The agreement for a vote today was the first to be reached between th Democrats and Republicans on the b'P and came after Democratic leaders h'd refused to consent to the limiting of debate on each amendment to ten min utes for each speaker and that on the bill to one hour. Plans for procedure after 4 p. m. today had not been fully determined bji Kepublica leaders. Fifty Republican Senators having t signed an agreement to remain con tinuously at the Capitol beginning to day for votes on the tax bill, major ity leaders claimed they were in a po sition to wield the club of a continuous session until a final vote was taken on the' measure, but apparently they were not disposed to use this weapon except as a last emergency.

The mysterious light on Brown mountain in Burke county, which has puzzled scientists for several years, leading to many and varied theories as to its origin, is a mystery no longer, if the explanation contained in the current publicMion of the American Meteorological Society 1 uuueun nas tne correct solution. "Andean lightning" is the name of this phenomenon, according to Her bert Lyman, writing ifi the bulletin. "Andean lightning," says the report, "is the name given to a very striking luminous discharge of electricity seen over the crest of the Andes in Ohii.. in a region where ordinarily thunder- storms are almost unknown. The mountains appear to act as erifranu: ngntning rods, Between which and the clouds silent discharges take place on a vast scale. Because more frequently seen in the Andes than elsewhere the term "Andesan lightning" has been adopted. "However the same .phenomenon has b?en observed in the Swiss Alps and the mountains of North Carolina. .De tailed accounts of its appearance in the region of Brown mountain ;17 miles from Blowing Rock) in the sun. mers of 1917 and 1918 were given. Ac cording to Dr. AValter Knoche, for a number of years director of the weath er service of Chile, these great silent brush discharges of electricity exterd from the crest of the Cordilleras far out to sea. They almost always appear in a clear sky upon the approach of nightfall. As regards seasons, the phenomenon begins in the late Spring and is last seen in the Fall. The fre quency of discharge, says Dr. Knoche, seems in general to decrease with in. crease in distance from the equator. "In the discussion the occurrence of such mountain brush discharges hi the White mountains was mentioned." First meeting of the year for the Mecklenburg County Teachers' Asso ciation will be held Saturday morning at 10:30 o'clock in Hanna Hall, Y. M. C A. when plans for the new year will be discussed and the organization per fected. At 1:30 o'clock the same after -,. noon and at the same place, Dr. Frazer Hood, State high school inspector for this district, will meet with J. M. Mat thews, county superintendent of schools and all the teachers of the counts'- for the purpose of outlining the program of standardization now under way.
