The Weather Elsewhere.

This section and State have by no means
had monopoly OF the weather. Mr. Ven.
nor said there would BIZ sleighing from
Montreal to Washington on New Years
Day. and Mr.. Vennor was about right. fol
the storm that robed our own fair valley IN
its snowy fleece, spread far and near. and
the intense Brightness that succeeded, was
equally as impartial. Railroad trains bsve
been lost in the snowdrifts. the capa1 boats
were frozen up, steamers have gone into
winter quarters. and vessels are seeking the
harbor shelter. From al quarters reports
have come from the snow storm and cold
weather. and the record they present is an
unusual one.
In Richmond the mercury reached eight
degrees below zero, and in exposed parts OF
the city it went down as low as fourteen
degrees. At Danville the lowest range was
twelve below zero, and at Petersburg it
was ten. Even down in the far South the
weather was intensely cold. At Columbus.
Ca, the thermometer indicated four de-
grees below zero, aud in the Alabama hills
it marked zero. In Louisville it was seven
degrees below zero, and ut Sherman, Texas
five below. In Florida, at Jacksonville, the
mercury was nineteen degrees above zero,
the coolest weather ever experienced in
that climate. The oranges were frozen on
the trees, and it Is feared the crop has been
materially injured, much Of it not having
been gathered.
At the North the storm was furious and
the weather bitter celd: At various points
in New York State, the thermometers
ranged from seven to twenty five degrees
below zero, with brisk wind blowing and
the dry snow flying in every direction. In
Pennsylvania the mercury ranged from
eight to thirty degrees below zero. And
in the far Northwest forty-five degrees be-
low zero was reached.
It. has been one OF the most remarkable
seasons for years. and will long be remem-
bered. .

We take the following from the RicI,mon,
State, of the 4th A similar provision il, o,r
constitution, instead Of the restriction nno,,
suffrage would remove a great source of had
feeling and race antagonism, and I've nrono.
tive of the peace and harmony of the Cam
monwealth. There would be no difficulty in
the legislature enacting a law that would more
effectually replenish the school fund from the
capitation tax than is done by the present con-
stitution, which makes the prepayment of the
poll tax necessary precedent to the exercise
OF the right of suffrage. By so doing it will
not only remove source of bad feeling, but Of
gross and widespread corruption, and in every
way be better for the people and the State. We
hope our able contemporary will favor such
change, and urge the repeal of the present con-
stitutional provision and the substitution of a
law in accord with that of Louisiana The
State says:
Louisiana has adopted very effective plan
in her new constitution to insure the collec-
ton of the poll-tax without making its paw
ment prerequisite qualification for voting,
against which her people have always rebelled'
The New Orleans Item explains il as follows !:
"The poll-tax is levied equally upon all male
| inhabitants over twenty-one, and is payable on
and after January 1st each year. 1t is lien
on all property of the taxpayer for the year,
follows the property Notwithstanding trans
| fers. and cannot be prescribed 1t may be col
ected by distraint, without suit, after ten days
notice"
Employers are responsible for the tax of
those they employ, provided the service has
been for ninety days during the year tor
which the tax is due. The property of en-
ployer or employee, in case of nonpayment of
the tax, may be seized and after ten days
advertisement, sold to pay the tax and costs.
The tax is never to be less than one dol
lar nor more than one dollar and half per
head, and is devoted to the maintenance of
the public schools.
They have always had the poll-tax in that
State, but it was never collected from any,
but property owners, who were assessed so
many polls on their property.

SENATOR G. T. SMITHS HOME RECORD
A copy of the Abingdon Vsryinsan has been
sent to this office, containing an account of
the meeting between Senator G. T. Smith and
Col. Abram Fulkerson, and an editorial in
which the editor refuses to meet Senator
Smith at Bristol, Tennessee, on the ground
that Senator Smith is not gentleman
We are not the champion of Senator Smith,
or any other man. But we can say that Sena-
tor G. I. Smith has been before the people of
fifteen years, and that in SO far as his private.
personal or moral character is concerned
there is not stain or even blemish upon it.
Certainly there is not man in this county
who would refuse to meet Mr. Smith on the
ground that he is not a gentleman.-Nelso
