A Sensation In Augusta Growing Out

A Sensation In Augusta Growing Out
of the Elections.
Augusta, Dec. u.-There is a sensation
in the Fifth ward growing out of the ar
rest of F. S. Gay who together with Ar
thus Glover and a negro named Merchant,
are charged by Councilman-elect Elliott
with larceny after trust. The two latter
have evaded arrest, and Gay has given
bond.
1t all grows out of the recent election,
in which Elliott was elected to Council
by three votes. There is talk of a contest
by Mattison, and on Saturday night the
two white men and the negro went into
Elliotts store and asked to see his talley
sheet of the election. 1t is charged that
it was passed from one to the other, and
the negro ran with it out of the door, and
Grover also disappeared. Gay was arrest
ed.
Elliott says the list was not official and
could have been had for the asking, but
he does not propose to be robbed in his
own store in this fashion, and hence the
arrest The matter has caused quite a
sensation between the evenly divided Ell
lott and Mattison followers in the ward.

Marie WaInwright's Coming Pro-
duction of "shaII We Forgive Her.
Marie Wainwright, who comes
10 the theater Wednesday matinee and
night, hit upon a strong play when she
selected Shall We Forgive Herr" 10 star
in this year, according to all accounts.
1t is an English play and received its first
presentation in this country under the
management of Jacob Lit at the Four
tenth Street Theater, New York. 1t met
with success and is now touring the country
with gratifying results. According TO the
New York papers shall We Forgive Her?''
is rather better than the average play of
its class Mr. Lit certainly thinks so or
he would not have engaged Marie Vain
wright to play the leading role. MISS
Wainwright is an actress of ability and a
woman of unusual personal attractions.
She has been identified for years with the
better class of Old English comedies ana
has starred SUCCESSFULLY in them for sew
eral seasons. She is an accomplished ana
trained actress, and a woman OF marked
intelligence, whose presence in the cast Oh

"Bibi' is given by local tatent, and m

The cast has been rehearsing for three
weeks under Mrs. Hatch. The pay has
been produced for five years in the North

as competent as any she has ever train

well satisfied that they have written glow
ing letters TO thc.r friends at home, and
now a steady stream of Scandinavian i'm
migrants is constantly flowing into that
part OF the American continent II Is
now proposed by the Dominion Steamship
Company, through its general Northwest
ern agent, that a part at least OF TINS
stream OF desirable immigrants oe d.
verted to Hawaii, the object of the steam
ship company in making the suggestion
being, of course, TO secure the carrying
of the immigrants.
Some Possible Difficulties.
Under the present contract labor law
Of the United States, these Scandinavians
cou.d not be imported direct into Hawaii
under an agreement as to their employ
ment. Having once landed on American
soil, however, they can undoubtedly be
transferred TO Hawaii at least without VI
olating the letter Of the law
Some of the sugar growers favor the
importation of Italians and Portuguese to
work on the plantations. but, of course,
such laborers would have TO be taken TO
Hawaii from the United States and not
from their own countries. There is also
a plan, according to Mr. Single 10
bring laborers from the Philippine Islands
to work on the sugar plantations The
Finpnos are said to be industrious and
faithful and sturdy and generally desira-
BILE.
Whether Filipinos can be imported into
Hawaii to work on the sugar plantations
without violation of law will depend, of
course, upon the ultimate status of the
Philippines. There has been some talk
according TO Mr.. Shng.e, of engaging ne
gro laDorers from the United States, but
this proposition has not advanced beyond
the talking stage. The Hawaiians are
evidently a little cautious about adding
new elements to the already complicated
race problems existing in the islands.
Enormous Interests Involved.
1t would be hard 20 estimate accurately
the magnitude of the interests involved
for the planters have always been ex-
tremely reticent as to the money va.ue or
their holdings.
The Eva plantation, largest on the ISL
ands, employs about 1000 hands; the yield
last year was 1900 tons of sugar. 1t
will be 25,000 tons this year. The Spreck-
lesville plantation, on the Island of Maui,
owned originally by Claus Spreck.es later
by his sons and recently sold to new pro-
prietors, employs about the same number
of hands. but yields less The Island of
Hawaii, largest of the group, has hither-
to raised most of the sugar, but Molokai
will perhaps lead in future. It was chiefly
owned by the estate of Berenice Paual
Bishop till recently. but is now in possess
sion of a syndicate of Boston capitalists
represented by Arthur M. Daggett. This
syndicate will put nearly all the island
into sugar, and 1t will then be by far the
greatest sugar plantation in the world.

purpose of working the Eva plantation
on the cooperative, or percentage, plan.
Under this plan the corporation will al
low each man a certain number of acres
for cultivation. All cane raised under this
arrangement win be ground at the Eva
plantation mill, the farmer receiving a
percentage of the proceeds In payment
for his cane. The plan has been very
carefully wrought out, and II is estimat-

SPANISH RARaARisM.
For Hundreds of Years She Has Been
Blot on the Face of the Earth.

