The astronomers announce that on the night of the 11th of Novem ber there will be a star shower wit nessed in this country surpassing in brilliancy and magnificence anything of the kind that has been witnessed since 1833. The announcement has created a stir in the scientific world and thousands of telescopes are be ing turned towards the quarter of the heavens from which the myriads of brilliant visitors are expected to come. They are called Leonids from the fact that they seem to issue from the constellation Leo, one of the clusters or groups of stars through which the earth passes in her jour ney around the sun. It is, however, a pretty well es tablished fact in astronomical science, that there is a vast ring of meteors revolving around the sun at an angle to the earths orbit; tliat the earth crosses this ring twice a year; that the ring is not uniform in thickness, being made up of clusters separated from each other by thin bands of meteors; and that as the ring is con tinually revolving, the earth does not run into one of these clusters oftener than once every thirty-three years. There are, perhaps, a few persons still living who wit nessed the meteoric display of 1833. People long talked of it as the time when “the stars fell." It must have been the grandest and most awe-inspiring celestial phenomenon that was ever witnessed on this continent. The whole heavens were ablaze with the dazzling meteors, which it was said, came as thickly us rain drops, and the exhibition was continued through the entire night. The common peo ple at that time knew very little of Astronomy as a science, and, in the greatest consternation, they believed that the end of the world had come. The more pious ones called to mind the predictions of Scripture that the powers of heaven should bo shaken, mat the stars should full, the sun should refuse to shine and the moon should be turned into blood, and it may be well conceived, that the pre dictions but confirmed their belief that the “great and notable day" was at hand. Those who first dis covered the display aroused their families and sounded the alarm to their slumbering neighbors, and families that could do so came to gether and spent the night in prayer and supplication. Some few in out of the way places were not aroused, and they spent the night in blissful ignorance of all the wild and weird grandeur that was being displayed above and around them. We have been told that among the negroes on the plantations the scene of up roar and wild excitement beggared ail description. We should he very glad indeed, if some of our older citizens, who wit nessed the scene, would write an ac count of it us they saw it. for the Led ger. Wo are sure that such an ac count v.ould bo read with absorbing interest, now that another such oc currence is confidently predicted. 'Squire Gaffney must have been eighteen or twenty years old at the time, and if he did not happen to be orTtrnnilPblissful sleepers on the oc casion. the scene must have im pressed itself on his mind in a man ner never to be obliterated. Since that day great advances have been made in intelligence and scien tific knowledge, and if the exhibition bo repeated in cordunco with the predictions, it will now be shorn of many of the terrors with which igno rance and superstition then clothed it, and our people will in a measure bo prepared to survey its inellahlo grandeur with some degree of calm ness and appreciation ; though such a scene will be well calculated to inspire with awe and even the most intelligent and philosophic mind. 'I'll K CO MINI ■ orrtlltTI MTV. The meeting of the Baptist Con vention in GalTney in about five weeks from this date will bring to our people mi opportunity which has not heretofore occurred in the his tory of the town. It will he an op portunity for exhibiting before a large and appreciative audience gathered from a wider area than Gaff ney has ever before drawn on, not only the material enterprise of the town, hut its social, moral and re ligious status—its big-heartiness, its hospitality, its true inner spirit. 1 he people who will come hero will come from every county and almost every neighborhood in the state, and there will also be men eminent for piety and learning from other states and perhaps some from the great centers of the north. Those from our state will be the direct representatives of ninety-six thousand people and indirPTitly they will represent the intelligence, re finement, and social life of the en tire state. Besides all these, there will be hundreds of visitors from ail parts of the country who will come for social enjoyment—to meet old friends and to find new ones—to hear and see, and be seen—to mingle with our people in their homes, to leave their impress upon our social life and manners and to carry away with them such impressions as our treat ment of them may make. Gaffney as a town owes it to herself to get ready for this occasion, to dispense her hospitality