Recollections of Halleys Comet of
1835
How many or how few people re
member seeing Halleys comet whose
last appearance was seventy five
years ago lacking some four or five
months as it appearance In 1835
was in the fall either September or
October My recollection of that
comet is very clear and can recall
its brilliancy as it lighted up the
heavens It was visible in the even
ing in the southwest I must iuve
been nine years of age vi 1 as
born in 1C2G at R ru Ne Yo c
Probabl v it icpr ed this i jnt

L ct thrt at ks vcv time Elder
I LI lv to oiginal Adventist was
uoiuiug a series of meetings in the
Baptist church in Rome preaching
that the world would come to an end
by fire in the very near future It
is doubtful whether Elder Millers
preaching or Halleys comet had the
greater influence in scaring the peo
ple of that community into repent
ance However between the two
there was a great revival
These new converts were styled
Millerites but some ungodly persons
called them Cometites
Another incident that impresses
my memory of that occasion was that
our family at that time were enter
taining some relatives from the west
ern part of the state who had a very
disagreeable crying baby about two
years old and its mother went to
gether with all the women of the
house every evening to hear Elder
We were wishing while walking the
house and yard with that kid that

One Mqn Who Discovered That War
Vas Not Wholly Bad
Lem Jnckson loved to loaf He lived
In the mountains not far from Green
ville Tcnn with his wife and a large
brood of children Lem had a honn
Qawg that he set great store by and
lie spent most of his time lounging in
i runway waiting to shoot a deer driv
en in by old Bose or sprawling on the
bank of a stream fishing In that way
1 was a good provider after a fash
I but not all the urrliir scnhliir
i -ring and brooiiisiieking f his
wish wife could drive him to vtU
Lem led the lazy life of a Wip 11
Winkle until the outbreak of the civil
war and then he joined the Confed
erate army At the end of six months
Lem was shot through the right thigh
and it was long before he was able to
limp out of the hospital and back to
his regiment In the second year he
was shot in the left shoulder and when
he returned to duty his left hand was
bent far back by a shortened tendon
but ho was still able to raise his ritle
Early in the fourth year they got him
again a musket ball through the body
but he was back in the ranks long
before the fighting was ended Every
one wondered at Lems persistence in
sticking to the terrible trade of war
Dr Girdner met Lem hobbling down
the street in Greenville one morning
in June 1S53 still pale and weak from
his latest wound his right leg short
and wabbly his left hand stiffly beat
back
Glad to see you alive Lem said
the doctor I suppose youre glad to
be home again
Waal Lem admitted without en-
Millers burning words leaving the thusiasm I spose I had to git erlong
Giral Lee he surriudered

down to Appomattox an we all had
to care for until eleven or twelve

Nothing has set America so high in
the estimation of foreign nations says
Ellis Parker Butler in Success
1 00 ziue as the adoption of baseball as the
national sport If a foreign spy wan
ders into America seeking to fathom
our real inwardness and sees a game
of baseball any feeling of contempt
for our newness gives way instantly
to awestruck admiration- At his first
glance baseball is to him a mystery
and it remains a mystery to him He
sees 30000 men and women suffering
2500 00 the tortures of the lower regions on
hot grand stands He sees a niau pick
up a small white ball as hard as a pine
knot Facing him is another man who
holds a smooth but deadly club in his
hands Behind this second man is a
third man whose face is hidden behind
a birdcage Suddenly the man with
the ball raises one foot in the air and
shows the man with the bat the sole
of his shoe The man at the bat sees
j that there are spikes in the sole of the
1 shoe and it angers him and he raises
his bat to throw it at the man with the
ball But ah ha the mau with the
ball is too quick for him He throws
the hard white ball at the man with
the bat with all his strength The
man with the bat waves defiance up
swinging the bat in the air The ball
proceeds The batsman never flinches
Will the ball kill the man or will the
impact crush the ball But see The
ball finds man unflinching the ball is
panic stricken the ball dodges around
the man the ball is lost buried in the
huge leather chair cushion that covers
the hand of the birdcage man behind
the batsman Strike one says the
umpire Thirty thousand cheers

