reason that japanese were really the

Investigation here shows that only a
limited amount Of fertilization work Is

line should be drawn on account of
the nationality Of those who are to do
this work, the nature Of which cannot
be concealed. 30 that they would not
hesitate before they decided the low

The principal work now on hand In
Hawaii consists In the construction OF
two sets OF mortar batteries, for which
congress has specifically appropriated
$300,000. One OF the batteries is To-
Gated at Diamond Head. the great
promontory commanding the entrance
to the harbor at Honolulu, and the
other on tho point at the entrance to
Pearl hurbor.
In addition TO these large works
there arc some rifle gun einplacementa

much complaint, not only here but
throughout the State about messen-

The company has a rule whish rn-

this generally ,lisregarded, but messen.
gers are constantly collecting nr at
tempting to collect from the corsignoe
even when the packages are SO

visitors to Columbia it looks rs if
there is hardly a county in the State
where the express company's patrons
do not suffer from this sort Of thing.
The matter has been called to the
attention OF the railroad commission.
and Commissioner Sullivan says the
commission will take prompt action
II 1t can get at the facts individuals
seldom lose enough to make a forma!
complaint to the commission worth
while, but the commission will well
