WOMAN'S PLACE AND WORK
Woman's Holiest frown ? Wi fellow
nnil Motherhood Her Heaven Ap
pointed DfMliiy.
According to my creed, a woman'
place in life is wherever circumstance
beyond her control have placed her.
If she is in a position where she is d<
prived of the comforts and appreciatioi
necessary 10 her happiness, and sh
longs ardently enough to better he
' condition, the way will be opened fo
her, and it will be wNe and right fo
her to walk therein.
Wp miiv whine and complain at fat
all our lives without accomplishingan.>
thing, but the soul that looks steailil;
in the face of its desire, makes no com
plaint, re?ogi izes no ill-fortune, bu
demands from life the thing it craves
that soul will obtain its wish as sure a
the sun shines.

Men are given to making parcasti
remarks about the great horde of worn
en in public life, but if every man wh
takes upon himself the voluntary obli
gatien of matrimony performed hi
whole duty as a husband and fathei
there would be lewer women before tn
public to-day. The result of 1113' ohsei
vat ion leads me to believe that wome
whoaie sheltered by love, appreciation
and protection, do not long for th
plaudits of the world. The rule is thu
women who pursue the hard path of
public career that deprives them of
quiet, domestic life, do bo because cii
cumstances beyound their control hav
placed them there.
I believe that woman's work sti
obeys the law of Paridise?that hen
as there, she is the helper of man, nt
his rival or antagonist. Eve was doub
less a better companion and a bette
helpmeet to Adam than another Adai
would havelieen. A profe.*sion with n
women in it would belike Eden withoi
Eve. A profession which should hav

its masculine and feminine mem be
ship would be like Eden with tw
Adams and no Eve. To destroy al
distinction between the spheres of mu
and woman is to rob her of her royi
affection, the delicate respect an
chivalric protection which man h<:
ever been ready to accord her as lb
queen of nature and the empress <
society.
Yet woman's entire equality does n<
divest her of her womanhood, does n<
obliterate the distinction between tli
masculine and the feminine. The san<
tion of inspiration is odded to tti
discrimination which "nature itse
teaches."
The woman is the glory of the mat
and if be did not worship God, I belie\
i?q ti-rmlrl nhnneo hpr hpfnre everv othf

"Either sex alone is half itself," an
the highest ideal of the "single, pui

Doubtless we all agree that the fern
nine element of humanity is the moi
refined, the more subtle.
It is just that, which, left to itsel
the most easily finds its own worl
breathes forth its own influences. T1
land may be measured and boundei
and may need to be graded, but not tl
fiuid air. Leave it unobstructed and
will find its place. Its invigorating e
fects will report its presence. It wi
not be in man's way to hinder his em<
tions; it will ever be with him I
strengthen and enliven.
So I am sure we ueed not be anxioi
to define or describe woman's place <
work. Recognizing her feminine n
ture, and neither enticing nor drivin
her away from its proper exercise, v
may best leave it to find its owu plai
and way. Yet a man once actually sai

yet learned that a masculine womj
will be masculine anywhere, whethi
you find her rocking the cradle or ma
ing stump speeches. Masculinity is i
nate. There is no condition of life t-h
imposes it upon anybody.
Someone has said that the workit
woman must win her way on mei
rather than manners. Very well, n

I heard a sweet-faced little worn;
talking the other day about the adva

could not refrain from saying,
dear, man's advantage over woman

a The Value of Pure, Colli Water.
a fre-?!i cold water is one of the
most valuable disinfectants, inasmuch
e as it a powerful absorbent. Every
sink room should have a large vessel of
" clear water, frequently renewed, placed
near the bed, or even beneath it. This
11 not only absorbs much of the hurtful
vapor, but in its evaporation it softens
!r and tempers the atmosphere, doing
n away with the dryness which is so try?
ing and depressing to an invalid, or
" even to persons in health, for that mate
ter. It has frequently been shown.
" by actual experiment, that troubled
sleep and threatened insomnia are corrected
by so simple a tuing as the plac''
ing of an open bowl of water near the
'! sufferer's head.

