WEATHER OF 100 YEARS
AGO MAY REPEAT ITSELF
THERE WAS SNOW AND FROST
in THE MONTHS OF JUNE,
JULY AND AUGUST.

The theory that meteorological
phenomena repeat themselves in eye
les is advocated by certain students
of weather of the past of the United
States, particularly the weather of
that section included in the intem-
perate zone of New York and the
New England states. Basing his point
of view on the phenomenally cool
weather of this June, as recorded up
to date, Abraham Wakeman, secre-
tary of committee of several patri-
otto and historical societies of New
York, writes about the marvellous
summer weather of 100 years ago,
intimating that the cycle of icicles
may be celebrating its centenary
pretty soon.
Just 100 years ago, he says, came
the great cold summer" There
were IS inches of snow in certain
sections in June, ice in July and
frosts in August, and the crops were
ruined The newspapers of the day,
Mr.. Wakeman writes, "give accounts
of the weather conditions that seem
almost incredible" For instance,
the Salem IN. W Gazette of June
II, 1916, said:
cat 10 o'clock on Saturday morn
ing we had slight snow. On Sun
day morning ice was drawn from the
we'll at the toll house on the turnpike
after sunrise, and there was frost
again on Sunday evening. A gentle
man arrived in town from a journey
said that in the upper part of this
state on Saturday large icicles form
ed and the foliage in the forests was
plated with frost"
The Albany Argus of June 18th,
1916, reported snowfalls the week
before and a temperature below 81,
the freezing point, two or three
times. The diary of John |. Bal
come, of Ticonderoga, said that on
July 4, 1916, "there was ice as thick
as window glass" on many ponds In
New York, and that august was the
worst of all, and snow fell more or
less the entire month" The New
York Spectator of July ~, 1916, re-
marked "Our friends from the
country inform us that on Monday
morning frost was visible in the low
lands. The cool weather of the four
or five days past has given check
to vegetation. Accounts from Maine,
New Hampshire and Vermont are
melancholy"

.SPUDS WILL TASTE
LIKE CANTALOUPES
GRAPEFRUIT WILL BE PICKED
LIKE CHERRIES WHEN NEW
SECRET is DISCOVERED.

The day is coming soon when pOta-
toes dug from the ground will taste
like cantaloupes, grapefruit will be
plucked from the trees like cherries,
and the Sahara desert will bloom like
a rose garden. Such was the predic-
ton made by Howard Dean, professor
of chemistry at Park College, Park
vile, Mo-, speaking before the Mis-
souri, Valley Horticultural Society.
Prof. Dean said he already had
succeeded in reducing the starch of a
potato to sugar through chemical
treatment. He asserted that by feed
ing certain plants on formaldehyde
they can be made to develop sugar
and starch.
He said that investigations now be-
ing made by chemists show that
plants manufacture compounds that
are not normal to them. These inves-
legations, he said, are being contin-
used, and chemists are diligently
searching the leaves of plants in an
attempt to find the agent which con-
verts the carbon dioxide in the air
and the moisture into plant products.
When the secret is discovered
and of it's early discovery he is con-
fident-he said he would possess an
unlimited source of energy. The
point he brought out was that the
possession of that secret would ena-
Bile man to convert the suns energy
to his own use in any way he de-
sires.
Then it would be possible, he as
serted, to fill the Sahara desert with
plant life; to grow any plant so that
it would taste exactly as its grower
wished. He also said, in answer to
question, that it would be possible to
raise grapefruit with the bitterness
removed. Fruits, he added, could be
raised so they would taste just as the
grower desired.

INCONSISTENCIES ARE
Buster THAN EVER
Illicit Distilleries Running on a Big
ger Scale in North Georgia Than
Ever Before.


ATLANTA.-United States reve-
nue. officers returning to Atlanta
from raids in North Georgia report
that moonshine distilleries are run
ming on bigger scale than ever be-
fore.
They attribute the increased out
put of white lightning to the fact
that Georgia's new prohibition laws
have rendered the state a parching
desert.
There is said to be a regular sup
ply line running from mountains to a
suburban town on the edge of At
lanta, where the trolley cars run, and
citizens suffering with thirst are
said to make the journey to the SUI
burb every Saturday afternoon and
lay in a supply of mountain dew to
run them for a week.
Recently, however, the county po-
lice of Fulton county and the United
States revenue officers have seriously
interfered from time to time with the
flow of the mountain dew, and on
these occasions the thirsty pilgrims
have been hardly able to make it
back to town, so great was their suf-
fering.

