first time. This cane surf-rlding was
described by Miss Alice Roosevelt,
on her first visit to Honolulu, as the
finest sport she had ever known, and
much of the time Of her later honey
moon sojourn in Honolulu was given
to 1t.
The other surf-ridlng is by swim
mers. 1t requires considerable prac-
tice. There are many Hawaiians who
can swim with a small board out to
where the waves form and ride in
on the board, just as others are car
ried in by canoe. Frequently they
ride standing erect on the crest of
a wave, ON their little board. Many
whites also have mastered the art,
and it is as thrilling and exhilerat-
ing a sport as could be enjoyed.
Recently the "Outrigger Club" was
formed in Honolulu as an organiza-
ton devoted to these sports. 1t
started with a large membership Of
leading citizens, and has acquired a
club house on the beach, where 1t
will maintain canoes, boards, etc.,
and it will have the effect of reviv-
ing and encouraging the surf-ridlpg
sport. There are few days on which
the waves are not satisfactory for
surf-riding, the water Is always
warm, and parties of ladies and gen.
tlemen frequently spend hours in
riding back and forth The rowing
out to sea and the skill required for
so manipulating the canoe as best
to catch a wave, furnish exercise,
and interest aside from the thrilling
shoot inhsore after a wave has been
caught"
Sea bathing is enjoyed in Hawaii
the year round. The water is never
uncomfortably cold and there are
many splendid beaches, the most fam.
Gus one being at Waikiki, between
Diamond Head and Honolulu. On
Sundays especially there are usually
large crowds at this beach, and
swimming, diving, water polo and
other sports are enjoyed. A public
bathing place is a recent addition
to the beach facilities. 1t is a part
OF the big Kapiolani park, just under
Diamond Head. The beach when &C
quired for the public was somewhat
rocky, but the sharp coral was blast
ed out, and now there is a fine sand!

Governor Noel Issues His
Thanksgiving Proclamation

Jackson Miss. November 19.-Gov.
Noel this morning issued his formal
Thanksgiving proclamation, as fol-
lows:
Proclamation by the Governor.
State of Mississippi
The setting apart of day in each
year for general Thanksgiving is hon
ored by ancient custom, and sanction
ed by federal and state laws. The
president of the United States, in con-
formity with custom and law, has
designated the fourth Thursday in
November, the 26th inst, as "a day
of prayer and of thanksgiving to God"
The rapid advance of Mississippi in
population, in agricultural and in in
dustrial development, and in other diff
ferent lines of material prosperity.
suffered, comparatively, but small
check through the recent and receding
financial depression. While tornadoes
and overfiows brought to some COM
munltles death and devastation, close
ly following came the affectionate
sympathy and prompt help of the cit
izenship of our own and other states
and of the federal government, prov
ing that we have, in living reality, a
truly reunited country. Our recent
legislature prescribed outlawry against
two of the greatest crime-breeders
with which our state was accursed-
bucketshop gambling and the open sa-
looms. The former has become wholly
a thing of the past, and legalized
liquor traffic in Mississippi forever
ends with next month, now having but
few points of existence. Our educa-
tional, charitable and eleemosynary
institutions and the Old Soldiers

A Merited Protest.

The Hattiesburg Retail Merchants
Association deserves the cordial sup
port of the people of the city in its
the Mississippi Central railroad be-
tween Hattiesburg and Brookhayen.
AS the trains now run the trade
of the prosperous towns west of the
city, which has long been regarded
as one of the best feeders to the
trade of local merchants, is gradually
falling off-and it will be lost alto
gether unless better schedules can be
secured.
When citizens of Sumrall. Prentiss,
Silver Creek, Bassfeld and other
towns along the Mississippi Central
come to Hattiesburg to do their trad
ing they naturally want to return the
same day, else they would be inclined
to go to Brookhaven or Natchez.
While The News has no desire to
antagonize the Mississippi Central
Railroad, which all Hattiesburgans re-
gard largely as a home institution
we believe that the officials of that
road will realize the injustice they
are doing the city and take prompt
steps to correct their mistake.
The action of the Retail Merchants
Association is a merited protest.

