Richard Williams Gives Splendid
Account of His Travels.

Concord, N. c., July, 1907.-E 1itor
Herald: We pulled in here Tuesday
after a three weeks tour over tle
state. While on this trip we visited
relatives in four counties and found
the crops here in a very poor cOndi-
ton. Cotton, which Is their main
crop, is four weeks late, as the farm
erS inform us in our travels, and has
just begun to bloom out, which in a
general way should be in June. Fruit
is fiat failure, as we found none in
our travels. Last week when in Gas
ton county, thirty miles west of here,
we visited a road gang of convict5 at
work on the public roads, sixty in
number, ranging in age from II to 35
years. Out of this number there were
six white and fifty-four colored

We saw one man mere sentenced

Both were white men. In building a
road they cut right through a hill,
just as in building railroad.
When they get 1t to level they dig
out a pace eight feet wide AMI twelve

Honey viii Be Scarce.

S. L. Sherman, the bee man, informs
us that this has been nari season
on the bees. From 10 colonies spring
count he has IS left, and has fed them
between four and five hundred pounds
of money he had on hand. to keep them
from starving. All bee keepers of the
country report the same condition of
tne honey crop up to the first of June.
Since thea bees have been getting
enough to keep them alive and there
is prospect of some fall honey.

THE RED CROSS NURSE
AROUSED ENTHUSIASM

1.-The Red Cross Nurse was given
| it's first Honolulu performance last
evening to another large house 1t is
a strongly written drama, treating of
period in the history Of the country
that can not fail of interest, even at
this time. The play opens and closes
in New York, the intermediate scenes
being laid in and around Cuba. One of
terror of the Red Cross Hospital, and
this act received curtain calls. Another
strong scene was that of the charge OF
San Juan Hill, which was heightened
by the presence of a squad of the mi
litia, who made the charge like veter-
ans. The burden of the play falls on
the shoulders of Miss Chamberlain, and
she plays the role excellently and rises
to all requirements of the young girl
who becomes a Red Cross nurse. True
Boardman was at his best as Captain
Travers. Sergeant Rafferty, is well
played by George Hernandez, and much
was made of Wally Astorbelt by Lloyd
Edwards. William Marion was in his
element as the villainous Captain
Powell. Clarence Ferguson had little to
do as Colonel Pattie, but he did full
justice to. the part. Matte Lloyd Luce
was natural and pleasant as Maude
Travers. Anna Dodge is not at her
bestvin the role of Mrs. Pattie. Messrs.
Roberts and Daull impaired strength
and interest to the cast in their re-
spective roles. There, We're some clever
specialties given by Miss Matte Luce,
Lavigne and Sophie Gordon. The same
play will be given tonight, and at the
matinee this afternoon "The Princess

FORECAST OF STORMS TO CROSS
THE CONTINENT.
A COOLER TEMPERATURE
Expected, Followed by a Great Rise,
Where Too Much Rain Has Fallen
Conditions Will Improve-A Droutll
Threatened in Some Sections.

(Copyrlghted 1907 by w. L. Foster.
Washington, D. c., June I5.-Last
bulletin gave forecasts of disturbance to
cross the continent IS to 70, warm wave
ID to I8, cool wave II to 2I. The next
disturbance will reach the Pacific coast
about 20, cross west of the Rockies by
close of 81, great central valleys 22 to
"a, eastern states rs. Warm wave will
cross west of the Rockies about 20, the
great central valleys 22, eastern states
"a. Cool wave will cross west of the
Rockies about %, great central valleys
IS, eastern states 27.
This will be the most important dis
turbance of the month; important be-
cause it will bring a great hot wave and
dry weather. This great hot wave will
continue from about Fl to 28 and will
include two disturbances.
The most dangerous storms of June
will occur from 23 to 28 and following
these storms will come very cool spell
|of weather, so cool that it will be a not
able weather event, particularly In the
eastern provinces, New England States
and in the Missouri valleys. But the
month of June will average from about
to above normal temperatures and rain
fall below normal
Very cool weather is expected about
date of this bulletin, followed by great
rise in temperatures, dry and drying
weather till near 23. That period of
|eight days will make vast change in
crop conditions Where too much rain
has fallen conditions will improve, and
where rainfall has been below normal
drouth will threaten
| do not pretent to forecast earth
quakes, but | am thoroughly convinced
that most earthquakes are caused by
electrical disturbances; therefore these
seismic disturbances are more than
usually probable on some parts of the
earth from June 23 to 28.
The people are now more universally
intelligent and much larger percentage
are educated and in possession of knowl-
edge than ever before, consequently the
general discussion of the causes that
bring about weather changes and par
ticularly what the cause" of the very
unusual weather of 1907, are better un-
derstood and more highly appreciated
by the common newspaper readers than
by many who claim to be orthodox
scientists.
Our so-called scientists are taught in
the universities that earth, sun and
planets are not and cooling bodies and,
with them, that theory underlies their
conception of the universe and is their
controlling theory in all things related
to physics They can not understand the
electrical theory of the universe.
But the masses of the people are edit
Gated; not drilled into theories but pre-
pared for studying all theories unbiased
by the dognatism of the universities.
The open book of nature is the text
book of the educated masses, and they
readily grasp the idea of growing,
eternal, electrical universe; they can see
that electricity and not heat is the orig
inal force