For Hundreds of Years She HIS Been
a Blot on the Face Of the Earth.
The treatment which Spain has ac-
corded her colonies has always been
brutal, Spanish. hearts and Spanish
methods changed but little from Cortez
to Weyler, the only difference, instead
of increase and success as ut the begin
ming, failure and decrease of empire is
at the end.
Spain has always felt her inferiority
in this respect to other nations, and IN
order to apparently maintain her posi-
ton she has bid defiance to every other
nation on the face of the earth.
Spain has for a hundred years repeat
cdly thrown down the gauntlet of def
ance at our feet.
She has disregarded all treaty obliga-
tions. Who can recall the massacre Of
the crew Of the Virginius without q
thrill Of horror passing through his
frame? The Spanish depredations on
Our commerce up to 1914 were so exten-
sive that she was obliged to cede Flor
ida to the United States on their agree
ing to settle with our citizens, accept
Ing Florida In payment of the lump
sum.
The United States has not alone suf-
fered from Spain's depredations. AS
long ago as 1870 the episode which Is
known as the war of jenkins ear arose
from the barbarous treatment of Capt.
Jenkins, an English officer, and the
crew of the English ship Rebeccn,
which was captured by q Spanish
cruiser and searched. The Spaniards.
after hanging Captain Jenkins at the
yard-arm, with cabin boy tied to his
feet, unstrung him Just in time to pre-
vent death, and cutting Off his ear pre-
sented 1t to him and bade him take it
to his king. Captain Jenkins did as he
was bid. The wave Oh Indignation
raised by this act of cruelty caused
Horace Walpole, who was prime minis
ter, to declare war against Spain. Spain
bitterly regretted the act Of her naval
commander.
In 1762 Spain, by her repeated op-
pressions, forced England to again de-
clare war against her. Lord Albemarle.
with fleet of 200 vessels and about
$4,000 men, appeared before Havana.
and although defended by almost twice
that number of Spaniards fell in less
than two months tima, and with 1t
Cuba Into English hands. 1t remained
there until by the treaty of Paris. In
1763, It was restored in exchange for
possessions which England at that
time considered more valuable,
Spain was the last Of the great pow
ers to recognizes the sovereignty Of the
United States.
At the end of the nineteenth century
nothing remains of her vast possessions
but the Philippine Islands in the
Pacific Ocean and Cuba and Porto Rico
in the. Western seas. Mexico threw off
the yoke In 1911. Then Central and
South America in 1916. and the Argen-
tine Republic was formed from the

Hard times test the quality and con.
dition of people better than pros
perity, for they are pretty apt to bring
things closer to each basis. The de-
preston preceding the incoming Of
the present administration illustrated
this, and the fact that the South passed
through the trying ordeal with an as
tonishing ability to pay its debts and
to keep up its increasing business
operations opened the eyes of the whole
country.
1t was proof positive that the South
had recovered from the disasters of the
land-boom era-which was almost
second civil war in its cost-and had
entered upon real and solid growth.
There has never been any question
about It's unlimited resources; the only
trouble in the past was that they were
speculated upon instead of being legiti-
mately developed. Building cities on
paper and floating prosperity on bonds
left long memory of lost money and
shattered confidence. But out of these
bitter experiences good has come and
there Is another new South.
EOI AL GulS large CT6ult Is uuo Go Iue
new generations of Southerners, who
believe more in running factories than
in running for Office, and who prefer
good money to notes and mortgages.
They are the most numerous factors of
the better order Of things. But at the
same time the fact is general from
Mason and Dixon's line to the Gulf
and the Rio Grande that the Yankee
is welcomed and is at work in the
South. He is building cotton factories,
putting up lumber mills, utilizing wa
ter-power, erecting schoolhouses, acad-
emies and public libraries, taking the
lead in many industries, and making
very handsome profits on ell he does.
And the best sign Of all is that the pro-
gressipe Southerners and the enter
prising Yankees are generally working
together, and there are intermarriages
and all the social blendings, which
mean much.
Possibly our typical American is
coming this way.-Leslie's Weekly.
