SELL AT $50.
Attributed To High Prices on
Feedstuffs.

Louisville, KY, June 22.-Hogs
sold at $50 per 100 pounds in the
Louisville market to day. This is
the highest price since 1908, and
represents an advance of 10 cents
compared with yesterday and is 81
more than a year ago at this time.
The price ruling is attributed to
the high prices of corn and feedstuff
and to the scarcity Of hogs.
Lambs continue to bring fancy
prices. The best were in demand
to-day at $3.50, and while receipts
we're large, the demand was unsatis-
fed.
Receipts of lambs and sheep dur
ing the past five weeks have aggre-
eaafed $50, 600 head. which is away
ahead OF any corresponding period
in the history Of the Louisville mar
ket.

In Session This Week in
Ashland, Boyd County.
HOPKINSVILLE PASTORS
Reports Will Show $500, 900
Raised For The Baptist
Schools.

The General Baptist Association of
Kentucky is in session this week at
Ashland. The annual meeting of
the Baptist Education Society was
held Wednesday.
The officers Of the Education So
ciety ale DR.. Z. Y. Mullins, presi-
dent; DR.. w. E. Mitchell, recording
secretary. and DR.. P. 7. Hale, cor
responding secretary. 1t is expect
ed that Secretary Hale's report Will
show that the 100000 necessary to
secure the grant of coal land offered
by DR.. A. Gatliff, of Williamsburg,
has been raised. This will mean a
general fund of at least $500, 900 for
Baptist education, as the property
of DR.. Gatliff is easily worth $1,000
1t is understood that DR.. Hale will
at once take the field in the interest
of the $500, 900 endowment for the
Southern Baptist Theological Semi
nary at Louisville. This society will
also elect trustees for all Of the af-
filiated schools and will transact
such other business as pertains to
the welfare of Baptist schools in the
State.
The chief feature of the meeting
will be the report of the correspond
ing secretary, DR.. W. D. Powell.
This report will show that Kentucky
Baptists gave during the past year
S109, 358.45 for all missionary pur-
poses, an increase of $23, 412.51 over
the previous year. This amount was
distributed as follows: State mis-
sions $31, 17775, Sunday-school and
colportage 81, 965,75. foreign mis-
sions $37, 374,99. home missions $685.
63781, church building S13.610C3,
miscellaneous 81, 592.12.
This is regarded as remarkable
showing in consideration of the con-
tinued financial stringency, the
drought. presidential election, to-
bacco troubles, etc.
Rev. c. Nj. Thompson, pastor Of
the Baptist church, and Rev. E. W..
Barnett, of South Union church, are
in attendance from this city.

TENNESSEEANS
Taking Measures to Meet
New Liquor Law.

Nashville, Tenn, June 23.-One
week from Wednesday the law pro-
hibiting the sale of lntoxicants with
in four miles of any schoolhouse in
Tennessee will take effect. Proprie-
tors of places where intoxicants are
sold are making preparations to
meet this condition. 1t seems that
the saloonists of the three cities
where liquor is legally sold, Nash
vile, Chattanooga and Memphis, are
going about their preparations in a
way best suited to each of the re-
spective communities.
In Nashville the understanding is
that locker clubs will be the feature
of the day. Already a number of
orders have been placed with a well
known manufacturing concern of
Nashville, who has been engaged to
make hundreds of lockers of a par
ticular type, fitted for individual
tastes. These lockers will be main
tanned in Nashville for the conven-
fence Of the members who belong to
the club. Each member, of course,
will have a key to his locker and it
will be his property. Over 1000 of
these have been made within the
past few weeks and a number of To-
cal houses have been fitted up with
them.
Chattanooga seems to be waiting
to see what Nashville and Memphis
will do. A number of social CLUBS
have been organized in Hamilton
county, but Memphis takes the lead
in the organization of social clubs,
fifty organizations Of that character
having been chartered for that city

ADVICE TO PROJECTORS.

A mar who is interested in the
development Of the mining industry
In Nevada offers a very pertinent
suggestion to prospectors regarding
the proper location of claims. He
says that In stalking mining claims,
locators should be very careful to
comply with the provisions of the
laws, which require that they should
note on the location notice when ana
where the work was done; that claim
must be staked with monuments at
least three feet high, large enough
70 be seen, and containing sufficient
information not only to safeguard
the interests of the original locator,
but also to act as a guide to those
seeking locations in the same neigh
Dorhood. good suggestion and
well worth following

as follows:
Wailuku, Maui, T. H., Feb. 26,
1909.
To the Honorable Board of Super
visors of the County of Maui, Terri
tory of Hawaii, Wailuku, Maui.
Gentlemen:-
In response to your verbal request
for an opinion from me as to the
legality of the special meeting pro-
posed to be held by you upon this
date, beg to say that assuming the
facts to be that this meeting was
called by the Chairman of your
Board, and not by majority of the
Board, and further assuming it to
be that neither the County Clerk of
the County of Maui, nor any deputy
County Clerk is at present within
the County of Maui, | am of the
opinion that such meeting is not
legally called, and that the transac-
ton of any business 10y your Board
at such meeting would be null and
void.
Section 66 of the County Act pro-
vides inter ALA as follows:
The Board shall hold regular
meetings 49,. ...... and il
shall call such special meetings as
may be necessary for the public well
fare.
1t clearly appears that this does
not confer authority upon any one
member of the Board the right to
call a special meeting. All special
meetings must be called by the
Board, and as | take it meaning a
majority of the Board. The call for
the meeting not being conformable
to the provisions of the section Just
cited, no business can be legally
transacted at said meeting.
The absence of the Clerk or any
deputy, in my opinion, also would
invalidate the proceedings of the
meeting.
BY Section Il of the County Act
the County Clerk is made ex-oflicio
clerk of the Board of Supervisors,
and as such, among other things,
shall Record all proceedings of the
Board. Make full entries of all their
resolutions and decisions on all ques-

In 1873 the Beckwiths returned
once more to California and went
back to the old Third Congregational

this time Bethel church and the old
Fort Street church wanted to unite.
DR.. Bcckwith was unanimously
called as Pastor. 1t was DR.. Beck
with who built the present Central
Union Church and though it cost
more than $125,000 he dedicated it
free of debt, Every man, woman
and child in the congregation, had
a hand in raising the money.
DR.. Beckwith feeling the burden
two great for him during these
years, came to Maui in 1894 and
for eleven years he endcared himself
to all on Maui as the Pastor of the
Makawao Union Church. Messrs.
Bazata and Turner have since fol-
lowed DIR. Beck With as pastors of
this church.
DR.. Beckwith was universally be-
loved by all who knew him and his
friends We're legion among every
nationality. His death removes one
of the land marks of our Islands.
Rev. Edward Griffin Beckwith,
ID. ID. died Wednesday morning
March 3rd, shortly after midnight.
He had been in failing health for
some months, although his death
was wholly unexpected.
Ten days previous to his death,
he was taken to the Paia Hospital
where he had every care and atten-
tion. While DR., Beckwith had for
some years had "A weak heart his
death was due to other complica-
tions. His passing was peaceful Just
as was fitting such a beautiful
character. Mrs. NJ. b. Hair, his
only daughter was at his side when
he passed away. The funeral SER
