BILL ARP'S LETTER.
Arp Has to Han1 Help in Answering
Ills Lettern.
A I lan (a Constitution.
lt is a hopeful sign that so many ot
tho young girls and boys have a thirst
for knowledge. Tho youth's depart
ment in tho newspapers and magazines
is growing into importance and their
letters to tho editors betoken studious,
inquiring minds. Thc art of letter
writing is itself not only an accomplish
ment, but a good part of a polished
education. Letters indicate character
and good letters require thought. The
letters of notablo men and women are
tho best part of their biographies. They
ure an index to the heart, the emotions,
the disposition. Time was when but
few could write at all, and the opening
of mail in a country town was a small
altair. I know from experience, for
when 1 was in my teens my father was
the postmaster and I had the work to
do. There are now at least ten letters
per capita to where there was one in
those days. One great drawback on
lette? writing then then was the cost
of postage. A letter to a plaee within
tho State was 124 cents and thc postage
had to be paid by the person receiving
it, und if it was a poor letter he felt
like he was cheated. Many a letter
was handed back to nie with such a re
mark as "Well, 1 reckon it's from Dick
Jones, over in Arkansaw, and I hain't
got the quarter. Just, put it back outil
f come ag'in.''
lt keeps me busy now-a-days to an
swer all tho letters I receive. My wife
aud daughters help to keep up thc cor
respondence with tho far-away boys
and thc other kindred, but good friends
who write kind letters to me must be
answered in person. Such letters are
a pleasuro and a comfort.
Then, there are many letters asking
for charity or a little help for a church
that only reminds me how poor I am.
Hut these letters from inquiring minds
who are in pursuit of knowledge and
perplexed about thc mysteries of nature
always interest me. and I have to pre
tend to be a wise man whether 1 am or
not.
Now, here is one from a pretty school
i girl in her teens. I know that she is
pretty, because she writes a pretty let
ter and there is not a blot nor an
erasure or an misspelled word. S lu?
wants to know where the ?lay begins
and why, aud where thc navigators
lirst lind a change. Of course that is
worth knowing, and I suppose that
very few outside of tho colleges and
thc continental travelers and the sea
faring men understand it.
Well, my dear girl, the day begins
just where man begun-in tho garden
of Eden. If tho Creator had chosen
; New York or Charleston for that gar
den, the ??ty v??i?i?. have begun over
! here on this continent and extended
westward to California, as thc people
i multiplied and carried it there. Of
course the day kept its name and its
dato around, and east of Palestine ns
far as tho sea. but "westward the tide
of empire takes its way,v and so did
tho tide of time. Columbus brought
the day with him to this continent.
From our eastern coast tho people took
it to California, and from there thc;
missionaries,took it to the Sandwich
islands, and it continued to follow the
sun until the navigators got around to
Bombay and Hong Kong and Cairo and
found they had lost a day and it was
Monday instead of Sunday. And those j
who sailed eastward and traveled i
against thc sun found they had gained J
a day and it was Saturday instead of
Sunday.
But it is not so now, for there is an |
international iine in midocean-u mon- j
dean that has becu established by the j
great powers and accepted by the nav
igators' of all nations as the change of j
dato line. This line is 180 degrees west
of Greenwich and runs from New Zea- j
land north to behring straus and goes
not far from Samoa. It is just half
way around the world from ?condon
midis called the Antipode of Green
wich. lt is 1.5300 miles west ol' Hawaii
and :t,000 west of San Francisco. This
lino is check-marked on tho up-to-date
maps and Sunday is printed on the
west sido and Monday on the east.
Navigators tell by their log books and
compass when thoy havo reached it.
and tho captain or thc mato announces
