South Carolina ordinance of secession,

known as "t’ae cause of the rebellion,”
Was Signed at Charleston on Decem

T A notation dated March 3. 1865, in
1 one cornet- read*:/ "This scroll of
treason was found in the house of
Dr. Lamb, secretary of state, along
with other state papers, while out on
a two-day jeout tour," followed by the
names of members of four companies

Delay in golar Eclipse.
There was a delay of about five sec
onds in the solar ecilpse of the sun
last January. Astronomers hare been
trying to find out what caused it.
They think it is a reflection upon
thgir science to make such a tremend
ous error 1
Prof. E. W. Drown, of Yale Uni
versity,
Valleys of- the moon were in part re
sponsible for the error in calculation.
In a leeture Prof. Brown decently ex
plained that a,mountain on the moon’s
surface, obstructing th(r- sun’s rays,
would account for a delay ot from one
to three seconds. Oh the other
hand, a large valley on the moon
would make the eclipse occur too
by permittings the cays of the
sun to shine through.
Other reasons for t'.ie miscalcula
tion also suggested. For in
stance. assorted Prof. Browh, the
earth is slowing down at the rate of
about 1-lO.OOOth of a second in a
'century. Besides, the width, of the
| shadow east during the eclipse last
I January indicates that the diameter
| of the moon is smaller than was sup
posed by astronomers.

THE -CONCORD DAILY TRIBUTE
By CHARLES P. STEWART
NEA Service Writer
Washington, Dec. 28.—Nobody in
Congress is so favorably situated for
having a good time as a party delega
tion of one.
A member of a big delegation has
to submit to party discipline. He's
a eo'gr True, he can insurge, but
he’s hated if he does, which costs him
political advantages he’d enjoy other
wise. -
A delegation of one has none but
himself to think about. He isn’t
a debel. He's a minority party and
gets recognition a/isuch.

Senator Henrik Shipstead. Minne
sota Farmer-Laborite, is distinguished
thus in the upper, and Representative
Victor L. Berger, Wisconsin Socialist
in the lower house.
Shipstead had a fellow Farmer-
Labor senator, Magpus Johnson, in
the last Congress, but not in -this.
In the hoUse, with Berger, sits An
other member, Fiorelja H. La Guar
dia, of New- York, who classes official
ly as a Socialist. La Guardia, how
ever, really is a Republican who
couldn’t get his own part nomination
in the last campaign and 'had to run
as A Socialist. Actually, Berger
flocks alone.
Shopstead and Berger stand well.
They have good committee assign
ments. Shipstead notably on foreign
relations and Berger on labor. \ On
these, among other subjects concern
ing which they ara exceptionally well
informed, they’re regarded as authori
ties.
Their influence is considerable, from
the very fact that, as between the
big groups, they’re quite disinterest
ed- „ \
The “regulars' ” attitude toward
them is altogether different from the
"regular" attitude toward the insur
gents. who) claim to belong to a big
party when the big party doesn’t con
sider that they do.
Where. Missionary Work Is Futile.
High Point Enterprise.
The Christmas holidays are to he
used by the Chinese national students'
union for an anti-Christian demon
stration iu the yellow republic.
A missionary leader says:
“We are more deeply grievted be
cause the chief causes that lie lat the
bottom of this outbreak of anti-Chris
tian feeling are largely the result of
the failure of Christian nations to
deal justly with China. Christianity
in China is bearing the burden of
wrong international relations with so
called Christian nations.”
The ’'heathen” no longer take the
missionary’s word for the glories of
the Christian life. They are dis
posed to study through their own
commissions the effects of the “new
birth" in Christian lands. The big
missionary problem of the church is
at home.
The anti-CJjt-istin.il World is not
averse to. aacepting the truth but
Christian people will never convince
the pagan of the truth of Christianity
until they live their faith more gener
ally Wnd mere courageously. The east
is interested ill western civilization
and particularly in the evidences of
western effectiveness but the east
hasn’t been able to see any connection
between the occidental "reUpon and
occidental culture and success.
Under modern conditions* America
probably could convert -Chinn to
Christianity if America were genu
inely Christian without ever sending
a missionary over the sea. but any
number ,-of missionaries will fafT to
convert her if China sees America
professing one ideal and living an
other. t
January 26 will be the one hun
dredth anniverSiu-y of the birth of
Mrs. U. 8. Grant, wife of the
famous civil war commander who be
came President of the United Static.
According to the latest report there
are 27,46!) women in tile Federal
Civil service in Washington, of which
the largest number are employed in
the Treasury Department.
