Saturday morning. These amounts

two.thirds of the former and one-third
OF the latter county, as we'll as large

Spartanburg and Cherokee counties
would comprise approximately 40o
square miles, and the North Carolina
area probably 200 square miles or, to-
gether. 600 square miles. Now one inch
OF rain on one square mile is equal to
sc, ,O44 cubic yards Of water; over the

The Losses OF Horses ia War.

Deaths due to wounds received in
battle constitute but an insignificant
part Of the losses Of cavalry horses in
war. It was Only after a war expe.
rience Of two years that cavalry bu-
reau was established in 1868. This
resulted in economy and increased
efficiency, for an enormous number of
horses, temporarily disabled. through
excessive marching and lack Of forage,
were turned in at the general depots
and recuperated sufficiently to be
again issued. The number turned in
was but fraction of the whole mum
Der issued, owing to the difficulty of
returning worn-out horses from dis
tant and isolated points.
Some idea Of the dimensions of the
remount business may he had from the
statement that 1878 horses were
purchased during the fiscal year eud.
ing June 80. 1864. During the first
eight months Of that year the cavalry
of the Army Of the Potomac was sup
piled with two complete remouuts,
which required 10000 horses. The
total number Of mules and horses re-
quired to keep up, the supply for all
the armies was 500 each day, and the
data collected showed that for every
two men Of the whole force employed
one anipel was required in the ranks
or trains. The recent experience Of
the British army in South Africa in.

An EnglIshman's Prophecy.

The late Sir Walter Besanr, in his
history of London, quotes the fol-
lowing remarkable prophecy mado by
an Englishman, Col. George Hanger,
in 1898: "Should live,'' he wrote,
"to good old age I am confident
that shall hear Of the Northern and
Southern powers Of America vagiug
war with each other. when one party
will solicit assistance from Franco
the other from Great Britain.
It will then depend on the judg-
raent of those men who at that period
may be OF tho head Of TIE French
and British councils whether or not
they will interfere in American dis
pptes. In my humble opinion it
would be better for both countries to
let them settle the matter among
themselves.

other opinion: We should give mp
Canada and Nova Scotia to the Amer

ehould be obliged to send the prime
OF the British army to die In the
West India Islands,

Eastern Forest Fires Caused Carolina
Flood.

Columbia, s. c., June 13.-Fol.
lowing the recent Goods which cost
SO many lives and resulted in such
an enormous loss to property in Kan
sas and South Carolina, scientific
statement as to the probable cause of
such conditions which make such
floods possible is not untimely. SEQ
tion Director J. w. Bauer, of the Co.
lumbia weather bureau, in an inter-
view yesterday said the great forest
fiIes which have ragged throughout
New York and New England for the
past few weeks are the primary causes
is both interesting and instructive.
The causes that produce ordinary
rain are fairly we'll understood in re.
cent years, or, to state it in different
words, meteorologists agree that be-
fore condemnation, Of the vapor of. the
atmosphere is possible to produce even
the smallest drop Of rain there must
be nucleus of dust OF some foreign
matter on which the condensation
takes place; the drop then enlarges by
additional or aeoretional condensation
until its weight is enough to cause it
to fall to the ground.
It is possible for drop to grow
until the very instant it touches the
ground. To produce 80 heavy rain
fall there must, Of cousse, be a nearly
saturated atmosphere and p!!sHH:.;;ees!.
supply of dust PARTICLES to furnish the
nuclei. IL this connection permit me
TO offer theory that may explain the
heavy rains OF the past week in this
vicinity, and at the same time show
the correlation Of the vast expanse Of
atmosphere, and how condition Of
dronth at one place may cause foods.
at another.
For the past three or four weeks
there have been extensive forest fres
throughout New York and New Eng
land, and as the prevailing wirds
during this time have been from the
northeast, much OF this smoke aud
dust or ashes have been. drifting in
this direction in so finely divided
condition that it was not perceptible to
the unaided eyesight. It will also be
recalled that during one week, end.
ing May 26, the winds were westerly
to southerly and that that week was
particularly cloudless, but as soon as
the easterly TO northerly winds again
set in the sky was overcast nearly the
whole time. These forest fres, near
ly 1900 miles away. furnished the
nuclei for the disaster at Paoolet,
made the cloudburst possible, in con-
nection with the high relative humid

FATHER SUES SON.
Judge Ballinser Decides in Favor o
the Former

tho Former.
Special to Times Republican.
Davenport, March 31.-In the case
of John Glynn VS. Jeremiah Darby
Glynn which was carried up from the
district court, Judge Bollinger rendered
an opinion in favor of the plaintiff.
The suit is one that was brought
by John Glynn to eject his son Darby
from the home claimed by the father
on Gaines street.
The suit first came to trial before
Justice Hall but the son claimed the
father had given him the home on the
promise that he would give the parent
a home for life.
AS this involved the title to the prop
erty. Justice Hall Immediately trans
ferred the case to the district court.
The son claims that there was q
verbal agreement between his father
and himself that the father should
make his home with the son and that
the title to the house and lot should
vest in the son. There was no writ
ten agreement to this affect however,
and the evidence in the case was
somewhat contradictory
Judge Bollinger this morning rem
dered his decision in favor of the
plaintiff on the grounds that there was
no written contract and not sufficient
evidence to prove an oral contract.
A. P. McGuirk and Fred Neal repre-
scented the defendant in the case and
G. w. Scott and E. M. Sharon the
plaintiff.