with an open and generous hand, and to do the honors of the event in no half-way manner. We are gratified to hear that the committees who arc arranging for the entertainment of the delegates and visitors, are meeting with a hearty response on all sides, and the indications so far are that every heart will swell with good cheer and that every door will be thrown wide open to our distinguished visitors. A reception of any less warmth Jand cordiality would not be worthy of the town and the occasion. I NI AIKNKSS. Wo invite attention to an article in another column, copied from The State and called forth by an editorial paragraph published in The Ledger about a week ago. We think that the heading, ''Un fair to Winthrop," given by The State, is “unfair" to the paragraph in question and that the spirited The State’s comments shows that it put a strained construction on our words and dealt more with what we might have siail than with what we actually did say. It will be seen by referring to the paragraph kindly re produced by The State, that we made no onslaught on Winthrop College nor on President Johnson, nor on anybody else. We merely stated some facts which had come within our observation and asked for an explanation. The State, with the help of President Johnson, has given the explanation, and if it be satis factory to Uie public, wo have noth ing more to say. We do not think that we would knowingly inflict an injustice on any body, and we certainly have no de sire at this time to fight Winthrop College. If ever forced by a sense of duty to fight anybody, we hope we shall fully vindicate The State’s gen erous opinion so kindly expressed, and strike only such blows as may he warranted by a spirit of fairness and justice. NO IIKVV(KV) TOIIAY. Admiral Dewey has given notice that he cannot fulfill his engage ments in the South. The strain of public demonstration has been too great for him, and in accordance with medical advice, ho will take a winter’s rest. £0 our people who expected to get a sight of the hero today as ho passed Gaffney, will be disappointed. So, Atlanta always looking out for a sensational boom, will wilt with chagrin and humilia tion. This department of the Led ger is as serene over a failure to get a sight of Dewey, as the blue October skies tliat bend so lovingly above us. Wo have seen hundreds of men who performed acts as daring as Dewey performed in Manila bay, and we have found them only men after all. While in our heart we honor and ad mire them all, it always diminishes our admiration to see them manipu lated by towns and cities, for pur poses of specular exhibition, just as showmen exhibit lions and tigers to the gazing crowd.

THINGS TEACHERS SHOULD AVOID. They Should Guard Against Prejudice. THE COTTON ALL PICKED. Kiiloin (.'hurt'll WUIich to he Transferred from Knoree to Itethel I’reshyterjr- N'eiy;hl)orlioo(l News of Lower Cherokue County. Etta Jane, Oct. 21.—In answer to the question, "What things should a teacher avoid?” we say: The success ful teacher is one who guards against prejudice. He rides no "hobbies” ; never loses his patience while reason ing with parents; avoids wounding the feelings of a dull scholar; never compares one with another; avoids making excuses to visitors; has noth ing to do with other business during school hours; does not attempt to teach too many things; dries not allow puoils to direct their own stud ies, and there are several other quali fications that we might mention, but the foregoing will sufiico we think. The past few days have been par ticularly favorable to cotton picking, corn gathering, oat sowing and all other kinds of farm work. We are glad to note that the Chero kee Investigator is to be revived and that our county town, Blacksburg, is to have a newspaper. We wish it much success. Farmers are putting their best land in oats and wheat this season. This looks like a reduction of next year’s cotton crop, let prices be what they may. There will not be a great deal of cotton to pick alter this month. In this section most of it is already picked out and a great deal marketed. Rev. J. B. Swann preached at Sa lem last Wednesday. His text was Heb. 7 :25. Mr. Newman Smith, of Galfney, had an infant buried at Salem last Wednesday. Mr. and Mr. Theodore Bigham, of Sharon, accompanied by Mrs. Simp son, of Chester county, visited Air. and Mrs. T. J. Estes last Wednesday. Salem church has sent a petition to the Synod to be transfered from Enoree to Bethel Presbytery, and asked for a supply until tho next meeting of Presbytery. There will be several changes among the farm hands and renters this fall and winter. Some speak of going to the cotton mills and others are hunting for better lands, cheaper rents or higher wages. Mr. A. W. Sisk, the veteran tobac conist, passed through this section this week with his samples. He has traveled over a large area of tho cot ton belt and he says the crop is very short everywhere. The day of