are now in. THK Bill BE HACKS FOB GROOM. Fmdcn Before Distinction Had Cut The British Cable. Toklo, Nov. 10. The German cruiser Emden, pursued by the Aus tralian cruiser Sydney, has been beached on one of the Coros islands. According to reports reaching Tokio, the captain and most of the crew of the Emden were saved. Previous to the engagement with the Sydney the Emden cut the British cable connecting the Cocos islands with the outside world. The ten constitutional amendments seem to have been assasinated in the house of their friends. War views are sent over to ui as war news. One of the (jueer Customs of the In din us Now Living in Florid A Primitive People Going to the Wall. "'; the editor of The Journal: Allow me space In your paper to tell the people of I'nion county of the Seminole Indians in Florida. That there is a tribe of Indians In this state is a fact unknown to many peo ple in our country. The Seminoies are bright copper In color, with regular features, jet black eyes, long, broad nose and firm mouth. The men's hair is cut close to the head except the scalp-lock, which is braided and concealed under their head-gear. They are over six feet in height and are almost all of them perfect types of physical excel lence. I've never seen an American who was their equal iu strength. One day last week one came Into the rail road camps carrying a large deer. If you people were to sec how they dress, you would be compelled to laugh. The men wear no trousers at all, hut wear full skirts reaching only to the knees. These skirts resemble the full-sleeved shirtwaist of a few years ago. They sometimes wear moccasins made of hides, but are usually barefooted. They have adopt ed none of the pale face's garments except the vest. No matter what the temperature is they wear from three to eight vests. Another oddity in from three to a dozen bright bandan na handkerchiefs knotted loosely around their necks. They take great pride in possessing a largo number of bandannas. No hats are worn but some kind of something is twist ed around their heads which people say Is never taken off. The women are not as tall as the men, but are as healthy and robust as can be. Some of the young wo men are quite pretty and far more graceful than the average American girl as they do not know of the "tan go slouch" and other new fangl-jd gaits. Only in one -way do they pal tern after white women ami that Is In the manner of hair dressing. The hair in front is cut with hang!) on a level with the eyes, while the back hair U twisted into seme kind of a pysche knot. They love gold r.nd jewels as passionately as the white woman. All the money given to them is beaten out and made into neck laces, though beads are their chief adornment, as they wear sometimes a dozen strings of gay colored boi'tis. Even the wee tots wear them. The dress of the squaw is simple consist ing of a straight full skirt made long enough to hide the feet. The shirt waist is a long-sleeved affair which fails to meet the waist line by about two Inches. This garment Is made loose enough to slip ou over the head. A large collar completes the dress. No head dress of any kind is worn. Neither do they wear moc casins. In winter or summer they go barefooted. One peculiarity Is a shawl around their shoulders which is worn through the hot dnys as well as the cold ones. Judging from apearances, I should sny that the dresseB are worn from the time they are made until completely worn out The houses of these queer people are built in low marshy places. They are made of palmetto leaves and the skins of animals. You only see a Tew board houses and even these have palmetto roofs. They are push ed into the most desolate lands of Florida, down in the Everglades. Now the Florida East Coast Railway is draining these swamps and soon a railroad will be completed, and the Indians will have no place to go They now have no regular settle ments and do not wander as (hoy once did. Veiy few of them leave tho camps at one time. I've been told that there are about six hundred Indians In the State. These are divided Into four differ ent bands, living apart from each other. These are the Miami Indians, the Big Cypress Indians, the Talla hasses and the Akeechohies. We've only the Indians of the Akeechohee band. They have no great chief now and do pretty much as they please, though they have some laws of their own. Tho white man's laws In no way effect them. The Akeechohccs are very indus trious. They hunt and raise corn, sugar cane and all kinds of vegeta bles. The men make canoes and sell them to the white men. Hides and meats of all kinds are sold by them. The game laws of Florida do not ef fect them as they are protected by our government. Recently, Tommy Doctor sold a deer hide here for $96. 