distance began to arrive, among
them Rev. G. Dorsey White of
Staunton, presiding elder of the
district and Rev. Mr.. Miller
who formerly was 10 charge

around until it soon became evil

the audience. Chairs and benches
were brought in until every avail.
able space was occupied and yet
number were outside.

cellent and appropriate sermon
from Luke rs. At Its close be an
nOunced there remained a debt of
$3.50 against the building and it

fore ,deaicating the church. After
sometime in getting subscriptions

For about 20 minutes we have
never experienced such deluge

proportions, terrific thunder, light
ming and hail. The worst of the
storm was about half mile wide.

destroyed gardens, corn nelus anC
scattered wheat shocks. Mr.. Al
Fultz's corn field is nearly ruined
and the tin roof on his house so
damaged he had to have new one
put on. The damage to gardens
is appalling, the wind, hail and
rain having beat the vegetables
into the earth. Bean aud tomato
vines beaten into a pulp. A quan.
tity of timber blown down. Mr..
C. J. Bell thinks there is at least
100 tree destroyed in his timber
land. On one body OF Is acres his
con counted 80 trees either blown
out or broken off. The worst suf-
fererl were Messrs Chas. Luns-

Postal Sayinns Banks.

No feature Of President Taft,s
speeches has aroused more discussion
than his advocacy Of postal savings
banks. From the people there has
been general commentator and from
the bankers opposition. The proposal
is not new, inasmuch as President
Roosevelt favored It and there had
been agitation in its favor before his
time. The fact that President Taft
places such emphasis upon it, howev-
er, has brought 1t into the domain Of
live issues, whereas the previous dis.
cussion had been In a sense academic.
In the consideration Of the question
some points should not be overlooked.
One is the presidents statement that
the postal banks would not injure ex-
listing savings institutions, but would
act as feeders. In European countries.
where postal savings banks are al
ready in existence, this is found to be
actually the case. 1t is only the very
small amounts that are deposited in
the postal concerns. AS soon as the
depositor gets together any consider
able sum he takes 1t to the old line
savings bank, where he can get a
higher rate Of interest. This fur
nishes a powerful incentive to de-
post in the private banks. at least
when there is an amount worth while.

Hancy's Comet.

who seemed to. I've ready to turn any
thing into Il good omen. seized on this
comet as a favorable sign when he
was invading Britain. At a later Pc
Rod the Christians Of Europe regard
ed 1t Ia an evil portent Of the victory
Of the Moslems. and the pope issued a
bull forbidding belief In the comet.
In the latter part Of the seventeenth
century Edmund HALEY. an English
astronomer. identified the comet with
its previous appearances and from
this figured out its elliptical orbit and
predicted its next return. As It was
the first comet with which this had
been done, the discovery marked a
great forward step in astronomical
science. &
The appearances Of. Halley's comet
r in II measure eccentric-that is. the
period Of return varies a few years.
This has been ascribed to the influence
Of Jupiter and the other great planets
in the. outer rim Of the solar system.
The present appearance is a little in
advance Of the expected time. The
last advent of Halley's comet was Ia

The Presidents Tour.

1t Is not correct to say. as IL some.
times done. that Mr. Taft's present
trip is the longest ever made by a
president Of the United stntex.5 II
was exceeded by Roosevelt In lsNss..
The Taft tour is within a few shy,i,-
dred miles Of that Of his predecessor.
however, and with that single excpp-
ton is the long distance presidential
jaunt.
1t is entirely within the truth to a
that Mr.. Taft Is the most Travelled OF
our presidents. Not only so. but there
are few men now living who have ex-
ceeded his mileage. At the close OF
his present journey be will In less
than ten years have exceeded the dis.
lance to the at its nearest up.
proach to the earth. Since he was
made governor general Of the Philip.
pines in 1900 he has covered nearly
$4,000 miles. counting only his long
scheduled journeys and excluding his
shorter jaunts and side trips.
The current our is not chiefly inter-
esting because of the distance en-
braced. however. Infinitely transcend
ing this and all other kindred features
is the fact that the president is using
his journey as an occasion to give ont
his policies. His speeches as a whole
are ven more elaborate and certainly
more in a popular vein than his mes
sages to congress. They may be called
his message to the country. They are
a heart to heart talk With his con
stituents. s2t
