Hicks on February weather

Parson Hicks gives the following
predictions for the remaining part of
February: Venus is on the Goth and
will be felt during storms of this
period, lightning and thunder most
likely. Should very warm days occur,
do not be thrown off your watch
against the cold to follow. Venus is
an extremist, whose electric fire turns
quickly to ice. The 18th and days
touching it are storm days with Venus
still nearer. From 22d to 25th is a
regular storm period. Watch %, "a
and 24tbl Storms Of great energy, if
not cyclonic. are possible. Snow to
the north followed by cold all over.

CONTINUED ONE WEEK.
The Confessor Goes Squarely Back
on His Confession.

InR. n. Smiths court this afternoon
was called the case of VIM. FOy, the
prisoner in the city Jail who confessed
to having burned the Berry block in
1887. Since making the confession
FOy has become scared and has de-
clared that he was drunk when he told
the story and that he can prove that he
was in Ottawa county on the night of
the fire. At today's examination,
however, his witnesses were not ready
and by request the case was continued
until next Saturday at 9 a. m,
1t is geneally believed that the story
told by Foy was more or less fabulous
and that his insinuations against the
proprietors of the block are entirely
false. The number of different stories
he has told throws doubt on all of
them

A Few Rough Notes From john Dusty.
70 De Tobaceo Leaf. chronicle.l

To the Tobacco Leaf Chronicle.
We have been over a good portion
of South Christian and find the farm
ers everywhere as busy as can be,
corn being planted, plowed over and
ground being prepared for tobacco
The corn crop has been about plant
ed. There is considerable complaint
about it not coming up well. The
crop is the largest planted for years.
Wheat is looking very promising,
but great fears are entertained that
the rust will reduce the yield,
as there is some appearance of
it on the wheat and blackberry
bushes but it is the season of the
year for the farmers to get up this
scare. 1t is crop that can never be
counted on until il is in the sack.
The bugs are putting in their usual
work on the tobacco beds. But if
we have seasons the crop of tobacco
will be planted all the same. The
late cold spells, we think, have not
injured the fruit to any extent. APP
Piles would have been scarce if we
had not had the cold spell, as there
were but few trees that had any
blooms so far as my observation
goes. Strawberries are not going to
make much of yield in these parts.
Grapes, we fear, are gone up entire.
ly.
The cold spring / predicted was a
a little slow in coming, but it came
all the same. We may now look for
warm, dry weather, and will be most
fortunate if it does not extend to
drought.
The fair correspondent of the Pro-
gress- Democrat from this place wants
me to explain why there arc 50 many
wasps to annoy the good housewife
and make the men swear. 1t is a
sure indication that fruits will be
much more plentiful this year than
last. Nature is a bountiful provider
for all its creatures if they but EN-
ploy the means that are given. In
sects are great lovers of fruit and you
may expect crop in proportion to
their numbers. Get your fruit cans
in order, for you can certainly fill
them this season with peaches if
with nothing else.
Col. Nesbitt, of Millidgeville, Ga,
is on visit to his sister, Mrs. w. p.

One of Them Captured.

in capturing Raspberry Campbell, one
of the negroes who escaped from the
chain gang two weeks ago He
caught him near st. Elmo, KY, and
brought him here and put him in
Jail. Petway, the detective, who
stole Joe Murphy's pistol,
was with Campbell a few days
ago near st. Elmo, but had left the

He is more than likely at Hopkins

The Eleotoral Collage.

The question of allowing every
congressional district to vote for only
one delegate to the presidential
electoral college, instead of the
whole number for the State, as we
vote for ten in this State, is gaining
public favor, and it is certainly a
reform in the right direction. The
Appeal valanche has the following
sensible remarks on the subject:
"The proposition that every con.
gressional district shall elect its own
presidential elector is gaining in
favor everywhere, and it is not
unlikely that in few years the plan
will generally obtain. The people
want to vote more directly for the
president. One good effect of the
plan would be to put an end to the
doubtful State" business in political
campaigns. The Democrats, for eX
ample, would not feel compelled,
every four years, to look for candi-
dates in New York and Indiana.
Candidates would be chosen with
strict regard to their hold upon the
respect and affection of their fellow
citizens of the whole country. Cam
paigns would be enlivened very
greatly. The boodlers, not being
able to concentrate their energies
upon particular States, would be.
eliminated as political factors. Cam
paigns would te warmer. but elec.
tons would be purer. There would
be less chance Of minority candi
dates securing Office. Michigan is
leading off in the movement, and
other States will surely follow.
Electors on presidential tickets
would, under the plan of congress
sional district representation, be
chosen with especial view to their
fitness as canvassers. The issues OF
the campaign would be brought
home to the people. Party organiza-
tons would be stronger and more ag
gressive, ana when the president was
chosen he could claim that he was
actually the choice of the people. 1t
would be very difficult to predict
results witt any great degree of
accuracy. The gerrymandtring of
States would, of course, become a
fine art, indeed, but the will of the
people would be ascertained with
precision the present method OF elect
ing presidents does not afford. There
seems to hc no reason why the
electoral college should not be con
stituted exactly a~ the national house
of representatives. On the contrary,
there is every reason why it should
be. What is good theory in one IN
stance should b. good in the other"

that line to be proud of, having
turned out some excellent material
to go up higher. See Dick Yancey

Democratic clubs have been organ
lied all over South Carolina. A club
convention has been held, resulting
in harmonizing and uniting all Of
the conflicting elements in the party
and Democrats are all in the harness
and in line for the campaign of '92.
Gov. Tillman, the Alliance leader,
seems to be also in the lead of this
move and has come out in strong
terms against the sub-treasury plan.
He says it "violates the Alliance doc
trines of equal rights to all, special
privileges to none" The situation
is very different in Tennessee; dis
organization prevails and is growing
worse every day, and it will soon be
impossible to get together when the
time comes if this thing goes on.
