i FORT MILL TIMES. VOL. IX. FORT MILL, S. C., WEDNESDAY, MAY 23,1900. NO. 10. 101 tew OF THE Rare Spectacular Celestial Phenomenon. ? TO OCCUR ON THE 28TH INST. The Path and Duration of Totalltv? I Where Observations Will be Made bv Scientists. Veiling ton, r>. C., Special.?The forthcoming total eclipse of the sun on May 28. is attracting world-wide attention. smd astronomers everywhere have long been making preparations for observing and photographing the phenomenon. Besides making the usuai time observations, interest largely centers in photographing the corona, the coronal streamers, the spectra of the chromosphere, and particularly the eel ehratcd flash spectrum appearing both at beginning and end of totality. Fortunately it will be posible to witness the phenomenon from many sections of the United States. The Johns Hopkins University expe iitions to observe the solar eclipse will work in unison with the United States Naval Observatory and under the supervision of the latter. The observa?ories of the Naval Observatory will be divided among five parties. At Pinchurst. N. C.. there will be four astronomers from Washington, under the direction of Professor Skinner; the Johns Hopkins party from the Coast and tioedetic Survey, under Professor G. A. Bauer. At Griflin. Ga., there will he one Naval Ohsjcrvatory party, consisting of Dr. U. S. Mitchell, of Columbia University; Professor Henry Crew and Dr. Tutall. of the Northwestern University of Virginia, and L. E. Jewell, of the Johns Hopkins University; Professor S. J. Brown. Astronomical Director of the Naval Observatory, will conduct observations at Barnosville. Ga. rw~ ? ? - -i ? " i .it wucsfs aiici universities or mo country will be well represented. Expeditions will be dispatched by Harvard. Vale, Columbia. Princeton, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Virginia, the University of Chicago, etc. On May "S the circular shadow of the moan cast by the sun upon the earth, and about eighty miles in diameter, will conie sweeping across the American continent from New Orleans to Cape Henry. Along the centre of the path traveled by this swiftly moving shadow t he sun will bo completely hid- I den for a period of about two minutes. ' More than forty miles away, on either tide of the track the eclipse will be partial, not total. \n eclipse of the sun that will be visible can occur only when the moon is new. At that time she passes exactly bet .veen the earth and the sun. According to the calculations of Professor laimslen, the round black shadow in out of space same time after sunrise on ttie morning of May 28. This gigantic arm will come into contact with the earth somewhere near the Re villa Gigedo islands in the Pacific ocean. With tremendous velocity the shadow will rush toward the mainland and will enter Mexico, near Oorrientes. at a speed of more than 100 miles a minute. In eight minutes it will have crossed the Rocky Mountains, and by 7:SO central or 8:30 eastern time it will liave crossed the Gulf and entered Mexico. Then on it will pass, over its selected path, until it Is lost again in space. The period of totality of the eclipse varies at different points along the track. At the Rocky Mountains the spectacle will last but about thirty seconds. and at New Orleans the period will have been lengthened thirty-seven seconds. At Union Point, Green county. Gu. the centre of the path for the United States, the time of tality will be niney-two seconds, while those who are at the Atlantic coast, just south of the city of Norfolk, will be able to continue their observations for lor, seconds Agulnaldo Heard F-rom. Manila, by Cable.?-A proclamation purporting to have been issued by Aguinaldo, and dated May 14, from Polillo Island, one of the Philippine group <-ast of Luzon, is circulating in Manila. It says the commission appointed by President McKinley was appointed without, the authorization of Congress and that hence it can not treat officially Ft urges the Filipinos not to surrender their arms at tbo instigation of the commission, and on promises which Congress may not ratify, and ho also urges the Filipinos to enthusiastically welcome the comnriesiou when it arrives in the towns and provinces, asking them boldly for the form of government they most desire, as the Americans permit freedom of speech Rev.