CLEARING SHIP FOR ACTION
A Lively Time While the Decks Are
Being Stripped of Everything That
Would Impede the Fir- of the Guns
Working the Torpedo I jts
Il is a Utile afti r I v- hells in the
forenoon watch r in hore going talk
I a in and the officers and men of
the battleship wear an expectant air
The ships company is fallen in at sta
tions for general exercise The com
mander surrounded by his staff a
midshipman a bugler and the chief
boatswains mate is standing on top
of the after barbette A kind of tense
hush Is over all hands and Indeed
over the rest of the squadron at anchor
in the bay It is a general drill morn
ing and the ships of the squadron are
about to compete against each other
at various evolutions
On the after bridge the glasses of the
signal boatswain and Ids yeomen are
glued on the flagship Presently a
couple of gayly colored flags are hoist
ed at her main Hardly have they left
the rail when the signal boatswain
spins round Signals place net de
fense sir he cries Out nets
bawls the commander Out nets
shout the boatswains mates Instant
ly hordes of men dash at the neat roll
of wire nets lying on the shelf round
the ship and push it overboard One
edge being held in place it unrolls as
it falls making a veil on the side
Clear the net shelf The men van
ish Man the purchase Somewhere
above a bugle blares out a G
The marines handling large bearing
out spars shove the upper ends of the
booms ftrom which the nets hang out
board They revolve slowly about their
lower ends which are near the water
line and hauled by the steam capstan
on one side and the seamen on the
purchase on the other extend them
selves at right angles to the hull
Break bellows the commander and
a signalman jerks the halyards A
red white and blue pendant hitherto
waiting in a bail at the topsail yard
arm breaks from its conflnement and
floats out on the breeze announcing
to all and sundry that the ship has
finished the evolution and is now pro
tected from torpedo attack by her
crinoline of nets First ship sir re
ports the signal boatswain and the
men once more at their general sta
tions grin contentedly and make con
temptuous comments on the struggles
of the remainder of the fleet There
is a short pause till these are ended
then another hoist rises from the flag
ships bridge In nets is the order
and the ships company is once more
galvanized into action Amid a scene
of orderly confusion the huge booms
return to position shut back against
the ships side the brails which pass
beneath the nets every few yards are
manned all hands haul with a will
the mass of steel meshes is rolled up
and secured on its shelf ami the bright
pendant at the topsail yardarm is
again brokeu bj the signalman
A short Stand easy follows soon
ended by another signal Clear for
action To the mind of the bewilder
ed spectator pandemonium follows
But it is only in appearance Each
man knows what he has to do and
does it Under the onslaught of the
seamen davits stanchions rails stove
pipesin fact all tilings that can pos
sibly restrict the fire of the guns dis
appear with a rapidity that gives the
impression of their being mowed down
skylights are masked by steel hatches
boats are turned in and secured and
in two or three minutes the decks are
stripped bare and the men again fall
en in awaiting the order to replace
gear This done a longer job but
still accomplished with celerity the
last and most exciting signal of the
forenoon -appears Away all boats
crews pull round the fleet
The men tumble into their boats at
the davits the lowerers pay out the
falls and in a few moments the cut
ters whalers gigs and galleys are
pulling for dear life a midshipman in
charge of each On the after bridge
the commander waving two small
hand flags which control the huge
steam derrick is lifting the pinnace
and launch from the boat deck and
depositing them in the water Men
drop into them double and treble
banking the long oars and soon these
are pounding after the lighter boats
The evolution is a race ship against
ship Who will have the first boat
back Who will have all boats back
and hoisted first Midshipmen prob
ably with bets on the matter are urg
ing their crews on Every man is
putting his back into it for the honor
of his ship Telescopes watch prog
ress from all the vessels of the fleet
Here comes the galley the captains
boat manned by a picked crew and
dancing through the water under the
long sweeping strokes of the oars
first boat back Again the tricolor
ed pendant flies out and the captains
doggie midshipman climbs out of
the galleys stern sheets beaming all
over his boyish countenance
The boats are hoisted as they return
the men left on board manning the
falls and running away with them to
the sound of the ships band playing
on the shelter deck Presently all is
square again The boatswains mates
pipe Hands carry on smoking The
forenoons drills are over and officers
and men alike are in good humor
proud of the final signal received from
the all powerful flagship
Evolution smartly performed
