HICKS.

PROF. HICKS is out with more
predictions. He says:
Between the 18th and 18th the
whole country will feel the effect OF
very warm wave, and storms of
great violence are to be apprehend-
ed on about the 18th, 10Th, aud
18th. The 18th Is the. central day
of the Venus perturbation, which
lasts with growing power tor about
twenty days after the central day, so
that the Venus characteristics. hail.
startling electrical phenomena, enor-
nous downpours of rain, and sud-
den changes from hot to cold, may
be looked Cor during all the distur>
Dances covered by the Venus period.
The disturbances from the 18th to
18th will not be prolonged by ex-
listing causes into the reactionary
storms due about the 21st and Odd.
BE ready for destructive hail
storms and very sudden changes to
cold. The Goth is the central day
OF the last period for the month,
which period embraces the 25th to
the 18th, inclusive. During this
period it will grow very warm again,
and many storms of rain, nail, and
thunder will travel from the West
to the East across our continent.
After the storms look out for cold
and frost. The month promises to
end very cold, and tornadoes are al
most certain to be feature of the
storms in many places in April"

1T WAS A FAKE.

Last week we published an article
headed Murder Will Out" clear
ing up the MYSTERIOUS disappearance
of Rev A. M. Feltner, purporting
that he had been killed by DR..
Fountenay, who was robbing his
wite's grave, at Clarksville, Tenn.
The GAINESVILLE Tobacco Leaf Chron-
icle says, "the whole thing was a
fake" and further states that Gin
justice to the correspondent" that
1t IS requested to state that the
article was never intended by him to
be used as news matter" "The
whole story is bit of fiction, the
skeleton of a novel"

THE SOUTH, A GREAT COUNTRY.

A British merchant who has been
; travelling through our south land
with the view of learning some
thing Of it, is reported by the Wash>
ington Post as saying:
II cannot say whether | am more
surprised by the vastness of its terri
tory or the practically illimitable
extent of its resources. 1t is as
tonishing TO European, and each of
its aspects is more wonderful than
the other. ! expected to find a
country still governediby old ideas
old manners, and old customs, still
suffering With the slcthful lite &c the
past and still showing the alumbrous
characteristics of land where slaves
are owned. | never saw a more en-
terprising set of people, and they all
seem to want to make money as fast
as possible. Smoke is pouring from
the chimneys OF the factories, and
the Whir of machinery is more no.
ticeable than the signing Of the
breeze in the magnolias. They tell
me that all of this has come about
within the last twenty years and
that northern capital has done it.
Ii SO, it is the best possible evidence
that your war is ended. Still the
South is not more than one tenth de-
veloped. What it will be in fifty
years hence the mind OF man cannot
conceive. | am travelling simply for
pleasure, and have not the remotest
intention of writing book, but |
have been profoundly impressed for
America"

HON, W. Y. ATKINSON.

The Constitution in an editorial
speaks of of the service that this dis
tinguished gentleman has performed
tor the democratic party and states
that he is entitled to recognition at
the hands of the administration. Mr..
Atkinson is not an applicant for
office, but no man in Georgia did
more to aid the cause of democracy
than Mr.. Atkinson, in the last cam
paign. We shall never forget the
gallant speeches he and Col. Lewis
made in Cobb. Bill Atkinson gave
much of hislvaluable time to the
cause of the democracy. He has a
host of friends in thus section of
Georgia who would be glad to see
honors heaped upon him.

SOUTHERN INDUSTRIES.

There has been impression thai
the development Of Southern indus,
tries has abated considerably, but
the figures furnished by the Chatta
nooga Tradesman show that there
has been a substantial increase in
many of them over the correspond
ing period last year.
For the first quarter of 1898 there
have been rs new cotton and wool
len mills established in the South
ern States, a number Of -four, grist
aud oil mills, while 1876 new wood
working plants have been put in
operation.
Within the past two years the
mountain region of western North
Carolina, eastern Tennessee, south
west Virginia and West Virginia
have been penetrated by new
ranches of railroads, which have
not only brought richly laden
timber district within reach, but
have opened up the inexhaustible
supplies of iron and coal, the latter
of which appears from various anal
Uses to be the best coking coal yet
discovered on this continent.
1t is expected that there will be a
revival of the movement. which was
so active two years ago for the de.
velopment of this section, but which
was unfortunately in a great meas
ure suddenly suspendened by the
financial disturbance.

SIMON FRANK and his wife, while
crossing railway track together in
New York, were struck by an en-
CINE. The death of each followed
Immediately. Whether both expired
at the same instant, or whether the
breath left one body a second before
the other, are questions of interest
in a surrogate's court. The mans
life was insured tor $4,000, the polls
ey being made in favor of his wife.
If the wite's heirs can prove that
the husband died first, even by a
second, they will get the insurance.
On the other hand, If the husband :
heirs can prove that the wife died
first, leaving the husband a w;dower
for one seconds duration, then they
will get the money. The burden Of
proof lies with the husbands heirs,
and they are hustling to furnish it.

