FOR SUGAR ONLY

WASHINGTON, January 5.-The Ill
ing of complaints with President Taft
and Secretary of the Interior Fisher
against Walter F. Frear, governor of
Hawaii, by Prince Kalanianaole of Ha-
waii today brough the fight against
Governor Frear near a climax. The
complaint charges that Governor Frear
has failed to administer the public
lands law so as to encourage the Gre
alton of a class of citizen proprietors
holding moderate areas, and that his
administration has been in the inter
est of the sugar planting corporations
and to the prejudice of the small-home-
steaders.

AT the time the franchise was
granted to the telephone company
this was a small community and any
kind of service was acceptable. With
the growth of the community and the
extension of the business the de-

similar to those of a thriving city on

telephone equipments have been
vastly improved during the past ten
years; yet We have here in use instru-

companies have relegated to the junk

use of party lines results in a nerve

here that this grade OF oil has gone
up in price recently from $3.50 to

Kentucky's Coolest Day.

Kentucky has experienced some
pretty cold weather already this
winter and unless all signs fail it
will be much colder ere the rob
ins nest again" But II was IN
the winter of 1899, according to
the records of the oldest inhabit-
ant that it was really cold enough
to satisfy those mythical individu-
ais who just simply dote on cold,
bracing weather. II had been pret-
ty chilly all winter then February
came along with its ice, snow sleet
and everything that makes the kind
of winter these people Cdon't)
like, and on the night of the thir-
teenth the mercury dropped to 80
degrees below zero, and the sort
of folks we have been writing about
were simply delighted, manifesting
their joy by orowding everybody else
away from the fire.

Box Car Destroyed by Fire.

About A o'clock last Friday morn
ing box car near the G. q o..
freight depot, this city, was dis
covered to be on fire and in very
short time the car and its contents
We're entirely destroyed, An alarm
was sounded as soon as the fire
was seen and the fire department
soon responded Nothing could be
done to save the car, and it was
only the excellent work of the fire
men that saved the depot. Great
chunks of burning wood were blown
in all directions, and for awhile it
seemed that other property would
be set on fire. Henry Gaines camp
car was near the box car but it
was pushed out of danger.
The contents of the burned car
consisted of large number of val
uable wooden patterns used by the
government engineer in the CON
struction of the various improve
ments of the river at this point and
elsewhere, They had just been load
ed in the car for shipment, Their
money value is estimated at $4,000.
Aside from their intrinsic worth
they We're valuable because it will
be difficult to replace them.
Very few except those living in
the vicinity OF the depot knew of
the fire until next day,

A Poet t-BishOp.

Bishop Hoss, of the NJ. E. Church
South has national reputation as
an ecclesiast ic but it is doubtful
if many know him to possess the
gift of poesy. The following would
be a credit to the hymnology of
any church. 1t is written in long
meter:
"Oh Heart of Mine"
BY Bishop E. E. Hoss.
o heart of mine, be brave and
strong.
Though nights be dark and days be
long;
Above all clouds the skies are
clear,
And why shouldst thou have coward
fear?
Thy Father is enthroned on high;
Thou livest ever in His eye.
His goodness doth thy footsteps
guide;
He marcheth always at thy side.
Finch not when enemies abound
And perils compass thee around;
But let thy aims be pure and grand,
And firm as granite hills thy stand.
If thou must fight on any field.
Maintain thy front and spurn to
yield
When tides of battle surge and
roll;
Show thou the temper of thy soul,
OF victory thou canst not fail
The promise is: Thou shalt pre-
vail"
Then lift aloft thy banner bright;
Strike hard and home for God
and right.
