RAYMOND MATHER
PLAYS THE HERO
..
In Exciting Runaway He Jumps
On Maddened Animals
Back.
THEN LOST HIS BALANCE
HOWEVER THE YOUNG MAN HELD
ONTO THE eRlDIE UNTIL THE
HORSE WAS STOPPED RE.
cElvED MANY BRUISES.

In an exciting runaway on Eighth
street yesterday morning, Raymond
Mather. a we'll known young man, took
the part of real hero and probably
saved himself and his companion,
Frank Brown. from either death or SER
ious injury. As it was young Mather
was bruised about the head and body
considerably, but not seriously.
While driving up Eighth street and
near Sailor street the strap. which
holds the names. became unfastened,
allowing the shafts to rise in the air.
These. upon falling, struck the horse
across the back, frightening 1t and
causing it to run at break neck speed.
The carriage whirle4 along By the
maddened animal. described curves
which would have done credit to q
chariot.
Was Dragged Along.
The horse managed to get the BIT
between its teeth and was pulling the
carriage along by the reins. Try as
they could neither of the young men
could get the horse under control
Whereupon Mather jumped from the
carriage onto the horses back and
grasped hold of the bride. However
he gained an insecure seat on the
horse and fell. but he retained his
grasp on the bride and held on until
|, the horse was stopped at the side door
of Harry MatheY's residence, South
Eighth and A streets.
While Mather was being dragged
along the shaft struck him in several
places, bruising his body and face
His nose was also badly skinned BY
the accident

NEW YORK N
Babies sad eatsrs Conspicuous by Their
Absence.

Hornell, N. Y, Oct. 26-Infants are con-
s~picuoas by their absence at the thirteenth
annual meeting OF the New York State
Assembly Of Mothers, leading to the pre-
sumption that the babies are at home with
their fathers. The mothers held prelimi-
nary pow-wows today and the opening
session will be entitled "The Fathers Res
possibility for the Child" There will also
be addresses and papers on the preserva-
ton OF trees, co-education, forestry, hats
and gowns, birds and insects and other
topics OF interest to mothers.
There is a congress for you. There is
a conglomeration worthy Of your STEEL
pen. The Fathers Responsibility for the
Child" discussed by the dear long-haired
things. The mothers responsibility was
discussed year before last. And forestry,
it Is to be discussed, too, and very properly
So. That division Of forestry which is to
be discussed pertains to the young, wiry,
and succulent withes that grow around
the roots Of peach trees, and which are
cut at q tender age to fill a tender mission.
And, Oh, dear mothers, hats and gowns
are to be discussed. This is the draw
ibg card, this is the magnet, this makes
the dear things leave the children in
charge Of the pater for a season. Pope
said that the proper study Of mankind is
man, he didn't say what the proper study
of womankind is. If it is not hats and
gowns we give the riddle up.

Chicago, home Of monstrOsities, put out
a new one last week. in the shape of a
model husband prize.
Imagine yourself with all the likely hus-
bands in town up On a box on a long coun-
ter being viewed and criticised and judged
as to your qualities and qualifications for
making an ideal mate. Imagine madam
$50 and so" squirting at you through a
lorgnette and whispering to some other
madam lwho looks at you and frowns.
Imagine the mesdames of the entire city
passing you in review, remarking on your
ability ito bring in stove wood Or we
gods and little fishes!- milk a COW.
Then imagine the prize to 60 to some sun
of-a-gun who calls his wife sole oman
makes her do the washing and ironing,
and won't let his kids hang up their
stockings Christmas because they have
ound out who Santa Claus is. Imagine all
these things, and if you would not wish
rather that you were a british bull dog
instead Of biped 80 that you could eat
the whole show raw, then you are no a
There are no model husbands, there are
plenty Of model wives but the supply of
model husbands has been short since the
beginning Of time.
1t might do very well to have a mode
wife show. There are many to be found
in Abbeville who would win a prize, or
rather are worthy of a prize--but model

Death Of A. c. Kennedy.

