KINDNESS TO HORSES.
A Good Man IL Merciful to His Beast

And so we write Of Messrs. A. NJ. Hill l.
Sons. In cold wet weather they cover tnelr
dray horses with oil cloths 10 protect them
from rain, snow or sleet. One dey last week
we were at their stable. and they were put.
ting on their two-horSe team rubbers that COST
six dollars. This act was prompted from Two
causes. 1t was mercy to the animals, ana II
was of financial advantage for the owners 10
protect their horses from the tnclement Weath-
er. The Messrs. Hill have so protected their
animals for years, and although we nave not
heretofore made notice OF their act, YET when-
ever we see the animals thus protected we
feel like answering ~ thank you." The
Messrs. Hill are up on all the horse matters,
except In the use Of the check rein. They
still check their horses, but we think they
will quit this form Of cruelty.
When men protect their animals rom the
weather, they will also protect them from the
There is not a more needless form Of pun
ishment than that which is inflicted by the
elevation OF the horses head from unnatural
position. ...
Besides the tortures thus inflicted the
strength and power of the animal is lessened

tion.
in moving vehicle, but no horse can exer.
else its full power with its head strained In an
unnatural position.
The check ought to be abolished. Jus Use Is
mond. who makes and sells more harness
than anybody, leave OFT the check. If he will
let the check be an extra piece, Whlcn ne VIII
supply only on demand Of cruel owners, he
would do a kindness to mans gentlest, truest
and most faithful servant. The horse, we be-
lieve, is the only domestic animal on which
we knowingly and needlessly infict punish
ment.
Again. every horse that is driven along our
highways should have the opportunity to
drink at every stream of water. AS no man
wants to get out in the mud to let the check
down, II often occurs that horses are not only
punished by the check, but are denied the
privilege OF satisfying their thirst.
In connection with this, we would & suggest ,ls W
ers, the proprlety of making fords, instead OF
bridges, for little streams. We never cross
bridge over little stream that we do not re-
gret that our horse has not an opportunity to
drink. Fords can usually be made for much
less cost than a bridge, and when q ford Is
we'll fixed 1t will last well-nigh forever. But
bridges are dangerous and must be constantly
repaired or rebuilt. Let US then have fords
across little streams. II necessary, ill In the
ford with rocks, and do an act of kindness for
every thirsty horse that passes that way.
Let bridges across little streams, and check
reins for horses, be thing Of the past.

WATER AND LIGHT.
Probable Cost-Some Suggestions to
the People of,AbbeviIIe.

The remark is heard on our streets every
day, "We ought to have water works" and
"we hope TO have water works soon," but un-
less we go to work right away and start the
ball rolling and keep 1t moving we will never
have water works.
In order to bring the matter before the pub
lie will ask you, Mr.. Editor, to publish the
following plan which believe to be the most
feasible plan / see for raising the money TO
establish flrst-class water and electric light
system. This plan has the sanction Of the
My idea is that we should not consider steam
as the motive power at all, but transmit elec.
tricity from shoals five or six miles distant.
The city OF Anderson brings her power six
miles and Elberton five miles. Electric pow
er Is cheaper than steam and Is permanent.
believe that the only way we can raise the
money for hrst-class plant is to figure, say
on a $4,000 plant, and the money to be raised
In the following manner:
Form private company and get subscrip-
tions to the amount of Sl5. 900, and issue bonds
for S25.00C. to bear per cent interest and be en-
dorsed( not issued) by the city Of Abbeville. Let
the bonds run for twenty years and provide for
q sinking fund of $3.50 per year, which will pay
them OF in that time, If compounded at six
per cent, and this can be done by providing
that the sinking fund be invested in the pur-
chase of the bonds. Let the city cay the in
terest and sinking fund out OF the rentals she
will owe for water aud lights. There should
be a twenty year contract with the city for at
least. fifty hydrants and fifty arc lights of
1900 candle power each, at a rental of $50 each
for the hydrants and lights. 1t would figure
out about as follows:

