The Comet Now Visible.
The comet discovered by Prof. Daniel
of Princeton University in June, has
been getting nearer to the sun and
earth, and is now visible to the naked
eye. It has a very bright steller nu
cleous, much comma and a short tail.
It is now about the third magnitude,
and can be located by the persons who
desire to sec it by following these di
rections: At 3 a. m. to 3:30 a. m.,
looking due cast at 45 degrees or more
above the horison, will be seen the
Pleiades a well known star cluster in
Taurus, the Bull, and in a line straight
underneath as one looks is the bright
Htar, Aldebaran and the Hyades, anoth
er cluster.
The comet is entering right among
the Hyades, and on August 1st peeped
almost over the star Aldebaran, a little
SOUth. It can be very well seen with
an opera glass. As the dawn begins at
4 o'clock, observation must be made
between 1 and 2 o'clock.
The comet will be nearest the sun or
September 3, at a distance of 46,000,000
nute:), and from the earth 110,000,000
mile :- It is now 85,000,000 miles from
the sun and 70,000,000 miles from the
earth. It must grow much brighter,
but it is getting clos?r to the sun's rays
- rising only a short time before the
dawn appears ?that we may not be ablo
Xo see it at its best.? Baltimore News.
Rising From the Grave.
A prominent manufacturur, Win. A.
Fertwell, of Lucama, N. C, relates a
most remarkable experience. He says:
"After taking less than three botties
of Electric Bitters, I feel like one ris
ing from the grave. My trouble is
Bl ight's disease, in the Diabetes stage,
I fully believe Electric Bitters ivill cure
me permanently, for it has already
stopped the liver and bladder complica
tions which have troubled me for
years." Guaranteed at Laurens Drug
Co., and Palmetto Drug Co. Price

Effect of Automobiles on Roads.
At a meeting of the Los Angeles
hoard of supervisors and the highway
commission G. H. Squires, who re
turned recently from Europe, told of
the building and maintenance of roads
there. Contrary to general belief, he
said, affairs have not yet reached the
stage of perfection abroad, although
they are far in advance of the United
States. Fast autos, he said, are bad for
jj. good roads, and slow autos are good
Wor bad roads. ?Ex.
Good roads In Cuba.
4 It is reported that about eighty miles
*>f good roads will bo built this year in
the province of Havana, Cuba.

Electric Power Soon Here.
Report? from Boyd's mill section are
alive with the progress made on tho
Reedy River Power Co., dam. The
contractor who evidently knows his
business spared no time nor expense in
getting ready for the job and when he
was ready, rock and stone began to
move.
President Dial states that the power
will be ready for use before 1st of Jan
uary and he is anxious for all those
who contemplate its use to confer with
him so that he may be able to make
estimates and put them in possession
of such other information as may be of
value.
Of course all the power will be con
sumed in the city one way or another
but Mr. Dial is anxious for the small
enterprises to take hold of it first as
they are the ones that it will pay best
to both parties. And besides these are
one of the greatest needs to the city.
Let everybody act quick.
Slay With the Farm.
Much is being said and written urging
the rising generation to stay on the
farm instead of flocking to the great
cities.
Tho farm is the very best place for
young people.
The same thing can be said in regard
to old folks. It is also the best place
for them. One of the saddest sights
we see is when old folks and middle
aged people, who have lived all their
lives on the farm, raised large families
and surrounded themselves with the
luxuries and comforts which only the
country can furnish and the city cannot
supply?just when they have everything
fixed so they can lay back and enjoy
life -sell the old farm and with it all
that memory cherishes and move to
town, thinking that they will be better
satisfied and that they ha*vc at last at
tained the ease and freedom from care
which is their due after a life's strug
gle with adversity. This would be all
right if it brought about the desired re
sult, but it does not. It all seems very
nice and restful for a while, but in
nearly every ease after a year or so of
town life with its rush and rattle, with
the high prices which they must pay for
the same necessities that they had al
ways heretofore produced themselves,
without horses, cows or chickens, for
these things cannot be kept in town ex
cept at great expense, they begin to
long for the old farm with its milk, but
ter and eggs?plenty for all and some
to sell.
It is hard feu* a man and a woman
whose lives have always been full of
action to suddenly cease from manual
labor and pass their remaining days in
leisure. The old folks seldom enjoy the
sports and pastimes with which the
youth of the city beguile the passing
hour and time hangs heavy on their
hands.
Stay with the farm, whether you be
old or young, and you will never be as
sailed by the ills and bills which nearly
make life a burden to the city dwell
er.?Pacific Homestead.
Laughable Forg etf illness.
As Sheridan Knowles, the dramatist,
was walking down the Strand one day
with a friend he stopped to greet a
gentleman, wdio, however, received
him very coldly. "Do you know," said
ho to Knowles, "that you owe me an
apology?"
"An apology! What for?" asked
the dramatist.
"For not keeping that dinner engage
ment you had with me last Thursday.
I had a number of people to meet you,
and you never came or even sent sin
explanation of your absence."
"Oh!, I'm so sorry!" exclaimed
Knowles. "I've such a memory that 1
forgot all about the affair; forgive me
and invite me to another dinner."
It was then arranged that he should
dine with the gentleman on the follow
ing Wednesday, and in order to secure
against the engagement being again
forgotten he there and then recorded
it in his diary. On rejoining his friend
he told him the story of his lapse of
memory.
"Who is the gentleman?" asked the
friend.
"Well, I'm blessed!" cried Sheridan
Knowles. "I have forgotten bis name."
"That's funny," said the friend,
"but you can easily find it out by re
ferring to the directory. You know
his address, of course."
"No, not even that!" roared the un
happy dramatist. American Press.
