TRUSTEES MEET
Mr.. SWanzy Talks TO Them on

Mr.. Swauzy Talks to Them on
the Japanese Labor Question.
The trustees of the Planters
Labor and Supply Co., met in the
office of w. o. Smith on Saturday
afternoon for the purpose of receiv-
ing and hearing the report of Mr..
Swanzy, who has just returned
from a lengthy visit to Japan.
During his absence Mr.. Swanzy
devoted great deal of time and
attention to the study of the Japa-
nese labor question, and familiar
lied himself with the workings of
every branch of it. Mr.. Swanzy
gave the trustees the benefit of his
experiences, and his remarks were
listened to with much interest.
From all he could gather Mr..
Swanzy inclined to the belief that
the recent demand made upon the
planters here for an increased
amount of money in connection
with the transportation and deliv-
cry of contract Japanese laborers,
was somewhat of a political nature.
He further stated that Japan was
full of politics just at the present
time, and the demand mentioned
owed its existence to that fact, and
was advocated for the purpose of
gaining political influence among
the Japanese laboring classes. No
official business was transacted at
the meeting.

The Helvetia Betting used
on plantations is as care
fully selected as any part of
the machinery in the mill. For
the past year we have handled
this betting and we have
bought only of the best made.
By a strict attention to the
wants of plantation managers
in this respect we have estab-
lished a reputation for having
the best of supplies. If there
is an article that we deal IN q
shade better than the best, it
is Helvetia Betting, and we
can fill orders for any
quantity.
With our customary desire
to keep what people want and
what they ask for nearly every
day in the week, we have en-
parked in a new line: Ready
Mixed Paints, put up in var
ious sized tins and suited to
the wants of people who wish
to do a little painting them
selves OF who prefer buying
their paints and employing a
man to do the work. We
have the ''Hendry Ready Mix
ed" in twenty-seven different
shades for inside and outside
work. Ten gallons of it will
paint 5000 square feet of
boards. We have the latest
colors and can supply cards
showing how the body of the
house may be painted one
shade and trimmed with an
other at a slight cost.
The Stroud Self-basting Pan
for roasting beef in without
the bother of watching it while
it cooks is an article that

SURPRISING.

Among those who still claim that
the overthrow Of the present gov
eminent and the restoration of the
ex-queen by force is practicable or
possible, there are probably q few
Individuals minority of a minor
ity-who really believe what they
profess. For the edifcation Of
these credulous souls, and particu-
larly for the enlightenment Of those
who seem to devote their abundant
leisure to devising 'plan of cam
paign" and telling every one who
viii listen to them Just how the
thing might or could or should be
done, we propose a hypothetical
case; in other words, we will in
dulge in few suggestions.
Suppose then that somebody
should be found who was foolish
enough to spend 4 lot of money in
purchasing arms and ammunition
for the royalists. Suppose again
that & vessel laden with this ma
terial should slip through the fin
gers of the Z. S. officials and get
safely away from some American
port. Suppose once more that this
vessel should escape the vigilance
of our own local officials and of the
United States forces in our waters.
and land her cargo at some point
on our coast. Suppose finally that
all these munitions of war were
safely distributed among those for
whom they were intended, and the
Provisional government knew moth
ing about it. Surprising, We repeat,
that all these highly improbable
events should come to pass; that
all these unreasonable suggestions
should harden into accomplished
facts, how much nearer would the
ex-queen and her partizans be to
the contamination of their designs?
Not the fractional part of one inch.
The reason is simple and obvi-
Gus. What these people need is
not rifles and cartridges, but men !;
and in this kind of business it is
quality that tells rather than num-
bers. What the royalist cause
needs is not merely men, but men
Of brain and character, men of
capacity and courage, men who are
capable Of forming q coherent and
practicable plan of operations, who
are ready to risk their lives in car
rying il into effect, and who can
command the respect and conf
dence of their followers. If the re-
storationists have any of this kind
Of material in their ranks the world
IS profoundly ignorant of the fact.
II there are any men among them
who possess the above necessary
qualifications for the desperate IN
dertaking they have on hand, none
of them have ever said or done
anything from which the public
could even suspect their existence.
There have been several times
in the course of the last half dozen
years when the presence and lead
ership of such men was badly
needed, but in no single instance
did the hour produce the man. In
view of the ridiculous and even
pitiable exhibition these people
have always made of them
selves in every critical time, and
especially in January last, it can
hardly be expected that the public
should regard them with any feel
ing more serious than contempt.
Would-be leaders who hold mid
night gatherings, and meet in
secret cOnclave to plot the over
throw Of the government and the
destruction of its supporters in fire
and blood, and who then fill them
selves up with good liquor" until
they give the whole business away

The Dnctnr,s Story.

