MIR. Latimer said that he had been
travelling over South Carolina lately

Reunion club, which will canvass the

their help comfortable apartments
could be secured for all.
Chairman Parks in speaking OF the
point made by Mr.. Cunningham, said
that when Nashville was first selected
as the place for the reunion he was
afraid the undertaking was too large
and that they would fall short of
Richmond in their efforts. Now he
felt that they would outstrip that city,

that will ever be held by the Confed-

the comfort and entertainment OF the
visiting veterans, and nothing will be
left undone to make every one enjoy
themselves. The Nashville daughters
of the Confederacy will entertain their

see that they are comfortable and en-

HELD FOR FORGERY.
Governor Ellerbe Has a Charleston Law.
yer Arrested.

The Columbia State says Governor
Ellerbe, after making considerable
effort, has succeeded in having w. z.
Klein, an attorney practicing at the
Charleston bar, arrested on the seri'
Gus charge of forgery. So far the
governor says something over $1,000
in forgeries have been traced up and
laid at the door of Mr.. Klein. IT ap
pears that he is charged with forging
the signature of the master of Charles
ton county to certain certificates
to direct tax claims sent here
during the administration OF
Governor Evans. Upon the forged
certificates the money was ordered
paid to him. The affidavit is made
by Mr.. w. Gibbes Whaley, master OF
Charleston county. Governor Ellerbe
was informed that Klein had gone to
Birmingham and he had wired there
asking the authorities to arrest and
hold him.
Wednesday afternoon he received a
dispatch from Magistrate r. G. Gill
christ of Charleston stating that Klein
was in his custody, but that he had not
committed him as he was getting
bon dsmen.
Governor Ellerbe found the case
open when he came into Office. The
matter had been talked over during
Governor Evans administration. but
nothing was done aside from eff orts
being made to compromise it.
It seems that, as stated above, the
matter has to sign certain certificates
in the matter of these direct tax claims
which had to be sent on to the COVER
nor before the money was paid out to
anyone. The certificates, which were
shown to Master Whaley, and pro
nounced to be forgeries so far az
his signature was concerned, were
carefully examined and are being
held as evidence. A short time
ago Gov. Ellerbe sent for Mr.. Wha'
ley and about ten days ago he made
the proper affidavit and the warrant
for Klein's arrest was issued. Cover.
nor Ellerbe Wednesday night stated
that he had traced up already forge
rles amounting to some 81, oOU anu ne
didn't know how much more ne
would find.
The governor, in speaking of this
particular case to q representative OF
The State, said that he proposed to
push it to the end. He also took occa
sion to say that all State or county Of
icials who fall short in their accounts
under his administration, or who may
have already been found short, may
as we'll understand now and at once
that they canuot expect stny mercy
from him. He stated emphaticallY
that he proposed to have every such
case that was brought to light prosecut
ed to the full extent of the law, and
no compromise must be expected by
anyone.

Violated the Law.

Quite a sensation was caused in Co.
lum bia on Wednesday by the arrest
of Mr.. r. +. Martin, one of the mem
bers of the county board of control,
upon a charge of official misconduct
consisting of violations of the dispen-
sary law. The warrant was issued by
Magistrate Clarkson upon an affidavit
made by E. B. Curtis, a former local
dispensary clerk. In the affidavit MIR.
Martin is charged with first violation
of the dispensary law in that he
drank in local dispensary and a
second violation of the law in that he
did not sign an application for the
liquor or pay for it. When MIR. Mar.
tin appeared before Magistrate Clark
son the magistrate consented 10 delay
the preliminary examination until
May 1, and Mr.. Martin gave bond
for his appearance at that time. The
case is the first OF its kind to be
brought and in view of the circum-
stances will doubtless be watched
with much interest through the courts.

members of the boards of control can
by virtue of their office sample
liquors in the dispensaries over which

SNAGS AND GAGS,
With Some Allusion to Hawaiian
 Ghosts.

