Claims to BE Korohiki.

The plaintiff denies that this is so,
and while admitting that there are
some people in Waikiki who are en-
titled to take water from Wailuku
stream and lao valley, it is not true
that there is any understanding be
tween them and the government where
by the government is authorized to take
the water they are entitled to, run it
through its pipe hnes,, deliver it to the
owners and charge them for the service.
The Waikiki Sugar Company claims
to have purchased water rights until
since 1904 it has owned the konohiki
water rights in lao valley and Waikiki
stream and in branches thereof, and is
entitled to all of the waters, normal
and otherwise of these, except as to
certain kuleana rights within the dis
trict of Wailuku owned by third per-
sons, and it claims to own all the sur
plus and storm waters except such as
it may have leased or disposed of to
others.
So pointedly is the accusation made
that the Territory simply took water
that didn't belong 30 it and created a
profitable waterworks system out of it
that the pleader who drew the bill
might have concluded:
A little rill of water,
A little patch of land
Will grow hydrant system, =
If You fertilize with "sand. -

Another Aggression.
The next step, according to the bill,
was when a storm in lao valley in No
vember, 1900, broke and carried away
the pipeline leading the waters from
the stream, but instead of repairing it
as it was before the superintendent of
the Wailuku waterworks changed the
head to a point near the first crossing
of said lao valley and upon land owned
by the Waikiki Sugar Company under
the plea of necessity and the promise
that when he had more time he would
restore it to where it ought to be.
These entertainments, it is alleged,
have grown until now there is often
diverted a half million gallons day,
and always more than the Territory is
entitled to. the amount so far illegally
diverted being worth ten thousand dol
lars, it is claimed, and the water taken
is needed by the Waikiki Sugar Com
pany to irrigate its plantation.
Zone excuse or pretense made by the
defendant" the bill goes on to say,
g for its action aforesaid, now made, is
that there are a number of persons re-
siding in the village of Waikiki en-
titled to share of the waters from the
Wailuku stream and lao valley for
their lands in Wailuku district, and
that the government is diverting
through its pipe aud water system
aforesaid for the most part the waters
of private individuals for delivery to
them through said pipelines, and that
the charges and water rates made to
such individuals are solely for the use
of said pipelines and the expense of
transmitting the same therein, rather
than through the open bitches, as was
formerly the case ,,

greatest hope for future success.
Columbia is a good proof of what
business can do for the South. With
a population that has nearly doubled
since the last census was taken it is
one of the most progressive cities of
the South.
Time was when female who did
not marry was not allowed under any
circumstances that might arise to do
ANYTHING towards her support, but
thathas passed away along with 9TH
er old time ideas.
Today the daughter of the South
who has received a college education
goes out to use that education by
helping to improve the minds and
morals of others. The speaker has
known of a number of young ladies
of the greatest refinement, coming
from the best homes in Orangeburg
who are not obliged to do anything
for a livi' :, who are at the present
time teaching school in the rural
communities about Rowesville and
St. Georges. What this means not
only to the better education of the
coming generation but in the way of
teaching them by example a more
refined way of living. can only be es-
timated by those who have lived in
those communities and understand
the necessity for such an education.
While the people of the State have
some characteristics that seem un-
fortunate to a dweller in a more con-
servative State, such as the two fire.
quent homicides, yet the better ele-
ments in the State, including all the
leading papers, are casting the inf1u-
ence against the too frequent using
of the gun to settle disputes.
It must be remembered that half
of the murders in the State are laid
to the negro population and that
they belong there.
The home life of the Southern
family is something to be admired.
No child thinks of addressing a faith
er without adding sir and the love of
the children for the mother is some
thing beautiful to see. The Southern
white family as rule is a big one
and this in the mind of the speaker
is going to solve the supremacy of
the race question. Families of eight,
ten or twelve children are the rule
instead of being the rare exception
as in the North. While this is true
of the whites just the reverse is true
OF the colored children. While they
are born into the world in great
numbers only small comparative

The speaker thinks that the coun-
ty dispensary law of South Carolina
J with local option comes as near solv-
/ ing the drink evil as any method
that has come under mis- observation.
With the business handled in the
way that it is and with good men in
the county dispensaries who will not
sell to men who are drunk or drunk
ards and with the law as it is, so that
it must be sold only between sun up
and sun down and the places closed
on special occasions, it seems to
meet the situation as we'll as any
law of human contrivance can, It is
the opinion of the speaker that near
ly all the counties except Richland
and Charleston in the State will go
dry at the next general election. 1t
is also his opinion that the law as it
stands is pretty well observed in
every county in the State except
Charleston, where practically every
restaurant in the city is a blind tiger
for the sale of liqucr.
The people of South Carolina are a
religious people so far as outward
forms go and in the little village
which has been the home of the
speaker for the last year practically
every man, woman and child is a
Methodist, which church fairly di-
vides the honors for membership
among the people of the State.
In noticing obituary notices as
printed in The State the speaker has
bse rived that practically every one
written about who is a man of ma
ture years recites the fact that he
was a distinguished member of such
and such a regiment in the late war
and he was an active member of
uch and such a church.
The speaker believes that the peo-
pie of South Carolina are as good
and no better morally and spiritually
than the native born population of
Connecticut. Of course they do not
have the foreign element with their
loose way of observing Sunday to
deal with as does Connecticut. Phe
speaker is satisfied that the proud
old State of South Carolina which
stood with Connecticut shoulder to
shoulder in fighting the war of In
dependence has splendid future
before her. The wsr and the Recon-
struction days put back her develop
ment half a century but the people
have taken hold to place her in the

