POPULATION OF HAWAII
Commenting onf tl;e trial of
annexation of the Hawaiian Is
lands which was sent.to the Sen
ate last week by President Mc
. Kinley the Philadelphia Record
, ..saj's : . '
"The President, also says in his.
message to "the Senate that the
islands are ''largely settled by
our own people;" and this
brings ns to the question of Sir
William Jones as to what con
stitutes a "State, which vastly
transcends in -importance the
commercial and military consid
erations attached to the acquis
ition of the Hawaiian Islands.
Of the population of Hawaii :
estimated in January, 1895, at
101, 001 the returns show that
:4,4o0 are natives or Kanakas,

from other South Sea islands.
The white .population consists
of 8002 Portuguese, 1028 Amer
icans, 1344 Englishmen, 1034
Dutch, 227 Norwegians, 70
Frenchmen, 410 -subjects of oth
er .Governments and 7405 chil
dren of foreigners. In this
Strang -ly heterogeneous popula
tion which is to be converted in
to citizens of the United States
"our own people" .do. -not figure
so far as numbers go, to any
thing like the extent that-might
'be. inferred from President Mc
Kinley's language.'
'.'It is se'en that of the inhabi
tants of Hawaii' an extremely
small proportion are of Europe
an origin. Tlie rest are natives
or 'Asiatics.- Such is the popu
lation which" the Republican
statesmen propose to incoporate
into the American Union. For
the. sake of tire foolishly exag
gerated .commercial and strate
gical advantages of this acquis
ition they are resolved to erect
this leprous swarm into an
American Commonwealth how
does this mee the noble defini
tion of what constitutes a State ?
What compensation will the su
gar and rice and cocoa of these
Pacific Islands afford for so de
graded and filthy a political as
sociation?" i
Claretta Nola Avery, a colored
girl eleven years of ager created
a good deal of excitement among
negrosof Wilmington bv her
preaching. She is uneducated
but seems to be well acquainted
with the bible for one so young.
She does nothing but preach go
ing to nearly all the large cities.
She claims to have been conver
ged at 18 months of age and
.commenced preaching at seven
years old. She left Wilmington
Monday for Philadelphia where
shehas an engagement in a whi
church.
For several days flaming re
ports llave gone out in regard
to the.meeting at Benson which
was announced in these col
umns two weeks ago, and tlie
reports were so various that a
reporter visited Benson Tues
dav in' order to get at the facts,
which we give as near as pos
sible below :
Evangelist Leavitt claims
that he does not preach a san
tification that makes one ab
solutely perfect and sinless, in
fact he does not call it sanctifi
cation but a baptism of the
Holy Ghost. lie believes in
and preaches a steady growing
in 'grace, and that after death
a consummation- of sanctifica
tion. He claims this as the
old-fashion, genuine religion ;
that the believer must take the
perfection of Christ and Make
Him the standard and aim at
Him. t
This part we suppose Mr.
Campbell heartly indorsed. For
several day's - the meeting pro
gressed nicely and all pointed
to a crowning success, but ai

WHAT IS THE LAW:

It is said
Watson
of Georgia is

that Tom

that a -new. national- committee
can be appointed. ..lie 'does
not like chairman Marion But
Tor's '.-position and wants to rele
gate him from the head of the
populist party. Tom don't see
any chance for him to control

He wants to lead and he will
lead his party to its death if he
has a chance. Let the good
work go on.
t ween the ministers. At the"
beginning of the services Evan
gelist Leavitt called for a few
sentence prayers by any who
felt the spirit of prayer. This
was responded to by some la
dies verv briefly. From this
point a division, arose, - Mr.
Campbell claiming that Paul
forbid the women sneaking in
public etc., but suggested that
the matter be discussed private
ly as the tent was not the. place
for discords. This Evangelist
Leavitt refused to do and said
as the matter had arisen in
public it should be settled like
wise, and 'for . some little time
both .ministers - defended their
honest views. Mr. Campbell
quoting Paul's writing in which
he said, it is a shame for women
to speak &c, while Evangelist
Leavitt quoted from Joel where
it reads, I will pour out my
spirit upon all flesh &c. The
debate was in good feeling be-'
t ween them, each speaking from
truthful and honest convictions,
The discussion aroused consul;
erable reeling under the tent
and many were in tears weep
mg bitterly while the men of
God proceeded to settle the
question from whence arose the
division. '

