dressed him, Senator Patterson states,
he was dealt a terrific blow, which
feHed him after which his assailant
beat and kicked him before he could
arise. He says ne did not know who

Discussed Alleged Threat.
Mr.. Bonfils states hat the two men
met and tina a discussion arose over
a threat Senator Patterson had made
IN the columns Of the News to run Mr..
Bonfiis out of business or put him in

Bonils, Mr.. Patterson reiterated the
threat and the fight started.
Mr.. Bonils admitted knocking the
senator down, but claims justification
on account of the senator's published
and spoken language. Mr.. Bonfls
claims that Senator Patterson was
accompanied by his son-in-law, Rich

FORMER SENATOR NORWOOD
Says the Negro Is Incapable of Re-
ceiving Education.


Savannah, Ga.-Thomas M. Nor
wood, former congressman and ex-
United States senator from Georgia, de-
livered a remarkable address on the
race question today, the occasion being
his retirement from the bench, a place
he had occupied for twelve years. The
judge said hat after investigation and
long contact with the negro as a de,
PENDANT in his court he had reached the
conclusion that the black is incapable
OF receiving and using more than the
rudiments of an education.
The negro as a slave vas cared for
by the white man, he said, but the pres
emit generation is re~trograding to the
status of the savage and rule by force.
This is shown by the constant disre-
gard of laws, repeated resistance OF ar
rest and shooting down of white men
who attempt to control them.
The mulatto is the curse OF both the
white and the negro race in the South
said Judge Norwood. They stir the
others to deeds of violence and create
discord. Illicit miscegenation, he held,
should be ~repressed by the most vigor-
Gus laws. 1t should be made a capital
o~ffense, the guilty man hanged and the
woman sent % the penitentiary for life.

Evening of jan. 10.

Port of Spain, Trinidad, Dec. 30
The American ~battleship fleet weighed

noon and steamed for Rio Janeiro. Ac-
companying the feet were the sup
ply ships Culgoa and Glacier. Early
in the morning the signal went up
from Rear Admiral Evans flagship
Connecticut to prepare for departure
at s d. NJ, but owing to a delay in the
coaling of the battleship Maine from
the collier Fortuna, it was necessary
change the time of sailing.
Long before the hour set a myriad
Of small boats, chiefly launches and
steam yachts, moved up and down
along the lines of anchored warships,
the merry parties aboard shouting
farewells to the departing visitors.
Thousands of residents climbed the
surrounding hills to view the great
white sitips as they moved outward
on their journey of 5000 miles and
more, while boat loads of excursion
lists went to the small islands in the
gulf and others to the floating dock
to catch the last glimpse of the ships
that were so royalty welcomed to this
port almost a week ago.
Presented Magnificent Appearance.
The feet presented a mafinicent
appearance as it steamed out in four
columns with the supply ships trail
ing, l. distance of 400 yards separating
one division from another. With the
Connecticut in the lead, the battle
ships headed for the Rooas and

Grand Booa and thence along the

the second lap of the Ia, 000-mile

fore his departure that he expected

Sir Henry Moore Jackson. governor

the exemplary behavior of the men,
and the papers compliment Admiral
Evans in the warmest terms, express
ing to him and his men the best
wishes of the people of Trinidad and
the hope that they will soon return.
Saturday an unusual number of
steamers, with many excursionists
aboard, put out to the feet. and In

OAHU COUNTRY CLUB
IS IDEAL FOR GOLFERS
Golf Links Not Only Picturesque but Laid Out
on Ground That Is Well Adapted
for the Purpose.