ELECTRIC RAILROAD
ALONG GULF COAST

Gulfport, Miss, November 10
When Captain j. T. Jones was seen
concerning the extension of the Gulf
port and Mississippi Coast Traction
Company's line from Gulfport into
Pass Christian, he admitted there was
truth in the statement, and said that
the company now contemplated put
ting into completion the original plan
of two years ago. That is, of extend
ing the line from the present west
ern terminus of Gulfport into Pass
Christian as far as the Mexican Gulf
Hotel and to the Louisville and Nash
vile Railrod Company's depot. This,
with an electric lighting plant, will
be installed at Pass Christian similar
to others DIN the coast. as soon as the
franchise is obtained. Captain Jones
estimated the cost at about 100000
and anticipated having the line into
Pass Christian within one year. Con-
corning the other line which has been
several times built on paper out of

DR.. Mayer Surprised.

DR.. Fred j. Mayer. who is making a
tour of Mississippi for the State Board
of Health, and who lectures at the
county court house tonight, admits
that Hattiesburg was the most pleas
ant surprise that he has encountered
in long time.
Despite the fact that he has lived
in the neighboring state of Louisiana
nearly all of his life, this is his first
visit to the metropolis of South Mis-
sissippi-and he frankly confesses
that he expected to find struggling
country town of two or three thou
sand population.
But. instead
We'll, | could hardly believe it,"
he said, when I saw your splendid
buildings, your handsome stores,
banks and public buildings, and
learned that Hattiesburg was really
one of the big towns of Mississippi
with nearly $4,000 population. 1t is
wonderful"
And DR.. Mayer will continue to
speak a good word for Hattiesburg,
because Hattiesburgans gave him a
cordial reception. His address at the
college, his talks in the schools and
the message which he delivered to
Hattiesburg mothers this evening-not
to mention what he said to the doc
tors of the city last night-were worth
hearing.
Hattiesburgans appreciate the work
which he is doing.
And those who have not already
heard him should attend the free lee
ture at the court house tonight.

FISHING PARTY
INVITES TEDDY

The following prominent citizens
and lovers of outdoor sports left this

petition: A. Farley, Chas. Pool, j. F.
Williams, M. ]. Farley, C. w. Cum
ningham M. ]. McGrath, Angus Fair
ley, R. s. Ellis, J. F. Bennett and ]. J.

The party anticipates ten full days
of jolification with the game of Pas

there will be little need for a game
warden in that locality.
Before leaving wireless telegram
was sent to President Roosevelt to
meet them in his private launch at
the mouth of Black river and join in
the festivities. The president wired
his regrets of being unable to join
them on this occasion as he is making
preparations for lion hunt in Africa.

Home are more efficient and commo-
dious than ever before. The virtue
and intelligence of the superior race
make and execute all of our state
laws. Crime is decreasing and our
courts are becoming more efficient
through the spiritual and intellectual
growth of our people. Success and
failure. in varying degrees, come to
all, vicissitudes of fortune being one
of the incidents of human life. The
good that has come to our state and
to it's people, and that in reasonable
prospect, infinitely outweighs all evils
suffered or threatened. We are and
have been free from pestilence, do
nestle strife, and foreign wars.
These and many other considera-
lions impel me to cordially command
the full and faithful observance of
Thanksgiving day, by remembering
and helping the widow, the orphan and
all others stricken with grievous ad-
versity; and by assembling in our re-
spective places of worship and,
through songs, prayer and discourse,
expressing heartfelt thanks unto the
"One God and Father of all" from
whom comes "every good and every

In witness whereof 1 have hereunto

farming operations largely on cotton
will never be able to become indie
pendent. He will always be a slave
to the credit system. Practically
every farmer in the South knows this
to be true, and why larger majority
OF them do not adopt more extended
system of Giversification . is one of
The unexplainable things of the times"
1t may be said with added emphasis
that no farmer can ever hope to be
independent until he cuts aloose from
the present farming system. The trou-
BILE is that the landlord and the mer-
chant both want the tenant to raise
cotton, for it pays the rent and the
merchant wants to sell everything
that is consumed on the farm and
take his pay in cotton.
Against all these odds the farmer
has to contend, and yet they are grad
ually emerging from the ruinous prac-
tice, and it is sincerely to be hoped
that it will not be many years until
the corn-cribs and smokehouses of
Mississippi are filed at home and
cotton is produced only as a surplus
crop. Then we may expect to see
the farmer independent and the agri-
cultural interests of Mississippi prop
erly developed.
