ALEC LYLE IS
KEPT ON JUMP

Business is rushing on the Sorenson
& Lyle marine railway at present and
from the work on hand just now it is
apparent that there will be no let up
for some little time to come. This
morning the Mohican was launched,
being taken across. the harbor to her
anchorage by the Intrepid. She had
some new sheathing and two coats of
paint placed on her bottom putting
her in good shape for the coming
work she has to do.
The r-Island steamer Kauai is
expected from Hilo to be placed on
the railway for her regular cleaning
and general repairs. It is some time
since she has been seen in this har-
Dor and she will be placed in first-class
condition before going back to the big
island. On Wednesday the Claudine
will be hauled up for cleaning and
painting and as soon as she is off the
ways the S. G. Wilder will take her
place.

FUNDS PROVIDED
FOR BARRACKS

The statement which has been
made that the funds for the building
of the barracks for the Coast artil-
lery on the land recently purchased
by the War Department "are not yet
forthcoming" is erroneous. In the
last session of Congress the so-called
sundTy civil bill carried with it the
following paragraph, which provides
for this work: "SEACOAST DE-
FENSES, PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
AND HAWAII: For the construction
of the necessary accommodations for
the seacoast artillery in the Philip
pine Islands and Hawaii, six hundred
thousand dollars"
In addition to this was the follow
ing paragraph: MILITARY POST,
WAIKIKI, HONOLULU, HAWAII:
For filling in ponds on additional land
purchased by the Engineer Depart
ment in connection with the construc-
ton of four-company coast artillery
post at Waikiki, Honolulu, Hawaii,
fifty thousand dollars"
From this it is apparent that the
post at Waikiki is fully provided for
and it may be expected that work will
be commenced on it as soon as the
title to the land is finally settled and
the ponds have been filled in under
the fifty thousand dollar appropria-
! ton

HONOLULU GREAT
OPPORTUNITY
(Contributed)

The people of Honolulu are to have
an opportunity such as comes to a
favored few once in a lifetime.
We hear of great inspirational
movements taking place in one part
of the world or another. Some man
clothed with an indefnable influence,
goes from one place to another, and
where he goes humanity is moved en-
masse, as irresistibly as steel filings
in the presence of a magnet.
Such a man is DR.. J. Wilbur Chap
man, under whose leadership the peo-
pie of Boston, in the month of Feb
ruary, were carried completely into a
new environment Touched, as with a
magic wand, the city rose up to meet
him; a breath of song carried the
whole community into a new atmos-
phere Vice was ashamed of itself,
and for the time forsool1 its own ways.
Prayer became a living language.
With DR.. Chapman comes Mr.. Alex
ander, man as remarkable in song
as DR.. Chapman is in preaching. They
will be here on April 1 or 2, and lay
their plans with people of Honolulu
for great evangelistic campaign to
take place later in the year. To be in
the presence of a great opportunity
and not know it would be reerettable.
Get in touch with this movement from
its very beginning

SALONE DANCE

Everyone knows about the Great
Salome dance that made such hit on
the mainland and in the East, the
dance that caused as great excitement
as the merry widow waltz a year be-
fore, the dance that shows such grace
and ease Of action.
This will be the feature film at the
Art Theatre commencing this after
noon. There is absolutely nothing OBJ
jectionable about the film as it repre-
sents grace pure and simple and the
highest attainment of the dancers art.
If you would get an idea of this great
dance, see it at the Art as it is re-
production Of the original
This weeks program is excellent,
comprising another feature film Life

of program is the best the Art has YET
given.

