Albany. N, Y, Oct. 13.-Convinced
that his defense was unskillfully con
Quoted, Governor William Sulzer has
practically broken with his lawyers in
the impeachment case against him, ii
was understood here today.
The governor was incensed, in par
ticular, by what he considers the vir-
tual admission from Attorney D. Cady
Herrick, of the defense, that he is unfit
for the governorship, coupled with the
contention that unfitness is not ground
for impeachment.
Sulzer considered, too, that his coun-
sci made fatal mistake in refusing to
allow him to make a statement in his
own behalf, from the witness stand,
If convicted, it was said, he would
blame his attorneys,
Great Pressure Brought.
Tremendous pressure was being
brought on the members of the court to-
day, both for and against the governor.
All were deluged with kilograms and
special delivery letters and by personal
calls from individual constituents and
by delegations of them.
So uncomfortable had this pressure
become that it was believed every pos.
sible effort would be made to hasten a
verdict even if a night session were
necessary.
Witness Bribed
The court went into executive session
at 2 p. m. to consider whether there
was evidence that one of the witnesses
had been tampered with. Senator Wag

culture say 100000 acres of winter
wheat have ben abandoned, plowed up.
Probably there are as many acres left
standing that will result in an average
yield of 80 per cent damage. Later we
predicted drouth in large sections
where oats is produced. Wagner, the
big grain man of Chicago; says oats
has been seriously damaged in six
teen States and he is now advising the
purchase of oats as a good investment.
AS our forecasts for oats and wheat
seem to have been good we now ven
ture to say that prices of all grains
and cotton will go higher before July
l. This forecast is based on expected
crop weather conditions. A financial
panic might send everything lower, but
those big fellows who profit by panics
VIII think it over before they take any
chances on further arousing the public
on that question. The people of Eu.
rope and North America are very
tired of being exploited along the panic
line. A panic this year would bring
disaster to those who manipulate pan
cs and they are shrewd enough to
inow it. We will not be afflicted by ,
panic this year.

continent May 80 to June 2. Warn
wave May 2S to June l. cool wave
May 80 to June 4. The week centerine
on the day this disturbance passes
your longitude, as it moves eastward
will average cooler than usual. The
storm forces will continue greater than
usual, but will decrease in force after
May 81. Rainfall will be deficient in
the Ohio valleys. Large parts of the
oats sections will continue to want for
moisture. We have not expected a
large yield of oats this year.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about June 8, cross Pacific slope

5th to 9TH, Eastern sections Sth. Warm
wave will cross Pacific slope about
June 8, great Central valleys 9Th, East
ern sections 7th. Cool wave will cross
Pacific slope about June 6, great Cen
trail valleys Sth, Eastern sections 10th
Soon after this disturbance passes
to the east of the Rocky Ridge the
storm forces will largely increase and
about the time it crosses meridian 80
it will be a radical storm, increasing
in force till it passes out onto the
Atlantic. We are not willing to risk
a positive statement about the force of
this storm, but will warn all to watch
it and take no chances.
The cycle of great storms eliminates
on 1913, will run throughout the year
and was long ago graded with those
years that bring our most dangerous
disturbances. When we shall have
passed through this cycle every part
of this continent will have experienced
extreme weather events. Not only the
but the oceans and seas and
CULTS that lie near the coasts. From
July to November the tropical hurri-
canes will claim our attention and our
readers may expect at least one of
these Caribbean storms for each of
those five months. One or two of these
may be expected in July.
The disturbance to cross the cont.
nent July to s will cause showers
in many places from coast to coast, a
few small sections being benefited by
heavy rains. Greatest rainfall and
most severe storms probably between
meridian 80 and the Atlantic coast. |
June will probably be afflicted with |
only one great storm period covering |

Square dancing, the Virginia reel,
and big barbecue were features of
the house warming which was given
lat the plantation OF Profs. R. F. Smith,

the festivities, which celebrated the
completion of the new and thoroughly
modern home erected on this planta-
ton.
The party from A. and NJ College
left the campus shortly after o'clock,
arriving at the plantation about three
hours later. An hour was spent in in
specting the new home, and at 1870
O'Clock the barbecue was served. Cam
pus ladies carried sandwiches, cakes.
etc, and this, with the barbecued pork
and mutton, made a feast fit for roy
atty.
After supper the house was thrown
open and real old-fashioned dancing
was the order of the evening. There
were square dances. Virginia reels,
round dances, and games "our
fathers and mothers" played. Many
from Wellborn and surrounding plan.
tations were present and assisted in
the merrymaking. Ice cream and cake
were served and at midnight the fiddler
nut away his instrument and some
few of the guests returned to the
college.
Dr. Ball, Prof. Smith and most of
the guests remained. however, and
