GREAT EVENr MONDAY MORNING Eclipse of lhe Sun the Absorb ing Topic MR. VON HERRMANN'S PREPARATIONS Have n Erly Breakfast to That You May Watch the Advent of iht Great Phenomina Totality at 8:49. linlcigh people should rise early on Monday .morning to observe the ac tions of the sun. the occasion 'of n to tal eclipse, coming only once in a life. time, and this time favoring Ral eigh as one of .the best localities in the. world as a viewing point. The observations by the various scientific departments of the government-will begin at o'clock A. M., and will continue for some time lif ter the. sun has left this city in a state of darkness; ..tiizens generally will be ready to see the first move ment, behind the. shadow, many lial eighites having already made prepara tions for viewing the, obscuration in superior ways. The Graded Schools of the city will not open until ten o'clock on '.Mon day. -morning as the .darkness will come just at the time thnt. the little ones would be on their way to school. Later in the day they will be told of the importance of tlu- occasion and the. eclipse will he explained thor oughly by the teachers. Throughout the entire State the eclipse will be seen fo some extent, but-only iu a certain line, on which Itaieigh is fortunately located, will the obscuration be. total. The only telescope in this city to be put' t,i practical use on MonWav'is the prop erty of Col. A. W. Shaffer, and is sit uated in the observatory built by him several years ago. " .K. Never before in this - country has an eclipse been so favorably ' located. W hoever of the gods at his command Apollo has 'appointed to look after this temporary obscuring of his glori ous face has shown himself a believer in the "greatest good to the grentest number" theory, ami Sol will do his "black-face" .stunt in the presence of one of the largest arid mos intelligent, multitude)!, ever present nt ' any one performance. track of the totality begiron the' Pacific Ocean, just west, of Mexi co, at- sunrise, trends due eastward over Mexico, enters the I'nitied States very near New Orleans, extends northeastward over Mobile and .Mont gomery, near - Atlanta, over'- Ualeigh, and leaves this country in the region of Norfolk and Cape ilenrv. It then crosses the Atlantic Ocean 'mid touch es Kuropo at Corimba, Portugal, takes in Algiers and Northern Africa" and terminates near the fled Sea at sun set. '..:'' . : iv.,, . ' . ':.!: The eclipse may, therefore, bp ob served in the I'nited States from 7:20 to 0 o'clock (local mean' time) in the morning, and, in Spnin and Africa-after 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The I'nited States Naval Observa tory stafl has erected two stations one in North Carolina and the il hr in Georgi.a. Each' of these will be manned by a party of. ten 'or-twelve, consisting of .astronomers and scien tists' from the Observatory, niul : few favored outsiders. The fortunate location of the eclipse permits these expeditions to be con ducted on the --economical plan, and explains the lndicroiislv small appro priation of $.5,000 asked of Congress for the purpose. The convenience and accessibility of the stations ex plains why such a small -amount in proportion -..to that given in former times will be productive of such suc cessful results if the weather is pro pitious. An interview witli Professor P.rown of tlu Weather Iturenii. is conducive of great encouragement to lhe ama teur photographer who is hankering after a snap. shot. : y Prof. Ilrown advises naked eve Ob servations, and appropos of ' this, speaks regretfully of his experience in the Caroline Islands, where he went to witness the solar eclipse of iss.l. '.-. . - 1 "I got a thorough and a satisfacto ry view of the eclipse ifself," he said, "but by keeping my eyes glued to the spectroscope all through the time of totality, 1 lost the effect on the world about me. which is no small pat": of the spectacle. I assure you. The heavy pall of darkness , settles over the earth with an uncanny sudden ness; birds seek their nests uttering strange, lineasy cries: cuttle nrt homeward; dew falls, and before vou have time to more than realize that what at first seems nn impenetinble blackness is a weird green shadow, it is gone, and you rub your eyes, and wonder if. you haven't just awakened from some strange dream." ' Prof. Hurnhnm. of ( hicago. also ap proves of and advises observation made without use of the telescope. One being approached by a fcllow astrouomer of lesser magnitude with a request for advice as to the best in struments to use for observations of the coming eclipse. Prof Kurhnm re plied promptly: "I'se the most valu able instrument God ever gave you your eyes. , Watch the effect of the strange phenomena on nature, and learn a leason in her laws that you'll never forget, air, never forget.'' ' MR. VOX HERUM ANN'S TAUT. Wenther Observer V on Herrmann and his force at the Wenther Kure.-ui are preparing for the event, though their observations will be on an en tirely different line from tbos.j made by other star gazers. Speaking of the. part, the Weather Bureau will lake when the sun conceals its face, Mr. Von Herrmann said: "The Weather liurcuu has nothing to do witli the astronomical feature of the eclipse. What We do wi:.l be to. tukc a- regular series of lneteyrotogi I cal observations, bcgi'nntntr at 6 a. m. and lasting until noon. These -observations will be made at intervals of fifteen minutes. These observations will consist in . ascertaining the changCH.in the pressure, temp.1::: 'lire, ' direction and velocity of the wind, humidity and cloudiness caiineu by the eclipse, if there are any such." - (Continued on 4th page.) LAND CASE BEFORE JUDGE PURNELL ' 'Judge Purnell is today hearing the important -case of the East Const Ce dar Company and others against Hank of lluffaloe. N. Y.

Avdlett. of Elizabeth City, and the defendant bv Mr. Norris Alorev. of Huffaloe, N. Y.. and Mr. W. I). Pruden, of Edcn ton. APPROVED BY EX-SUPT. RAY. Thinks ,the County Commissioners ought to Use Convicts. Ediiors of Times-Visitor: The county officials have been criticized ag reat deal for having the county con victs to do mechanic's work on public luillngs, etc. I want to say that I have once been a county official and 1 always approved of the county convicts doing ony and all the public work they were competent to do, and I believe all other intelligent county officials who have the interest of the county at heart will ap prove the same. I believe that convicts ought to be used to the best advantage so far as county work is concerned, but. I do not believe they ought to be used in competition with free labor in any re spect. As all intelligent voters know our county is in debt, and the way to get : her out of debt is to have every thing in the way of county improvements done as cheap as possible, and then we will com plain at our taxes, and then say the county officials are extravagant and have not the interest of the county at heart. Taxpayers don't complain at right, C. B. RAT. A FORTUNATE YOUNG MAN. Mr. Eugene Phelps, who portray tut leading Juvenile parts with Rentfrow's .lolly Pathfinders.