16. When selling turkey or venison, they never call them by their names, as they are very suspicious of the white man. They'll ask If you want to buy "chicken" or "wild-cow." The turkey's sell for fifty cents each and venison Is about six rents a pound. No implements of the whites have been adopted save a few cooking ves sels and wagons. They have no horses, but the wagons are pulled by oxen. You never see less than four oxen to ono wagon. There's nothing in the wagon, save the owner's squaw and "pickaninnies", as they call their children. The owner of the team always walks. He thinks It a disgrace to ride. Of the private life of a Seminole little Is known. They are very re ticent when questions become too personal and generally walk away leaving your questions unanswered. Sometimes they'll answer "me don't know." Like some of the white men, the Indian Is no prohibitionist and likes "wy-o-mee," whiskey. They will give anything they bare for a drink of whiskey or a package of sweet crackers. One strange thing when a few are going on a "spree," they select always one of their crowd to remain sober to take care of them. The one selected never takes a drop no matter how much he wants to. The Indians never take the name of Cod in vain. He is held in great reverence. Another thing, they al ways reverence the white woman. She may talk to them, play the pi ano or sing for them, but they never appreciate it. When asked their opinion, the answer is always "white man's squaw is heap pretty." The Indians believe in a heaven. When one dies and you ask some of them where they think he has gone they will give funny answers. It he thinks he has gone to heaven he will say, "After big sleep, he hunt plenty of deer, plenty turkey find, drink cool water all time." If ha thinks he has gone elsewhere, he will say, "After big sleep, hunt deer, turkey, no find 'em, drink hot water all the time." The men woo their sweethearts in an odd way. The men select the girl they want for a wife. Then he must run a race with her. Folks here say the women are so much fleeter than the men. If the girl wants the man, she lets him beat her in the race: if not. she outruns him, and he must se lect another girl. One good characteristic of the In dian is that he never tells a lie. They speak a broken English, but have no desire to learn to read and write,. They have no desire to be like white men. Their opinion Is that "E8ta-had-kee (white man) be ojus (much.)" Few white men have ever gained their confidence and a ne gro is thoroughly despised by them. Indians have their own names, but Tom Tiger, Billy Bowlegs, Wild Cat and Johnny Doctor are white man's names for them. White people are often Invited to their festivals but you'd better not go without an Invitation. Though still an uncivilized people. I find (hem very Interesting and I never tire of hearing (hem (alk and sell their goods. K. G. HINSON, New Smyrna, Fla. WhnIimw ami Vicinity News. Waxhaw Enterprise.

Those who attended the celebration say it was a most enjoyable occasion. Our Bond's Grove correspondent sa3 that "considering the times, Rev. W. F. Sandford goes to confer ence with a very creditable showing from Bond's Grove church. Confer ence claims were paid in full, togeth er with the pastor's salary, and jit.OU over. A few dollars remain to be paid on missions. Last week a kid hobo from Virgin ia marooned in Waxhaw, caused some little excitement when he boarded a through freight which was speeding through town at something like thlr ty-Iive miles an hour. After spend ing two days In town he was hanging around the postofflce awaiting, so he said, the arrival of a northbound freight. He told the boys he was out of coin and had decided to catch a train for home. His fateher had sent him money to pay railroad fare, but the boy wasted It in riotous liv ing. After telling a long line of va ried experiences of boarding and alighting from trains a big freight came in sight. Without saying any thing further he waited till about half the length of the train had pass ed and then he sauntered slowly to wards the railroad. No one thought he bad any idea of taking passage, but when he reached the track he swung on to a car and was soon in a safe position. A large crowd ran out to the road expecting to see the boy (lushed to the ground, but they were disappointed. THE SEA KAIDF.lt HlltNED. Ileeeive Increase In Salary.

