Charles Harding, Of Boston, who
was for some time connected with
the MAXWELL plantation, on the is.
land Of Kauoi, Sandwich islands, re-
ports the Washington Times, says:
There are . great many errors CON-
mon among people in relation to the
Sandwich islands. In the first place
people are in the habit Of referring
to the whole group under the name
of Hawaii, which is, of course, wrong.
Hawaii is the largest island, il is
true, but not the most important.
Its principal town, Hilo, is a small
one, while the largest city of the
islands, Honolulu, is on Oahu. quite
a small island. On each of the is
lands is a PERCEPTIONS mountain, at
the base of which is a level plain Of
alluvial soil. 1t is on the plains that
the crops are raised, though cult.
walton is carried sometimes quite far
up the mountain slopes. As a rule a
fine road run along the edge of the
beach, making a complete circle Of
the island, and by this means COM
munication between villages is quite
easy.
"On the windward side of the noun
tain, during the entire year, there is
a great deal of rain and because of
the excessive amount of moisture it
is difficult to be sure of crops. On
the leeward side it is continually dry
and crops could not be raised were
It not for irrigation. There are
plenty of rivers. and the planters
preserve the water in reservoirs for
use when needed. The leeward side
plantations are considered the best,
for crops are always sure, and are
in no danger Of being spoiled by the
rain.
Communication between the is
lands is by no means easy, though
during the time when the sugar crop
is moving there are plenty of boats
going back and forth. There are no
regular steamers and no regular

THE ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ALABAMA
A Lost Bill.

Lost, strayed or stolen--the Gun nells bill. Information as to its where abouts is needed by the people, and will be satisfactorily rewarded.
 This is bill to bring Alabama into the line of States, forty-four in num- Der, that have free schools. Alabama has subsidized pay schools. The poor man who can not buy school books, or shoes, scarcely bread, for his nu- merous children, is compelled to pay two dollars as poll tax to this sub- sidy fund-a great and generous fund and yet he cannot, on account of poverty, share in it's benefits.
 The Senate has the Gunnells bill. Will it unload it? Will it not at least let the State know how it stands on the question? Let us at least have a roll call

St. Louis and San Francisco.

Birmingham has become a terminal, temporarily at least, of the St. Louis and San Francisco Railroad. This company owns and operates 1907 miles, with Galveston, San Antonio, Sherman, Oklahoma, Ellsworth and Kansas City as Western terminals. St. Louis was it's sole eastern term inal, an honor now shared with Bir- mingham The company is building 110 miles of new line in Texas and the Indian Territory. It is essentially a southwest railroad system.
 The acquisition of the Fort Scott and Birmingham lines evidently looks to an extension to the Atlantic coast. The company has two lines to the Gulf and line to the Atlantic coast would make the system reasonably complete, pending of course its exten- sion to San Francisco, which is some what nebulous and distant as yet.
 As the Southern seems to have no Mississippi plans or ambition, it is reasonable to assume that this new development gives this district another line and system that will not be absorbed Still another will be had in the Illinois Central which is building this way, having already en- tered the State and tapped the coal deposits.
 These systems will do until the Warrior is opened, when combina- tions will cease to terrify, and the producer will rest content. We can not, however, get a six-foot, year round channel in the Warrior too soon, and all the Southern country is interested in the opening of this dis trict to the sea.

How'll That Feet Jess?

Speaking of the familiar Jess, as ap- piled to the dignified but ever-smiing Judge Carmichael, whose sunshine face is never clouded, recalls story of a State convention of the Democratic party which met in Montgomery many years ago, the only State convention which ever attended as a delegate My crowd were trying to nominate certain man for the Governorship, and there was one certain delegate from Judge Carmichaers country who though he belonged to us by right, gave us considerable trouble. Every time he made proposition to him as to how he'd vote, he'd say:
 "'Yes, but how'll that feet Jess? meaning Judge Carmichael who wasn't a candidate for anything.
 "'You must undertake to vote for Blank for attorney general we would urge.
 "'Yes, but how'll that feet Jess?
 Come, now. we know you are for our man, and we want you to vote for Dash delegate.
 "'Yes, but how'll that feet Jess7'
 You must help us by voting for Fig gers for auditor.
 Yes, but how'll that feet Jess?'
 And so the faithful Carmichael man went on, and in the end we lost his vote He suspected in some vague way that we were agin Jess, who didn't want any thing.'

In the Senate at Last.


 The book trust has slipped a cog, and the uniformity bill is before the Senate, and the people of Alabama expect the Senate to do it's duty. They expect the Senate to say that ten cents is an exorbitant price for copy books when barefoot boys and girls have to pay it or go unlearned. It is an exorbitant price in Bridgeport, for example, when in South Pittsburg, not ten miles away. they are sold at three cents at retail to all school chil- dren. Why should the book trust, driven out of Tennessee, Texas, and South Carolina, be permitted to ex- ploit Alabama to that extent? A req sonable degree of robbery might be endured, but when more than three prices are demanded from the bare foot boys and girls of the State for bearance ceases to be a virtue.
 Nor are copy books at all excep- tional. All needful school books could be furnished at greatly reduced rates, varying from 30 to 50 per cent. It is not at all necessary that each teacher in the State should have his pet text book. It Is not at all necessary that +bo oo,n+y c,,DoriDtapdaorc cbould handle the book business. It is not at all necessary to listen to the twad- dle and rot and spacious devices of the book trust and it's agents in or out of the capitol. All that is wise to do is to ask yourself, O, Legislator, do you like to pay high prices for neces- sities or low prices? Do you think the general good would be subserved by letting the book trust have Ala bama any longer as a field to be ex- plotted, robbed and shamelessly abused? This is what you should consider, and that is what you will have to answer at home. The hum bug cry, paternalism, does not satisfy the man who has to pay two or three prices for an article He wants a great deal of that kind of paternalism. He wants it in allopathic doses, and the Senate has an opportunity to give him what he wants by passing the uniform text book bill.

Cuba and the United States.

Democrats as well as Republicans have agreed upon the terms that the embryo Republic of Cuba must accept before Cuba will be handed over by Gen. Leonard Wood to the Cubans. The terms, in substance, are these:
 1. Treaties with foreign powers shall be approved by the United States, especially if they tend to i'm pair the independence of Cuba. Prac- tically speaking. this means all treat les between Cuba and European pow CTS.
 2. Debts shall not be assumed or contracted beyond the ability of the Cuban revenues to meet after deduct ing the expenses of government. This cuts off the big Spanish debt, and per haps the Cuban independence debt. The latter, however, may be sealed and assumed.
 8. The United States may intervene at any time on the score of Cuban in dependence, and the protection of life and property. This permits interven- tion at the discretion of the United States.
 1. All acts of the military govern ment are to be validated.
 5. Sanitation is to be enforced. This is q specially desirable condition to the people of Alabama and other Gulf States. This looks to sewers and san 'tstion in Havana, which will make
 How fever but a memory.
 i The Isle of Pines Is to belong to he United States.
 !. Coaling and naval stations, to be named by the President of the United States, are to be ceded.
 8. All these provisions are to be embraced in a permanent treaty made between Cuba and the United States.
 Cuba cannot afford kick against
