Hawaiian sugar if the islands become
a part of the United States. The sales
of his plantations have had some
thing to do with his family quarrels
i'll which he has been fighting his
sens.
The sugar plantations are own
ed almost altogether by Americans
They are capitalized at about $35 O00,-
QUO. Some of them have paid quite
large dividends, the average for the
past year having been about II per
cent. L am told that some plantations
have made double this. The fluctua-
tons, however, in the prices of sugar
nave been so great that the business
Is quite precarious. 1t is managed on
strict business principles, every means
which unlimited money can furnish be-
ing used to reduce the cost. Take, for
Instance the Eva plantation, which
made $1,000 tons of sugar last year,
and is now paying big dividends
This plantation has a capital of mil
lion dollars and about 100 stockholders.
1t made no money for years and was
spending vast amounts right along.
The plantation is eighteen miles from
Honolulu, and it comprises 5000 acres
Every foot of its cane has to be water
ed throughout the year by artesian
wells. 1t uses enormous pumping ma
chinery, which is imported from Amer
lea. Its first pumps came from New
Ofk, and 1t has just now put in
others made by Frazer & Chalmers,
of Chicago, at a cost of about 1000.
In another plantation near the Eva
they are putting in machinery built
by the WOrthington Pump. company Of
New York, and l am told that this
plantation alone will spend something
like $4,000 on it's extensions this year.
[ learn that there is little undeYelop.
ed sugar land in the islands. Such
new plantations as are made will have
to be irrigated by means of artesian
wells, and the cost is so great that it
will require very large capital. The
last three plantations which have
been established have cost, respective
~, $750,000 $1,0000O0 and $4,000, 600.
There is no room in sugar for the small
capitalist, and all of the plantations
are now managed by stock companies
1t takes sixteen months to grow the
crop, and only three crops can be
made in four years. Fertilizers to the
amount of 500, 900 were used on the

of this fertilizing matter was import

ceilings to Be Held This week.

The action of the convention of the State
Federation of Labor in favoring the levying
of a monthly per capita tax of 1 per cent on
Ehe membership of the unions affiliated with
that body was creditable to the delegates in
attendance. The proposition is to be sub
mitted tc a referendum vote of all the
unions, and 1t is to be hoped will meet with
approval In the past the federation has
been handicapped in its work through lack
of necessary revenue to properly organize
the working people of the state. If the per
capita tax meets with a favorable reception
organizers win be put to work Immediately,
and it is safe to predict that the result of
their labors will be Of such an encouraging

OBITUARY.


Goods children are gathering home"
On the 10th of February 1897, all that
was mortal of cousin Cordie Gettys
sailed out on the surging pillows of
death. She was born and raised in
North Carolina, but since her parents
death, which occurred about six years
ago, she had made her home with her
uncle, j. B. White, of Haws X Roads,
Tennessee. She was twenty two years
of age and was the oldest of four chill
dren.
Soon after her conversion, which oc.
Cured about five years ago,she entered
the communion of the Methodist Epis
copal Church, and in it she lived until
God called her 20 the fellowship of the
church triumphant. She had been a
sufferer of that dreaded disease, con
sumption, for about three years, but
bore her suffering patiently and cheer
fully. All that medical skill could do
for her was done but to no avail.
Even while with us her footsteps trod,
death 8 seal was ON her brow.
So appreciative of every kindness to
her, she often said that Everybody were
so kind and good to her. Just before
her death, she thanked her uncle and
friends for the kindness and attention
shown her during her afliction. She
talked composedly of death and con.
idently of going to heaven. She said
it seemed hard to die now, since she
was just entering womanhood, but if ii
was the Lords will to take her, she
was willing to go. Her body sleeps in
Bethesda cemetery but her spirit has
fed to that home above.
Thus our affections are being carried
over and heaven more endeared by the
ties that bind US there. She leaves
behind three brothers, many relatives
and friends to mourn her loss. But
our loss is her eternal gain, and though
she is gone, we hope to meet her again
where parting is no more, where vast
ing consumption is q stranger and
where pain and death are felt anC
feared no more.
Dear cousin:
Light be the turf of thy tomb
May its verdurs like emeralds be;
There should not be the shadow of gloom
In aught that reminds us of thee.
young flowers and an evergreen tree,
May spring from the spot of thy rest;
But nor cypress nor yew let there be,
For why should We mourn for the blest.
ORA WHITE.

MAY DAY.

Lloyd Bros. have moved their saw
mill out near New Victory where they
are cutting such fine lumber, and a
large quantity of it. They are certainly
hustlers, and know a good thing when
it comes along. Chas. Fipps, of Tel.
ford, gave your serb a pleasant call
Thursday. Come again, Charley, as
you will always find the latch string
on the outside. c. +. May, of this
place, will go to Knoxville about the
first of April to make his future home
with his son, Frank, of that place. He
has been n of us so long we are 10th
to see him go. j. G. Berry spent a
couple of days the first of the week in
Bristol and reports very hard rains
and high water, with some damage.
Quite a number of our young people
went over to EmbrevIlle Wednesday
night to be in attendance at a dance
given in the hotel by the proprietor.
All report a nice time, and it seemed
that from the way some of them look
ed on the following day it must have
been a crowder. A little child of Chas.
Constable died a few days since with
throat trouble, and was inferred in the
Cherokee Cemetery. j. w. Berry went
up or near johnson City in the interest
of his business, photography. The farm.
ers have been taking advantage of the
few warn days Of last week and have
been turning the soil preparatory of
their coming crops for the ensuing
year. Uncle Dot Deaderick and r. R.
Berry will go up to Unaka Springs as
o o as the cold snap is over to engage
in their favorite sport, fishing.

FREE HILL.

Well we taxpayers of the north side
would just like for the Chuckyites to
wait until the good people of this
county bridges over the hard times
before asking an increase of tax to
bridge Chucky. Why not give us a
bridge across the Holston at Spurgin's
depot, on the 3-C's railraid. We hope
these bridges will hold until the "Mc
Kinley wave of prosperity strikes
the taxpayers of the county financially
and then we will bridge the impossible
if necessary; meanwhile work and
wait. Speaking of Holston reminds us
of its present booming tide, some feet
above a boating tide. The screak of
an oar or the yell of a boatman warns
us the approaching log raft bound for
great saw log tied together with cross
timbers, swaying up and down as they
feel the breakers beneath. Two long
oars enable the steersmen to steer
safely to their destination. Many
thousands such logs annually 90 down

If we had manufactures to turn this
lumber into useful articles and i'm.
proved homes. The present session of
the school at Cedar Greek Academy
closes Thursday, March 4, but the clos
ing exerces will come off on Tuesday,
the ninth. Owing to a solid partition
put in the school building by the would
be wise man there is no room for an
audience, scarcely room for the school.
That partition should be replaced with
a movable one or have an enlarged
building. The Baptist meeting, which
has been going on for weeks at Ford
town, was extraordinarily exciting,

be along its route. 1t will take our
people some time before things can be

nine or ten feet above common water,

who has so much sickness in her
family, has a hard time, as the dark
cloud has hung over her home since
about Thanksgiving day and bids fair
to stay some time yet: her daughter,
Miss Callie, who has been so low, seems
to be improving; her two other daugh
ters are stricken down; her son, who
has been confined with rheumatism, is
some better. Mrs. Henry Hodges, who
had a large cancer removed from her
breast about the 10th, died from the
effects a few days later. Wheat, oats
and grass were looking fine during the