A. C. Kennedy died at his home between
Troy and Mccormick On last Saturday, the
3Oth, Of hemorage.
He was next to the youngest son OF MI
A. Boggs Kennedy and was living at his
fathers old home at he time of his death,
He was one of a large family, having
brothers, Messrs Jno. L. Kennedy, Will
liam Kennedy, James Kennedy, U. S. A.,
DIR. C. L. Kennedy and two other brothers
deceased. There are two sisters, Mrs
Will Britt and Miss Onie Kennedy.
The deceased had been ill only a very
short time and his friends were not at all
a%pprehensive that he wasin any. danger.
Arch Kennedy received his education in
the common schools, and while he did not
have the advantage Of a college training,
he had a better mind than hundreds who
possess diplomas.
He was a man of fine judgment and I'M
questioned ability, and by his energy and
thrift was making for himself a handsome
fortune.
He was just in his prime when he was
stricken, being about 3S years Did.
Several from here attended his funeral
which was held at Troy on last Sunday.

Cruel And Unusual Punishment.
(COntributed.)

The Constitution of South Carolina pro-
vides that excessive bail shall not be
required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor
cruel and unusual ~punishments inflicted.
The Anderson Mail of last Saturday, in
reporting the proceedings OF the city
council says:
"Bossy Smith, colored was the chief
offender Of the throng assembled to ans
wer to varied charges. He had been, ar
rested for selling a half pint of .whiskey,
and on being convicted, was given the
limit, 500 or 80 days"
Ira Bigby, Will Simpson, Remus Harris
Kay all colored, and convicted Of gam
bling, were given their choice between the
payment Of fines Of $50 and serving 30
days.
There were three cases for carrying
concealed weapons, all Of the offenders
being white men. The first had both 9
gun and a pair of knucks, and was taxed
$50. The others had pistols and were
assessed 800"
For selling a half pint Of liquor a negro
gets the limit of the bar.
For gambling, possibly for playing
craps, other negroes were fined $50.
White men for carrying concealed wea-
pons we're fined $50,
If the white men had suffered in proper
ton to the crime committed as did the
negroes we do not see how they would
have escaped hanging.
The good people Of Anderson may ap-
Dro,-n 30 +hoi,, W. nrr1n1 on1 tkn1c1al
punishment of negroes for selling a half
pint of liquor, but we do not believe that
q cruel and unjust course can last, these
negroes in our opinion were more sinned
against than SHINING.
We trust that no such record may ever
be made against Abbeville's good name.
If there is a way of appeal open for the
selling of half pint Of liquor we do not be-
lieve that there is q court On earth which
would sustain the sentente Of 500 or 80
days.
Two statements have recently reached
us to the number of arrests in Anderson
on the day Of the big shoW. One was to
the effect that there were As arrests or
that day, and another that the arrests
mounted up to something like &c.
There was a circus in Abbeville recently
where as is generally known, the dispen-
sary is still doing business. There was
not a single arrest in the city that day
1t is simply a question between a system
that can be controlled and a system that
cannot be controlled.

Eating For Religious Purposes.

The A. R. P. ladies, in their dining hall
had more enquiring men to dinner and to
lunch than they could accommodate on sale
day. They are abundantly satisfied with
their success. We heard one man say
that he just couldn't eat all that was set
before him. He ran off in self defense
after he had filled his bread basket.
The A. R. P. ladies intend to do some
needed work on their church and in this
way can dispose Of their ready cash
nearly all Of which was clear profit. Each
householder contributed q liberal gift in
eatables.

