THE FALLING STARS.

its way through space in a 33.year
orbit, failed to arrive last week on
schedule time, and to that extent the
elaborate calculations of the astrono.

That astronomers everywhere were
deceived, there is no doubt. The previ-
Gus dispatches told of elaborate prep.
arations for observation that were
made at all the great universities in
the country, and described also the
great interest that was felt by the
general public in the expected remark
able event. The papers of last Friday
morning, too, told of how the scientific
observers at one point counted 60
meteors, and how they at another
point counted 80 and so on. These
slight manifestations were looked
upon and represented to be part
of the fiery rain of leonids; but as
matter of fact, it is claimed that by
careful watching of the entire heavens,
observers may see as many shooting
stars" almost any clear night.

because the responsibility for it hap
pens to rest on the Republicans. If we
will only use intelligent discrimination,
we may convict the Republicans of

SIGNS OF PROGRESS.

The noticeable changes that have
come over the town of Yorkvlle dur
ing the past few years are interesting
We have called attention to the mat
tr1r--'--fo-v,- -'--1-.i-.---l-i~--i..lss .anis
are all impressed with the situation.
Up to last year, or year before last
anyway, the appearance Of strange
face on the streets was an event readi.
ly noticeable to large number of res.
idents who did not have much else to
do beside keep track of such things.
Now strange faces are so numerous
that it puzzles even the policeman to
tell who belongs here and who does
not.
AS far back as the memories of the
oldest inhabitants extend, salesdays
have been especially noticeable for the
lsrger number of strangers in town
thai on other days. There are as
many visitors on salesdays now proba-
oly as ever: but it often happens dur.
ing the week that the streets are
crowded with sS many people as on
salesdays. This is especially the case
on Saturday afternoons, when some
times as many as a hundred people
may be counted within a couple of
hundred yards.
In proportion to the total population,
there appears to be fewer loafers here
now than ever before. The increased
population is occasioned, as has al
ready been stated, largely by the COT
ton mills and the smaller enterprises
and industries that have been spring
ing up one after another.
There is no boom on and nothing
that savors of boom but with in
tense qualification it may be seen that
the town is steadily and surely grow
ing. Present business and industrial
conditions generally appear to be bet
ter than they have ever been before,
barring the slight curtailment of the
country trade on account of the cotton
crop shortage, and the outlook for
continued growth and progress was
never hetter.

ADVANCING A PRICES.

The recent article OIL the subject Of
advancing prices was written without
consultation with any local merchant.
The information given was. procured
from the market reports as published
10 different standard commercial pub
lications.
But the information was strictly cor.
rect, and it has attracted local inter-
est. A Yorkville business man has
kindly placed in the hands of the re-
porter, the data from which he can
quote some actual figures.
A batch of price quotations on cot
ton goods, covering the period from
August 81, 1898, TO November II,
1899, shows the steady advance with a
clearness which cannot be misinterpre-
ted. For instance: On August 81,
1898, "4.4 American sheeting AGO
yards to the pound," was quoted
wholesale at 3 cents per yard. On
April 10, last, the same goods were
worth At cents yard and on Sep
tember 8, they had avanced to Al. On
November II, the wholesale price,
with freight added, was 81 cents, and
the jobbers were advising the mer.
chants that this price would soon
"look cheap"
A cotton goods drummer was 10 a
local dry goods store last Friday while
the proprietor was waiting on Gus
toner. One of the sales made to the
customers was quantity of sheeting
at 5 cents yard. After the customer
left, the drummer remarked: 81 came
in here to sell you lot of that goods +;
but I'll tell you right now cannot
sell it to you as cheap as you have just
sold it,"
And so it goes. The advance does
not apply to cotton goods alone. The
wholesale prices on all kinds of goods
are advancing, and there are quanti-
ties of goods on the shelves of the
merchants of this section that are now
very cheap, compared with what they
are likely to be later on.

