feature of this disturbance will be num-

corn crop VII be calamity.
But l am counting on sufficient rains
before August 10 to bring much relief
and revive the hopes of fair average
corn crop for 1910 If these rains come
as expected we will see a great decline
in all grain prices. So much is now de
pending on the corn crop that should
the drouth continue all grains wifi be in
greater demand while a fair corn crop
will insure more moderate prices.
Therefore while prices are up is a good
time to sell if you must sell before mid
winter.
The third disturbance of August will
reach the Pacific coast about II, cross
Pacific slope by close Of IL, great cen
trail valleys 10 to IS, eastern sections 10.
Warm wave will cross Pacific slope
about II, great central valleys I3, east
ern sections IS. Cool wave will cross
Pacific slope about "a, great central val
leyS IS, eastern sections IS
This disturbance will bring hot wealth
er again. and where good showers shall
have fallen the previous week fine grow
ing weather for corn and spring wheat
will be assured Good rains are ex-
pected in the lowers Missouri valleys
and from Burlington, Iowa, to New Or
leans during the week centerirg on Au-
gust 8 Some good rains also in the
northwest spring wheat country and
some other parts of the cotton belt.
The hope of cotton, corn, northern
spring wheat and fall pastures lies in
the amount of rain that may fall in
these sections during the seven days
centering on August s.
I expect severe weather, near August
II, as noted on my monthly weather
charts, but indications are that it will
develop into heat. But the heat will
not continue long. With the exception
of the two hot waves near August and
ID the month will average cooler than
usual
The cotton crop does not seem to
promise well during August. Too much
rain near the Mississippi river, and too
dry weather in Texas, Georgia, Ala
bama, Florida and Cuba.
The year 1911 will be somewhat noted
for tornadoes. From April ~ to May
J will be very dangerous period and
it will be well to put all the tornado eel
lars in good repair and warn school
teachers to be on the alert for twisters,
particularly in the great central val
Ieys.,
During first half Of November 1910
will occur some of the greatest storms
Of the year and killing frosts will be
carried to extreme southern parts OF
he cotton belt.

GOVERNOR PATTERSON RE
BUKED.

BUkED.
If ever an official was rebuked, brand
ed, fguratively with the stigma of dis
credit, as contemptuous as it could b.
as voiced by an outraged people, tina
man is Governor Patterson of Tennes
see. ...
How has the mighty fallen
Only few days since he hurled de
fance at the people of Tennessee b.
whom he had been honored aad entrust
ed with high office, and there came q
time in his official career when he as
sun1ed to be greater than the people anc
mightier than the Supreme Court of his
State.
He was like Humpty Dunmpty before
his fall
The issues were clearly defined.
Governor Patterson was on trial be
fore the people of Tennessee.
In the election was involved the se1ec-
ton of the judicial officers of the State,
but the center of interest was in the
election of justices of the Court of Civil
Appeals and the State Supreme Court.
Each court has FIVE members and
there were two tickets in the field Gov
ernor Patterson was backed by the
Democratic State organization and the
influence and the money of the liquor
interests.
The opposition comprised the people
who bid defiance to the political ma
chine, branded Democratic and manipu-
lated by Patterson.
Lifelong Democrats revolted openly
not only against Patterson and his
methods, but against the domination of
the breweries and the liquor traffic.
The campaign spirit was intensified by
the open charge that Patterson had at
tempted to coerce the Supreme Court
in the interest of Duncan Cooper and
his son, the murderers Of Senator Car
mack.
The slogan of the anti Patterson men
was "a free and untrammeled judiciary"
Patterson's organization was thor
ongh1y systematized and with his super
lative audacity he had reckoned on a
certain triumph, but he has been over
whelmed in defeat, for which all self
respecting citizens everywhere should
rejoice.
In this opposition to Patterson there
was arrayed the Republicans who con-
tributed their full share in this rebul<e
of the man who pardoned redhanded
murderer, in defiance of the decree of
the Supreme Court and of the people of
Tennessee.
In this instance the party brand nor
the old cry of Democrat" availed.
Politicians and time servers should
bear in mind that the people will no
longer follow blindly the standard of
Democracy when it has been seized and
is being carried by men who have out
naged every principle of decency and
good morals.
The revolt in Tennessee is an omen
most encouraging. 1t is a warning to
men who prostitute politics to personal
ends. It is the voice of the people which
proclaim defiance to the liquor and other
evil influences which would dominate
the State In this rebuke of Patterson is
signaled his overwhelming defeat at the
regular election in November. And if
1ifeless and therefore mute and insen-
sibie to mortal ears, the spirit of Sen
ator Edward w. Carmack may still lead
the people of Tennessee in the fulfill
ment of solemn duty in the mainten-
ance of the honor and the integrity of
the State

