rhe Mind md Aetion.

I once asked q class Of l6 girls to think:
lntentIy what 1t would feel like to lit the
right hand and touch the left shoulder.
After q few minutes had elapsed ninesQt
them confessed having felt q desire 70 do
It. I then dropped the subject and spoke
of something else. In a few moments SIX
actually did It. Most persons when com
csntrating attention upon the thought OF
what a given movement would feel like,
find themselves becoming possessed Of g
desire to do it, and this desire marks the,
tendency of the thought to produca the
movements. But as we not only feel but
also see our movements, we find that.the
thought Of what q movement looks like
has also motor value and tends TO produce
1t. This Is also true Of touches and Ideas
OF souoh-indeed all or nearly all mental
states produce some motor changes In the
body, but the motor effects Of sensations
and ideas Of sound, taste and smell are rel
atively slight.-Professor v. r. Newbold

FIrecrackers In China.

Firecrackers are also used to bring rain
when it is needed. They are not exploded
on scientific principles, but simply to at
tract the attention of Lung Wong, the rain
god. If, after repeated salyos the drought
continues the deity is supposed to be
asleep, and active measures are taken. The
chief officials OF the district, dressed In
mourning and followed by numerous sor.
rowing farmers, visit his temple In front
of the procession are carried four silken
banners decorated with the characters rep
resenting wind, rain, thunder and light
ming. These are placed in the stands neal
the altar and surrounded by lighted can
dies. Then, with much kow-towing (bow-
ing very low and ~chin.chining (greeting),
written prayers to the rain god are burned
in q sacred fire. A tremendous salute OF
~drecrackers follows, accompanied by the
usual olashing Of cymbals, beating OF
eongs, etc. These salvos are continued day
after day until Lung Wong wakes. Sooner
er later they never fail to rouse him--New

lee Plant for Abbeville.

We learn that there are or have been. q,
least Id rec persons investigating the feasibil'
lily Of building an ice plant at Abbeville. II
any town OF q population OF 5000 ever needed
such a plant, Abbeville is certsinly in that
list. 1t ia 10 be hoped that Abbeville may
not be like the girl With too many lovers no
lost them all. There can be no question that
a good Ice plant properly managed would pay
In Abbeville. Beside the local trade, Able,
Vile might supply various D%eighborine
towns.
Abbeville needs q laundry. too. And nc
place could offer greater inducement for sucf'
an enter prise. Abbeville, 20 we are Informed,
sends away from $500 10 $3.50 a month for
laundry work.
To the right man both Of these enterprises
would yield a handsome profit, and they
would supply a long felt want while giving
TO men who wish 10 work.
The profits and wages Of til. sc plants would
help business 10 the extent OF the money 30
put In circulation.
Abbeville needs and must have both ap Ice
plant and a laundry. No other town OF this
size, we assume, is without them.

qnire Except the
English spelling is the most unsystem-
attic and therefore the most difficult Of all
systems to acquire, except the Chinese.
The French has not a complete alphabet
to represent all it's sounds in q simple and
systematic manner, but the French use
the incomplete and defective Roman al
phabet much more consistently than we.
The object of writing is to convey thought.
An ideal system would allow Of the con
veyance of thought with the least expendi-
ture of energy on the part Of both writer
and reader.
The sounds Of the spoken language
should be represented by the simplest,
most complete and most logical system.
There are in English 40 distinct sounds;
40 distinct letters are needed to represent
them. With such a system the intermina-
BILE difficulty of learning to spell would
disappear, the time spent in printing and
writing unnecessary letters would be saved
and the learning of the language by chill
dren and foreigners would be greatly IA
cilitated. There is no valid objection to
phonetic spelling except the difficulty Of
introducing it. The chronological objeo-
tion is unworthy of serious consideration.
The etymology, for example, Of 'soph-
Ism" (Which, by the way, does not import
D wise saying) resides in the real word,
not in It's spelling. Any n who knows
the history Of the word would associate
that history with it, however. it might be
spelled. The Pathological association Ia
vors phonetic spelling. 1t is, of course,
impossible to make so radical q change at
once, but it does not follow that the bene-
Ats of phonetic spelling, the metric system
or any other great improvement will come
to US in the surest and best way by simply
leaving the matter to chance. There Is a
tendency to shorten spelling, but the bene-
fits to be derived from improvement are
SO great that definite action should be
taken to secure them early and to make
the changes In the way that will be most
beneficial. Changes for better and for
worse will continue to come by chance as
they have come In the past, but chance

language of the most enlightened and
most progressive people of the world

r Abbeville furnishes the new Attornsy-Gen-
eral in the person OF Hon. j. Fraser Lyon
q Abbeville gives 10 him bis Assistant
Attorney General in the Hon. NJ. P. DeBruhl.
These gentlemen are we'll known to all the
people OF this county, and no Introduction to
them Ir, m us IL necessary, but for the benehl
OF the outside world we would say that Mr..
Lyon has been for several years q respected
member of the Abbeville Bar; that he has
been for some time president OF the Able
ville-Greenwood Mutual Insurance Associa-
ton; that he is q member Of the Abbeville
Lodge OF the Knights of Pythias; bat he has
TAX en- a lively interest in ali the affairs that
has looked to the welfare OF Vaudeville county.
In only one thing woul we criticism him
unfavorably. Although e%minently qualified
to be at the head Of q good family he hat
never married. But he has years 10 bib
credit, and II Is 10 be hoped that he may yet
come up TO all the requirements along that
line.
Mr.. d. Brubl ia older than The Attorney
General and has been at the Bar for a greater
number ofyears. Like the Attorney.Geperal.
he has enjoyed q share OF the law business at
Abbeville. He Ia modest In bis idemeapor,
and q worker in his Cfice. He IL
regarded as a safe counsellor, and by. all he Is
thought to bel good man. r..
These gentlemen leave Abbeville ostensibiy
for q short time, but in reality we are not sure
but That their going i%sspermanent, and that
henceforth they may be citizens OF Columbia.
Mr.. Lyon will no doubt be reelected two
years hence. That will make at least four
years In Columbia for him and his assistant.
In that time they may become In love with
Columbia. which fact together with their de.
sire Tor a larger field, may take them away
forever. May they prosper in their new
home, and live for many years 10 come.
