tncxperienced we only wished to ac
quaint him with the suffrage pro-
visions of the constitution, and urge
upon him the seriousness OF failure
ON the part of registrars to require
applicants for registration TO meas
ure up to the requirements of the
law.
Fifth. The remark attributed 70
Mr.. Taylor. In Mr.. Briggs affidavit. to-
wit: That any man who tried to get
a negro vote would steal or do any
other dirty thing to get his vote was
not made at this meeting.
Sixth. No effort was made to re-
move Mr.. Briggs by anyone present
at the meeting in question Mr.
Field an uncle OF Mr., Briggs, sug-
gested to Mr.. Briggs that it would be
better for him to resign. and turn
the books over to the former regis
trar, who was Mr.. Eanes. 1t develop
ed that Mr.. Briggs had not qualified,
and had only been active as registrar
since about November. 1913. No one
except Mr.. Field suggested the resig-
nation, nor was there any sentiment
to that effect expressed in the meet
ing.
Seventh No suggestion was made
at this meeting that Mr.. BRIGGS was
being paid one dollar apiece to regis
ter negroes. nor. did Mr.. Boggs repeat
IL To Dr. MeNair-t therein. Mr.. Boggs
hereby states that the remark was
made on the street, prior to the meet
ing, in the presence of several gentle
men. and that he repeated It TO DR..
McNair the following day in a private
conversation.
Finally, We will say that all OF us
are on. very friendly terms with
young Mr.. Briggs. and with his
fat her, and nothing was further from
our intention than TO make any per-
eonal attack upon the young man.
Respectfully subm'tted,

Installs Burglar Alarms.

The banking firm of Slocum, Ealy &
Hudson always keeps to the fore. 1t
has just had installed in its banks at
Middleton and Butternut one of the lat
est and most improved burglar alarm
systems, the firm being desirous of Civ
ing its customers the best protection OBJ
tainable along these lines. Financially,
the firm is exceedingly strong, and it
has won the confidence OF the people
both at Middleton and Butternut. The
proof Of this lies in the growth Of the
firms banks in these villages. Pros
poets for this year are excellent, and
both institutions, if present indications
hold out, will show a bigger growth than
ever John Il. Hudson is the active
head of these institutions, and also of

IF the alternative orbit is correct,
the comet will increase enormously in
brightness, and be very conspicuous
object next June; but until further and
better computations are available, it is
of no use to attempt to say more. We
may console ourselves with the knowl-
edge that according to either orbit, the
comet will continue to grow brighter
until we'll into March, so that the fuller

THE DELAVAN COMET
Still Subject Of Comment By SCien-
tlfiC Journals
IS STILL UNDER 0HSERVATI TON
Paul Getting Plenty Newspaper Publicity As A
Result OF His Find

In speaking of the comet recently dis
covered Ivy Paul Delayan, son OF Mr.
and Mrs. c. L. Delavan of this city, the
Scientific American of recent date, said
"Delayan's comet, whose discovery
was mentioned last month, is still under
observation in the evening sky. 1t is,
however, of about the eleventh magni-
tude, and is therefore visible only in
telescopes larger than the average anna
teur possesses. Its orbit is still very
uncertain; in fact, the results obtained
by different computers differ radically,
indicating that this again is probably
one of the cases where two solutions
of the problem are theoretically posi-
bic. That is, there might be two quite
different orbits, so situated that pair
of comets, moving each in one of them,
might be iii line with the earth at the
dates of all three observations, though
before or after this interval of time
they would appear to separate slowly
from one another in the sky
I'm such a case it may not be till
some little time after the discovery of
comet that it can be distinguished with
certainty in which of the two possible
orbits it is actually moving, though ul-
timately this can always be done.
I'm the present instance, the prelim-
mary orbits, computed from observa-
tions on three consecutive days, are de-
scribed by the computers as very un-
certain" Messrs. carson and Nichol-
son, at the University of California, de-
duce a highly inclined orbit, with the
very small perihelion distance of one
twentieth of the earth's distance from
the Sun, and perihelion passage on June
18th, 1914. Kobold, on the other hand,
finds the inclination small, the perihelion
distance one-ninth greater than that of
the Earth, and the time of perihelion
passage as March End.
IF the latter orbit is nearly correct,
the comet should remain in the evening
sky, gradually growing brighter until
the end of February, but probably not
reaching the naked-eye limit.
