Potatoes in Hawaii.

How great are the possibilities OF
Hawaii as a fruit and vegetable
growing country Will be understood
when it becomes known that four
crops of potatoes have. been pro-
duced in succession on the same
piece of land within IL months. Rad
ishes become edible in ten days after
sowing. Strawberry vines bear fruit
all the year. The berries are of the
finest flavor. Cabbage grows all the
year, and it apparently makes no
difference whether it is planted in
the spring, summer, autumn or win
ter. Parsley once sown grows for
ever, apparently. Lima beans con-
tinue to grow and bear for over a
year, and they have to be gathered
every week after starting to bear.
Cucumbers bear the entire year, and
so do tomatoes, which, with proper
attention, bear for years. Raspber-
ries bear for six months. Pineapples
come into bearing wnen the plants
are four months old and bear in
abundance for years. Lettuce can be
planted at any time, and it develops
quickly. The same is true of celery.

ACROSS IN A BALLOON.
Views of n Noted AerOnaut Regard
ing the Aerial Passage of
the Atlantic,

In Century is discussion OF ways
and means for crossing the ocean.
The author believes that the drag
rope is the key TO the problem. He
argues thus: If balloon capable of
retaining it's buoyant gas in a marked
degree were to ascend from any point
on the American coast line, and be kept
poised at given height by means of a
rope trailing loosely over the waves,
it would be more or less speedily watt
ed across the Atlantic ocean.
West winds could not, of course, be
expected always to prevail, but, as it
is known that the general drift is east
ward, it surely follows that the pas
sage would eventually be made. Prac-
tice with the drag rope has shown me
the possibility of keeping balloon
afoat, at a convenient altitude, with
out great loss of gas and ballast. Prai-
ries, forests, mountains and large
bodies of water have all been traversed
by me with success. The free running
of the rope as it glides over the surface
of the water is the special advantage
that accrues to a voyage over the
ocean.
Andree thought to utilize this device
over the frozen sea, but with what sue
cess may never be known. His attempt
at polar exploration by balloon was,
undoubtedly, premature and should
have been preceded by efforts more
closely allied to previous experience.
Nevertheless, his was bold recognition
of principle which only needs greater
development to prove it's correctness.
The full import of the first success
| full ocean voyage cannot be fOretold
We can compare it only with the first
or the first voyage of Columbus. That
it lies next in order to those cannot be
doubted, and there is only one known
way to success, namely, by the aid Of
the drag rope.
| Such an undertaking should have a
clearly defined motive, namely, moth
ing less than that complete demon.
stratiop of the latent possibilities Of
navigation by balloons instead of the
impossible flying machine for which
the world has been waiting so long
Some years ago it was proposed te
make a transatlantic voyage by
ascending to the height of 3k mile:
and remaining there long enough to &C
complish the passage. It was believed
that an upper current is constantly
blowing toward the east. Three day:
only were thought to be necessary t.
perform this feat, as the easterly cur
rent was supposed to be running a
the rate of from so to 60 miles an hour
However. it was found to be impossible,
to keep the balloon afloat at such =:
height by any known means for ever
one-tenth of the necessary time, ant
all hopes of a successful voyage wer
at length abandoned. The invention
and use of the drag rope has intro
duced a new era for the balloon. Thi
simple appendage makes the Ion;

HAS NO PERSONAL ELEMENT.

Senator McLaurin reveals his true size
licanism and having the decency to re-
sign the position which he uses to mis-
represent the party that elected him, he
tries to dwarf the whole matter into
a personal contest between him and SEN
ator Tillman. The people of South Caro-
lima, who look at McLaurin's advocacy of
his distribution of Federal patronage as a
distinct betrayal of Democracy. will not
let the case be one of McLaurin VS.. Till
man. 1t is one of principle and party policy
and cannot be regarded in any sense as
a personal contest over political questions.

man.
General Wade Hampton stated the
whole controversy when he tersely de-
clared that McLaurin had gone back on
the principles enunciated in every Demo
cratic platform adopted by every Demo-
cratic convention for one hundred years.
The men who fight McLaurin in South
Carolina and who oppose McLaurinism
elsewhere do so not because his per-
sonality or the Individuality of any man
is involved. but because the principles
first enunciated by Jefferson and reaf-
frmed in every Democratic platform since
are involved If Protection, Subsidies,
and McKinleyism are right, then the
Democratic party has no excuse for living
another day, and it's members ought to
follow Mr. McLaurin in advocating those
principles. Unlike him, they ought to have
the honesty to openly join the Repub-
lican party and not try in political way
to steal the livery of heaven in which

snip OF a public road The matter began
some TWO years ago, when the county de
claed 10 macadamize the western road TO
the orange county line The road most
OF the way was on the right-o way of
the southern Railway and there was some
correspondence between the railway and
county officials. The result was the coun-
W condemned right way some dis
lance from the railroad. 1t has developed
now that Chairman Redmond. of the
BOARD OF county commissioners. agreed to
abandon the old roadbed provided he
southern road would build bridge about
four miles from town so that the new
road could pass under the railroad This
was done. The county commissioners now
in session have passed a resolution say
ing that the act of Mr.. Redmond was
the act OF an individual and that the
county is not bound by it, and further
that the county will not abandon the old
roadhed. The piece of road bed in dis
pute is about four miles long and if
abandoned by the county would leave
many homes off the public highway with
a bad outlet. This caused the action of
the commissioners this week. Just what
turn the matter will take is not known
but sooner or later it will no doubt go
into the courts for a long litigation. Tie
county authorities say that the old road
was in existence before the railroad was
built and that it has the right-of-way.
The railroad people say that it will not
be very long before they will need the
rcadbed for sidetracks Whenever there
is a move to use the road and block it to
public travel then there will be trouble
and lot of it.
