Box S3 Printers" Southerners Sore At Prof JlcCluskey Resent Interview He Gave Regarding Educational and Other Conditions In North Carolina. Prof. William McCluskey, supervis ing principal of Maul, has come in for a scries of warm roasts from the newspapers of the section of North Carolina, where he spent the last two years, on account of an Interview ho gave with a Honolulu newspaper up on his return. In that interview Prof. McCluskey was not particularly com plimentary to the Bection of the south in which he had been living, describ ing a lynching bee which he had wit nessed in part, and asserting that North Carolina is far behind Hawaii in matters educational. The Charlotte Daily Observer, of Macklenburg County, North Carolina has the following to say editorially concerning rrof. McCluskey's state' ments: "Prof. William McCluskey of Hono hilu, former superintendent of cduca tion of Macklenburg county, has a number of friends in this community who are grievously disappointed at the representations he has been pleased to make of the people of Mecklenburg. His interview in the Honolulu paper, copied in The Obser ver, yesterday, was the subject of a good deal of talk and none of it of a complimentary kind. Those who fel lowshipped with Mr. McCluskey would not have supposed that he would be guilty of slurring a people among whom he has resided and had work ed. He had formed a mighty good opinion of the people of Mecklenburg during the fifteen days of his rest dence here up to the time of the Farmers' Institute held at Carolina School House on August 14, 1913. The eulogy he pronounced on them at the time is still fresh in the minds of those who were thrilled by bis elo quence. The matter may be presented most pointedly through the aid of the 'deadly parallel,' and we shall give what he said at the school- house on the date mentioned, with what he -is quoted as having said in Honolulu." McCLUSKEY THEN I want to express my apprecia tion of the hearty and cordial co operation that the intelligent peo ple of Mecklenburg have given mo and the cordi.il reception extend ed me. Mecklenberg is a great county and I believe her people are the best in the world. Your teachers are progressive, your people are enterprising and your young boys and girls as bright as any I ever saw anywhere. I am glad my. lot has been cast among them. You are advancing along progressive educational ideas. McCLUSKEY NOW The Mecklenburg people are stranded on the rocks of the an cient classics. They still posses to a large degree the old English idea of an education, yet their teaching staffs are not education ally equipped to teach classics. That country is forty years, yes, half a century behind Hawaii in education. It has not taken to modern teaching much yet, though the idea is germinating. They have an agricultural school at Raleigh, the State Capitol, but from what I learned it is not given much serious attention yet, the people have not awakened to up-to-date farming. Disappointed In Professor "Mr McCluskey recounts his per sonal observations of a mob in Char lotte and also tells of his narrow es cape from being treated likewise by an angry gathering of several hu'n dred 'Crackers' as further evidence of benighted condition in this part of the country. The fact that Mr. McCluskey is a man of intelligence makes the dis appointment in him the greater. It is just a well that he was not given op portunity for a longer stay among a people whose civilization he appears to have been working for unaware to them." Dr. Burt Hears of Record Flight of Carrier Pigeon Dr. F..Purt, the well known gov ernment physician of Lahaina, has handed the "Maui News" a news paper account of a 2200 mile flight of a messenger pigeon, which is be lieved to establish a record. Dr. Burt was aware that the test was to be made, and is especially infeiested in it for that reason. He believes that the accomplishment of the little bird in question will also be of interest to others and especially to school child ren. The article in question follows: 'C. D. Miles, who is on the coast favors the ReflectorHerald with a recent copy of the Los Angeles Ex press, containing an account, on its first page, of the remarkable flight of the homing pigeon released from the factory of the A. B. Chase com pany, on the morning of Aug. 25. The articles reads as follows: "After winging its way 21i00 miles Ben Bolt, a pigeon belonging to George H. Skolfield, 4610 South Gram ercy place, now 1b tho champion homer of the world. 'The bird flew from Norwalk, O., to Los Angeles in 5 days and 9 hours. It arrived at its pen in the rear of the Skolfield home yesterday and will be inspected today by representatives of the Los Angeles Messenger Pigeon association. Ben Bolt's performance in all prob ability will be put down aa the official world's record." Relief. 