A STAK SHOW I:K.
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.

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.

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.

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.
Wiisliliig Ihtb.v'n Flinmi'N,
The dear babies’ flannels must he |