SHOULD STAY SETTLED

Every now and then somebody rises
up and says that the question OF state
prohibition should be ~re-opened. They
| who opposed prohibition and n men
who favored it are agreed in not wish
ing to have another great Wrangle
over the question.
Some days ago the Wilmington Star
had q rather severe comment upon a
leading advocate of prohibition. This
led an exchange to the conclusion h a
the Sta was ready to head a move
ment to re-submit the prohibition
question to the people of the State.
Before the campaign the Star did not
favor prohibition, but like nearly all
it's opponents accepted the verdict
of the people, and does not wish to
see the question re-opened. Reply
ing to a criticism, the Star says:
80 far from being against prohibit
tion.' this paper has incidentally an
nounced several times that it is in IA
vor of the law, both because it is the
law and ought to be obeyed in letter
and spirit, and also we con-
ceive that the further agitation OF no
question could be SO harmful 10 all
the better interests Of the State. The
people who would continue to agitate
for further liquor legislation are in
our opinion indulging a dangerous
course and are inimical to all the bet
ter impulses now finding expression
in the State. The question is n that
arose by reason Of the vital interest
which the people had in it. It has
settled by a decisive majority.
hope that it will stay settled, and
that the great body Of the people will
frown upon any and all efforts to re-
open it, whether such efforts are In
by paOple whose desire is
to return the saloon, or by people n
e~ngrossed with one idea in an era Of
and business, would continue
to find issues where there ought to be
none. 1t was necessary in the inter
ests of peace to dea with the liquor
question; now that we have dealt with
it, the man who would create further
is a dangerous factor, whether
he proceeds upon h premise Of an
unsatisfied prohibitionist or a dis
gruntled opponent Of this new and
problematical policy. We conceive
hat the State has better and higher
things to think about than this

DRAINAGE ASSOCIATION.

One wear ago in the city Of New
Rerne the North Carolina Drainage
Association was organized. The people
who own large bodies of land had seer
their crops drowned out for several
years. and the wisest and most pro-
gressive among them saw tina rich
lands would be rendered almost value
less unless they could be drained. The
addresses and speeches at hat meet
ing aroused the people and as a re-
suit of that gathering the Genera
Assembly adopted a d and up
to-date law by which the people IN
any section can unite and have their
lands drained. This has been a good
year in some farming hurt
last year by heavy rains, but other
counties have been flooded. One good
year ought not to cause the people to
forget the importance of necessary CO.
operation in the matter Of drainage.
We have the law n it makes
drainage easy and enables land own
ers to pay the cost in annual install
ments, but Of what use is the good
law unless the people get together
and organize drainage districts? In
some counties progressive farmers
have organized such districts and are
already digging bitches and making
ready effective drainage, but in some
other sections the people are slow to
take advantage Of the provisions Of
the new law. The need is for the most
progressive men in every ~neighbor-
hood to lead in the movement, and
when all the ~iand-holders see the ad-
vantage it will be to them they will be
as earnestly in favor Of it as the farm
ers are enthusiastic for good roads
when once such roads are built by
their homes
Able and experienced men are dis
cussing the important question in
the second annual meeting at New
Rerne this week. Let the press stir up
the people to fight this enemy of
successful farming and it will do much
to rid Eastern North Carolina Of the
mosquito and will develop the richest
lands in North Carolina-lands that
would readily bring one hundred dol
lars an acre if adequately drained.

PAY THE PREACHER MORE.

The high price Of everything that
n wears or eats makes the purchas-
ing power of a dollar considerably
less than a few years ago, and yet in
many congregations the salary Of the
preacher remains little if any more
than it was when a dollar would buy
twice as many chickens and many
more articles Of apparel. Fourteen
cent cotton enables the people to pay
better salaries. AllusiOn was made
last week to the action of certain
country Methodist churches increas-
ing the salaries of their pastors. Other
churches are doing likewise. In the
last ssue of the Biblical Recorder
Prof. j. B. Carlyle, President OF the
Baptist State Convention, writing of
the approaching session at Wades-
bCro, thus makes an earnest appeal
for better support Of the ministry:
'Delegates at the last Convention
Will recall that h following reSolu-
ton introduced by me was passed by
a unanimous vote Of h laymen:
Whereas, it is a recognized
principle of the Christian relig-
ion that preachers should live Of
TIE dOSOeI. ana,
Whereas, the cost of living in
recent years has been greatly in
creased; therefore. be it
Resolved, That this Conven-
ton suggest to it's constituent
churches the duty Of looking into
the question Of salaries paid to
their faithful and efficient pas-
tors, with a view to an increase
at the beginning of the year
1908 wherever practicable"
Since the adoption of that resolu-
ton h living expenses have been
still further increased until now the
average cost is 40 per cen above the
fgures Of ten years ago. The plain
suggestion Of duty is, that an increase
or 40 per cent in the pastors salaries
should follow. Other salaries are be-
ing raised. Shall preachers alone be
neglected? On behalf of the men
who travel and toll to proclaim a glo-
rlous Gospel; on behalf Of the pa
tlent wives who suffer in silence. on
behalf Of the children who must be
fed, clothed and educated, [ appeal
to the churches, which have not yet
acted, to see to it that their pastors
are paid adequate Salaries"
