WITNESSES AT
I, C. C. HEARING
Frank Armfield Examines
[ Dr. T. N. Spencer, Senator
F. J. Haywood and G« Ed.
Kestler at Hearing Friday.
The City of CoucoKl and the
County of Cabarrus were given a
hearing yesterday in Charlotte be
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission in the matter of the propos
ed extension of 'the lines of the Pied
! mbnt and Northern Railway Com
imny aud the opinion was expressed
here today by witnesses for Con
cord at the hearing that "every
thing looks beter toward Concord
securing the line turough the - city."
Dr. T. X. Spencer, secretary of
thp Chamber of Commerce and secret
tary of the Cabarrus District Fair
Association. Senator F, J. Haywood,
cotton goods manufacturer, and G.
Ed- Kestler, editor and publisher or
The Concord Observer, testified for
Concord in the examination which
was conducted by Frank ArmUeld,
member of the Concord bar. Mr.
Armfield is attorney for the City
aud County in hearing in Char
lotte in association with B. W.
Bteekwelder and J. I* Crowell, Jr.,
city attorney.
Senator Haywood testified that
two of the mills he was connected
with, are unable to secure side track
facilities on account of the topo
graphy of the land. He cited figures
oq the present amount of freight
sent from Ooncogfl saying that it
amounted from 7-5 million to 100
million pounds a year.
One of the arguments that was
brought out by Dr. Spencer was that
the line if extended through Concord
would serve approximately 17,000
people whereas if it went by Cox’s
Mill it would serve only about 500
people. Dr. Spencer when questioned
by Sidney S. Alderman, counsel for
the Southern Railway Company,
said that the railroad would not be
a necessity and public convenience
if it did not pass through Concord-
Dr. Spencer also said that the Dis
trict Fair here last • year atracted
about 65.000 people.
It was also brought out by the
Concord witnesses that the popula
tion will follow the hard-surface and
for tjiat reason the road should
come through Concord instead of
several miles from the city. It was
said that-th<>line should be brought
through this city and if any manu
facturing plants were erected away
from the city that a spur line could
be built out to serve them.
Five mills in Concord are without
railroad side-track facilities jt was
said at the hearing. A map of line
which passed by Concord, was put
j ii as evidence, and showed that it
passed by Roberta .Mill. It lias been
stated that Roberta Mill is ready to
double its capacity if tin- road is
built through Concord and passes by
the mill. The fact that there was a
large territory to the east of Con
cord without any, railroad facilities
was also brought ont ah an argument
to show that the road through Con
cord would he hot’ll a necessity and a
public convenience.
An attorney for the City of Con- ’
cord said this morning that the wit
nesses were trying not only to show
at the hearing that the building of
the road through Concord was a con
venience aud necessity at the pres
ent time but that it was also neces
sary for the future growth and wel
fare of the community.

TOpPLmG SP S iIe OF
LUTHERAN CffURCBf
The Steeple of the Doomed
RuiTding Crashed to the
Ground at 4:58 O’clock on
Friday Afternoon.
Several scores of persons gathered
at the corner of South Union and
Egst Corbin streets Thursday after
nqon to view the toppling of the spire
of the old Saint James Lutheran
church which is being torn away for
a new and modern church.
Many minutes before the steeple
began to bend to its westward fall, a
crowd of spectators had assembled.
Older persons in the crowd amused
themselves and .others, while waiting
for the crash, by talking of the days
when the doomed church was new,
and how the youngsters delighted iu
those bygone days iu climbing to as
the near the top of the steeple as
possible.
The spire toppled from Its position
to the ground at 4:58 o'clock, the
crash resembling an explosion. The
steeple, which was made almost en
tirely of wood, was splintered in the
fall, and the air filled with dust.
Almost by the time the spire shattered
to the ground persons began running
to the church to get "a close up” of
the scene. f
While waiting for the fall of the
steeple, the spectators observed a few
English sparrows fluttering nervously
about the spire. Then from all sides
came expressions rvf sorrow that these
birds would soon lose their old home.
Even u hive of bees had taken up abyde
in the topmost quarters of the steeple,
but were lost in the fall of their
home.
The spire was pulled from its base
by means of a steel cable attached to
n windlass and manned by four men.
The steeple was guided in its fall
by cables manned at the north and
south.