Twelve dollars and thirty cents is the allowance of seven thousand and fiftyone pensioners of the State of South Carolina. This is the allowance not for a month, but for twelve months. It is what the State allows its pensioners, soldiers of the Ix>st Cause, who are more than 60 years of age and who liavn vw%? 4 1 ?iAft ~ * ? V uut mvi r iiia-ll f IW U ycttl IIIcome, or widows of old soldiers who may be similarly circumstanced. Old soldiers who were wounded and who have an income not in excess of $250 a year are in the same class. Then there is another class known as Class B, which numbers 302 and these are each to get $16.40 for the year. Class A, which is made up of those totally helpless, receive $72 a year and it numbers forty-eight. This is how the $100,000 appropriated by the State of South Carolina for its indigent Confederate pensioners Is distributed. It is a great deal for the State to do for its soldiers, according to the views of he economic members of the General Assembly.but it shows Iiqw little there Is in the pensions for each of the poor soldiers and widows who feel constrained to apply to the State for which they fought. It is a charity | which is not asked for by all who de- j serve it. For many years the old soldiers felt a delicacy about asking for the pension the State offered. Now that delicacy is passing away to a certain j extent and the pension lists this year . are six hundred larger than they were ; last year. The increases anil the I strength of the lists are largely notice- j able In the border counties on tho North Carolina lin?> It Is a hard matter to confine the lists to those who are striitly entitled to the benefits of he pension appropriation. The county boards, made up of old soldiers, have to be relied upon to a large extent, in fact practically entirely. If frauds creep in It cannot be the, fault of the Stute boarfl, as the greatest publicity is given to the lists that are approved and circumstances show that most of the counties are extremely rigid in their regulations and examinations. The checks for the pension money j were made out Friday. The rolls for j Chesterfield and Florence Coonty are not exactly straightened out and information has heeu solicited on them; and no roll or return has even yet been received from Charleston. The State board estimated the Charleston list to hi* nhmit thr* cum a it loo* *"* *" bin. of course, can send no money to the pensioners in Charleston until the approvaed list is received here and checked up. The cause of the delay in Charleston is not explained. Winthrop Commencement. Following is the programme of the commencement exercises of Winthrop College: On Friday evening, June 1, the Winthrop Chapter. United Daughters of the Confederacy, will hold a regular meeting. An interesting programme lias been arranged, hut by far tlie most enjoyable feature will bo the annual addrc-s hv Gen. Miliedge L. Bon ham, of Anderon. On Sunday morning the sermon before the Y. M. C. A. will he preached and on Sunday evening the baccalaureate sermon will lie delivered by Bisho Duncan, of the Methodist Church. Monday evening the j literary societies will uuia meir joint celebration; Tuesday morning: is to be devoted to the annual concert and reception. The alumnae meeting cornea on Wednesday morning and on Wednesday evening the culmination of it all, the address before the graduating class by Mr. J. C. Hemphill, of Charleston, and the awarding of diplomas and certificates. A Progressive Daily, The Columbia State is just now showing commendable enterprise in its news service, which is full and complete in every detail. Its editorial utterances are always vigorous and locid, and while one may differ ever so widely from its opinions on matters concerning the general welfare of the State and nation, we are bound at all times to respect its utterances for their candor and fairness. The State is a truly great paper, always alive and progressive, and is doing much to ad vance South Carolina's industrial and other interests. Wants A5sistance. Washington. D.

Atlanta. Ga.. Special.?The commissioners to the Southern Presbyterian General Assembly, which is holding its thirty-ninth annual session in the Central Presbyterian church, of this city, met for the first business session Friday. The attendance was larger than Thursday, and an active Interest was shown in all the proceedings, not only by the 200 commissioners, but a large number of visiting members and laymen of the Presbyterian Church, officially connected with the Assembly and many resident Presbyterians. The day s sessions opened with devotional exercises, after which the transaction of routine hllslnosK wn..- Iinixnn Clerk Alexander read the committee report, which had been appointed by Ine Moderator. The personnel of the committees is considered very important, as much of the work of the Assembly will be directed by them. 1 he committees on records for each State were named as follows: Alabama, Byron Clark, tiro. Stevenson; Arkansas, \Y. T.' Walter. .1. M. Carothers; Florida. It. A. Hardin, P. McGregor; Georgia, H. S. Brown. S. D. Reynolds: Kenturkv .1 H swntm I M. C. Moore: Memphis, R. A. Hrown, | A. E.

Interest was intense as the stated rlerk read the overtures from the Synods and Presbyteries of the South. The overtures were referred to the proper committees and constitute the work which will come before the Assembly. The Presbytery of Suwanee, Fla., protested against the "spectacular ami theatrical features" of children wearing fancy costumes in the exercises to be held on Children's Day, May 27. A time was set apart for raising funds foi foreign mirslonarv work. The question of divorce and re-marriage will be a leading one before the Assembly. The Synod of Alabama and the Presbyteries of Memphis and Norfolk sent, ill overtures asking for definite Church laws, governing the re-marriage of divorced people. The question of salaries for secretaries of the executive committees will be an important one, many overtures being filed asking that no increase he. made in them. On the adoption of a new hymn book, there were overtures strongly protesting against a change this year, it being claimed that the expense will be too great. Hester's Cotton Report. New Orleans, Special.?Secretary 1 Hester's weekly New Orleans cotton exchange statement shows that for the 260 days of the season that have elapsed, the aggregate movement into sight is behind the 260 days of last year 2,008,000 bales and behind the I same days year before last 2,071,000. The amount, brought into sight, during j the past, week has been 56,780, against 68,157 for the seven days ending this late last year. The total movement for the 260 days from September 1 to date is 8 681,198, against* 10.689,406 last year.

