Balscat went on the stand and testi-
fed through an interpreter. He stated
that Williams came to his house the
night of the robbery. knocked at the
door and was admitted. He told Balscat
he wanted to sell him a pistol. Balscat
offered him 10 cents for il, to which
rrice Williams agreed. Balscat got So
from his trunk and gave the negro 10
cents and asked the negro to hand over

Julius Caesar.

of all great conquerors, writes
Marion Crawford in "Studies
From the Chronicles of Rome,"
he was The least cruel, for he never
sacrificed human life without the
direct intention of beneftlng
mankind by an increased social
stability. Of all great lawigvers,
be vas the most wise and just, and
the truths he set down in the
Julian code are the foundation Of
modern Justice. Of all great men
who have leaped upon the world
as upon an unbroken horse, who
have guided it with relentless
hands and ridden it breathless to
the goal of glory, Caesar is the only
one who turned the race into the
track of civilization and, dying,
left mankind future in the
memory of his past. Heis the one
great man of all without whom
iti is impossible to imagine history.
We caunot take him away and yet
leave anything of what we have.
The world could have been as tits
without Alexander, without
Napoleon. It could not have been
the world we know without Caius
Julius Cesar.

AUGUSTA, GEORGIA.

the streak is first formed it is
narrow and perfectly straight,
but it soon becomes serpentine and
assumes an irregular figure as it
drifts along under the influence OF
the wind currents in the upper
region of the atmosphere. The
streaks are of various colors, owing
partly to substances and partly to
their altitude. Some are of q
delicate greenish hue, while others
light up the skies with a ruddy
glow. Streaks of orange, red,
white and blush white commlngle
to form a most remarkable and
beautiful spectacle. Occasionally
an orangecolored meteor may be
observed leaving in it's wake q
streak of green. A popularity of
the November meteors is that the
nucleus shoots ahead of the streak
before vanishing. The individual
mieteors vary greatly in size. Some
of the larger of the motors appear
to be half the size of the moon.
Interspersed with the meteoroids
is an occasional fireball, which, in
bursting, causes shadows to be cast
upon the ground, 80 intense is the
light generated for the moment
There is no reason that in such
instances as this the sound OF
bursting should not reach the ears
of spectators. The streaks left in
the case of freballs of the hrs'
magnitude last in some cases to-
several hours" Pot Newton

The Falling Stars.

"We are unable to predict the
exact hour at which the November
meteoric showers will begin. But
It is estimated that the showers
will reach their maximum
brilliancy at / o'clock a. m., the
morning of November Id.
Althogh these meteorids revolve
around the SUI in a definite orbit,
the point of their intersection with
the ordit of the earth moves for
ward at tie rate OF degree and a
half per year, thus throwing the
advent of the meteors a few hours
later at each succeeding fall. For
example, the fall of 1888 occurred
on the night of November 15; the
fall of 1899 will take place on the
evening of the 14th of November,
and will probably be of some hours
duration. 1t will be visible
throughout the whole of the North
Ameri eau continent and I'D Europe
and Asia.
ORIGIN OF THEIR NAME.
"The November meteors receive
the name of Leonids from the fact
that thep seem to pouras out from
that part of the heavens wherein
is located the constellation of Leo.
When this constellation is at. it's
zenith, it is almost overhead at
Washington. In weight these
meteors vary from few
grains to many pounds. They
strike the earth's atmosphere, and
begin to burn at the height OF
seventy-four miles, and are
generally entirely consumed at 6
height of fifty miles.
"The phenomenon of great
meteoric shower is generally {
perfectly noiseless one. WheI

Remember
CIemson-The Rich and the Poor


Clemson it is said is the poor mans
school,
But the rich man alone can send
And the poor man pays the taxes:
Which makes his back bone bend.
Clemson was founded as the poor mans
college,
!. But. ahl what fraud and cheat
For 1t only enables the rich man
To educate his children cheap.
The poor man is barred by the expense
of board,
For this he can pay but little
To the rloh this Is light load,
But the poor man pays the fiddle.
Put on your glasses and then look
through
And you will see for the poor
Clemson will not do.
SO there are the rich and here are the
poor,
AND their rights look very one sided
But the majority are able to open tne
door,
And have these rights equally di'
vided.
