We want to place it in every home in this county. But we don't want to send 1t to any person who does not appreciate it, nor want 1t. or wont pay for it, and If any of that class are getting It, if they will let us know we will be glad to take their names off our list before we issue our handsome Art Souvenir Supplement.
 We hope they will pay what they owe at the same tune, so that their accounts may be closed on our books, and that we may not have to take legal steps to collect It.

for upwards of six years, said he did not think he should be expect ed to pay that amount because the paper had been sent without his order. When he subscribed he paid for the paper one year, but did not instruct us to discontinue it at the end of that time. and says we had no right to send 1t longer, and should have stopped it, and that he is not liable tor it.
 He has been dunned every year, and It took him six years to let us known that we ought not to send him the paper. and he took it and read 1t every week. He offered to pay $500 in full settlement of the account, which we refused to ac- cept, not believing that sum an equitable offer.
 He acknowledges that he has had the paper in his home, though he says many times he did not read it, which we thlnk beg gars the question. He has had the benefit of our labor, the paper was sent him in good faith, and if he did not want it, or intend to pay for it, he should have so informed us when we sent him the first state ment of his account. Otherwise his receiving the paper and refus- ing to pay for It on such grounds is prima tacie evidence Of traudu- lent intent.
 We do not wish to force the paper upon any person. In fact we rarely ever even solicit sub- scriptions personally. But if we were to take the names off the list as this subscriber suggests we would offend at least S5 per cent of our subscri bers, and the rule is. when no time is specified, to send the paper until it is ordered stop- ped and all arrearrges paid, or un- tll we have reasons 10 diStrust the subscri Der. This is the general rule among county papers, and the subscriber Is responsi ble so long as he takes the paper from the office and reaps it's benefits. If sub scr'ber pays for year or more or less, and asks that II be discon- tinued at the expiration of that time, the same will be done.
 We shall insist upon these ac- counts being paid, and hope others will not force us to send their ac counts to the agency. This method of collecting is unpleasant to us and very expensive, as we are forced to pay them 25 per cent of the amount collected.
 Now that we have ourselves gone largely in debt for new press, machinery, type, etc, and desiring to meet our obligations like hon. orable men; and as the paper IS to be greatly improved, we hope all readers of The Times will help us, at least to the extent of paying promptly what Is due. If for any reason, you do not desire us to send you the paper, please in form us of that fact at once, so that any future misunderstanding may

county paper whose owners pride themselves upon being honest, God fearing and upright citizens, and even members of churches and oath-bound organizations, who, un- less you have the most stringent "deadwood" on them, will invent some, and take advantage of every technieality to relieve themselves of the responsibility of payment.
 Take for instance the following, which IS frequent experience with the country newspaper man. A citizsn comes into the office of the newspaper and says he desires to take the paper. His name is enrolled, he pays cash in advance for few months, or perhaps q year. He leaves no instructions to discon ntinue the paper at the end of the time paid for, and the editor, believing him to be q good citizen and honorable, and that he wants the paper and will pay tor 1t, hates to drop the name from his list for fear of offending a friend.
 The paper continues to be mailed to this subscriber. He or someone for him takes 1t from the postoffi ce It is taken Into his home and is there read, and he or his family have the use and benefit of it.
 In time, statement of the ac- count is sent. The subscriber gets the statement, reads it, and forgets It, or wlllfully neglects to pay it. It continues several years He IS notified again and again that he should settle the account. Instead however, he allows it to accumulate until 1t gets hard to pay.
 Then perhaps the editor becomes lnslstent. He needs che money which he has earned honestly and in good faith, and he takes aggres- s've steps to collect
 Finally, when the subscriber sees he cannot longer put the mat ter off without compromising his honor, he hits upon the plan of beggaring the situation, and nurses himself into believing the tallucin- atlon that he does not owe the newspaper man q cent.
 We have had such an experience. Not long ago, after exhausting our resources upon some few of our subscribers, and failing abso- lutely to hear from them after re- peated statements had been sent them, We sent their accounts to the newspaper collecting agency for collection.
 The first letter from this agency, being q very mild request for pay ment, was treated the same as our statement The second letter from the agency, which was somewhat sternor, brought us ina few dol lars-at the expense, however, of friendship and patronage in some cases. The third letter from the agency, which plainly told the de linquent that he must pay or the matter would go to the courts, has set some of them to studying how

