ACCEPTS THE NOMINATION.
Hon. John 4. NcGraw Writes the Eel.
lowing Letter To the Chairman OF
the Congressional Convention.

GRAFTON, VIVA. Aug sIst., 1907.
Hon. WV. r. ID. DENT,
CHAIRMAN, GRAFTON, WEST Va,
Dear Sir:
beg to acknowledge the receipt
of your letter of the sth inst,
notifying Inc that the Democratic
Convention, for this Congressional
District, held at Piedmont on the
a3rd ultimo had, by reclamation,
named me as its candidate for Con-
gress and instructed you, as its
Chairman, to formally notify me Of
its action. In further acknowledge
nent, must thank you for your
kind personal expressions, as also
for copies of the platform and re-
solutions adopted by the Convention
which you enclose, and to say in
reply, to your letter, that accept
the nomination and am ready for
the contest.
In respect to that part OF the
Conventions action which without
precedent generously authorized me
to name the campaign Committee,
beg to advise you that l decline 70
exercise this privilege because my
party associates, in the several coun-
ties in the District, have been so
uniformally kind and generous to
me throughout many years of politi-
cal association and personal contact
with them, that I will not assume to
decide questions of personal fitness,
in such counties as there may be a
friendly rivalry, among party friends,
for the place. AS the Convention,
however, made no other provision
for the selection of the Committee
and as decline, for the above
reason, to name this Committee, 1
have taken the liberty of asking Col.
Thomas B. Davis, of Mineral, Hon.
w. b. Cornwell of Hampshire, Hon.
William Campbell of Jefferson, Hon.
]. Hop Woods of Barbour and DR..
VIM. M. Dent of Preston-gentle-
men of the highest personal integrity
and Democry of unquestioned party
loyalty-to select this Committee
and to report their action to you.
| have no doubt these gentlemen
will make such selections, for the
several counties, as will not only be
satisfactory to the party, in the
District but such as will bring to it
faithful and efficient organization.
will feel under renewed obliga-
tons if, when this Committee will
have been named, | may ask you to
notify the gentlemen selected and
ask them to arrange an early meet
ing for the purpose of organization
Very truly yours,
JOHN T. McGRAw.

SEPTEMBER WEATHER
According To The Forecast OF Prof.
Hicks.

FROM inc ISL tO the AIN IaiiS the
elimination of regular Vulcan
period, intensified by Mercury.
Earth and Mars, with new moon.
Warm weather generally will most
likely prevail at the opening of the
month, with falling barometer, grow
ing humidity, and other storm in.
dications spreading eastward from
west and southwest. On and touch.
ing the and to 4th no one should be
surprised by energetic storms of
rain, wind and thunder. This is
one of the autumnal equinoctial
periods in which heavy equatorial
storms arc quite probable. The
chances are that frosts will occur
northward about the 4,h to the 9TH.
The elements will react into storm
conditions of more or less energy,
progressing from west to east about
the 9TH to 9th. The center of the
Mars period falls on the nth, and
on and about this date, it must be
remembered, our globe reaches
crisis or maximum of magnetic and
electric excitation, as rule causing
many curious phenomena in earth
and air. Electrical storms, earth
currents, auroral lights, seismic
shivers and all similar manifestations
are common and natural about this
time.
The regular storm period central
on the 18th will almost certainly
bring on state of stormy and un-
settled weather that will continue in
a general way into the reactionary
storm days centering about the 18th
and 18th. One of the danger per-
iods for September, especially in
localities exposed to equinoctial
storms, will be about the 18th, 18th
and 10Th. Watch all indications at
this time, and do not be surprised
by very cool nights and frost, as
soon as the low barometric area
and storms move out of the way.
Sections most exposed, and interest
ed In the matter of probable frosts
at this time, as we'll as other Sept
ember periods, might save them
selves loss by common sense
watchfulness.
The last regular storm period for
September is central on the 24th ex-
tending over the 22nd to 27th.
This period is at the center of the
Earth's autumnal equinox, with
Moon at greatest dcclination north,
pcrigee and last quarter. Another
series of very decided equinoctial
storms is both possible and probable
at this time. No one can possibly
!oresee the exact outcome of this or
any other period, or say just where
the disturbances will strike with
greatest violence; but the certainty
OF periodic storms, and the time
illness and defniteness of the in
dications always preceding them,
give as effective warning to those
who will heed as absolute knowledge.
The month closes in a reactionary
storm disturbance, excited by the
passage of the Moon over the equator
on the goth. On that date and into
October Ist, autumnal thunder
storms will touch many localities.
