ITALIAN PEOPLE
SETTLED ON OAHU.
Small Party Quietly Brought.
Others to- Come.

Minister Damon has very quietly in
augurated a pioneer experiment in
Italian labor for Hawaii. He made in
quiries while in London representing
Hawaii at the Queens jubilee. 1t was
learned that desirable people, from dis
tricts distant out OF the population
cepters. could be had. Cook & Son
we're interviewed on the subject of
D~-4o- +ha am
sui at Rome for the Island Republic
readily took an interest in the pro-
Ject. There has been much correspond
ence and considerable expense. AS a
result Mr.. Damon has had at his Mo-
analua place for nearly five months a
family OF five Italians from dairy
section near the Alps. These are. OF
course, selected people and have given
entire satisfaction from the first Early
in their life here ii was interesting to-
see them work with the Island milCh
COWS, so differently trained from the
pets in the old country. Mr.. Benton
has made. for the Government an eN-
tensive research with "A view TO OPEN
ing up labor supply for this country
in Italy. He gives the assurance that
people can be secured who cannot fail
to meet all the requirements. They
are bound to be satisfied here. for the
very simple reason that their lot in
Italy is miserable. Their pay there is
next to nothing and their food is OF the
roughest and not in quantity. The peo-
pie who were brought here by Mr.. Da-
mon have been writing letters and
have sent for some of their relatives.
One of the letters was translated from
an Italian paper for the New York
Times and it gives a glowing account
OF the country here. These people
bring Letters of recommendation from
the mayor of their village.
1t is understood that quite a COM
pany OF Italians to be located on Oahu
and Maui are on the way or are about
to embark. They come via Canada
The people at Moanalua say they were
advised to try Hawaii by an old man
of the district who had read two
things of the Islands-that there was
a new and Republican form OF govern
ment and that the climate was kindly
and the soil rich.
Minister Damon was very careful to
satisfy himself that the Italians likely
to come TO Hawaii were a people free
from the faults found in the low class
of Italian laborers that have been
troublesome in some of the mining re-
glons OF the States.

The annual meeting OF the Free Kin

at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. Mrs.
c. NJ. Hyde presided and Miss Eldredge
officiated as secretary. About 200 Kin

Reports were read and several made
remarks on the work in their respec-

AT the close OF our last years re-
port the pledge list footed about S3.-
700. Our estimated expenses for the
year 1898. were about $500. This
showing called for the raising OF ST.
500 from some quarter. Our effort in
this direction has been to- secure de-
finite pledges. and we have much cause
for gratitude in the cordial response
to this that We have met from many
OF our contributors as We also have
for all the help that has been given to
us in many ways during the past year.
IL is principally by the cordial CO.
operation of our subscribers that the
pledge list has been increased from
5000 where it stands today, and we
take this opportunity to extend to- all
who have done so much for the work
our most heartfelt thanks.
The treasurer's report shows
the expense for the past
year to- have been-say. s., ,632. 90
Our estimate at the beginning
OF the year for this was. 5,5OO.OO
Actual expenditure being about
$1,000 over the estimate. Such n re-
suit in a growing work is more often
experienced than otherwise and shows
the need of providing more rather than
less than an estimate calls for.

Breezy Notes From Pisgah.

Chill and fever is raging just below here.
1t has been years since so much of it has de-
veloped. Probably the wet summer is the
cause of it.
Mr.. B. ". Morris, of Co. NJ. is quite sick
with fever, but under the care of Dr.. Osteen,
he is rapidly improving.
A large quantity of cotton is still in the
fields in the different sections. Tie planters
won't pay over 80 cents per hundred and the
pickere won't pick for that No use 10 reason
with them about the low price of cotton. 1t
would be 8 wasted argument.
Some wheat has been planted and the indi-
cations are that large acreage will be sown.
Pea vine hay has developed into large in
dustry. Immense quantities have been saved,
and it all will be needed.
The public schools have started Prof.
Gibbes at Pisgah, Miss Emmas Colclough at
billiard and Miss Adele Mcleod, at Rembert.
Mr. S. N. Mcleod has gone ever the river
to teach a. larger school than the one be
taught last year. Murrsy's mapJ friends
wish him much success in his chosen profess
sion No doubt but what he will attain a
high standard
The election is here and 30 excitement
Very few speak of going to vote, this is
wrong. Every man should 60 TO the polls

conflicting sections of the party constitution,
the rules, and the primary law, 80 We won't

State committee only has the right to tabu-
late the State and congressional votes and
settle any contest arising Hereunder, aud the
county committee to tabulate and settle it's

and was prsctced few years ago.
