WhatADimals Do In q storm.

Both wild and tame animals, four
footed or with wings, have q deep
seated aversion to wet weather. Even
waterfowl will seek a dry hiding
place when ii rains.
Did you ever watch the actions Of
cattle before q big storm? II so, you
must have seen them grow more and
uneasy az the clouds gathered. You
also saw them run up and down the
field, as If seeking to escape some In
impending danger. Finally, when
the storm breaks, they draw close to-
yether, and, with lowered heads, pre-
sent a picture of de-pair.
Domestic animals, when 1t rains,
will always keep indoors, or failing
that. they seek shelter by the barn, or
under trees, or beneath the hedges and
rhickets In short, in any convenient
place here they may not be entirely
exposed to the downpour.
1t is the same with fowls; they dis
like the rain, which soaks their feath.
ers. They seek sheltered places, and
creep under wagons, or behind boxes
and boards. Chickens do not mind
getting their feet wet, for they will
scratch the ground soon after a show
.r. in search of worms and beetles.
Wild birds do their best to keep out
of the rain- Some of them build q
roof over their nests; others choo'e a
\ home under the caves, or under q
projecting cliff, where they may be
safe from the discomfort that the rain
priugs.
But most of them are without shelter
provided in advance by their own fore
thought, These take refuge in any
place that they happen to find at hand.
If you watch them before the storm
YOU will see them looRing for such O
place. If the storm comes suddenly,
he small and helpless ones seem be-
wildered, flying from tree to tree, and
from 'imbto limb, quite unable to make
up their minds exactly where to hide
themselves.

The War Oh Trusts.

Attorney.Geperal BellIpger recently made
.suit against the Vlrginia.Carolina Chemical
Company. When he received the answer he
Immediately appealed to the Legislature.
The appeal reminded us or the boy who was
oyer-matched, and ran to his grandpa.
The war against trusts or corporations may
result In injury to som ebody. 1t can result In
no ood to any body. The effort az ainst peo-
pie who want to come among US to invest
their money is not only foolish. but Is delri-
mental to the best interests OF the State.
Let us cite an instance TO prove the correct
ness Of our view:
Not 80 long ago the Carolina Cotton Seed
OIL Company wanted to do business in Abbe-
Vile, While that company was abundantly
able to put up new mill equipped with mod
ern machinery at a sum far less than they
paid for the old ont of date or badly worn OIL
mill al Abbeville. they bought our old rattle
trap at an enormous price. This, presumably
TO avoid the war which would have resulted
II they had built new oil mill. The saving
In cost of building a new oil mill OF better
machinery and of greater capacity at little
over one halflhe price paid for the old mill
would have enabled the new mill TO enter
competition that would nave oeeh ruinouS W
the owners ol the old mill.
No effort, therefore, TO prevent legitimate
competition can avail. The biggest fool in
the Legislature would hardly Introduce bill
to prevent any body from building a new
mill at Abbeville or elsewhere.
Then, cannot any body see that Abbeville
was Immensely benefited in the sale OF her
old mill at double price. Could not the
olindest man alive see that II new, mill
with money and ability behind It,, would
have amped the old mill and bankrupted
the largest stockholders.
II impecunious politicians would set to
work to bring more money 10 South
Carolina they would be serving better pur-
pose than crying out idiotically against yis.
ionary evils.

How to Cure Insomnia.

It is now q generally recognized fact
that one Of the most prolific causes OF
insomnia is overeating, that practice re-
sulting usually in disturbed condi-
ton of the digestive organs If In moth
ing more serious. The remedy In such
cases is obvious enough. Cases are
common where insomnia Of a protract-
ed and stubborn nature has yielded to
period Of fasting. There are few
cases of sleeplessness, in fact, in which
a little dieting may not be tried with
good effect. Copious drinking OF cold
water just before retiring is often
highly eff1cacious. Deep breathing kept
up as long as possible by will power Is
a generally recommended remedy for
occasional sleeplessness. the main aim
being to keep the mind from thinking.

The Congress at Washington has appropri

How to Whiten Ivory.

Ivory may be whitened by washing
well with soap and water and allowing
it to dry in the sun. This process
must be repeated for several days. 1t
the ivory be attached to some heavy
article that cannot readily be moved,
another process is to put thin paste
of lime over it until it turns white.
It is then dried and polished.

LegislatiOn Needed.

