I plan for mutual cooperation. I am
I convinced that it is necessary for us
S to arouse public opinion in orderl
,, that we may have the most effective!
,! possible enforcement of our laws,!
I for, as you well know, laws and their
T0 1
1 enforcement are but expressions of(
j the public's will. It seems to me that!
a meeting of the sheriffs, the fore-!
men of the grand juries, the solici^
tor and certain others directly interested
will result in much good.
We can, by working together, create
t 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 counj
J ties to cooperate. Isolated effort,
while laudable, is not effective as
>n
a general effort. Should we all have
.a common purpose, then each can inculcate
in his community a wholesome
sentiment that will result in ab
IC I
I solute vindication of the laws.

THE DUTCH PROPHET SAYS
18 The fact no doubt appears that
>e 1919 is not a good year for cotton,
b* as was intimated in the forecast
ie made by the Dutch Weather Prophet
a" in February 6, when he promised i
that in June he would make oublic!
ft- -a private statement concerning thej
size of the crop.
7 The forecast of February 6 was to
7- the effect that excessive precipita?
tion would be the main cause of a
to shortage in the cotton crop in 1919.
7 The rains in February in Texas and
in March in the Eastern belt delayed
: planting and the rains in May?the
x" heaviest since any month of May
since 1888?interfered with planting
^ and cultivation throughout the cotton
belt. While conditions in this respect
were not so serious in South
Carolina, the rains have continued in
>r* all the other cotton States and todayj
(June 24th) we have a sample of
them in this State.
>y Thus in the domain .of our next
^ door neighbor, the Georgia agricult0
tural department estimates from half
T~ to two-thirds of a cotton crop for
that State on account of excessive
^ moisture, grassy fields and lack of
at sufficient labor to cultivate the crop.
;i" So I hold to my February private
forecast and announce that the cotton
crop of 1919 will be 10,419,180
n" bales.
>r" Saturday, June 21, the longest day
a* in the year, waff one of the hottest
k? days also of 1919. Notwithstanding
tiie rays of the sun beamed intensely
upon the earth, the sunshine was not
normal. The absence of radiation of
the sun's rays was noticed by others
besides the Dutch Weather Prophet.
This abnormal condition has prevailed
since the spring of 1917. It will
occupy too much time and space to J
* I discuss here the scientific cause of |
j the absence but the direct and norm-1
I al cotact of the sun's rays in this'
I particular are absolutely necessary j
for the most successful production of j
a fiber crop like cotton.
Some of the cause produced byi
the lack of radiation are cool niyhtsj
and unseasonable periods of the dayi
for the occurrence of precipitation I
so far as the growth and proper:
fruitage of the cotton plant is con-|
cerned. Rains at night prevent thel
formation of cotton blooms and also
Irain before midday cause the cotton i
blooms to droy. The same thing;
applies to the normal development of i
the shapes on the plant.
I 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 the
jj Western cotton belt will eventually
invade the Eastern belt, and when D?
the record shall have been made for J as
the year it will show the heaviest] br
rainfall within a decade at least. in
It has paid the farmers to hold thej bo
cotton crop of 1918. The outlook for tic
a good average crop before 1922 th<
does not appear to the Dutch Weath- ari
er Prophet. The position of the earth cai
and the sum will not assume its reg- sal
ular order before that time, and the
prospect is more for a famine than Wa
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 35
er
cents, which it will do very soon. j
The history of the cotton crop is .
only being repeated and also the pofirw
sition of the earth and sun. One hundred
years ago cotton sold for 32 ^
cents, and I am satisfied that the .
same meteorological phenomena
mc
prevailed from 1812 to 1819 in recot
spect to the radiation of the sun's
rays on the earth. The year 1816 W
known as the year without a sum- .
mer and frost occurred every month ^
in the year as far south as the parallel
35 (boundary of North and South
till
Carolina.) m?
Scientific authorities at Washing
7 ar<
ton m describing the immense spots
on the sun's surface say that the oc- .
, tei
currence of such a disturbance has
come three years in advance of the
usual period for its appearance. This ^
abnormal condition was discussed in
a three column article in The State ^
nearly two years ago by the Dutch _
atr
Weather Prophet.?Columbia State.
TALK OF JUDG3SHIP
HEARD AT CAPITAL ^
Washington, June 24.?The federal
judgeship had another turn here
today when Horace L. Bomar and
Ben Hill Brown, attorneys of Spartanburg,
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 argument
for his appointment.
Much has been heard here within i
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 go higher.
John W. Kellett of South Carolina
has been appointed a deputy collector
in the internal revenue service,
through the interest of Senator N.
B. Dial ,and 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, a tentative promise

Columbia at the State fair, shall be

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,
j which is available to American fairs.

CUMMINGS WINS
PARTY HARMONY
Denver, Colorado, June 24.?Factional
differences of a personal rather
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 a 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 01 Mr. i/ummmgs iuuuivuuing
efforts in Missouri and Colorado,
the two States, normally Democratic,
which restored the Republicans to
power in the upper branch of Congress.
As has previously been stated
in these dispatches Chairman Cummings
in Missouri, and it may now
be said that he has laid the ground
work for future party tranquility in
Colorado.

of personal ambitions or the
