r.ther the strange credenCe the Gov
eminent gives this individual. He
las offered repeatedly to withdraw
his opposition If he is given an inter-
est in the proposition by Parker. He
is stated to have made the following
boasts to Mr.. Parker, You have the
water and have the pull" And how
about the people of Kohala? A whole
district is being held up because of the
protest OF Mr.. Gehr who don't own
much more than the clothes he stands
In, and who has not a bit of interest
in the whole concern either from the
standpoint of the Ditch Company or
the standpoint OF the consumers, to
wit, the residents of Kohala. How
ever, Mr.. Carter is known TO be an ag-
gressive pushing young man and it is
TO be hoped he will speedily make up
his mind to the merits of this propo-
sition, and once he has, probably this
needless delay will cease and this prop
osition which means so much to the
people of Kohala District will be start
ed without delay or nonsense and put
through on time.
A careful perusal of the conditions
already imposed by the Government
in the sale of the license that was to
have taken place the other day shows
how hard and exacting and begrudging
the attitude of the Government has
been in the whole matter and it is
doubtful whether Parker would have
bought or accepted the license with tho
conditions then named, and still more
doubtful whether money could have
been raised abroad on many of those
discouragirg terms and conditions.

II is suggested that the steps taken
for congressional sanction are unfair to

If the electors and taxpayers had not

COUNTY ENEMIES AT WORK.

II there has been any doubt of de-
termined attempt to kill the County
Law, not because the law Is defective.
but on account of deep-set opposition
TO local self.government, the cloud was
certainly dispelled this morning. when
the chief critic of the Hatch mission
showed Its hand.
The attitude of these critics is this
They oppose the ratification OF the
County Law by Congress. an action
which will quickly place the law be-
yond the danger of successful attack.
They oppose an extra session OF the
Legislature to amend the County Law
with the Organic Act.
What is the result this opposition
foreshadows?
There can be but one result. The
County Law will pass out Of existence.
The Board Of Supervisors, the county
officers whom the people have elected,
will not take office. Local self.gov.
eminent will become a fleeting dream,
Hawaii will continue for another per.
Tod under centralized government and
the first principle Of development on
traditional American lines will have
suffered defeat.
This is the result old opponents of
the County Law are trying to accom-.
plish and Il must be admitted they
stand a chance of success II the people
allow themselves to be hoodwinked by
the fractional criticism Of Mr.. Hatch's
work and lambasted into fear of the
dangers of an extra session of the Leg
islature.
These opponents OF the County Law
object TO Congressional approval of
the law as 1t stands. They object to
an extra session of the Legislature.
They offer no alternative course to pre-
serve the law.
They approve test case before the
Supreme Court and In the same breath
point to the fact that with the County
Law void the old laws, including old
appropriations, will remain In force.
Does any intelligent voter have TO
be told what this means? Does he
have to be told that the enemies of
local self.government are doing their
utmost to defeat the demand OF an
overwhelming majority OF the voters
of this Territory?
Having found out that Mr.. Hatch
has studied the situation in Washing
ton, having learned that Hatch finds
the Delegate and his Congressional as.
sociates favorable to the movement
for Congressional approval of the
County Law, having been acquainted
with the details of the bill introduced
by Delegate Kuhio. having been told
the whole story as regards the Wash
ington end and found the prospects
favorable to a prompt settlement OF
County Law difficulties, these oppo-
nents of American local government
In this American Territory still strug'
gle to further arouse suspicion of the
integrity of Mr.. Hatchs motives and
OF the Delegate.
The only real sorrow that pervades
the house of the County Law enemies
Is the fact that Mr., Hatch was able to
canvass the situation so promptly and

TWO JUDGES ARE NAMED Governor Fills Vacancies in Two Counties. IN BUTLER AND CLAY Probate offices Supplied by
 Appointment. pr. s. J. Gay Succeeds N. W. What ley and H. D. Lampley Takes
 ohace Vacated by Fell
 

