A FAL LsEHoop.

A rumor was going the rounds yesterday evening to the effect that a young white lad had been killed by the cars at the railroad crossing, but after thorough investigation a GRAPHIC reporter could discover no truth in the repory. A liar, as the following article goes to show, is more dangerous in community than thief. The following is clip ped from the Jonesboro Enterprise, and should be carefully read and re vised by some of the "know-noth- ings" who make it teir business to circulate false reports:
 "A liar is more dangerous in 3 community than Q thief, and this is also true of the deadbeat; the man who will not pay an honest debt. Because the thief can be put in prison and punished, but there is no provision for the liar and the dead-beat He is tolerated in the community, to besmirch the character of people superior tt him, and, being toe lazy to work, he buys on a credit and then abuse; the man who favored him. A lial and al dead beat are the meanesr class of people on earth and there ought 10 be law that would handle them.

fertile little tracts and the Kanakas have
here and there cultivated patches near
the mountains, where the lava seems to
have coolc: but yesterday.
We took what is called tho now route
to visit Kcalakcakua bay, where Captain
Cook was killed, and of that tragedy |
received very curious account from
Mr.. Broughton, an aged Briton, who
reached the islands as II sailor in 1910.
He had it direct from two aged Kanakas
who witnessed the killing 1t seems that
after Captain Cook had carried matters
with high hand for awhile two par
ties formed. One said he was Lono, tho
god; the other that he was Kanalia, or
''man," such being the meaning of that
word. The argument as reported bore
suspicious resemblance to that in the
correspondence between President Ed
wards and DR.. Samuel Hopkins. One
said, HE cannot be n god, for he is cruel,
vindictive and greedy" The other said,
"You cannot tell how a god will act,
and perhaps
1t was the familiar issue, Are right
| and wrong absolute, ana is the soral
law obligatory on Deity us on mortals?
Well, the Edwards party, SO to speak,
carried the day, and it was decided that
the supposed Lono should be put to
the test A blow-not mortal-was
struck; the captain groancd and blood
flowed. "Kanaka, no." "a man, indeedD
cried the skeptics. "Oa! Ga" True,
TrucD screamed the others "kanaka,
mol" and he was at once dispatched.
and" added Mr. Broughton, when
the old men told us this the tears stood
in their eyes, for they were among the
few who continued to believe that Cook
was II god, or at least superior being"
With the horseback ride thence to
Kilauea and tho descent into the crater
all general readers are familiar. Every
body knows how Pele, the devil goddess Of
the Kanakas, used to hold her fiery court
in the flaming lake; how the filaments
of lava, like glassblowers' Thread"
thrown off by the fiery waves, were be-
lieved to be her hair; how the natives,
when warned by well known signs that
an eruption was near, threw many fat
hogs and other articles of value into the
lake, and finally how the brave Princess
Kauikulani, to convince her people that
idolatry was foolish. descended into tho
crater without the usual ceremonies and
returned unhurt to her amazed people
