cold season that has been record
ed since accurate observations
were begunby the signal service,
70 years ago. This fact has Civ
en- rise, in many minds, to the
question whether the climate is
changing.
Professor H. A. Hazen of the
United States weather bureau
discussed the question in an adle
article in the Engineering Mag
azine in which he says:
From the 4th to the Doth of
January the temperature in
Washington city was 18 degrees
below the normal, and the max
imum, which on the average goes
below freezing but three times,
went above it but once, and then
to only "a degrees, during the
same time, at Bismarck, N. D.,
the temperature was 5 degrees
above the normal. Thus the
Washington temperature relative
to that at Bismarck. was % de-
grees lower than usual. Many
hold to the theory that our cold
comes from the extreme north.
west. but this could hardly have
been true in the case quoted. A
singular fact is that usually
storms going to the northward
draw in the warm south wind
and heat up the air, but that
condition has apparently had
the opposit effect this year, and
this is due the southwark trend
of the high areas, which has Civ
en- an abnormal cold season to
the south and cold south winds
to the north.
1t is probable that our upper
atmosphere has been greatly
cooled to enormous heights.
January and February, 1876,
were the coldest months expert
enced on Mt. Washington (6,3OO
feet high), and they were also
the coldest months at Burlington
Vt, near the base of the noun
tain. There has been no extern
sive and intense cold wave this
season as we have had in one or
two years before, but there has
been a steady cold, The high
areas and storms have heed very
great velocity, and it seems rea-
sonable to conclude that this has
tended to prevent a heating from
convection currents set up at the
earth's surface. and also the rap
id nation has set up vortices
which have caused a string up
of the warmer lower air with the
colder above. 1t is the general
opinion that of late our winters
have greatly moderated, though
some believe to the contrary,
The records do not show any
very great change, the average
temperature in 10-year periods
having remained constant. We
are more likely to remember the
great blizzard of March, 1888,
than the great warmth of 1880.
Some have thought that the
rainfall of our western country
has gradually increased since it's
settlement was begun. Fine
crops now grow where it is
thought that none could have
been produced 80 years ago. In
this case, however, it seems more
than probable that the rainfall
has been kept in the groud by the
tilling of the soil, instead of run
ming off at once to the rivers;
also, that the growth of the plant
has kept the air more humid,
which has been favorable to veg
itation The opinion has been
exercised that the building up of
blocks and the great quantity of
heat from chimneys in large cit
res must moderate the cold. 1t
is evident that the winds would
be much broken up in a large
city but it is not probable that
e well-exposed Thermometer
would show aay. appfeciable
difference between she city and

The United States Senate is still dis
cussing the silver question. The Pres
ident should have convened the extra
ordinary session some three months
before he did, so as to have given plenty
Of time for discussion. One Senator
made speech fourteen hours long and
Senator Stewart wants about six weeks
in which to make his speech. There
should be plenty of time given to dis
cussion. If there is any relief to be
given ito the country there is no need
to hurry about that. Plenty of time
must be given the Senate to discuss
the question. This august body needs
light on the subject and time must be
had for discussion. It is folly to hurry
up the matter. The country may suffer.
We may be rid Of all our cotton, but
the Senate must have time for discus
sion. Who said anything about vote
as long as the question was to be dis
cussed? It is nonsense. Let the
Senators talk. There must be time

CONGRESSMAN Latimer has q whole
chspter Lamentations on the question
of patronage. We thought that long
ago our distinguished Representative
had announced that he would not ask
the present administration for anything
and would stand back on his dignity.
Il looks now as if be was wearing cut
lot of shoe leather and wasting good
deal of energy and time in visiting the
departments. And then people have
been writing vile and slanderous letters
about him and trying to injare his IN
f,uence. He should tell US who are
these persons who have been writing
these slsnderous letters.
The Herald and News stated some
time ago that if Mr.. Bissell bad come
to the broad conclusion that because a
man belonged to the Alliance that
therefore he was Populist, that Mr..
Bissell was mistaken. Some Alliance
men are good Democrats.
But if Mr.. Rissell should refuse to re-
cognize Mr.. Latimer and his recon-
nendations he would be doing just as
Mr., Latimer's faction in South Carolina
has treated those who did not agree
with it. Support after the nomination
did no good. An anti-Tillmanite be-
fore the nomination receives 10 consid-
Grafton, it matters not how earnestly
he supported the ticket after it was
nominated. But Mr.. Latimer does
not seem to believe in the golden rule.
It makes great difference whose OK is
gored.

JUDGE GARY FALLS INTO LINE. q
His Bonor 0uashes an Indictment Uuder
the Dispensary act.
lSpecial to The State.

LANCASTER, S. c., Oct, 19.-The
case of the State vs.. Samuel ID. Car
ter for selling liquor without license
was called for trial in the Court OF Gen.
eral Sessions this morning. There were
two counts in the indictment-one for
selling one quart of liquor without a
license, and the other for bringing flve
gallons of liquor into the State with
intent to sell the same.
On the call of the case Ernest Moore,
of counsel for the defendant, moved to
.ouash the first count in the Indictment,
on the ground that the act, commonly
known as the dispensary act, is new
statute, intended to embrace tue whole
law regulating the sale of liquor il the
State, and that it repeals all acts IN
consistent with it, but provides no
penalty for single sale ofliquor, or for
retailing liquor, as alleged in the first
count in the Indictment.
Mr.. Moore elaborated this point.
After argument by Solicitor Housh,
Judge Gary 6 'anted the motion to
ouash the Indictment, and in 80 doing,
remarked that section Of the dispen-
sary act does regulate the matter of the
sale of liquors, and that the act is
defective, in that it provides no penalty
for retailing, and that this defect is not
remedied by any previous act or acts:
The trial of the case on the second
count in theindictment was continued,
on motion of the solicitor. The defen-
dant was admitted % bail by Judge
Gary in the sum $500. The bond was
promptly given, and the defendant has
gone on his way rejoicing to his North
Carolina home. This will likely be the
end of the case.
Judge Gary did not hesitate to grant
the order quashing the indictment as
to its first count. His opinion was de-
livered orally, from the bench, at the
conclusion of the argument.

