Two "professional" baso ball teams will occupy the lime light at tho base ball grounds lu Walhalla to-morrow (Thursday) afternoon, the game to be callod promptly at 5 o'clock. This gamo will not be entirely in the nnturo of a side-show, as most of the playors are old-timers of flfteon and twenty years ago, hoing once known as "posers," "grand-stand ar tists," "poachorinos," "base thieves," etc. Nevertheless tho gamo will be umpired under tho 1911 rulos, while the playors will havo tucked away somewhero in thoir memory boxes vague recollections of rules that were of force along In the yearB from 1888 to 1905 . The gate receipts will go to the base ball club of Walhalla, which has kindly lent two catchers-Harry Hot rick and Jamen Harrison-who will hold forth behind the bat, there be ing no old-timers willing to sacrifice themselves behind tho stick.

New York, Juno 17.-The financial district witnessed an awful accident at . its busiest hour this afternoon, when William Anderson, a stonecut ter, fell from tho twenty-eighth floor of the Bankers* Trust Company building, nearing completion, at Wall and Broad streets. In setting n stone, Anderson slip ped and fell. His one wild cry as he realized his doom attracted tho at tention of bankers and brokor? as the body carno hurtling to earth. The body struck a stono coping at the fourth floor, an arni being torn off by the Impact. Bounding out, tho body crashed upon a heavy wire netting which had been spread over Wall street to protoct traffic while the building was hoing orected. The screen acted Uko a spring board and threw tim body Into the air again. It dropped finally, horri bly mangled, In front of tho Wnll street entrance of the stock exchange.

There will be'a groat deal of inter est among Anderson people lu a pro ject just launched, looking to the de velopment of Horse Cove, N. C., for a summer rosorjt. Options have been secured on 2,000 acres of property thoro, with a view to building a big lake, and making of the place one of tho prettiest and most desirable re sorts in the Blue Ridge mountains. A meeting of tho promoters is to be held on tho grounds to-morrow, when plans of a definite nature will proba bly be mapped out. Some of the loading business men of the State aro Interested In the movement, among them hoing J. S. Fowler and T. B. Earle, of this city; J. R. Earle, of Walhalla; Mayor R. O. Rhett, of Charleston; T. C. Wil liams, J. P. Matthews and Thomas Taylor, of Columbia; J. H. Clifton, of Sumter; D. S. Henderson, of Aiken; D. T. McKelthen, of Darling ton; A. Schilleter, of Clemson Col lege, and H. O. Thompson, of Jack son, Miss. Those interested in the movement are to meet at Walhalla and go on to Horse Cove (Victoria) In automo biles. Mr. Fowler, accompanied by J. S. Fowler, Jr., in one car, and Mr. Earle in another, will leave here to morrow morning, and at Walhalla will take other passengers for the trip to Horse Cove, a distance of about 26 miles. The ground will be gone over, and the promoters of tho scheme will get a better Idea of just what ls necessary to the end sought. Mr. Thompson, who will Join tho party at Walhalla, is one of the larg est land owners In the Cove, and is much interested in tho project; in fact lt has boen a pet scheme of his for years, and be is willing and anx ious to aid In whatever manner pos sible to bring the movement to a successful termination. Horse Cove ls one of the prettiest places In the Blue Ridge mountains, and some years ago was visited by ! hundreds of people from all sections of tho'country. There has been no formal an nouncement of the plans of the pro moters of tho scheme, nor will any j be mndo until after the meeting on the grounds to-morrow, but lt ls un derstood that the property, on which options have been secured, can bo ; had at a moderate figure, and a lake,1 can be formed by building a short, ' low dam, that can be put up at a ! small cost. A large and well ar ranged hotel la planned, and also tho : salo of lots for summer homos. Horse Cove ls about 2G miles from Walhalla, about three and a half miles this side of Highlands, and' about eight miles from Cashier's Val ley, lt is surrounded on all sides hy mountains and lias several creeks from which t'?.e water can be had to supply the lake. | The movement to make of lt a real summer resort will bo of particular interest to many Anderson people. | ARO Couple fHn t>?ddohly, Chester, lube 10 -...'ol.