lady run over in the streets would
cause as much trouble to tho careless
driver as a host Of possible children

fails to blow his horn at the street
corners ought to be allowed to run an

THE COMETS !A-coM1SG.

The coming of the comet has SGT the
nations to work quieting the fears Of
their Ignorant citizens and subjects.
England is bestfrring herself in par

mountains to the sea, warning the ma
tiyes that a heavenly visitant Is near,
ana that he or it. whatever may be the
sex, will give them nightmare or
send them panic-stricken through the
Jungle.
we admire England's foresight, but
we deplore the waste OF money. The
government may plaster every bill-
board from Melbourne to Labrador
with announcements that the comet is
nearing the earth, but it cannot still
the alarm which will be aroused among
rocket really looms up In the sky.
Even in our own country, where the
newspapers have been talking OF the
comet for months. many people will
think that the end of thcEworld is at
hand and that the general smash-up
is coming. No newspaper talk will re-
assure them and no scientific inpesti-
cations will calm thcm.
There are yet two months OF grace
FOR the sinful, and some months OF
waiting for the righteous before the
comet will be near us. AS yet, 1t
can hardly be seen except with the
aid OF opera glasses, and 1t will not
loom large for some weeks. BY
the first of May. however. the
comets light will brighten, until. on

There is no telling what they will
do In Chicago, and 1t is useless to
make predictions. They may turn
aroutd and have a. great exposition, or
they may decide on n flno display OF
bomb-throwing, or they may choose
to have a campaign against long hat
pins. They may decide to mako sau-
sage out OF women, or to raise the
price OF wheat, or to cat some
new ana unheard OF dish, imported by
one OF their citizens who spent his
money in seeing the senmy side OF
Europe.

little surprising, even to those who
lave always thought that the insan-
*ity OF that town had long since passed

inspectors. that the store Keepers OF
that town have been selling candy to
mon, women and children, which is de-
Eclarcd to contain "sa 1-a per cent.
ether, 2 1-2 per cent. ether oil, and 65
per cent. alcohol"
We do not know much about ether
and ether oil. They might be- very
useful for some things and we are
inclined to pass them by, ct least for
tho purpose OF argument. The last
item is the important. one. Tho candy,
whatever It's virtues. is said to pro-
duce drunkenness of the highest order.
We cannot understand how 1t is
that anybody in Chicago wants to take
his liquor in candy. What's the good
OF 1t? If the man does not wish to
carry around half-pnt in his hip
pocket, or, for personal reasons does
not care to enter a bar.room, why
should no choose to take his refresh
ment in such a way? The bag might
break the candy might fall, and where
would the man be then? Again. why
should anyone In Chicago. OF all
places. ever want to disguise his IL
quor? We have never heard that the
Chicago people were modest. or that
they hesitated to take their drink, or
that they cared what anybody else
thought about anything they did.
The thing might have been intellig-
able down in Georgia. possibly, and In
North Carolina, probably. provided
there were no speak easies handy or
mo express trains due in the next few
hours. A man might have an excuse
in that dry and thirsty land to con-
ccal his liquor in chocolate bonbons,
but he could not plead that excuse in
Chicago, where there is bar on ev-
cry corner and somo in between.
We do not know what our friend OF
the Chicago Tribune will say on this
point, and we do not wisl, to condemn
him unheard but we have our suspi-
Fcions about the whole matter. Those
Chicago people are great advertisers
and they do not hesitate to adopt any
method to bring their goods to the
attention of the people. For an we
know, this whole talk about the pure
food authorities stopping the trade in
the Intoxicating candy may be an adj
vcrtising device-merely intended to
assure the good people of North Car
iolina and Alabama that Chicago will
not fail them in their hour of need or
turn a deaf ear to their cries for
little ,sumthin' ter drink"
