Tn Memory of A. NJ. Blakesley

The following tribute to the late Augustus M. Blakesley appeared up- on the weekly bulletin of the Second Congregational church yesterday: o brother, firm and gentle, strong
 and sweet,
 Who but an hour ago was at our
 side,
 Our gracious comforter and win
 ming guide, Thy heart with loving sentiment re-
 plete, To-day We miss thee from thy
 wonted seat, For thou has passed beyond the
 mist-veiled tide, Whose sullen waves from heaven
 ly joys divide, To that fair land where Christ the
 soul doth greet. Long hast thou served thy God and
 fellow-man, Standing for truth, integrity and
 peace,
 With sunshine brightening many a darkened way, And as by faith celestial heights we
 scan,
 Our bitter tears for thy departure cease,
 For thou the crown of life dos. wear to-day.

PROF. KOEBELE
IS COMING BACK
Announcement Made at Meet
ing of the Board of
Agriculture.

It was announced at the meeting of
the Board of Agriculture and Forestry
which was held yesterday afternoon,
that Prof tKoebele, who is now in
Mexico in behalf of the board, will very
likely leave there soon and come to
Hawaii. 1t is now about two years
since Prof. Koebele was in Hawaii, but
in the meanwhile he has done an i'm
mense amount of work in entomolog-
ical work of value to the Territory.
This announcement came in connec-
ton with a request from the Honolulu
Improvement Advisory Board urging
that in view of the damage already
done by the Maui Blight" (Orthesia
insignfs1 and of the liability of it to
spread to other plants than it now at
tacks, the Board of Agriculture and
Forestry take the necessary steps to
secure the natural enemies of the
blight that they may be propagated
and distributed throughout the Terri
tory.
w. NJ. Giffard said that Prof. Koe-
belle had told him that the natural
enemies of the orthesia existed in Mex
leo and that whenever they were want
ed they could be procured. If however
the board determined to secure them
right away, it might not be possible
to get the instructions TO Prof. Koebele
in time to enable him to secure them

THE KAHULU|
BREAKWATER
Big Work Almost Completed
for the Third Port of the
Territory.

The work which is now practically
completed, in the building of a break
water which has made KahuIui a safe
anchorage for ships of any size is
probably one of the most important
undertakings ever accomplished in this
Territory by private enterprise. Ka.
hului is the third port in the islands
in Importance and until recently the
vessels of the Observation-Disclosures
steamship company and the ships
which go to that point to discharge
cargo, were compelled to lie far out
from the wharves and even then if the
sea commenced to be rough, would be
forced to pull up their anchors and
move farther out
Under the present circumstances the
vessels may come within a couple of
hundred yards of the wharf and the
sugar with which they are to be load
may De taken out to them on lighters
at comparatively small expense and
in smooth water In the same way
the big cargoes of freight which are
brought for use on the plantations in
that section may be landed with ease.
Practically the entire waterfront at
Kahului belongs to the Kahului rail-
road, which is controlled by H P.
Baldwin, and to him is due the work
which has meant the spending of up
wards of 100000 and which has made
the harbor one to which the captains

FREE LABOR IS
THE SOLUTION
Judge Dole Praises McBryde Plan of Settling
Land With Independent Farmers

In connection with the campaign
being carried on by the Advertiser for
the settlsment of American farmers
here, upon which I desire to eompli-
ment your paper, would it not be a
: good proposal to suggest whether the
Bishop Estate, which has vast lands
and interests throughout the islands,
would not find it to their interest to
also encourage the settlement of their
lands by Americans?' said Judge San
ford B. Dole yesterday. "The opening
up of North and South Kona by the
Castles and the promise of a railroad
through those districts affords a great
opportunity for settlers and particular
ly for the Bishop Estate, which has a
transformed into American homes. I
don't think. that the bringing in of
Americans from the mainland would
be to the prejudice of the American
Hawaiians in any way, but would aid
in stirring them up to also get
back to the land. The Hawaiian is
most susceptible to what is going on
around him and good example of en-
ergy and thrift would inspire him
along the right lines 1 rather think
that J. B. Castle, in opening up his
lands in Koolaupoko and Koolauloa,
expects to do something in the way
of bringing in settlers.
CT do not think that the scheme of
settling plantation 1aborers on fee sim
pie title sugar lands with the expecta-
tion of having them raise cane for the
plantations is practicable one The

McBryde plantation people have, to
my mind, solved the problem of settling
laborers for the sugar plantations.
"Their plan, in brief, is this: The
laborers are settled on government land
lying in the midst of their plantation
lands, taking it up on homestead en-
tries. The plantation has loaned them
money for the building of their houses
or has built their houses for them on
a good safe basis of security, taking
mortgages with the consent of the
recently and there were houses going
up on every hand. Some of the lots
are big ones, from ten to twenty acres,
and there is water laid on every lot,
although it may not be needed for irri-
CATION.
"The settlers on this land are nearly
Spaniards, and the men are taking up
their homes there without being under
obligation to do one days work on the
plantation, not single day unless they
want to. They are absolutely free of
any obligation, but are working just
the same to increase their income: They
are planting pineapples on their land
and the plantation has built a large
and up-to-date cannery to handle the
fruit for them.
E'The plantation estimates that when
this land is all settled they will have
between seven hundred and eight hun
dred laborers available for the planta-

