WAS OUT OF SIGHT
LADY LUNA WALKED OVER BY THE
EARTH LAST NIGHT.

The Eclipse Began Shortly After 10 O'Clock
and Lasted Over Four HOurs-It Vas the
Most Complete Eclipse Since lSss-It
will Come Back Again In Thirteen
Months-It Was Watched By Many Peo-
pie, Including Some Local Celebrities
1t is said that Tiger Wanted to Get Out
an Injunction Against the Earth.
Promptly at 10 o'clock last night Lady
Luna in her brilliant and stately fligh:
across cloudless sky, came in contact
with the earth's shadow and the first
thing she knew there was a bite taken
out Of her left side like bite out OF a
nice large round apple. She began rap
idly TO go into a state OF eclipse. Her
pale splendor rapidly wore away until
II :06 when the goddess of night looked
like a round slice OF watermelon. She
remained in this condition until 12:4S
when the earth kindly proceeded to
get out OF her way and at /: "a she was
herself again.
The eclipse was watched by hundreds
OF people many OF whom took their OBJ
servationS from the roof OF the Eagle
office where the astronomy man Of the
Eagle told them all about IL.
Tiger Bill watched the eclipk from
his palatial home on the West Side
and he was so touched with the trans
itory glory of things that he was quite
sad. He figured that he might be
eclipsed some day himself when the
shadow of some brawny tax payer cuts
gradually into the disc of his ambition
and leaves nothing Of IL. As the shad-
ow of the earth invaded the realms OF
the moon Tiger, for a moment forgot
himself and the limits OF his power and
called for his horse 50 that he could
come over into town TO get out an in
junction against this planet eating up
the moon He was restrained from do
ing 1t only by the efforts OF his friends.
Seth Tucker saw and watched il, too,
and no doubt saw lots OF evidence in
the fact TO use against the Christian
religion.
Lieurance. secretary of the police
commission. watched II with interest"
Mr.. Lieurance watches everything from
a standpoint of interest and ii afforded
him delight TO see the whole surface OF
the friendly planet wiped out as grad
ually and surely as though he held one
of his ten per cent per month mortgages
on IT,
David Smyth watched u carefully
and gleefully as 1t reminded him of the
awful shadow he inteds to throw over
the county OF Sedgwick in the line OF
court costs 10 enforce the prohibitory
law.
George Douglas saw II with pain.
for the poor moon survived its eclipse
while he realized that he never can.
Charlie Hatton saw the moon over
his right shoulder as he went home from
the Grand Army meeting and while he
is not superstitious he realized that for
tune is smiling on him. He felt sorry
for Dave Dale who has been under
going a very disasterous eclipse during
the past few weeks which is noticeable
IN every portion Of the county.
Many others studied the aspect OF the
moon until 1:5i in the morning when
she came entirely out of the shadow o!
the earth and appeared herself once

Hogs Born on Wheels.

John Caesar Cicero Gustavus
Darling, the noted Sullivan
county, N. Y, hunter, is dead.
For nearlya century he had lived
in his mountain home at Sand
Pond, where the telling of his
quaint yarns and the presence of
his dwarfed form and long, flow
ing beard, reaching nearly to his
feet, made him famous. Scared
and disfgured by his encounters
with animals and crushed by a
bear until nearly dead, he still
lived, like most of Sullivan
county's hardy woodsnen, to a
ripe old age. 1t was not the
many deer and bear which he
killed that gave the old man his
celebrity, but his propensity for
storytelling. One of his best
yarns was told a short time be-
fore his death.
81 once had a hog that lost the
use of her hind legs" he said,
"ard | made a two wheeled
truck by saving two rounds
from log s inches in diameter.
l then bored a hole in the center
of the wheels, whitfield a stick
the right size, and in no time
had cart, which placed under
her hind parts. She seemed to
take kindly to it, and l turned
her out to feed on beech nuts,
where she picked her living dur
ing the winter. In the spring l
found when l went to look for
her, that she had given birth to
twelve pigs, and every one had
a tWo-Wheeled truck under it.
Even the brass-headed nails and
the strap that used in fastening
the truck to the mother were on
the little trucks"

