Special to The Leader-Enterprise.

Special to The Leader-Enterprise.
Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 19.-One
Georgia bank has taken a stand
in the cotton situation which if
followed, even on a smaller scale,
by other intitutions, will go a
long ways toward relieving the
present distress. Asa G. Cand-
Ter, head of the Central Bank
and Trust corporation, has an
nounced that his bank will lend 6
cents a pound on middling cotton
at the current interest rate, store
the bales and hold them until
July l, 1915, and longer if neces-
sary. Mr.. Gambler will take from
1000 to one million bales if offer
ed and put not only the banks
but his own private resources be-
hind the movement.
The loan plan will be extended
all over the state by connections
with small banks in nearly every
county. Loans will be made di-
rect to farmers and merchants.
Mr.. Gambler is ready to put thirty
million dollars into the fund, or
three times as much as all the
banks in this state are asked to
do under the st. Louis plan.

Bought at Home. "

When buying goods MADE in America" go just little
farther be little patriotic and BUY GOODS AT HOME
It is GOOD to buy goods made in America but
BETTER to buy them from HOME MERCHANTS
By buying American made goods you keep money in
circulation IN AMERICA But by buying those goods from
local merchants you keep in circulation AT HOME
Every and talks patriotism and likes to be
sdered patriotic
Let's practice what preach
Buy American made goods AT HOME-from our merchants
That is patriotism
incidentally to have your printing done home is also
evidence of patriotism.

A. r. GURREf SAYS
HiL0 FIRE LOSS Is
ABOUT $4,000

4 high tribute 10 the Hilo fire de
paFtment for the manner in which IL
handled the disaster in the Crescent
City on the morning of January ~
which, for a time, threatened to wipe
cut the little metropolis. is paid by A.
r. Gurrey, secretary of the board OF
fire underwriters, who returned 10 Ho-
nolulu yesterday after making a
detailed investigation Of the cause OF
the fire and the amount of the damage
done
Il could find no evidence which
would lead one to believe that the fire
was due to foul play" said Mr.. Cur.
rey. The Hilo fire department did
splendid work and the water supply
was good Superintendent Vanatta Of
the waterworks department had all
the water in the city turned off except
from those taps necessary for fighting
the fire, and therefore there was a
high pressure. If 1t had not been a
quiet night, I believe that all Hilo
would have fallen in the path of the
flames. The fire started under a fur
niture store, and was discovered by a
barber, who tried to put it out Fail
I ing in this, he called upon his neigh
bors, and there was a little delay in
informing the FIRE department"
Mr.. Gufrey estimated that the In
suranee loss will amount to about $11,
230, and the property loss a little less
than $4,000. The. person suffering
the greatest loss was the Japanese
who owned the new hotel which was
completely destroyed by the flames
1t is understood that all the insurance
the man had was to cover indebted
ness for lumber, and it is said that
personally he lost more than $4,000

GEORGE P. THiELEN
WILL BE PAID IF THE
SUPERVISORS SEE FIJI

George P. Thielen, stenographer for
the civil service commission during a
part of its hearing on the appeal OF
John r. kellett, will be paid for his
work if the board Of supervisors care
to act, according to the opinion hand
ed down yesterday afternoon by P. l..
Weaver, first deputy city and county
attorney.
For under this opinion. it is held
that the board has the right to pay
the debts of the civil. service COM
mission, even though they were con-
tracted without right or authority of
law. The board, contends Mr. Weaver,
can either allow or disallow the claims
CT the civil service creditors.
The ways and means committee is
expected to report out with recon-.
mendations on the payment of the
Thielea bill. 1t is understood that if
this bill is paid, others contracted by
the commission will likewise be paid.

SHIPE. N. PHELPS
LOST MANY
SAILS

The big American ship Erskine NJ.
Phelps, once the pride OF the round
the-IIOrn fleet in the sugar carrying
trade between the islands and the east
coast of the United States, now con-
rerted into an oil-tanker. is reported
TO be en- route to Honolulu following
an experience with a storm, that par
TALLY denGded the vessel of her sails.
The Phelps sailed from Port San
Luis 90 days ago, with a large ship
ment of fuel oil consigned to the To-
cal branch of the Associated Oil Com
pany.
According to a story that reached
Honolulu this morning with the re-
turn of the Matson Navigation steam
er Honolulan, the Phelps encountered
a gale OF much severity while the YES
sci was about 700 miles off the Cali
fornia coast. On January 18th the
ship was sighted and her master re-
ported that the main topgallant mast
and gear were carried away in addi-
Ition TO a number of the larger sec
tons OF canvas. II was first stated
that the Phelps was returning 10 San
Francisco in disabled condition. but
this rumor was pronounced by Coast
officials as absolutely unfounded.
The Phelps is due to arrive here
daily. 90

MAUI PHONE COMPANY ~
ANSWERS COMPLAINT -
OF EUGENE MURPHY

In answer TO the complaint recently
made by Eugene Murphy OF Waikiki,
Maui, to the effect that he is, being
over-eharged for telephone service, the
Maui Telephone Company has ad-
dressed a communication to the Pub
lie Utilities Commission setting forth
it's side OF the question and Offering to
install E pay station in Mr.. Murphy's
Office in case he is not satisfied with
the present system Of charges.
The communication, copy OF which
has been forwarded Mr.. Murphy, says
in part: r. - H..
This company has. ever since its
inception. made a monthly charge Of
IS for telephone service to Offices and
stores, except in instances where two
phones were used by the same sub
scriber. when the charge was reduced
to $3.50. There are, however, several
instances where this charge for Office
rent has been reduced to $3.50. For
instance. w. F. Crockett, lawyer. in
Waiiuku, has an Office phone for which
he pays only the lower rate on &C
count of his having been employed as
assistant county attorney and a great.
er part Of his time Is spent in the
county attorneys Office Therefore
his phone Is used very little, has.
much as the charge. of SIS per phone
has been made for the stores and OF.
fees on this island where conditions
are similar to Mr.. Murphy's. we do
not see any reason why any reduction
should be made in this charge, We
are. however, perfectly willing to m.