BUT IS OPEN TO CONVICTION. Test Being Made by Doctors to Prove That Mosquitoes Produce MalariaOther natters. "Prove all things and hold fast that which is good." Science is doing that, ! hltt ft conme ^ 1? ? I wuv *v o\.utuo i w uiC lliUt UH' IUUUVI11 j doctors attach too much importance to a cerm theory. They are trying to I cure all sorts of diseases by exterminating germs, microbes, bacteria ami other invisible infusoria. Maybe they were not intended to be exterminated but are a part of the economy of nature. There are botts in a horse's stomach and wolves in a cow's back and fleas on a dog for some useful purpose, and it may bo that these invisible germs are a necessary part of our organism. We eat them in food and drink fbcin in water and breathe J them in the air, but. still I reckon there arc a poisonous, infectious kind that do produce disease and pestilence. I was ruminating about this from having read in a London paper an account of the experiment now being made by the British'Medical Society to discover the true cause of malaria in the Pontine marshes that for centuries, has proved a slow and certain death to the poor peasantry who work thcro i and have to work there to making a j living. These Campagnean marshes i lie adjacent to Rome and cover a terj ritory twenty-flve miles long and ten I miles wide and are wonderfully productive, giving three crops a year, but the malaria soon pales and sickens the strongest men, and they have to stop j their work and go to the hills to die. To discover and remove the cause has ( been the problem of the ages, 'l hreo hundred years before Christ these | marches were solid land and the Api plan way wag built upon It. Slowly ! and surely the water encroached upon j the land and submerged it, destro.v ing the Appian way, the aqueducts ' and arches. Julius Caesar and Aui gustus Caesar spent immense sums to ! drain them, but without avail. They were finally given up to the labor of the slaves, and Pliny tells of one man, Cecllius Claudius, who owned 4,110 of them, all males, who worked there and were not allowed to marry. Their n riinl fn in ? oo in n?nt?h rv.. * ?? P-11 VI uv i MIVV, " tuj IU ??\?irv UUl a Ul in lliu and die. About 125 years ago Pope Pius VI made another effort to drain tho marshes but Jailed, and since then all efforts and all hope has been abandoned. Hut now a new theory comes tip before the scientific school of medicine and has agitated the medical savants all over the world. It is claimed that a malarial climate does not produce mosquitoes but that, mosquitoes produce mnliria. and it is their hites or etings and suction of the blood of the peasantry and thereby inoculating them with poison and producing malaria that eventually wastes the life away. This theory has found many strong advocates in L>ondon and Paris and Berlin, and now they are preparing to prove it. The Knglish government is having a wire gauze house built, and it is to be placed in the middle of the Pontine marshes, and two Bngliah physicians have volunteered to live In it for a year or more and test the effect of the climate secure from the mosquito. Just think of that! Living in a wire gauze house right in the midst of the most noxious miasmatic climate in the worid, and all for.the sake of science and humanity. If thoy prove their theory then they will cease to use quinine for the malaria hut build wire houses and wear wire cowls or hoods over their heads and faces and .fence out the mosquitoee and turn their next attention to exterminating them. They say it is a big thing, financially, for there are two million acres in those marshes and will be worth if they succeed a thousand dollar* an acre, and that makes two thousand million dollars for Rome and the pope. Hut still I am dubious. I don't believe the mosquito introduces malaria into the human system. His proboscis draws out blood but nuts nre cious little in The germ theory lias become a scientific fad and has not yet been proven. The doctors all went mad about Pasteur and his inoculating virus, but that has subsided and we never hear of it now. Kolas are too ready to believe any new thing. Appendicitis raised a mighty rumpus for a white and every sick man imagined he had it, and it must be cut off, but the disease is now doubted and the use of the knife almost abandoned. Just so folks take up with new doctrines of polities and religion. Dr. Vance, of Nashville, said not ioug ago that if a shrewd, smart man with a lively tongue was to declare that it was necessary for salvation that a man should Jump off the roof of a house onto the pavement> he would And followers who would be jumping all over tbo country breaking* their arms and legs and necks on this new road to be>aven. What upon earth these Mormon elderH and proselyters expect to accomplish is a mystery to me, and I am amazed that any person with common sense can lie fooled by them. They ought to be scourged ?-d out of this country. Speaking of germs, a philosophic friend writes that the doctors have TAILOR-MADE JJ ^ BOYS' SPRING SUITS _ T. B. BEIX "The Xprnmptlr procured.