Senator Graydon has proposed some legisla-
tion In reference TO our schools. Legislation
on this subject Is sadly needed, and Mr.. Gray
don is thoroughly alive to the In interests Of his
constituents. This being so we have reason
to believe that with the cooperation OF
Messrs. Parker, DeBruhl and Lomsk the
evils under which we labor may be removed
As the law now stands the mill which is
less Interested In our graded school than any
ward In the city, seems to have abso-
lute control of the school whose doors exceed.
ipgIy few scholars ever enter from the mill
That ward long since demanded and secured
q school OF its own, and therefore the ne
| csssity for that ward 10 continue to control
the graded school, in which 1t has very little
interest, no longer exists.
While the graded school is good one, and
while the trustees and teachers are most ex.
celleat people to whom personally no
objection could be urged by anybody, yet 10
land where the spirit Of local self.govern.
ment prevails there is ever present spirit oi
dissatisfaction when power is unequally
divided, and the less favored people are
scarcely allowed a voice in the managem ent
OF their own affairs, and in which affairs th g
1t is right and proper for the mill To
cleo, It's own school trustees, whose duty 1t is
to elect teachers and TO take general super
vision Of the school, but we fail TO see the
wisdom, the equity or the spirit OF fairness
in the law which allows the mill 10
control the, graded school and the entire
educational interests OF the city. Especially
ls this true when II Is remembered that from
the mill very few children, II any at all, at
tend the graded school.
The fact is, the mill people are perfectly
competent to manage their own school, and
they should have perfect right 10 do 80, but
should the mill control the school in which
the children OF the city are most vitality in.
terested, and in which the children of the
mill town have little or no interest'
We believe 1t would be fair to add another
ward to the city. Cut the mill ward In two,
by line from Main Street along the street
which lies between the home Of Mr.. DuPre
and the estate Of Charles E. Bruce running TO
the Tan Yard and up TO a Junction with the
public road on the Blue Hill.
By doing this, two school districts could be
had for the city OF Abbeville, when the peo.
pie OF neither district could interfere with The
school Of the other. Then no cause for
friction could exist anywhere.
The people who send their children
to the graded school, or TO the mill school,
could exercise their pleasure in electing trus'
tees, OF their own choosing. without interler-
ing with or controlling the elections in
another school district in which they have
little or no interest.
or course we know nothing as to what may
or may not be done by this Legislature, but
the time is surely coming when the people Of
the city will demand the rights which are
generally accorded to other freemen.

A Word of Comfort.

Just to comfort the News and Courier, we
would suggest that our esteemed contempor-
ary do not worry itself about anything drum
mers may say OF the Exposition. There Is no
accounting for what drummer may say.
For instance: We have heard reports to the
effect that they at times have spoken df the
Abbeville hotels in ter ms which were not the
most complimentary. When man does not
appreciate the Abbeville hotels, there Is no
telling what be might think Of the Charles
ton Exposition.

Compulsary Education.

Except In the old soldiers act more tommy

been to engineer the negro out Of the schools

IN A POLITICAL WAY.

Lovelock Tribune: There is a gen.
eral feeling all over the State among
Republicans that A. G. Cleveland
should head the ticket as the Republi'
can candidate for Governor. 1t is also
known that Mr.. Cleveland heretofore
has not aspired to this office. But the
honor cannot be lightly thrown aside
by any man. Mr.. Cleveland should now
set aside bis personal wishes and listen
to the call of the people. he is wanted
as Governor of Nevada. He is strong
man and would make a good chief ex-
ecutive. His leadership would inspire
the rank and file of the party aud Ne
vada would resume her position as a
Republican State. A. O. Cleveland
must be our candidate for Governor.

WRITING PERFUNCTORY
LETTERS.

A Washington correspondent of the
New York Evening Post, writing from
Washington, says:
"The practice of some public men OF
writing letter whenever they are
about to grant request, informing all
the people who can have any possible
relation to it, sometimes leads to
strange complications. Mr.. Mercer,
Chairman of the House Committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds, took
occasion not long ago to notify Senator
Stewart of Nevada of the fact that an
appropriation had been allowed in the
Omnibus Public Buildings bill for a
Postoffice at Reno, the efforts which
the Senator had made to bring this
about were, of course, mentioned and
the qualification which this news would
give him. Now, in point of fact, Rep
resentative Newlands had been mainly
instrumental in getting this item into
the bill, but, as Mr.. Stewards letter
found its way into the Nevada news
papers first, he carried off good deal
of the glory of the result. Stewart
and Newlands are of opposite parties
and are political rivals. When Mr..
MERGERS attention was iocularly called
to this incident. he replied in the same
spirit that he had not sent any letter to
Senator Jones, who will be Mr.. New
lands immediate antagonist in the COM
ing Senatorial campaign.
