PINE BLUFFIANS TO
SEE ECLIPSE TODAY

Pine Bluff amateur astronomers
anxiously will level their telescopes
at 1923 a. IN. today, when first con-
tact takes place in the annual eclipse
OF the sun, visible as a partial eclipse
all over the United States, Canada,
Central America, part of Europe, the
northern portion of South America
and western part Of Africa.
The phenomenon is of unusual
scientific interest as the center of the
sun will be obscured and rim of
light left around the circumference,
enabling astronomers to make obser
vations on cluster of planets near
Old Sol. 1t is said Mercury, Venus,
Mars, Neptune and Jupiter will be Wis
ible, nestled closely together in the
West shortly after sunset. This phe-
nomenon, it is declared, will not be
visible again in hundreds of years.
Among the observations in addition
to this will be that of the star Arc
turus, which has been a study for
ages.
According to Father Charropin, as
tronomer, of the st. Louis University,
the annular eclipse begins at sunrise
in the Pacific Ocean, crosses Mexico,
the Gulf, Florida and ends at sunset
in Africa.
In Pine Bluff the greatest obscura
ton occurs at 9:37. Elipse ends at
11:16, plus few seconds. Duration
hours and SO minutes. Magnitude
O.616, which means that at Pine Bluff
at the time of greatest observation
the dark moon will cover a little more
than the three-fifths of the suns disc.
At Tampa, Fla, which is very near
the central line of the annulus, the
dark moon at 9:45 a. m. will be seen
surrounded by a luminous ring one
fifty sixth of the suns diameter.

ALPHA TEMPLE NO. 1
PYTHIAN SISTERS

A most interesting meeting of the
above named lodge was held last
Wednesday night. Much business was
transacted among which was the con-
sideration of suspending delinquent
members and the selecting OF one OF
the members of this Temple, by re-
quest of the Supreme Chief, to be
commissioned Deputy Supreme
Chief to institute new Temples about
to be organized in this State. At
Portia, in the northern part of the
State, they are all ready and waiting
for some one to come and organize
them. Past Chief Sarah Moore was
unanimously chosen and as soon as
her commission arrives will go up and
institute the Temple at Portia. After
the business was over and Temple
closed nice spread consisting OF
cake, cream, fruit and nuts was par
taken of and all went away feeling
happy

If you haven't you have probably
heard a merchant advance an exactly
similar doctrine about advertising.
There are merchants who figure that
in dull times when money is not
easy to get, they cannot afford to
spend it for advertising space.
If there is any essential difference
between these two ideas-wherein
does it lie?
OF course, most men realize-when
anything else except the subject OF
advertising is involved-that at a
time when a thing is necessary is no
time to bubble about whether Or not
it can be afforded" But, as to adj
vertising, few men imagine that
to that.
Nothing else SO effectually lines up
the competent business man in con-
trast to the incompetent ones as this
very matter OF advertising. When
times are good" and money easy
the real merchants advertise literally
because it is necessary to store pres
tise and growth. The less capable
merchants advertise more or less
literally, according to the mood of the
moment. merely to ''be in the swim. y
When the pinch" comes-and tim
id people get a little scared at shad-
ows. and inclined to stampede with
any flock of human sheep that comes
tumbling along-the capable merchant
sees his opportunity, sets his more or
less square jaw at fighting angle,
and begins to test the efficacy OF
newspaper publicity in times of stress
and storm. He makes newspaper adj
vertising his ally, his dependence. He
stakes more on it than all other helps
combined.
And it does not fail him. 1t pulls
him through" the hardest bushes:
conditions that ever happened. AND
he comes out of the fight twice as
strong as he went into it.