DIsPENsARY OR NO DISPENSARY.
That Petition for Dispensary' at Whit
mires-Will the Charter be Amended?
Likely joke

To the Editor of The Herald and
News: Mr.. George benson, who resides
in the neighborhood of the little town
of Whitmires, S. c., which was lncor-
porated by the Legislature in 1881, l
understand is circulating q petition
setting forth the importance Of having
the charter changed by the next Legis-
lature in order that he may establish 3
dispensary at Whitmires. If any one
in authority has encouraged Mr.. Den
son in his undertaking, I want to ask:
Is that compromise with prohibition?
If it is, would advise the prohibition
lists to withdraw from the trade, for
they certainly will come out at the ht-
tie end of the horn. 7 have nothing to
saw against dispensaries as substitute
for bar rooms, but the people of Whi>-
.mires are not willing to have dispen-
sary as substitute for prohibition.
Whitmires has never had bar room
and never expects to have dispen-
sary. Understand that only one resi-
dent freeholder Of Whitmires has signed
the petition, and am persuaded to be-
lieve that when his wife finds out the
error of his way he will be constrained
to ask the forgiveness of his friends
and have his name erased from the
petition-a petition that devils would
be eager to sign.
Messrs. Hardy and Blease who are
now members Of the Legislature, voted
with me in 1891 for the charter as it
now stands. T hope and feel sure that
they will see that the charter is not
changed. But if Mr.. benson should
be successful in his mission, according
to the theory set forth in the newspa-
pers by distinguished Baptist divine
of this State, the duty of dispenser
would fall upon the best Christian man
at Whitmires. Consequently it would
fall upon the Methodist preacher to be
dispenser who is a resident of Whit
mires. But I am sure ne would not
accept the job. Unfortunately for Mr..
benson, he being like myself, is not
eligible to the office of dispenser for we
sometimes stand on our backs from the
effects of dispensary. -. -.
Thank God this far have not seen
inside of one, and my prayer is that the
good Lord may help me never to enter
one. J. VS..

President w. D. Evans, Of the AL
lance, has an address to the farmers
which We publish this week. He ad-
vises, where the farmer can, that he
hold his cotton. AS rule we believe
it is better to sell your cotton as you
get it ready for market. A few years
ago the Alliance advised the farmers to
hold their cotton and many Of them
did hold it and lost money by the OPP
GRAFTON.
This year, however, if supply and
demand has anything at all to Go with
the price, it would seem that cotton
will have to go higher and We are in
clined to the opinion that Mr.. Evans
is correct that when farmer can be
should hold his cotton for We see no
reason why it shall not 60 higher.

ticket, nor affiliated with or advocated
any other party, but who would be
ruled out of the Democratic party by
such a decision, be asked me to call

populist and third party man all meant
the same thing.

prominent Democrats in the different
localities of the Democracy of these

I have now on file in the post office
departments sworn statements as to the
Democracy of each candidate whom l
have endol sed where their Democracy
has been questioned.
I will say in conclusion that at al
most every office where there has been
a contest there are infamous, SANDER
GUS letters on file against me and those
whom I represent, written by my op-
ponents in politics from the respective
offices, and that George Johnstone is
now in Washington. and has been for
some time, frequently visiting the de.

the house, maligning and charging me
with being a third partyite, claiming
that be was honestly elected but
counted out by our faction, seeking il
every way possible to destroy my in
fuence and usefulness and defeat the
will of the people as expressed by their
votes.

The following is the meatiest and
most interesting part of three column
letter from Congressman A. G. Lati-

that he had not met any member of

pleased, and that he enjoyed discuss.
ing those questions with me.
At his invitation I went back to the

with Mr.. Maxwell, and he said to me
that if I would get letter from Sen
ator Irby and Senator Butler. stating
that they would not oppose my recon-
mendations as they had made some
endorsements in the district, that he
was ready to take up the district and
proceed with the appointments.
expressed myself as being satisfied
with that requirement and went to
Senator Irby's Office and he drew up
the letter which I here publish. After
he signed it I went to Senator Buffers
Office and stated to him the request
made by Mr.. Maxwell, and asked if be
was willing to sign the letter. He read
st and without making any reply
signed it and handed it to me. The
following is a copy of the letter:

It seems that since Judge Hudson
has rendered his decision that no pen
atty was fixed in the Dispensary law
for its violation and Solicitor Bellinger
has been unable to find the law impos-
ing penalty, that the following Sec
ton from the General Statutes Of 1882
has been discovered. It is section 1868
and is not indexed:
"In cases Of legal conviction, where
no punishment is provided by statute,
the court shall award such sentence
as is conformable to the common usage
and practice in this State, according to
the nature of the offence, and not re-
pugnant to the Constitution"
This will possibly cover the case.

and made a speech in the Senate. 1t
has nothing extraordinary in it. He
talks about the slowness of the Senate
to act, but who is to blame. Those
on Senator Irby's side are the ones who
are staving of a vote. He threatens
not to vote for tariff reform if the Sen