BRITAIN TO VIEW ECLIPSE
Solar Eclipse Will Be Visible in Parts
of England Next Week.
London. June 25.—Preparations for
observing and photographing the solar
eclipse next week are about complete.
The necessary apparatus has been
taken from the Royal Observatory at
Greenwich to Giggleswick. in York
shire. where experts from the observa
tory. headed by Sir Frank Dyson, As
tronomer Royal, will make the official
observations. •
Included in the equipment is a giant
telescopic camera. 45 feet long. This
is the longest photographic instrument
ever used in England to record an
eclipse. A mirror, which is slowly
moved by clockwork to correct the ap
parent movement of the sun. will re
flect the eclipse into the lens during a
time exposure of from 17 to 19 sec
onds.
Early next Wednesday morning the
shadow of the moon will sweep across
England, the North Sea nnd the Scan
dinavian Peninsula. Aud peopTF in
this narrow strip will see the sun’s
disk obscured, while around it will
shine the magnificent corona. That
In, they wilt see it if the weather is
favorable.
But despite the possibility of floor
weather conditions in England, no re
cent astronomical event has attracted
so much fiopular interest. The last
chance that the people of Great Brit
ain had to observe eclipses were, on
May 2, 1715, and May 22, 1724. Both
of these were observed by the great
astronomer Halley, who is kuown lo
-the world, as the discoverer of the
periodic character of Halley's comet.
The eclipse of 1713 was visible from
London and fortunately clear weather
enabled Halley to observe it. Evi
dently he was very much impressed
with the strangeness of the occasion,
for he wrote afterwards of the ‘‘chill
and damp" with which Hie darkness
of the eclipse was attended, and the
"concern that appeared in all sorts
of animals, birds, beasts and fishes
upon the extinction of the sun, since
ourselves could not behold it without
some sense of horror.”
j The eclipse in 1724 was also ob
served by galley, but since then Eng
land has not been favored by an
eclipse until this year. If clouds
.prevent observations rtSxt week, Brit
ish astronomers will have a long wait
lahead of them for the next eclipse,
because it occurs on August 11, 1999.
Thgn it will just touch the southwest
ern tip of Cornwall.

Friday before the members of the
Concord Kiwauis Club at a luncheon
of the t’lub held at Hotel Cnucord,
Cgptain Smith has just recently re
turned after spending a month in the
flood ' districts of Arkansas and he
told of some of the damage doue by
the ffood wqters. The people in the
flooded areas took advantage of every
elevation and every rise of ground
was covered with people with their
household goods piled about them and
cows,ami chickens with them. Captain
■Smith said.
A part of the duties of Captain
Smith was to supply fresh drinking
water for the tpwmcthat were flooded
and he said that in one town it was
necessary to lay 18 miles of fire hose
to supply the people with pure drink
ing-water. ,
A large number of photographs were
shown by Captain Smith and were
passed around by the Club members
and created considerable interest. The
photos showed levee scenes, flooded
farms, rinded cities, refugees on the
levees, a ruined cemetery and other
damage done by the flood waters.
Prior to the address by Captain
Smith, .Mayor C, H. Barrier, read a
letter.from the Arkansas State Health
Officer in which the services rendered
by Captain Smith were highly praised.
Dr, It. M. King, chairman of the
under privileged child committee of
the Club, reported that a child which
was 'Sent to the Urthorpedic Hospital
by the Club was very much improved.
The meeting yesterday was lu
charge of E. B, Grady aud J. P.
