The vote was 35 to 11. The sight witnessed Monday was one that will not again ho seen in this section of the country in the lifetime ot those now living or of their children. A meeting of the census enumerators for this county was held at. the courthouse Saturday after noon tc discuss the rules sent out by the government for their guidance in taking the census which work they will begin next Fri day. The Eclipse and the Winthrop Girls. The predicted eclipse of ihe sun, unlike the nrnilic.tnr] Klinwor r*l shooting stars that were to be seen some months ago, appeared Mon day morning on schedule lime and was the observed of all observers. From the time of the first con tact till the period of totality was an hour and about thirteen min utes. The sight just before and during the period of totality was superbly grand. Three stars or planets were observed by some, one (the planet Mercury) near the sun, another lower down in the east, and the other in the southern heavens. We saw only Mercury, which the astronomers tell us is one of the planets ol which the earth is another. They tell us it is smaller than our planet and only about 35,000,000 miles from the sun. while the earth is about 91,000,000 miles away from that luminary. The eclipse over, all interest centered on the arrival of the Winthrop college girls and its president and faculty who had passed down on a special train early that morning to view the eclipse at the most favorable point on the line (near Elgin). Accordingly people and vehicles began to gather at the depot to see them arrive and to convey them to the beautiful grove of the graded school building. The five wagons had been coupled out and provided with improvised seats covered with white cloth from the Lancaster cotton mills These wagons bore the feminine freight to the grove amid the cheers and the.jolly huzzas of the public and the girls themselves. At the grove ice cold lemonade was provided for all and each girl was given a neat little bouquet of flowers, lied with the colors of the ?:oiiecu There our readv ?nrt popular Mayor, Mr. Waddy C. Thomson, delivered an appropriate and unique address of wel come, which was responded to by Mr. I). R Johnson, president of Winthrop college. We regret our inability to furnish our readers with President Johnson's address of response. The following is the. address of Mayor Thomson : Mr President) Faculty and Young Ladies of Winthrop. Representing the town of Lancaster as its executive offif cer uml thereby the servant of; its citizens, I take pleasure in behalf of the town in extending to you this morning a hearty welcome to our community. We feel honored in your stopping in our midst on your way home. We have made no elaborate preparation or program for the occasion, feeling sure that you would not expect it and that you would reailily appreciate that your short stay with us would not permit it, however willing we might be to make the occasion one to be remembered by you. Young ladies, as a community, we are proud of the Institution that is today training you for the walks and responsibilities of life; it is as much ours as it is of any community in the state, and we commend the wise action of I i - _ ; ? ? your mum nisi ration in providing the opportunity of observing to an advantage the sublime spectacle afforded you this morning, and we sincerely trust that, as you have felt awed and impressed with the iinmutibility of God's laws governing the universe, as witnessed this morning, and have realized the utter helplessness and inability of man to prevent or stay them, that you have also been impressed with the knowledge of man in providing you with a schedule of this wonderful event as reliable as that of the train that carried you to your point of observation, and that it has illustrated to you the possible attainment of man by training, study and observation, and that it may lead you, each one, to a just appreciation of your valuable opportunities. It is our desire and wish that you shall feel at home with us during your stay in our community, and I assure you that all of our homes are open to you, that you will find the door of every house in Lancaster unlocked to you, and it fives lii(( nloasnre in nlivnincr into your cure and keeping tlio I key of the entire town, with your colors attached as a seal of your authority and ownership. Feeling that we are indebted to the eclipse for the pleasure of this visit, we have made thai key that we tender you as a souvenir of the occasion, large enough to "Eclipse" any that you are accustomed to use. We ask you to accept, regarding it as symbolical of the truth, that "to him that hath the key, there is no mystery." Young ladies and students, you have our best wishes for the highest possible attainments, and we trust that when you leave your alma mater to enter life's walks and assume their responsibilities that your pathway shall be brightened not only by tbe orb of day, but that you will invite into it the rich, warm beams of the Son of Righteousness and have tliein i mi? *-i 11 iif^ in your ni'iins, inaij you may, like the moon when 1 in its ususl orbi . r lect them unto others, nnd that you may never, never, by any :.ct of your own, create or p r 1 any ol>stiele to 001110 bet we v. ou nnd Ilis divine inlluenc . Trusting that your stay with us may be pleasant, and wishing you a safe, return to your college, I now take pleasure in turning you over to the care of your Lancaster friends.
