The growth was smaller and sparser
now and before long he came, on the

over the whole place hung an inde-
scribable atmosphere of disconsolate
Nth. OF unredeemed squalor and vile
ness.
With one hand on the dogs collar,
hushing him to silence, Valiant, un-
seen. looked at the wretched place
with shiver. He had glimpsed many
wretched purlieus In the slums of
great cities. but this. In the open sun

and the sweet clear blue above, stood
out with an unrelieved boldness and
contrast that was doubly sinister and
forbidding. He knew instantly that
the tawdry corner was the community
known as Hell'sHalf-Acre. the place
to which Shirley had made her night
ride to rescue Hickey Snyder.
A quick glad realization of her cour.
age rushed through him. On it's heels
came a feeling of shame that spot
like this could exist. foul blot on
such q landscape. 1t was on his own

squatter sovereignty, but he was,
nevertheless. their landlord. The
thought bred a new sense of RESPONSE

As he gazed, an uproar in q cabin
reached a climax. A red.bearded fig.

SYSTEM IN STATE.
Il. B. StackhOusc, Of Columbia Dis
cusses Cotton Situation.

II. b. StackhOuse Of Columbia,
president of the Standard Warehouse
company, of Columbia, has prepared
the following for the Manufacturers
Record.
THE Standard Warehouse company
OF this city was organized in 1905,
with paid-in capital stock of $347,-
800, and since the organization has
operated warehouses for the storage
OF cotton at Columbia, Greenville.
Anderson, Greenwood, Newberry and
Orangeburg, all of South Carolina.
1.-The company has warehoused
more than 100000 bales of cotton each
year, issuing the owner it's receipts,
which is acceptable as collateral by
banks in all of the money centres of
this country at the very lowest pre-
vailing rates of interest.
I'm the handling of about 1000, 900
Daies Of cotton there has not been a
single loss of cotton, or of money ad-
vanced against the cotton. The
banks located in the cotton States
have not been able to finance any
considerable portion of the cotton
crop and at the same time finance
the growing Of another crop, and thus
enable the farmer to distribute the
sale of his cotton throughout the year,
instead Of forcing it on the market
in about three months, as was done a
few years ago.
BY storing the cotton with a strong
warehouse company the grower, buy
er and manufacturer are enabled to
finance it with banks in all of the
money centres, thus securing the best
interest rate, which relieves the local
banks and enables them to furnish
the money necessary to grow another
crop.
THE general adoption of such q
warehousing plan by the cotton pro-
ducins States would, in any opinion,
result in the grower securing better
prices for his cotton and in insuring
a more stable price. thus helping the
buyer and manufacturer. as we'll as

Final Steps Taken Saturday In
Organization To Rival The
Chamber of Commerce

The final step toward the organisa.
tion Of the Hawaiian Protective ADso-
citation, recently inaugurated with
Delegate Jonah Kuhio Kaianiana0le as
president, was taken Saturday evening
when several hundred Hawaiians and
Honolulu residents of other natiOnali-
ties gathered in Aala park and listen
ed to several speakers vino outlined
the aims and purposes of the new be-
neyoIent society.
That the Hawaiian race should be
Hperpetuated; that the Hawaiians
should devote more thought to tenn
Fperance and education, and that
the Hawaiian Protective Association
should, through cooperation, become
elevated to the same level as that now
occupied by the Chamber OF Commerce
and other local civic and commercial
organizations, was the gist of an ad-
dress delivered by Chief Justice A. q.
M. Robertson.
In order to make the Hawaiian Pro-
tective Association success, said the
chief justice, it is necessary ti1at the
Hawaiian people be educated on poinls
of economy, temperance and general
thriftiness. He urged that the Tia
waiIans in the territory stand united in
their support of the assOcfatiQti, ana
advised the Hawa1ians to cease from
mortgaging their lands too heavily and
although he stated that he was not
q prohlbItIonist--to abstain from the
use Of liquor.
One of the strong points OF Mr.
Robertsons address was his appeal
for the domestic life of the Hawailans,
in tnat it must be protected from rum
alton, as he put it.. He cised occasions
where persons other than HaWaiiars
have contributed to the delinquency Oh
hawaiian girls, and stated tnat It is up
to the parents in the matter OF pro-
tec.ing their girls from submitting to
temptation. The chief justice added
that the time now has come when the.
Hawalians must get together and learn
more of that brand Of civilization
which exists outside the Hawaiian
islands. The HaWaIians must become
more modern. he said He urged that
the Hawaiian race, which be expIain-
ed is fast dying out, be perpetuated
