Just think what this baseball bat.
lloting contest is doing for tho cause
OF art! Verses are coming In very
fast some of them good ones, too.
The Exile again bursts forth In song,
classical gong, too, with Latin title:
Pnlmnm Out Meruit Fernt.
Great heights are never won by acci-
dent,
Nor are great ends achieved by goee
intent.
Palmam qui meruit ferat--let us give
Tho palm not to the man who hard
doth strive,
But to that one who doth accomplish
things;
To him who helps to win the game of
Hence let us who in stand or bleacn-
ers sit
Give laurels to the fellow who can hit.
So. by the votes OF others undismayed,
I gladly give to Messitt my poor aid.
THE EXILE.
Pottsville Pa, July 81, 1905.
This poem of the Exile's was en-
closed In a very pretty hand-painted
envelope which will be reproduced as
a heading to the balloting story to-
morrow. The Exile Is certainly an ar
dent Messitt admirer, and OF that there
is no doubt.
Revelle also has poetic admirers and
here are two Revelle verses, which
will serve as samples of how great
source of Inspiration Dutch's" smile
can be. Both OF these are partner

not q man whom any one would think has

to the embarrassment caused in the

fabrication originating in a certain section of

We are indebted TO the courtesy Of Mr..
Lightbourn and Captain Swift of the British
steamer Eva, which arrived at st. Thomas
from Newport News on Friday the 18th inst.
with a large cargo of coal for the Hamburg
American Line, for a copy of some entries
from the ships log relating to the recent
heavy storm to the north of us, from which
the hor0n0 also suffered. We hope to give
the extract, with some remarks on weather
questions, IN our next.
We owe to the kindness of the Admins
traitor of the Plantation Company M oppor-
tunity of seeing the present condition Of the
Company's estates on the north coast La
Vallee, Rust up Twist &c. From the Mount
Eagle ridge a spur COMES down to the shore
Mt La Vallee, dividing the coast slope
there into two fine valleys, the eastern Que
being that III which the estates Rust up
Twist, La Vall6e, Belvedere &c. are situated
the western one having the estates Cane Bay
North Star, Prosperity &c. These groups
of properties, fertile by nature, have gone
through some remarkable vicissitudes. In the
old slavery days they were fully cultivated.
Somewhere about thirty years ago, the pres
ent writer, standing on the road at Cane Buy
and looking Up ut the fine hill known rs Mt.
Eagle, was addressed by an Old man who
was walking around. The conversation that
followed turned on the old days, for the
man had been q slave. He remembered, he
said, the time when the mountain was plant
ed with cane all the way to the summit.
Asked whether it was likely we should ever
see that again, he said he hoped not.
Replying to a surprised 'Why?', he answer
ed solemnly " No Massa, I don't think, if we
behave properly, that God would ever let
that happen. "But would it not be a good
thing?" "Ah Massa, you don't Know what
the work is up there, why there are stones
there as big as q house,. 1t turned out
that the old man was thinking of slavery
times, and meant that such work would
never be done unless slavery was restored.
The writer told him that such q thing was,
of course, impossible. "But suppose that
sugar came to be so valuable that people
would pay labourers to put that hill side
into cane again. The old man burst out
into a loud and long continued laugh. The
thought was evidently too funny for him.
Well, it would certainly be a marvel if the
old man should ever turn out to be wrong
nevertheless a good part of the hill has been
cleared by the Plantation Company; but it is
not for canes, it is for guinea grass, and the
Administrator is confident it will pay.
But to return to the vicissitudes of the
district. When the present writer came here
thirty five years ago be found 1T still
in sugar cultivation. This cultivation had re-
