Ii t i . HALLEY COMET GASES I i Scientists Discuss the Question oi ' Danger to earth. The opinion of tlie well knownFrench astronomer, ('ami He Flammarion, that'thereis possible danger I in the approach of the Halley comet, which may gravely affect the earth, on May 1$, is not shared by ail as- . tronomers. j ( - ?' M Bigourdau. member of the 11 Freuch Academy of Sciences and i | one of fbe directors of the observa- j, tory in Paris, thus answers a quts-, j tion Dut to him on the subject: "It j is possible that the gaseous atmos- ; | phere of the comet will touch us | when it passes, but we shall be no more npset than we were in 1811) 2 and 1861." , M Baillaud. another director of ( the Paris observatory, says: "'Wei' shal 1 scarcely perceive the passage j of the earth through the comet's t tail. The gases that form the tail j are so rarefied aud are spread over j such great distances that it is possi- ? ble that if there be any shoca be- j i tween the two atmospheres tne comet ( will be the loser." M Deslandres, of the Meudou ob- j servatorv, cites previous ex j periences of the earth with comets j and says that accordiug to exact f calculations, the earth was touch- j ed by the tails of different comets j in the 18th century. The chroniclers < of the time note the prevalence of | fear. "More recently," says jm L>es- j land res, "a comet almost touched the j surface of Jupiter, but apparently j there was no perturbation? "Probably there will be seen a < 6hower of shooting stars in the < upper regions of the sky," he j says. "It seems that the tails of | certain comets, perhaps when they ] are on the decline, break up and I J form meteors which follow their ] ^ directions and have the same orbit 1 as the origiual comet." ( On the other hand, it is pointed ' out that the spectroscope has shown i that there is a large quantity of i frou in fha afmnanhprp i ^Mjauv??v ???! . surrounding Hal ley's comet, and i some chemists, such as M Dastre, I say that being practically without ' odor, the presence of the gas would i not easily be perceived. A mix-tore of this gas with air would lead i to certain poisoning. M Armand 1 Gautier adds the cheerful informa- \ tion that in the presence of fire or < t a small electric spark a mixture of < cyanogen gas and air will explode. | May Kill All Earth Life. 1 Prof Edwin Booth, of the depart- ^ ment of chemistry at the Univerai- ( ty of California, said recently that 1 if astronomers are correct in their estimate of the amount of cvanogen gas in the tail of Hallev's comet, there may be a cbauce of the extermination of all animal life from h this earth. Some astronomers pre 1 diet that the cornet's tail will en- 1 ek)pe the earth for a short time. jj * * ] Notice to Everybody.

Mr (' \V Adams, of the IJebrcn j section, informs us that the people j of Ins neighborhood deprecate the! reports that have gone out concern-' iug the two recent cases of criminal in this foilnrv in so far as they gave Hebron as the scene of both crimes, when, as a matter of j Fact, no such crime had been com- I mitted iu that law-abiding community. The first of the outrages referred to occurred at Bethel and Mouzou's Bridge was the scene of the other, says Mr Adams. Mr Adams' statement is received is information, and we, of course, :ake pleasure in printing his disclaimer as to his home community. IVe are always auxious to give the lews, but we are still more desirous o publish the facts, and we always vel grateful to auyone who will joint out any error that may get iato ;he columns of this newspaper that *e may make due correction or emendation. We must confess to h little surprise, however, at the information mparted by Mr Adams. Necessarily depeudeut on what we hear, when the place is too remote for personal investigation, iu a matter of unusual interest we assimilate our data, gathered frequently from various persons supposed to know what they ire talking about, to make our report intelligible and as accurate as possible. To verify every detail iu luch cases would be a hopeless unlertaking. In all the accounts ;iven us of the first of these cases of issault, we never heard auy other place mentioned as the scene except Hebron,and the second crime, we were told, was committed near the same place, one of our informants, we beieve,estimating the distance apart as >nly about a mile. The editor of rhe Record has never had the pleasire of visiting the Hebron communty, heuce our ideas of the imaginiry lines that mark its bonndaries ire rather vague. Id our mind we lad associated "Hebron" and 'Bethel" as cloeely associated, if :iot practically the same section. We a.*e glad to be set straight by Mr Adams, however, as to the two localities, a6 well as theplaces where vere committed the two harrowing :nme8 that have stirred the sympa;hy and righteous anger of the good people of our whole county. Cerainly we would respect none the ess the uufortunate victims of the ;rime, or the community where the Plow chanced to fall. Wti't Need i Crotch.

Ten Doctors Said He Would Die "In 1903 we wrote you regarding my husband, who was suffering from heart trouble. He was superanuated by the North Georgian Conference. Ten doctors at different times said he would die. You advised Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy and ReMprvtnp wp HtH as i advised, and improvement was apparent from the very first. He recovered and the Conference in 1904 gave him a charge. He never felt better, although he has very heavy work and does a great deal of camp meeting work. I am so glad we took your advice and gave him the medicine, and feel that I ought to let you know of the wonderful good results from its use." MRS. T. S. EDWARDS, Milner, Ga. This proves what Dr. Miles' Heart Remedy will do. Get a bottle from your druggist and take it according to directions. It docs not matter whether your heart is merely weak, or you have organic trouble, if it does : not benefit you take the empty 1 bottle to your druggist and get your money back.
