Caesars Wounda-

In a paper read before the French
Academy of Medicine 1t was declared
that although Julius Caesar received
10 wounds when he was murdered only
one was fatal. The first blow produced
only slight wound, but the second,
which penetrated the walls Of the
thorax, was mortal. After the first
blows Caesar tainted and then bis as.
sailants struck at him repeatedly.

CUMMINGS WINS
PARTY HARMONY

Denver, Colorado, June 24.-Fac-
tional differences of a personal "a
ther than a political nature within
the Democratic party, which cost the
democracy the control of the United
States senate in the Congressional
elections last November, are being
eradicated as result of the tour
Homer S. Cummings, Chairman Of
the Democratic national committee,
is making of the middle Western and
Western States.
This fact is demonstrated by the
success of Mr.. Cummings harmonic
ing efforts in Missouri and Colorado,
the two States, normally Democratic,
which restored the Republicans to
power in the upper branch of Con-
gress. AS has previously been stated
in these dispatches Chairman Cum
mings in Missouri, and it may now
be said that he has laid the ground
work for future party tranquility in
Colorado.

plan for mutual cooperation. / am
convinced that it is necessary for us
to arouse public opinion in order
that we may have the most effective
possible enforcement of our laws,
for, as you we'll know, laws and their
enforcement are but expressions OF
the public's will. 1t seems to me that
a meeting of the sheriffs, the fore
men of the grand juries, the solici-
tor and certain others directly in
terested will result in much good.
We can, by working together, create
a public sentiment that will hold up
the law breaker as an enemy to
society. It is also necessary for the
State and county authorities and for
the authorities of the several coun-
ties to cooperate. Isolated effort,
while laudable, IS not effective as
a general effort. Should we all have
a common purpose, then each can in
culcate in his community a whole
some sentiment that will result in alb
solute vindication of the laws.
'I hope you will be able to attend
this conference. Please notify the
foreman of your grand jury of the
meeting and urge him, and any
others you care to designate, to be
present. The States welfare depends
upon the security and happiness of
it's individual citizens, and the securi-
ty and happiness of its citizens de-
pend upon the enforcement of law.
Your task is not an easy one, but you
can make it much easier, and make
the results of your effoffrts far more
satisfactory, if you can effect a
general demand among your consti-
tuents for the eradication of the men
who strike at the very roots of our
social system by defying the laws we
have made.
''I shall be glad to have any sug-
gestions you care to make, either in
writing before the conference or
verbally during the meeting"

TALK OF JUDG3SHIP
HEARD AT CAPITAL

Washington, June 24.-The feder-
al judgeship had another turn here
today when Horace L. Bomar and
Ben Hill Brown, attorneys of Spar
tanburg, came to Washington and
discussed the situation with Senator
Dial.
Mr.. Brown has been here before
in the interest of Judge Thomas S.
Sease, and again today made an ar
gument for his appointment.
Much has been heard here within
the last day or two concerning the
probability of this place going to
Judge Frank Gary, which would leave
a vacancy on the circuit court bench
of the State.
It is rumored that one of the best
known lawyers of South Carolina is
slated for the vacancy in the event
that Judge Gary should 60 higher.
John W. Kellett Of South Carolina
has been appointed deputy collec-
tor in the internal revenue service,
through the interest of Senator n.
B. Dial land will enter on his duties
in the near future. Mr.. Kellett will
be assigned to the staff Of. Revenue
Agent Vanderford.
Senator Dial has obtained from
Clarence Ousley assistant secretary
of agriculture, tentative promise
that the great interdepartmental
touring exhibit known as the victory
shows, which will be displayed in
Columbia at the State fair, shall be
shown also in Greenville on leaving
Columbia.
Mr.. Ousley's agreement is contin-
gent only on the provision Of suitable
housing and display facilities and
Greenville has in the Southern textile
hall perhaps the best building in the
South for the purpose. This exhibit
comprises a long train load Of dis
plays representing all the depart
ments and is undoubtedly the most
attractive and instructive collection,
which is available to American fairs.

invade the Eastern belt, and when
the record shall have been made for
the year it will show the heaviest
rainfall within decade at least.
It has paid the farmers to hold the
cotton crop of 1918. The outlook for
a good average crop before 1922
does not appear to the Dutch Wealth
er Prophet. The position of the earth
and the sum will not assume its reg
ular order before that time, and the
prospect is more for a famine than
large production in the meantime
in the cotton crop. The summit OF
high prices for the staple will not be
reached even when cotton goes to S5
cents, which it will do very soon.
The history of the cotton crop Is
only being repeated and also the po-
sition of the earth and sun. One hum
dred years ago cotton sold for 81
cents, and I am satisfied that: the
same meteorological phenomena
prevailed from 1912 to 1919 in re-
spect to the radiation of the suns
rays on the earth. The year 1916 Is
known as the year without a sum-
mer and frost occurred every month
in the year as far south as the paral-
lei 35 boundary of North and South
Carolina.)
Scientific authorities at Washing
ton in describing the immense spots
on the suns surface say that the oc-
currence of such a disturbance has
come three years in advance of the
usual period for its appearance. This
abnormal condition was discussed in
three column article in The State
nearly two years ago by the Dutch
Weather Prophet.-Columbia State.

