were induced to do this by the failure
of the market to decline In response
to the continuance of fine weather and
good crop accounts, and the continued
strength of the Southern spot mar
kets In the face Of the dullness Of the
speculation and poor trade reports from
Germany and Manchester

position than the large spot dealers

traders and few local operators, the

HAWAII COUNTY IS
PLUNG|NG INTO DEBT

HILO, Hawaii, September 3.-The
County of Hawaii will probably be in
debt to the extent of 100000 by the
end of the year, according to a state
ment made today by Supervisor Ship
man of Kau, who is one of two on the
board who began by fighting the gross
extravaganees favored by the majority,
but who has long since thrown up his
hands, unable to check the rapid back
sliding of the county into the bank
ruptey stage.
By a recent distribution of tax
funds, this county came into 100000
and the deficits were met in a manner
and the most pressing liabilities paid,
leaving some $4,000 in the treasury
at present. But, now, the majority of
the board, the Home Rulers helped by
the one Republican, Supervisor Supe,
have cut loose and from now on until
after the elections it is probable that
nothing will be considered but a wide
scramble for votes. By putting in new
road supervisors and making them re-
sponsible to none of the individual SUI
pervisors, but the board itself, all local
restraint in expense is taken off, and
from now on the road laborer is to be
not only worthy of his hire, but worthy
of being treated like man with
vote.
Everything will go now," said Mr..
''and it would not surprise
me in the least if the County of Ha
wall has to begin the coming year with
a debt to meet of hundred thousand
dollars

OUR RICH MEN AND CHARITY.
Honolulu, Aug. II, 1908.

Honolulu, Aug. IL, 1908.
Editor Advertiser: [ have read Mr..
George P Castle IS suggestion that the
rich give fifty per cent. of their income
to charity and that the funds, thus
collected, be divided among the various
charitable institutions of the city; and
think it a grand idea, but impossible
of application or realization.
In the first place no one likes to
disclose the state of his finance, or the
amount of his income, and therefore,
this proposition, as it stands, does not
appeal to them. But, L think, the idea
is too good to lose sight of, and though
do not think that the rich would give
that amount, or fifty per cent. of their
income, I feel sure that they would
give large amounts if approached in
the right way. I will also say that it
is found that a general appeal has but
very little effect, while personal APP
peal has proved most fruitful. There.
fore, 7 propose that a committee be
formed of such men as are interested
in this matter, and that they be author
lied to devise means for collecting
funds for this most praiseworthy sub
iect. This committee could write out
a subscription list beginning with names
of the wealthiest people in the Terri
tory and gradually inserting the names
of those less rich until all the names
of those that have any means at all
are mentioned And each and every
one of these persons should be seen
personally and urged to give such
amounts as they feel able to give.
T would ok cauI 1a+4opc ~ +boSa
who cannot be met. or seen person
ally. Letters too could be sent to all
the plantation managers, engineers,
sugar boilers. chemist, overseers and to
others, and I feel sure that not one
would refuse to give something to-
wards so worthy a cause.
Very truly.
