THE BABY WITNESS.
A Glitter OF Coin that Entrapped an
Released the Infants Mother.

The following touching incident
recently occurred in a court of justice
in Paris:
A poor, pale seamstress was arraigned
for theft. She appeared at the bar with
her baby of eleven mhnths on her arm.
She went to get some work one day
AMI stole some gold coins of 10 francs
each. The money was missed soon
after she left her employer, and a SER
want was sent to her room to claim it:
The servant found her about TO quit
the room with the three gold coins in
her hand. She said to the servant.
"Iwas just going to carry them back
to yop." Nevertheless, she was ear
ried u 1.-THE commissioner of police, and
he ordered her to go before the police
for trial, She was too poor to engage
a lawyer, and when asked by the judge
what she had to say for herself, she
answered: 1.-THE day l went to my
employers l carried my child with me.
1t was in my lap as it is now. 1 was
not paying attention to it. There were
several gold coins on the mantelpiece,
and unknown to me. it. stretched out
its little hand and seized three pieces,
which Ibid not observe till l got home.
L at ono put on my bonnet, and was
going back to my employer to return
them, when 1 was arrested. This is
the solemn truth, as Ihope for heavens
mercy.
The court could not believe this story.
They upbraided the mother for her
imprudence in endeavoring to palm off
such a manifest lie for the truth. They
besought her, for her own sake, to re-
tract such an absurd tale, for it could
have no effect but to oblige the court
to sentence her to a much severer
punishment than they were disposed
to inlict upon one S young, and evil
IDENTIFY so deep in poverty.
These appeals had nc effect. except
to strengthen the poor mothers per-
.tinacious adherence to the original
story.
As this iirmness was sustained by
that look Of innocence which the most
adroit criminal cannot counterfeit,
the court was at some loss to discover
what decision justice demanded. To
relieve their embarrassment one of the
judges proposed to renew the scene
described by the mother. Three pcld
coins were placed on the clerks table.
The mother was requested to assume
the position in which she stood in her
employers house. There was then a
breathless pause in court. The baby
soon discovered the bright coins, eyed
them for a moment, smiled, and then
stretched forth its tiny hand and
clutched them in its fingers with q
miser's eagerness. The mother was at
once acquitted.

The License Question Taking Shape.

At meeting of the citizens of the town
who are opposed to the further granting Of
licenses for retailing liquor in the town held
on Tuesday evening in Temperance Hall, q
committee was appointed to report to an
adjourned meeting at the same place on
next Tuesday the best plan of proceeding
in the matter in order to secure fair ex-
preston of the wishes of the citizens OF the
town on the question. 1t is the desire OF
the eno license men to eliminate the Is
sue entirely from politics, and have the
question settled on its merits. This posi-:
ton, it seems to US, is the correct one, and
we hope both parties will leave. the ques:.
ton as to whether license is to be granted
or not to be determined at an election two
or three days subsequent to the election tor
Town Council. Let the town Democratic
Club nominate ticket and bind its nomi-
nees to abide by the result of the election
on the license issue, whether it be for or
against granting license, This ought to be
acceptable to both parties, as it would en-
sure the election of good men and secure
fair expression of opinion on the subject.
We would regard the nomination of two
tickets as unfortunate, as it would create
factions and make the men and not the
measure the most important consideration
in the fight. Let there be but one ticket,
and let the license question be settled at an
election two or three days after the regular
election for town officers.

Death of Mrs. Peggy Byrum.

We regret to announce the death Of Mrs.
Peggy Byrum, which occurred at the resi-
dence of her husband, Mr.. Joseph L. By,
Saturday. Mrs, Byrum was daughter of
the late Elisha Burriss, of this county, and
was at the time of her death very old lady.
She was up to short time before her death
full of energy and activity far beyond that
usually found in persons of her years, and
throughout her long life had been gener-
ous and selfsacrifcing Christian. She was
a kind neighbor, fond wife and devoted
mother. She leaves large circle Of chill
dren, grand children, relatives and friends
who cherish her memory and Christian
deeds.
Her remains were placed to rest in the
family graveyard near the residence on
Sunday evening, after solemn and appro-
pirate funeral services, conducted by Rev.
+. NJ. Aver. An aged and respected lady
has passed from our MIDST.

appointments Recalled.