COOPER SUMMONS
STATES SHERIFF'S

Columbia, June 25.-AH sheriff s
in South Carolina ,all solicitors and
all foremen of grand juries have
been requested by Governor Cooper
to assemble at the State House July
16 for the purpose of discussing law
enforcement.
In a letter which will soon be sent
to all sheriffs in the State, the gov
ernor calls attention to the violations
of the prohibition law and says sna'
"h appears, too, that the jail popula-
tion Of the State is increasing and
the homicide record is distressingly
large" The governor also calls at
+ention to the fact that after July l
the State will have new situation

The letter of the governor to the
sberiffs and solicitors is as follows:
"Complaints have come to me
from various sections of the State
indicating that the prohibition law Is $

THE DUTCH PROPHET SAYS

The fact no doubt appears that
1919 is not good year for cotton,
as was intimated in the forecast
made by the Dutch Weather Prophet
in February 6, when he promised
that in June he would make public
a private statement concerning the
size of the crop.
The forecast of February was to
the effect that excessive precipita-
ton would be the main cause Of a
shortage in the cotton crop in 1919.
The rains in February in Texas and
in March in the Eastern belt delayed
planting and the rains in May-the
heaviest since any month of May
since 18S8-interfered with planting
and cultivation throughout the cot
ton belt. While conditions in this re-
spect were not so serious in South
Carolina, the rains have continued in
all the other cotton States and today
(June 24th) we have a sample of
them in this State.
Thus in the domain of our next
door neighbor, the Georgia agricul-
tural department estimates from half
to two-thirds of a cotton crop for
that State on account of excessive
moisture, grassy fields and lack of
sufficient labor to cultivate the crop.
So hold to my February private
forecast and announce that the cot
ton crop of 1919 will be 10,419,1s0
bales.
Saturday, June 21, the longest day
in the year, was one of the hottest
days also of 1919. Notwithstanding
the rays of the sun beamed intensely
upon the earth, the sunshine was not
normal. The absence of radiation of
the suns rays was noticed by others
besides the Dutch Weather Prophet.
This abnormal condition has prevail
ed since the spring of 1917. It will
occupy too much time and space to
discuss here the scientific cause of
the absence but the direct and norm-
al cotact of the suns rays in this
particular are absolutely necessary
for the most successful production of
a fiber crop like cotton.
Some of the cause produced by
the lack of radiation are cool nights
and unreasonable periods of the day
for the occurrence of precipitation
80 far as the growth and proper
fruitage of the cotton plant is con-
cerned. Rains at night prevent the
formation of cotton blooms and also
rain before midday cause the cotton
blooms to droy. The same thing
applies to the normal development of
the shapes on the plant.
My forecasts for cool nights-at
least two distinct cool periods each
month-hold good for the summer.
Precipitation will also continue in
greater polume than for many years.
The area of excessive precipitation
which has prevailed largely in tho
Western cotton belt will eventually

Probably not one girl in a million would refuse an invitatio1 to have coffee with President Wilson,. If any one desired to find such a per son it would only be a matter of calling on Miss Francfort, of New York. for she is the girl in a million who did. Not only would she con- firm this statement, she would even tell you. as she did the writer, that twice did President Wilson offer her coffee. and twice she refused. Whereby one might imagine thar she simply may be obstinate. But this speculation would be wrong. To tell the truth. Miss Francfort does not believe in mixing pleasure with business, or business with pleasure. Even if President Wilson is the "kindest man." ard even if Miss Erancfort had the honor of super vising the telephone switchboard at the Murat Mansion in Paris, she con. sidered the testing of wires of far more importance than drinking cof- fee with the President

OMSK. Siberia, April 24.-Disin- clination of the peasant and the huntsman to part with the products of his land or of his hunt because he cannot buy needed manufactured articles with the money he would obtain therefor, is one of the chief causes of the commercial stagnation in Russia today. Clothing, boots, socks, tools, machinery, necessities for bis household he fain would ac- quire, but even pile of rubbles will not bring them to his door. They do not exist in Siberia.