with groat ceremony: "Set the day
clock oack twenty-four hours. We !
havo crossed the linc." !
For many years our American rail
ways, us thoy pressed their way from
tho Atlantic to the Pacific, found the
question of time very confusing, and
hence by consent of action they estab
lished four divisions of ral way time
and marked longitudinal lines 1,000
miles npart to indicate them. When
tho train crosses one of these lines the <
?iasscngers set their watches back or
orward just ono hour, for the sun
moves or seems to move just 1.000
miles an hour. These moudean lines
divide, time into eastern, central, moun
tain and Pacific, and they pass through
Now York city, St. Louis, Denver and
Carson City, and therefore when it is
12 o'clock in New York city it is only 0
o'clock in California. The railroad
companies, however, could not cut thc-iv j
lines in two to suit these mondeans and I
heneo their railroad timo is a zig-zag
crooked line to fit their terminal points,
but it approximates tho mondean.
This is not all that could bo written
about time and where tho day begins,
but it is enough to satisfy tho school
girls aud boys, and especially the pret -
ty girl who writes mo from Mcliac. In
those days of telegraph and ocean
cables it seems xcry funny to us votc
rans that when a message is sent from
London it gets hero two or three hours
before it starts, and * ? wo send n tele
gram to San Francisco to-day at noon
it gets there at 0 o'clock this morning.
The battle of Manila was fought on
Sunday morning, but the nows of it
carno on Saturday night before. How
is thatt
Edgu. Poo wrote a pretty little story
caliea "Throe Sundays in a Week," in
which he told about a young man who
was adopted and reared by a rich old
bachelor uncle who had been a sea cap
tain, and low the old sailor was to leave
kia nephew - a largo fortune if he be
huved to suit him. Thc ohl man was
awfully uneasy tor fear he would do
something to displease him. At last
lie fell in love, ol' course, with a very
Iiuorbut pretty fjh? uamed Kate. They
icpt their love a Beeret and lived on it
for about a year, ami thought the old
captain didn't know it. but he did. .So
they determined to get married even
tho'it should make thc oldman mad
i and he should turn them out of doors
I and not leave them anything when he
I died. So on Sunday morning Jack
took Kate by the hnnd and boldly
! they went into the old man's presence
? and told him all about it, anti that they
! had come for his consent and for him to
Ifix tho day when they should bc mar
ried. The old fellow was really glad
of it, for he liked the girl, but he
couldn't help being contrary and so he
blustered around and pretended to be
very mad, and finally wound up by say
I ing: "Yes, yes, #ou may get married,
! and I'll say when-yes, when. Well.
I you may get married when there art;
! threo Sundays ina week. Yes, then
? and not before."
I This was awful and the sad young
: couple were about to leave when thur?!
' was a knock at the door. When it was
! opened two sailors, sea captains, too.
! carno rushing in ami seized the old
man's hands and hugged him. ami all
: three got jolly, for they were old ?rhums
! and had not seen each other for a year,
i Tlic old uncle introduced them to the
< young man and Kate, and said some
thing nico about them. He soon
' brought out som?' tine tdd Math* ria
i and made everv body take a think.
, Alter while Captain Pratt saith "Well,
j now 1 remember that tim last, time we
; were together wo hail a royal gamo of
j cartis. Slippos?* we have another game
as a reminder.';
"Oh, nt)," said thc ol? 1 uncle. "Good
; friends, you forget that this is Sunday,
and true Englishmen never play cartis
? ou Sunday." "Sunday, indeed,*' ex
i claimed Captain Pratt, "lt is Monday.
I Yesterday was Sunday, and 1 had
I prayers on board my ship as I always
do." Captain Smithson by this time
was excited ami exclaimed: "Why
you both aro crazy. To-day is Sat urday
and to-morrow will ho Sunday. Didn't
I make my sailors scrub ship this morn

