THE HOTELS FARM.

In the suburb of Kalihi the Alexander
Young Hotel maintains a farm of its
own whence comes dairy produce of the
best, carefully tended and overlooked
by experienced hands. The results are
appreciated by the guests who draw
from an unfailing supply of the fresh
est milk, cream and eggs and the fat
test and tenderest poultry.
The qualifications of the management
in its tender care of it's guests appetites
extends much farther than the usual
plans. Wherever some plsl citation pro-
duces jufcier or perhaps earlier fruit
than others on the island, its produce is
promptly requisitioned. The fish ponds
with the finest nfullet. the preserves
where the zplumpest game abounds. all
are culled by the watchful caterers of
the Young. Fruits and meats of the
island typical of the place and palatable
to unaccustomed appetites are made a
feature of the daily menus.
THE SEASIDE ANNEX.
At Waikiki the bathing resort and
ocean suburb of Hawaii, there is as all
the tourist world that crosses the Pac-
ific knows, a delightful beach OF white
coral, where the charms of dip, In
sunlight or moonlight the year round,
may be enjoyed.
There are many charms TO sea bath
ing at Waikiki seldom to be found else
where. The water is usually of such
crystal clearness rsaat bathers can see
the bottom plainly, with here and there
patches of sea moss adhering to the
coral, the coloring varied as the hues of
the rainbow. Shallow water and deep
water, rough water and smooth water
may be had within short distances, and
large areas may be found where the
depth varies from three to four feet.
This makes safe bathing for children
and unskilled swimmers. The temp
erature of the water is such that the
person feels but little shock upon en-
tering it. Even delicate persons may
remain in the water for hours.
Here the Alexander Young Hotel
maintains an annex for the accommoda-
ton of it's guests, where those who
wish for perfect rest and quiet close by
the soothing murnlur OF the reef, may
pass days and nights of tropical dolce
far niente long, delightful hours of day
dreams and night slunlbers where palm
trees wave and ripples plash upon "A
shell strewn strand.
The annex is connected with town by
the up-to-date electric ear system, cars
running every ten minutes at a five
cent fare with transfers to all parts of
the city.

the hotel is drawn from ar artesia1

lion gallons if required. TIKI supply
is pumped to the roof. there it is stor-
ed in four tanks of 5000 gallons capacity
each, and the supply of the building
is thus secured by gravity. Hot water,
however, is circulated through the
building by the pump in engine room.
The refrigeration plant has a capac-
ity of two and a half tons of ice a day,
but where refrigeration is needed in
kitchen or pantries, buffet or bar it
is obtained through a circulation of
freezing brine through ramifications of
pipe.
There is in the rear of the hotel a
laundry capable of taking care of all
the demands upon it at any time. In
addition to the regular hotel work the
plant will, in it's great drying box, one
of the most effective made, take care

The elevators in the hotel building
are twenty-five in number, all in the

COL. SMITHS LETTER.

Elsewhere we print in this issue a
letter from Col. A. L Smith, of Char
lotte, which ought to claim the atten-
ton Of every citizen and taxpayer in
Halifax county.
Col. Smiths home was at Scotland
Neck during his childhood and youth.
He has fine real estate near Scotland
Neck now and pays considerable taxes
in the county. lie, therefore, speaks
as citizen of the county when he de-
elares for double tax for the roads and
he speaks also from observation when
he refers to the value of good roads in
MeckIenburg county and quotes the
prices OF farm property, showing that
With good roads the value of such prop
erty has doubled within a few years.
AS Col. Smith we'll observes in his
letter, the greatest drawback to this re-
gion Of North Carolina is poor roads.
Truly Eastern Carolina is a garden
spot, and we only need certain and
proper developments to reap a great
and abundant reward. The establish
fishing OF good roads will do much to-
ward bringing about most improved
condition of our agricultural interests.

SAYS DOUBLE THE ROAD TAX.

Editor THE COMMONWEALTH
I noticed in the last issue OF your
paper some objection to the present
road system in Halifax county. As
you noted in your editorial, it would
be better for the people to give the sys-
tenn a fair trial before condemnlng It.
Working roads by taxation has GER
tainIy proven the best method, as OK.
empllfied by our county OF Mecklen-
burg, which has over one hundred
miles of macadamized roads, built at a
cost of about $1,000 to the mile. What
would the citizens of Halifax think of
this outlay? Being a taxpayer in
Halifax, I would not object to the road
tex being doubled TOR here we see what
good roads mean 20 any community.
They have moro than doubled the
value of property in this county. Be-
fore We had good roads farming proper
ty for four, five to six miles from Char
lotte could be purchased for eight, ten
and twelve dollars per acre :.now it will
bring from twenty to forty. One of
your greatest drawbacks is bad roads,
which should not be the case where
they can be made at such small cost.
Instead of contracting, let them double
the work now now being done and they
will never regret 1t.