An American missionary was once
laboring, with much learned argument,
to convert a Chinaman, but found him)(
self nonplused when the listener ree
torted : "You are a profound scholar;
you know everything. Tell me, then,
ie why you wear those two superfluous
jj buttons on the back of your coat."
Whether the Chinaman received a
1 satisfactory answer to his query or not
will probably never be kuown ; but one
?r thing is certain, it set investigators to
work, and it has since beeu ascertained
(1 that the two buttons are the survival of
>(J a nemibarbaric custom, and that they
were orginally sewed on to hold up a
e belt at the time when every gentleman
^ wore a sword.

DEATH OF BILLY SHIVES.
A W<>11 Known Colored Mini (>opn l?i
IIis Itcwuril.
A well known character is gone. William
II. Khlves is dead. 1I? died last Thursdaj
morning, and was hurled the next day In th<
colored people's cemetery, which Is below tlu
S. A. L. depot.
The deceased was once a slave of Dr. J. F
Livingston, and afterwards, at the time oi
his emancipation, he was the property o
(.'apt. James M. Perrin of this city.
Stiives in many respects was a notable per
son, and at one time had some political in
tluence, though he was not an adept In the
arts of the politic!an, being more Inclined tr
honest toil than to the methods of the ofticc
seeker. >
In the days that lu'ervened between 180:
and 1S7G he was regarded by his race wit!
consider:!tIon. At one time he was Trial
Justice, (that was In the'days before they call
ed trial justices Judges.) While he was a
zealous Kepubllcau and possessed much ol
the race prcjiduce yet in his palmy days he
was not vindictive or malicious towards his
while neighbors.
Of course with the passing of the Remit)
iicans Shlves joined the procession and sine*
then, he 1ms contented himself with honesl
toil and industrious efforts to gain a ilvell
hood for himself and his family, and, be ii
said to his credit, he succeeded in accumulat
ing something. For years he has followed
the business of shoe repairer, and has served
the law-offices in whatever capacity he was
needed, and thus it was that in his way he was
a useful citizen who had the goodwill ol
everybody. All called him "Hilly Shlves,'
and recognized In his conduct the good heart
which was concealed within.
He had the confidence of those for whom he
worked, and, as far as we know, no one evei
doubted his integrity.
He was the last of the committee of officers
who founded the A. M. K. church in Abbe^
ville. The Christian quiver says : "William
H. Shlves died July !)th. By bis death the
last survivor of t he first trustee board of St
James is gone. In 1809 Samuel Jones, John
Teamer, William Kbives. Israel Bowie and
Samuel Johnson formed the board of trustees
of the African M. K. church iu this town.
Israel Howie and William H. Shives were the
only two living members of the board foi
some years. Howie died first week In June
this year, and Shives follows close behind
him."
PROF WM, HOOD.
. ?
Invited to Speak la Newberry to the
Survivors on July 21st.
The Confederate survivors of Newberry, S.
C., have Invited Prof, William Ilood of liartow,
Florida, to address them ou J uly 21st,
18%.
I'rof. Hood is a former citizen of Newberry
aud knows personally many of the veterans
of that county, who Old noble service in the
war. We venture to suggest that Prof. Hood
will entertain the people who have Invited
him by speaking to and of them and their
proud record in the thrilling scenes of war,
He will not Mre them by long and prosey
stories of the "gallant Colonels" and their
"laithful horses," uor will ho Ignore the service
ol*the men who defended their couutry
so heroically.
We have heard so much of the Colonels
and so much of "faithlul horses" that we
think it is about time the old soldiers bad an
inning. The Colonels did valient service,
and their careers have been referred to sc
olten tbut we could almost report the average
speech without hearing It. Patriotic
speeches to the old veterans and to such other
citizens as will listen, are about like the
majority of Masonic speeches?a wonderful
sameness about them. Our public speakers
having eulogized the Colonels and their horses
a thousand times it would break the monotony
if Prof. Hood should refer to the fact thui
there were others than horses and Colonels
in the army of the Confederate States.
While Prof. Hood is ia South Carolina the