Thou the tdd uncle laughed anti

"Sunday-Sunday!*1 he exclaimed.

To Shut Down Southern Mill?.
pjiii.ADisi.ru IA, Sept. -About
twenty-fire representatives of the
Southern Spinners' Association from
N'orih and South Carolina are now
iu this city. Thc delegation Ls headed
by President J. II. McAden anti Sec
retary G. li. Hiss, pf Charlotte, N. C.
Thc visitors came to set? the National
Export Association. They will while
herc, it is said, discuss questions which
may result in temporarily shutting
down a large number of mills in thc
South. This is on account of thc an
ticipated increase of cost ol' cotton.
The present price of material such as
the mills in the Association use is G!
cents jier pound. It is expected that
tu sixty days thc price will he raised to
7 J cents. The question whether or not
it would bc advisable, to take orders at
tho present prices or refuse them is
accordingly the principal subject of
? discussion wit h the committeemen herc
and among the members pf the Asso
; chillon themselves.
.Secretary Hiss said to-night that the
present prices are entirely too low, anti
unless ah advance is made if will be im
possible to fill orders at the anticipated
raise in the price of the. raw material.
As a matter of fact, bethought it would
he better to shut down than run the
mills at a loss.
Should there bc a gent rai shut-down
it might alicet one hundred and fifty
mills in the South.
Five Sisters for Wives.
William Meictrr, of Kaccoon Creek,
W. Va., has married live sisters. Not
all at once, of course, hut when one
wifedied Mr. Mercer married bereister.
In a word, Mr. Mercer fell in love with
thc clan of Moffat, and the Moffats
agreed that they must keep Mr. Mercer
in the family.
Miss Anna Moffat, whom he married
t>u Tuesday last, is years old. In
pursuance of the plan to keep Mercer
in the family Miss Anna rejected a
young man tit Kaccoon Creek.
"Each one of thc Moffat girls has
made rac a better wife than her sister,"'
says Mr. Mercer. "I can't say more
for any of them than that. 1 really
think 1 am fonder of Anna than 1 was
of Jennie, Ada, Catherine or Mis
.sonri."
Mr. Mercer, whose age is ?u, married
Miss Jennie Moffat when lie was 111 years
old. Tho girls' parents have never of
fered objection to their marriage with
Mercer, although Mrs. Moffat w as late
ly heard to complain: "It docs seem
strnngo to have had four girls married
and only one son-in-law."
Each ot Mercer's wives has blessed
him with two children, all of whom
are really first cousins. They can call
their now stepmother "auntie," if they
will. .Miss Auna Moffat is robust, but
it must gratify Mr. Mercer to know
thero is yet one Molfat girl left, who is
30 years old and noted for her patient
disposition.-Ph ila (Mph ia JRecord.

. Attorney General Hclliuger is pre
. paring to bring suit against the bonds
: men of Col. W. A. Neal, owing to the
I failure of Col. Neal to make any other
j settlement of the amount the commit
tee linds him owing the State, lt hap
pens that all turee of the bondsmen
? aro Columbians aud ure men who stand
I high in the community, financially as
! well ns otherwise. Thc bond is signed
j by Wilie Jones. P. IL Ilaltiwanger and
j Scott Pope.
Mr. Bellinger recently notified those
bondsmen that they were expected to
call to see. him and settle the matter ut
once. Of the three Col. Jones failed
and intimated to the Attorney general
that ho was willing to pay up aud
would do so. Mr. Bollinger said yes
terday that neither of the other gentle
men had taken any notice of his letter
io them, and uv would forthwith pre
paro to enter snit.
The bond was given for $20,000. < >f
course the bondsmen will only have to
make good thc shortage, which Mr.
Bellinger insists must bc considered
what is set forth in the legislative com
mittee's report. Koch- bondsman is
liable for tho entire amount in case the
others fail to produce property cover
ing their share.
lt is understood that the other bonds -

of the money claimed to 1?' duo tho
State;. Mr. Popo is said to have^inti

Submarine Torpedo Hont.
liUKKM'OUT, X. Y.. September ?.'2.
Thc submarine torpedo boat Holland
made a remarkably good showing dur- ;
ing the practice run to-day. The trials j
were made over the course, in Little
Poconic Hay, which will be used for
the dive tests tobe held later. Tho
vessel was recently overhauled, and
duriug the run of to-day showed a con
siderable increase of speed. The now
diving appaiatns for opcratiog the !
steering engine worked successfully,
the boat getting under water and com
pletely out of sight in quick time. Be- j
side diving, running on Iii? surface i
and nuder water for a long length of
time, torpedo practice was indulged in.
Th? Whitehead torpedo was used, sim
ilar in design to those used on the
smaller vessels of the United States
navy. Sufficient air wan stored in the
air chamber of the torpedo to give it a
radius ol action of about 500 yards.
The trial was in sending tho boat over j
a mile course submerged, nt tho end of !
which it carno to the surface mid tho |
torpedo was?disehargcd from tho tube,
which is about five feet below thc sur
face of tho water. The run underwa
ter was made in about ton minutes.
Tu? torpedo was successfully discharg
ed from tho tube, but owing to what is
thought to have been a disarrangement
of some of the mechanism the torpedo,
instead of taking a straight course,
took a downward turn and tho vol um?
of muddy water sent up showed that
it struck tho bottom about fifty feet
from the bow of tho boat.
