FORECASTS LATE
AND MILD VIM TER
Killing Frost Not Due Until Late
in November Good News
for Planters.

A late and moderately mild winter
that is the prediction of Weather Man
Won Hermann, and if his prediction
comes true the farmers of Georgia will
be more than 100000 better off, for
on late winter depends the salvation
of a great part of the cotton crop of
the state.
The weather man bases his predic-
South is unusually warm just now, be-
cause of the abnormal warm spell ex-
perienced during the early days of
September, and this condition. he said,
will stave off incipient frosts and much
cold weather until the earth is all
cooled.
Winter will be at least three weeks
later than usual" said he this after
noon, land even then ! do not think
that it will be severe. We have had
an unusually long period of severe win
ters, and according to the laws of av-
erage this will be moderate. Last win
ter was II degrees below the average
in temperature while the winter before
was degrees, and that just preced =
ing degrees below. 1t usually evens
up in two or three years, so | ex-
pect it will be mild this winter.
81 expect the first frost will come
about November 1, as the average frost
arrives October II. but | don't believe
any killing frost will arrive until about
the latter part Of November"
The cotton crop of the state, owing
to the rainy spring, is more than two
weeks behind and if the forecaster is
correct the salvation Of much of the
crop will be effected Every farmer in
the state is vastly worried Just now
and his forecast will be welcomed by
them all.

of the dismissal of Conductor j.

him, strike ballot was ordered
and the employees voted by an
overwhelming majority to walk
out.

noon between officials of the road and

road officials issued this statement:

f1agmen, baggage masters and yard
trainmen may withdraw from our serv-
ice"
This is taken as an admission on the
part of the railroad officials that they
had little, IL any, hope of averting a
walkout.

President James Murdoch. of the

Wife Sure OuSted
Husband Will Win

Mrs. John T. Paschal. of "a East
avenue, wife OF the Georgia railroad
conductor whose discharge over a tech
nicality may cause strike of 300 train
men, is more than confident that her
husband will be indicated in the end.
In whatever action ensues she believes
her husband and his fellow trainmen
will be returned victors.
Il don't know about all the details of
the trouble" said Mrs. Paschal today,
but am sure Mr.. Paschal will win.
He is fighting for principle and the
railroad officials know that he and the
men are right.
"My husband did not tell me about
his discharge until month after he
had been turned off, because l was i'll,
but he said before he left for Augusta
that ne intended to fight the thing out
to the end. He did not believe 1t was
right to be turned off as he was after
twenty years of service.
Some of the men are saying that the
railroad company discharged Mr.. Pas
cnal because he had always been prom
inent in the affairs of the union and
not because he worked his train several
minutes over the time limit.
II don't know about that, but I do
know that Jack expects to win this
fight and l expect him to win 1t, too
Mrs Paschal said that because of
her recent illness she would not be
able to go to Augusta, where the con-
test between the men and the railroad
company will be waged If strike is
called.
but l will help him to win In every
way | can, because he is right in this
fight" was her parting shot.

Muskogee, Oklahoma.-A Trivett, a

been captured by posse OF officers
with bloedhounds.
Trivett was wanted for the murder
Of William Napier, a tenant on the
Trivett farm. A charge of stealing
cattle had been filed against Tnvett,
and Napier was subpoenaed as a wit
ness. Napier went to Trivett's house
What passed between the two men is
not known, but Trivett killed Napier
with shotgun.
After the shooting Trivett ran into
the house, got his revolver and a rife
and kissed his wife and children good
by, telling them that it was a case OF
escape or die. He bore the reputation
of being a dangerous man, and citi-
zens did not attempt to capture Triv-
EFT until officers with bloodhounds ar
rived, and Trivett had many hours
start
The hunted man struck directly in
to the heart of the rough section Of
the Cherokee nation, east of Bfaggs.
He was making directly for the Iron
Mountain railroad at point which he
expected to reach just in time to board
a train, but misjudged directions and
came out at point where a precipice
80 feet high overlooked the railroad
tracks With the dogs swapping at his
heels he whirled to fight.
Trivett said he had his mind fully
made up to fight his way out when
cornered. and die before he would
surrender. but that when he rushed
out upon the edge of the precipice and
found he had missed his direction and
could not reach the railroad track, It
unnerved him to such an extent that
he permitted the officers to get the
drop on him.