Canon MacColl quotes remarkable
case related to him by physician who
had been pupil of Sir Charles Bell,
the eminent author of "Thc Bridge.
water Treatise on Hand Sir Charles
used to tell the following story to his
class: "A surgeon who went over the
field of Waterloo after the battle found
a man lying with his scalp cut off by a
saber-stroke. He picked up the scalp,
and finding the man breathing but un
conscious, he ordered him to be placed
among the wounded, clapping at the
same time the severed scalp on his
head, in order that it might be buried
with him, for he did not expect that
the poor man would recover. The fol-
lowing day. however, he found the
man conscious and the scalp adhering
to his head, but with the ends re-
versed, for the surgeon, thinking the
man was dying, took no pains to fix the
scalp properly. The man recovered,
but had to wear his scalp wrong end
forward. ."-London News.

THE SULTAN KEEPS HIS WORD
And Three Hundred Armenians nrc Ek-
ccuted by Drowning.

1t is said that foreign ambassadors
to Turkey recently complained to the
sublime porte that the prisons of Con-
stantinople were ovcrcrowded with
political prisoners from Armenia The
government decided to remove the
cause of the complaint and shipped 800
of the prisoners on board n man-of-
war for transportation to Africa. The
vessel was only gone very short time,
however, and it was a mystery what
had become of the prisoners until Il
Russian merchant vessel in the harbor
of Constantinople, while raising her
anchor few days since, brought up
with it fifteen hair-cloth sacks. such as
are used by Turkish merchants for
packing goods for shipment. At first
the Russian thought that he had found
traces Of sinugglers, but when he came
to examine the sacks he found that
they were filed with human bodies,
eighteen or twenty in a sack. The
bodies were nscertained to be those of
Armcnians. 1t is said that the grand
vizicr said not long ago that he would
settle the Armenian question by ami
hilating the Armcnians, and he is
thought to be in fair way to fulfill
his threat. The matter has been re-
ported to Russia, as it is thought that
some of the murdered Armenians were
Russian subjects.

Young Girl Submits to Disagreement
and Torture to savo Her Brother.

Ono of the most remarkable and deli
cate operations in the line of what is
known as skin grating was performed
at the City hospital at Rochester, N.
y. the other morning by DIR. Charles
Il. Barber and several of the house sur
gcons A little over two weeks before
Arthur Wheeler, aged five years, was
PLAYING near his house with some other
children. They started II bonfire OF
dead leaves While Arthur was run
ming about the flames he stumbled and
fell into the fire. His coat caught fire,
and before the flames could be ex-
tinguishcd his entire breast, abdomen,
and one side We're frightfully burned.
The boy has been, ever since the acci-
dent, in u precarious condition, the
burns being so extensive that no new
skin could form.
1t was at last decided that the only
thing that could save the little suffer-
er's life was to engraft the skin of some
healthy person on the burned parts,
and efforts were made to secure some
one to consent to such an operation. 1t
was suggested at last that Miss Minnie
Wheeler, the l7-year-old sister of the
boy, would be just the subject. Miss
Wheeler naturally demurrcd ut first to
such proposition. but finally con-
scntcd when She was convinced that
her brothers life was ut stake
Saturday morning Miss Wheeler and
her little brother were taken to the
city hospital-that being considered n
better place than the home of the
patients-and the operation was per-
formed. Miss Wheeler was placed un-
der the influence of ether and strips of
skin from both thighs and one of the
hips were shaved of with sharp razors,
and transferred to the body of the
little brother. A slight idea of the
operation may be gained when it is
stated that enough of the epiderm!s to
cover two square feet of the burned
boys body was removed from the
young woman. One piece Of skin that
was removed extended from just above
the knee fully nine inches along the
thigh. The girls limbs were swathcd
in bandages and she was taken home
in an ambulance. the boy remaining in
the hospital. 1T is expected tina. n
new cuticle will have put in an ap-
pearancc inside of ten days and that
Miss Wheeler will have entirely re-
covered before the first of December.