Two Probate Judges were appointed yesterday by Governor Jelks. They are pr. S. J. Gay for Clay County and H. D.. Lampley for Butler County.
 pr. Gay will succeed Judge M. w. Whatley, who recently resigned and dis appeared, while George F. Sedberry, As- sistant Examiner of Public Accounts, was investigating his books and accounts. Judge Lampiey succeeds Judge zeil Gaston, who resigned to remove to Bir- mingham, where he will practice law.
 The resignation of Judge Whatley caused a scurrying among the friends of three applicants for the place. They were Dr. s. J. Gay of Lineville and E. J. Garrison and J. A. White of Ashland. The three applicants accompanied by their friends were in Montgomery yesterday and had interviews with Governor Jelks.
 The successful applicant. pr. Gay, is a practicing physician at Lineville, and Is one of the leading citizens of Clay Coun- ty. He is about 40 years old and has never held 8 public office. He was an un- successful applicant for Physician Con- vict Insjector before Governor Sanford two years ago, when Df. Shirley Bragg of Montgomery was apponted.
 E. J. Garrison and J. A. White, unsuc- cessfuI applicants for the place, are lead ing citizens of Ashland. Mir. Garrison is a lawyer and Mir. White was formerly Sheriff and Tax Collector of Clay County.
 Dr. Gay and Messrs Garrison and White and their friends will return to Clay County today.
 The newly-appointed Probate Judge Of Butler County had no opposition. Judge H. D. Lamhley is a prominent lawyer of Greenville. He never held a public off, flee before. An influential delegation of Butler County citizens was at the Capitol yes> terday to see Governor JJelks in the in- terest of Judge Lampley. The delegation consisted of Col. c. B. Hamilton. Hon. H. B. Pilley, Gen. J. B. Stanley, Arthur Gamble and J. R. Porterf1eld. They told Governor Jelks that Judge Lampley was the practically unanimous choice of the people of Butler County.
 As soon as Judge Lampley and Judge Gay make bonds and they are approved by the Circuit Judge or Chancellor of their respective districts. they will be commissioned.

EDUCATORS AT AsHEvIILE.
President Thach of Auburn Reads
 Paper.

Asheville. N. C., July 2-The Southern Educational Association began its second days work with . discussion of Re quirements in Study of English for Ad-
 mission to College" by Prof. T. o. liar rison of Davidson College. North Caro- l ltna. Prof. Harrison stated the scope of English study to be threefold; first. knowledge of It's literature; second, study of the language in its relation to other languages of the Aryan group: third the power of the language to express thought. Particular emphasis was given the latter and attention was drawn to the inability of the great majority of people to give an intelligent direction to a stranger who asked the location of particular street or place.
 Dr. Charles c. Thach, President of Aio- barna Polytechnic Institute, read paper on Teaching English Literature in Common Schools" and his illustration of the lack of preparation evidenced by ap- plicants for admission to colleges was both humorous and apt t-
 Dr. Thomas Hume of University of North Carolina. spoke of the "Ethical Value of Literature" and emphasized the need of Its being taught in common schools. giving as a reason therefor, the fact that only 20 per cent of those who at- tended common schools ever go to col lege and hence receive little if any in- struction in English literature.
 The convention then heard five minute talks from various members upon the im- portance of the study of English litera- ture and after a short business session the morning meeting adjourned.
 In the Southern Educational Conven- ton tonight the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Francis P. Venable of Chapel Hill, N. C.; Vice-President, J. W. Nicholson of Baton Rouge, La.; Treasurer. s. H. Edmunds of Sumter. s. C.; Secretary. R. J. Tighe of Asheville, N. c. The afternoon ses- sion was devoted to discussion of "Chil- dren's Libraries in the Public Schools" by Superintendent W. W. Barnett of Houston. Texas, and "of the Social En- vironment of the Child" by Mss Minnie MceFat of Winthrop College. Rock Hill. s. c. At the night session the committee on the good of the Association reported the following resolutions:
 Resolved, That the Executive Commit tee select a place for the next place of meeting that will be most convenient and most desirable.
 Second-That a State Manager for each Southern State be appointed by the Pres ident
 Third-That these managers confer with the authorities of the several States and suggest to the Executive Committee a time that will not conflict with other con ventions.
 These resolutions were adopted.

The Miners Strike.

There was no change in the suspension of work at the coal mines, where mem bers of the United Mine Workers of America are employed and so far no ap- breaches have been made on either side looking to a settlement. w. R. Fairley, Alabama member of the National Exec utive Board, has gone to Indianapolis, to consult with National President John Mitchell, in reference to the suspension in this State. He Is looked to return either tomorrow afternoon or Saturday morning.
 Joe Clemo. secretary of the district or ganizat ton, stated this afternoon that the suspension could not be termed a strike exacly, inasmuch os J. W. Mcqueen, Second Vice-President of the Sloss- -Shef- field Steel and Iron Company, was the author of the motion which prevailed to the effect that the joint conference be- tween miners and operators adjourn sub 1ect to the call of the chairman. This means that negotiations might be taken up at any moment, if 1t was saw fit.
 Ed Flynn, President of the district or ganization, says that the suspension can be called strike, as it's result Is the same. The suspension has caused a num- Der of crews on different railroads in this