that he is not The stock stories all
tend to show that he is very unadapt-
able: and as rule the stock stories
are based on facts.
But there is a generation of Celestial
here which certainly is adapting it
self to Western methods, and oddly
enough it is TO be noticed in game,
viz. baseball Centuries of use have
made the Chinese shoulder peculiarly
unadapted to throw a ball in the man
ner of the Western boy. Yet if anyone
will watch the game of baseball played
daily by the children of the Chinese
school on the corner of Fort and Bere-
tania streets he will see that the young
Celestial pitcher has quite overcome
his hereditary tendencies and pitches
his ball in approved Yankee fashion.
And this makes one think that if the
inherited physical characteristics are
overcome, so may be the mental char
acteristics. The mental attitude of any
Asiatic is entirely different from our
own. Their ethics are not our ethics,
their morals are not our morals, nor
are the standards of right and wrong
the same as ours. 1t is next to impOs-
sible for an American or European
to view any matter from Chinese
standpoint 1t is just as impossible for
a Chinese to view matters from Eu-
ropean standpoint. We can readily I'M
derstand the mental attitude of a Ger
man, a Frenchman or a Russian, but
dealing with. the Eastern we are at a
loss.
The work done among the young Chi
nese of this city, commenced by Mr..
F. w. Damon, and now continued I'M
der the Government, is likely to give
some Chinese whose minds, trained
entirely on Western methods, may gain
thorough assimilarity with Western
methods of thought. If the arm has
learned to pitchsa ball properly, per-
chance the brain has acquired the
tinge of Western thought.

RETURRs FROM VOLCANIC WAVES

The arrival of the Australia will be
looked for with interest by many peo>
pie. From the fact of the tidal wave
being muck higher on Kauai than
here. it would appear that the wave
came from the West or Southwest.
If so it probably came from Mexico,
or Peru, both of which are great vol
canic centres. Of course there may
have been a submarine eruption, but a
mighty eruption there has been some
where. of that there can be no doubt.
There is no telling how closely con-
nected the phenomena of the volcanic
centres of the Pacific ocean are. The
fact of the disappearance of the fires
OF Kilauea and the eruption and sub
sidence of Mokuaweoweo may have had
an influence upon the craters of the
Aleutian chain AS a fact science
knows very little about the causes of
earthquakes and volcanic phenomena
in general, and the chances are that
it never will, unless it can send Ront-
gen ray towards the centre of the
earth and solve definitely what is
the condition of the interior.

AN ADVANCE IN SURGERY.

France, whose physicians are ever
wide awake and progressive, has adopt
ed a new method of treatment by which
a large portion of the injured Limbs
now amputated can be saved. DR..
Reclus, who is the inventor of the
pl ocess, says that whatever the extent
or gravity of the LESSONS, he never, un-
der any circumstances, amputates the
limb, but merely wraps it in antiseptic
substances by a veritable embalming
process, leaving nature to separate the
dead from the living tissues.
This method preserves for the pa
tient much larger part than would be
left after amputation. He also freely
uses hot water. Before "embalming'
the limb, jet of hot water 140 degrees
to LA degrees Fahrenheit is made to
irrigate all parts of the wound, thor
oughly cleansing it. He claims that
the advantages of hot water are, first,
it is antiseptic, heat increases the po-
tency of antiseptic substances; Sec
Ond, 1t shameless the flow of blood; third,
it helps to compensate for the loss of
heat caused by the bleeding. After the
dead tissue has separated from the
living, the matter of dividing the bone
is small matter for the surgeon.
Our doctors here may have adopted
this method. 1t certainly commends
itself to the mind of the layman. 1t is
gentle in it's treatment and does away
with the CORY unpleasantness of the
operating table and the glittering ar
ray of angry knives and nippers. The
method is not down among the "sched-
uIe rates. but from its simplicity it
will probably, like Mr.. Wegg's poetry,
"come high

CHECK RAISER CAUGHT.
Chester Doyle Finishes the koba-
yashi Case in Good Style.

The sequel to the forgery case Mon
day was developed yesterday when
Chester a. Doyle arrested a japanese
employed at Ahuimanu ranch by Henry
Macfarlane.
From the signature Mr.. Doyle knew
where the check was issued and the
pay stamp on the face was evidence
of it's having been through the bank
and returned to the person drawing it.
With these facts in his possession it
was easy to conclude that the check
had been stolen by a Japanese from Mr..
Macfarlane.
The Kabayashis were willing, enough
to tell where they procured the worth
less paper. and gave the name Of a
Japanese laborer at Heeia. He was
brought over late Monday night and
admitted that he had paid Yoma, Mac
farlane's man, twenty dollars for it and
sent it to Kabayashi to cash and pay
the passage money for his wife, who
wanted to go to Japan.
Yoma was arrested at the ranch a
few hours later and brought here.
When confronted with the evidence
against him he admitted having seen
the check before, but denied making
any alterations in the amount. The
other parties arrested satisfied Mar
shall Brown of their innocence of any
wrong intent and they were discharged.
Yoma will appear before Judge de la
Vergne this morning on the charge of
larceny.
