sensuous and wildly beautiful play

A faint sound of a Samoan boat song
drifts from down stream all but drown
ed by the rushing waters, and looking
down, you behold three placid women
bare to the waist up to which they
are immersed in the middle of the
stream which runs more sluggishly
there, and lazily they drone the song
as they, in similar fashion, beat their
daily wash with heavy sticks upon
the fattened stones.
Your girl companion has, with a
swift "Tofa" darted into the opposite
grove which skirts the bank, and be-

your steps to the bathroom wherein
your clothes are deposited, but you

the overpowering heat envelops you,
and by the time you have donned your
street clothes, thin as they are, you
are wet and Your clothes are wet, and
your carefully combed hair is hanging

And so you walk leisurely back to

your room on the second floor in such
state of complete exhaustion that
you ardently regret ever having left

About Robert Louis Stevenson.
There is a narrow white road pass
ing the Tivoli Hotel bordered on eth
er side by luxuriant groves of banana
and breadfruit trees, through which
occasional glimpses are caught, of Sc
cluded Samoan huts hiding in the UNI
dergrowth, and, long before these have
given way to neat cottages of more
adaptable structure, footpath leads
abruptly off to the left and winds its
arduous way over mounds of gradual

cliff overlooking Hamilton Hole"
pool of pretentious proportions of cry
stall translucent water which, further
up and lost amid the underground, has
rumbled and tumbled along over
lodges and rocky beds in noisy surg
ing stream, which has tempted you
unseen at distance by its incessant
roar, till it has opened out into a wide
and sufficient passage to relax it's pent-
up flow through narrow canyons, and
has melted out into a clear lazy pool
about two hundred yards in diameter,
and ranging in it's sloping depth from
four to twenty feet. It's bosom is
placid and chilly, and at its edges it
slides beneath protecting foliage of
every tropical species of wildness.
Here is the Waikiki of Apia.
And now, in place of the rude shack
which some natives had hastily erect
ed and which, with it's torn Tapping
half a dozen yards of faded burlap,
looked like a fantastic scarecrow,
stands a neat long low building con-
| tanning a number of bath rooms erect

are at the disposal of the general

ing restricted from two to four D. m.
and the gentlemen's from four to six.

cod and very clear, each tiny, smooth,
white pebble at the bed being visible,
and the dense dark shade of the great
spreading trees, on each side which,
in some places, all but meet overhead,
forms a grateful oasis from the op-
pressive glaring heat of the unpro-

carefully make your way along the
sloping bank, bounding from one fiat

beach of pebbles and at last wade into
the icy water, making your way eau.
tiously toward the center
You are of a sudden arrested by the
sound of laughter and hastily glance
up stream.
The water is bubbling and surging
and rushing along, here and there
pouring over uplifted boulders like
crystal lava, again in other spots dash
ing continuous iridescent spray, and
as you advance against the current its
strength pitted against yours becomes
almost a personal matter and you urge
your way onward by sheer force, with
the water whirling round you on all
sides.
For the second time a gay laugh, as
ripping as the stream itself, is heard
and you glance up in it's direction to
meet a smiling young face peering
above a rock.
Gradually, as you beckon encourag-
ingly, the face energies into a shock
of black hair, then brown shoulders
and last a clinging lava-lava wound
round a supple young body. The lava
lava is deftly utilized by the girls for
a convenient, if not chic bathing suit,
by bringing the two ends from the
back just below the arms, crossing in
front and tying at the back of the
neck.
Before the afternoon is over you
have both become quite friendly, your
merry care-free companion entertain
ing you with wonderful aquatic feats,
and always enjoying to the utmost
your incredulous and mute apprecia-
ton.
She has dived for you off large
boulder into the deepest spot in all
that sheet of water, her lava lava
tucked tightly about her supple limbs,
her long shapely arms pointed above
her head, and while you were breath
less with anxiety she has caught your
toe like a prawn, and glided up side
wise right under your very nose. Then
she has floated on her back proving
by her swift flight across the pool that
one may make as great a Roadway
thus as by swimming in conventional
fashion.
And she has sunk mysteriously to
the bed of the pool, where looking
down at her CHASTITY features magnified
by reflection, her staring eyes looking
hideously up at you and clenched
hands over her breast And, when
she saw you had been properly i'm
pressed, she turned over with a quick
movement and swan about for a few
seconds to and fro like wildly colored
trout.
1t is a carefree life these Samoans
lead, indeed! They nourish no trou-
blesome surmises for unseen woe, or
remorse, no torturing ambitions but to

SON IS HEAD OF
FAMILY, RULES COURT
Decision Made in Case Up
From AmeriCuS.

