natured rivalry among the teams. Last
night Brown and Sheppard lost two
games to Harkins and Snellenburg, and
won three from McKenna and Green.
Jones" and Huxley lost three to No
Kenna and Green and two out of three
to Snellenburg and Harkins. They did not
bowl up to their usual form.
There were some good individual scores
made during the evening. Chief McKenna
Of the "shore Bucket Brigade" was the
star of the evening. In his three games
against Jones" and Huxley he totalled
65S. In his second game he made nine
consecutive strikes, but a bad split
spoiled his chances Of making 300 1t was
remarked on the side lines that he was
master of the art Of bowling. but as a
fireman he has things 10 learn. Shep-
pard was second high with a total of GIG.
He started his first game, against Nc
Kenna and Green, with seven strikes, but
two splits kept his score down to 228
Brown also went over 600 by the margin
Of three pins. The next games will

SATISFACTORY PROGRESS.
Edgec0mbe Farmers Are Paying to
Support The Association.
(Tarboro Southerner.

Judge Bourne, who is now canvass
ing the county by townships collecting
8 cents per bale of cotton to aid the
Cotton Growers Association in their
fight for higher prices for the valua-
bic staple, reports very satisfactory
progress in the four townships which
he has visited. The farmers have
manifested their determination to win
this fight by paying promptly as they
are approached
The colored tenants are showing a
laudable interest by contributing their
share in support of the organization;
one colored woman who had sold her
cotton six bales, gave Judge Bourne
IS cents, saying: II have already sold
my cotton, but here's Is cents to
keep"
1t behooves every small farmer to
contribute the small amount asked;
for only in this way can the great
organization be maintained. The ex-
posure of the false reports on cotton
issued by the Agricultural Department
is due to the efforts of the Cotton
Growers Association.

The problem of administration of the
public lands CT Hawaii. involving, as
the Hawaiian people believe il does.
the whole question of restoring the wan
ing prosperity OF that territory, was
explained today by DR. Henry Hayes.
OF Hilo. Hawaii. formerly of Washing
ton. who is now in this city.
Hawaiis population is decreasing and
business conditions are bad generally
throughout the islands, declares Dr.
Hayes. due largely to the land monop-
oily which exists. Dr. Hayes said:
THE lanG-the sole source of wealth
is held by large corporations, and pri-
vate individuals find it almost impossi-
bic to obtain any. AS = consequence of
this condition the population is shrink
ing at a rapid rate. and the develop
ment of the Territory along American
lines is being checked.
But there is u remedy and it seems
so simple that the wonder is that it
has not been applied before.
AT the time the islands were annexed
the Crown and Government lands of
Hawaii were ceded TO the United States
but the administration of them was left
10 the. local government instead of being
vested in the commission of the
general land office. These lands, aggre-
eating 1.Il5.069 acres, were nearly all

they would prove a bonanza to American
farmers. as their farms would be al

Good Living Out of Soil.
Speaking further on the subject DIR.
Hayes said that a sugar cane farm OF
fifty acres, or even of twenty-five acres
in a good location. would furnish more
than a good living for a family, and
that. according TO the estimate OF va.
rious United States officials who have
visited the islands, the Territory should
support a white population of half {
million.
