Leaf From the Past.

The following is from Pennsylva-
MIA paper. Col. SimontOn's visit to Due
West is we'll remembered by many cit
izens of that place:
';Dr. w. IL. Grier, president of Frs
kline college, at Due West, S. c., died
suddenly Of apoplexy Sunday.
''Dr. Grier paid visit few years
since to his benefactOr, the late Maj
S. c. SimOntOn, of the Fifty seventh
Pennsylvania regiment, Clarksville. At
the battle of Williamsburg, the for
tunes of war left the young Confeder-
ate, Grier, prisoner, seriously wound
ed in the hands Of SimOntOn's regi-
ment. The gallant and kind hearted
federal took compassion on the youth,
for he was mere lad in his teens, sup
piled special surgical attention, aud
when able to be moved SimontOn gave
him money, every dollar he possessed,
to aid the boy in reaching his southern
home, there to die in the arms of his
family, as SimOntOn believed, aud has
often related the affecting story.
"FOr more than twenty years Grier

Niue Million Bales.

Price, Mccormick &. Co., of New
York, who have steadily fought the
cotton bears all the season, have issued
new circular, giving over 900 let
ters from all parts of the cotton belt.
The reports are all the samc-"crOp
short but banks independent and
farmers able to hold until January or
later and no accumulations anywhere -
On the 10th instant, the government
at Washington made its October re-
port with regard to the condition of
the cotton crop. which it put ut GA,
the lowest, with one exception, on
record. This exception was in Octo-
ber, 1896, when the condition of the
crop was estimated ut 60.7. In that
season the total production was, ap-
proXimately, S,700,O0OO.
Orleans. issued Il circular in which lie
stated that the indications pointed to
Il crop OF 100000 bales. Mathc-
matically, the government figures,
taken in cOnjunction with the govern
ment acreage. would Indicate il crop of
about 5000, 600 bales, and tic fact that
the receipts OF cotton ut the ports dur
ing the past week were the smallest
for the corresponding week of any
year since 1887 would seem to sustain
the conclusion suggested by the gov
ernment figures. Mr.. Neill and his fol-
lowing, however, insist that the crop is
n large one, and that the southern
farmers, in their efforts to force for
eign spinners to pay high prices for the
article. are holding it back.
That the crop is Il small one seems to
us absolutely certain, in view of the
overwhelming evidence in that direct
ion, and we are coming to feel that it
is smaller than almost anyone has pre-
viously believed, or has the courage
now to admit.

against one another like scattering
storm of locusts. to the right and to
the left. This phenomenon lasted till
daybreak. People were thrown into
CONSERVATION and cried to God, the
Most High, with confused clamor. -
According to DR.. Denniug, the most
brilliant display in our annals was the
No?ember meteoric shower of 1888
In Boston alone it is estimated that
240, 900 meteors were visible during
the seven hours duration of the
shower. Concerning this shower, he
says:
"The words 'prodigious,' stupen-
dous, and magnificent do not de-
scribe it. Compared with the splcndor
Of this celestial exhibition, the most
brilliant rockets and fireworks Of art
bore less relation than the most tiny
star to the broad glare Of the sun.
Stars fell until there was none left.
"a South Carolina planter, writing
of this mcteoric display and its effect
upon the negroes Of his plantation,
says: 4 was suddedly awakened by
the most distressing cries that ever
fell Oh my ears. Shrieks of horror
and cries for mercy I could hear from
most Of the negroes Of three planta-
tions, amounting in all to 600 or 500.
while earnestly listening for the
cause, 1 heard faint voice near the
door calling my name. I arose and
taking my sword stood at the door.
At this moment I heard the same
voice beseeching me to rise and saying,
'Oh, my God The world is on fre!'
II then opened the door, and it is
difficult to say which excited me the
most-distressed cries Of the negroes.
Upward Of hundred lay nrostrate
on the ground-some speechless, but
with hands rpraised, imploring God
to save the world and them. The
scene was truly awful; for never did
rain fall much thicker than did the
meteors toward the earth, east and west,
north and south, it was the same.
OF INTEREST TO ALL.
cit may be safely said," continues
DR.. Denning, "that in the month of
November all astronomers and great
majority of tho general public will be-
come meteoric observers, for the phe-
nomena presented will be of an ex-
ceptional kind and of character to
interest every one.
'There is scarcely any natural event
which to the observant eye is so brill
liant and so impressive and animated
as rich shower of meteors.
"a solar total eclipse, with it's weird
shadow bands, corona and red promi-
nences, large comet with it's train
spread over considerable extent Of
the heavens, and brilliant aurora bo-
realis, with its streamers aud conden-
sations of crimson lights have their
striking attributes, but it is question
able whether they can compare with
the remarkable features which accom-
papy great fall Of shooting stars.
The rarity Of the spectacle also en-
hances its interest, so that when once
seen it is never forgotten.
''For hours meteors descend, not
singly or in pairs, but in bursts Of ten
or twenty or more, and they are mostly
fine objects like Sirius or stars of the
first magnitude"
