Stop Cruelty to Horses.
Anderson Intelligencer.

A fe wdays ago a pair Of horses was
standing in front Of store. The sun
was shining and the temperature 110
to 125 where the horses stood. Their
heads were reigned up at an agile of
As degrees. The sun was blazing
down in their eyes and faces. There
was no possible chance for the horses
to shift their position. With driver
to make them behave they were forced
to remain rigid as statues.
There was single horse driven
through the streets one afternoon. It
was beautiful animal. The young
people behind it seemed to enjoy the
ride. They could turn their heads in
any direction at will and were happy
and comfortable. But the horse was
in veritable he'll. His head was
reined 80 high that he could not see
where he placed his feet. He could
turn neither to the right nor left. The
patient animal was forced to endure
the torture.
These are two cases. There are many
others in the city. Y@B may obs-'
this special cruelty to horses any day.
It is strange that owners Of horses
are so cruel. There is not horse
man in this city who can stand an
hour with his head reined up in one
position when the sun is shining down
in his face.
It is practice which should be STOP
ped. The city council or any magis-
trate has the right to prevent cruelty
to cats, dogs and chickens. But they
permit livery men and owners OF
horses, through a depraved idea Of
beauty to punish and torture fine
horses, the perfection of all our do
nestle animals.
A horse owner who thinks it adds
to the beauty Of horse to force his
head up and rein his neck into Il
straight, stiff, unnatural line, has no
more sense of beauty and attractive
form than blind man has of the
starry heaven. His ignorance of what
beauty is could be forgiven on the
ground that he never had any chance
to learn better, but his downright
cruelty, his torture Of the poor un-
complaining animal will find no place
for forgiveness while he continues to
practice the cruelty
How is a reform to be brought
about? We look to women for all best
initiative work. They do not often err
on the side Of cruelty, except to their
husbands and they generally deserve
all they get and more too. Let the wo-
men say to husbands, liverymen or
sweethearts, 81 will not ride until
that check rein is removed" That
would tend to stop the evil.
Let the city council go as far as the
law will permit them and the abuse
will soon be removed 1t would be
slow process to instruct horse owners
and drivers from an artists view
point and bring about reform by i'm
proving taste and refining the sensi-
bilities. What is needed now is a
heavy club, welded strenuously by
the mayor. That is the only short cut
to bringing about reform with heart
less and cruel people.
The horse owner or driver who
checks up his horses so that he can not
move his head should be warned for
the first offense and punished and fined
for the second. Let the cruelty cease.
1t is a disgrace to civilization that
pretends to be humane and refined
| that it should continue.

DIR. sTINSON BELIEVES ADKINS IS NOT
 INSANE.

DR. STINSON BELIEVES ADKINS IS NOT
 INSANE.
 Little Rock, May 27.-John Adkins the slayer of his brother-in-law, Will liam Jones, Sr., will be hanged today at Perryville, the investigation of his mental condition by Superintendent Halbert C. Stinson of the state hos pital for the treatment of nervous dls- eases convincing him that that Ad- kins is not insane. Superintendent Stinson reported to Governor Dona- ghey yesterday afternoon after his return from Perryville.
 After receiving the report from Dr. Stinson and spending some time questioning him concerning the case, Governor Donaghey informed Sheriff Oliver at Perryville that he would not interfere with the execution of the sentence.
 Il would not permit an insane man to be hanged if I could prevent it, said Governor Donaghey to Dr. Stin- son, "but in this case l can see no other course than to purmit the Judg- ment of the court to stand
 pr. Stinson spent some time yes terday with Adkins, who was m lg- norance of the identity of his visitor. He investigated the antecedents of the prisoner and secured all information he could concerning his temperament habits and pecularities before he wis ited the jail. Seated in the cell with the condemned man he spent some time in conversation with him and found that he was possessed of an or dinary intelligence. The conversation took a wide range and Adkins talked freely with the superintendent.
 At no time that l was with Ad- kins," said Dr. Stinson, did he man. ifest single symptom of insanity He may be aparanoiac with a homi- cidal mania, but that would be diff cult to ascertain. If he is insane, nc symptom of insanity was in evidence while I was with him.
 The fact that he organized con. spiracy, as the evidence at the tria showed, Dr. Stinson stated, to kill his victim and carried it out as he planned it is evident that he is mol insane

ADKINS HANGS
 AT PERRYY|LLE MURDERER PAYS PENALTY GOVERNOR REFUSES RESPITE, AFTER PRISONER IS PRO-
 NOUNCED SANE.

Perryville, May Ex-Governor G. w .Donaghey having refused to grant a respite, John Adkins will have paid the extreme penalty for the murder of his brother-in-law, William Jones, a few months ago, before the sun sets today.
 Under the shady pines in the court house square of the little village Of Perryville has been reared the gal lows on which Adkins will be hanged, and Sheriff Oliver has every detail ready for the execution.
 Adkins, aided by the young sons of the murdered man, ambushed their victim, killing him instantly, rif1ed his pockets and fled, but not until the wife of the murdered man, mother of the boy accomplice and brother of the assassin, had seen them in the road bending over the body. A clear case was established against them, Adkins being sentenced to death and the boy to five years in the reform school.
 For a number of days past Adkins has been studying the Bible, and it is believed he will go to the gallows repenting the crime for which he is to be hanged, although he has shown but little interest in the proceedings which resulted in the capital verdict.
