HAWA|rS STATUS
NOT D|SREGARDED
Left Out Of the Penny Postage
Agreement Because of
Distance.

Hawaii has not been Disseminated
against nor her status misunderstood
by the Postmaster General in the penny
postage agreements with Great Britain,
according to letter received yesterday
by Acting Governor Mott.Smith from
Governor Frear.
The position of the Postoffice Depart
ment in the matter as it was explained
to Goyernor Frear when he had a con-
ference on the subject, was that Hawaii
had been excluded from the operation
of the postal agreement, not because it
was not recognized as Territory or
the United States, but because of the
distance its mails have to be transport
ed to reach the United Kingdom, and
hence that the expense would be greater
than that rate of postage would bear.
The operation of the postal agreement
for this two cent rate was limited to the
United Kingdom and the continer tar
portions of the United States. As no
portions of the British empire outside
of these limits was included in the
operation of the agreement, so no por-
tion of the United States outside these
limits was included.

ternoon, at which he will show the sew
eral pictures which have delighted
packed houses at the Opera Hous. ON
two occasions and which few of
the little ones of the town have had a
chance to see. In addition to the vol
cano pictures and the others of local
scenes and events, he will put on some
especially for the children of happen
ings in fairyland. AT the two pre-.
vious exhibitions given by Mr.. Bonine
the house was sold out days in ad-
vance and it is probable that there
will also be quick demand for the

After argument upon the subject the
petition was dismissed on the morning
of December go on the ground that it
did not appear from the testimony Of
| the petitioners, and in fact that it was
| admitted by them, that they had any
direct knowledge or information con-
corning any one irregularity which
would defeat the election Upon the
evening of the Gath, as the court were
about to adjourn, an attorney for the
petitioners orally requested the court to
hear argument upon the question wheth-
er the statute required thirty qualified
voters in order to sustain a contest
under the statute to have knowledge or
direct information of any one irregu-
larity which, if shown by the evidence,
would invalidate the election. The re-
quest was granted but counsel, although
unnecessarily, have filed motion for
rehearing in which they submit a point
not heretofore presented, namely, that
the court had no authority to examine
the petitioners as to their knowledge or
information of the matters charged in
their petition. Strictly the motion could
be struck from the files but this win
not be done and counsel will be heard
on that new matter.

Alfalfa.

The hay crop that withstood the
great drouth this summer in sew
eral northern states is alfalfa or
lucerne. Wherever it had been
planted IN this section it has grown
to perfection, much better than
clover, but strange to say many of
the colonists, customed to the crop
have not made any, practical ex
pertinent since coming to south
GEORGIA. We will make this offer
to any man who will plant as much
as half an acre if he will properly
prepare his land, seed it at the
right time and give it the attention
that is necessary to make a. crop
in Ohio or Missouri, we will pay
for the labor and seed if the crop
proves a failure. 151-tf

the SLEEPING SICKNESS
WHICH MEANS DEATH

How many readers have heard of this
terrible disease? 1t prevails in that
far-away country-Africa- especially
the Congo district. It is caused by
the bite of the tsetse fly. When it
bites person, the sleeping symptoms
begin and finally the sufferer sleeps
until death occurs.
Contrast this with the peaceful.
balmy sleep of health. Is there any
thing more wearing than to lie awake
at night, tossing about, nervous, with
cold feet, hot head and mercy knows
what else? Short of letting the tsetse
fly bite us we would do almost any
thing for relief. How can we pre-
vent it? Mr.. George Hayes, OF
Union City, Pa, writes: 81 had lost
my appetite, was all rundown, could
not sleep nights. I had tried every
thing without relief. Vinol was rec
commended, and to my surprise, it
helped me at once; gave me a splendid
appetite, and now sleep soundly."
What Vinol did for Mr.. Hayes. 1t will
do for every rundown, nervous and
overworked person who cannot sleep.