Because the liver is neglected people suffer

With constipation, biliousness, k headaches ana levers. Colds attack | the lungs and contagious diseases take hold of the system. It is safe to say that if the liver were always kept in proper working order, illness would be almost unknown.
 Thedford's Black-Draught is so successful in curing such sickness because it is without a rival as a liver regulator. This great family medicine IS not a strong and drastic drug, but mild and healthful laxative that cures con stipation and may be taken by a mere child without possible a harm. B The healthful action on the liver cures blllousness. It has an in- J yigorating effect on the kidneys. Because the liver and kidneys do not work regularly, the poisonous acids along with the waste from the bowels get back into the blood and virulent contagion results.
 Timely treatment with Thed- lords Black-Draught removes the dangers which turk in constipation, liver and kidney troubles, and will positively forestall the inroads of Bright's disease, for which dis ease in advanced stages there is no cure. Ask your dealer for a 25c. package of Thedford's Black Draught.

THE DOMINICAN PROTOCOL.
Minister Dawson Reports Its Signature
Yesterday.

The State Department has received
notice from Minister Dawson at San Do
mingo that the new protocol was signed
Yesterday providing for the administra-
ton of the Dominican customs receipts
by the United States. The document is
expected to reach Washington next week
and will be promptly submitted to the
Senate for action.
An important feature of the protocol is
the omission of the provision in the orig
inal memorandum of January 21 guaran
teeing the integrity of San Domingo.
The new document simply binds the Unit
ed States to respect the integrity of Domin-
lean territory. The Monroe doctrine is re-
garded by officials sufficient to convey
the broader guarantee. 1t Is also provided
that the new protocol must, before becom-
ing effective be approved not only by the
United States Senate, but by the Dominican
congress- and that proviso makes it i'm pos
sible to define the precise date upon which
the agreement will begin to operate. AS the
protocol is regarded as executive business,
the State Department does not feel at lib
erty to make public its text pending its dis
posal by the Senate.

CROPS IN HAWAII.
Reports Received From the Weather
Bureaus CORRESPONDENT.


During the latter part of 1904 the
weather bureau of the Department of
Agriculture established a section of it's
climate and crop service in Hawaii. About
forty voluntary meteorological stations
are being established and equipped with
the instruments of standard pattern, and
the cooperation of a large number of
climate and crop correspondents has been
secured. The regular issue of weekly
crop bulletins was begun January 0, 1905
Bulletins for that date and for the weeks
ending January IA and 21 have thus far
been received at the central office of the
weather bureau in Washington. These
bulletins show that the weather in the
islands has been so abnormally cool since
the first of the year as to retard the
growth of young cane and check the
ripening of pineapples and vegeta bles.
Dry weather has also prevailed except
in a few sections of limited extent and in
consequence pastures and stock generally
are in poor condition. and streams, even
in the windward districts, are low, the
shortage of water seriously interfering
with the grinding of cane The preva-
lence of sunny weather. however had
beneficial effect so far as the ripening of
older cane is concerned The preparation
of rice lands is in progress and pineapple
plants and avocado pear trees have be-
gun to blossom.

TWO AssAss1Ns WERE FRIENDS

Governor General Bobrikoff of Finland in

Schaumann and Hohenthal lived at the

Hohenthal approved generally of Schau-

ance that he was of the opinion that il
was not very manly to commit suicide af-
terward considering it was Schaumann's
duty to face the music in such a case. If

The report that Hohenthal took poison
before entering the late procurator gem
erals apartment does not accord with this
view, and the cool manner in which he re-
loaded his pisto'. as later established, and
exchanged shots with Soininen's son and
detective speaks volumes for his determi-
nation. So many shots were fired in little
more than a minute that the apartment
was filled with smoke. The police as yet
have not made any arrests, but donieilary
visits and searches are expected soon of
the assassins rooms and other places
There are no outward indications of the

