I know that such carelessness has really been the cause of the death or serious injury of help less women or poor innocent lit tle children, for this reason I made really no kick about the fine, 1 just proceeded to learn how to block a horse. I think by this time I am adept at this art if noth ing else. I do know how to fas ten my horse every time before 1 leave him, even for one 'single minute. As a boy 1 never objected to "seeing the bottle dance" or join ing the several secret societies for which fun loving young folks are note J; because I "was always thinking of the fun soon to come to me oui of seing, the other fel low come through. That is the way I felt when that hard earned "fiver" slipped from my fingers. I said deep down in my neart then, I would not tie thconly "goat" and really got a little pleasure out of anticipating seeing the other fellow frown when be, too, had to take double dose of "recorder quinine." Ever since that memorable day, I have watched to see the frown settle on the other fellow's face. I did not do this because I was an xious to see any one get in trou ble, but in so much as it was to happen I thought lt no harm to see the spectacle. Not a single day has passed but what several unsuspecting driver went in and left Iheir horses absolutely foot loose on the square. 1 tried to make myself think that the traffic policeman as well as the others who were passing about were so TORPEDO B BETWEEN EMBEDDED SO DEEP IN THE PULL HER OUT INTO DEE!

Anchored nearby is the auxil iry cruiser Panther, mother ship of the torpedo flotilla. She has a rope made fast to tho Pauldlng. but the latter craft is embedded so deep in the sand that all efforts to pull her into deep water were abandoned for fear that she could not stand the strain. On board tho Pauldlng are 84 men, some of them wearing life preservers. very busy looking for some one to direct to drive to Ihe "ri?ht and ; real close to the curbing too," that they failed to see the dan gerous charges that was so liable io spread terror and devastation in a mad race down the crowded street. On Monday the 19th, a friend and myself went ? down to make sure that horses were really left standing without block or other system of hitching. We saw teams )n the square in this condition. 1 was still in hope the city govern ment were in favor of feeding all out of the same spoon till the next day which was last Tuesday, when 1 actually saw the chief and honorable recorder turn off their course for one that was not satis lied with standing loose on the street proper, but had placed his feet upon the side walk and was actually poking hi?, head into the 'aces of the crowd as they serged along. Then is when I began to won der. I asked myseif the question if I had done anything that would put me "in bad" with these offi cers. If such has been the case it has slipped my recollection. 1 have tried to be a good law-abid ing citizen of your city, ! am a sober and hard working boy who is trying to make good in the cold hard world.

Sb if it was a thrust at them the blow was misdirected. It hit nobody but me. I was the man who had to pay the line out of forty dol lars per month, lt did go hard. Now 1 don't desire the officers to fine others, but I do ask them to explain through the columns of this paper why all horses do not look alike to them. I don't think there is a single man in the city of Anderson who ever saw a horse of the breed that my horse is ever run away at all. They just don't do that kind of stunts. Now I feel that this was an outrage, because I have to stop and go into the stores hundreds of times wheri others are called to leave their horses once and a while. There is but little involved in blocking ? horse wfeen you leave him, but my tive dollars was dear to me, and I can't see why it is worth a fine if such magnitude, for. me to do a thing that other people are doing every day-right undef the very eyes of the very officers, and they railed to get even a reprimand. I am in favor of this law. I wish to see it enforced, but I do think they ought to stop horses from be ing left loose on the square, r else give me my five bucks back and apologize for the grief and worry they have caused me.
