anything beyond The bare announcement.
All the morning papers, however, appear
with heavy mourning borders and fun
biographies of the dead sovereign. They
publish editorials deploring the nation S
loss, while many columns of dispatches
from abroad testify to the intensity OF
interest and even alarm his sudden ILL
ness had excited throughout the world.
Little yet has been heard on the SUD-
ject of the new king, but the universal
burden of the editorials is to remind the
empire of the great loss sustained.
In the zenith of his fame, and what
seemed to his loyal subjects but the mid
die of his reign he has been suddenly
stricken down." says the Morning Post.
Seldom has an English king and never
has a British king enjoyed throughout
his life the same kindly personal affec-
ton as always attended King Edward.
Only now. too late. will men know how
much they owed to him and how great
part he unostentatiously played"

County's Roads Good.

Supervisor r. J.. Moultrie and
his co-workers, the members of the
board Of commissioners. Mr.. j. n.
Grihis and Mr.. j. o.. Herrin, can
not be commended too highly fol-.
the excellent condition of the public
roads of the county. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that it is snow the mid
die of January, the roads in the
main are in better condition than
they were in midsummer some years
ago. Supervisor Moultrie is having
thorough work done a specimen be-
ing the recently worked portion
of the road between Edgefield and
Johnston. The road has been wi
dened in places by opening the old
bitches on the sides and the dirt
has been dragged to the centre,
which keeps high and dry the beat
en- track made by vehicles.

next, a splendid vocal and instru-

the Honolulu students, who have
been greeted by large audiences in

their entertainment in Northhamp-

under the auspices of the Home Gull

the Honolulu Students. To say
that. they greatly pleased the au-

Theyate born entertainers and sang
with,a vim and snap that carried
the audience with them from the
start. Too much cannot be said in
praise of the Sextette from the Ha-

encored. The entertainers proved
themselves to be finished singers
and iBstrumentalists. The i-lustra-
ted views of the Islands, alone,

Statement From Cemetery AS
ISOLATION.

The annual dues of members of.
the Cemetery Association will be
cal ed for within the next few days.
From this time on it will be neces-
sary to depend upon these for the
most part to meet the expenses of
the association. Heretofore, these
have amounted to less than one
hundred dollars. 1t will take twice
that amount to maintain q keeper
and meet other expenses. The com
mittee must urge, therefore, that
those interested in the cemetery
contribute more generally and gen
erously, Shall our cemetery be kept
in neat condition, and thus a proper
respect be shown the memory of
our dead? Your response to this APP
peal will answer the question.
