WINCHESTER AND CLARK COUNTY
FEEL EFFECTS OF REAL BLIZZARD
High Winds Prevail Friday Night and Saturday Morning Rural Carriers
Cannot Break Through Drifts Much Suffering Among The Poor

There was a great fall in temper
allure in Winchester and vicinity Fri
day and Friday night. Early Satur-
day morning many thermometers reg
istered 6 degrees above zero. With
a high wind which at times attained
velocity of fifty miles an hour,
blowing from the West toward the
Northeast, the storm that had been
prophecied for several days, broke
over Clark county Friday.
Not Heavy Snowfall.
Although there, was not a heavy
snowfall, the air was filed with the
fine particles all during the after
noon and far into the night, being
caught and hurled about the streets
by the wind in great clouds, some
times so binding that one could
hardly see his way.
Saturday monring, the snow was
banked two feet in some of the
streets and in the county the drifts
at times attained considerable pro-
portions.
portions. The wind became colder
and the particles of snow were blown
all over the streets during the morn
ing and the drifting became worse in
the country.

Considerable Suffering

The storm has brought consider
able suffering In its wake. There are
many poor families in the city that
have not sufficient clothes to protect
them from such severe weather. The
Kings Daughters and other organi-
cations have had numerous calls for
help in the last few days.
The storm which reached Winches-
ter Friday at noon came from the
Northwest, striking the United States
just east of the Rocky Mountains and
thence taking an easterly course,
swept clear across the continent
from the Canadian border down to
the Gulf of Mexico. The storm CEN
ter was along Northern Indiana and
Ohio.

Few Were Out.

Because of the storm there were
very few people who were brave
enough to venture out of. their homes.
Only those who were compelled
through business necessity, left the
coy corner by. the freside and Fri
day night the streets of the city look
ed very much like those of "a deserted
village. Saturday morning no one
was on the streets and the stores
were deserted.

Great FaII in Temperature.

As predicted by the weather bu-
rean, there was a great fall in the
temperature, from fifty-one degrees
to six degrees above zero. Only
about three inches of snow fell, al
though this measurement is hardly
more than an estimate, because the
fall could not be accurately calculat-
ed because of the high wind which
accompanied the snow. Between s
and 8 o'clock Friday night, street
car traffic was impeded and Satur-
day morning the car did not attempt
to move.
The great velocity which the wind
attained is the highest which has
been known IN many months. At no
time during 1908 did the wind blow
so hard as Friday. There have been
times, however, when the wind blew
harder than fifty miles an hour.

SHIP SUBSIDY MEN

Another Bill Will Be Intro

ger and Pushed.

If there is anything in persistence the
advocates of ship subsidy legislation are
bound to win what they are after.
Few pieces OF proposed legislation
have been fought for with the pertinac-
ity that has been shown in the strug-
gle for a subsidy law. II has gone down
10 defeat session after session. and Con-
gress after Congress. 1t has been re-
peatedly beaten by the narrowest of
margins, so narrow as to be even more
discouraging than wider margins might
have been. Now. the plan is advanced
again.

ocean rail bill in the Senate this week
and those who know the New Hamp-
shire Senator realize that he viii press

notes Of discord were heard arising
from the Senate chamber. Now, moth

The reason is that the head OF the

been quite successful in calming them
down. He has assured them that II

GENTLE MEANS WIN
SENATE INSURGENTS
Speaker Cannon Lambasts the Unruly and Gives Them
No Favors. But Aldrich Reasons Persuasively
and Brings Wanderers Back Into Fold

Everybody is now arising TO remark
the difference between the way they do
things in the Senate and in the House
That is. they are contrasting the ways
OF Uncle joe Cannon and Of Senator
Nelson Wilmarth Aldrich. Both have
insurgents to deal with but they deal
with them in a much different fash
ion
When Uncle joe" finds an insurgent
straying from the reservation he pro-
ceeds figurativeIy to take him out in the
woodshed and larrup him good with the
strap of party discipline. Not a crumb
OF patronage viii he give him. If he
comes about asking for even such a
meager nlorsel as the appointment Of
an elevator man the iron is sunk into
his soul and he is reminded that he
has erred and fallen and that he will
have to spend a good long while getting
himself expurgated of his sins before
there can be forgiveness.
The House way of dealing with an
insurrectionist is TO chastise him into
submission, TO haze him, snub him.

Although there was a big crowd damned about the station when the train pulled out, including many of the striking fremen, there was, no demonstration.
 The mail train went out following an agreement by General Manager Scott of the Georgia Central and Chief Bur gess of the engineers. Although the Union firemen offered to provide fire men for the train they were refused by both Scott and Burgess.
