Work has been commenced on the
paving of Friend street. It was needed.
Work will be continued until
the paving is completed from the
postoffice to the railroad. The council
2S to commended for doing tnis
work. Of course in this connection
the streets as well as sidewalks
around the postoffice will be put in
proper condition. j
It would seem from the letters of
Governor Blease to Sheriff Martin and
Chief Constable Storhart, that he intends
to have everything very, very
dry at the Isle of Palms by the time |
i
that the -editors march upon it for I
|
a summer resort. It will no doubt be j
"well if the Governor can succeed in !
his effortr to enforce prohibition at '
the Isle of Palms.
_ ?i T, I
We think that Governor Blease is
coii-tct in his letter to President WilI
son We have often wondered why !
the United States government would
I
continue to issue licenses to individuals
or social clubs to sell liquor in
v territory where its sale is prohibited
hy State law. If the law requires
licenses to be issued, the suggestion
of Governor Blease, that congress
amend the law, is a good one. It
nr.oniH cppm from the passage by
congress of the Webb law* that it was
the intention of congress to have the
laws of congress as to the sale of liquors
conform to State statutes.
There is not much use of the Webb
law if the United States government
is going to continue to issue licenses
to sell whiskey in prohibition territory.
Gov. Blease is eminently correct in
his ord-er to see to it that the Sabbarh
day is observed and not oprnlv dese
crated as seems to be the case at the
Isle of Palms.
FACTS ABOUT HEAD STARS.
There are Ten Thousand Million of
These Heavenly Bodies Chasing
About in Space.
Perhaps it has never occurred to
many people that there are such
bodies as dark stars; but so great an
authority as Sir Robert Ball has said
that the dark stars are to the bright
^ _ t. _ AV _ i j t i. ;
ior numDers as me coia norsesiioes in
existence are to the red-hot ones. In
these days of motor vehicles it is
evident that horseshoes are much
less numerous than they were; but
doubtless the proportion of cold ones
to those at any given moment red upon
the blacksmith's anvil remains as
it always "was. For every such hot
one there must be many kuadreds of
cold ones, so that if the simile is
sound, the heavens must contain an
incredible number of these derelics
on the ocean of space, which, having
lived their life, have grown old and
dead, but are still racing about at
star-speed until in their wanderings
thev meet some other heavenlv bodies
in terrific collision.
Such gigantic catastrophe as the
clash of two suns each perhaps millions
of miles in diameter, rushing at
each other at the rate of twenty or
thirty or even more miles per second,
would result, so the mathematicians
tell us, in a world-splitting explosion
exactly as if each were composed of
billions of billions of tons of gunpowder;
and as when gunpowder explodes
nothing is left but gas and smoke, so
in the clash of stars nothing would be
left of the two great solid bodies which
had collided, but an immense whirling
mass of incandescent gas crlled a nebula,
of which, as most people know,
there are quite a number dotted over
the heavens, his maelstrom of gas
would sail about among the stars for
ages, in the* course of which it would
naturally cool down and condense into
a star-system much like our own, with
probably a central sun, planets and
moon.
Some of these would sooner or later
arrive at a condition of temperature <
suitable for th- support of life, and as <
the centuries passed would become 1
peopled with sentimental beings. Gradually
they would grow too cold for life (
to exist, and finally become frigid, cold 1
dark, stars once more. The number of 1
stars visible to the naked eye is only j a
few thousands. With the best tel-t (
on/J nfhor inctrnmpiits it 1R I ,
csuupiu auu uuiv-i ^ ? ? j
calculated we can detect about a hun- ,
dred millions?not a large number (
(there are fifteen times as many peo- j:
pie as that living on this globe); but j,
judging by Sir Robert Ball's horse- j \
shoe simile, and reckoning only one ',
[hundred dark ones to every bright r,
one, we may take it that there must ?
be at least ten thousand million dark j
starts chasing about in space, most i
of which we have never seen and pro- <
bably never will see. j
I say most of which, for perhaps it j
may come as a surprise to some that i

(are all the other planets and planet- 5
| oids of our solar system, -which with :
j their moons, of which bodies, shining <
I only by the reflected light of the sun, 1
there are at least 600 known to astron- ]
emers. Nor must we forget to mention 1
those bodies called shooting stars <
which may be seen almost any clear ]
night if patiently watched for. These, i
though they look like stars, are hardly <

that name, being mostly but very j ]
small masses of matter flying about in i
space. They are quite cold and dark
until they enter our atmosphere, which
they do at such speed as raises them
at once to a white heat by friction of
their passage through it, and thus they , \
are revealed to us. For every on? we ]
see there must be many thousands \
whose paths miss us entirely, ships
that pass us in the night, silently and ' <
unknown. These too, we must class ]
as dark stars, though very humble .?
; ones. All these are cold and dead com- j
pared with our sun or any of the !.