Tlie Cost or Maintaining- n Good
School at McCormlck?Soinethini;
lor the People ol Abbeville It
Think About.
Messrs. J. 1'. Robinson and T. J. I'rlce mak(
statement of the receipts and expenditures o
the McCormick School. To the people ol Ab
bevllle who are so heavily taxed to malntalr
their school, and who have never had ar
itemized statement of the receipts and ex
pcndiluresof the same, the report ol Messrs
Robinson and Price will afford loterestint
reading and will furnish food for thought.
Messrs. Robinson and Price say: "Tota
enrollment for the term, 103. Dividing 359.21
by 10-i leaves 11 at the average cost per caplts
by the month, 57 cents."
We have no official statement of either th<
enrollment or the amount of money expend
edat Abbeville, but suppose the expendlturei
to he S4.:!00 and the enrollment 209. Dlvidt
SJ,:{00by ten, and we have Sl-'iO per month o
the whole school. Divide ?430 by'.'CO and wi
SI.Go a montli ot expense, or nearly threi
limes the cost of maintaining a school whicl
is giving good satisfaction in McCormlck.
Messrs. Robinson and Price say: "For thi
last two months no regular assistant teache;
was employed in consequence of funds run
nlng low. The warrants were drawn tocovei
the salary of the teacher and such temporary
assistance as he was obliged to have."
The report of Messrs. Robinson and Price
while net quite as full and explicit as It mlgh
have been, Is nevertheless interesting. I
shows that a good school may be malDtalnei
at a very small cost.

WATERING AND FEEDING, j
-
i
An IntereNtiuir and Nuggreritlve Chnp- e
tor Tor llorNe and Mule Owners. c
Greenville News. 8
Clemson College, S. C., July 9.?Most of the .
gHStric and intestinal disorders of the horse ,
and mule are brought about by injudicious '
feeding and watering.
i Since the stomach of a horse 1r very small ?
in comparison to the frame it immediately r
1 suggests the question: how often are we to f
feed the horse and mule? 1
Water stays but a short while In the stomach
of the horse or mHle, and therefore It
J always must be given to the animal before
f anything at all is fed, as any food not yet pre
pared by the Juices of the stomach to enter
> for further digestion the Intestines will, when
washed out ot the stomach by water drank,
act upon the Intestines the same as an lrrl
tant, and thus cause colic and other lntestl?
nal disturbances more or less serious In
nature. Consequently the cardinal rule In
1 watering horses Is: "Water before feeding."
5 If a horse or mule comes In exhausted or n
i wet with sweat, it Is well to allow a moderate
draft of not too cold water. Next rub theani
imal dry, after that give him a reasonable '
amount of water and Anally feed grain, hay
or fodder. ,
i Exnerience teaches us that feeding the do
f mestlcated horse three times dally Is sum r
' clent. If old and unable to masticate the
s grain properly, as shown by whole grains
i appearing, which at the same may be due to
diseased teeth or too greedy a nature, the for3
mer to be corrected by the vetenary dentist,
r the latter by putting a couple of cobble stone"
- in the] manger, thus forcing the animal to
r pick the food from between the stones slowf
ly?ground ;,'feed is indicated, while any ^
change In feeding must be a gradual one.
. Horses should not be fed when heated or
l Immediately before or after hard work. A
t very wrone Idea prevalent among our people
1 Is to feed the horse or mule an extra me6s be- 8
cause he Is about to do some extra hard work, f
be this a long drive or hard work on the farm. *
In either case positive harm Is most likely to v
follow such practice and invariably can a c
fatal Indigestion case be traced to feeding or 4
watering while the animal was either too hot,
exhausted, or fed shortly before or alter hard
work. Regularity In feeding Is very deslras
ble to keep up healthy digestion.
Overlengthened abstinence is In itself inju.
rlousand the mischief often aggravated by
I the aniinnl eating In excess when he finally
.. gets his lood. An over hearty meal ishurtf
fulatany time and especially so when the
y stomach is weakened by long fasting, hard
r work, hot weather, etc. All food offered
j must be sound. Mouldy hay, artificially
e dried oats, corn and the drinking of stagnant
v or muddy water Is at no time "good enough"
j for the horse or mule.
