•. The “Terry & Shaffer” sewing machine is a high grade article. We guarantee this to be true. But you
ask why do agents ask $40, $50 and $60 for high grade machines while you only ask 18, 20 and $25? Your
question is a natural one. It is this way. The tactory which makes the “T & S” machine has no expensive
agents on the road. They want us to aid them in putting their machines direct to the people at a fraction
. over cost of manufacture. Come in, examine the machines and prove to your own. satisfaction that the above
is “straight goods.” Don’t take our word for it, Come and see for yourself.
The genuine Undine Flour in wood or cloth now on hand. Many merchants offer a flour “just as good.”
Be wise. There is but one genuine, only, and original UNDINE. Seed Oats, Feed Oats. All Fertilizers
now on hand.

Ashton on Quite a Boom.
By the number of residences going
up in our community, we expect soon
to have a nioe little town.
Dr Carter has just commenced a
nice dwelling, to cost about fifteen
hundred dollars. Also expects to
build a drug store and office com
bined.
Joe Kinard fhas commenced his
atore which is to berl50 feet by 40
feet We will now have three hust
ling merchants in onr town. They
will do about one hundred and fifty
thousand dollar business; fifty thous
and each. Mr Kinard will also sell
horses and males.
The fourth hustler in onr town, is
“Little Frank,” you can hear the
hum of his saw from daylight until
dark. I think his entire business
will amount to about sixty thousand.
No doubt some will think too much
for snob a small place as Ashton, but
we have the oonntry to back it
Our fifth hustler who lives near by,
Is our jolly friend, M J T P” who wiH
make some body hustle for the
sheriff’s office next time.
Another hustler who lives on the
edge of town, is “Joe T.” who keeps
kit mules so fiat that he has to brace
the collars to keep them from slipping
through.
I have only motioned a few of our
hustling business men, there are
more. . Wild Bill

To our Friends and Customers:
We regret our insbility to occupy our
Large Brick Store now under construc
tion at Walterboro, by Jan 1, as origi
nally contemplated. This unavoidable
delay has to some extent disorganized
onr plans; however it is onr purpose to
regularly start business therein at the
earliest possible moment, which we
trust will not be later than Feb 1. We
mention this fact with the hope that
onr Friends and Customers, as well as
those who may become snob, will post
pone making definite arrangements for
the Nsw Year until we have had a
chance to figure with them, as we be
lieve onr facilities for handling their
business unparalleled. We have some
thing good to tell them, bnt can not say
it here, if interested in good things call
on or write onr president, Mr Paul
Sanders; we think that will show good
bn si ness judgment on their part, he
may say something confidentially which
would prove very advantageons. Snp-
Perfaction can oaky be attained in the
physical by allowing Nature to appro
priate and not dissipate his own

i THE TAIL OF A COMET,
Its Ever Cbanglan Maaa mud Why »
Fleea From the Sun.
The tall of a comet is not formed of
the aame particles which composed It
yesterday or even an boor or a moment
ago. It Is constantly being renewed at
the expense of the nucleus. As the long
stream of black smoke from the neigh
boring factory or mill Is being continu
ally renewed by fresh particles of car
bon released by the combustkn going
on in the furnace below, so Is the won
derful luminous train of cometacy .bod
ies being constantly replenlabed by
particles flying from or rather driven
from the nucleus by the intense heat of
theeun.
b Then, again, bow infinitely small and
bow intensely luminous must these par
ticles that go to make up tba tall of a
comae Del This thought la auggasted by
the fact that it haa been proved that In
some cases the nucleus of comets which
are only a few hundred miles * diame
ter will have enonnooa fadUke tails
stretching across spies for a distance
exceeding 200,0001000 miles aat having
a talk exceeding that of the sun by
more than 10,000 ttasst

formation of a comet's tail by “suppos
ing'’ thus ^“Suppose, for example, that
the nucleus of a comet Is composed of
Ice. Then suppose the heat of the sun
to be so intense as to rapidly melt that
portion of the ice globe exposed to the
Action of Its rays v which are strong
enough to immediately convert it Into
vapor, which ascends toward the sun.
"Imagine now a fierce wind blowing
out from the sun, causing the vapor
which meets it to be whirled out Into
■pace behind the comet This will f
clearly illustrate the theory qf the for
mation of a comet’s tail, only that the
nucleus of the comet Is not ice and the
vapor Is not water vapor, neither Is the
force which drives it away from the
Bun a fierce wind.”
The unknown force hinted at by the
Astronomer above quoted readily ex
plains why a comet's tall, as a rule,
points In an opposite direction to the
sun. The Russian astronomer Bredle-
chen distinguishes three different types
of cometary tails—those composed of
particles having the specific gravity of
hydrogen, those having the specific
gravity of hydrocarbon gas and a third
class having all the peculiarities of an
equal mixture of hydrogen and iron
vapor.

There is a story of a medical student
before a board of examiners to whom
the question was put again and again
of how he would produce perspiration
In a patient. He proposed all sorts of
things, to which one Importunate ex
■miner always replied: -
“Well, and if that would not do?”
At last the poor young man, driven to
his wits’ end, exclaimed, “I would send
him before this board to be examined,
and I warrant that would make him
perspire.”
