( Bonds Carry by Big Majority.

I The light vote in Tuesday's t election was due in part to the ^ heavy rain in the afternoon and ! ^ I in part to the fact that it seemed ! * a foregone conclusion that the ? I proposition would carry bv a safe majority and that the few *3 who opposed it did no work to ^ defeat the measure. The next step in the proceed- P ing will be the arrangement for ! j: floating the bonds and the I" committee will lose no time in | " r completing this part of the work. * .

The phe, nomena may be observed all over the continent if the sky is clear. In this section the rise of the > moon will be almost normal and 1 the people may watch the shad- ~ ow of the earth gradually steal I over the lunar body. But fur! ther in the continent, probably 1 : on the other side of the Missis- A 1 sippi, the inhabitants will first _ see an odd looking disc of a j - faint reddish color rise from the east. When the moon rises here only ; a narrow portion of it will be ob- f served. Gradually it will enter . deeper and deeper into the earth's . shadow until the moon gives no light and is only barely perceptible. > This year the moon does not ? enter into the heart of the earth's shadow, so there will not Z j be a black eclipse. The moon, I however, will be in the earth's , ! shadow for over an hour, and 1 practically the only light from > the heavens will be that of the ' stars. > Riggs and Logue Pardoned. Fort Mill people were somef what surprised to read in Mon1 day's afternoon papers that Gov. Kitchin of North Carolina had granted pardons to Riggs and r Logue, two notorious crooks who - were serving terms on the Meck[ lenburg roads. The grounds up? on which Gov. Kitchin granted [ the pardons were not stated. I rill f? ?l. _ i ? > a ne crime ror wnicn rtiggs , and Logue were sent up is well | remembered by Fort Millians. I On a Sunday about two years i ago Riggs and I^ogue went to > the rear of the First Presbyterian church of Charlotte and during the service, stole the horse and ) buggy of a Mr. Dotger. The t team was driven to Fort Mill in i the evening and left on Clebourn street. During the night the . horse wandered to Sugar creek > near Barber's bridge and was > found the next morning in a bog i! with the buggy securely wedged i between two trees.

It is said that there are deserts n the ocean as well as on the [ry land?vast wastes upon vhich the eye of man has never ested and which have seldom if iver been crossed by the ships f commerce. The waves of hese wastes have never been >arted by the prow of a sailing 'essel, or lashed by the propeller f a steamer; immense solitudes vhere the flap of a sail is never leard nor the strident cry of iren; veritable deserts, whose ilence is broken only by the lowling of the wind and the oar of the waves, which have >een vainly pursuing one another ince the day of creation. These deserts lie forgotten bewixt the narrow ocean highways raveled by vessels. In such vaste places of the sea a disabled hip, driven out of its course by hurricane, may drift for nonths, tossed by the ceaseless round swell, without being able o hail assistance. Her only 1 hance of egfcape is the possitility that somo ocean current nay drag her into a more freluented region.
