JOHN ]. JACOB,
Bv the Governor:
G.. HEDRICK, Sec'y of State.
We have heard Mr. Jacob "n0rotc'
before, but he IS so unreliable that
we mast really require further evil
lence before we can believe that the
Capitol is at Wheeling.
Mr.. Jacob. said he was going to
move his books and papers there, but
he dill not do it. He said he would
let Judge Smith see that he would
disregard his injunction &c, &c s.,
but the injunction still stands and all
the government archives are at
Charleston.
Mr.. Jacob does not set a very good
example to the people Of the State in
the matter of respect to the courts
Perhaps if any one follows his exam
pie and s'brcts" against the Court
until he gets into jail, the Governor
will pardon him, in the exercise OF
his prerOgatiye. He ought to, for it
the chief magistrate may trample on
the laws with IMMUNITY. the people
should have the same privilege.

The CoLD SUMNER OF lSl6.-An
old friend in Lincoln County, Mr..
Thomas Hawkins, sends US an &c
count of the coll summer Of 1916,
which he found amongst his papers.
Mr.. Hawkins will be 81 years old
next Friday, and remembers the sea
son very well.
Ihave gathered for your readers
some reliable facts of the year 1916,
known as the year without'a sum
mer.' Few persons now living can
recollect it but it was the coolest
ever known throughout Europe and
America. The following is briet
abstract OF the weather during the
year:
January was mild-so much so rs
to render fires almost needless in par
lorS. December previous was very
cold.
February was not very cold; with
the exception of a tew days it was
mild like its predecessor.
March was cold and boisterous du>
ring the first part of it; the remain
der was mild. A great freshet on the
Ohio and Kentucky rivers caused a
great loss ofproperty.
April began warm. but grew colder
rs the month advanced, aud ended in
snow and ice, with a temperature
more like winter than Spring.
Nav was more remarkable for
frowus than smiles. Buds and flow
ers were frozen, ice formed half an
inch thick, corn was killed, and the
fields were again and again replant-
cd until deemed too lat,.
June WAS the coolest ever known
in this latitude. Frost, ice and snow
were common. Almost every green
thing was killed. Fruit was nearly
all DESTROYED. Snow fell to the
depth of ten inches in Vermont, sew
eral in Maine aud three in Central
New York and also in Massachusetts.
Considerable damage was done at
New Orleans in consequence of the
rapid rise in the river; the suburbs
we're covered with water, and the
roads we're only passable in boats.
Jnly was accompanied by frost
and ice. Ga the fifth, ice was form
ell OF the thickness of common glass,
throughout New England, New
York and some parts Of Pennsylva
MIA. Indian corn was nearly all de-
>troyed; some favorably situated
fields escaped. This was true of
some of the hill farms Of MaSsachu-
sets.
August was more cherries, if pos
sible. than the summer months already
passed. Ice was formed half an inch
thick. Indian Corn was 50 frozen
that the greater part was cut down
and dried for fodder. Almost every>
thing was destroyed both in this coun-
try and in Europe. Papers received
from England stated that it would be
remembered BY the present genera

in which there was no summer. very
little corn ripened in New England
and middle States. Farmers sup
piled themselves from the corn pro-
duced in 1917. 1t sold at from four
to FIVE dollars per bushel.
September furnished about two
weeks of the mildesi weather or the
season. Soon after the middle it be-
came very cold and frosty and ice
formed quarter of an inch thick.
October produced more than its
share of cold weather, frost and Ice
particularly.
! November was cold and clustering.
Enough snow fell to make very good
sleighing.
December was quite mild and com
Portable.
The above is brief summary Of
"the cold summer of 1916" as it was
called in order to distinguish it from
the cold season. The winter was
mild. Frost and ice was common IN
every month of the year. Very lit
tie vegetation matured in the east
ern and middle States. The sun;
rays seemed to be destitute OF heat
through the summer; all nature
sa.,,sd IN no clad in a sable hue, and
men exhibited no little anxiety con
corning the future OF this life The av
erage wholesale price of flour during
that year in the Philadelphia market
was thirteen dollars per barrel. The
average price of wheat in England
was thirty-seven shilhngs per quar-
tern.

Public EduoaJion-

Oae Of the most important inter
c>ts in 4 free country, is that Of elu
cation. 1t NAV be called, all-impor-
amt, for there can be no permanent
free government without the educd,
ton of the masses 1t is especially
necessary in this State, thar the in
t-rcsts of education should be foster
ed not only as relating to the in
triusic welfare Of the State, but re
lstively.
The enterprises of the State are
such that they cannot be developed
without the investment of foreign
capital. Those States from which
that capital must come, enjoy tho
roughly organized and effective sys-
tens of public education. is very
important, that an equally thorough
system should be in practice here, if
j, isexpected that parties from abroad
will come here and invest their means.
Men would be very 10th TO bring
their families to a State where they
would be required either to allow
them to grow up in ignorance, or pay
large bills for teachers. Consequent
~ the free school system Of the State
should be perfected as rapidly As
possible until it can be said "the Free
shoots of West Virginia, are equal
to those Of any other State in the
Union"
Another important consideration,
is the bearing of education on the
economies of State. The absence
ofeducatiou is equivalent to the pre-
valence of crime. II IS much better
10 pay a tax for the maintenance OF
schools. than for the maintenance OF
psupers AMI criminals. We know
capitalist who was nonresident
az the State in which he was paving
lis sehssl tax. who said "he paid his
school tax more willingly than any
other; that he considered it per-
maneut investment for the benefit Of
his property
Il is just 50; the school tax is one
Of the most important, aud should I've
Paid quite as cheerfuliy As any other
that is levied.
Not only should the tar be paid
but the people should take person
al enterest in the welfare Of the
schools, showing BY their presence at
examinations, their attention to the
studies of their children and their
moral supper, and assistance Of the
teachers, that they are in hearty nc
cordance with the work.
1t will be seen by 4 notice in our
local columns that the examinations
Of the Public schools OF Huntington
will take place on next Thursday and
Friday, 10Th and 18th inst. The
Board OF Education of the City Will
feel much. grati6ed, as well as the
teachers, if there can be large at
tendance of the friends and parents
of the pupils 1t will at least show
that their efforts arc appreciated, and
that an interest is felt in the progress
Of the children.