NEITHER comfort nor real ele>
gance is aimed at in the efforts of
many fashionable people. The
great desideratum is to attract at
tentioL, to be stared at and if posi-
BILE to be talked Gbout. It's mere
ly phase of vanity. 1t is ostenta-
tiousness. The men and women
who have more serious and worthy
methods of utilizing their energies
and of making their way in the
world do not try to become famous
or notable through their cloths or
their manners. But there are so
many people who have no other
means of being somebody, no other
way to delude themselves With the
notion that they amount to some~
thing, that we find dudism becoming
almost a craze in America.

THE huge boaconstrictor at the

MISUNDERSTANDING
A Thousand Men Fight Flames
to Save Ashland.
BUT MANY HOUSES ARE BURNED.
Two Hundred square Miles OF Pine
ss, but IL Must Be Large.

ASHLAND. Wis. Sept 17-This has been
an exciting day for Ashland At noon
the people were called from worship by
fire alarms, and einders and smoke be-
came almost binding. Over Loo volun-
teers were added 10 the fire department 20
fight the flames, which rushed in on the
city from the 0danah Indian reservation.
At O'Clock there ives a cry of despair
among the people living near the Milwau-
kee, Lake Shore * Western railroad shops.
The water works had given ont. Chemical
engines were brought up. but it was use
less to try to stop the flames, as
high gale of wind was blowing. The loal
at the shops caught fire, and dead loco
motives were fred up to run all the roll
ing stock TO the lake. Household goods
were burned and over 100 families are al
ready homeless. Twenty men were over
come in fighting the flames and taken to
hospital Three families near Marengo
persisted. There was no help to go to them.
At Parishyille large iron plant is burn
ing. A large number of women and chill
dren who rushed TO the lake front were
only saved by desperate effort with pa
troll wagons.
The fire is the same that has been raging
part did not reach here until today. Set
tiers arriving have pitifuI stories 10 tell
and are being cared for by those who still
have houses. A man named Egstrom was
driven crazy By the loss of his wife and
two children. His hair and eyelashes and
clothes were burned from his body when
discovered. As nearly as can be estimated
the ire now covers nearly 200 square

to standing pine will be very heavy and
approximates not less than S, 900, 900.
A woman and baby. supposed to be the
wife and child OF a settler. were picked up
in an insensibie condition tonight near
the White river road. The child died soon
after arriving here. The mother is IN de-
lirium, and it is supposed her husband
persisted. At the 0danah reservation the
Indians are camping on raft in Bad
river and are hemmed in with an archway
of flames. All communication was cut oil
from the surrounding small towns today.
1t is impossible to give details of today's
hoioeausts and losses, but If rain does not
come tonight the death list viii run up
high.
There are a number of small towns and
villages through the burned section that
may share in the disaster - Marengo,
White River, High Bridge and numerous
others If the path of the flames took in
such settlements, woe and death has
surely been left in its wake. ParishviIle,
which is reported on fire tonight, is COM
posed of about 100 buildings in addition to
the big plant of the Parish Manufactur-
ing Company. employed in the making of
mining and sawmill machinery. In Ash
land itself there is no immediate danger of
a general confsgration unless cyclone or
whirlwind of fire should sweep the city
of the face of the earth.

Customs OMeers In Vain Pursue . Cargo
of ChfuRmen.

The inability of the custom HOUSE, and
Chinese inspectors 20 cope with the SNUG
giers under the present state OF affairs was
well illustrated few nights ago. when
they attempted to capture cargo OF con-
traband Chinese that was brought over
from Victoria in one of the swift little
craft that 80 often poke fun ut Uncle Sans
attempts to spoil their business.
The officials at this port received news
late one evening that load of Cinnamon
would be landed at q certain point on
WILDLY island at certain hour. The
information came so direct that its truth
could not be doubted. With all haste In
spector John j. Burns, Chinese Inspectors
Meredith and Schuyler and others secured
a tug and started for the rendezvous. The
engineer and captain were as anxious 20
have the trip success as the officers, and
the boat was pushed for all she was
worth. The distance was travelled at
fair rate of speed. but not fast enough to
make the connection. One hour before
the boat with the contrabands had been
there. At Everett next day the supposed
smuggler lay quietly at the wharf. but all
evidence had disappeared. The officials
have been keeping the trip secret.

YELLOW FEVER EPIDEMIC.
Eleven New Cases at Brunswick. Ga
The Inhabitants Fleeing.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Sept IA special to
the Morning News from Brunswick tonight
says: There were eleven new cases of yell
low fever today. and an epidemic has
been declared. Such was the announce
ment made by Col. Goodyear at the board
of health meeting today, sending thrill
of horror through the grief-stricken resi-
dents of Brunswick present. With heart
breaking sorrow hundreds hurriedly
rushed to the trains this afternoon, and IL
will need no military force TO depopnlate
the city. There are poor in Brunswick for
whom the government and the people of
the country must think.
Work will be commenced on hospital
buildings tomorrow. During the hurry
and hustle of leaving today many nailed
up stores and then fled. The change i'm
the weather is unfavorable, and the worst
may be expected.
