CycIone Predicted.

Prof. A j. DeVOe, the well known
weather forecaster of HOcEensack, n. j /,
has written to Gov. Heard notifying him
that it is possible cyclone will sweep
over this State between the 9Th and 10th
of July MS result of the recent cloud
burst in South Carolina, saying that, as
a rule, when cloudburst occurs In June
it is usually followed by very violent
electrical storms and tOrnadoes in July.
The tornadoes descend about 800 miles
west from where the cloudburst occur
red, Hence he claims the conditions
which caused that cIoudburst are liable
TO sweep over this STATED between The
9th and 10th of July. He says that
while the tornado may not descend. IN
this State, 1t is likely 10 cGfne sufficiently
near to be of great interest to Our peo-
pie. Gov. Heard TUNED the cummnnl-
cation over to the Department of Agri-
culture, Prof. DeVOe. as a rule. Il q
pretty reliable forecaster, but We sincere
" trust that this will be one time he will
miss it. However, there is but little
room for doubt but that every cloud
which NAV put in an appearance from
now until The time set for the possible
cyclone visit will be watched with much
interest and concern.

THURSDAY. JUNE IS. 1903.

The northern papers have had gr eat
deal to say about Deonage, which they
claim to be u southern institution and
the arrest of an Alabama man under that
charge has attracted u great deal Of at
tention recently also in the South where
unfortunately 1t has been practIced in
a few sections.
PeOnage consists in the payment OF
certain sums of money to individuals
and the giving of bond for the labO-
OF the peou for fixed period, and while
there IS no doubt that employers are en-
tltled TO protection from persons who
engage In work and then after obtaining
an advance of wages, disappear, the law
gives protection and It "a the abuse Of 1t,
wherein the danger lies.
The New York papers had the most
to say about this ugly practice In the
south and now the ugliest kind of peon-
age comes to light as practIced IN that
city. An Italian who was confined to
fail upon serious charge executed the
following paper to secure the payment
of his counsels fee for legal service:
"New YORK, June 10, 19O3-Upon de-
mand. which hereby submit, promise
to pay to my counsel, Phil Waldheimer:
the sum of $3.50 for services rendered
and 10 be rendered, in defending me
upon the charge of abuction, and ! here
by m rtgage my life until the full sum Is
paid. ,ooNr,
$3.50. ANTONIO lhONE'
AT the trial the Italian wa acquitted
of the charge preferred against him but
notwithstanding this fact the lawyer
who shsended him stllTTsNEs mortgage
on bIs life.
Let us now see how the Northern
papers will discuss this case.