diligence, duty and devo tion always leaves us richer and wiser than it found us. Mrs. Sallie B. Estes, who has been suffering with sore eyes for several days, is much better. Oliver Cromwell said: ".Success comes not only by striaing tho iron while it is hot, but by making it hot by striking." There are a great many people complaining of colds and ^ore throat. There has been some extensive prospecting for gold just across the river on the York side. We are not able to give the result—wish we could. The favorite oats for this climate are the native red rust-proof. Farm ers who have been using them for years say they scarcely ever fail when sown early and on good land. For one, T. M. Littlejohn, Esq., says put your seed in your best land and if necessary you can follow with u corn crop next summer after the oats come otf. We need intensive rather than extensive farming. There is no sickness in this imme diate section that we know of. Even the chills have stopped their ravages for the present it seems. Some people fail to understand why next year, 1900, is not a leap year. There are several works which explain the reason and we take from a standard work we have, to-wit: “Stepping Stones 10 Success, or Prac tical Business and Intelligent Citizen ship," tho following, which is about as plain as any we have seen: Leap year—Julius Caesar, in B. C. 15, was the first to reform tho calen dar by ordering that every year whose date number is exactly divisable by 4 contain 3G0 and all others 3(15 days. At the same time he changed the beginning of the year from March 1st to January 1st." "1900 no leap year.—The average length of the Julian year is 305j days. This is too long by 11 minutes and 14 seconds and in 400 years amounts to about three days. In 1582 this difference had caused the beginning of the seasons to occur 10 days later than in B. C. 45. Pope Gregory XIII, in order to correct this error, introduced what is known as the Gregorian year, which is the same as the Julian year except that a correc tion of 3 days is made every 400 years. This is done by giving to the century years not divisible by 4(H), as 1700, J8(H), HHM). 305 instead of 300 days. I f, instead of 32 leap years in every 128 years 31 were counted, the error would not amount to more than a day in 100,000 years.” We should never abuse a competi tor—it’s a confession that his busi ness is injuring us: ‘•OiH! ruddy dr<>|> of manly blood the Surfriiiff soli oulwi'lifliM. When a man says you’re a liar be sure to ask him if any respectable man or woman bus confidence enough in his veracity to believe it. J. L. 8. Cotton Market.

In!''.* II11 fair to Wintlirnp. |Columbia State. | The Gaffney Ledger recently pub lished the following: I‘resident Julin> >n, of Winthrop Normal college, writes ihe governor that the college has been comindlcd In I urn olT 200 :ippM''unls for lack uf dormitory room. And yet we happen to know that scholarships are .still being offered, and girls already mat neulutcd in other Institutions are being persuaded to violate their contracts with tlcic Institu tions and go to Winthrop. How is this? Tho Ledger has a perfect right to fight Winthrop, hut we are sure that it does not intend to fight unfairly, so that it will be pleased lo know "how this is.” President Johnson has informed us of the incident to which The Lodger evidently refers, and it is due all parties that the facts bo stated. Every county is entitled by law to us many scholarships at Winthrop us it has representatives in the lower house of the general assembly, the scholarships being awarded competi tive examination. That is well known. One of the young ladies who received a scholarship in Laurens county failed to take it, although the place was held for her until after \\ inthrop and 1)10 other colleges had opened. Tho alternate to whom, and to whom only, the scholarship could be given had in tho meantime en tered Limestone college. Fhc was notified tliat the vacant scholarship was due tier if she wished it, and rh • accordingly left Limestone and went to Winthrop. This is the case as stated by Professor Johnson, and from this The Ledger will realize that it has done Winthrop and its presi dent an injustice in saying that stu dents "are being pursuaded lo violate their contracts” with other institu tions. The Rock Hill school, Pro fessor Johnson informs us, is con stantly receiving applications tven for next session, hut, as in the Lau rens case, the scholarships provided for by the law must bo supplied be fore others are admitted. Wintlirop’s prosperity does not seem to have hurt Limestone nor any oth<r college in the .State, ns fine openings are reported from all, and there really is no reason for the friends of other colleges to assail the State school for giris since its mis sion is different from any other school in the State. But if there is to he opposition, it should he of tho rigiit sort. We doubt not that The | Ledger will make proper amends.
