WANTED: AN ABATTOIR.
The people of the principal south
ern cities are becoming awake to the
unsanitary conditions under which
they nave been living and they are
rising up and demanding of the au
thorities that the food supply shall
be clean and pure. Some days ago
this paper started a movement to es
tablish a modern abattoir in this city
and the exposures of the frightful
condition surrounding our slaughter
bouses opened the eyes of the peo
ple. The exposure of these unsani
tary and rotten conditions has caused
the people to take more interest iu
what they are eating and the author
ities are becoming interested in the
sanitary questions and it is likely
that in the near future this city will
remedy : the horrid conditions that
now surround our slaughter pens.
Charleston, S. C, is going through
the same experience, and the people
there are demanding an abattoir and
here is the way the chief health officer
expresses the situation:
"For some years I have written in
my annual reports about the condi
tion of the butcher pens and how cat
tle is killed for our market. Of all
the unsightly and unsanitary places,
I think these take the lead. The cat
tle are slaughtered in dirty, filthy
hovels, without sufficient drainage,
and no ample supply of water for
washing the meat afterwards. The
quarters of beef, mutton, etc., are
hung up, unprotected from flies, etc.,
and on the whole in a very undesir
able condition to give to the con
sumer. "I have advocated often the having
of a central abattoir, where cattle
could be inspected before and after
slaughter and killed under the best
possible sanitary conditions. There
should be such a place, well lighted
and ventilated, proper drainage, am
ple water supply, refrigerating 'rooms
for cooling and preserving the meat,
and the whole properly screened from
flies, etc.
"These are the conditions under
which the meat from-' slaughter pens
should be handled, and .given 'to the
consumer, and I an! going to 'see that
meats are Ktiietl ani handled prop
erly by the butchers who kill for our
local consumption. If each '-butcher
wants to have his own .slaughter pen.
then the present unsanitary places

will condemn and put out of business conducive to the general interest,
all butchers not coming up to condl- which in this particular Is more im
tlons. If the butchers will combine ' portant than the interest of the Indi-
and establish one central slaughter 1
house, all the meat could be handled
properly and placed upon the market
in a clean, healthy and sanitary con
dition. As It is now the slaughter
pens are unsightly, unsanitary, are
old and dilapidated, with no adequate
drainage and no water supply. The
meat Is hung up, exposed to flies and
what not. No care is taken of the
surroundings, bones, heads, feet, all
left on the premises for 'Father Time'
to rot away or to feed the buzzards
'AH these conditions must he rem-

handled differently at these slaughter
pens. It is very true that moat Is.

"There is one condition existing,
however, which calls for adverse com-
ment. I allude to the slaughter pens,
These, while they have been improved and when It is entirely closed, Deaf
anrt are heine kent in a. more rleanlv nes is the result, and unless the in-
condition than formerly, are far from
being what they should be. They are
all situated where a proper water
supply cannot be obtained, the build
ings are old, and built under general
unhygienic conditions; conditions un
fortunately which can be improved
but little, without tearing them down
completely and rebuilding them prop
erly. Conditions here are peculiar in
that each butcher doing any amount
of business in home-dressed moats
has his own private slaughter house.
Consequently there are a number of
these old unsanitary pens out on the
edge of the city.
"The meat in the city at the market
tnd green grocers is well eared for
ind looked after, but this is not
I enough. We want the cattle slaugh
tered under good, clean sanitary con
ditions, inspected before and after
slaughter, and delivered to the con
sumer pure, sound and healthy.
"There have been many appeals
made to the owners of these different
slaughter pens, and while they have
been improved somewhat, on the
whole they are disgraceful, unsani
tary, and absolutely unfit for the kill
ing and dressing of moats for our
public markets."
He further shows what is being
done by some small progressive
southern cities, while others are keep
ing quiet and the people are suffer
ing and dying from eating tainted
meats. Here is what he says of the
way Augusta does things:
"I do not thing that there is an
other city which is as peculiar in this
respect, that is in the way cattle is
killed and prepared at the slaughter
pens for our public consumption.
Augusta, With scarcely more than
one-half of our population, has a
modern abattoir, well equipped in
modern sanitary methods, with a
rigid inspection. They are endeavor
ing at present to have it. placed under
government supervision."
Other cities are having the same
horrid conditions that surround our
slaughter pens. Raleigh is ahead of
Charleston in one respect. The buz
zards can stay around their slaughter
houses and help clean up the waste,
but here even a buzzard could not
stand the terrible stench that has sur
rounded some of our slaughter pens.
THAT CONFERENCE. .-
That conference in New York the
other day, held by fool white people
and fool negroes, at which several
fool speeches were made, had one
bright side and that was in the fact
that recognized leaders and philan
thropists refused to engage in it and
that only the recognized cranks were
in the .-meeting. Among those asked
to speak at the conference and take
a part in its work and who refused,
were Andrew Carnegie, William
James, Seth Low, and Booker Wash
ington. Their refusal is really not
surprising, because they are credited
with being sensible men, but it is to
their credit just the same, and now
since the speeches were made and
the platform .-'adopted they are doubt
less very glad that they were not led
to take any part in the foolishness.
In addition to the refusal of these
men to attend the refusal of Thomas
.Wentworth Higginson to give sup
port to the conference is really re
freshing, and what he had to say is
worth while, in objecting to the con
ference this is what Mr. Hlgginson
wrote them :
"In 181)8 and ever since I have re
garded the indiscriminate extension
of the suffrage to an entire class as a
vidual.
"The extension of this right to ne
groes as a class was and is in my
opinion particularly unwise, and a
cause of great friction between the
races and an injury to the negro
himself. He would better turn him
self to his industrial and educational
development than to strive for the1
establishment of a civil and political
status, which, whether or not. his,
under existing law can never be ef -
fcctually attained, or if ever, only
through a conflict of terrible conse-
quence.
' "No white community will ever
consent to tne political supremacy or

