GETTING IN FLOUR
Col. TOIer Has Already Received
Contributions

Mr.. n. G. Toler, the recently commits
stoned Seventh district committeeman of
Governor Leedy TO have charge of the
collecting, storing and shipping of the
Cuban relief donations. is jubilant over
the very satisfactory present condition of
the work, as well as the favorable out
look for the future.
Just last evening, without any solicit
ing, Mr.. ]. f. Howard. of the Union
Mills, informed Mr.. TOler that he would
subscribe loo pounds of -four TO the fund
to be delivered at any time 10 suit the
committees convenience. Editor Reed of
the Nulvane Record, wrote him a very
aging letter yesterday. saying that
the people around that section were very
enthusiastic over the work and were re-
spending literally to the call for aid from
across the sea. Mr.. Reed also asked for
definite instructions regarding the ship
ping of the produce. as he said It was
commencing to accumulate on their
hands. Others all over the Big Seventh
have written similar letters TO Colonel
Toler and as yet there have been no well
defined plans or aggressive movement
made in the work Various churches. Sc
cret societies and other philanthropic and
benevolent institutions are considering
the work and propose to take official ac-
ton as organizations in the contribution
of supplies toward this great answer TO
the Macedonian cry Of the destitute and
pitiably distressed in the far-away re-
public struggling for life and liberty.
The First VI. +. Sunday school in this
city is considering this plan and propose
early in the future to take Up the work
vigorously and donate literally.
The wisdom Of Colonel Toler's selection
Of the one article Of -four and confine his
labors TO that, is already being evidenced
in the ready responses wherever the
scheme has been explained Col. Toler
desires II spread 10 all the remote corners
Of the Seventh district that he will re-
ceive in this city all the contributions Of
-four that may come in and see TO IL that
it reaches the government agency safely
and IN good season. He urges upon all
who contemplate giving toward this work
TO do so as promptly as possible that none
may be lost in the hurry and confusion OF
the last moment.

When President Dole Of Hawaii left |
this country recently, after visit to !

fore congress, he carried with him the
draft Of bill which promises to make
history. II is for the passage by the
Hawaiian congress and provides, in the
event Of war, in which the United States
may need the Hawaiin islands for a base
Of supplies, that the Islands shall be put
under the protection Of the American
flag.
IL was prepared with the knowledge
Of the senate committee on foreign rela'

condition was that il should not BE- sub.

there was war. When President Dole
left this country war with Spain had
not been declared, but was deemed prob.