these wells cannot be put i'll.
Special machinery is built for
the purpose and throughout the
Northwest, West, and Southwest
it is regular business with men
to go round with these machines
sinking wells wherever needed.
Our penitentiary authorities on
the State farms in the East could
not do better than to sink some
of these wells, at once improving
the health Of the convicts and
giving an object lesson to Eas-
tern North Carolina. With the
success of a systematic move
ment of this kind for the santa
ton of Eastern North Carolina
(Which is approved by science

States a new impulse would be
given to that part of our State
which would fairly revolutionize
it.
Some one has said, do what
you can and whenever you can
for your fellow man-for you
will not pass this way again. "
With that motive / have written
this for your paper, on a subject
to which l have devoted some
labor and study, in the hope that
it will fall under the eyes of
some who will have the energy
and the public spirit to do for
the Sun Rise" land of North
Carolina what has been SO sue
cessfully accomplished for the

Wages at Southern Mills.
News & Observer.

The newspapers have recently
contained numerous statements
of the raising of the wages of
operatives at cotton mills and
other manufacturing establish
ments throughout the North. In
mentioning these constan t
proofs of increasing prosperity,
however, it is we'll to note that
the reason these advances in
wages are confined mainly to the
Northern States is that the
wage, of similar operatives III
the South were not reduced dur
ing the recent period of indus,
trial depression, except in a few
instances. To speak of advanc-
ing wages in the North alone,
without mentioning the fact that
wages in Southern mills are not
being advanced simply because
they were not reduced, would be
unjust to the owners OF mills IN
the South. The wages paid ops
eratives in North Carolina and
other Southern States i'll many
industries are relatively greater
than those paid in the North,
even when recent advances are
considered.
1t is gratifying to note the re-
turning tide Of commercial and
industrial activity that is sweep
ing over the land, North and
South, and it is especially graft
flying to note the increase of
manufac uring enterprises i'll
this State, the cordial relations
existing between employers and
operatives, the immunity from
strikes and kindred disturbances,
and the promise of substantial
prosperity which the future seems
to hold in store for us.

Advertising should be treated
precisely as any other invest
nent, and in nine cases out of
ten it pays a better profit than
anything for which money is
spent. The best evidence that
advertising pays is the fact that
millions are invested in it by all
sorts of trade and by the most
successful business men in the
land. No sensible man can be.
lieve that successful business
houses advertise for the fun of
the thing. With them it is

Not the IndIans' Fault.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 3.-General
Coppinger, who had command of the
recent military expedition to the
Jackson Hole country, to-day had a
conference with Secretary Lamont, to
which Commissioner of Indian Affairs
Browning was invited. Il do not
consider the Indians were to blame
for the Jackson Hole affair."" said
General Coppinger at the close Of the
conference, "They. are entirely quiet
now and have been. In fact they
would not say boo to a goose"
One question which the General
brought to the attention of Secretary
Lamont and Commissioner Browning
was the ~advisability of annexing the
jackson Hole country to Yellowstone
National Park. He suggested this &C.
tion would solve the problem by pre-
venting all parties hunting and fish
ing in that section, and said as the
country was not densely settled, he
thought there would be comparatively
little difficulty in making the change.
Commissioner Browning said that in
the first place it would be a matter for
Secretary Smith and then Congress,
adding he did not know how the peo.
pie of Wyoming would regard it, as it
would deprive that State Of territory.
General Coppinger's report on the
Indian trouble has been turned owe
to Secretary Lamont. The General
declined to say whether he made u
recommendations for the continuance
of troops in the Jackson Hole country
or for the punishment of the partici.
pants in the trouble.
