THE GOOD OLD WAY.

Church White of Atchison regrets
that the merchants of the present day
do not do business as they did at
Hainesville, Mo-, where he was raised.
The custom there was to settle with
the store once a year, on the 1st Of
January. Once Whites father went
into McCrory's store to settle. Whats
my bill?" he asked of McCrory. "Well
George" said McCrory pay what you

One of the most interesting and Gu
rious turns and developments in politi-
cal controversy was brought to a
startling climax by a communication
from Col Curtis p. Iaukea in the Even
ing Bulletin of yesterday and an edi-
torial on the subject in this mornings
Pacific Commercial Advertiser. Col.
Iaukea's communication in the Bulle-
tin is as follows:
Editor Evening Bulletin :-Howeve
one may differ on politics and I confess
that l do take issue with you and many
Republican supporters on the question
of drawing strict party lines in purely
local matters, cannot help but say
that in your criticisms and comments
of public acts and utterances, the Bull
letin attitude has always maintained
manly and dignified attitude to
friend and foe alike
I am compelled to make this asser-
ton publicly. by reason of an unfair
and base insinuation, which in a ye-
cent issue of the Advertiser, l was by
implication placed in a most uneviable
light Had the paper in question any
sense of honor and fairness, it would
have caused to be corrected Especially
after the reference made in your edi-
torial comments of the same afternoOn)
any wrong impression the combina-
ltion of circumstances may have left
its readers to infer
To be charitable, viewed the matter
IN
as a simple and pure coincidence; but
the Advertiser further aggravates the
case by reverting to similar insinua-
lions of malfeasance, etc, in its edi-
torial notes of this morning with the
implied accusation of yesterday stin
fresh in the minds of its readers, and
no word of explanation as to whom it
was directed against
/ am not airing this as a personal
grievance, Mr.. Editor, but to show to
what base uses men high in influence
can descend to attain their own self
ish ends. 1t is because that l have
dared to come out in open opposition
ITO the element that the Advertiser rep
resents. Must threats and insinuatiOns
of this nature be held over a mans
head because forsooth the dictates of
his conscience will not permit him to
longer eat of the crumbs that fan from
their table?
Were my present attitude of OPPOSE
ton based on personal grounds, there
might be some excuse for resorting to
tactics of this kind. But If l was ever
sincere i'm my life it is when | say that
l believe the Advertiser and the fac
ton it. represents is and has been and
always will be antagonistic to the peo-
pie in the establishment of republican
institutions in Hawaii. A strong ad-
vOcate of popular government for this
Territory, must | also fall a victim to
the same thrust in the back" that
many another Independent spirit has
been forced before now to submission.
That there may be spots and stains
around my skirts that can never be
erased by mortal hands, will not de-
ny. To God alone must l atone for
these shortcomings. But in the words
of the Gospel. Let him who is among
you without sin, cast the first stone"

The further "aggravation' given by
the Advertiser "by reverting to similar
insinuations of malfeasance, etc, in its
editorial notes of this morning Guly 25)
with the implied accusation of yester-

readers" seems to be the following edi-
torial paragraph:

GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
Problem of convicts Has Been Settled
by the House.

by the House.
Atlanta August 6.-By bare consti.
tut1onal majority the house succeeded
yesterday in passing a convict bill,
a substitute for the Clements bill,
which bore the names of Messrs.
Howell, ct Meriwether, and Knight, OF
Berrien, and which went through by
a vote oe 8S to H.
The question was decided with CON-
parativoly little debate, the greater
part of the morning session being
consumed in taking votes The yea
and nay vote was taken three times
On practically the same proposition
The measure which the house pass
ed makes few changes of consequence
in the present lease system with the
exception Of providing for an increas-
ed price for the convicts and prohibit
Ing subletting. There Is a provision
relative tC letting short term convicts
to counties for road work at $120 per
year, but 1t is generally thought there
will be few counties, If any, to take
advantage of it. The principles OF.
the bill are generally in accord with
those Of the measure which bore the
name of Mr.. Sted, of Taylor, and he
assente1 tc this substitute and voted
for its passage.
The opponents of the lease system
died nard. They fought every inch
of ground yesterday The Clements
bill was the order of the day, and sew
eral substitutes and amendments were
offered as was expected. The Glenn
ents bill, which has passed the sen.
ate, was simply measure providing
for the 1e-enactment of the present
system without change
Several measures of Importance and
interest were considered and acted on
at yesterdays session of the general
judicial committee of the house.
The committee recommended favor
ably a bill by Mr.. Little, of Hancock,
to amend the general tax act so as to
put tax Of $25 for every 1875 miles
Travelled, In one direction only, of ex-
cursions given by private parties. This
does not apply to excursions OF reIi-
gious and benevolent socisties.
Another bill favorabIy recommended
was by Senator Duncan, of the thirty
sixth, and provides for an amendment
to section 9S5 of the code so as to
change the amount of bonds given by
state repositories. This measure pro-
vides that bonds given by such de-
positories shall cover the amount de.
posted with them, and at no time
shall the deposit excee0 the amount
of the bond The present bond re-
quired is $4,000.

Representative Mills Says He Was Ap-
preached by Man In Lobby Who
Offered Him Above Sum to Oppose
Child Labor Bill.

Atlanta, August 6.-The most sensa-
tional session of the special committee
appointed to investigate the charges of
lobbying in the legislature was held
this morning and the sensation was
sprung by Representative w. D. Minis,
of Cherokee county.
Mr.. Mills was the member whose tes-
timony was wanted yesterday, but
when his name was called as a witness
he was absent. A summons was sent
him and he appeared today.
This morning when he took the stand
he said he had been offered money to
vote against the child labor bill.
Il was approached by a man in the
lobby who asked me to vote against
the BILL" he said, "and he offered me
$500 to Go as he asked"
Mr. Mills had seen people on the
floor OF the house and senate not mem
bers. During the pending of the
child labor bill," said Mr.. Mills, 81
had two of my constituents to make
personal appeals to me to vote against
the child labor bill They were
stockholders in the mill at my home,
and said they thought it best for the
county that the bill should not pass.
At home | heard from friends of mine
that these parties had said if voted
for the child labor bill I would be de-
feated for the senate if ran. Yester-
day l heard again that those parties
had said they would defeat me because
| did not vote against the bill"
Mr.. MILLS was not approached in any
way, he said, about the textbook bill,
and nobody except members had dis
cussed the convict bill with him. Mr..
Mills said he was improperly approach
ed once about the child labor bill.
81 had rather not tell who threaten
cd to beat me for the seaate for they
are my political enemies and heven't got
any conscience. They don't amount
to much, and If l give their names
they would claim took advantage of
them"
Senator Hopkins insisted on the
question being answered but Senator
Davis, who asked it withdrew it.
Mr.. Mills then explained why he was
not here yesterday, saying he had
leave of absence to attend Cherokee
county court and didn't finish UP his
case until o'clock. Further, Mr. Mills
said:
With no disrespect to the commit
tee this Investigation will amount to
a whitewash, it makes no difference
how many witnesses you summon. All
the evidence will be hearsay."
Mr.. Hopkins interrupted, saying his
remarks were out of place and not at
all apropos. Mr.. Mills was then ex.
cused
