GARDEN ISLANDS
UNSUITABLE PRIDE

Garden Island-The Kalihiwai and the
Hanaiei hills are the only ones re-
naming now in this county where the
grades are too heavy for comfortable
travelling. Good progress has been
made toward remedying the defect at
the first named place, and it seems
very probable that before another year
has passed both of them win be given
easy five per cent. grades with the
sharp turns removed. When that hap
pens, the automobile owners of the Is
land, as well as drivers of the old
fashioned-but reliable-horse. will
find no impediment to their enjoyment
of 'the best county roads in the Ter
ritory" from Haena to Mana.

Summons AND
CONGRESSMAN
Tells Chamber of Commerce that
All Were PIeased-FIeet
for Floral Parade.

"They Congressional party all ex-
pressed much satisfaction and appreci
alton regarding their visit, and they
seem to feel like helping Hawaii"
| In a letter of thanks to the Honolulu
| Chamber Of Commerce, Thos. Summons.
formerly American consul-general at
Seoul, and recently transferred to To-
kio, summarizes, as above, his impress
sions of the views expressed by the
members of the congressional party
aboard the Mongolia between Honolulu
and San Francisco. The news was given
out at a meeting of the trustees of the
chamber of commerce held yesterday
afternoon at three O'Clock. The letter,
while one of appreciation of courtesies
shown him while he was in Honolulu
recently, also shows that the congress
men, giving an impartial statement of
their own visit, were also appreciative
of what was done for them.
HUSTLED a Quorum.
The meeting was attended by an ex-
act quorum. There are thirteen or four
| teen trustees, and eight are away from
| the Islands. The required number was
| brought to the meeting by strenuous
use of the telephone. The meeting was
presided over by J. ?. Cooke, with Will
| J. Cooper as acting secretary in the alb
sence of II. P. Wood.

KATAHDIN FOR TARGET.

WASHINGTON, September 28.-The
ram Katahdin, from which so much
was expected as weapon of war, is
about to come to an ignominious end.
Instead of creeping up to monster bat
tleships and sending them to the bot.
tom of the sea, which work she was
designed to perform, she herself will
become the object of attack. The
navy department issued orders yester-
day that she should be towed from the
League Island navy yard at Philadel-
phia to Hampton Roads, Va, to be-
come target for naval guns.

As every lawyer knows, Senator Dan
lei is the author of a comprehensive
treatise on negotiable instruments,
which is generally considered to be the
leading authority on the subject. A
friend one day inquired how it was that
in the midst of his arduous political
duties, which must have demanded his
constant attention, he found time to
write two such exhaustive volumes.
''Well," replied the senator, cit hap
pened this way: A younrg fellow I
knew came to me one day and said,
Say, Mr.. Daniel, does sight draft

Lever and ElleFbe.

The Sumter Watchman and
Southron says:
Congressman Lever aud Ellerbe
voted for the tariff on lumber and
thereby made themselves solid with
the sawmlll men of their respective
districts. 1t will be up to the saw
mill men to stand up for Ellerbe
and Lever in the campaign next
summer when they are attacked on
every stump in their districts for
repudiating the Denver platform
and voting with the Republicans
for a Republican measure"
We have no doubt that the
uber trust will try to take care
Of these gentlemen, as they voted to
take care of the trust, but if the
people are properly informed, they
will knock Ellerbe, Lever and the
lumber trust out of the box. The
fact that trust backs a Congress
man for reelection shows that he
is not a fit representative of the
people. Trusts are enemies of the
people and when Congressman so
votes as to get their support, he
certainly must have voted against
the interests of the masses of the
people, who are the consumers.

From Missouri.

The following amusing incident
occurred some years ago IN north.
western Missouri.
A gentleman went to small prim-
itive village for the purpose of in
specting some land which he had
owned for number of years but had
never seen. Reaching the place one
evening, he secured lodging in a
small house.
The next morning he went to the
back of the house, where on bench
was tin wash basin and near at
hand a barrel of water and a dipper.
After washing his hands and face he
took from his pocket tooth brush
and, pouring some water on it from
the dipper, proceeded to brush his
teeth.
A small boy of the house watched
him for few moments in unfeigned
astonishment, then yelled: "Oh,
nom, come quick and see the fellow
sharpening his teeth1'-July lip

BANKS THAT ADVERTISE
Show Greater Increase In Profits and
Deposits Than On-AdVertiSePS.

The banks in this city that ad-
vertise in newspapers show an In
crease in assets of 3S per cent and an
increase in deposits of IS per cent in
a period of five years, says the Pitts
burg Chronicle Telegraph, while the
banks which do not avail themselves
of the opportunity to advertise gain
ed in the same time only n per cent
in assets and II per cent in deposits.
What is true in this regard of the
banking business is undoubtedly true
of other forms of activity. 1t is the
man who advertises persistent!y and
intelligently who wins the big prizes
in the business world.

THE POLITICAL POT
begins TO BOIL.
SOME PROBABLE CANDIDATES FOR GOV
ERNOR-PlENTY OF TIME BEFORE
The NEXT PRIMARY.

>SiNHiSAttS y 80
WEARS time there will be another
campaign in Sonth Carolina tol
State Offices. 1t is likely to be a spir-
tied campaign and fight all along
the line-that is, for other offices
than that of Governor.
The first Of the formal announce
ments of the campaign has been
made; Mr. Coleman L Blease has an
nounced that he will again make the
race for Governor. Mr. Blease has
way of getting in early and fighting
to the finish whether he wins or not.
Some folks have suggested that he
has made race or two to defeat
~others. There is no way for motives
to be interpreted.
: Who is gong to rul for Governor:
Over in Georgia they groom candl-
dates and nominate them year or
two before they go into office.
There are some folks who think
that the August primaries on the
liquor question Will materially affect
the situation before the candidates
for Governor are announced. As il
matter of fact, the State Is now pro-
hibition from a numerical stand
point; that Is, so far as the voters in
the State primary are concerned.
Anderson, Greenvllle, Spartan
burg, Union, Oconee, Pickens, York
and Greenwood are now prohibition
and these counties alone, not to even
count the other prohibition counties,
contain majority of the white vot-
ers of the State. The counties that
are and have been prohibition FOR
several years now have and have had
the majorities for a long time, and
whether any of the counties 90 for
prohibition in the August primary
will not materially affect the slta&-
ton. 1t may give a reason for pro-
hibition ticket; although that same
reason has existed some time. Gov
ernor Ansel is to-day doing as mach
to enforce prohibition IN the State as
could Governor elected as simon
pure prohibitionist. 1t takes local
sentiment more than all else to en-
force this particular law.
But about the candidates. Mr.
Blease is going to run. The symp-
toms are that Mr. Richard / Man.
ming of Sumter will be in the race.
The probabilities are that Attorney
General j Fraser Lyon will be a
candidate. The friends of Lieuten-
ant Governor Thomas G Mcleod OF
Bishopville are urging him to run.
These four are more or less certain
candidates. If the prohibitionlsts
have a candidate it may be MrC G
Featherstone of Laurens or it may
be Mr. M L Smith of Camden. Then
there is talk of Capt John & Rich
ards running for the place as a farm
Grand some business men think they
would like to see Mayor R Goodwin
Rhett of Charleston enter politics
through the Governors office.
And then there is always the like
llhood of one or two unannounced
and unexpected candidates.
There really ought to be a candi-
date on the platform of a just and
fair tax revision. He may not win
the first shot out out of the box, but
that is as certain to be winning is
sue as any that has ever won in this
