rwo PORTRAITS OF TmLMAN
One is for Clemson College and One.
for Winthrop. 81 H
(From the columbia State. )

(From the Columbia State.)
Two life size portraits of Senator
Tilman are nearing completion and
are about to be shipped to South Car
olina. The artist is Miss Clara Bar
rett-Strait, who painted several of the
portraits at the South Carolina Uni
yersity. One of these portraits is for
Winthrop and the other for Clemson
College. The first painted is to take
the place of the one now in the front
parlor OF Winthrop and which, the
Senator Gays, is a "monstrosity'' for
which he is not longer willing to
stand. He employed Miss Barrett
Strait,accordingly to get up one not
quite so monstrous. This she has sue
ceeiei in doing and the portrait,
made the same size as the one now at
Winthrop, will be shipped some time
within the next week or ten days.
The senator liked 1t so well that he
decided to have another pain. ed to
be presented to Clemson. The sec
ond one is now about finished. Both
of them are in the Senator's commit
tee room of the Five Civilized Tribes,
IS Barrett-Strait is adding
rthe last touches.
1t was intended that the two faces
should be exactly alike, although the
position of the hands is slightly diff
ferent. The senator never has his
hands in the same place for long.
This, however, Is also true of his face.
which is scarcely the same twice. SO
that in very truth to look at the two
pictures side by side one can dete It
a decided difference of expression.
There is something about the Win
throp picture which imparts more
benignance, or as some would doubt
less prefer to put it, less malignance.
The Clemson picture is a little more
stern looking, the we'll known fierce
look OF the Senator coming out lit
tie sterner. Miss ,Barrett-Strait says
this is fit and proper, for the Senator
ought to look somewhat stern when
he faces the boys at Clemson, while
at the girls he should look beaming-
ly In very truth there is not much
difference, but there is enough to give
color and correctness to this import
ant adaptation of the plastic counte-
nance to the character of the be-
! holders,

Tired nerves, with that mo ambi-
ton" feeling that Is commonly felt In
spring or early summer can be easily
and quickly altered BY taking what
is known to druggists everywhere ya5
DR.. Shoop's Restorative. One will
absolutely note changed feeling In
4S hours after beginning to take the
Restorative. The bowels set sluggish
in the winter time, the. circulation
often slows up, the kidneys are inac-
tive, and even the heart in many in
stances grows decidedly weaker. Dr..
Shoop's Restorative is recognized
everywhere as a genuine tonic to
these vital organs. 1t builds up and
strengthens the worn-out, weakened
nerves; it sharpens the failing appe-
tite and universally aids digestion.
1t always quickly brings renewed
strength, life, vigor and ambition.

vas at first supposed.
The department of the Gulf is ac-
tive in relief measures and sent offi-
GERS to several points to report on
the situation.
The Southern Georgia and North
Florida floods are threatening towns
and villages along the Chattahoo-
ichee and Flint rivers, which are re-
ported to be well above flood stages.
The weather bureau to-day sent
out flood warnings for these sections.
Governor Noel, of Mississippi. to-
day asked the department of the Gulf
for $50 tents to be sent to Jaskson,
Miss, $50 to Natchez, and Hfty to

asked that SO tents be sent to tho
chairman of the New Orleans relief
committee for distribution. This re-
Quest was complied with.
Capt. Clark, chief commissary, has
reported to the department after a

mated 100000, and that 200 per-
sons would have to be fed for thirty
days.

"The fact that ties can be manufac

Coast, and manufactured and sold 10.
cally to successfully compete with the
heretofore cheap lumber of the Pacific
Coast again brings to the front the
subject which has been so frequently
urged upon the sugar plantations that
one of the greatest economies which
they can practice is to plant trees for
railroad ties, fence posts and frewood.
There are but few plantations left
so located that natural forest supply
can be relied upon for these purposes.
Even where natural forest is still avail
able therefor, the supply is so limited
that very few years will end the sup
ply.
"More and more the sugar planta-
tion managers are recognizing this fact,
and the last year has seen a constantly
increasing number who are taking ad-
vantage of the offer of the Forestry
Department of the local government to
furnish foresting plans and recommen-
dations and send an expert on to the
ground to lay out and advise concern
ing the location and character of nur-
series, kinds of trees to be planted and
location of planting grounds.
In this connection the writer was,
many years ago, greatly impressed with
the results obtained on the Lihue plan
tatiOn by blowing up land and cultivat-
ing a planted forest area as compared
with the simple holing and planting
of trees and leaving them to their fate
1.-The rapidity of growth and the
thrift of the cultivated trees as COM
pared to the others was most striking.
A couple e-of years ago the writer
suggested to Mr.. Louis Won Tempsky,
manager of the Haleakala ranch, to try
the experiment there. Mr.. Won Temp
sky, who is an enthusiastic tree-planter,
followed the suggestion, and has achiev-
ed remarkable results, which are best
set forth in his own language. The fol-
lowing is his report of the results:

NATURE MAN
WAS TOUCHED
Tent Rifled, but Goods Are Now
Safe In Hands of the
Police.

