The proposition to lay cement
sidewalks on all side streets in
Hendersonville should be sup
ported by every progressive
citizen of the city. Nothing
has ever benefited the,town more
than the Main Street improve
ments and with similar walks on
the side streets you could just
see Hendersonville grow sure
enough. Then we would become
a real winter, as well as a sum-
mer, resort.

To Pave Side Streets

A petition is now being circu-
lated and generally signed ask
ing the town commissioners to
lay four foot cement walks on all
side streets in town.
1t is proposed to give property
owners ten years in which to pay
for the improvement.
Fifty feet Of concrete walk will
cost but S29. 90, and this is pay
able at the rate of $3.50 per year.

Anderson, Of Savannah, speak
ing to the question of personal
privilege in the House of Repre-

G. Broughton as a willful, ma
licious, reckless, malignant and
vicious liar and his statements
were endorsed by Rev. J. A.
Slade, a Baptist minister from
MuskOgee county. Mr.. Brough-
ton stated in a sermen that An
derson's fight on the near-beer
bill is prompted by personal in

this saying he bought the stock

chase is immaterial and that An

up with the liquor interests.

- HE true nature of magnetism,
as such, of course, is not
known. All that we can be
sure of is that magnetic attraction
does not radiate outward in all di
rections as does light but simply acts
along lines consisting of closed
curves and called lines Of force, these
lines connecting the two roles and
rot extending very far outward be-
tween them. These curves may be
found very nicely by placing horse
rnoe magnet under a thin sheet Of
Japer, and sprinkling iron filings on
tn. The filings will collect along
the lines.
Now. as to the different kinds OF
magnets there are natural, artih-
cial and electromagnetic the natural
ones are found as magnetic ore IN
the earth. the artificial ones are made

M our sun as being the LARGEST
body in the heavens, the grand
high lord of all the little planets and
the twinkling stars. Such is very FAR
from being the case. Practically all of
the fixed and twinkling stars are as
large as, and some even larger than,
our own sun. They appear small
only because of their great distance,
for they are just as truly suns with
families of planets flying around
them as is our central orb.
There is one of these stars in par
ticular. that has attracted the atten-
ton of astronomers, not only on &C
count of its great size. but also its
enormous distance from our solar
system. This is the star Arcturus.
To have some conception OF the al
most inconceivable distance that
separates it from us, the astronomi-
cal standard of measuring distance
must be comprehended. Now. light
does not come from luminous body
instantaneously to our eyes-it takes
time TO come, because II Is a wave

light as most recently determined Is
about one hundred and eighty-siN
thousand miles a second. Multiply
this by the number of seconds in
year. and we have a distance known
in astronomy as a light year There
fore. when a star is say six trillion
miles away, we soy it is one light
year off. which means that the light
from the star takes one ye9r to reach

ten thousand times larger in sur