Among other things advanced as likely
to help in raising the price Of cotton cloth
at a recent meeting Of manufactures was
ship subsidy. Ship subsidy was recon-
mended as a method Or a means to that
end.
We would not vote for ship subsidy
down here if we knew it would put cotton
up to twenty-five cents a pound tomorrow.
No good can come to US out Of Nazareth,
II Nazareth is north of Mason and DiHon's
Line.
Would not a market, a better market be
built up II We had more traders, more
ships, more interest manifested in the
staple? What happens in a little town
when two or three live real estate agents
get busy in it? Why land goes up, houses
go up, trading increases, men buy homes,
there is something doing.
We are not foolish enough to think that
the price Of cloth has nothing to do with
the price OF cotton. We know that the
two must 60 hand in hand. Then why do
the farmers Of the South refuse to look at
this side Of the question? Anything that
would tend to enhance the value Of cotton
products should be welcomed by them.
Unless there are traders there will be no
markets. The teeming millions OF Asia
and Polynesia are not going to come after
our cotton cloth. They will use it if some
one brings it to them, but go after it they
won't.
Ship subsidy is expected to do just this
very thing. Establish lines Of trade that,
at present, are improbable. If we had a
great merchant marine today the price OF
cotton would be five cents per pound higher
than it is. We do not market u OWL
cotton.
When Spain first discovered Cuba her
merchants Immediately came over to the
island; her ships were there Immediately
Whatever tobacco and fruits etc, was
raised in Cuba, was taken to Spain and
whatever Spain had to sell was carried
back in exchange, nor did she have to pass
N navigation acts to get the trade. She
holds that trade today, and she holds it
through her merchant marine.
Not long since we bought the Philippine
Island, and it is like owning land across
the river when you have no boat to get to
it. Spain today is making more money
out OF the Philippine Islands than she ever
did for the simple reason that she still has
the trade without any expense Of govern
ment. Why? The answer is patent, she
has the navy.
The United States is too big a, country
to be tagging behind in this important
matter. Sometime we will wake up and
then-business.

to guard children from the elevator. No
child should be allowed to attend one.
The enforced idleness of children, when
they can get healthful, safe and profitable
work, is al insult to every intelligent
poor mar in the state, and may do an in
calculable wrong to the morals and the
character Of the rising generation.
The enforced idleness act is class legis-
lation Of the most offensive kind, and it
is believed that when the mill people
realize the enomity Of the trick that has
been. palmed off upon them they will rise in
their might and kick every man out Of tine
Legislature who would dare to further
maintain the grevious wrong.
While we all admit that it is inconven-
lent to be poor, it remains for .politi-
clans to stigmatise it as a crime.
Is the State or the parents Of children
their proper guardians
If a poor mans children are to remain in
enforced idleness, how is he to support
and educate six or seven? No reasonable
conscientious, or sensible man outside the
Legislature cal answer this question.
A lunatic may talk Of compulsory edu'
cation under an enforced idleness Ia
without showing the source from whence
comes bread, meat, clothes and other ne
cessary supplies.
If idleness is the devils workshop, what
may be said of a mill village with, say 200
or 300 children in enforced idleness to
romp and run wild?
Is such a condition conducive to moral
ity or to the development Of habits Of in,
dustry?
Where are all these children to get their
food and clothing?
Can any n conceive of a more cruel or
unconscionable act than the denial of Ia
Dor to such as may need money and who
may need to work for it?.
If the Legislature was either honest OF
consistent in it's enforced idleness OF
children, where is the consistency Of the
act against %vagrancy?
Is the enforced idleness OF children to
train up men and women to be Migrants.
some unthinking people may hold up
their hands in holy horror Of the idea of
child labor. But have you ever heard a
word about child study?

DR.. J. A. Anderson Of Antreville went TO
Anderson some time ago and underwent
an operation on his hand. After the oper-
alton was performed gangrene set in and
now the doctors arm is in a very serious
condition it is possible that he may lose it
in order to save his life. He is at present
under treatment in q hospitable at Angus

The operation to which DR.. Anderson
subjected himself was very slight, and it
is surprising that it became infected.
