NO CLASS DISTINCTIONS
Attempts to Stir Up Trouble Here
Will Fail.

Editor Of the Banner.-lt is
strange that new Corners in our
community always claim to konw
our necessities better than we do.
am not in the Pageant either as u
performer or promoter, but it amused
me to see Mr. Spargos letter on the
high prices to be charged at the per
formances. If | had been TO Mr.
Charles A. Wood the proprietor OF
the Bennington Opera House, and
asked him upon what class Of patrons
he relied for the support Of the opera
house in giving performances with
rates varying from fifty cents TO one
dollar, he would unhesitatignly have
replied-"The wage Garner" The
people of Bennington are not objects
of charity. They do not need to
have subscriptions raised so that
they can attend performances and
what is more, there is no prouder
class in our community than its wage
earners. The Pageant to be given
here does not differ from those given
in other parts of the country at
which like prices have been charged
and will serve to awaken patriotism
and to advertise Bennington The
dangerous part of Mr., Spargo's letter
is his attempt to create class dis
tinction and awaken animosities. We
will any of us use our efforts to blot
out so called class distinctions and to
show that "a mans man or athat. "
Bennington is place where one man
is as good as another and we mean
to keep it so. Attempts to awaken
enyies and jealousness will not be
cordially welcomed.
Yours sincerely.

Kegel Club Gives
Farewell To Nicolai

The headquarters of the members
of the Kegel Club-the recognized
social center of Lihue-was t h e
scene of another of its extremely
popular social functions last week,
when the members met in & farewell
assembly to Gus Nicolai who leaves
for Honolulu shortly after a number
of years residence in Hanamaulu,
being Chief engineer of the Hama
maulu Mill. Preiiminaries, con-
sisting of a bowling contest having
been disposed of, an abundant sup
ply of refreshments were served.
Pres. Wolters made the opening
speech, dwelling effectively upon
the efficiency of Mr.. Nicolai as a
workman, his value to the club as
a member, the regret OF the club at
his loss and on behalf of the club,
wished brother Nicolai unbound
ed success in his new field. Many
others followed President Wolters
in his address, each of whom spoke
in highest praise of Mr.. Nicolai and
d e eply regretted his departure
Mr.. Nicolai, responded with much
feeling, saying among other things
that he appreciated the many
pleasant remarks to which he ha6
listened with much feeling and that
he would always consider his resi-
dence here as the happiest period
of his life. He then thanked the
members of the club for their hos
pitality and concluded by wishing
the club continued success.
Mr.. Nicolai leaves Hanamaulu tc
accept a position with the Honolulu
Iron Works, with whom he severed
his connection to accept the position
which he now relinuuishes.

Much speculation has arisen as to
how it could have reached our
shores, and the only means of its
conveyance, is attributed to the
action of OCEAN currents. Whether
this piece of wood is in any way
connected with the wrecked Asia
or not, there is no doubt that there
lies hidden in its history, evidence
o some equally disastrous a
tagedy. t