Of course the same demands Tor
pensions for Confederate soldiers
will be made. Representative AVIl has
introduced bill to levy one mill
tax for pensions which is about the
amount that is now appropriat ed
and his bill provides that the money
collected in each county shall be dis
bursed in that county, but it does
not propose to change the present
pension laws.
Mr.. Aull also has a bill for the
establishment of rural mounted po-
lice, which was brought over from
last year. The original idea Of the
bill was to let these mounted police
take the. place of tne dispe1sary con-
stables and be paid out Of the dis
pensary funds, but after the State
dispensary was abolished the bill had
to be changed. After conference
WITH Representative Nash, of Spar
tanIburg, and other members, it was
decided to offer as substitute bill
which provides for the rural mounted
police, leaving to each county to sup
ply the number. The bill repeals all
laws which provide for State consta-
hles and for magistrates c"nstables,
the intention being that the mounted
police should perform the duties OF
these offices as we'll as be conserva-
tors Of the peace and look after the
enforcement Of all laws. 1t provides,
also, for police commission compos-
ed Of two free holders Of the county
who do not hold any political Office
and the sheriff Of the county. These
to appoint and have supervision OF
the mounted police. There is to be
ONE chief in each county at salary
Of $75 per month and Mr.. Aull pro-
poses two additional policemen for
Newberry county at $50 per month.
All of these to do patrol duty.
The State constable and the mag
istrates' constables in this county
now cost about $4,000. Under this
bill The three amounted police would
onlv cost $232O and it seems to me
that the additional protection which
they would give to the people in the
rural districts would fully justify
that appropriation. Mr.. Nash pro-
poses for Spartanbury county four
teen mounted policemen.
This measure will very likely come
ND for discussion during this week.

Holiday Post Card Rush.
American Stationer

The American Statloner.
Reports from all over the country
agree in the statement that the sale
of holiday post cards was record
breaker. It was far beyond the ex-
pectations of the most sanguine deal
ers and post Offices everywhere block
ed with the mass Of cards which
poured n, the day preceding Christ
mas. New Years was not quite So
marked, but the New Year rush was
enormous and eclipsed anything pre-
viously known in the history Of the
business.
The sale Of 1-ceat. postage stamps
at the New York post office the day
before Christmas aggregated 100000.
The total number Of Christmas cards
mailed at New York exceeded l2,0OO,-
600. The total number of New Year
cardh mailed at the same office ex-
ceeded 100000, but the office was
ready for the New Year rush and the
mails were not blocked.
The same conditions prevailed in
all other post offices. For example,
at Newark. n. J.. 1.250,000 post cards
were mailed. and so unexpected was
the rush that 100000 remained in the
post office undelivered over Christ
mas day.
II a New Jersey suburm. having a
rorrla1ion Of 12.r00 people over 2G.-
900 Christmas cards were mailed. and
probably close to $4,000 New Year
cards.
\ Brooklyn dru"g!s! in residence
district who handles post cards and
incidentally accommodates his pat
ron> with 1-cent stamps. sold 5000
stamps the day before Christmas.
These few incidents are given as
indications of the tremendous busl-
ness in holiday post cards in the Vi
cinity Of New York. The conclusion
that this is not a fad, but has come
to stay is Strengthener by a few in
dividual experiences. Two instances
illustrate :ll@ personal feature. One
person Of the writer's acquaintance
received Sixtv-Srven Christmas carls
and about half as many New Year
miSsives. \ Ip;~hAor received tGir-
tv-two Christmas cards in one mail.

more than 100 cards. Admitting that
these are exaggerated iustanceh. they
indicate now general the custom OF
sending post card holiday greetings
has become, and supply proof tina:
the post card is no longer a fad, but
it a staple article peculiarly adapted
to convey the sentiment one wishes
to express to ones friends.
The many beautiful cards sold: thi:

doubt largely increased the sale.

Not the Generals Daughter.

General Rodman was for long tine
a resident of Rock Island, and the
older residents remember that he had
but two daughters, both of whom mar
ried army officers, but the husband of
neither was named Curtis, There is
a possibility that the mother of the
Mr.. Curtis referred to in the forego
ing is the daughter of Colonel
John B. Rodman, brother of General
Rodman, and also for time a resident
of Rock Island, but if so the family
never lived in this city.
