The visits of Judge Kincaid, one of

RETIRING CHIEF
HOMEWARD BOUND
Dr.. SoIf, Who Governed German
Samoa for Ten Years,
Passes Through.

|. There passed through Honolulu yes
terday the former governor Of German
Samoa. His Excellency Doctor Solf for
the past ten years having held the office
home to Germany. Doctor Solf is one
of the few German governors not of the
royal blood He is a man of great pow
er and personality and universally
liked He and his wife and baby
daughter, accompanied by maid and
valet, are travelling aboard the Cana
dian Australian steamship Makura
which arrived here yesterday morning
early and departed about six in the
evening for Vancouver and Victoria.
Doctor Solf 5 retirement from the
governorship, says the FIJI Times, is the
regret Of all Samoa, German and Amer
lean. At Apia he was royalty fare
welled, a great banquet being given in
his honor and most of the population
turning out to wish him all kinds of
good fortune and happiness.
During the half days stay in Homo
lulu, Doctor Solf and his family were
whizzed from point to point OF interest
in Jim Quinn 5 automobile as the guest
of W. Pfotenhauer, German consul
general The beautiful Pail was visited
as were numerous other points of de
light. The governor and his wife were
charmed with Honolulu.
When Solf became governor of Ger
man Samoa he reorganized the tax sys-
tenn. proclaiming that the common peo-
pie should pay only one dollar year
while the people of the better class
should pay five dollars year; that Is,
that the aliis or chiefs should dig up
five dollars year. Strange to say, per
haps not liking to be considered com
mon people, most Of the taxpayers pro-
duced five dollars a head.

was also near this city that the first
sea island cotton raised in this coun-
try was grown. The first experiments
in the culture of this staple were made
by Josiah Tatnall and Nicholas;
Turnbull, on Skidaway island. The
seed were originally obtained from
the Bahama islands in 1885.
Whitney was born in 1895, In Mass
achusetts. He came south as n school,
teacher, migrating from place to
place, until he was finally taken in
by the widow OF General Nathaniel
Greene as a tutor in the family. The
gin was completed in the winter of
shown by Mrs. Greene to n few of her
neighbors, the possibilities of the in
vention being so apparent as TO ere
ate universal interest and comment.
AS result INSCRIPTIONS persons
broke into the place where the model
was kept and carried it away. 1t is
said that as a consequence many sim
liar machines were in active opera
ton throughout the country before
tne Whitney invention was perfected
and the patents secured, which was
not done until year later.
In spite OF the universal use to
which the cotton gin has been put,
and the revolution In the cotton in
dustry which II precipitated, there is
no stone 20 mark the memory of the
inventor in this section. where he
lived and worked, and where his ma
chine was perfected. IL wns not until
Mr.. Brandon came TO Savannah to
try out his Improvement on the Whit
ney invention that any notice was
taken OF this lack OF official recogni-
tion on the part of the people OF Saw
vannah and of Georgia. Mr.. Brandon
Immediately turned his attention TO
a correction Of this error.
1t is a curious coincidence that
neither Whitney nor Brandon had
seen growing cotton at the time their
inventions were perfected.
