THE SUNS TOTAL ECLIPSE.
Professor T. H. Bigolow's Interesting
Talk Of the Phenomenon,

Prof. f. H B!gelow has written an
Interesting statement of the total
eclipse of the sun May. %, 1900. The
path of the shadow, he says, will be-
gin at sunrise over the Paci1c ocean just
TO the west Of Mexico, aud extend
thence no-th-eastward over the South
ern States from New Orleans to Norfolk,
crossing the middle portions Of the
North Atlantic to Portugal and terml-
mating near the northern end of the
Red Sea at sunset. The location Of
track in the United States is remarka-
BILE for its convenient accessibility to q
multitude Of people. He estimates
that more than half million persons
will see the total eclipse of more or
less duration from their homes, and
many more will take advantage Of the
opportunity to see the event Of life
time. Educators should encourage
their students to see it, ard ne suggests
it would be popular thing for the rail
roads to arrange for excursions to the
cities and localities afording the most
favorable opportunities for q sight, as
there are good hotel Accommodations
through all the sections affected The

has been conducting cloud survey of

sPI0N KOP CAPTURED.
The British Gets the Best Of the Beers
for Once.

The British war Office has issued the
following dispatch from Spearman's
camp, dated Jan. 25, 1910 a M:
Gen. Warren's troops last night oc-
oupied Spion kop, surprising the small
garrison, who fed. 1t has been held
by US ali day, though we were heavily
attacked, especially by a very annoying
shell fire. Il fear our casualties are
considerable aad have to inform you
with regret that Gen. Woodgate was
dangerously wounded. Gen. Warren
is OF the opinion that he has rendered
the enemys position uatenable. The
men sre splendid. "
Among the killed On the British side
was Gen. Woodgate, Gen. Buffers
phrase, the men are splendid, thrills
England with pride and confidence.
His taking and holding Spion kop are
considered permanent advantages. A
Loudon dispatch says the jubilstion
over Gen. Warren's ACCOMPLISHMENT
in capturing Spioo kop Tuesday night
is chaStcned by the realization that his
success is only rrovidential, as it ap-
pears cleSr from Gen. Butlers dispatch
that the Beers fully recognize the
strategical importance of Spion kop and
at the time his message was sent OF
they had not abandoned the hope of
recapturing the position. Nevertheless
a hearty load of aL1icty has been re-
moved from the ration and there Is
general expectation that, as the British
have Succeeded in keeping the hill all
day long, they will manage to Ietalu 1t
until Gen. Warren plants guns euougn
on it to dominate the Boer trenches
right and left. There IS the usual dis
position here TO cxagserate the impor-
;ance of the point scored, but the best
Informed people realize that Butler has
a tax ahead of him calling for the
most doggcd persistence and uu,iriug
attacks, and that the difficulties will
increase as the position develops.
THE british FAL BACK.
The British War ofice at London
posted the following dlspa:ch from Gen.
Butler, dated Spearuans Camp, Thurs
day, Jan. 25, noon:
Gen. Warren garrison, l am sorry
to say, find this morning mad IN the
night Abandoned Spion kop."
A dispatch from London says seven
days of fighting have left the main
Boer positions intack and Gen. Bullers
army 706 men weaker, according to the
official casualty lists, which seemingly
do not Include the Spion ko p losses; as
those last forwarded do not mention
Gen. Woodgates woundiug.
England is possessed by depressing
scene Of failure, though not a word in
crilicisr Of her generals and soldiers Is
uttered Nov much effort is made to
place happy construction upon Gen.
Buffers bare IS words telling Of the re
tlremeut from Spion kob, aud there is
an uneasy impression abroad that
worse news is yet to come.

be the leading seaport on the South At
lautic coast, and with the new Life that
pervades the commercial interests in
the city now it is destined soon to oc-
cupy its rightfnl position. Whateve,
advance is made in one part Of the
State will be helpful to the entire State,
and every patriotic SOD of South Caro-.
lima should be ready and willing and
anxious 10 give every endeavor in the
direction Of progress his we'll done and
God speed.
That such an exposition as is pro-
posed to be held will be helpful l am
sure. 1t is not asked that you appco
pirate aoy money to the project but
simply give it your official and personal
endorsement. This am sure you will
readily do as the request comes frou
the entire business interests of the city
Of Charleston. | commend it to your
most favorable consideration.
Respectfully submitted,
NJ. B. McSwceney,
Governor.
