NEGROESLEAV|NGNAlUKU
VERY FEW OF THE LABORERS
LEFT.
A Number Have Found Refuge in Jail
Some Have Left the Country-Others
Have Gone Elsewhere.

WAILUKU, June 19.-Of all the ne
groes that came to Waikiki to work for
the Sugar Company there are only a
few left. Most of them have either left
or have been landed in Jail for some
offense or other. A few of them are
still working on the plantation but
as one of them said, they might leave
almost any time. Negro labor on Maui
has been very unsatisfactory. Some,
in the forcefulness of their feeling on
the subject have said "they are only a
lot of crap shooters from Tennessee
who wouldn't stay on the plantations
because good beef and canned fruit
wasn't good enough for them"
When the negroes first came they
tried to add an honest penny to their
income by singing their plantation me-
lOdies but they found that this did not
work, they quit singing and tried other
schemes. The first occurrence mani
Testing their character was the shoot
ing scrape i'm which Win Hudson,
"Sweetie" Smith, Elmira Hill and Ella
Crawford We're involved. Now Hudson
is in jail for two years, SWeetie had a
cutting ARRAY with Mrs Smith in Ho-
nOlulu, and Albert Hill who was also
involved in WIN Hudson's shooting
scrape is in Ne WORK, having shipped
in Honolulu as a sailor.
Brother Cooper, the Salvatlonist, is
still here. Cooper was also mixed up
in an assault and battery case, when
the gentleman from the South were
singing, The other negroes claimed
that Cooper had pOCketed the money
that he collected for them one night
while they We're out singing. Cooper
ran off but he was pursued by his col
ored friends and the next morning
found one of the negroes in Jail. The
Negro Quartette however settled the
case amicably out Of court and the case
was dropped. Since then, Cooper has
turned a new leaf ana he now speaks

ted in their camps. This tenn of the
Circuit Court found several negroes
awaiting trial on different changes.
The burglary case at Camp V, wherein
Fred Wood was sentenced to life inn
prisonment for burglary, the highway
robbery case in which William Stally
cut japanese up severely and other
petty cases, have all been committed
in SpreckelsVille. Leaving all these
faults out of consideration, it is report
ed that the negroes only do about half
as much work as a Porto Rican, and
this seems to be corroborated by the
statement of a luna in Waikiki Plan
tation who has had charge OF the ne
groes. So far the Porto Ricans have
proven themselves vecy satisfactory
and although they are filthy when they
first come into the country, yet they
are gradually learning the customs of
more civilized people.

biggest MILL ON EARTH
PLACING THE KEY COLUMN OF
SPRECK MILL.
An interesting Address on ,Ae Occasion
BY Senator II. =. Baldwin-The
Growth of the Sugar Industry.

SPRECKELSVILLE, June 19.-The
key column of the new Spreckelsville
Mill which will be the largest in the
world, was put in place last Friday,
Territorial Day, with appropriate cere-
monies. A large number of people
gathered by invitation of the manage
ment to take part in them. Beneath
the huge column was placed a metal
box containing a number of coins, the
charter of the Hawaiian Commercial
and Sugar Company and the following
statement on waterproof paper. The
ceremony of putting this receptacle
and the column in place was performed
by Miss Clara Lowrie.
The structure was laid out in Nov
ember, 1899 the first stroke being driven
in the presence of Hon. H. p. Baldwin,
President of the H. c. & S. Co. w. j.

naillen Plantation Surveyor and j. n.
S. Williams representative of the Ho-
nolulu Iron Works Company. Consult
ing Engineer of the II. c. & S. Co. Dur
ing July 1900, a packet of papers was
placed underneath the chimney base on
the S. w. side of the building. Active
work on this structure commenced Oc-
tober ~, 1900. Recent historical events,

dent of the United States, in Novem-

emplied in the founding of the United

Preyer and reminiscent address were
made by Rev. f. G. BecIwith II. =.
Baldwin then announced that the new
mill had been christeped the "Punene
Mill and that hereafter the plantation
would be known as "Punene Planta-
ton" He then gave a short sketch of
the sugar industry on Maui during his
early boyhoOd, stating that many years
sin"" Mr.. Beckwith. a brother of Rev.
E. G. Beckwith, was sent by a syndi-
cate of Honolulu people to look up
Haiku as a sugar plantation. Mr..
Beckwith carried back to Honolulu a
glowing report of the possibilities of
Haiku, but with some hesitation, stated
to the directors that his estimate for a
mill of the proper size might be deemed
by them as rather large, and when ask
ed what capacity of mill would be re-
quired, he replied that nothing less
than a mill of at least three and half
tons day would answer, at which the
hair of the directors rose in horror.
In less than one mans life" continued
the speaker, 1--WE see here today mill
which when finished will be the largest

And with that he sprung up the tree
with the agility Of a squirrel or a circus
rider, and at some peril of broken limbs
rescued the kitten and placed her in the
outstretched arms of her young mis-
tress.
Then it was the most natural thing in

the next day when they by chance met
in the same woods, to stop and speak Of
the lost one. Thus, in spite of the fam
lily feud, the intimacy ripened between
the young branches.
1t was useless for Mabeps parents to
protest; indeed, nothing short of a com
mand would have stopped this new and
delightful friendship, and Charlie bold
ly announced to his paternal that he
was tired of keeping up such an anti
quated fuss; let the grandfathers fight
out their own battles in whatever
world they were now residing, but he,
for his part would no longer encourage
hatred, malice and all uncharitable-

When Love went by scarcely bent

From out the easement long leant.
All, would had been watching so

proper spirit of righteous resentment
and unappeased wrath in their on
spring.
But when childhood was over, Mabel
Campbell was estranged by circum-
stance from Charlie Price as complete
~ as If an ocean had been between
them instead of paling fence. When
she was Is she came back from board
ing school and was pronounced old
enough for picnics and sOeials, and
was, indeed, the acknowledged belle Of
the Young Peoples Pleasure Club, and
the favorite even Of matrons and spin
sters at sewing bees and Dorcas socie-
ties, and a perfect idol at home. She
was an only child, and the love that
seemed to overflow from father and
mother was expended upon innumer-
able pets. She had two fat YORKSHIRE
puppies, pug dog, parrot, and a cat
who recently had added to the process
sion a yellow kitten, Of the story. This
small animal was up to mischief Of all
kinds, and had the most exploring turn

lost and being returned to her mistress
| by little boys Of the village, who thus
turned many an honest penny.
One afternoon Mabel had been out in
the woods with her young friends hunt
ing for chesmuts, and on her return
was GREETED with the sad tidings that
the yellow kitten had again strayed
from home. A search throughout the
place was at once begun. Evening
came on, however, and no yellow kitten
nut in an appearance. Mabel became
/ much distressed, as she was sure that
an evil fate had at last overtaken her
pet. She begged to be allowed to send
over to the Prices, and see If the wan
derer. scorning old opinions, had found
her way there, but her parents would
not consider such proposition, so fol
that night the household was minus the
kitten.
The next day was spent in looking fol
the loved though lost. and many of the
village boys joined in the hunt, bu
with no result.
Toward sunset Mabel decided TO wall