The Foreign Mission Board of the South
ern Baptist Convention has recalled the
appointment of Revs. John Stout, of So
cfety Hill, and T. P. Bell, of Anderson, to
be missionaries to- China, in consequence Of
difference of views upon the subject of the
inspiration Of the Scriptures the majority
of the Board holding to the doctrine of q
plenary or verbal inspiration of the Bible,
while the gentlemen named adopt the view
thai the Scriptures were written by in
spired men in their own language and style
of expression. While we are gratifed that
these gentlemen are not to leave South
Carolina, we cannot but censure the course
of the Board, for if they intended to make
any question upon this subject, it should
have been done before the appointments
were made. Their action is piece of in
tolerance and arrogance not often met with.
1t amounts to saying that unless man
agrees with them in the detail of doctrine,
he shall not preach the gospel to the
heather, and if the Board are not vigilant
their action will result in sending no mis-
sionaries to China. at all. One thing may
be considered certain, and that is that the
action of the Board has sown the seeds of
q discussion, and perhaps dissension, in the
Baptist Church which will not be settled
in a day o., a year, perhaps not in life
time. By reyoking these appointments
they have done incalculable mischief.

tain great solar disturbances that were sub
sequently witnessed and that made them
selves felt in the electrical condition of the
earth. The discovery that vast trains of
meteors follow in the tracks of comets rem
ders it all the more likely that the fall of q
comet upon the sun would be disastrous to
the earth.
But the astronomers reassuringly assert
that the chance of a comet plunging into
the sun is very slight. They have all space
to wander in, and although they are drawn
toward the sun when they fall within the
scope of his attraction, the resulting orbits
such that they swing around him on curve,
and are then flung out into space again.
There is something exceedingly impressive
in the thought that great comets probably
wander from sun to sun, travellers through
the universe. Now one visits us, and some
millions of years hence it may glow in the
morning and evening skies of the worlds
that circle around Sirius or Aldebaran.

The New Ethereal Visitor.

The new comet is attracting considerable
attention, and from its peculiar position has
in more than one place been counted aS two.
It appears below the North star in the north
western sky in the fore part Of the night,
and then in the morning hours appears in
the: northeast, so that it has been counted
twice by those who lose sight of the fact
that its relative position to the North star
remains unchanged and its new position to
the earth is the same as that of the other
stars in that portion of the heavens.
BY the way, it may be matter of inter
est to some people to know that the comet
is said to be rapidly approaching the sun,
and if the two come into collision fearful
wreck will ensue. This comets tail is eight
million miles long and its head is said to be
very large body. As it gets nearer the
sun the brilliancy of its head will decrease,
so that any one can keep posted as to the
chances of collision by closely watching
the amount of light emitted from it. When
the head gets very near to the sun it will
probably not be visible at all.
The place of the comet is few degrees
southeast of the bright star Capella, which
is star of the first magnitude in constella-
ton Auriga. Capella rises far in the north
east at about half-past 1 o'clock in the
morning No one can mistake the star as
there is no other bright star near it. Its
tail reaches up in the direction of the North
Polar star. It may be seen at any hour of
the night.
The astronomers are not agreed whether
the comet is one that has visited our sys-
tenn before or new conner on this shoal OF
the universe, but they all say that it gives
promise of becoming remarkably large and
brilliant. Several observers lay claim to
the honor of discovery, and it is not yet
determined who shall have the $500 comet
prize offered by Mr.. Warner of Rochester.
The astronomers have long been wishing
for chance to get at first-rate comet for
many interesting questions have arisen since
they had the great comet of 1858, and its
brilliant successor of 1861, III the feld OF
their telescopes.
The astrologers and Mother Shiptonites
will also be busy. Comets have in all ages
been the most efficient allies of those who
make money and influence by catering to
the superstitious. The World has more
than once been terrorized by a comet, and
even Newton contributed to the distrust
with which the comet of 1850 was regarded.
He calculated that the comet was headed
almost straight at the sun, and it was be-
lieved then, as it is = :, that if comet
should plunge into Il y it would heat
that luminary up to su .Negree as to de-
stroy the earth. Newto. not wrong i'll
his figures, for the comet pass very near
the sun. The comet of 1913, however, went
yet closer. In fact, it is said to have grazed
the SUMS surface and some astronomers
have assumed this to be the cause OF GER
