SHOW GOOD RESULTS
Many Essays Treating
On Different
Themes

A large number OF friends and rel
atives filled Kawaiahao church last
night to listen to the graduation eXer-
cises of the girls from the Kawaiahao
Seminary. The class was of a most
cosmopolitan nature and did their work
most creditably.
The Seminary Glee Club furnished
music for the occasion, and added to
this the sweet chorus by the girls made
It all very apprGciative not only to
those present but to many on the out
side who stopped to listen.
The reading of the essays was, OF
course, the most interesting feature.
Miss Emma Liftee discoursed on THE
Worlds Food Supply" She could not
have hit on more interesting subject.
New China was the theme that was
responsible for a couple of strenuous
hours with pen and ink by Miss En-
Nyen Wung, and a very good article
it proved to be. Miss HisayO HilO-
shima dwelt at some length on Retro
spect and Forecast" and was well
worthy of the effort made.
Rev Dodge delivered the address to
the graduates, the nature of which was
moo appropriate to the occasion. He
dwet on the beauty of character and
the beauty OF feature, and explained
Row one outweiehed the other when
tried in the balance.
Taken all in all il was a most de-
lighttul program, and there were many
proud parents in the hall at the close
of the exercises.

Acting Governor Atkinson has re-
ceived a letter of complaint from resi-
dents of North and South Kona in ref

laiwaa They claim that although he
is supposed to represent them, he does
lot even live there but makes his home
with his family in Hilo and has done
so since some time previous to the
election before the last one.
This doesn't look like the right thing
to the Konai'es and although they do
lot suggest what action should be talk
en- they put the matter up to the Gov
ernor and expect him to do something
about it.

GAMBLER AND GROWER.
The Fight That Is Being Waged About
the Price of Cotton.

The Fight That 10 Being Wased About
the Price Of Cotton.
Speaking about brazen robbery:
Spot cotton declined 80 points, oil
$166 a bale, in New York on Monday
or about twenty-one and a half mil
lion dollars on q crop Of 13,OOO,O0l
bales.
What was the reason given?
Because the equinoctial storm die
not do much damage!" That comes
pretty near being the limit of audacity
According to the logic Of this ex-
cuse, for the two weeks preceding the
|autumnal equinox, the price Of cotton
should have advanced, in anticipation
of the dreaded storm. But instead
Of advancing, the SPECTATORS steadily
and consistently depressed cotton dur
ing that period. They forced down the
market price about $3.50 bale.
The day before the equinox, when
storm signals were displayed along the
gulf coast, what happened In New
York? BY every rule Of argument and
consistency cotton should have ad-
vanced: but II went down five points
And on Monday, when the storm pass
ed without damage, the depression
was 80 points more.
That Is q fair sample OF the method
of dealings in New York. There was
as much need for raw cotton on Mon
day as on Saturday. All that there
Is will not be sufficient to meet the
worlds demands. The mills through
out the world are running on full time;
there is an assured market for every
yard Of cloth that is woven. Yet, be-
cause much cotton was not destroyed
the spectators use that as a pretext
to hammer the price still lower.
That method is little better than
highway robbery; the only difference
Is that the farmers have not got to
stand and deliver. II all Of them will
have the nerve to quietly sit and wait
for 20 days they will see cotton climb
back about So a bale.
But to accomplish that great result
the growers must stand together, from
one end Of the cotton belt to the other
And merchants and bankers, and busi-
ness men generally, should dissuade
the small farmer from turning loose
his little crop; and. II possible, help
him to hold 1t for a short while. Ev-
cry bale marketed now weakens the
south. This is the crucial test: the
next few weeks will determine wheth-
er the gambler or the grower shall
win.-The State.

IF the cotton producers will just
put up a good stand pat fight against
the professional gamblers Of the ex-
changes. the professional gamblers
will be licked to a finish. And If the
professional gamblers are once licked
to a finish the spinners will unite with
the producers to run the gamblers out
of business. There is need for the le-
gitimate cotton dealer and there will
always be need for him. Whether act
ing independently or as an employee
Of the spinner he is a necessity, for
without him there would be no way
by which a mill could have assurance
of being able to get any particular
kind Of cotton that 1t might require
But there is no reasonable justification
for the existence Of the exchange spec
ulator. He takes millions out of the
market without giving value received
The tendency Of his influence is to-
ward low prices and to that extent
he hurts the producer and helps the
spinner; but as a matter Of fact he
does not care who he hurts or helps
provided there is a rake Off his way
and common sense and good logic sug-
gest that his complete elimination
would do more than any other one
thing to restore the raw cotton trade
to a legitimate business basis, and
the permanent benefit Of both produc-
er and spinner.