'When I sing I get tears in my eyes. What can l ao for tins? "Stuff cotton in your ears. Chica o Tribune. On the Other Islands Johannes Eckardt, for 36 years su perintendent of the Queen's Hospital, Honolulu, has resigned on account of ill health. He sailed this week for the coast, where he goes to consult medi cal specialists regarding his condition. D. S. Dowman, chief sanitary in spector of the island of Hawaii, was seriously injured last week by be ing thrown from a fractious horse. The animal stepped on his chest frac turing three ribs and inflicting other injuries. Last Pacific Mail Ship Sails. With the sailing of the Manchuria for the coast on Wednesday, the last vessel of the Pacific Mall Company has visited these islands. The vessel with others of the fleet, have been sold and will go to the Atlantic. v Weekly Market Letter HONOLULU, September 27. There has been very little change in the con dition of tho market during the past week. There are many bananas in the J- B.-kct due r the r.(( t t-nt only small shipments are bein? made to the Coast. Several growers on Hawaii and Maui who would like to 6h!p banana:-: cannot secure space. Pineapples have been scarce for two or three weeks but it is thought that trom now on the Division will be able to get enough to fill its orders on the mainland. The price of pork has dropped a lit tie due to heavy receipts. It appears as though the price would stay fixed lor sometime to come. The Division has. received two lots of specially fattened Muscovy ducks trom Mokapu. They are selling read ily to people who appreciate good poultry. The man who is raising these ducks is doing everything in his power to put an excellent article on, the market, and he should have the patronage of all poultry buyers. By a recent boat from Kauai we re ceived a large consigned of sweet corn which sold quickly at a good price. The man who can produce good sweet corn all the year around is sure of a ready market and good profit. It must not be grown too near field corn. Island potatoes are Belling at a good price considering the price of Califor nia potatoes. Tho demand is fairly good. There is good demand for fat Island poultry but poor stock a drug on the market. When sending poor poul try, a farmer should not expect to get high prices. Work on the marketing building is progressing satisfactory and it Is hoped that the contractor will have it completed before the time limit ex pires. A. T. LONGLEY, , Supt.

"& tt- Maui Theaters tt .....,,..,....,,.,......., ., . .....,.., ...tt The theatre goers of Wailuku have been favored with several big feat ures of a very high order this week, among them being the "The Lone Star Rush," "The Adventures of Kathlyn," one of the great serial pic tures of the day; "The Wizard of Oz," "Wnat Happened to Jones," ad others. This evening, the third epi sode of "The Adventures of Kathlyn" and five other reels will be. played. Next week, the Valley Isle Theatre will have, among other great five act features, "Jack Chanty." "May Blos son," and the great serial known as "The Diamond from the Sky" are now bein gployed in Honolulu. Also tfte great Annette Kellermann will be sern again on the screen as it has been returned to Honolulu from the coast. Sixteen members of the Hawaiian band, under Mr. Amasiu, are expect ed at aLhaina next week at the in vitation of Lahaina residents. On he recent Kauai trip, they have assured the management of the Valley Isle Theatre that they would come to Wai luku. The sixteen who will came here are carefully selected from the lead ing members of the band and will be an added attraction for Wailuku dur ing their sojourn here. -ft- Lahaina Enterprise Gets Hawaiian Band Lahaina is to be the goal of a large number of central Maui persons to morrow and Sunday, and the reason is the visit of the Hawaiian band of Honolulu, which will arrive there by the Claudinc tonight for an extended visit. There will be a concert for tomorrow afternoon, at 2 o'clock, and a dance in the armory In the evening, at which the Honolulu musicians will supply the music. On Sunday after noon tho Hawaii baseball team will again play the Lahaina team at Kaa- napall, and the band will be on hand to help the rooting. On Monday night' the musicians will supplement the picture attractions at tho Pioneer theatre. The Hawaiian band began its vaca ion today, and will be at its own de vices for one month. The whole band is not coming to Maul, but there will be sixteen musicians in the party, besides Mrs. Alapai, the well known vocalist. The visit was arranged by Lahaina people, who raised a fund to cover tho expenses of the trip. The!' will probably be other concerts than above mentioned during next week, but the program has not been outlined further than Monday night.
