The Hawaiian Dcnth Prayer.

Upon the minds o" slch people as
lie Hawaiians were, wAi'e Under their
ancient form of religion, it was but
Natural that superstition should gain a
rooted hold. The most curious and eff
foctive belief to which they were made
subject was that Il man can be prayed
to death, BELIEF that survives among
the natives to the present day. For
the success OF the tragical death prayer
it was necessary to obtain some hair
or a piece of finger nail Of tie intended
victim. A priest was then employed
to use incantation and prayer for his
destruction Always informed of the
doom that the priest was invoking upon
him, the victim generally pinned away
and died.
There is q story that an Englishman
in the service of Kamehameha l. hav-
ing incurred the displeasure of a priest
the latter proceeded to remove" him
by the death prayer process. The An
glo-Saxon, however set up an opposi
ton altar in derision and jokingly pro
claimed that he intended to pray the
priest to death Alarmed ut the threat
and overwhelmed at the failure Of his
own incantations, the sOrcerer died
proving by his death his faith in hi:
religion

The recognition of the value Of a new
idea in regard to a business point is
leading employers to encourage criti-
cisms and suggestions from employees
in respect to the details Of the bust
ness, thus utilizing their microscopic
view rather than depending solely on
the birdseye view which is taken by
the manager. A friendly feeling re-
suits from this attitude, and the en-
ployee takes a deeper interest in his
work, developing his>own capacity and
helping the business. To see his idea
carried out by his superiors puts new
life into him and adds new enthusiasm
to- his efforts.-SucceSs.

woMAN's CASE BEING ARGUED.
All testimony in the Chadwick Tria

Cleveland, March 1O.-It is probable
that the Chadwick case will net be

Monday. When court opened this
morning Judge Taylor asked the coan-

of time they would require for their
arguments. He had no desire, he said
to limit the arguments in any way
but wished the attorneys TO reach an
agreement of some kind
After a conference between District
Attorney Sullivan and Attorney j. I
Dawley, for the defense, it was agreed
that the arguments should be practi.
cally unlimited. Neither Mr. Sulli-
van or Mr. Dawley was able to say
just how much time would be required
but both were of the opinion that all
the arguments would consume more
than the two session of today
Assistant District Attorney Thomas

fined himself largely to the law in the

THE VOTE IS CLOSE;
COBB The WINNER,
Election One of the Closest
in Years.
EIGHT CANDIDATES FOR OFFICE
Captain John a. Cobb Is Elected by a
Plurality of Twelve Notes.-The Re-
suit in Doubt Until The Last Precinct
Had Reported.

Judge John A. Cobb, of the court
of ordinary" is now the official title of
one of Sumter county's most genial.
popular and highly esteemed citizens.
and hundreds of friends wish him long
tenure in this position, which he is so
we'll and ably qualified to fill.
This is the result of one Of the most
spirited elections held in Sumter in re-
cent years
With eight candidates contrasting for
the coveted honor Capt. Cobb won out
by plurality of 10 voter, and not until
the last precinct had reported was his
election fully assured.
But with such big field of csndi-
dates even such plurality is consid-
cred gratifying.
Owing to the fact that the Seven
teenth and Twenty eight districts are
far in the country and without tele-
phone communication with the city, the
result Ct the balloting at these places
could not be a;certained until sent in
by messenger next morning.
Yesterday the executive committee
met at the courthouse, consolidated the
returns and announced the result as
follows:
John A. Cobb 262; w r. Allen $50; G..
P. Suber 80; W. A. Wilson II; Geo, w.
Stallings 80; A r. Logan A; Joseph
A. (Nap) Cobb ID; w. T. Christopher 5.
The race between Messrs. Cobb ana
Allen was very close.
Capt. Cobb will assume the duties of
probate Judge, or judge Of the court of
ordinary as it is generally called, as
soon as his commission is forwarded.
His term of Office is four years, less the
two and half months expiring since
January LIST.
Judge Cobb, as he will be called, is
too we'll known here and throughout
the state to need commentator from
this humble source. No man in Geor-
gia has ever done more for his county
and people or more richly deserved the
honor thus accorded.
And it goes without saying that the
affairs of his office will ever be admin
istered with wisdom, justice and
moderation"

industries Of widest extent throughout
the United States, the information
given touches the interest Of nearly
every region Of the country. Every
farmer north, south, east and west
may take an instructive stroll with DR..
Forbes through the entomologic field.
There are few who will not learn some
thing of worth from the practical re-
port. and the illustrations really illus

admirable manner.
While the economic feature receives
full attention, the author also takes In
to account the rapidly rising interest in
nature study and makes his report Of
material value for this purpose to the
public school teacher and student of
whatever grade. The study presented
Is intended to furnish a clew to the
whole system of insect life Of which
the corn plant is the center. 1t thus
stands as in many expects type or
example of the relations Of a plant to
| its insect visitants
DR.. Forbes has a pleasing way of
throwing Illuminating side lights on
| the statements of familiar facts, to the
| Increase of their interest and value.
