MEMORABLE COLORED DAYS.
Some Remarkable Days in the History
of the World.
On January 27, 1306, from sunrisa
until mldn'M.f, the churches of Eu
rope were < rvded with kneeling
suppliant ^, wl i.j solemn chants and
the smo e of ae censers arose unin
terruptedly.
Thousand of terrified people lay
prone ; po’. their faces in the streets
and s uar s. Women, clutching their
infc.'.’s t » their breasts, ran, half
na. J, .ricking along the highways,
’red ors forgave debts; usuers
ss upon, their ruined clients
: ..dr ill-gotten gains; rich men dis-
tril ed their wealth in the name of
c ty to all who would consent to
~i( pt.
.ilminals voluntarily confessed to
’ ir misdeeds and besought the ex-
emity of human justice. Kings and
princes tiirew off their erime, donned
the rags of beggary and vowed new
crusades for the recovery of the holy
sepulchre from the Turk.
Men went mad. Anarchists and
hermits issued from their cells, wild
eyed, clad In goat skins or sackcloth,
and stalking through the streets
cried aloud: “Woe! woe! the hour
of judgment at hand!”
It was the day of the Red Terror
described by the ancient chroniclers.
The dawn broke clear and mild as
in minsuramer, we are told, and “not
a cloud of a ban Ibreath’s bigness was
to he seen In all the sky.” But just
before the sun rose a strange red haze
or mist overspread the heavens, deep
ening in hue and density, until at
o’clock the firmament was a crimson
pall, which obscured the sun and cast
a dull, ominous glare upon the eirth
like the reflection from a tremendous
conflagration at a distance.
Despite the unnatural illumination,
the gloom was so profound, eyon at
midday, “that one man k«ew not an-
' other, though he were his own brqth-
I er.” Toward three of the afternoon I
( tnere came a great s»Mendor of crim-'
, ton. like blood, and some cried that!
now, indeed, the heavens were depart-j
ing as a scroll when it is rolled to
gether.
At about midnight the firey pall j
disappeared as a ship driven before
a strong wind, the stars came forth
in their tranquil beauty, and the pan-1
ic-striken world grew calm agajn.
In April of the year in which Co
lumbus set out upon his memorable
voyage to the Indies, incidentally dis-j
covering America, occurred the won-i
l derful green day.
During the forenoon there had been
a succession of liaht showers, but at,
'2 o’clock the sky cleared, and the
sun shone brightly. At an hom* s past
noon the sun grew pale and lost its
brilliancy, though there was no trace
of vapor in the atmosphere.
At the same time the azure hue of
the sky changed to a livid green,
deepening gradually to a rich emer
ald tint. The sun became wholly in-1
visible, and there was a sort of pre- j
ternatural twilight upon the earth.'
The green hue was so intense that I
“all objects took the color of oak
leaves, and men stared in affright at
each others’ faces.” for they. too.
were of the nrevailing livid green.
The populace poured into the streets
to gaze in terror at the emerald sky,
and to ask each other what had be
come of the sun, and if the end of
the wolrd were at hand.
Bolls were tolled, services were
held in dll the churches. In one
French town several persons expired j
from fright. At about 8 o’clock in
the evening the sky resumed its nor
mal aspect.
There are several yellow davs on
record, the most remarkable being
that which occurred in thy reign of
Charles IX, of France, and was re-
carded by the Huguenots as a mani-
tVstitation of the divine wrath against
the authors of the massacre of St.
Bartholomew.
"All the previous night such a tem
pest of wind blew as not the oldest
man had seen. Steeples fell with a
horrible crash. Some strong houses
and places fell fiat upon the earth.
Whole forests were leveled and thous
ands of deer destroyed, so that there
was no hunting in all the realm for
the space of six years.
“Some heard loud and terrible
voicer crying in the air, denouncing
punishment upon the blood-guilty.
Some heard the shattering blasts of
vast trumpets, so that the soul faint
ed at the sound.”
At sunrise the storm died down to
a breathless calm. It became so in
tensely hot that cattle died in the
fields, men fell down in the streets,
steam rose from standing pools and
hayricks took fire.
Yet there was no visible sun.
The sky was a brilliant yellow, like
that, sometimes seen In the west at
early twilight, deepening toward noon
to a splendid orange, and later to an
ugly muddy brown. So frightful was
the omen "that men. not daring to go
f^r*h for the dreadful heat, confessed
themselves to each other, forgave
debts and old feuds. Those that ven
tured out of doors drenched their
clothing with water, which turned to
vapor in a hundred paces. Many
died in their houses, whether of heat
or fear, and half the world was over
come.”
The Dark day of the American Rev
olution has been frequently describ
ed. to many yet living, by ancieut
people who were eye-witnesses. This
account was given by a Rhode Island
lady, a cousin of General Nathaniel
Greene:
“The sky was clear until noon,
when the sun began to fade, as if its
light were withdrawn, until it needed
very keen eyes to mark Its position
In the heavens. At first there was a
sort of greenish twilight, then every
thing became as dark as midnight.
The stars came out. The fowls went
to roost.
"People looked at their clocks, sure
that they must somehow have mis
taken the time. The churches and
meeting houses were open. The bells
tolled mournfully.
“Some men stood upon the cofqers
I preaching that this was the last da’’
, fortold by the evangelists. Some
1 people wrapped themselves in white
sheets and sat at open windowg or on
roofs, singing hymns. But Just before
sunset the sky cleared.
“1 remember that my mother and
father embraced each other, then
kissed me, and seemed overjoyed,
and the street was full of people run
ning to and fro and shouting that the
world was safe.”