of gravity. Fortunately for the tyro
player this ditch is not there officially.
1t is there merely to drain water away
from the grounds and not to catch balls.
For this reason a ball may be taken
out and placed in better position for
lofting up the next slope, without
penalty.
And so the way goes on and around
the links with high greens and low gull
lies in between, the whole covered with
a carpet of soft grass that delights the
feet of the man from distant places
where grass is hardly known and the
rains come only in the few winter
months
The committee in charge of the links
have taken their duties to heart, and
it would be impossible to find smoother
green's even in Surrey or on the famous
links of the Cirque Ports. Putting on
these green's is a joy to the expert and
an ever-ready encouragement to the
novice. The ball rolls true and straight
and no jutting pebble or heel-mark in
trudes to make the old men mutter
and the young men swear.
Neither is there any rude, intruding
clamor from the outside world to break
the sacred stiffness of the green. The
worst that a nervous putter can COM
plain of is the distant shout of 'tFore -
from some other part of the links. No
player can complain like the fiery and
irate Colonel of tradition, who, after
putting five times unsuccessfully, roar
ed: 50 Hang it, sir, how in Hades is
man to put with those blank railway
trains going by all the timeR"
The Country Club golf links are ideal,
of that there is no doubt, and, when
the car line is continued so that play
ers may easily reach there after work
ing hours, it will be more ideal still.
More should be heard of the golf links,
for they alone would persuade many
wealthy tourist to make his home in
Honolulu.
Not only has the club a fine location,
but its membership contains the names
of the best sportsmen and foremost
business men of the Island. 1t is an
old saying that if you want to find a
thorough gentleman you should look on
the links, and this is well eexemplifed
by the Oahu Country Club
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1908-08-13

Without exaggeration it may be said
that the Island of Oahu possesses a
country club with the most picturesque
and ideal situation of any in the world.
Ground, climate, grass and locality all
make a combination that must appeal
irresistibly to any lover of the grand
old Scotch game of golf.
Up where the Nuuanu valley is just
beginning to tire of climbing uphill
and is sloping more gradually to the
mist-clouded opening of thes Pail be-
yond, there is knoll that juts out
from the steep rise OF the hills to the
northward, and below and around this
knoll there are smaller knobs that rise
and fall in gentle slopes of ground
down to the line of trees that marks
the outpost of the city.
Here it is that the Country Club has
established itself and built a clubhouse
entirely in keeping with the combined
softness and grandeur of its surround
ings. 1t is indeed this combination of
softness and grandeur that first strikes
the casual visitor.
Walking up the hill from where the
car-line ends one is surrounded by a
profusion of luscious green foliage. In
the near distance the foothill slopes,
smiling in their light coloring, rise to
the duller shades of the steep Sierras
above, while in front and beyond
pail of seurrying cloud and mist caps
the heads of the frowning heights
above where the Pail begrudgingly
opens its mouth to the breath of the
restless trade winds.
From the top of the knoll where the
clubhouse stands there is a very differ
ent view to the westward. Directly
beneath ones feet the ground slopes
sharply for a short distance to where
it is arrested in its descent by smaller
knoll where a green is laid. Other
rounded .hillocks appear below this, all
covered with a soft, springy grass of
the highest shade. The light green
turns to dark foliage beyond the links,
dotted here and there by the white and
brown-of a villa peeping through the
trees Beyond this lies the city with
its distance-shaded roofs, and, beyond
all, the blue, sparkling ocean and the
haze of mystery hanging over the
horizon.
Over all this the fresh, pure air of
the trade winds sweeps down to the
water, carrying with it touch of life
and vigor not felt in the city below.
There is no sense of chill in the air,
just 4 delightful freshness that makes
one want to get up and do something
and make that something worth while.
The first tee is at the back of the
clubhouse and facing it, after a short
downward slope is vicious looking
hazard This is in the shape of al
frowning wall of rock, at the foot of
which the unlucky starter whose ball
falls therein, must work again to get
his ball free.
But at the top of this wall is a kind
ly green with fairly fat fsor, and the
hard hitter may land comfortably with
in easy putting distance of the hole.
From this green the way leads to the
northwestward along the side of the
hill and across a deep gully, which is
another warning to the man who
fooZles.
Between the second and third greens
there is a ditch that gapes invitingly
for little white balls that feel the force