Yesterday Kaluna, a Hawaiian, found
himself at the station house because
he and his wife had had quarrel about
stolen property and third party over
heard it. The stolen property is re
covered, the alleged thief is in jail, the
owner of the property, tourist, is hap
py once more, and the police are able
to trace a red line through one of the
mysterious items on their records.
On October Is, an aged man named
John Gray, who is something of q
"close- to-nature man, came here. He
wanted to live in the open, so he pitch
ed small tent on the ridge back OF
Punchbowl, and there he cached lot
of canned provisions and other edibles
His few possessions, books and valu
ables, were also kept in the tent. One
day he came to town and went to the
postoffice and was absent several hours
On his return he found his tent ran
sacked, provisions scattered over the
ground, and everything rummaged. He
reported his loss to the police. Among
the items was a small black case for
holding bills, the kind issued by ThosD
Cook 6 Sons, the tourist agents. Two
$50 checks issued by Cook & Sons, were
in this book. A large book was another
item on the loss list.
Occasionally the old man visited the
police station but was met with the
same response, "Nothin' doin'." On
Tuesday Mr.. Gray went there again
and implored the detectives to get busy.
Then Chief Kalakiela sent man up
on Punchbowl to look over the site OF
the tent The officer met an old native
there and asked if he remembered the
tent and its occupant. He did. He had
been the nearest neighbor. He also re-
membered some Hawaiians passing the
place one morning when the old man
was absent. Upon being further ques-
toned and told that the haoie had lost
some money in bills and some books,
the old man said he remembered visit
ing recently house on Punchbowl and
having overheard a Hawaiian and his
wife guarrelling over something ana
they had mentioned money in bills and
a book He remembered they said some
thing about two checks. He had gone
into the house and remembered there
was large book which looked like
Bible.
The result of this interview was re-
ported at headquarters and detective
Luahiwa was detailed to look up the
quarrelling husband and wife. The old
man from Punchbowl was requisitioned
and the house located. After consid-
erable investigation the missing Thos.
Cook case with the two $50 checks in
tact was brought to light together with
the book which looked like a Bible,
but which in reality was "Dr. Chase's
Receipts and Information for Every
body" They were in the possession
Of a woman named Kalua, to whom
Kaluna and his wife had given them
for safekeeping.
The police learned that an effort had
been made to pass the checks but with
out success. and that was one of the
reasons Ka1una and his wife quarrelled
and that incident led to Kaluna s ar
rest

This resolution was passed unani
1rously at the afternoon session yes5er
day of the Planters Association, after
a discussion of the subject of forestry
among the members and the presen.
tation of two papers on the subject
one BY L. A. ThUrston, the other by
r. 8. Hcsmer, Territorial Forester.
The session yesterday afternoon was
short but of decided interest. 1t was
opened with the presentation of the
following report by Mr.. Thurston:
Report on Forestry.
~'To F. A. Sehaefer, President, Ha-
waiian Sugar Planters Associa-
tiOn.
"Sir-There has been no radical
change or development in forestry con-
ditions in the Hawaiian Islands during
the past year.
"The most notable event has been
the beginning of operations by the Ha-
waiian Mahogany Lumber Company,
Limited, in the production and export
of ohia ties, in filling the order for
100000 ties contracted to be delivered
TO the Santa Fe railroad.
GA large sawmill has been erected
at Pahoa. in the district of Puma and
Island of Hawaii, and operations were
begun there late in September last. The
first shipment, of approximately 10000
ties, is now being loaded on the Emily
+. Whitney at Hilo.
Utilizing Waste.
''There is a very large waste in MAX
ing ties, which the lumber company is
endeavoring to utilize in by-products.
Hardwood boards and battens to con-
siderable amount have been incidental
ly produced, and a shipment of $4,000
feet was sent to San Francisco On the
last Enterprise 1t is believed that a
market for a considerable amount of
by-produet lumber of this nature can
be found, both here and at the Coast.
TfThe chief drawback to this lumber
rs its tendency to warp; but it is be-
lieved that by piling and curing the
same under proper conditions this dIth-
Guilty can be obviated.
The ohia lumber is so hard and tough
that it is believed that it can be used
10 good advantage as flooring and sid
ing for cane ears which, when made of
DouSldS HTs wear oul IaPlulg. Ahc SoAiA
pany will soon have stock enough on
hand to furnish this lumber to those
desiring to try it.
''The company is also taking steps to
produce telephone pins and brackets
from other portions of the waste lum-
ber, there being a large demand for this
on the mainland.
Ties for Island Use.
fEIncidental to the manufacture of
ties for the Santa Fe contract, the COM
pany is also producing from the smaller
timber ties for local use, at prices which
compete with redwood ties, while being
