A Famous English Clock

Wells cathedral contains one of the
most interesting clocks in the whole
world 1t was constructed by Peter
Lightfoot, a monk, In 1920 and en-
braces many devices which testify to
the ancient horologist's ingenuity.
Several celestial and terrestrial bodies
are incorporated in the interesting
movement and relationship. They in
dicate the hours of the day, the age
of the moon and the position of the
planets and the tides. When the clock
strikes the hour two companies of
horsemen fully armed dash out of
gateways in opposite directions and
charge vigorously. They strike with
their lances as they pass as many
times as correspond with the number
of the hour. \ little distance away,
seated on 4 high perch, is n quaint
figure, which kicks the quarters on
two bells placed beneath his feet and
strikes the hours on a bell. The dial
of the clock Is divided into twenty
four hours and shows the phases of
the moon and map of the universe

COkER COTTON.
In View Of Many Inquiries, Mr.. Dun,
can Secures Information From
Mr.. Ira w. Williams.

Since the publication Of Mr.. Smyth's
letter about long staple cotton, l have
been asked the length Of the Cokar,
or Hartsville cotton, mat was planted
by so many demonstrators this year,
that I decided it best to write Mr.. Ira
W. Williams, and this is his reply:
"our letter of September 10 re-
ceived. In regard to the HartsVlIle
cotton it is better to give is staple,
though planted in Pickens and Green
vile counties last year it gave l IA
staple and some of it sold as high as
"a cents per pound"
To get best prices, staple cotton
should be picked clear of trash, and
ginned very slow and with a very
loose roll.
Be careful not to get any short sta
ple mixed with it or any tinged long
staple.

minder to the 1SrSellte that a new
period of time is begun. It is a. day
of memorial, when Israel feels him
self held by God in remembrance.
The Biblical basis for the observ-
ance of the first day of Tishri as a
New Years day and the most solemn
day of the Jewish calendar next to
Yom kippur, or the Day Of Atonement,
is found in the reference to Zikkaron
("memorial day. in Leviticus xiii,
"A, which reads; <-i"~'~
"In the seventh month, in the first
day of the month, shall ye have a
Sabbath, a memorieg of blowing OF
trumpets, a holy convocatlon."
Ezra also refers to the day as one
"holy to the Lord" (Nehemiah VII,
81
Not a. mere day of rejoicing, like
the secular New Year, is this Rosh
Hashanah. It is day of memorial
or a day of remembrance, reminding
the Jew of the duty of the self-exam-
ination and self-judgment. To arouse
the conscience to this solemn task the
ceremony of sounding the shofar OF
rams horn, forms an important tea'
ture of the service. Among the ortho-
dox Jews attainment of this object
is also sought by setting aside fe"
days before the New Years day fol
the recital, in the synagogue, of penl'
tential prayers called Selihot. This
continues until the evening (chantec

After the solemn services on th'
evening of Friday and the morning O

heard on all sides, signifying: "A goot

lin the Book OF Life) for good year.
In latter years a custom has appeare'
of sending to friends New Year
greeting cards of various designs, col
ors and inscriptions. When the ear
nest devotions of the day are done, tn
festival is made an occasion of socia
and domestic rejoicing.
