the earth; that it has a tail some twenty million miles long. and that for the first time-so far as known the earth will pass through the tail earth has passed through the tails of other comets is quite certain, as Professor Hussey points out. It is supposed that the core of a comet is solid. but that the solid matter is infinitely small as compared with the general bulk Meteors, which are chiefly iron, are supposed to have come from exploded comets. All as trOnomers are agreed that comet tails are not solid. but gaseous. so any in jury that might possibly come from Halley's comet would be from the ab- sorption of some of it's gas into the earth's atmosphere.
 Concerning the old theory that comets at perihelion exercise a bane- full influence upon the world, Pro- lessor Deslander, one of the leading astronomers of Frence, was quoted in the cables the other day as saying that the belief ''is not at all absurd" In support of his statement he pro- ceeded to give in the form of a posi- tive statement, as of fact, hypothe- sis which may or may not have some foundation. He said that theories of astronomy and physics admit that the tail of a comet is illuminated only by the catholic rays emanating from the sun. These act upon the infinite ly minute phosphorescent particles which compose the mane of the com cts tail, and. at the same time by charging it with positive electricity. push it away from the direction of the sun. When they penetrate the mane of the comet the catholic rays are transformed into Roentgen rays The tail of a comet. therefore. is a tremendous source of these X-rays whose wonderful power of penetra- ton is well known"
 The X-rays. continues the professor. have the power of causing the con- densation of vapors. The nearer comet is to the earth the more for midable this process of condensation would be. The hypothesis, therefore may be maintained. although its abso- lute truth has not been demonstrated"

The Begging Habit.

A church congregation in St. Louis which numbers among its members several people of considerable wealth. has succeeded in extracting from An drew Carnegie the sum of SLIPS for a church organ. Some eight months ago the church officers began writing letters to MT. Carnegie, asking for this sum. He paid no attention to the requests, and they were repeated. The matter was prosecuted systemat- ically. At first, letters were sent every two weeks; then. every week. and finally daily letters were for warded, begging for the donation. Whether it was in desperation and from conviction that there was no other escape from the nuisance, or whether MT. Carnegie found himself at last overcome with a feeling of benevolence for this particular or ganization. is of course a matter of conjecture. It is said that the mem- bers of the church pride themselves upon the success" achieved.
 But is this church the gainer from this procedure? Are the members able to enjoy the same self respect as be- fore they succeeded in touching the iron millionaire? Begging letters, it is said, make up a large part of the penalty which American men have to p1y for the requirement of riches, and the vast number of such letters is significant of the number of people who are lacking in the manliness or womanliness which we like to think is characteristic of American citizens But it is somewhat new for well-to-do organizations of citizens to engage in the degrading business of begging.

Astronomers and Their Theories

The dispatch from Ann Arbor. pub lis1ed yesterday, quoting Professor J. W. Hussey, the astronomer of the University of Michigan, as asserting that no damage can possibly result to people on the earth when this planet passes through the tail of Hal leys comet, should be reassuring to timid folk. Professor Hussey, like all the other astronomers, has to rely mainly upon guesswork, but his judg- ment is as good as anybodys. So little is known of comets that the wisest astronomers differ in discus
 sing them. It is known that Halley's comet is a million times bigger than

GOING UP!

EVERYTHING IS GOING UP, so it seems. Airships are all the rage now, everything is up in the air, even prices; but if you don't care about AVIATION, call on us and see our stock and compare our prices with others. You can see our stock GOING DOWN. We are selling goods so fast we can hardly get the time to have them delivered. People love to watch AEROPLANES GO UP, BUT they want to see PRICES GO DOWN, and prices on furnishings for the home have taken such a drop that, as one man said.

WHAT ONE NEGRO
FARMER HAS DONE
Shows His People What Hard Work

Sn4tesboro, Ga, December j Mike
Brown, a negro farming on the place
of W. L. Street, near Statesboro, has
demonstrated what a negro can do in
this county. Brown works share
crop, and yesterday brought to town
twenty bales of SEA island cotton from
(which he received as his part $1,000.
This is. more interesting when i. IS
known that the negro raised these
twenty bales of cotton on thirty acres
of land with a 750Ipound mule to
tend it,
This is It's enegro's surplus and he
has banked it, In addition to the
twenty bales of cotton it is said chat
he raised supply of meat am dgrain
sufficient to last .hfm for the season.
While Brown is working as a tenant
many negroes of his calibre have mov-
ed to Bulloch county and began ait the
bottom and by lard work have saved
up enough to buy their farm and to-
day many negroes are farming in Bull
loch county on their own hook. There
has been some talk of the negroes Of
the county holding a fair here.

PLASTERING NEARLY
HIT '+LITTLE JOE
Bedroom in Executive Mansion Had II
Be Abandoned.

