"The mystical idea jf the Pha

virtue of which we arc children of
the .sun.”
Sun Has Two families.
Dr Willis, retiring president of
the Geological Society of America,
expanded the scheme of human
origin by saying that we were rath
er grandchildren than children of
the sun. The direct children of the
sun, he said, were the planets and
the comets, and we the offspring
of the former.
According to his outline, the sun
is a parent with two families, wives
unmanned. The children of one are
"highly Individualistic, erratic, and
unaccountable.”
These are the cornels, and "each
ope pursues his own path, going off
into the outermost spaces, returning
i after a long interval for a brief visit
only, and disappearing again on his
own course.” These nomads and
vagabonds of space are the prodi
gal sons *f the sun.
But the children of the other
family "are the planets, the stay
homes. They constitute the family
circle, as it were. Each has Us
place, or orbit, each keeps its place
In the plane of planetary exist
ence. and each rotates persistently
on its individual axis."
"Furthermore.” said Dr. Willis,
“our earth is one of these self
centered little personalities of the
planetary family.'*
Story Told By Earthquake.
Discussing the origin of the conti
nents upon w hich we dwell, the geo
logist described human beings, these
grandchildren of the sun, as
scratching out their existence upon
the blistered skin of "this sclf
centered little personality." He told
how it was now possible to sound
deeper into the earth than the
bottom of the deepest sea. Esrth
quakes which vibrate through and
arounu the globe produce curious
writings upon the seismograph,
which can be translated into de
scription of the kinds of rock and
metal through which the vibrations
have passed.
••In fact,’ lif said, "with the aid
of earthquakes which radiate waves
through the globe, we can sink out
plummet more than hnlf way to
the centre."
With this kind of plummet scien
tists have found that there nre two
chief parts of the earth which we
Inhabit; first, an envelope of rock
3.000 miles thick, and inside this
a core of very heavy material, prob
ably largely iron, which may be
molten, it ts so hot.
Dr. Willis said that the earth's
crust In all likelihood was n<H
"dead" and finished In shape. The
theory Is that miles down in the
rocky skin of the earth great blist
ers form, as big as whole states
and provinces, and these blisters
swell up and help to uprear vol
canoes and those great pleateaus of
rock and soil which we call con
tinents.
Energy la Transformed.
The heat that caused blisters, he
said, probably did not come from
that hot metallc core of the earth
“A source of Internal heat has
long been recognised in the com
pression of the interior by gravity,
the force of which Is thus converted
into heat energy. The extremely
high temperature of the earth's
core may be attributed to this kind
of transformation of energy, Oth
er possible sources of heat exist, no
doubt, tn molecular energy and
radio-activity, but they may be to
a large extent stabilised. The self
compression of the sarth Is capable
of producing all the heat which wo
have in evidence.”

Its name, from, “this is the Kings

encounters for a long distance
when he makes hi trips from
Spartanburg to Greensboro.
Oo down the York road out of
town of Kings Mountain, and you
can see the right ol way that has
been cut through the forest and
shrubbery almost to the very pin

placed and the workmen are now
waiting lor the special apparatus,
that will hoist the huge tower:

where there is already a concrete ;
slab that was put there to support
the flag. Of course this same slab i
will not be used for a base, but]

TO MAKINO THE YEAR 1929
^ e have two pieces of property that we are
ready to-absolutely risk our judgment as forecast
ers when we say that the purchasers of either tract
will before the year 1929 gets by, be offered a VERY
SUBSTANTIAL PROFIT.
The FIRST is in the nature of an uptown busi
ness lot. It is located on South Washington Street,
directly in front of the Arey Block, and only 50 feet
south of the alley from the Royster Building. This
lot is 50x90 feet, joins property of A. P. Weathers
on south and J. F. Harris and John Black on north.
It is only a short city block from the square, and is
the ONLY CLOSE IN VACANT PROPERTY suit
able for retail trade now on the market.
PRICE $9,000.00.
The Second Tract, that is a real Bargain, is in
the nature of a farm. The location is three and one
half miles East of Shelby, fronting the vest side of
the Post Road about 1100 feet. The land is fertile,
lies practically level, no rocks and absolutely no
waste land. There is a good 5 room dwelling, sealed
and painted. The house has been built about five
years. The outbuildings made up of a good barn,
crib, garage, cotton house, sheds, etc., are in good
condition and are only five years old and all painted.
There are 54 acres in the tract and every acre can
be cultivated. Charlie Wright joins land on the
south, Julius Mull on the north and G. C. Pruitt on
the east, and each man is good farmer and neighbor.
WE SAY that this farm, which is known as -the
best part of the Max Gardner “More-Per-Acre” Farm
is the best bargain in the way of farm land offered
FOR SALE in Cleveland County during the past
TEN YEARS. It can be made to absolutely pay for
itself in FIVE years farming.
The price per acre is $165.00, on terms of $1,
000.00 cash, balance on terms easier than paying
rent We can give immediate possession.
THE ABOVE TWO PROPERTIES are our
BEST BARGAINS, either purchase will make you
money and a good profit the first year.
