Severe Cold Wave Predicted for the Latter Part of
September.
September.

The farmer, dealer Spectator, who have
read these bulletins have probted by the
rise In value Of corn. while those who HAYS
been guided by the United States weather
reports have lost money.
1t may DO unfortunate that my bulletins
can not be published in more than ons
paper in city, but ns the newspapers pay
for this service, business principles re-
quire this course. The result is that tnreo-
fourths Of the pewspapers-all that are
no permitted to publish my forecasts
have business interest against them and
these opposition papers have led their
readers to sell their corn at a great loss.
| have only promised that my forecasts
and advice win prove correct two times
out Of three but this Is vastly better than
guessing. Ordinarily the farmer is the
Loser because he does not know the prices
his products should bring six months III
advance and on an average he loses tsyo
times out Of three by selling too early or
too late.
Weather changes never cease TO affect
prices In midwinter a great snow or
sleet or freeze materlally affects cond-
tions OF wheat and also the soil or which
crops are to be planted and sowed In the
spring and by knowing something OF these
future weather changes we can know when
TO expect prices to fuctuate.
T. Is no detriment TO the dealer and
speculator flr birmers 10 get good prices
or the farmers those who follow 10y bull
letias get their profits and the Increased
prices to farmers is always n boom for the
merchants. All who earn Living by hand
or brain work are benefited by the in
crease OF business which necessarily fol-
lows an increase In the values CT cereals,
For these reasons my bulletins will al
ways be on the side OF better prices.

The Convention.

There are many people who believe There
is an effort being made to fill the coming
Constitutional Convention with delegates
opposed to constitutional reform. If this
should occur whose fault will it be? The
voters have the matter in their hands. and
if they by Indifference or neglect, permit
the selection of enemies OF reform in our
State and county. Government, then it will
be their fault, and the evils and !lardsllips
Of an expensive Government will be visited
upon them. There are some who simply
favor an amendment OF the suffrage laws
only. They contend that the present sys-
tenn or Constitution other than the suf
fraGe laws cannot be improved upon. If
You think there are too many officers,
too many courts, and that taxes are I'M
necessarily high as result our form Of
government then assert 5'our belief by
taking a hand in the selection of a dele
gate to represent you. Make the candi-
date to that high position ell you what

he will do ii elected. Those who have spe-
cial interests TO serve have no business in
that convention, aad it Is Your duty as a
voter and a citizen to decide who is the
rgat man.--SouIhampton Graphic.
1t is to be hoped that Governor Tylers
message to the special session of the
Legislature, in January, will deal more
pungently and practically with matters
of local interest. While. OF course, the
Governors message is in no way binding
on the Legislature. it is to be hoped that
he will clearly call attention to the more
specific purpose for which they are SO pc
cuIiar!y assembled Outside of the cues
tons to be dealt with anent the Constitu-
tional Convention, there is little need for
any more general legislation. The con-
vention is the main point, and should be
considered fully and promptly and to the
exclusion of any matters Of less vital i'm
portance. II there is any other legisla-
ton it should only be considered where
there is a pressing necessity for it, and
not even then TO the exclusion Of the
Convention question. Nor should the Gov
ernor fail to urge this in his message

MORE ABOUT PUBLICITY.

Mr.. w. H Ewing, treasurer of Prince
Edward county, says that the articles III
The Time on Publicity have attracted
attention and done great good. He is sur
prised to learn that the supervisors IN
many counties have not had their treas
,lrer's report printed. He encloses an ar
ticie from the I'ar1nvile Herald. in which
ii is said that ever since the Democrats
of Prince Edward got into power an item
lied account Of the receipts and eNpendi-
lures has been made by the county treas
ureT in July Of each year and published in
that paper taking mp from one and half
to two columns. and the printing is paid
for by the board. Moreover. the Herald
prints an account of the transactions Of
the supervisors after each meeting, and is
paid uader contract out OF the county
funds for this work
Our Farmvillc contemporary says that
all warrants drawn by the supervisors,
every jury ticket issued by the County
Court and every school warrant is paid
in casl, as soon as presented TO the treas
urer; that liz the last few years Prince
Edward has ouita new modern. fire-proof

county Of about $4,000, that The county
owes only a small bonded debt of 5000,
which will be paid as soon as it is due:
that the taxes are only forty cents on the
hundred dollars valuation for county lur-
poses, twenty cents for school and ten
cents for roads; that the treasurer had IN
his hands TO the credit of the county. at
his settlement in July last, a balance Of
$3.50.
How is this asks the Herald. for

City Sergeant Boisseau says, anent the
reprieve of Griffin, that he has told him
of his good fortune, but cannot seem to
make him understand it; that Griffin
presents the peculiar spectacle of man
dying of fright and he confidently be-

Such instances are not so rare as one
would imagine. and Griffin low, 5esotted,
ignorant, with only brutal instincts and
no education, little or no moral courage
and superstition strong. presents just the
character on whom the fear OF death by
the Law, cold, memorable, at a certain
time and under circumstances made nor
rid by laws formalities, would work to
drive the subject to insanity and death.