With Some Alluson to Hawaiian To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 The latest obstruction that annexa- ton has met in Washington recalls many of the ancient manners and GUS toms in that much cussed and discuss ed group of islands.
 In the ancient times every Hawaiian believed in ghosts with all his might, and the air was filled with the invisi- ble visitants after nightfall. The bare suspicion that some one who professed to have pull with the "uhane" (ghost) was using his pull for getting rid of rival or an enemy would often make the rival or enemy fade away and die from sheer fright. This was called praying him to death' and the pray ing one was called "kahnna," or sor- cerer. After the good CD King Kameh- meha III. gave the people a constitu- tional government the common people found their pull with the ghosts failed to connect when aimed at the law-mak- ing bodies, and the sacred right of pe- tition came to be exercised, but in peculiar way in many instances.
 These petitions were aimed at va riety of grievances and the representa- tive who failed to present the proper number of petitions upon the subjects which touched his constituents most forcibly would meet a chilling recep- ton when the session was over and his report was made and his name would be "Dennis" at the next election. It was also expected that "the member" would attend to all the details of the petition, such as drawing it uLAin due form and in many cases signing the proper number of names, and from the peculiar nomenclature of the Hawaii ans this could be done without any risk of being hauled up for forgery. There were no patronymics among them out side of the royal name Of the king and that died out years ago.
 For example a very common name

A woman can freely talk of her private illness to woman. Thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinl1ham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case.

among them was Kamaka (which means the eye or the face), and was given to both males and females. Now, if male Kamaka should happen by chance to marry woman bearing the same name the first born, whether girl or boy, might be named Ohule (bald heaO and the next one Wawai foot) and the third one perhaps Opunni (big b), corpulent, and so on, but none of them would of necessity bear the name of father or mother. Nor did the wife take the name of the husband when married nor vice versa. In many cases sacred or English names were given with such changes as were needed to adapt them to the peculiar vocal organs of the natives, such as Moke (two syl- lables) for Moses, Loke (two sylables) for Rose, Lahela for Rachel, etc. A most hideous looking native, with strong suspicion of negro blood, was named Mikahana in loving memory of one MT Hunt, who many years before this boys birth had been a missionary in Hawaii for brief period.
 Now. as to this monster petition with 21 900 Hawaiian names, it may proper ly be set down as "spook'' of the thin- nest kind. There are only about SO,00o Hawaiians all told in Hawaii, and the man who believes that two-thirds or one-tenth even of that number have put their names to any petition of any sort is entitled to the honorary degree of A. s. & without depositing any fee whatever. The most popular grievance
 ,;.i. s,t NOI in, the days when petitions were in fash ion was the dog-tax Gone dollar for every pup, large or smalD, and that rarely received more than one hundred signatures, simply because the mem Der who was to. present it got tired or hungry when he had covered one or two pages with names mostly imag- mary.
 But there is a spook or snag you will call it, which has not yet been located in this annexation matter. and it is of such a dangerous nature that I almost dread to mention it, But to be fore warned is to he thrice armed and l shall call attention to it.
 Away back in the forties there was an ancient Britisher on one of the is- lands whose front name was William, and his swearing would have given a high commission in "our army that swore so roundly in Flanders" He came to be known among natives as we'll as white men by the singular name of "William ---- you" When Will liam got drunk, which was very often, he always wound up his season of exe- cration by taking dreadful oath that he would scuttle the blank, blank s- lands and sink them" But death caught William on the fly one day and the islands were spared that dreadful calamity.
 But if his "spook' should decide to take a hand in this business and con- clude to avenge his sudden taking off by putting this threat in execution, those people in Hawaii who are for as well as those who are 'agin 1t" would be in the soup together for few short hours! Can you imagine anything more dreadful? The bare thought of this impending catastrophe is appal- ling and in view of what may happen when Williams ghost comes on deck shall we dare to think of anneXing Ha- waii? well, I guess!" ***
