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

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

FAIR FANE OF HEBRON COMMUNITY |
Unsullied by Any Crime ol Assault?
Reports to the Contrary Erroneous.
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.

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.
