Kinastree Telephone Co.

The Kingstree Telephone Co Is
progressing rapidly with the work
of putting in its new metallic system
which is to supplant the old ground
ed one that has served its purpose
for number of years past.
Some months ago the company
was granted new franchise by the
town council, which gave its officers
permission to lay system of un-
derground cables in the main streets
of the town. The work of opening
the streets and laying these cables
was begun last week and will be
completed before the end of the
coming week. About 5000 feet OF
this lead cable containing, some OF
it, as many as 600 wires, has been
placed and in short time these lit
tie wires will be connected up with
a new and up-to-date switch board
in the company's| new building on
South Academy street. The Ca
bles are being laid eighteen inches
below the surface and are incased in
chemically treated cypress conduits.
The company's franchise and its
schedule of rates have recently been
ratified by the Railroad Commission
andeverything has been smooth sail
ing so far, with the exception of a
slight delay caused by the red tape
proceedings necessary in carrying
the cable through the railroad COM
pany's right of way, but this has all
been overcome and Mr. G O Epps,
manager of the Telephone Co, in
forms us that unless something en-
tirely unexpected should happen
the new system will be in working
order within the next two weeks.
When the new system is complet-
ed it will be permanent and will
have cost the company in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. Al of the un-
slightly old poles and cross-trees,
bending under their burden of wires,
will soon be done away with, then
the towns main thoroughfares will
at least present a more pleasing
aspect to the eye as one glances
skyward.

0ahu's Democrats are throwing down i gage OF

overlook, nor Is there any reason why they should
1t is the attack on the frontagetax and local i'm
proyeinent$ projects Under this tax.
The Democrats in their platform come out against
the frontagetak system. Their scheme. if they have
any scheme for carrying out the platform plank
means repeal Of the law, at least modification
which will be nothing less than mutilaton. 1T is
entirely inpracteabe ii is entirely nnwise; it is
the scheme Of obstiuctionists and demagogues.
The Republican party upholds the frontagetax
system But up TO date Republican stump speakers
and the. leaders who are directing the campaign
have not reached the frontage-tax issue. 1t is a
legitimate issue and the Star Bulletin believes that
If the Republicans accept the challenge boldly and
go at their adversaries with facts instead of hot air
il will be q winning issue.
Every taxpayers recognizes that when the Demo
Gratis put the frontage.tax system under fire they
made it campaign issue. They made it a serious
question Of controversy They forecast an attack
the system in the next Legislature. They indorsed
such obstrnctonist tactics as those Of their leader
Link McCandless, on the Beretania project
II the Republicans do not meet this issue on the
stump they met il in their platform, they will be
accused of sidestepping. There may be a tendency
on the part of few fainthe to sidestep this
pOint but the Republicans a whole have nothing
10 fear from vigorous discussion oft
The law hits the big property owners much harder
than the small ones its operation makes much
than the ordinary amount of labor on the roads ;
and the poor man will not, under the statutes pay
for improvements that do not benefit his property
Thus from the standpoint of campaign argument
the issue is good lighting tissue; and from the
standpoint of civic progress, it is sound issue,
RIGHT CAUSE In the three weeks of the cam
paign which are left we should like to see some Of
the able Republican speakers put in few straight

JOHN HUGHESlS
BOOSTER DELIKE
DOWN in TEXAS
Honolulu Finest City in World,
With Best People of
Universe

John Hughes of Honolulu is some
booster"
Recently he visited in San Antonio
and the Express interviewed him.
Whereupon the following article re-
suited
See Naples and Die the aphor-
ism invented by the ancients TO de-
scribe the marvellous beauty of the
sunny Italian city, in modern times
well might be applied to Honolulu,
Hawaii, the beautiful city of the
south seas, according to John A.
Hughes, supplies contractor to the
Oahu Railway, which serves the isl
and on which Honolulu is situated
with transportation. Mr.. Hughes is
visiting Brother Bertram of St. Louis
College. who formerly resided in
Honolulu. He is registered at the
ST. Anthony
Honolulu has the finest electric
car line in the world" Mr.. Hughes
said last night. at has more tele-
phones per capita than any city in
the Caited States. 1t has more auto
riGbiles than any American city ex-
GLIDING few of the larger ones. 1t
has hotel which cost $2,000,000.
at has the most eQuable climate,
the most honest business men, and
the kindliest people in the wide
world
THE chief interest in the islands
now? II is to see Mr.. Hughes elect
ed. Hawaii is enjoying boom be-
cause of the high price of sugar due
to the European war. But it is so
dependent on sugar, pineapples and
Other fruits that it is bound hard
and fast to tariff on these products.
The revocation of the tariff on sugar
by the Democratic party in line with
its principles of free trade, would
have brought a business depression
to the islands had it not been for
the world war. Honolulu cannot
compete in the eastern part of the
United States with Cuba in sugar
because of the high freight rate from
the islands to the mainland The
rate on sugar from Honolulu to San
Francisco Is 81 ton.
Sugar is selling for sos ton.
Before the war it was $50. The
Oahu Railway handles annually 200,-
900 tons of sugar. Before the rail-
way was built the island produced
only 1000 tons. The railway has
700 thirty-ton cars for the transpor-
tation of sugar and twenty-five loco
motives. The cars are built in the
island The locomotives are imported
from the United States. The railroad
is owned by Americans and run on
American principles.
Zone hundred thousand tons of
pineapples are exported from Homo
lulu annually.
Honolulu is a territory. Under a
special law it has one of the finest
guard corps of any of the states.
The corps now includes 5000 men,
well trained and equipped. When
the president called the National
Guard of various states to the border,
the governor of Hawaii sent a special
messenger to washington to offer the
services of the Hawaiian guard for
duty on the mainland"

STATUS OF THE LUsITANIA CASE.

4 reader of the Star Bulletin writes TO ask the
present status of the Lusitania case 1t might be
described as stationary but unsettled The Busi-
tana was torpedoed and sunk on May Z, 1915. and
on May 13 the president sent note to Germany
asking satisfaction for the killing of Americans on
the Illsitania Falaba and Outright. Since then
negotiations with Berlin have pregressed-and re-
Progressed through series of notes enquiries
diplomatic memoranda. Two or three times Wash
ington has announced that great victory for dip
lomacy and peace had been and the Lusitania
ease virtually settled, but on September -. 1916
less than month ago--Secretary Lansing admitted
that further negotiations on the Lusitania ease
would probably be taken up soon.
While exchanges were being had with Berlin ON
the Eusitania outrage, the French Channel steamer
Sussex was attacked with loss of 80 lives and
the endangering of Americans. The United States
sought reparaton for this and meanwhile the Lusi
tania case languished. Prior to that it had been
announced that Germany had complied "substan
tally with the demands of the United States in the
Lustania case, but it is now admitted that the
question of proper indemnity remains to be set
tied
The president and the state department have
refused to let the public know whether Germany
has complied fully with the pledge given the United
States in the Sussex case and the public is equally in
ignorance as to what Germany's substantial" com
pliance in the Lusitania case meant. But the
charge has been made-and without official denial
that diplomatic correspondence showing that
Germany has only partially complied with the T..
5. demands has been suppressed in Washington.
There is good reason to believe that strict account
ability was considerably modified by the president
when Germany refused to yield to the demands of
