DIVERSIFIED INDUSTRIES.

We yesterday slightly referred to
tho consideration of House Bill "a,
to encourage diversified industries.
The encouragement was in reference
to the cultivation of sisal, castor oil
beans snd vanilla by e1empting the
growers from paying taxes for ten
years. Some time ago, as soon as
tho bill was given notice OF and in
troduced by Representative Knud-
sen, The INDEPENDENT said that the
intended exemption OF ten years was
too long, five years being deemed
sufficient, but since after having had
the same under mature consider
alton, we now feel that five years
would be too short time and that
ten years would be just about right,
giving cultivators enough time to
work any OF these industries aud
set them on their feet as paying
propositions. providing they succeed
and are successful growers.
Upon the discussion of the bill
day before yesterday in the House,
Representative Bsckley, on taking
the floor, after recalling the atten-
tion of members to the sense of de-
corum, because just prior to so doing
some spirit of lsvity was being ma 1i-
tested, he claimed that sugar was
king OF these islands, whateyer flag
foated, and that it was time to con-
slider gravely the encouragement of
diversified industries, This was es,
peoially the duty of the members In
view OF the keen competition and
the increased production of beet
sugar on the mainland. When sugar
was up, the country prospered.
When the sugar was down, we had
hard times. Sisal was waste land
growth, and its production particu.
lsrly desireable. There was a cry
for the settlement OF email farmers
in the country"
Continuing further, he said that
I'VE do not want any more small
farmers, gentlemen. There are small
farmers enough in the country If

The cry has always been for seve
raj years past for the introduction, +,
establishment and encouragement of
small farmers IN diversified indus
tries. At the present time, it is all
sugar. Our industrial eggs are all
placed in one basket, which should
not be. but it is we'll to induce aud
encourage other industries. We re-
member soma years ago, Represen-
tative Andrade was one Of a COM
pany OF young men who went in the
farming business in the raising OF
canagrie, but they had to abandon
it after trying for some years. We
think that had those energetic
young men had sufficient encourage
ment, they might still have been in
the business today.

Representative Greenwell thought
that five years was plenty. We
understand that it would cost to
have sisal farm OF 250 acres $50 900
in that time, and at the same install
the necessary machinery for the de-
corticating process Of cleaning the
fibre. The first five years comprise
the most expensive time of the ex-
detrimental enterprise or undertak-
ing, as the case may be, and then
comes the proportion Of time for re-
coupling past investment and expen-
ditura. Why pay taxes in the early
stages Of the experiment Mr. Beck
ley is right that "sisal was a waste
land growth. and Its production
particularly desirable," and we sec-
ond him "every time" on that. Why
impose taxation on valueless and
waste land He and his mother are
now growers Of sisal on vast land of
theirs on Molokai, still the industry
should be encouraged. But above
all, The INDpPENDENr urges that the
measure should be passed in the in
terest OF the people and of the
country's prosperity

The excuse of Representative Fer
nandez made yesterday morning to
the Speaker that he felt unwell the
afternoon before and made certain
untoward remarks, therefore, he did
not feel that he should come in the
evening and get into another wordy
discussion. Withdrawing bis re-
marks, he was gracefully excused.
When asked by the Speaker yes.
terdaY morning for the cause Of alb
sence from the session OF the pre-
vious night, Representative Kalama
said that he had gone up, in com.

Continuing further, he said that
"we do not want any more small

farmers enough in the country If
you give them a chance. The trouble
is that the sugar plantations control
the country. The merchants are

FOR LAW AND ORDER.
Citizens Of Saluda County
Remedies Demanded.


held in the court house yesterday,
and the following preamble and
resolutions were passed:
"Whereas, Saluda county is so
rapidly losing prestige among the
counties OF the State ard is bccom-
ing a hiss and by-word in ether
States, and, justly so, because Of
the alarming increase of lawless-
ness, and especially the heinous
crime Of murder. and
"Whereas, the proper authori-
ties exert themselves SO feebly to
apprehend and bring to trial per-
pctrators of such foul deeds, and
the courts SO signally fail to mete
out justice upon the guilty parties,
thereby encouraging such afro
cities, rather than atfording the
proper protection to the law.abid.
ing citizens Of the county and up
holding the dignity Of the law, and
Whereas, we believe that the
failure upon the part of the proper
authorities and the courts at large
is traceable to the damaging in-
tlucnces of whiskey upon the NOR
ais Of cur people, together with the
unscrupulous methods sometimes
employed by the legal fraternity in
their efforts to confuse witnesses
and to break down and destroy
testimony, and thereby defeat the
' ends Of Justice and otherwise ma
nipulate the courts SO as to make
them serve selfish ends, rather than
the good Of commonwealth; there,

and that we will ever hold ourscl-

mate way in The prosecution Of all