The Owner May Soon Have to Use

The Owner May Soon Have to Use
Ariship to Harvest Fruit.
When A. D. Campbell of Los An
geles, Cal, picks his tomatoes he uses
a ten-foot stepladder; and from 10
foot elevation he can scarcely reach
to the top of his vines. He antici-
pates that next year he may be fore
ed to use a Zeppelin, or some other
type of aircraft, to aid his harvesting.
His vines this year attained height
of more than IS feet, and he's grow
ing them taller each year. His neigh
bors are beginning to wonder if he
is trying to keep his tomatoes out Of
their reach. Anyway, if you ask any
of them what kind of tomatoes Mr..
Campbell grows they reply that they
consider them as belonging to the
safety first" variety. Nevertheless,
they seem to be quite proud of him,
for they have honored him with the
title of Tomato King.
Mr.. Campbell lays no claim what
ever to being a Burbank, nor does ne
use any certain kind of tomato for his
experiments. "The growing of vines
as tall as mine," he declares, lis all
a matter of training. You cannot
teach an old dog new tricks, but you
can teach a young tomato vine to do
almost anything if you have the pa
tienee."

ing Lieutenant Colonel Rivas out to
confer with Captain Boyd. A parley,
at which | was interpreter, was held
in the center of the field. The Mex
lean officer told Captain Boyd that
his orders were that Americans
could not advance south, east or
west. Captain Boyd then asked for a
personal interview with General Go
mez. This was granted.
General Gomez reiterated the in
formation given by his subordinate
and returned to his lines. A few
minutes later, almost simultaneously,
both commands formed in lines of
skirmish. Then a detachment of Car
rama troops ran around our left
flank, apparently to surround us. We
found ourselves in the center of a
line of Mexicans stretching in a
horseshoe-like curve about US. Then
the firing began.
81 don't know who began it, but
from the center of the horseshoe a
Mexican machine gun poured hail
of bullets at us, while from the point
of the curve on our left flank anoth-
err was firing at US"
''If Captain Boyd had orders to go
through Carrizal to Villa Ahumada
he demonstrated that he was very
brave man and that he would make
every effort to carry out his orders.
If he did not have orders to go
through to Villa Ahumada he behav-
ed very foolishly."
Received Courteous Treatment.
Spillsbury and the prisoners as
serted that they had received nothing
but courteous treatment at the hands
of the Mexican soldiery, pointing out
that every effort was made to control
the infamed civil populace of several
towns who offered them bodily harm.
They were stoned, they said, at Villa
Ahumada when they were put on the
train.
They were confined in individual
cells in the Chihuahua penitentiary,
Spillsbury said, but throughout the
DAYS they were allowed the liberty of
a small patio, where they gathered
and talked over their chances for
freedom.

NEW JERSEY SPENDS VAST
SUM WARNING ON MOSQUITO
Appropriation of $4,000 to Fight
Pest in Three Counties.

New Jersey is actively on the war
path this year against the mosquito.
The present season in the work
opened with Hudson, Bergen, Essex,
Union and Atlantic counties making
an effort to control the breeding of
all species of mosquitoes within their
confines.
Combined these counties cover an
area of 1,154 square miles, of which
128 square miles, or 82,215 acres, are
salt marsh. The combined appropri-
alton for the war against the singing
pest in these counties is $4,000,
which represents ten cents for each
individual of population or ten cents
for each $1,000 of taxable lands.

GOOLSBYS WILL
BE TRIED IN EARLY
Murder Case Decision Sustained in
Unusual Manner. High Court
Could Not Agree.

The unusual situation has arisen
in the state>supreme court wherein a
decision of the lower court is sus-
tanned not through a decision of the
court of review, but because the high
court could not reach a decision.
The case of Ulysses and Mike
Goolsby, of Early county, was APP
pealed from the superior court on a
motion for change of venue. The
defendants were charged with muir
der, and were kept in the tower in
Atlanta for time because of the
sentiment following the alleged
murder. When the case came on for
hearing counsel for defense moved
for change of venue and cited the
allegation that threats were made to
lynch the prisoners, holding that they
could not get a fair trial. Judge
Worrill, who presided, overruled the
motion, and appeal was taken to the
supreme court. Upon consideration
of the appeal three members of the
higher court were in favor of the APP
peal and three opposed to it. By oper-
alton of the law, therefore, the judg-
ment of the lower court stands af-
firmed, and that record is made on
the minutes and comes down as a
ruling.
The Goolsbys are sons of the ne
gro who was mobbed in Early county
for killing a young white farmer:
Several negro lodges were burned
and other sensational incidents oc-
c11rred at the time.

FIGHT PROMISED
OVER BIG ESTATE
Columbus Woman Appears on Scene
as Claimant For Property of the
Late Abner Gore.


The estate of the late Abner Gore,
of near Benevolence, in Randolph
county, who has relatives in Dawson
and is we'll known here, may become
entangled in a regular court proceed
ing before final adjustments are
made. Up until few days ago the
administrators and heirs of the es-
tate were of the opinion that all mat
tiers were in such shape that the es-
tate could be administered and closed
in a brief time and all heirs receive
their proportion of the properties
without any court proceedings, but
now a new state of affairs has de-
veloped A few days ago deeds were
recorded by a Columbus woman
which tend to show that she is the
lawful owner of the two houses and
all adjoining lots of the estate in
Richland. The woman also holds
notes and papers given by the late
Mr.. Gore as rent notes for the prop
critics as if the woman had leased the
property to Mr.. Gore instead of him
owning it as was generally supposed.
The heirs and administrators claim
that the deeds recorded are forger-
les. The deeds, notes and contracts
bear date upon them of few days
prior to the death of Mr.. Gore. 1t
will be remembered that he became
i'll while in Columbus and died few
DAYS after arriving at his home.
The outcome of the entangled af-
fair will be watched with much in