j would be quite invisible; and, vice ; <
j versa, we cannot s-ee the planets '?
j which revolve around the stars, if <
such there be, as is likely enough;
| for it is hardly to be supposed that i
;our sun alone, among a hundred mil- ]
lion others, possesses such attendants.! j
But we have one or two other rea- j
jsons for thinking that there are dark (
1 stars much larger than any of these. 1
| Here and there are "bright ones, which ]
; are found to vary in magnitude at reg-!?
ular- intervals. One, 41gol in Perseus, ' <
j not far from Cassiopeia, varies every | j
I three days from a star of the second ! 1
magnitude to one of the third, and j
gives us only one-third as much light \
I at its dullest as it does at its bright- ^
est. It seems probable that Algol is j
| really two stars revolving about each <
other much as the two -ends of a dumb- \
bell would revolve were it set spin- i
ning. One of these is supposed to be i
dark and cold, or comparatively so,
and the other bright; it is -easy to see (
how at each revolution the dark one <
(might come between us and its bright- ]
I er companion, and cut off part of the j
, light, thus causing the changes we see. {
About thirtv of these variables have i
1
been discovered. It seems a small i
number, but it is plain enough that for \
I"one
of such a pair to eclipse the other *
its path would have to lie exactly bei
tween us and its partner. Probably
there are many whoe paths do not
fulfill this condition, and therefore
cause no variation of light coming to
us. Others are doubtless flying about
the heavens on haphazard paths, and
i it is conceivable that one might come
I along and collide with us or our sun.'
i The result of such a collision would '
| undoubtedly be the end of this earth
iand its inhabitants.
If this intruder were of any respectable
size, a collision with any of the
larger .members of the solor system
j would produce such a conflagration as
| would raise the temperature of all the
. rest above the point at which life as
we know it could exist. "The earth ?
land all the inhabitants thereof would t
I be burnt up, and the elements would i
be burnt up, and the elements would ]
melt with their fervent h?at." Even if
such a star did not collide, but i
merely passed "through our system, the ]
effect of its attraction would altogeth- i
er upset present conditions, and al- '
most certainly bring about thecessa- 1
tion of life on the earth. (
Neither can we encourage ourselves <
with the hope that the collision would 1
be too sudden for us to know much e
about it. No such thing. Our astron- 1
emers would see the star directly it ^
got near enough for the sun to light <
it up, probably fifteen or twenty years 1
before it arrived, according to ifs size <
and speed They would be able to cal- ]
culat-e its path and toretell to a few i
minutes the precise moment of the ca- <
tastrophe, and we would have the add- <
ed horror of the anticipation of our (
slowly advancing doom. Indeed, the <
passage of even a small star quite out- 1
side our system by many millions of t
miles would still have a sufficiently i
I
iisturbing effect on us to d:*aw us out ,
cf our path and alter entirely our clinate
and temperature.

Apropos of a very rich woman's
marriage to a man much younger thin
herself, Mayor Thompson said at a
dinner in Chattanooga:
"Rich old women who marry handsome
boys have a hard row to hoe. I
know of such an old woman. She said
tenderly one day to her youthful
spouse:
" 'What would you do, darling, if I
should die and leave you?'
"The young man, yawning behind
his gold-tipped cigarette, said languidly:
"'Die and leave how much?'" 1

UNFAIR TO
THE DRUGGIST
The Old Joke About "Something Just
As Good," Doesn't Apply to This
Drngr Store.
i
You have probably heard dozens of
times the old story that a drug store
was a place to "get something just as
good." There is at least one druggist
in the world that you can't say i
this about.
j It is certain that an inferior article
will never be substituted for a guari
anteed one by Mayes' Drug Store.
Take for instance a safe, reliable
remedy for constipation and liver
trouble like Dodson's Liver Tone.
| This harmless vegetable liquid has
i proved so satisfactory a liver sti'mu- |
1 lant and reliever of biliousness, and
| to entirely take the place of calomel
j without any danger or restriction of
I habits or diet, ^iiat there are dozens .
of preparations springing up with
imitations of its clatus.
I ^ ^ , , T . m . _
.But jjoason s Ldvt?r luiie is guar- i
acteea to do all that is claimed for
it, and if you are no*- satisfied with it,
Mayes' Drug Store will hand your
money back with a smile. Any person
going to this store for a bottle
of Dodson's Liver Tone will be sure |
of getting a large botttle of this genuine
remedy in exchange for his half
dollar.