Different Farmers unions recently

Different Farmers unions recently
organized in this county, are reported
to be growing nicely. Organizer
Chandler Is still at work, and Is in
considerable demand in different parts
Of the county.
There 10 no need to bespeak q warm
welcome for the delegates to the meet
ing Of the Woman's Foreign Mission
ary Union of Bethel presbytery In
Yorkville next week Everybody has
had just such a welcome in mind for
some time past and there will be a
spontaneous extension Of 1t upon the
arrival Of the delegates.
Consideration of the notice publish
ed In another column calling for an
election of three trustees for the
Yorkville Graded school district, taken
in connection with that portion OF the
graded school act providing for elec-
tions, and also in connection with the
recent act enlarging the school dis
trict Of Yorkville, suggests q number
Of irregularities and complications.
AS we view the situation, 1t Is doubt
full as to whether, the last Tuesday In
May having gone by without the elec-
tion that should have been held then,
there is any warrant Of law for the Sc
lection Of successors to Messrs. w. ID.
Glenn and o. E Grist at this time.
We are inclined also to the opinion
that the hours for this election should
have been fixed between 8 a. m. and 8
d. m, as they are fixed for other mur
nicipal ele ions, this being a stipula-
tion of the act. There are several other
apparent inconsistencies as between
the original act and the act enlarg1ng
the district. For instance, the original
act contemplated the use of municipal
registration certificates. and these, OF
course, the people living in the annex
ed portion of the district cannot nave.
Also the original act specifies resi-
dence in the town Of Yorkville as
condition precedent to eligibility as a
trustee. This, although a fact, has
little significance other than that the
original act was not revised to con-
form to the last amendment. But not
withstanding these things, there seems
to be no good reason to oppose the
holding Of the election. The election
Of three new trustees will not change
the complexion Of the board, as now
constituted, a consummation desired
by quite q number of patrons; but the
board can be changed that much, and
II the patrons of the school will con-
tinue in the future. to give the AFFAIRS
of the institution as much attention as
they have given it during the past
eight or nine months. they will even
tually succeed in reorganizing 1t to
their complete satisfaction.

AS SMITH SEES 1T.
Fate of Cotton Between Producers and
Spectators.

In an interview given out in Colum-
bia yesterday, Mr.. E. D. Smith ex-
pressed himself as follows:
1.-The most interesting contest in the
history of cotton is now on between
the farmers and the New York spec
ulators," said he, in answer to a ques-
tiOn from your correspondent as to
the falling off in the price of spot
cotton. The price of the manufac-
tured goods Is now based on price
of Is cents or more for the raw ma
terial, and the demand for the cloth
Is unprecedented. The mills, a few
weeks ago, were paying IA to 143
cents without a murmur. The crop Is
unquestionably short, far below the
needs of the trade, while the trade
conditions Of the world are excellent
and the money situation is easy.
Now what has caused the decline?
Certainly no lack of demand for cot
ton. There is no oversupply in sight
No strike or other curtailment OF
spindles. Every mill Is running on full
time. There is no financial stringen-
cy or rumor of international compli-
cations.
Therefore the low price of cotton
means simply that the speculations
entrenched behind a lot Of low grade
cotton held in their warehouses, are
putting the future quotations down
for purely speculative purposes. And
1t is a clean-cut fight between them
and the farmer, merchant and bank
er of the south as to who will win.
IF the people of the south simply
refuse to sell below Is cents the fight
is won. If they put their cotton on
the market at the absurd caprices of
the gambler then all the work of the
different organizations goes for moth
ing"
Mr.. Smith says with the exception
of South Carolina and Georgia and
parts of North Carolina. where the

THE CIRCUS.

Jones's circus Is coming to Yorkville
on Friday October 4, and from what
the advance agent says. 1t will be the
only big show to come this way this
year.
1T Is not the biggest show travel
ing" said Mr.. Rutherford, the advance
man; but still 1t is big show and a
good one.
1--WE are travelling by wagon In the
old time way. The reason Of this Is
because the railroads have made 1t so
expensive for circuses, that but few
of them are able to travel by rail. The
rate, in fact, has been made practical
ly prohibitive. This, the railroads
claim, Is because the hauling Of cir
cuses subject them to too many ex-
pensive accidents.
"But l would not have you think
that our show is a little bit Of an af-
fair" Mr.. Rutherford went on to say.
ut is a good show, all right In size,
display and performance and you will
find that it will measure up in every
way to the standards Of the shows
that used to give you so much pleas
ure when you were boy"
