told that there were 1900 people
on board. They were Germans,
Russian-Poles, and Hungarians,
and the interpreter told us that
in manners, decency of appear

were above the average. Our
people sang Jesus Lover Of my
Soul''in that old tune with which
the angels are familiay, and the
foreigners recognized it and
cheered us. Then the captain

A Sunday School Entertainment
at the National Cotton Mills.

at the National Cotton Mills.
Reported for The Robesonian.
On last Saturday evening the
National Cotton Mills Sunday
school gave to it's scholars an ice
cream supper which was very
much enjoyed by all present. At
ter the cream and cake was serv-
ed there was a short address by
the superintendent, Mr.. Jas.
Barnes, tnen a song byMissesLucy
Kinlaw and Clyde Brisson. Miss
Lucy Jones recited and gained
for herself a reputation as an
elocutionist Of rare talent. The
most interesting event Of the
evening was voting for the most
popular young lady present. Miss
Lilly Kinlaw won and waspre-
sented with a beautiful cake.
After the cake was presented
to Miss Kinlaw in a neat it'll E
speech by Mr.. John Patter, a
cake Of soap was voted to the
uglest man present, the ladies
alone voting. The soap was
easily won by Mr.. Alex. Carlyle
owing to the fact that Mr.. Arch
Prevatt did not get fair star
and that one of our most popular
county officers was not present.
The contests realized for the
new church $26.65. 1t is tn
intention of the officers of thi!
., school to make this the larges
Sunday-school in this section ant
to this end they are now prepar
j g for several more entertain
ments in the near future.

The splendid new comet. Of which New
Workers have, on account Of clouds, had
only one or TWO incomplete glimpses. Is
proving Itself to be, as was anticipa ed in
these columns, one OF the most remark
able ever seen
Il made its nearest approach to the sun
two weeks ago, when 1t WIS only about
S.soOpo miles from the suns centre. and
about three and third million miles from
its surface.
If the earth were brought as near as
that 10 the sun the oceans would boil
away, vegetation would wither ana catch
fire as If exposed TO the blast of furn-
ace, the very air would scorch and burn.
and life would disappear in torment of
fire.
The consequences Of the near approa ch
that We're felt by the comet were present
ed TO the eyes OF those who saw It in It's
remarkable golden glow. which extended
into the tail itself
The spectroscopic observations at the
Lick and Flagstaff observatories show
that this unWonted color was due 10
glowing sodium. similar color can be
produced i'm the fame OF a candle by
sprinkling common salt upon II. Sodium
has before been detected in the spect ra
OF comets. but never on such a scale OF
bIiliance as this. Ordinarily the spec
troscopc lines seen belong to some hydro
carbon compound.
This comet has bands due to hydro
carbon, but the sodium lines far GU,
| shine them. 1t has stamped itself as
| unique at the very first view.
The brightness of the tail is astonishing
| About week ago II was bright enough
| at distance of one or two degrees from
| the head to be visible through n thin
| veil of cloud.
| Everything about the come, spoke OF
the terrible baptism from which It jue,
! escaped. 1t came so unexpectedly that
! il was within a days run Of the perihe,

! line OF retreat is such as to keep II In
view for some time. and the observa tor