Suffered Long Y/ith Catarrh.
Miss Clara Case, 116 9ih street, N. W.,
Washington, I). C., writes:
‘‘I can think of no event, in my life
that fills me with more gratitude and
at the same time a sense of future
security, as a cure after long suffering
from catarrh, brought about by usimr
Peruna as directed. It has completely
cured me.”—Clara Case.

"A few months ago 1 contracted a cold
by getting my feet wet, and although 1
used the usual remedies I could not
shake it off.

“Peruna lias effectually cured me
after physicians had practically given
up my case.
“For a long time I suffered with ca
tarrh of the kidneys, hail a weakness
and pain in the hack, lost f • sh rapidly,
my feet were swollen, my face was
puffed under the eyes and I had a waxy
sallowness of the skin.
* I took Peruna for some time and am
entirely well. I cannot endorse Peruna
too strongly.”—Gertrude Linford
If you suffer from catarrh in any
form, do not delay. Take Peruna
at once. Delays are dangerous.

NEW YORK FASHIONS.
Suggestions for Children’s Clothes;
School Apparel.
With the opening of the fall school
term the problem of the children’s
outfitting becomes once more of vi
tal interest to every mother. How |
to remodel the leftover wardrobe so j
that it Yvill look presentable and i
fresh, and what to buy in now ma- i
terials and garments that will he
practical and in good taste. All this
must he accomplished without over
stepping the limits set for judicuujs
expenditure.
Remodeling.
The various styles of suspenedr
frocks lend themse’ves especially well
to remodeling. Last year’s waist
though badly worn will easily supply
with mohair quite, as useful as ever
and in weaves so different from the old
time ones that it is not recognizable
except to the initiated. Children’s’
apparel of all sorts get the hardest
kind of wear and should he chosen
with this fact in mind. Materials'
should be of good quality and colors
selected should he such as will stand
washing or exposure to the sun or
rain. Among the most satisfactory
fabrics for children’s use are the Cra-
vanettes.
Thanks are due the McCall Co., for
illustrations of children’s styles.
Footwear.
One of the most important points
both for the sake of appearance and
of comfort is the dressing of the feet.
Shoes must he not only smart looking
hut should he built on orthopoedic
ven*. The skirts of in r.-p length are
still plaited, and coats a’-e of an em
barrassing diversity of styles and
lengths from the quite long redingote
to the short Eton. The latter pre
sents itself more insistently than
ever, the claim to favor justified by
its natty and varied expression in
the new models. Lucy Carter.
the material for the suspenders, espe
cially as any piecing necessary can
he hidden by braid or velvet ribbon
trimmings and by fancy buttons th|t
are lavishly employed on some of the
newest models shown at the up-to-
date places in New York. For length
ening the skirt various expedients
are employed, hards of contrasting
material overlaid with braid may he
used or if some of the original pat
tern is In hand, tucks may be modlsh-
ly used as a trimming and the piec
ing done underneath them.
Contrasting Materials and Colors.
Where the suspender frock Is of
plain material the waist Is often of
plaid and always in contrasting ef
fect. Plaids are also modlshly em
ployed for the dresses and then plain
colored materials are used for the
waist. Several different waists are
worn with the same skirt, washable
cottons, and silk or heavier wools for
colder weather.
Fashionable Fabrics.
Serges, Henriettas and cashmeres
lead In fashionable fabrics tor the
children as they do for the grown ups
lines to aid in the correct develop
ment of the growing feet, and stock
ings should he well shaped and sub
stantial so that they are not continu-
ually wrikllng; and on the subject of
the Buster Brown stocking Tnow so
generally known) children and moth
ers are in perfect harmony—the for
mer delighted to wear any’hing that
reminds them of their friend Buster,
the latter equally delighted to find so
durable an article, one which sav*;
them to a great extent from the labor
of constant darning. There seems
to he a veritable craze for everything
that pertains to the mischievous
Buster. The proper, washing of chil
dren’s stockings Is of great importance
if they are to keep their shape and
color perfectly. The average laun
dress does not rinse the stockings
sufficiently and they iron them.
Stockings should never he Ironed but
stretched and dried carefully.
Ladies’ Autumn Walking Suits.
It is to this the mind of the modish
woman gives its first consideration,
when turned toward the subject of
new garments for the season in ad-
To Preach in Gaffney.
«
Rev. R. Gordon Matheson. a prom
inent divine of Durham. N. C., will
preach to the congregation of the
Presbyterian church in this city Sun
day morning and afternoon.
Mr. Matheson comes to Gaffney as
a stranger, but In a private letter to
a friend in this city Mr. H. Fay Gaff
ney, who is intimately acquainted with
the minister, writes; “I have known
Mr. Matheson for a year, and hate
found him to he a most excellent gen
tleman in every respect. 1 have heard
him preach only once, hut was very
much impressed with his discourse.”
Every one in Gaffney has a cordial
invitation to come out to hear Mr.
Matheson.
Delegates to Richmond.
R. C. Sarratt and Ed H. DeCamp
have been appointed by Governor Hey
ward to represent Cherokee county at
the Farmers’ National Congress at
Richmond, Va., Sept. 12th to 22nd.
Is it Right?
Is it right that a property-owner
should lose $4.20 to let a dealer make
50 cents? A dealer makes 50 cents
more on fourteen gallons of ready-
for-use paint, at $1.50 per gallon, than
our agent does on eight gallons of L.
& M. paint and six gallons of linseed
oil, which makes fourteen gallons of
the best paint In the world, at $1.20
per gallon; the property-owner loses
just $4.20. Is It right?
It only requires 4 gallons of L. ft
M. and 3 gallons linseed oil to paint
a moderate sized house.