German Cruiser Which Had Played Havoc With British Commerce at 11 Destroyed by English Cruiser From Australia. London Dispatch, Nov. 10. It was officially announced in Lon don today that the German cruiser, Emden, has been driven ashore and burned. The losses among the officers and crew of the Emden are reported to have been very heavy. The Emden was destroyed by the Australian cruiser Sydney. She was driven ashore on the Island of the Coros or Keeling group, southwest of Java in the Indian ocean. The Sidney sighted the Emden yesterday morning. With superior speed she at once closed in and gave battle. The German boat could not e?cape. There was a runniug fight, at the end of which the Emden, burn ing from the shells of the Australian boat, was beached. The casualties of the Sydney are said to be light. The Eiaden has contributed to the history of war one of its remarkable chapters. For sheer audacity and success she has few parallells cer tainly none since the Alabama, the famous old Confederate ship, was roaming the seas. Twenty-two ships mostly British have been sunk, and one has been captured by the German cruiser. Since early in August the Emden has been at work. Most of the time she was preying on British shipping in the Indian ocean but appeared at Penang, on Malacca straits. It was here that the Emden performed her most daring feat. A fourth smoke stack was rigged on her deck and a Japanese flag run up. Thus disguis ed she steamed bodly Into the har bor, passing unchallenged under the British guns at the fort and fired tor pedoes which sank the Russian cruis er Jemptchug and a French destroy er. Then she steamed away and es caped unschathed. The vessels destroyed by the Emden had a total value of about $4,000. 000. exclusive of (heir cargoes. The Emdeu's largest guns are only 4.1. Of (hese she had ten. Her speed of 21.5 knots was her i.roatest asset, j;s she was nbla to run down merchant ships with ease and t hen escape from larger but slower vessels that pur sued her. British, Russian, French and Japanese warships in the east had bot-n attempting for weeks to put an end to her career. It has been more or less of a mys tery to naval men how the Emden has been able to keep at sea month alter month without running short of coal and supplies. It is assumed however, (hat she has obtained suf licient food and fuel to meet her needs from captured ships. In at least one Instance this is known to have been done. The captain of the British steamer Exford, captured bv the Emden In the Indian Ocean re ported to her owners that the com mander of the Emden said before he sank the Exford he intended to take on board his cruiser (he 7.000 (on of steam coal with which the Exford was laden. The first report of the activity of the Emden was reclved August 6, when she was said to have been sunk in action with the Russian cruiser Aslcold off Wei-Hal-Wei. This was contradicted a few days later when word was received that the Emden had sunk the steamer City of Win chester on August 5, and steaming in to the Bay of Bengal a few days la ter, had sent two more British ships to the bottom. Within three days she had su'ik four vessels here. She was accom panied by the Hamburg-American steamer Markomnnnia ha a collier The Markoinannita was sunk on Oc tober 16 off Sumtra by a British cruiser. Leaving the bay of Bengal the Em den sank three British steamers in the Indian ocean on Sept. 14th. On September 22 she appeared off Mad ras and shelled (he city, extinguish ing her lights and disappearing when the forts replied. Then she renewed her activity in the vicinity of Ragoon, where more British vessels fell prey to her. Again she disappeared and was not heard from until she turned up at Penang. The captain of the steamer Tarom put Into Sydney, N. S. W., yesterday and reported that after the success of the Emden at Penang she was over taken bv a British cruiser but being a fastershlp was able to escape. Two store ships accompanying her were left behind and the British cruiser captured one and sank the other. PRESIDENT'S HANDS I I'll ELD. DECISION SCON EXPECTED. Obeyed Instruct Ions. One of the bosses at Baldwin Lo comotive Works had to lay off an ar gumentative Irishman named Pat, so he saved discussion by putting the discharge in writing.

BATTLE FOB THE OUST SEEMS TO HAVE BEACHED THE CKICIAL STAGE. While the Ilassian Are Gaining Ground in the Eastern War ne, The Germans Have Started With Renewed Visor in Their Efforts to Defeat the English and French -The Destructk-n of the Famous German Haider of the Seas Has Put Heart Into the English. The dispatches say that a crucial stage has been reached in the fight ing which the Germans have been forcing for weeks in their attc mpt to capture the seacoast towns in France and make them a basis for attack upon England. The Germans, with all the forces at their command, have continued to attack (he British and French who hold the line between Dixaiud3 and Ypres, but except for the rapture of Dixmude, which occurred Tuesday, and some little progress around Ypres, they have not made material advance. The French official report s:vs all the attacks have been re pulsed. The Germans ro longer are utilizing green troops in this region but have brought up the pick of their army, including some Prussian guards, who attempted an offensive movement against the British but without success. Both sides express satisfaction with the progress of the battle. Berlin says the Allies' attacks have been repulsed and that their own attack is making headway; while in London and in Paris it is felt that so long as the Allies can hold the line of the canal from Nieuport to Ypres their position is strong. In France, from the northwest to (he fouthwest, there have ber;i en gagements of lesser importance, in which, according to the Fr icH rn por(, Geneial Jofire's arieits have gainod ground pn slrens'lit-ned their positions.