BARR's VIGOROUS REPLY.
Answers Attack of John Shelton Will
transformations Allegations.
The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
PORTSMOUTH, Va, February S-The
series of attacks made by Mr.. John Skel-
ton Williams, former president of the Sea-
board Air Line railway, upon Mr. James NJ
Barr of this city the present head of that
system, have drawn from that gentleman a
reply, eouched in vigorous language as
that employed by Mr.. Williams in his at
tacks.
Mr.. Williams charged his successor with
the lnismanagement of the railway proper
ties and Mr.. Barr in return says that Mr.
Williams ordered him to make most of the
moves which are now criticised. The let
ter of Mr.. Barr was not given out to the
press, but was addressed to the individual
stockholders Of the system 1t is in two
parts; one of these refers to the attack
made on him under date of December 10
and the other to that of January II.
The most sensational allegation of all
that are made in the letters is in the lat
ter. He charges that Mr. Williams and his
associates, owners of a majority interest
in the Savannah and Statesboro' railway
and the board of directors of the Seaboard
Air Line railway, voted to guarantee the
bonds of the Savannah and Statesboro'. to
the amount of $fS50D3, on which according
to quoted excerpt from the records of
the Seaboard. they were allowed a commits
of the road.
Mr.. Barr points out that while serving in
the capacity of president of the Seaboard
Air Line railway Mr. Williams was paid
this commission for inducing the said line
to guarantee the bonds of the other road
Referring to the statements of Mr.. Will
Jams that the cost of grade revision as out
lined by Mr.. Barr is excessive the latter
declared that the former president is guilty
either of wilful msstatement Of facts or
else that he is incapable of distinguishing
right from wrong.
Mr.. Barr asserts that he declared in his
remarks on the budget that the income of
the system would not justify reducing the
grades to one per cent except in one in
stance. He charged Mr.. Williams with
carelessness in the building of the Atlanta
and Birmingham line, charging that the
connecting line, the East and West rail-
road, was purchased before the survey of
the remainder of the line could be made
and that Mr. Williams ordered the track
laid without regard to cost, within rea-
sonable limits In his rather hot retort to
Mr.. Williams circular regarding grade re-
visions Mr.. Barr gives him the lie direct.

advocates of this course to make their
hopes good.
In view of the fact that the House passed
tie statehood bill with a large republican
majority making a single state of New
Mexico and Arizona leads advocates of the
measure in that form to believe that they
will eventually win out in the pending fight
by having the House earnestly fight for the
bill in the form in which it was passed by
that body While the House passed it's
bill with large republican majority, they
say, it was passed in the Senate by sim
gle vote, which might have been overcome
had two republican senators. Senators Platt
of New York and Knox of Pennsylvania,
been either paired present
The bill as passed by the Senate had a
vote of 30 to SO. To be sure, after Sena
tor Beyeridge, merely for it's effect on the
parliamentary status of the bill, changed
his vote from no to aye, it made the rec
ord 40 to 81 This, of course, only
done because it was shown by the vote
that thirtynine senators voted aye and
thirtyeight no on the final motion, which
placed the bill in such a position that
further struggling with it was not pos
sible. But when that vote was being
taken a carriage had been dispatched for
Senator Platt of New York, who was at
his hotel, but it was impossible for him
to arrive in the Senate chamber until
half minute after the struggle was all
over
Had he been there the vote would have
been 80 to 80, and the proposition to admit
been defeated. Another vote that was lost
was that of Senator Knox. 1t was under
stood that Senator Knox was paired with
Senator Perkins. but Senator Perkins con-
sideSed that he had right to transfer his
pair and to vote unless a note should be
received from Senator Knox authorizing
him to keep the pair. 1t is said that such
a note was received by Senator Perkins
only after he began voting, and after he
had begun voting on the amendments he
considered it his privilege and duty to con-
tinue voting throughout the consideration
of the bill in order to keep his record
straight.
That left Senator Knox impaired and con-
sequently was loss of a vote on the side
of the bill as approved by the committee.
House Conferees Must Fight.
OF course, the Senate conferees, whoever
they may be, will be obliged to meet the
House conferees advocating the bill as it
was passed by the Senate, just as the House
conferees must fight for the House bill. In
the event that the House conferees make
vigorous fight and the House itself declines
to yield to the Senate amendments there
will be tug of war. The members of the
House will naturally claim that as the bill
was passed by the House with such a large
majority and by the Senate with such
narrow and dubious margin, the House is in
better position than the Senate to con-
tend tor the adoption of it's views
