Toys OF LIFE IN HAWAII.
Mosquitoes the Only Flaw-Nos Even
a Servant Problem.

a Servant Problem.
Birds are everywhere in Hawaii.
Their music fills the quiverlng air. One
wonders why we do not all live in this
paradise, where life seems 10 stretch
out before one in long, languid dream
of delight.
Suddenly through your dreaming
ONES rude awakening. The Ha.
waiian mosquito, the one Jaw in the
gem, the only thorn in the garden, has
called to make your acquaintance and
bid you welcome TO his domain.
The houses, with their broad veran.
das filled with palms and flowers and
furnished with tables, chairs, ham
mocks and grass rugs, are a paradise
to the weary traveller. 1t is here that
the Honolulu people enjoy their glo-
rlous climate.
The lawns, thick and velvety as a
carpet were kept in perfect order by
the yard boys, for experienced servants
Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese

problem causes no worry to the house
wife, who has but little anxiety in this
land of plenty.
Everybody seems to take life easily.
The Offices close very early, and no one
seems to know what care Is. The sug-
ar barons, their capital once rightly In
vested, draw their dividends, and the
rest of life is required to spend them.
We stop at the home of our friend, a
bungalow that Is the picture Of COM

Numerous rooms connect with this,

toned ability to discharge faithfully the
duties Of the varions positions for which
they have been nomtpased; the platform
declarations ring clear and there is
every reason for encouragement in the
contest making for needed reforms In
the management Of city affairs.
Who dares to venture the suggestion
that Mike Schenck, Joe Bryson, Elem
Brooks and Mack Rhodes win not "make
goods after their election? Search the
town from center to circumference and
you will not find four men who are
more capable of giving the city . clean
and healthful administration. The pub
lie and private character of each of these
gentlemen is above reproach and there
can be no reason for any loyal democrat
departing the faith in this contest.
Here's hoping for a signal victory for
the democratic ticket on Tuesday, May
7th. United. they will sweep the town;
divided, q different result might be the
ultimate conclusion. Every democrat
to his post and the fight is won.

A vote against the democratic tick,

A vote against the democratic ticket
will be an endorsement of party perfdy
in aendersonville. And this no DEM
ocrat can afford to do. 1t would fur
Their be an admission that the indivi-
dual so doing does not believe the dem
ocratic party capable of giving the city
a satisfactory administration. If there
be those who adhere to the latter prop
osition we refer them, with pleasure, to
every former democratic administration,
to which each unprejudiced mind in
this municipality can point with pride.
AS to those who may be willing to
throw party. loyalty to the wind we can
only say: Forgive them, for they know
not what they do"

When good men who have been afil-
iating with the "citizen" movement
again JOIN hands with the democratic
organization it mean something. Hon.
est, wise men are willing TO acknowledge
their mistakes; the unwise lever Too
much cannot be said in commendation
of the former. If there be those who
r still disposed to stand aloof and
thereby encourage discussions we can
only hope they are honestly mistaken
and that they may yet realize the error
into which they have fallen unawsres.
1t is q constitutional right that every
citizen shall do as he pleases in this free
country, yet it is a difficult proposition
to understand how any man can put the
individual above principle, especially
when the question of character is not
involved. But some things, sometimes

CHAIRMAN SIMMONS TO RE-
TIRE.

Senator Simmons, who has efficiently
served the North Carolina democra-
cy as state chairman since 1898, annOun-
ces that he win retire FROM the latter
position in the early summer. The
news of the Senator's decision TO sur
render the leadership of his party which
he has held With such signal success for
so long q time, will be received with
deep regret in democratic circles
throughout the State. It Is stated that
Mr.. Simmons does not think q United
States Senator should be State Chair
man and this iP given as one reason for
his contemplated action &C this time.
Furthermore We are told that the Sena-
tor t.wishes tosavoid any suspicion OF
favoring one candidate over another In
the coming contest for State officers,
and this fact probably accounts for his
decision Il call q special meeting OF the
committee to act on his resignation, !"
which he contemplates doing At an
early date. Neither of the reasons as
signed, especially the latter, justffies
such q conclusion and the Senator should
hold on t craftsmanship until the next
state convention meets and the new
committee, to be selected at that time
selects q successor. His active duties rs
chairman ceased with the conclusion Of
the campaign last fall and the position
has since been e''functus-oficio." The
chairman will have no other service to
perform except 20 assist in naming the
time and place for holding the next
State convention calling the same 10 or
der and the selection of a temporary
chairman. This Senator Simmons"
can do gracefully, without comprising
the dignity of that exalted position.
Ii is O opinion that Mr.. Simmons
will make a serious mistake TO force the
selection of a new leader Of the demo-
cratic party at this time, when all are
united in following his Leadership. He
ought to remain nc the helm until the
expiration Of the: two years term for
which he was last elected; then decline
q reelection, If he thinks it advisable to
relinquish the Craftsmanship.

