My Friends The Farmers.

Day after day, day after day,
And poets sit of at a distance and write
OF the life Of the farm, and they think
they are right
OF the songs Of the birds, of the way
ing Of grain,
OF the lowing Of herds and the showers
Of rain
Thepoets know naught Of the ehineh bugs
OF blight,
Nor the labor destroyed by the showers
at night
You work in the heat, in the dust, and
the dew.

know
But over the ocean, and not far away,
Thousands of mortals are starving today.
Is this "Overproduction" lie that is
told
BY those who would handle more silver

While you with hard labor are wearing

Planting or harvesting day after day.
God in his wisdom has put in your care
The people to feed, for the world every

Your good, but content with limited

'Tis only this fault with you farmers I
find,
That sometimes you fail in the culture Of

With thoughts OIL potatoes or cattle or

You see not the freedom to which you
were born.
The freedom of thought, your own prob

Read your books and your papers, your

dredger and the gear that operates

The two men operating the machine
had very narrow escapes from being
crushed to death and only their pres

them.
After the accident an investigation
showed that the trouble was caused
by the breaking OF n "U'' bolt at the
top of the frame supporting the dipper

Wharf Mystery.

There is mystery at the Inter.
Island wharf. IL has been hanging
around there for the better part of \
week now and the men on the wharf
and in the Office are at their wits ends
10 tathom il. There have been many
solutions advanced but on investiga.
fion have all been found to be faulty
or wrong. A stranger has taken his
place among the workers. He was not
invited 10 come. He did not ask per
mission He made his appearance on
the wharf on Tuesday morning last
and stayed all day. He did not speak
TO any one nor was he spoken to.
When work was through for the day
he left Wednesday morning when
the men went to work they found the
stranger on deck. He stayed again
al day. The second day he was with
them the men began TO be curious SIS
TO why he was there. Several times II
was decided to ask him what he was
looking for or what he wanted. but
the question was never put TO him.
He has been regularly at his post
and was on hand until late yesterday
afternoon. he smokes good deal
reads a little. and watches for some.
body or something all the time. but
who or whaa is the mystery is whas
is worrying those on the wharf.

KaiuIani Puts Back.
SAN FRANCISCO, December 1st-
The new American steel bark Kaiu-
iani had to return TO port yesterday,
being topheayy. She came here from
New York and loaded for Honolulu.
her cargo came last and lot OF bricks
and railroad iron hao 10 be put on
deck.
When the Kaiulani got under way
All seemed well, and the dozen or more
passengers anticipated a fast run
Outside there was good, steady
breeze blowing and sail was made On
the bark quickly. When the upper
topsails were set Captain Dabel began
to have fears, and when the royals
were spread TO the breeze he at once
ordered them taken in again. Then
the bark was reduced to lower top
sails and a course steered for San
Francisco. The Kaiulani was undoubt-
edly top-heavy and Captain Dabel did
his duty to all hands by coming back.
About l p. m. tug came along and
towed the bark back to port Her
deckload of bricks and iron will be dis
charged and she will go to sea again
probably today.

University Park Temple Re.opened for the
Season.
HASKIN S.

The opening services Of University
Park Temple On last Sunday were very
interesting throughout the day. In the
morning the church was filled to over
flowing to welcome the pastor, Rev.
Sterling N. Brown, backed to his pull
pit from his Summer vacation. Rev.
Brown preached most Instructive ser.
mon and made talk on church work
in general which was highly apprecf
ated by the members and friends of
Park Temple. The well known and
now famous choir with it's quota of
splendid singers was out In full force
and under the direction of Mr.. Walter
b. Hsysen, its efficient leader. In the
evening the services were made es.
pecially interesting by an address de-
livered by Prof R bert II. Terrell,
principal OF the High School and one
OF the organizers of the church. Mr..
Terrell's subject was GA United 'FRONT.'
and In 1t he gave especial emphasis to
the Necessity or union in all church
effort He spoke of the great and use
full work that University Park Temple
had been doing during its existence for
the young people Of the locality in
which it is situated. He told Of the
splendid efforts Of the pastor and con.
gregation of Park Temple in making
the enc of the most prominent in this
city. Me-, Terrell's address was highly
interesting and greatly appreciated
University Park Temple has nearly 200
members, a wonderful growth in so
short time. On next Thursday night
the congregation will give reception
at the church mplimentary to Rev.
sterling Brown, the pastor The public
is invited.

A North Carolinian Wants a Square
DeaI-A Literary Revival Notes.

1soiCiSAg ~ ", OpCCiols-1 u0 DdptlSt
Sentinel in its issue of August 3Oth,
publishes an interesting article signed
"P." which Is headed "The White Re
ligious Press of the State" The obser.
vations which Up" makes are all very
good In their way, and is indeed fat.
tering commentary upon the awaken
ing sense of justice Of some few white
men, but the underlying suggestion is
to my mind very dangerous one The
idea which obtains all through it Is, that
the two factions OF white men settle be :
tween themselves the disposition which
shall be made of the Negro, and depends
upon the ''good" white element to
bring about sort of millennium. Now
would not like to shake the childIike
confidence which "P." evinces as to the
ability Of the "good whites" to bring
this state of affair about, but it lie evil
dent that 'sP." has not reckoned upon
the fact that their solicitations for the
Negro-the white man Is q white man
the world over. He is the same in
New York az in New Orleans; the same
In Akron, Ohio, as in Wilmington, NC.
Another peculiar source of comfort
which "P." derives from the present
situation Is that SIN time the whites
will suffer as much as the Negro"
Now what we want to do is, not to con-
sole ourselves with the thought that
through US some one Is to be made to
suffer, but rather bend our individual
efforts toward bringing about condi
sion under which no one or class will
suffer. ''P." states further that the
race issue is dead one. Well, dom
think 80. just as long as the Negro is
imposed upon-just so long will the
race be an issue-for say and do what
you will there are some MEN In the Ne
gro race, who will not brook the intol'
Grant treatment of the whites and will
resent 1t whenever or wherever shown.
No, the Negro must not submit his
case to the white religious press or the
white any other kind of press-he has
press of his own and he must have s
hand in the settlement of his own case
In equity.
A number of young ladies and gen
tlemen banded themselves together re