A New York Methodist Episcopal church, which has taken a poll of Its congregation In an effort to deter mine the ten best hymns, announces that the following received the re quisite number of ballots: "Noaror, My God. to Thee." "Abide With Me." "Jesus, Lover of My Soul." "I Love to Toll the Story." "Lead Kindly Light." "Rescue tho Perishing." "Rock of Ages." "Onward Christian Soldier." "What a Friend Wo Have In Jesus." Four others wore Hod for tho tenth placo: "Love Divine, All Love Excelling." ".List As I Am." "Faith of Our Fathers, Living Still," and "In the Cross of Christ I Glory." It scorns strange that out of any list, of tho ten best hymns "How Firm a Foundation" should bo left out. And wo would also put In "Take tho Namo of Jesus With You." Which would you count In tho ten best hymns? ORIGIN OF WATERSPOUTS. Forms In Which They Have Reen j Hoon-Where They aro Common, (Now York Sun.) In tho waterspout the mediaeval mariner saw a malevolent living mon Bier-a sea dragon. There wore va rious moans of combating them. Once all sailors carried black-handled knives, which the monster was be lieved to hold in special abhorrence. ! When a spot made its appearance these knives were produced and pointed in Its direction, waved in the air so as to make tho sign of the cross, or, according to the recommen dation of certain contemporary au thorities, driven1 several timos Into tho side of tho ship. Certain pas sages from tho Gospel of St. John wore recited as charms against wa terspouts. A loud noise of any kind was also believed to be efficacious against them-shouts, the clash of swords, the beating of drums and gongs, etc. The custom of firing cannon against waterspouts, says the Scientific American, datos back at least as far as tho sixteenth century. The origi nal idea appears to have been to frighten them away by the noise of the report; but in later times lt was believed that the watery column could be cut in twain by the cannon ball and the spout thus dissipated. It would be Interesting to know whe ther the cannonading of waterspouts is still sometimes practiced. It was certainly common much less than a century ago. It ls hardly necessary to say that lt ls ontlrely futile. In French they are all called trombes (from the Italian tromba, a trumpet, or the Spanish trombo, a top, in allusion to their visible form.) There is no essential difference be tween tho waterspout and the land spout; in both the visible "spout" 1B a mass of water vapor, tho condensa tion of which ls dite to the expansion of moist air under the diminished pressure within a vortex in tho at mosphere; but In the landspout this vapor is mingled with dust and other terrestrial objects sucked up by tho spout from the surface over which it passes. - Dust whirls occur only when tho surface of the ground ls- excessively heated, and during their brief exist ence they are fed by the inflow of tho lower air. Tho sharp contrasts of temperature that produce them aro characteristic of a land surface as compared with a water surface; yet j it is over the latter that spouts aro, most frequent. Hore, then, ls one point of difference between the dust j whirl and the spout. Another is the fact that no surface Inflow of the air is observed about a j spout except immediately within it. | A waterspout may pass within a few i ' hundred feet of the vessel when tho! latter is absolutely becalmed. Both of these circumstances provo tho In-}1 accuracy of tho common statoments ' that spouts are due to an unstable1 condition of overheated air at tho earth's surface. Both theory and observation indi Cate I! HI i h H vortex of ii sppvi <>'i)'!-, nates at a considerable ?'libado abov'o the earth, vi/.., at the level ol the I tn i dd iii or loyer olonds-^-nnd is thence propagated dow nward 'J he. j exp?an (lon 'A its ' t . tin mit be sought In the contrasts of tempera-!; tine occurring at high levels on the margin of a large cyclone, the zone in which spouts originate being iden tical with thal in which squalls aro also most common. Frequently it falls to reach the earth's surface. Incomplete water spouts are often observed dangling f"om the clouds, with no agitation of the water beneath such ns would In dicate that the vortex extended to the lowest stratum of the air. Waterspouts are common within the tropics, especially In the equato rial region of calms and baffling winds known as the "doldrums." The Bast Indies, the Guinea coast, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean are some ot their favorite haunts. It ts hardly necessary to state that a waterspout noes not consist of wa ter in the ordinary sense of the term. A vortex In the air, formed as described above, te gradually push ed downward. If lt reaches the sur face of the ocean the latter will he violently disturbed, the water will be dashed upward In the form of waves and spray to a height ot* many feet, forming the characteristic, broad base of the spout. Extending above to \)ie level of the clouds the centrifugal action of the vortex causes, within its core, a rare faction of the air-a rc g I ou of dimin ished pressure-in which Water va? f por, previously gaseous and \u visible, ls condensed, by the cooling duo to expansion, into a column of mist. This column ls often a mere w\tery ? film, so that vessels, mountains and the like, lying beyond the spout tan I be distinctly seen through it. When a waterspout suddenly breaks, owing to a cessation of its vertical motion, its moisture may he discharged downward in tho form of a torrential rain. This has some times happened over a ship, and the wate? was observed to be fresh, not salt, proving that no considerable part of it was drawn directly from the ocean. The forms of waterspouts are vari ous. Sometimes they are seen singly, sometimes In groups. As many as twenty have been observed at one time. Their height, In extreme cases, may reach nearly a mile. Some of the most Interesting de scriptions and pictures of waterspouts are to he found in a memoir publish ed In 18?8 by the late H. C. Russell, government astronomer at New South Wales. ,i one ense cited by this author fourteen complete spouts and six othors moro or less incom plete were seen within the space of five hours. Russell also records a case In which the shaft of a water spout formed a complete loop, a phe nomenon that has occasionally been mentioned by other v/rltors. If mariners were onco the prey of a superstitious dread of waterspouts, on tho other hand tho sailor of to day is perhaps Inclined to go to tho other extreme. Sea captains have been quoted as saying that they would not be afraid to run their ves sola into any waterspout they havo ever seen. There are, however, sev eral casca on record In which vessels have como off much the worse for HIGHLAND LOCAL MATTERS. Fournie Qunx'tette Give Channing En tertainment-Local News.
