forts of Congressman w. G. Brantley,
Postmaster A. b. Finley, Hon. f. Willis

ance of an early rural mail delivery and
if the postal authorities will see that the
mail from Douglas is transferred at the
proper time TO the Air Line Railroad each
day, instead of remaining in Waycross an
unnecessary twenty-four hours as has
invariably been the case for the past six
months, then our mail service will be all
that could be desired.

THE RAYS OF THE CORONA.
ServiSO Says They Are Nearer to the
Earth Than Is the sun.

serviSo Says They Are Nearer to the
Earth Than Is the sun.
Columbia, S. c., May 2S.-In South Caro-
lima the weather was we'll suited for OBJ
serving the eclipse to-day.
AT Newberry there were two parties,
one composed of Frank H. Bigelow and
Cleveland Able, OF The United States
Weather Department at Washington, and
the other of Garrett p. Serviss Charles
Menhl1e, Otis Wattels and j. G. Levison
of Brooklyn. The totality at that point
lasted eighty seconds.
y Prof. Serviss is convinced that the coro-
ma must be nearer to the earth than the
sun itself as it required an entirely differ
ent focus. He also noted hitherto uneX-
planned conditions in the atmosphere at
the occurrence of totality. n.f
Both parties had specially constructed
cameras which worked successfully.
The corona exhibited four distinct rays.
Prof. Serviss' calculation is that one of
these was four million miles long and ex
tended almost to Mercury.
At Li,tle mountain, the South Carolina
University watched the phenomenon. The
shadow bands were plainly seen. The
yellowish light of the corona prevented
total darkness, but a deep twilight set
tied over the country. A wide perspec-
tive was afforded from this eminence, and
the shadow could be traced in retreat as
the sun emerged from totality.
The atmosphere was considerably agi-
tated, and the temperature fell AS de-
grees after first contact and ranged about
10 degrees below it's normal. The instant
of totality birds were hushed and other
animals showed anxiety. The effect on
children was remarkable. They became
drowsy. Chickens and dogs were I'M
usually noisy.
Mercury and Venus were seen with the
naked eye. Totally lasted eighty-nine
seconds, beginning at S42:42 o'clock.

PRINCE LUDWIG'S REMARKS.
They Are Creating Much Discussion
in Germany.

Berlin, May 2S.-The Nord Deutsche
Allgemeine Zeitung tonight denies that
Prince Ludwig of Bavaria had any reason
for making his anti-Prussian remarks
last week. The paper says that in any
event he could not have been aggravated
because of not having been given proper
attention by the Berlin court.
Meanwhile Prince Ludwig has again
spoken in a similar strain. In an address
yesterday before the Bavarian Agricul-
tural Society in Modelling he said:
People would do wei to study the con-
stitution of the empire, Then many would
not make staten snts or acknowledge aims
wholly irreconciIable with that constitu-
ton"
These remarks are interpreted here as
aimed against Emperor William.