man or the yellow man. 1 make this

declaration philosophically, and as
the result of observation and reflec
tion, and absolutely without feeling
or prejudice, for I have none.
"1 regret to say that I must decline
to co-operate with the proposed plans
of the conference. The advent of a
new president, of whom we have on
the whole, reasons to think highly,
seems to me an inappropriate time to
start a new organization which may
only embarrass and complicate his
ictlon. His purpose seems to be to
conciliate the more progressive class
of southern white citizens, as In
North Carolina, for instance. While
notifying them distinctly that the
colored citizens are free and must be
sustained in their legal rights, he
cannot, of course, overrule the action
of the supreme court.
"I am disposed to put confidence
in him at the outset, though I have!
always been strongly opposed to some
acts of his predecessor.
"As almost the sole survivor of the
early abolitionists, as one who com
manded the first black regiment ;n
the Civil War and has long been an
organizer and supporter of the Cal
houn. Ala., school, I can hardly be
reproached as being unfaithful to
the colored race. But I have seen
many mistakes made in their behalf,
and in the present case I must use
my own judgment. I have never
seen the president, and have no favors
to ask of him, and am too old (at.
So), even to accept any from him. so
that my judgment is wholly independ
ent," That old shack that tumbled down
i
of its own accord early yesterday
morning did a good thing for the city
by taking itself out of the way. There
are several more such buildings in
the city that could perform a like
good service by falling. But .there is
one thing about this mode of removal
of antiquated old buildings that will
prevent its ever becoming popular.
and that is the danger to possib.e
tenants or pedestrians when the un
announced disintegration takes place.
We understand that the building
which fell yesterday had been con
demned by the building inspector
some time ago. As to why the au
thorities allowed it to be occupied
and stand a menace not only to its
tenants but to people passing along
the street we do not know, possibly
the building inspector can only give
an opinion and possibly the city au
thorities have no authority to raze
condemned structures. If this Is the
case it should be remedied ana
wherever any property owner is so
careless of his tenant's or th-j public's
interests as to allow his buildings to
become dilapidated and ready to col
lapse he should be made to pull them
down, and if he will not do this the
city should pull them down for him
and tax the costs against the prop
erty. That a building which has
been condemned by the building in
spector is still allowed to be occu
pied shows that somebody has been
guilty of gross negligence.
This weather and the congress dis
cussing the tariff bill coming together
is almost too much. And there Is no
relief in sight from either.
It is said that rats cost this coun

wonderful lot of money to spend on

, Philadelphia
pages. 50 cents. Henry Altemus Co.,
This book, a recent addition to the
"Altemus Popular Manuals," is quite
entertaining and apparent practical
though the business manager's opin
ion on the latter point would be worth
a great dal more than the literary
editor's or the reviewer's.
The first part, headed "Is the Sales
man Necessary?" rhowg that he Is In
fact a necessary agent of civilization:
that, or example. Important inventions
not backed by good salesmanship are
likely to fall flat. A second part.
"Tianlshlng Blue Devlle." U all that
the title promises, and throws much
light on the various types of human
nature and the corresponding varl-
etles of treatment for the blues. The
last two parties, "Meeting Competi
tion" and the "Training of a Sales
man," are, like the others, very good
reading. 1
Writing the Short-Story, by J. Berg
Esenweln. Cloth, U'mo. HI pages.
$1.25 postpaid. Hinds. Noble & El
dredge, New York.
The editor of l.ippincotfs Maga
zine, who knows the Short -Story both
theoretically and practically, has in
this volume niveu us an authoritative
book on a subject of growing import
nee. As there ate sonic thousands of
people or is it hundreds of thousands?
who write short-stories or try to write
them,- this book will be welcome and
useful. It Is no iWs valuable to liter
ary students who, without actually
writing short-stories, desire to study
this highly important literary form.
The author has told practically all
that one needs to. know about the
slioi t-story. In the "Historical Intro
duction" he traces the history of the
short-story and estimates its present
place and power. In part 1, "The
Nature of the Short-Story," be tells
what the short-stor: is not. what it is,
and what kind of short-stories there
are. In part 11. the most important
part of the book, be discusses choice
of theme, gathering materials, the use
of fact and Action, the plot, the open
ing of the story." the setting, characters
and characterization, the- title, and
other related : mutters.".. Part 111,
"Preparation of Authorship," discusses
originality, talent in training, and the
accitiisitlon of -a vocabulary, and gives
a careful" study or -Maupassant's
famous short -story: "The Necklace,'.' by
way of Illustration. Part IV "The
Manuscript ami the Market." has three
chapters. "Writing the" . Story..", and
"Why Stories are licjected." The
appendixes.- which make up part V,
give the plots' of twenty representa
tive shnrt-i'torios, u digest of . rhetoric
al rules - applicable to short-story
writing, and a considerable, amount -of
hihlographical Information.-
This book cannot fail to be good. It
sets high-standards' .of stvle and con
struction by showing that these stand
ards are actual iy applied by the mga
zinc editors. It also 'makes for good
taste and ethics hsv rhowUig how the
editors look askance at anything sen
sational or. Immoral whether in i word
or in sugestion. No doubt many read
ers.. of this book will be encouraged to
go on and write better stories. Others
