TREMENDOUS RAINFALL.
Uncle Sam's Weather Prophet Was Cor rect In Figuring On Yester-
 days Conditions.

Uncle Sam's weather prophet made no mistake when, in sanding out his bulletin Wednesday for the following thrty-six hours, he said there would be thunder, wind and rain in the afternoon of Thurs day.
 Early in the afternoon the sky began to wear a lowering and gloomy aspect. Large banks of black, ugly looking clouds began gathering in the southwestern DOT tion of the horizon. Soon the wind rose and the clouds began scurrying above the city, causing many pedestrians to look upvnard and hasten their steps. The rain began about o'clock and with nightfall came down in torrents, flooding every thing. The wind for time reached the velocity of gale, but so far as learned no damage has been done.
 After nightfall the rain settled to steady fall, and continued una bated for several hours. j.

CONFESS JUDGEMENT.
The City Prisoners By Doing So Avoid Coalburg and Voluntarily Become
 Laborers on Dadeville Farm.

Yesterday afternoon the following pris- oners who were fined in the inferior criminal court during the morning ses- sion. signed contracts with G. D. Cosby, Dadeville planter. and will leave this morning at 9:45 o'clock for the latters farm. The offenses and fines are as fol-. lows: as-s
 - Henry Smith, trespass; $5 or 10 days z James Thompson, trespass; $5 or 10 days. tS.
 Sam Clifton, trespass; $5 or 10 days.
 Parish Wilson, assault and battery; $40 or 80 days.
 The last named was originally fined .$25 and 90 days but is was afterwards changed to $40.
 The sending of the prisoners to Dade- ville is a new phase of the convict sys- tenn, but the city does not lease them to the planter. This scheme is worked in this way.
 A prisoner is fined in the inferior court and is unable to pay his fine. MT. Cos- by, who, as stated above, is a large planter offers to pay the fine in full provided the prisoner signs voluntary contract to go to Dadeville and work on the farm until the amount paid is worked out. There is no compulsion in the mat ter and the city does not figure in the contracts between the prisoners and MT. Cosby. He pays the fine, whatever it iiiay tDs, anu ldhes lHe FISK ol HdVliS tue , men remain with him and work out the amount or run away.
 The part played by the city is that of allowing the convicted law breaker to confess judgment for the, fine and let MT. Cosby pay the amount. .Whether by confeSsng judgment to the city and sign ing the voluntary contract with Mir Cos by makes them virtually .convictS on a farm is a disputed question. As far as the city is concerned, the ends of justiee are first met by the payment of the fine imposed in the inferior criminal court.

 When the system begins to show signs of poor, weak, impoverished blood when di- gestion fails and weight goes down from the normal standard, then is the time to be anx- ious and slide the bolts against dangerous disease.

coming harvest of cereals threatens to

The report of the state geologist of

failure of natural gas in the near fu-

cries have been made or are now like
ly to be made. A decrease in the press
ure was first noticeable in 1895, and it
is still diminishing.
There is an all-around man in Terre
Iaute, Ind. The Express of that city