Johnston, s. c., March 81, 19O8.-
Editor Of the Anderson Intelligencer,
Anderson, s. c.: Dear Mr.. Editor
We have been informed that Court
Stenographer M. G. Long will be in
the race for Solicitor of the Tenth
Judicial Circuit this summer, aud
we, the undersigned citizens, of
Johnston. S. c., the boyhood ,ome
know of him personally.
Mr.. Long was born and reared on
farm four miles from Johnston.
His father, J. M. Long, was murder
ed by negro when he was in his
fifteenth year, leaving a widow and
two orphan children, the step-mo-
ther, half-brother and half-sister of
M. G. Long, the children then be-
ing four and six years Of age. After
the debts Of j. M. Long were paid,
even his own home was sold from
under his widow and children, leav-
ing only one horse to them. M. c..
Long, then a boy, took that one
horse, rented land, gave liens over
his crops, and with the aid of his
brother, supported his step-mother
and her children for four years, until
she married again, and then he took
the two children to support and edu-
cate. and gave the last one a college
education in May, 1907.
We know nothing of Mr.. Longs
ability as a lawyer, he having been
admitted to the bar after leaving
here, hut think his past history will
bear us out In saying he is a man
who will stand for the right principle
in all things, and If he is eletced, we

AIKEN FOR PUBLIC BUILDING.
Looking After Interests of Ncwberry
and Anderson's Post Offices.

Washington, April 2.--Represen-
tative Wyatt Aiken, Of South Caro-
lima, has been working necessarily
in behalf o: an appropriation carry
ing $oG,h00 for post Office building
at Newberry, and hopes also to Sc
cure at least an additional $4,000
for the building at Anderson. In
view of the rapid strides of the pro-
gressive city of Anderson, Congress-
man Aiken, In a personal interview
with Supervising Archi, ect Knox
Taylor, of the Treasury, easily con-
vinced him that an additional ap-
preparation should be allowed for the
erection Of a public building that will
do justice to the pride Of that city,
SO that Mr.. Taylor has recommended
for the Anderson building an addi-
tional appropriation of $4,000. Mr..
Aiken entertains the hope Of being
able to still further increase that by
do everything he possibly can to gain
this amount for his people.
Among other successful under
takings Mr.. Aiken has put through
this session was his recent victory
with three pension cases which he
fought out determinedly before the
committee. The case of Chas. A..
Tribble, Newberry, was granted at
the rate OF SO per month, while in
the instance Of Mrs. Martha Ann
Pruett and Mrs. Lucy Tucker Catlett,
Doth of Anderson, an increase was
obtained from SO to $12 per month.
Mr. Aiken had an especially stiff
fight in all three OF these cases,
which was brought on partly because
they were turned down" by the last
committee before whom they had
been prosecuted.

SUCCESSFUL UNION MEETING.
Beaverdam Association Held Well
Attended and Interesting Session.

The union meeting OF Beaverdam
Association, which met with South
Union church on the 28th and 29th
of March, was thought to be the
best union we have had in several
years.
= South Union did her part we'll in
providing for and taking care of the
union, which was largely attended,
and we feel sure they have the
thanks and kind feelings of those
they SO generously provided for.
The program was successfully car
ried out by the following speakers:
Revs. J. r.. Moore, L. T. Weldon, J.
H. Stone, L. M. LYDIA, A. p. Marett
and c. l.. Craig: Laymen, Hon. J. b.
Boggs, G. R. D. Burns, w. N. Bruce,
]. B. Harris and w. H. Cole.
The subject of Christian education
was first on the program. ]. r..
Moore, l.. 7. Weldon and Hon. j. e.
Boggs were the principal speakers.
They spoke In favor Of an endow-
ment fund for Furman University
and Greenville Female College. They
thought the college essential to the
prosperity Of the Baptists of South
Carolina, and should be put on a
sound basis. We trust the churches
Of our association will do their part
In this good work.
After prayer by Rev. l. II. Weldon
for divine blessings on our efforts
the subject was passed. The speeches
on all the subjects were fine.
The last subject discussed, which
deserves special mention, was the
Success and Needs of our Mission
Work" The speakers aroused a feel
ing of anxiety for the spreading Of
the Masters kingdom, and it Is prob
able those who heard the talks will
pray with more feeling, "Thy king
dom come"
The spirituality of the meeting
was good. We think such meetings
are productive Of much good. On
next fifth Sunday the union will give
way for the Sunday School Conven-
ton, which will be held with Return

The gathering place of the celebrated
Mermaid club, the origin Of which is
ascr1bed to Sir Walter Raleigh. The
Mermaid tavern was located in Bread

three thoroughfares, so that it has
been often referred to. in various WAYS.
The Mermaid in Bread street, the Mer.
maid In Friday street and the Mermaid
| Cheap street were, however, all one
and the same. It was the nearest to
Bread street. The Mermaid was de-

were other Mermaid taverns, one in

they had no such associations as chung