ed the organ and table from the
tent, and gave Leavitt the priv
ilege of using the .bell if he
would pay the sexton.
Mr. Campbell has not at
tended the meetings since Tues-
C rimes.
Under this heading we do not
propose : to notice the crimes
that are of such character that
everybody takes notice of, and
are called, bv our law-writers
"MALLA PER:'' SEE," bllt Ollly
such that are mall a pro hi bit a ,
and are but thought Of and are
onlv noticed bv those who are
diligent to know what is the
law. A crime or misdemeanor!
is an act committed or omitted!
in violation of a law, either for
bidding or cominoding it.
Profanity of the Lord's day,
generallv called Sabbath-break-ing,
is very justly a crime both
i at common law as well as a viola
tion of the statute law.
Drunkenness is a crime at
common law; Which law should
appeal more strongly to the
oaths of grand jurors and oth
er conservators of the peace than
what it does do.
it any omcer snail nave any
prisoner in charge and shall bv
too great duress make such
prisoner become an appellor or
an appellee against his will
against some otner person com
mits a crime, for the law does
not favor exciting an 3' person
even to a just accusation of an
other.
T "
it is a crime to in anyway
obstruct the execution of any
lawful process. It is a crime
for an person" in prison, or un
der arrest, to escape from the
same asvell in tlie person es
caping as in the officer from
whom they escaped. It is

the reign of Queen Victoria, of

Navy was represented by a

The democrats, populists and

lay. His reason for not at
tending is that he fears his
presence would be a hinderaiice
to the cause.
Several conversions were re
ported up to yesterday-, bud
tiey hope great and lasting
good will yet be accomplished.
We are indeed : sorry the
t rouble arose between these' two
men, and hope all will 'be bridg
ed, over and all' 'will yet come
out well. Mr. Campbell is
pastor of the church at Benson
and is an excellent Christian
gentleman, and a fine scholar of
the scripture. Evangelist Leav
itt comes' well recommended
and is an able preacher.. Thev
have both been honest and the
difference has been in good feel
ing as was proven yesterday by;
their beinjg, together,- and yet
there is hope that great and
lasting good will be accomplish
ed in the little town of Benson.
LATER NEWS;
This morning at S :30 o'clock
a telegram was received from
Benson stating that the tent
was burned last night, the work
of some dirty, low-life, under
minding, weak-kneed coward,
who visited the tent I and put a
match to it. We have not yet
learned if any clue as to the
scoundrel who did the act has
been ascertained, but it is hop
ed he may- be caught and dealt
with to the extreme 'extent of
the law. Services will be- held
to-day and will probably
until Sunday. A
go Oil
At Bogart, Ga., Saturday
afternopn Walter Norris, aged
16 3-ears, was struck by light
ning and killed while standing
on the porch. He had a balry
time which
a
crime lor one person to tree an
other from arrest or imprison
ment. It is a crime for one
person to stir-up suits, quarrel
etc., between other people and
is ealledin law Barretry. Main
tenance is a crime and consists
of being officious, intermeddling
111 a law suit that no way be
longs to the person so intermed
dling. Tlie knowing of the commis
sion 01 a crime by some certain
person, and not revealing the
information is a crime, and is
called in law "compounding
ofhences.
Tlie agreement , of two or more
persons to do an unlawful thing
or act, or not to do a lawful
thing is a crime, and . is called
in law, conspiracy-. An attempt
to influence a j,ury, corrupts to
one side, by .. promises, persua
sions, entreaties, money-, enter
tainments and the like, is a
crime, and is called in law Em
bracery. A riotous assembling
consists of the assembling of
twelve or more persons; for an
unlawful purpose, and not dis
persing when commanded to do
so by a proper officer, and a
riotous assembling will per see
be a conspiracy.
An affray (from the word
affra'ier to terrify) is defined by
tlie law-writers to be , the fight
ing of two or more persons in
some, public place to the terror
of tin; public, but it has been
held in this State -that for one
person to go about dangerously
and unusually- armed that he
thereby- commits an affray. '
Forcible entry or detainer is
a crime and consists in -violently-taking
or keeping possession
of land and houses with force
and arms and without the au
thority of law. "
Riding or going armed with
dangerous or unusual weapons
is a crime, and might possibly
fall under the head of an affray.
The selling of unwholesome pro
visions and whiskey- is a crime
that is often committed and
nevcu- p u n i s h e d upon the
grounds we suppose of an elas
tic conscience. The writers on
criminal law tell us that "Un-
dey the head of public, economy
may also be-property ranked all
sumptuary- laws against luxury
and extravagant expenses in
diet, dress, and the like ; con-
cerning tne general utility or
subjects to a state there is much
'controversy among political
writers. Baron lays it down that
luxury is necessary- in monarch
ies, but ruinous to democracies,
with regard therefore, to Eng
land whose government is com
pounded of both species it may-
still be a dubious question how
far private luxury is a public
evil and as such cognizable by
public law. Formerlv there.
was a multitude of penal laws
existing to restrain in excess ap
parel chiefly made in the reign
of Edward III, Edward IV, and
Henry- VIII, against piked
shoes, short doublets and loiif
coat ; and to excess - in diet
there still remains one ancient
be served with three."5 We j
suppose in those days they had
no breakfast and as to where
the last quoted law applies here
or not, the courts must sat, but
we are said to be English speak
ing people, and it may fipply
at least we are not wearing pik
ed shoes nor veiy long coats , and
in order to avoid more tliahtwo
courses at dinner eat breakfast.
If 'one --person aids and abets
or assists in advice or counsel
or encourage another person to
commit a crime, and that per
son does commit the crime both
are equally guilty before, the
law ; and if a person comriiits a
felony and another assist; him
in escaping or conceals the fel
on that is a crime. - I
While tlie law is just and cor
rect, its office is to make the
people so, and whilst it does
not favor any- one in being ac
tive to become a witness or in
former against another ;; it is
equally in favor of everyone do
ing exactly- right, and if a, per
son knows that a person has
been committed commits a
crime in not making known the
fact because a crime is in of
fence against each citizen of the
State, and it is an injustice to
ones ownself to know that a
crime lias been committed and
thus conceal it. More anon.

