EDITOR STAR: Please allow me
space in your valuable paper to air a
certain grievance against the Adver
tiser for an attack made upon me
little more than a week ago, anent the
authorship of a certain resolution for
the dissemination of certain publish
ed agricultural information among ma
tive Hawaiians, which was introduced
in the House of Representatives and
fathered by Representative A. S. Ka-
leiopu. This grievance seems rather
late in coming, but | have been en-
ployed in doing legislative work OF
the kind not approved of by Editor
Smith and work which he termed as
"a useless waste
Speaking on my own behalf, 1 will
neither admit nor deny the soft i'm
parchment of being the author OF the
said resolution. But was not the re-
solution a timely one besides being a
most worthy one, especially to the ma
tive people, the majority of the voters
of this country, being one among
them but a deplorable one according
to the Advertiser standard of propriety,

years at the instance of its purist edi-

Incendiaries at Work.

Laurens, May 13.--As DR.. c. B.
Earle, of Greenville, and his party
were coming here in automobile, DR..
Earle having been called to at
tend the actor who was accidentally
shot tonight, they passed through
Gray Court and found the stores of
Willis & Curry and R. L. Gray in
flames. The buildings were Destroy
ed, and the loss will amount to sew
eral thousand dollars. 1t is believed
that the fire was caused by an incen-
diary.
Mayor Babb, who had gone to
meet DR.. Earle in an automobile, was
fired on near Gray Court, presumably
by the same party who fired the
buildings. AS Mr.. Babb and his
chauffeur passed through Gray Court
they noticed light in the store of
Willis & Curry, which indicated that
the torch was applied just before the
other party reached Gray Court.

Negro Killed by Train.

Yorkville, May TIA negro
named Will Tate was killed by the
early morning train going west on the
Charleston division of the Southern
railway, near Tirzah, six miles from
Yorkville, on Sunday morning.
Coroner Louthian went down that
day, empaneled a jury and viewed the
body and waited until Monday morn
ing to hold the inquest, as the two
witnesses, the engineer and fireman,
had gone on up to Marion, N. c., with
their train. The evidence was that
Tate was sitting or lying on the track,
probably in a drunken sleep, as a bot
tie of whiskey was found on his per-
son, and he had been drinking the
night before.
The verdict of the jury was THAT
Will Tate came to his death by being
struck by the engine of train No. 35,
going west, Charleston division,
Southern railway, while sitting or ly-
ing on the track of said road"

ReceiyerShip for Mills.

Greenville, May 17.-At a meeting
this afternoon of the stockholders of
Reedy River Manufacturing Company
a resolution was passed declaring that
a temporary receivership for the pur-
pose of enlargement of the plant was
expedient. In pursuance of this reso-
luton proceedings will be commenced
at once looking to the appointment of
the affairs of the corporation. This,
however, will not involve the shutting
down of the plant or any stoppage,
as arrangements have been made to
continue the operation of the plant
without interruption. The mill has
been very much embarrassed since
the August food, when two floors of
the mill building were submerged, in
volving considerable physical damage
to the property.

Death Reported Before it Occurred.

Salinas, CAL, May 15.-Twelve
hours before he was crushed to death
beneath his overturned automobile,
the rumor spread through this city
that Percy Morse, well-known young
seed grower, had been killed on the
road between here and Watsonville.
Late Friday, just twelve hours
after the rumor was circulated, Morse
was found fatally crushed beneath his
wrecked machine. But in the mean
time he had driven into town in his
machine to disprove the rumor.
After circulating about for some
time to show friends that he was
really alive he departed alone in the
car for Watsonville.

Court RENTS the Fine.

New York, May 14.-Paul Morton,
president of the Equitable Life As
surance, Society, has saved $3.50 by

The court assessed a fine of $3.50
against Mr.. Morton, and just after
his return from abroad, Mr.. Morton
fastened to the court and explained
matters.
By promising to serve for two
weeks at $3.50 a day as petty juror,
the fine against the president of the
great life insurance corporation was
RENTED.

WHEAT PRODUCTION.

7
The Minneapolis Tribune had the
following article on stimulating wheat
production and boosting for intensive
farming:
In practicable world there is gem
orally material cause in bringing
about desired results. The economic
law OF supply and demand determines
the price, but 1t has also secondary
effect in checking supply through the
operation OF improbable production
and In increasing supplies by the sti-
mulus OF higher prices. This in turn,
OF course. acts as q countercheck to
abnormal advances by restricting con-
sumption.
There Is every indication that the
high prices for wheat that have pre-
vailed the last two or three years have
brought about a marked gain in pro-
duction. Consumption has been so
widely advertised, not only by specu-
lators. but by more considerable scien-
tific minds, that a belief In the per-
manent high level of wheat prices
seems firmly established.
The effect OF the steady rise was
quite noticeable when the 1909 spring
wheat area was greatly enlarged and
the final results showed a record or
near-record crop gathered. Further
confirmation is found in the recent
government report covering the fail
sown wheat. The acreage is about the
largest ever sown to winter wheat and,
admitting OF only normal deterioration
during the winter, forecasts a liberal
harvest next July.
The gains shown In the area seeded
In the older states indicate renewed
interest In the raising of wheat. Min
nesota, this summer, according to the
government harvested the largest
crop in its history. The December
report on winter wheat shows large
increases In the acreage in the states
east Of the Mississippi river as well
as in the newer section OF the far west.
Important as area is to production,
a more desired object is the greater
yield per acre. The wheat zone has
well defined limitations in the United
States, but improved farming could
nearly double the total bushels at
present returned from the soil. In
tensive cultivation is expensive; it
will come when the wheat grower is
sure Of good profit.

Dec. 15-16-The Climax.
Dec. 25--Thorns and Grange Bios
SONS.
do you know I think that there is
"a kind of selfishness in giving: for
there is kind OF joy in the distribu-
ton of gifts" said Joseph nj. Weber,
who stands sponsor for The Climax.
"One unconsciously gets the habit of
giving. You begin by giving your
wife hat, and the kid OF. the pave
ment a stick of candy. II you give
beggar aims tonight, you will find
1t much easier to repeat the act the
following night. And finally you be-
gin to experience pleasure that is head
and heels over eating and drinking
and smoking and automobiling. At
ter gift to your neighbor. friend or
relative. you initiate your breast, and
you walk at more rapid pace. You
gradually find yourself giving from a
selfish motive. You come t. banker
after the feeling which prompts the
gift. When give a laugh to en-
audience I get a similar feeling. And
when / give a successful play such as
The Climax to the public / hug my
self In glee, and it Is that kind of Joy
one experiences in making q distribu-
ton of gifts"
