REGISTER.

We desire to cali the attention
of the voters of this parish to the
fact that Act No. SO of the Acts
of the General Assembly of this
State, session of 1895, provides for
an annual registration of vo ers.
No person can vote at ensuing
elections unless registered anew
under the provisions of this Act.
On the second Tuesday in Janu-
uary, 1898, an elections will be held
for the approval or rejection of a
proposition to hold a Constitu-
tionaI Convention IN February of
the same year.
THIS is the most important cleo
ton ever held in the history of the
State. There is not a thinking
and unselfish man in all of Louis
lana who will not admit that this
Convention is of paramount and
supreme Importance.
1t must be held. The suffrage
must he reformed. The peace and
, prosperity Of this State must be
assured.
Opposition to this convention
and its purposes can only proceed
from selfish, interested or unpa.
triotic motives.
1t is the sacred duty of every
good citizen to register, and, with
his vote, aid the adoption of a
pnOpesition which has no purpose
save that of promoting the general
good of the State, and averting,
what must be, certain disaster

"Mr. D. Hart, manager of Ship=
land plantation, Issaquena coun-
ty, reports that cotton worms have
appeared on that place, though in
small numbers. He had personal
ly examined them and was posi-
tive they were not grass worms, as
some colonies of worms. supposed
to be the true cotton devourer,
have turned out to be. This was
notably the case on the Como
plantation, Yazoo county, as is
learned from q visitor from Yazoo.
Worms had been found there in
alarming numbers, but investiga-
ton showed that they were grass
worms. Mr.. Hart said negroes re-
ported cotton worms in East Car
roll parish, but so far he has not
heafd of them from more au-
thentic sources. He reports cot
ton looking extremely well and the
prospect for a good. yield, provided
there is late frost, very encour-
aging.
''Dr. Sol. Mcdowell, of Jackson,
Just returned from the delta, is in
the city and leaves for North
Louisiana this morning. He said
the cotton crop was very good, so
far as he has seen-this being
based on a long trip while inspect
ing the Richardson plantations
looked very we'll, though rather
small on the back lands"

The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1897-02-05

Mr.. Ward L. Smith, of Fredericks-
town, Mo-, was troubled with chronic
diarrhoea for over thirty years. Tie
had become fully satisfied that it was
only a question of a short time until
he would have to give up. He had
been treated by some of the best ply
sicians in Europe and America but got
no permanent relief. One day he
picked up newspaper and CHANGED to
read an advertisement of Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. He got a bottle of it, The
first dose helped him and its continued
use cured him. For sale by all drug
gists and dealers; Benson, Smith & Co.,

WILL SURPRISE.
The VeriscOpe Said to Be the
Wonder of the Age.

WOflUST OF the age.
The invention in photography that
throws pictures on a screen and re-
produces them in action is truly mar
vellous. In Europe the Veriscope was
q great success. The London Times
says regarding it:
Crystal Palace was crowded last
evening. the feature of the night being
the first exhibition of the Veriscope.
The large audience impatiently await
ed it's introduction. The first scene
presented was a southern plantation,
showing darkey cotton pickers at
work. They were natural and life
like, the grimaces of the comical race
keeping the audience in a constant
roar OF laughter. Tremendous ap-
plause greeted this picture. Though
we have all read OF life in the sunny
South few of us have had the oppor-
tunity to see any of it. The subject
being of universal interest should be
a great card. One scene that created
intense excitement, causing many to
stand up, was two dogs engaged in
deadly combat. So realistic was it
that a lady overcome by her feelings
cried out Shameful, disgraceful, sep
arate them Where are the con-
stables?"
The arrival of the Pennsylvania r.
r. ferry steamer at the slip in New
York City was greeted with deafening
applause. Many other scenes were
given and as the last one disappeared
there was prolonged enthusiasm and
the Veriscope was pronounced a most
wondrous exhibition"
There will be an exhibition at the
Hawaiian Opera House tonight. Tic
kets are on sale at Wall, Nichols Co.

American capital, aided by subsidies
from the different Governments con-
cerned and interested; and so far from
being connected with any OF the At
lantic cable people, they have OF late
years been in active competition for
some portion of the South American
territory, formally held exclusively by
those interested in the Atlantic cables.
Il am confident that the persons
whom / represent are not only thor
oughly in earnest, but have the eX-
perience and influence which will en-
able them TO accomplish an Hawaiian
cable. and also a cable to Japan; and
that no other American company has
the strength and ability or chances of
success which are possessed by and
are at the command of this Pacific
Gable Company.
while / do not anticipate that the
Hawaiian Government will take any
hasty or fIl-advised action upon this
application, / respectfully urge the
most rigid investigation into the truth
of the statements above made, being
confident that the Republic of Hawaii
will find it's interests subserved in a
most satisfactory manner by making
the engagements herein specified with
the Pacific Cable Company.
II have the honor TO be,
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
"(Signed) ALFRED HARTWELL,
Attorney for the Pacific Cable Co."
1t will be noticed in the letter of
withdrawal Gen. Hartwell says: You
will kindly observe, that the applica-
tion of that company Pacific Gable
Company TO the Government asks for
no exclusive franchise from Hawaii to
the United States" In the Pacific
Cable Company's application is the
following:
ALSO grant the said cable company
exclusive telegraphic rights and priyi-
Ieges for a period of not less than
twenty-five years for landing main
tanning and operating lines of sub
marine teIegraphic cable between any
and ali of the islands, composing the
Hawaiian group of islands, and all
other territory bordering on the Pa
cific or Indian Oceans, and adjacent
waters, excepting always the United
States OF America"
From this, it would appear that this
new application possesses all the OBJ
jectionable features, as to exclusive
rights, that Col. Spalding's contract
possesses. 1t is not an application for
a franchise without exclusive rights
whether a franchise is protected on
the east, west, north or south side of
the islands does not matter. The OBJ
ject of preventing any other company
from constructing a cable to these ISL
ands is accomplished all the same.

teen miles. The field was the largest
that ever started in a western road
race. nearly all of the SIT entries re-
spending to the call Of the starters.
The conditions were far from perfect,
last nights heavy rain having soft

Of the Decoration day road race, be-
ing given a handicap Of two minutes
and thirty seconds. The start was
scheduled for $50 a. M, but the great
number Of riders made the race a.
rather unwieldy affair, and it was
after 9 o'clock before the men were
sent away.
At least 5000 people lined the ropes
on the finish stretch, while probably
ten times that number witnessed the
race at different points on the course.
Anderson, the winner, pushed to the
front in the first mile and kept the
lead to the finish. The winner is
