MAUI IS AGIAN
SEEKING WHARF

That Maui people are at last awake
TO the necessity of extra wharves for
the central part of the island is shown
by the following letter, which was
read at the meeting of the harbor com
mission held yesterday afternoon:
CAT n meeting of the chamber of
commerce held in Waikiki on the 9TH
instant, special committee was mp
pointed to take up the matter of the
purchase of the Caudine wharf at Ka-
hului, as well as the construction of
wharf at Kihei; the expenditure of the
$4,000 appropriation for wharf on
that side of Maui.
"The special committee consists of
d. II. Case, ID. G.. Lindsay aud myself.
We understand that the plans for the
Kihei wharf are prepared. If this is
so, will you kindly send me a copy. We
also understand that the Maui loan
fund commission is willing TO receive
an allotment Of $4,000 less than it was
proposed to alot to Maui county from
the loan issued this year, provided this
$4,000 should be used in the construc-
tion of the wharf at Kihei, which
would make that appropriation avail
able this year. Again, it has been pro.
posed to defer the purchase of the Ka-
hului wharf for another year, asking
the next Legislature to repeal that item
in the loan appropriations, and invest
an item Of 100000 FOR q ships wharf
at Kihei, thus giving central Maui two
ship wharves, one owned and con-
troled entirely by the government,
and the other owned by the Kahului
Railroad Company but more or less
controlled by the government.
"We would like the opinion of the
harbor commission on the above propo
sition and whether the commission
would favor same or not.
"We desire to be informed, if pos
sible, of any proposed action by your
commission before action is finally
taken in the matter of these two
wharves Yours very truly,
"W. F. PoGUE."
Commissioner Wakefield wanted to
know what 100000 wharf was
wanted for at Kihei, anyway. Mr..
Campbell replied that practically
everything on Maui was connected
with the Kahului Railroad Company
and that the management could prob
ably answer the cOnundTum.
Commissioner Mccarthy favored
meeting the Maui people and thresh-
ing out the matter thoroughly on the
ground. II was decided TO ask the
Mauiites Ia prepare all possible data
on the matter for presentation to the
mombers of the commission when they
run over TO the Valley Island on busi'
ness bent.

frequent rumors of trouble with Mex
leo and the unrest in Central America.
At such times, say the military author
tiles, the citizen soldiers always re-
spond with the result that in both
strength and personnel the militia Is
the gamer. Reforms in transportation
and camp methods are expected to
grow out Of the maneuvers. The rec
concentrations Of the umpires will be
considered by the general staff In con-
nection with the lessons learned dur
ing the mobilization of the regulars on
the Mexican border some months ago.
The maneuvers, which lasted through
out eight days, cost close to $780,
600, of which the Federal government
provided S1,350,000, the various states
whose militia participated, making up
the balance. Army officers insist that
such a sum annually Is not enough to
get altogether satisfactory results and
congress will be importuned to be
more liberal in this direction in the
next army appropriation bill. In ad-
dition to the land maneuvers, the mi
litia reserve Of the coast artillery
along all of the Pacific coast and on
the North Atlantic seaboard as far
south as North Carolina, were given
target practice. The official scores had
not been received up to tonight, but
unofficial advices were to the effect
that some excellent marks had been
set. In connection with the coast ar
tillery, the troops in maneuvers at
Gray's harbor, was said to successful
ly have repulsed an invading force.

We are reproducing today open cor
respondence between Senator Tillman
and Governor Blease. In view of the
tense feeling that exists throughout
this state at this time, we recognize
that partisan comment is entirely out
of place. A very large per cent of &C.,
466 people will drink in every word of
what Senator Tillman says, as gospel
truth, and an equally large per cent Of
71,525 people will be as jealous in the
backing of what Governor Blease says.
Those who will take the trouble to read
and weigh what both say will find
that there Is very little real conflict
between them. AS earnest as Is Sen
ator Tillman, no less earnest is Gov
ernor Blease. There are some sparks
in the correspondence, but all men of
discernment and information will do
well to recognize that those sparks are
legitimate ones, the result of contact
of flint with steel That there have
been misunderstanding should be
clear to every man, and it seems to us
that every man will do we'll to use all
his best faculties in the reconciliation
of those Misunderstanding This Is
no time for SenSeleSS Growing or jeer-
ing. 1t is time only for sober reason.

An Aiken dispatch to the Augusta
Chronicle says that there are rumors
in Aiken to the effect that within
few days warrants will be served on
prominent citizens Of that city and
county, charging them with wholesale
vote buying and other election frauds.
On the morning of the election the
Chronicle published a story to the ef-
feet that there had been tremendous
changes in sentiment in Aiken during
the few days previous. and whereas the
county had generally been conceded
to be overwhelmingly for Gov. Blease
the sensation of the count would arise
out of the fact that Gov. Blease would
receive only about forty per cent of
the actual vote There was no reason
given for the alleged prospective
change. When the vote was counted 1t
showed Blease had 2,190 and Jones l.
926. With the large mill population in
Aiken county generally accredited to
Blease, it was difficult to see how the
vote could have been cut so much. 1t
is pretty generally conceded by those
best in a position to know that the
average mill worker is not a vote s IL
er. 1t is as difficult to buy the vote of
a mill worker as 1t is to buy the vote
of any other class of citizens. For any
man to try to do such thing is ex-

