Some have claimed that there is a possibility of it making a wreck of this old earth, but some foil fcovo paid little attention to this kind f talk. As a matter of fact, if w Hid not know about the comet's visit, it is very doubtful whether or not manv of us would ever know anything about it when it arrives. Such visitations, however, are exceedinelv intertin hence we like to know all we nosaiblv cn about such. Prof. Fowler, of London, now comes alonr with statement set set out in a recent Lon don news dispatch, which in part is as follows: Pons-Winnecke, the short -teriod CO. met, which is hurtling throuarh snace at a speed of many thousand miles an hour toward the earth, will not have the best of the "bumo" according Tt m . . . . o rim. a. rowier, chief lecturer in as tronomy at the Imperial Science Col lege, South Kensington. It is generally accented." said the professor, . "that we shall come in contact with its tail, if at all. In thi. event it is possible Pone-Wlnn.v will become so disintegrated that other sen-respecting comets will disown mm." One can picture some scientist in few weeks' time picking up a small meteor, the mortal remains of this cyclonic traveller in our snace "Alas, poor Pons, we knew him wll. will doubtless be the comment of the astronomical world. To Bring Gas. iTofessor Fowler was the first scientist to prove that the tails of comets have carbonic oxide gas in sieau oi tine deadly cyanogen sras. as was previously supposed. When the tail of Pons comes into contact with this earth." rontinnod Professor Fowler, "vast Quantities of carbonic oxide, which is an odorless gas, will be absorbed in the amos- phere of this planet. There is no cause for alarm, since the Dronortion of carbonic oxide is so small in rela tion to the immense volume of atmosphere- around the earth that the effect will be imperceptible. People do not realize how many million tons the atmosphere we breathe weighs. At ground level the weight is four teen pounds to the sauare inch. In addition to gas the tail will contain meteoric dustthat is, particles of! iron and nickel. This dust is not likely to. reach us." STANLY COUNTY FIRST.

Picketing of the mills .has been eoinsr on be cause certain percentages of the oper atives are not members of the textile union, and did not walk out. The mills are said to employ about 200 people, and it is estimated that from 20 to 50 per cent remained in the mill. When the picketing was ordered Thomas Me. Mahon, vice-president of the American Textile Workers, who is here, stated that the picketing would be neactful and within the law, in that moral sua sion, but no physical violence would be used.