ATLANTA, Ca, December 10.-Gog,
ernior Brown and his wife were arous-
ed from sllmber a few nights ago by
IA terrific crash in their bedroom. Jump
ing up to investigate. the governor
found that a huge piece of plastening
had faglen from the ceiling and barely
missed them.
Since then the clustering in the
room is coming away in great flakes
and the bedroom has been abandoned
as it was dangerous to attempt 10
sleep in it. The mansion is said to be
more or less i'm decay and badly in
need of repairs. The building is an
old one and the temporary repairs
made only check the trouble for a
time.
This fact will probably have weight
with the special COMMITTEES appointed
at the last session of the legislature
to investigate the question of dfsposing
of the property and the erection of n
new executive mansion. 1t seems Ger
tain that good deal of money will
have to be spent in putting tn place

WANTS TO ABOLISH TARIFF on

one of those Democrats who believe
that waen tie party puts a plank il

resentative Smiths position is log
ically unassailab,e On the other
point he says:
Lumber is one of the common ne.
cessities of Life, it is in the merciles:

for many years las been advancing
prices to the consumer, and the Dem
ocratic party through it's representa-
tiUes in Congress for more than a
quarter of n century has at every en-
portunity tried to put lumber on the
free list Our forests are being rap
idly destroyed. According to expert
testimony they will be depleted OF

the present rate of consumption.
I'm the ligft of these facts can
not see how any man, especially how
any Democrat who is not an advocate
OF protection, can for a moment hest
tate to repeal the duty on humber"
All of this merely brings to the
front the fact that tie t,riff is going
to worry the Democrats just as much
as the Republicans have been harras-
sed by it in the past With a wisdom
that was not appreciated in his day.
General Hancock, Democratic c4ndi-
date for president, ruined his cllnceA
by declaring that the taric was largely
"a local issue" In a great measure
this Is true. Theoretically we South
ern Democrats are "agin" the tariff.
but practically we want tariff on
lumber, naval stores, cotton, tropical
fruits, cotton goods of the coarsel
qualitles-in fact, we are more or less
selfish and anxious to keep away all
competition with our own products.
But, regtardless of the party plank.
1t would work an injustice and hard
ship to the lumber interests generally
to wipe out the duty on lumber with
out giving them cheaper supplies used

MAKING BRIGHT
THE XMAS MONTH
Plan the Month Right Through
10 the End
CBy Barbara Boyd9


The merry, mlschevous Christmas
smile is here on the faces of family
and frJaads. Shoppers are good natur-
eil-as yet It's early in the game
Tie genuine Christmas spirit is
abroad, and the edge has not yet been
taken off it.
Will this kindly, jolly spirit that al
present gilds the days with gold last
until the great day itself is numbered
with tie past? 1t really depends upon
ourselves and the use We make Of our
time in this beautiful Christmas
month.
This montl brings extra burdens 10
almost every one. The thing to do is
to plan to meet these burdens so that
they can be carried easily It takes
careful planning to do it, there is no
escaping this fact. The woman who
does not plan, but who trusts to h4
usual facility to get things through
will find herself oyerpowered by he,
Christmas burdens and everything IN
confusion. 1t is not just pure mis-
Chance, that this happens. If she just
had to depend upon herself and the
usual orderly routine of things, she
probably would pull out all right
without planning, as she ordinarily
does. But tie whole mechanism OF
business and daily life is just now
bearing an unusual strain. Cogs will
slip, breaks viii occur, and these arc
what get the woman vino DOESN'T plan
into trouble. The unexpected hap
pens-through no fault of her own
and she suffers.
To make this bright, Happy month
therefore, to have the finish fulfill the
promise of the beginning, plan the
Christmas duties and start to work OH
them early. You can go along then IN
an orderly, leisurely fashion. The
Christmas smile will not come off, or
wear thin. There'a be NO nervous
rush and frantic scramble toward tie
end. The Christmas spirit won't fee
your heart and you wish Christmas had
never been invented. The whole month
Will DE happy, joyful leading up 70

OF the continued division in the cp9o-
sition ranks.
Interests now centres IN the judicial
and quasi-judicial appointments.
which the President IS expected to an
nounee within TIE next few days. The
statement was made at the White
House that the appointments probably
would be sent in today. The presi-
dent usually waits until the very
last minute before sending them in.
Since he finishes his message he has
confered with representative Of
all elements in his own party, as well
as Democrats, and the more he has
conferred the greater has become his
embarrassment. He found TIE Demo-
Gratis insistent upon the selection of at
least one Democrat for the Supreme
Bench. He conceded this. and then
the Insurgent Republicans. whom he
invited to the White House. demanded
that at least one of his justices should
be a progressive Republican in thor
ough sympathy with InsuT3ent ide,s.
Mr.. Taft himself has not been in
sympathy with either the Insurgents
or their ideas. If left to himself he
would probably appoint justices whose
habits Of mind and point of view are
much as his own. What he will do in
the end is uncertain, and as late as
Saturday was stated that the Presi-
dent had not finally made up his mind.
Whichever way he acts the appoint
ments are likely to provoke opposition
in the Senate. They will be more
closely scrutinized than amy other ju-
dicial appointments in years. Here
are the principal vacancies he is
