D|SPENSARY
WAS PLANNED

A practical prohibition proposition
was made al the meeting of the License
Commissioners yesterday afternoon by
Andrew Adams, manager of the Ka-
huku plantation, his idea being the es-
tablishment of a dispensary at the plan
tation, run by the plantation, and the
profits to he turned back to the labor
ers in the shape of improved cottages
and camps. Had it been clear that the
dispensary would have served Others
outside the plantation, the idea would
probably have been favored by the
Board. This was not to have enforced
total abstinence but enforced sobriety,
whatever drinking there had to be, to
be of pure liquor, served by one with
out any object in getting his custom
'ers drunk and dispensed under planta-
ton auspices. This is practically the
South Carolina idea on small scale.
Mr.. Adams protested against the is
suing of renewal of a wholesale IL
cense at Kahuku, stating that if his
protest was needed he would himself
be an applicant for retail license In
explanation of this seemingly selfish
course he wrote:
Since the population in this part
of the district of Koolauloa is almost
exclusively made up of employees of the
Kahuku Plantation Company, this com
pany will protest against the issuance
of license to sell Intoxicating liquors
to any person whatsoever not endorsed
by this company. Our purpose in con
ducing diSpensary is that the LIQUOR
traffic may be controlled by us. 1t is
our intention to employ reputable
man to conduct the dispensary, which
would be open during few hours of
the day and evening only. During the
balance of the day this man would be
employed as sanitary inspector, and
would also guard against the Illicit sell.
ing of liquor in the plantation camps
1t is our intention to sell only the best
liquors and to have no open bar. The
profits, if any, by voie of the directors
of the Kahuku Plantation Company
are to be devoted to tine identifying of
dwellings and the camps. Our sole pur
pose IN seeking to control the liquor
traffic at this place is to prevent in
toxication and to encourage temper
ance. 1t is not the intention of thi.
company to insist upon total abstinence
since we believe that the individual
has the right to determine whether OF
not he shall use intoxicating liquors. ,
The renewal which Manager Adams
protested against, however, was grant
ed, the conditions in the section being
peculiar. Between Heeia and Waialua
there is only the one license, his whole
sale license allowing him to supply the
district. Since the granting of this Ii
cense, it is stated, a whole drove OF
blind pigs have been killed off. The
dispensary could not have filed tn,
place of the wholesale shop. Conse
quently an excellent idea can not b,
developed.

The Inter'Islaud people are very
much gratifed at the response the peo-
pie of Honolulu have given to their
announcement of big excursion July
4th to Hilo and to the volcano of Kill
auea.
The present time is the most propi-
tious for visit to the active crater
aud i is doubtful if there will ever
again be more favorable opportunity
TO witness Kilauea 5 fires. Also, the
plans made by the Inter Island Com
pany for the rapid transportation of
visitors TO the Volcano House from the
steamer landing give visitors long
stay at the Volcano House and night
view of the wonderful spectacle.
The unusually low rates offered are
not the least of the attractions. The
whole trip 10 the Volcano, including
hoard and lodging at the VOLCANIC
House, will cost only se5, The usual
price Is sfeb0 50 i, may be seen that

The reason why the Pacific Mail

"The steamer Asia win cut out Ho-

The Nashville globe. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1906-193?, 1909-01-08

At special meeting held in this city
Tuesday, Jan. 5, a decision was reach
ed with respect to holding the fourth
annual session of the great Sunday
school Congress and Young Peoples
Chautauqua Nashville has once more
outstripped her competitors, being
awarded this important religious
Gathering. The last session of the
ChautauQua was held in Jacksonville,
Fla Since that time the boards un-
der whose management the Sunday
school movement is fostered have
been constantly flooded with requests
from cities throughout the country
asking for the Congress. In giving
out notice the secretary of the Con-
gress movement, Henry A. Boyd,
said Nashville has given better
assurance for properly entertaining
this meeting than the other cities.
Then, too, the city has the advantage
in its geographical location as to the
Baptists. The Congress will be held
from June 2nd to the 7th, 1909, inclu-
sive. All of the Suuday-schools through
out the country will have special letters
and special invitations The call for the
meeting will be sent out officially
signed by Rev. c. H. Clark, chairman
of the Publishing Board, Rev, e. w.
D. Isaac, secretary of the b. Y. P. U.
Board; and Rev R. H. Boyd, of the
Home Mission Board, as the meeting
is held under the auspices of these
three boards. 1t is not known def
nitely what other arrangements with
respect to this meeting have been
made, but the assurance is given that
it will excel both in point of interest
and attendance any other distinct
denominational gathering for young
people, Nashville will have the op-
portunity once more to entertain a
national body.
