John II. Tice, the weather prophet of St,
Louis, gives the following directions to those
who aspire to be weatherwise
As everybody is interested in the weather,
so each one should qualify himself or herself
to read the sky and 20 interpret tho meaning
of the winds, sky and cIouj'.
An intensely blue and serene sky indicates
heavy rains and severe storms in from twelve
to forty eight hours. A grsy, lazy sky indi-
Gates CONTINUOUS dry ana generally hot
weather.
a southwest wind indicates the existence
OF low barometer, if not storm centre in
the northwest, The aspect of the sky and
clouds will tell whether it means mischief or
not. An almost immediate cessation of rain
may be expected as soon as the northwest
wind sets in; fair will Cnsue after il and con-
tlnue from three to four days. The passage
OF st I'm centre from tho gulf and south
eastward ofour locality is y partial exception
only SO far that il clears off more tard,ly.
There ARE really nut two primary kinds cf
Clouds namely: First, tuo,e that are At a
great height above the tarth's surface. and
second, those that float low. Those that
a
float high, say from six to nine miles, are of
a iibrous and gNuzy structure; they are
hence called. cirrus, that is, hair or tuft
clouds. The clouds that form in the lower
strata OF the atmosphere, say from one to
three miles above the earth, are irregular in
structure, and are of more or less modular
form. They are called the cumulus, the
heap or pile clouds.
While the cirrus remains nebular in struct.
ure and is distinctly defined against the ,ky,
rain need be expected. Under the low
barometer, however, they develop by accre-
ton, become smooth and compact in struct.
ure and much enlarged in volume. They
now sink lower and become sharply defined
against the blue sky Rain may now be ex-
pected, especially if they unite with the
cunulus, forming the nimbus or rain cloud,
If the cirrus, instead of forming the nimbus
rescends, it disspstes and no rain need be-
expected until it lowers again, which gen.
erSlly is in twenty-four hours.

KINGS MOUNTAIN.
Prepare lions for the Celebration of
the Centennial of the Battle that
Decided the Revolution.

Atlanta, Sept. 15.-The Kings Mountain
centennial will be held at Kings Mountain
on the line of the Atlanta &; hrlotte Air
line railway, on the line between North and
South Carolina, two hundred and thirty
miles northeast Of Atlanta, Ca, and thirty
three miles west of Charlotte, North Caro-
lima, commencing October 9th and ending
October 9Th. Preparations are being made
to make this grand occasion, when thous-
ands Of people from Maine to Florida will
visit this famous locality. That battle,
which was fought nearly one hundred years
ago, was the turning point in the great
struggle which gave freedom TO the Ameri-
can colonies.
1t occurred at time when The people and
army had become almost di pirited from re-
peated defeats, end no event in the history OF
the revolution did more to arouse the spirits
of the frontiers than did this battle. The vic
tory wa, gained by the brave and hardy
mountaineers from Tennessee and the Caro-
| Inns, who fought the trained suldiery Of
England under Fergu.on
| Ferguson fell his Amy was destroyed and
thrill Of hope fl'e the American hearts.
The droopmg spirits Of the soldiers were
aroused, reinforeomouts Aocked to the
standard of liberty, and few more months
decided the contest.
1t is eminently appropriate that the one
huadredh anniversary Of this event should
be celebrated in manner beGtting the i'm
pOrtant event.
On the Dist of October the preliminaries
will be inaugurated by the unfurling of a
magnificent American flag from the peak OF
Kings mountain. This will be under the
auspices Of The Air Line railroad and it is
expected that thousands Of people will be
present from Atlanta and a points along the
Airline road, and from the Carolinas. Col
onel Tom. Hardeman, Of Macon, will deliver
tho orNtion.

late Mayor j. NJ. Taurmond had stated to
one OF that papers reporters that there was
| bulldozing in the election. He had taken
care to select two Good mon and two Thur.
mond men to assist him. AS to intimidation
being used hO repudiated it with scorn and
indignation,
The committee having examined the re-
turns, reported rs follows:
To the CITY Council
Your committee appointed to open the re-
turns Of the election for mayor after due ex-
animation Of the same, find j. j Good re.
ceived | 100 votes, and that j. NJ. Thurmond
received 6S2 votes. j. j. Good having re-

The law should be his guide. There were
enterprises, important ones, that Dallas
should foster. He had been unexpectedly
called upon to make the race, and having been
elected no would strive for the
public good. There had been, in
his opinion, many false reports
circulated both against the city council as
well as Judge Thurmond. He was willing
and ready at all times to work for the public
good, and would strive for what he conceived
to be the best interests of the city.
Hto secretary read the resignation of
Alderman Tillmsn, action on which was
postponed until the next regular meeting.

James Thompson shoots md hilis
hob Hooper The Effect Of
an Old Feud.

Tue,day morning there was bloody
tragedy enscted in the neighborhood OF
Bots d'Arc island, on the Kaufman and Dali
las county lines, to which Bob Harper and
James Thompson were the characters, the
former losing his life at tho bands OF the
latter who shot him to death. For sometime
past there has been ill.fee!ings existing be-
tween the two, which grew out of Thompson
capturing in last February horse, the prop
oriy of Mr.. Love, of this county, from
Hooper, IN whose possession he found the
animal Hooper claimed that he had come
by the horse through honest means, but the
animal was proven and turned over to lie
rlghtful owner. Ever since that time bad
blood has existed between the two men, at
least, so far rs Hooper is concerned, who did
not bear very good character, and it culmi'
mated Tuesday in the death
of Hooper,, who made violent
sAult upon Thompson, who WAS NJ the
time nj his own home, Entering the yard on
he morning mentioned, Hooper drew :
large knife from his breast and made Al
Thompson, who jumped aside, partially os
Gaping the thrust, which cut his coat and
hirt, thus saving his life. Before Hooper
could .ollow up the attack Thompson sprang
into tho house, and gettinga shotgun fired
both arrcIs oade with bucks, OF, to Hoop
ars breast killing him instantly. Thompsou
loft at once for Terrell, where he gave himself
up TO Sheriff Wilson of that county.
The citizens Of that section are inclined to
oxculpate Thompson oGall blame, rs Hooper
bore bad character.

A Negro shot.

Columbus, Mo-, Sept. l4.-About II
o'clock last night an alteration took place
between negro named Archie Smith and
Burt Newman, white man, which resulted
in Newman being shot in the right arm, near
the shoulder. 1t seems the Negro aimed at
his heart, and had the arm not been in the way
instant death would have resulted, but luck
lily for Newman, his arm was the means of
saving his life. Smith was promptly arrested
and lodged in Jail, and is now awaiting pre-.
liminary examination.