There has been entirely too much
falling out over the campaign through
which the state has just passed, and
most Of it has been unnecessary. AS to
which side is right and which side is
wrong only the Almighty knows. There
is probably a good deal of right and a
good deal Of wrong in both sides. We
have no doubt of the proposition that
there Is too much wrong on both sides.
Without the slightest desire to appear
wishy-washy or namby-pamby, we
want to say that while we are able to
justify a man in having the strongest
possible convictions as to the correct
ness of his own position on matters po-
litical. we cannot see how that man Is
going to get around conceding exactly
the same right to the other fellow. AS
a matter of fact, when man under
takes to deny the right Of the other
fellow to have views of his own, he
weakens his claim to the right Of his
own views. Common sense and COM
mon prudence suggest moderation in
things political.

ceedingly dangerous. This Is especi-
ally true as to the Office Of governor
where so many mill workers had their
minds made up so thoroughly. They
would not sell for any of the offices for
that matter; but as a rule, they are not
so much concerned about the other
contests, and very often are disposed
to yield to the suggestion of friends.
Then comes the puzzle as to how mon
ey can be used. 1t is a common thing
all over the state for mill oper-
atives to go to the polls in convey
ances furnished by candidates. That
has been a custom for years. 1t Is a
common thing too for men of popular
ity and influence around the mill,
whose politics Is understood by the
mill workers, to give their services
in marking tickets. The tick
ct marker Is supposed to be governed
solely by the wishes Of the voter as to
all offices; but where the voter does
not care. the ticket marker can get In
suggestions of his own. Just what
the alleged situation in Aiken county
is has not developed; but If there has
been any vote buying down there the
probability is that It has not been di-
rect. The probability is that the voter
has been deceived rather than bought.
1t may have been that the man who
was marking the ticket had sold out
and by slick deception got through
tickets for one man when the voter
thought he was voting for another.
But this Is to be taken as a state
ment Of what might have happened
rather than what actually happened.
The facts as to whether there has real
ly been vote buying by means of de-
ception or otherwise has not yet de-
veloped.

Against Great Odds.-The friends of
Gov. Blease may rightly claim a great
victory. Perhaps never q man had
such an array against him. The 10y
atty Of his friends may have been mis-
placed or 1t may have been right-at
any rate it was Of such a quality as to
excite respect.
Opposed to him were, we believe,
every congressman but one and both
United States senator's; the state
house officials almost without ex-
ception; every living former govern
or of the state and some former lead
ers, such as Richard l. Manning and
Thos. F. Raysor, the majority of the
lawyers of the state; the state medical
association; the state federation of
women's clubs; nearly all South
Carolinians residing in other states,
who were using their influence against
the governor, the press and the pulpit,
with few exceptions.
Over all these he won out through
the loyalty of his friends The 10y
aty of thousands Of good, honest men,
good women were given to the gov
his care the welfare, contentment and
happiness of the people of a great
state. While we oppose some of his
political policies, we are first of all for
South Carolina and her uplift and this
paper will not hunt for opportunities
to weaken his efforts in anything that
the governor may do for the good
of the people.-Anderson Daily Mail.

FOR THE STORM SUFFERERS.

Subscriptions for the benefit Of the
Clover storm sufferers continue to

THE STORM SUFFERERS.

1t Is just a month since that terrific
storm swept over Kings Mountain and
Bethel townships, destroying hundreds
of thousands of dollars worth of crops
to the great distress of hundreds of
farmers, and although many individ-
uals have come to the rescue, the relief
yet afforded Is hardly enough to make
itself felt.
OF course it has not been forgotten
that with all classes Of our people, es-
pecially farmers, this is the most
stringent period of the year financial
ly, august and September) and not
as much help Is to be had as at other
periods, still the case is urgent and
should be kept in mind against the
harvesting Of the crops.
Let 1t be remembered that as the re-
wards Of the years labors are coming
in to the people generally there is
practically nothing for the people liv-
ing in the storm stricken area, Hun
dreds Of those people will feel all the
inconvenience and distress Of actual
want, unless they are relieved, and
the only way whereby they can be re-
lieved is through the voluntary contr-
buttons of generous fellow citizens
who have been more fortunate.
Up to this time the receipts have
contributions of people who have felt
called upon to contribute, and the ef-
forts of a few individuals-two-M
srs. s. S. Faris and C. L. Cobb, who
have taken 1t upon themselves to make
canvasses and raise substantial sums.
From what has been done so far 1t
Is evident that the most effective way
to raise money for the relief Of these
storm sufferers is for individuals to
voluntarily take the matter up In their
respective neighborhoods and present
the thing to their neighbors. A large
per cent of the people to whom the
cause may be personally presented will
willingly respond and the aggregate
collections of one or more collections
in each neighborhood will amount to
something substantial.
Up to the present time. the commit
tee appointed by the governor to re-
ceive and disburse such contributions
as have been made by the people have
paid out no money. The committee
wants information as to how much 1t
will probably have to do with. so that
it can arrive at the most just and
equitable distribution of what 1t may
have.
But with the small amount now In
hand. there Is very little to be done.