idle. He looked forward to the event
to reap a rich harvest, and had the
shower taken place he would, no doubt,
have sold TO the newspapers many
wonderful stories. Even as it was, he
was not entirely suppressed. Here is
dispatch that was sent out by the AS
sociated Press and printed in all the
papers that did not consider it too
absurd:
LONDON, November 16.-In Russia, the
leonid display caused a panic in many
places. It was believed that the end of
the world had come. Churches were open
all night long and hundreds Of thousands
spent three nights in the open air, fearing
earthquakes and a general cataclysm.
There are rumors that in some villages
Russian parents murdered their children
to relieve them from an expected worse
fate. There was rather brilliant meteoric
display this (Thursday) morning at Berlin.
The earmarks in this are sufficient
to prove its untrustworthy character.
For instance, if the expected shower
had been predicted to the Russians
three days beforehand, is il not also
reasonable that there was also informa-
tion that there was no danger? Then
those "rumors" about numbering child
dren, etc. This kind OF propitiation in
open churches is rich. Then again,
the shower, if it had occurred at all,
would have occurred in the early
morning, and during the only five hours
of its continuance, there would have
been but little time for such a
"remedy" as the numbering of children
to he put in general practice.
The most surprising thing about this
story is that the Associated Press
editors should have been willing to
send it out, and the next most sur
prising thing is that the newspapers
which are served with the dispatches
should have printed the story without
pointing out its,absurdity.,-. e-r. .,..>

WITHIN THE TOWN.

Fields & Hanson's MINISTRIES were
greeted with a full house Monday
night and the audience was delighted.
The cotton market has been rather
sick for the past few days. The local

The Ladies' Confederate Memorial
association, of Yorkville, has marked a
number of hitherto unmarked graves
of Confederate soldiers, buried in the
Yorkville cemetery, with wooden head
slabs. The undertaking has involved
considerable amount of labor and
expense, and 1t is quite credilable. 70
the spirit and earnestness of the or.
ganization that has carried it. through.
The remarkable dexterity with
which some Of the cotton mill opera
tives work, especially the small child
rem, is interesting. In the Sutro mill
there is one little girl of only 10 or IL
years of age who seems TO handle the
thread with the nimbleness and precis-
ion of a machine. There are . num-
--bvr of prodigies out al the York mill
also-small chaps who work with a
facility which would only seem posi-
BILE at three times their years. But it
is not always that long experience is
required. The reporter is informed
that the York mill has one operative
who began to receive full pay after the
first days work, and is now consider
ed one of the most accomplished ex.
perts in the whole. establishment,
Yorkville now has electric lights.
More correctly speaking, electric lights
are shining in Yorkville. The Sutro
mill plant has just been put in opera
ton, and in addition to some 80 or 80
16.candie power incandescenr lights in
the mill building, and Mr.. T. B. Nc
Claims store, hig 1000 candle power
arc light turns night into day on the
street front in the neighborhood. The
completed plant was put in full opera
tion for the first time on Monday night,
and in every particular it was sue
cess. The night force went on for the
first Time, doubling the daily output Of
the mill, and the understanding is that
from now on the wheels will turn in
cesssntly with intermissions for meals
and Sundays. As he promised some
time ago, in purchasing his dynamo,
Mr.. McClain did it with a view to
lighting the entire town, if the town
should ever get ready for such an i'm
provement. The capacity of his cleo
trio plant is 1900 16candle power in
lights, or $50 1000,
power arc or street lights. For the
purposes of the mill, not more than 10
per cent. of the entire capacity is re-
quired. The balance is for those who
wish to buy, and as has been remark
ed, for the town, as soon as it gets that
far along. The light on the street will
be kept there for a month or two as
practical illustration of its superiority,
and if in the meantime there is no move
10 light up the town generally, Mr..
McClain will probably transfer this one
% point at the rear of the mill where
t will be of more practical service in
lighting up the surroundings for those
