Adds distinction or "class" to your correspondence.
. It isn't only the business firm or professional man
who now raises his correspondence above the
mediocre through aid of the printer's art.
Just your name and address in neat lettering at top
or corner of the sheet will add an individual touch
that at once raises your letter above the dead level
of "ordinary".
The additional cost per letter is trifling.
But of course much depends on the printing.

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."

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.

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

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!'

but the program has not been outlined
further than Monday night.
