HUMOR IN HORSES.

story Of an Animal That Has More
Than Its Share.
Only those who are unfamiliar with
animals doubt that they have a sense
of humor. Jimmy is a lively road
horse who has ideas Of his own and
|. very original conceptions of what is
amusing. One day the children had
erected Il small tent on the lawn and
sat within it drinking lemonade and
playing that they. were banditti jim
my walked softiy up to the side OF the
tent and slowly inserted his nose
through a convenient slit, says Our
Dumb Animals. Eyes and ears fol-
lowed and, his head once within at the
back OF the uEsuSpiciOuS reveiers, jim
my gave one tremendous sneeZe of that
kind which is half Il snort.
The banditti fell back in every direc-
ton. and the horse, withdrawing from
the tent. laughed silently to himself be-
fore going back to his grass cropping.
Jimmy's favOrite amusement is that or
scattering Il flock of sheep. When he Is
feeding with them in the pasture, he
suddenly stops eating and then dashes
among them. sending them GcuddinS
over the hillside. Then he stands watch
ing them until they again settle TO their
nibbing and after q short luncheon or
his own repeats the pleasing diversion.
Although this horse is the gentlest crea-
ture in the world, it pleaSes him eX-
ceedingly to brighten any one who has
shown timdity in his presence.
Jimmy's two mistresses harness him
without trouble or danger, but he de-
lights in alarming one girl cousin who
visits ut the house. Sundry fidgetings
and nervous starts of her own were
enough to show Jimmy Of what man.
ner and temperament she was, and he
is merciless in taking advantage OF
that knowledge. If she enters the sta
BILE where he stands accepting the har-
ness in the most docile manner, he
opens his mouth, showing a wicked
row of teeth, and makes feint of snap
ping at her. She shrieks. his mistress
scolds and reasons with him, and Jim
my apparently is then repentant.

The past week was the great.
est since the exposition opened.
North Carolina was there for the
week, and Governor C. B. Ay'
cock with his handsome staff
officers and their ladies were the
recipients of much social atten.
tion. They stopped at the Argyle
Hotel, the Governor of North
Carolina in one room and the
Governor of South Carolina in
the adjoining room. Manager
Wilson had placed in the hallway
between the two rooms a magni'
fcien5 hand painted china punch
bowl with a silver ladle in it;
every time we passed this beauti'
full receptacle it was empty,
whether from frequent visits OF
the Governors to each other, OF
from the many friends who call
ed to pay their respects. Gov
ernor Aycock made a grand i'm
preston with his speech on Pres.
ident's Day, by his magnificent
oratory. The North Carolina peo-
pie were a fine and handsome lot
and they had a huge time in
Charleston.

Supervisor Owens Replies to Hon. H. B. Rich
ardson.
Editor The Manning Times:

EiltGr The Manning Times:
notice in Your paper of the End in
slant an article from my friend Maj. H.
B. Richardson in which he seeks to
give an explanation for the supposed
feeling and desire of the people of Full
ton and Calvary townships to tack on
to Sumter, and after assigning poor
railroad facilities as the first reason.
Major Richardson then turns aud says
that another reason is because the
highways in that section of the county
"have been so neglected by those in
authority over the chaingang as to
make travel by dirt road both irksome
and difficult
cannot think that the Major meant
TO make such sweeping charge against
those in authority over the chaingang
is is implied in the above quotation.
1t is hard for me to conceive how the
people of those two townships should be
so put out with the neglect of the
chaingang as to make them want to
quit Clarendon and go into Sumter
county. Those two townships were IN
existence many years before the chain
gang was instituted, and this complaint
about tacking on to Sumter is only re-
cent. I cannot think this is the rea-
son, if any real reason exists, for their
wanting to go to Sumter. The chain
gang is an easy thing TO pile excuses
on. 1t has done and is doing some good
work in the county. such work as will
tell for years to come, and such work as
is impossible to make the road hands
do. 1t has been my purpose since l
have been in Office and had largely the
control of the chaingang, to use it so as
to benefit the people in every section as
much as possible. The gang has been
in both Calvary and Fulton townships
in time past, although we did not have
large force while in Fulton and was
anxious to get them into another sec
tion where their services were needed
more. There are still townships IN the
county in which the chaingang has
never been, and it is my policy as much
as possible to use it so as toSbeneft the
greatest number Of people possible and
to work the worst roads first. The
roads in the two townships mentioned
will compare favorably with those OF
any other townships, and if there are
any absolutely impossible roads IN the
county at this time do not know it.
Iapprove I Of some of Major Richard
sons suggestions, but one thing the
people should learn, and thai is, that
the chaingang cannot be ineevery Sec
tion of the county at the same time, nor
can it do all of the work necessary upon
the roads. The gang now mas machin-
cry and Improvements which we Gid
not have two years ago, and we are
doing more and better work: But this
chaingang is big thing and cannot be
moved about rapidly. 1t must neces-
sarily travel slowly, and it is my pur-
pose to. give every section of the county
some of it's benefits, after which it will
start around again. and thus treat every
section fairly.
Yours truly,
T. G. OWENS,
County Supervisor.
