WEATHER FORECAST ISSUED.
The 'DutchFork Prophet" Predicts
Tropical Storms.

There Is in Columbia gentleman
who has made a number Of correct
weather forecasts. He Is called the
Dutch Weather Prophet" and W.
P. Houseal is his name in private
life. Mr. Houseal made forecast
some time in advance of the inaugu.-
raj exercises at Washington last
spring. He did not make the fore
cast public, because the same might
have had the effect of keeping some
people away from the Capital at
the time. The public knows what
happened-that stormy inaugura-
ton day. Mr. Houseal issued fore
case a few days ago and review Of
former forecast. MIR. Houseal
says:
The last forecast, of weather con-
ditions was made by the Dutch
Weather. Prophet on the 1st Of April.
That forecast said that the spring
and summer night sin the. South
Atlantic States would, be cool with
the exception. of very few, nights.
There has been no use to take a
trip to the mountains. The cool
nights, will continue and the season
will continue with moderate temper
atures.
"The equinoctial period begins
this year on September IA. Special
forecasts have been made already to
some inquiries. The East Gulf and
South Atlantic States are likely to be
disturbed by tropical storms of more
or less intensity. The critical period
is the week in which September II
occurs. This period extends to Sep
tember 29 and the coast section will
not be safe until the latter date has
been passed.
''The disturbance may be central
lied and If so it will be equal to
the storm of August 29, 1898, but it
is observed even now that the tropi-
cal disturbances have tendency this
year to form in succession, and this
condition of the atmosphere in the
tropics will serve as breaker, which
will dissipate to large extent the
energy of the West India visitors
and cause them to go out to sea,
with high, winds along the coast.
1.-The. dry weather will continue
throughout, this week at least, with
rain probably on the 2S-31st."

Unique Character Gone.

The st. Matthews correspondent OF
The News and Courier says: MT.
John M. Payne, familiarly known as
Uncle Jake" died Wednesday af
terloon at S o'clock at the advanced
age of SO years. His death removes
g. most unique character. OF his
early life little Is known except that
he was an Englishman by birth.
Why he was so reticent about his
early history Is secret which he
carried to his grave. He admitted
being a sailor in his young days,
and thereby had the good fortune
to see much Of the world. He is
said to have landed in the South as
one of Sherman's "bummers. Be
that as it may, the new conditions
surrounding him On his adopted
home thoroughly renovated his feel
ings and sentiments, and changed
him into Southerner to the hearts
core"

LEARNING FROM A NEGRO
How He Got More For His Cotton
Than Other Folks.

I We ran across an old negro the
other day who can neither read nor
write, but who has kept his eyes
open, and has reached some pro-
gressive conclusions that ought to
make some of our white farmers
rather ashamed of themselves by
comparison, says The Progressive
Farmer Of Raleigh, N. C.
When ;he hauled his cotton to
market the other day, this negro
got a better price per pound than
our white farmers have been get
ting. because the buyer said it was
about the best bale that he had seen
this season. The old negro never
lets a bale lie out in the weather,
but keeps it housed, and when he
gins his cotton he always instructs
the ginner to put good bagging on
it.
II have always noticed" said the
old darkey in talking to ue, that
anything that looks nice and good,
no matter what it is, fetches more
money. The good bagging that I
put on my cotton costs twenty cents
bale extra, and I believe I some
times get $500 a bale more on ac-
count of the neat looking bagging,
not to say anything Of the better
price get on account Of keeping
the cotton dry and under shelter;