rolling with higher hills in the vicin-
ity of Columbia and mountains in the
northern part of the State.
The conformation of the land de-
cided apparently the character Of the
settlements of the early days. The
cavaliers came to South Carolina and
settled on the lowlands and built up
large estates and lived in baronial
style and with their great estates
cultivated by negroes became the ar
istocrats Of the State. The higher
lands were settled by small farmers
of Scotch-Irish ancestry and to this
day there is something of distinc-
ton in the character of the people
inhabiting the different sections.
There never have been nearly so
many negroes in the upper counties
of the State.
In speaking of the social conditions
1t can be said that the ever present
negro furnishes a question that only
the Southerner can handle wisely and
he will be put to his Wits ends to
know how to handle it to the best
advantage of all concerned. In the
first place there is no we'll defined
race antagonism. The negro must not
ask for social or political equality and
it can be said that in the rural COM
munities he is not looking for it or
expecting it.
A white man who goes into the
State from the North must learn
that the negro is never to be address
ed as sir. He does not expect to be
put on the same social plane as the
white man and will despise the white
man who accords him that place.
Then again the white man from the
North must not DO it, if he expects
to be treated like a white man by
the Southerners.
Among themselves the Southern
ers are the most hospitable people on
the face of the earth and the strang-
er in their midst will be treated like
one of their own kind, as long as he
does not overstrp the code of conduct
which the Southerner has establish
ed for himself.
When it comes to business the
Northerner will find that the man in
the Southland is able to hold his own
with the sharpest Yankee that ever
tried to make a bargain. There was
q time when the Southerner who call
ed himself the aristocrat looked down
on the man of business and the pro-
fessional man as we'll, unless the lat
ter was a land owner also, but that
!ay has largely passed away. Today
the business man Of the State is its

percentage get beyond infancy anc
of those who grow up but few live
to old age. At the Prospect camp
meeting, which the speaker visited
last fall, where 1900 negroes were
gathered together there were but
few to be seen who were over sc
years of age and of these all without
an exception were old time slaves
The larger portion Of any gathering
of negroes to be seen in the State are
under 80 years of age and the cause
for this is found in the death rate
which is abnormally high, owing tc
unsanitary living and inherited dis.
ease which saps the vital powers.
The speaker boarded while in the
South with a doctor and he was told
that the death rate among the ne
groes from pneumonia during the
winter and spring months was
something great. They take nc
care Of themselves or of each other
when sick and a pneumonia patient
is almost sure to die.
Consumption which was unknown
in the old slavery days, now claims
it's victims by the thousands among
the negroes.
This condition of the negroes may
be something to be deplored but it
looks to the speaker like a survival
of the fttest and as being the way
that nature takes to carry out its
inevitable laws.
In speaking of the wave of prohibi-
tion that is sweeping over the State
it can be said that the negro or rath-
er the presence among the people of
the negro is responsible for what is
being done all through the South.
While the negro in the rural COM
munities of the South is tractable
and docile when sober, there is no
telling what he will do when drunA
and the fear of what might happen
in communities where the negro out
numbers the whites three or four to
one, as he does in many places in
the South, that is making the white
man pass laws that will make it as
hard as possible for the black man
to get liquor. The white man Of the
South is much like his white broth
er of the North. While there is NO
longer the sidebeard in every home
with an invitation to drink extended
to every visitor any more than the
same thing exists in the North, yet
the white man by means of clubs
and kindred organizations will get
what he needs to drink even in pro-

Must Be Crazy.

At Budgepest, Conn.,, Thomas Nc
Cam, deliberately set fire to the
house in which his wife lay bedrid-
den. Their daughter rushed through
the smoke and flames and car
ried her mother to safety. Both
women were slightly burned and
nearly suffocated. They will recover.
McCann later gave himself up to
the police, saying the house was his
and he had right to burn it. His
family refused to leave the house,
he said, and he was trying to smoke
them out.

Geo. A. Beers, Formerly Of Bris-

publicans.
Mr.. George A. Beers, assistant

company of Rowesville, S. c.. who is

Christmas holidays. was by request
Of the programme committee of the
Mems Union of the Congregational
church, the speaker at the meeting
of the Union Sunday noon, and he
took for his subject, GA View Of the
Physical, Social and Moral Condi-
tons of South Carolina and Its Peo-
pie, with Special Reference to the
Prohibition Wave that is Spreading
Over the South. "
A correspondent writing to The
State from Bristol says what makes

a Southern paper is that Mr.. Beers,
who has lived in the South for the
last 10 months, and in that time has
come to view Southern conditions
from Southern standpoint. was lis
tened to with the closest attention by
an audience every one of whom is a
Republican in politics and are lead
ers of thought in the community.
Mr.. Beers said in part that the
physical conformation of South Car
oIina might be divided into the high
lands and lowlands and that while
the southern part of the State was
almost dead level, the northern
part, commencing at Orangeburg,