That a son is the head of family
if he is helping support and manag-
ing the affairs OF the mother, and has
a rigiE to homestead exemptions in the
bankruptcy courts of $1,000 under the
constitution of Georgia, was the gist
of a holding by Judge Emory Speer
in the bankruptcy case of George ".
Gibson, of Americas, several months
ago adjudged a bankrupt, and VINO
made application for the homestead
exemptions in behalf of his mother.
His creditors objected to tits. Referee
Bankruptcy Alexander Proudfit al
so held adversely to Glisson and the
latter appealed to Judge Speer. Judge
Speer decided in his favor when It
was argued before him.
Attorneys Lane and Park appeared
for the creditors and Attorneys J. r..
L. Smith and w. P. Wallis, of Ameri-
Gus, for Gibson.
Glisson's mother is so years old, and
it was brought out n the hearing be-
fore Referee Proudfit that he owed
her $4,000 for which he had given her
a mortgage on farm lands to secure
THE loan. These lands passed into the
bankruptcy proceedings.

YOUNG CAROLINIAN
WANTS SLICE OF FARM
Has Option On 200 Acres
of Crockett Place,

1t is a poor news day in Americas
that does not develop a real estate
story with South Carol ma end to T.
So many Carolinians have their eyes
set steadfastly in this direction that it
is not remarkable that sales, rumors
of sales and new arrivals to look out
the land are of daily occurrence.
The latest item is to the effect that
a young South Carolina farmer, living
near b sEopsy lie, who recently paid a
visit to Americas, now has an option
on some two hundred acres of the
Crockett farm two miles east of the
city.
The young farmer in question is en-
deavoring to dispose of his South Car
DINA farm, with the idea of purchas-
ing here and immed ately moving over
to Sumter county. There have been
few who have visited here who have
been more delighted than he has been
with the conditions prevailing in sum
ter and his desire to become a settler
seems to grow in intensity with every
day.
1t IS quite probable that the sale will
be announced within fortnight and
another sturdy, progressive and effic-
lent young South Carolinian added to
the ever increasing colony from that
STATE.

CHANGE OF LIBRARIANS
FIRST OF MONTH
Miss Holmes Then Resigns
Her Present Position

On next Saturday Miss Ellie Holmes
sewers her connection with the Carne-
gle Library as lis Librarian.
Miss Holmes has been acting as Ii
brarian for several months, having
succeeded Miss Palmer, who is now
meeting with much' success as llbrar-
ian at Charlotte, N. c.
Miss Holmes returns to Atlanta, her
former home, but later will take up
again the work of librarian, to which
she is devoted. She is a graduate OF
the Training School for Librarians,
operated in connection with the Car
nege Library at Atlanta During her
service here she demonstrated her
capacity for the work and won many
friends who will regret to see her
leave tie city.
The financial necessities of the Ii
brary compelled a slicing of expenses
n all directions. The city's meagre
appropriation of $75 a month is, of
course, ent rely inadequate for a pro
er maintenance Of the library and the.
Board of Managers found it necessary
to ,curtail expenditures in alr@ direc-I
lions to keep the institution in opera
ton and meet some of the accumulated
Indebtedness. 1t was because of this
stern necessity that the salary of the
librarian was reduced to $50 a month
and other OUTLAWS of money reduced roI
the lowest INIT possible.
The successor to Miss Holmes has
not yet been chosen by the Board Of
Directors. There is, as far as known,
but one applicant for the position, Mrs
Lucy c. Taylor There is no question
that Mrs. Taylor would make a pop
ular and efficient official in this capac-
ty and her host of friends throughout
the city would be we'll pleased with
the announcement of her selection to
a position, in which, she is eminently
qualified to make an enviable record
