The Comet Going West.

Garrett z. Serviss, the well-known
writer on astronomy, says, regarding the
new comet: "Borelli's comet will be very
conspicu ons to the naked eye by Friday
night. AT o o'clock tonight the comet
is near the star Alpha, in Draco, half
way between the bowl of the Little Dip.
per and the handle of the Great Dipper.
The handle of the Little Dipper runs
downward and ends at the North Pole
Star. The Great Dipper is the large con-
stellation in the Northwest, with the
bowl downward and the handle above.
''By Friday night tho comet will be
plainly discernible, for it is travelling
rapidly and growing larger and brighter
1t is at present as conspicuous to the
naked eye as tho brightest star in the
dippers, but not 80 sharp and distinct
''It may be identified by its hazy look.
An opera glass will show it as faint
streak two or three degrees long, stretch
ing toward the southeast. A large field
glass will show more of it.
CATER the tail has once been found
with glass, it will be easy enough for
the observer to pick out the comet with
the unassisted eye.
"There are some even among the un
skilled who see the comet at once with
out the aid of glass. But with the
glass 1t can be seen like starry point in
the midst of a nebulous head. The lat
ter is broader than the tail, which mar
rows almost to point before disappear
ing.
"The whole comet is shaped like a
carrot, with tho head at the large end. !"

reported that it would do so. The
reason of this 10 that the l.. &c IN. will

survey meets the Little Tennessee river.
From this point it is 20 miles to the

Georgia. From Bushnell it is 10 miles TO
the Tallulah branch of the Southern.
When the road has been completed the
grade will be the lowest of any in the
South, and especially of any that crosses
the Blue Ridge. 1t will be one-half Of
one per cent, as far as Rabun Gap, and
then the grade is eight,tenths of one per
cent. In other words, the grade to
Rabun Gap will only be twenty-six feet
to the mile. The Southern has long felt
the necessity of this road. To ship coal
via Asheville for Atlanta means a heavy
grade and large traffic expenditure.

Orr'S Regiment Reunion.

The annual reunion of the survivors of
Orr's regiment will be held in the court
house in Anderson on Friday, August
7th, beginning at eleven o'clock a. M.
This will be the last day Of the Gala
Week festivities.
1t had been intended to hold the re-
union this year at Clemson College.
while the State Farmers Institute was in
progress, and twas thought that definite
arrangements to that effect had been
made. Col. r. w. Simpson, chairman of
the board of trustees, objected, however,
saying that it would not be possible to
hold any other meeting at Clemson at
that time except meetings directly con-
nected with the Farmers Institute, so
the reunion was called off.
At a meeting of the board of directors
of the Anderson Chamber Of Commerce
yesterday conference was held with
w. T. Magill, chairman of the committee
to arrange for the time and place of
hOl ding tho reunion, and an invitation
was extended to have the reunion held
here on Friday, August 7th. Mr.. Magill
stated that he was satisfied the invitation
would be accepted.
1t was explained to Mr.. Magill and it
will be readily understood by all the
other veterans, that the city of Ander-
son would feel honored by the presence
of the survivors of Orr's regiment, and
the survivors of any other command, at
any time. Their coming ut this time,
however, after all arrangements for the
Gala Week have been made, will find
the city crowded with other visitors, and
the veterans we're asked to feel that they
would not be asked to take a second
place in the picture, although under the
circumstances they could not be shown
as many courtesies and attentions in the
way of entertainment that the people of
the city would like to give them.
A committee was appointed to co-ope-
rate with Mr.. Magill in arranging for the
reunion, and the veterans who come will
be given pleasant time. col. j. Q.

Bitten by a Mad Puppy.

Oin, the 13-year- old son of John W.
Simpson. of Pendletop, was bitten by a
shepherd puppy, a pct in the yard, few
days ago. The boy was at once carried
to Atlanta, and the puppy was carried
along, too, in order that an examination
might be made for the purpose of ascer-
tanning if it was suffering from rabies.
The report of the physician at the hos
pital was to the effect that the puppy
was undoubtedly suffering from genuine
hydrophobia. The boy was given the
usual treatment in such cases, and at
last accounts was reported getting along
nicely. The puppy, which has been
killed, was bitten some time ago by a
stray dog which passed that way, but
nothing was thought of it at the time or
it would have been killed.