In the issue of The Union of
June 9th., I see a paragraph un
der the head of "Mingo Sparks"
from the pen of "Stub" contain
ing these words : " Quite a pecu
liar way- of deciding law occur
red in Sampson recently. A
case was before a J. P. and af
ter hearing the evidence he
made reference to his dictionaiy
to decide the case. j
Now this upon its face is rath
a small matter to take notice
of, but as- we presume that
"stub" has reference to disease
of Owen vs. West tried before
J. D. Williams, J. P., and as
we were counsel in the case, we
will not let a little dirty sling
be made at the honest action of
an honest, upright competent
court without "striking" back.
Every person who knows Mr.
Williams knows him to be an
upright, high-toned christian
gentleman, and one of the most
competent magistrates in the
whole county-, and the would be
strike of "Stub," with his cud
gle of knowledge, emenates from
motives other than those lor a
high regard for the courts and
laws of our land. .
"Stub" displays much-', more
ignorance on his part than he
does on the part of the court
when he say-s that it was a "pe
culiar wiry to decide" the law,
to have reference to a dictionary
for there is not an intelligent
fair-minded man in the State,
but what knows that tne Su
preme court has "reference to a
dictionary' ' and it decides more
cases than any other court . For
the benefit of "Stub" we will
ask him to step down from that
lofty perch of knowledge upon
which he is daiTy resting and
among at least one hundred ca-
ses of law decided by the -Supreme
court of North Carolina,
read the case of State vs. Giersch
at page 720 of the 98th N. C.
Report, and State ' vs.'. Lee at
page 081 of the 113th N. C.
Report and see that if both -of
these cases were 1101 made to
depend entirely upon what a
dictionary-" said was so and so,
and" then ask himself if Mr.
Williams acted peculiar when
he did what the highest court
in the land always does. But
then we are sorry for "Stub ;"
he is against the dictionary for
it sa3s a "Stub" is the .stump
of a free ; that part of the stem
of a tree which remains in the
earth when the tree is cut down ;
a block." -1