Governor Glenn says the publication
that he had declared President Roose-

The Henderson County Twins.

An item which appeared in q recent
issue of this newspaper has attracted
widespread attention and provoked no
little comment. The Raleigh News and
Observer was first to the bat. 1t said:
There is no race suicide in North
Carolina. The Hendersonville Hustler
reports that ''there have been nine sets
of twins born in this community within
the past few weeks"
Then along comes the Columbia SC.
State with the following two-base hit:
"There are many Republicans in Yves
tern North Carolina, but with nIue
cases of twins in Henderson County In
three months the infant industry In
that quarter does not appear to need
national protection"
Commenting upon the Columbia
papers optimistic booming of the baby
industry of our delightful section the
Charlotte News pulls off a three bagRer
in this wise:
From that section of Republicans
and babies we respectfully direct the
admiring attention Of the State to one
home in good old Democratic Mecklen-
burg county, recently blessed with not
only twin babies but twin calves and
twin colts the same day-all Democrats. I"

had taken our seats about a half dozen
dark-faced. bearded men, relatives and
friends OF our host, came in and were in
troduced to u.s.. They were all Arabs.

rug.
After a short time a slave appeared
with a musk melon and a bowl Of ripe
dates, fresh from the trees. We ate them
with our fingers as we watched the man
of the house make the tea. He did this
in an odd way. He first put handful
of green tea in the pot and then bunch
of green mint leaves on top. He now
filled the pot with Jumps OF sugar, which
he broke with a tack hammer. from a
round sugar loaf as hard as rock candy.
He then poured on boiling water from a
kettle brought in by slave and left the
liquor to steep. AS the sugar melted he
added more from the loaf. and now and
then put in more mint, tasting the tea
from time 10 time until he had it just
right He then poured II carefully out
into little wine glasses. seeing that each
guests glass was filled to just the same
height, When all were even he handed
them around. We drank the tea slowly,
chatting as we did so. Our host then
made a second pot and a third, and we
each took three glasses as etiquette pre-
scribes. The mint gave the tea de-
licious flavor. It was not a mint julep,
but a sort Of mint syrup. and on the
whole It was about as good as any tea 1
have tasted. FRANK @. CARPENTER.

Fence Did the Business

A rail fence was the odd ally of Cupid
when Ed Grief kidnapped Miss Ella Francis
from the custody OF her two brothers and
Francis was willing to be kidnapped, Of
course, and the rail fence lent itself cheer
fully to the plot.
Miss Francis lived near Dresden, Tenn,
and her family objected to Grief. They
practically kept her a prisoner. For six
months they never let her 60 anywhere
alone. She threatened to run away and
marry Grief the first chance she got and
they made II the one business OF their lives
to see that she did not get the chance.
One day Mr.. Grief heard that she was
going with her two younger brothers to
visit her uncle in Hyndsver He hurried %
Dresden and procured a marriage license
and then went back and waylaid the road
until he saw tho farm wagon in which his
sweetheart and her brothers were driving.
He came out of the bushes and called upon
them TO halt. Instead of hating, the young
Francis whipped up his mules and dashed
around the bend of the road, only to find
that a six rail. stake and ridered fence had
been built squarely across the public high
way Miss Francis started to climb out
OF the wagon. Her brothers caught her
feet and her lover caught her arms. There
was a tug of war. but Cupid won, and the
lovers struck across the fields 70 the
preachers house, while the boys drove
sadly back home and carried the news.
Mr.. Francis forgave them. 1t was all that
he could do.
