other forms of real hospitality.
And here let it be plainly stated
that at present Honolulu, among the
foreign shippers, has the reputation
right or wrong-of being one of the
most expensive ports of call in the
world, and We gather from good au-
thority that precisely the fact of this
is the sole and real reason
why not more ships from Germany,
France and Italy which navigate
the Pacific, do not now call
here for orders. This assertion is al
ready not unknown to our local men
of business, who generally think they
meet it vlctoriously by the retort
that the charges in San Francisco are
still higher; but this is no argument

Agreement in Kirk Case.

Aiken, April Monday after
noon Judge Prince heard the argu-
ments in the case of "Mrs. Georgiana
Hamilton VS.. Herbert E. Gyles and
others, composing the city council of
Aiken, H. H. Wyman, and others,
composing the board Of health of
the city of Aiken, T. G. Croft and
Mrs. E. C. Legare." This case came
as a result of an Injunction secured
temporarily several weeks ago to for
bid the board of health or city coun-
Gil from destroying by fire or other
wise the house formerly occupied by
Miss Kirk, the alleged leper, who
died some time ago.
The parties consented that the tenn
porary order should be continued
until a final adjudication of the ques-
tions concerned in the temporary Or
der, principally the same as were
brought up when the case of Miss
Kirk was in the courts, namely, that
the form of leprosy from which Miss
Kirk suffered was not malignant, etc.

Child Injured by Horse.

Camden, April 14.-While playing
in the backyard this morning, Frank
Mackey, the 3-year-old son of j. T.
Mackey, cashier of the First Nation
al bank, was kicked and paved by
the family horse. The little boys
skull was crushed, and as a result
his side is completely paralyzed be-
ing caused by the indentation press
ing against the brain.
AS soon as his condition was
learned he was carried to Columbia
on the morning train. An operation
will be- performed to relieve the
pressure against the brain and cure
the paralysis. The accident is not
necessarily fatal. It is not known
whether the horse was vicious or
merely prancing and playing with
the boy, as it was accustomed to
doing.

NINETEEN KILLED BY STORM.
Over One Hundred Injured, Latest
Report of Western Tornado.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 13.-Al-
though the weather is fair tonight
throughout the tornado swept dis
tricts of Kansas, Oklahoma and west
ern Missouri and northern Arkansas,
the major portion of the telephone
and telegraph wires are still down,
and only meagre reports of the death
and destruction wrought by the storm
yesterday are obtainable. 1t now ap-
pears that at least 10 persons were
killed. Four deaths are reported
from Meeker, Okla, and three from
Plummerville, Ark, are of identified
persons.
The list of injured will number
more than 100.
The monetary loss in Kansas alone
is estimated to be in excess of $780,
900. 1t is thought the damage in
other sections visited by the storm
will bring the total to be more than
s1,OO0,000.
Of all the stricken cities Big Heart,
Okla, suffered the greatest damage.
Three people were killed there, 60
injured, 3S fatally. Although in
jured in Big Heart they were taken
to Tulsa on relief train and they
are now in hospitals there. Little of
the town was left standing.
Lawrence, Kan, sustained the
largest property loss of any Kansas
town, it being estimated at $780,
900. Seventy-four residences were
wrecked in the street lines, and elec-
trio lights were put out of commits
sion. The city is still dark.
In Brown county, Kan, the tor
nado destroyed more than 100000
worth of property. The tornado
swept clean path Is miles long and
three-quarters of a mile wide in that
section. Eskridge's loss is placed at
$4,000.

WILL WITHDRAW CONsTABLEs.
What Blease Will Do if Dry Counties
Won't Pay.

Columbia, April 13.-Gov. Blease
announced to-day that, if in the
Greenville case the position taken by
Supervisor Goodwin is upheld by the
courts, he would withdraw constables
from the counties having no dispen-
saries.
In such counties the law provides
that the constables shall be paid out
of the regular county funds. This
the Greenville supervisor refused to
do. The governor is charged with
the duty of naming constables in the
counties to enforce the liquor laws.
In dispensary counties the expense is
met out of the liquor profits.

Delightful Fish Fry.

Olar April 14.-Our champion
fisherman, Capt w. K. Best, invited
a few friends to join him in a Good
Friday fish fry in Saltkehatchie river,

it is said that lit is the gift of poetry
to hallow the place in which it
moves so the writer concluded that
he would write up an account of it
in poetry which would knock all the
spots out of anything any of your
other correspondents would write, be-
cause mine would be poetry, and so
/ at first commenced this article
thus:

Just then / found that could not
not find any rhyme for Saltkehatchie,
and how the d-d-deuce can fellow
write poetry on a subject that he
could find no rhyme for, So l just
dropped down to common prose.
We put in for business about 3
o'clok in the afternoon, and by early
dark we had all the fish necessary
for pine bark fry, and it was not
nv intention to be personal in this
communication, but I must give some
praise to Mr.. G. E. Ritter for the fine
fry and the very excellent red-horse
bread that he made. There was a
big quantity of each one of these
left and by common consent this
was given to your scribe and the lady
folks at my house are epicures and
pronounced it just splendid.
The writer often thinks of re-
mark that one of your prominent
men of Bamberg who moved there
from this section once made. 1t was
this: s'The Edisto fish are good, but
nowhere that I have ever been have
I found fish with that fine flavor that
the fish of Big Saltkehatchie have, -
and I agree with this gentleman. But
what a pity they didn't give the
stream a more poetic name. But I
am not going back on our river at
all. You know that the Indians had
a tradition that whoever once bathed
or drank in this stream should they
ever be banished away, would return
or sigh to return to it's banks again.
This was said of Turkey Creek, and
Turkey Creek is a tributary to Salt
kehatchie. I am not young man
any more, and remember very well
when our own George Harrod, and
Ealy Williams and others were
forced to leave her borders, but they
all returned again, only for few
days, at the risk of their lives.
I intended to mention earlier that
our little party went down this
stream from historic old Rivers
bridge about three miles. We then
came to high and dry island, quite
favorable for camp. We found
plenty of dead, dry wood among the
beech trees, and we had such a good
fire till some of the party wanted to
spend all the night, but the majority
ruled and we all arrived safely home
