As an aftermath of the drowning of 21 negroes and two white men when a truck ran into an open drawbridge through a barrier at Georgetown last August, suits have been filed against the state highway department for a total of 1184,000. Damages of $50,000 each are asked for the estates of two white men, the driver of the truck and hi* son, and $4,00 each for the deaths of the 21 negroes. J. G.

IL Fle'-c.her's signature, BJgfjgffMn Snows this Winter Seen For This State 1 he annual autumn and winter forecast of the D^ch Weather Prophet is about ten days overdue. However, he said yesterday that the forecast as based upon observations of meteorological phenomena of the period beginning June I, and ending September 29, shows that so far as precipitation for 1931-32 is concerned there need be no fear that the dry weather of September, 1931-which has broken all records within his memory of <16 years?will be repeated in any month during 1 932. It will be a year of sufficient rainfall for the production of all kinJs of crops, "It will he remembered in this forecast of October 1st, 1931, it was predicted that the drought regions of Arkansas, Virginia and Maryland, which also included Kentucky, would he blessed with abundant rainfall so tliat ull products would be increased many fold over 1930. Reports from those sections indicate the fulfillment of that forecast," he said, "with Arkansas having vegetables to sell and in the Shenand'oah the Virginia apple crop, more than four million bushels this year, where it was more than a million last year with ail other crops produced in similar abundance. "Farmers last year in Maryland did not gather much more than a few bushels of eorn to the acre. Conditions for rainfall of. 1931-32 will prevuil likewise?if anything, more abundant than 1930-31?the physicul year beginning September 22 (each year) and the seven days ending with September 29th, being one of the most significant periods in the calendar. "So I wonder if any one," he asked, "can see the significance of these dates and the beginning of the Hebrew new year? The Dutch Weatner Prophet leaves this inquiry to the imagination of the reader. He believes there is a very important significance?upon which lie bases these annual forecasts. "It is somewhat unusual that so many abundant fruit crops should follow each other successively as has been the case in recent years. So the Dutch Weather Prophet is apprehensive that it is about time for this record to bo broken. Forecast for the fruit crop of 1932 is not embraced herein and it will not be made the forecast until next February or March. "Frost of severe character is due around November 13th, as the central date (which means the week of November 10 to 17). "Observations of the Dutch Weather Prophet indicate the winter of 1931-32 will be colder than last year, with snows varying in number from two to four in the territory south and each of the Blue Ridge section of the state, together with frequent flurries. It is probable that all these snows will occur in Columbia and vicinity or at least two snows to the certainty. 1 hey will, not be small in quantity. "C omparing the coming winter with last year's conditions, it will be recalled that some of the snow of December 14, 1930, lay upon the ground 18 days and the remarkable feature of that snowfall is the fact that the ground was not frozen when it occurred. The same conditions existed [in the northern' part of the state, ex[ cept ine ground mignt nave Deen frozen there where the snow was 14 inches in depth. This winter the ground will he-frozen more or less when snow occurs. "The migration southward of wild fowl, including ducks and geese, has been observed earlier this season than usual, indicating that fall temperatures are due, as in the present period. A certain observer of wild geese flying south about October 5th, made the observation that no cold weather was then prevailing in I northern latitude, and he did not j understand the southward migration ot that Hock of wild fowl. However, witrm tour days temperature dropped "1 deg in 21 hours in latitudes ; east ol the Rockies. "Severe winiv- and hard times i > are no doubt twin -i>ters. ~ Sheriff Herbert F.

H. Harris, Treas. Highway patrolmen have begun to turn their attention to wagons without lights and now war on them is declared. Farmers are hauling on the highways more than usual at this time of the year. A wagon requires a light visible from both front and rear, or a tail light and a light in front. On the highway between Lancaster and Kershaw are intermittent middle-of-the-road markres, on every fourth section of the road?every 40 feet is marked and the next 120 feet is not. This kind of marking extends all the way from Lancaster to Kershaw and it was the first marking of its kind to be made in the state on straight stretches of road. Heretofore only curves and hills have had center marks, but it is possible that all roads will be so marked in the future. It is said that such marking aids a driver considerably at night.

Former Governor Dead at Edgefield Edgefield, Oct. 19.?While thousands of ?outh Carolinians mourned his death, former Governor John Calhoun Sheppnrd was buried here today in the city where he spent most of his life. In poor health for 10 years, Mr. Sheppard, in his 82nd year, died at his home Saturday of a cerrebral hemorrhage. Hundreds of public officials and prominent men were among the ' throng that gathered to pay final tribute to the distinguished .South Carolinian. Floral tributes were sent by Governor Blackwood, the State Senate, the State of South Carolina, and scores of other institutions, organizations and individuals. The first highway patrolman to be killed is Ralph Waldo McCracken, whose motorcycle crashed into a mail carrier's automobile parked on the side of the road near Carlisle. He was on his way from Chester to Co- ( lumbia to join the detachment going to the Yorktown celebration, and the crest of a hill hid the parked ear on the left side of the road, where it had gone to a mail box while cars behind it filled the right side of the road. The coroner's verdict was unavoidable accident. McCracken was said by his superior officer, Lieutenant Wilkes, of this district, to be one of the best patrolmen in the state, and other general officers of the highway department law enforcement bureau praised him highly. He; was a native of Branchville and was living in Columbia. He had served j in Chester, Dillon, Columbia and Spartanburg before being ordered to Union. He was 28 years old and i leaves a widow, two small daughters, his parents, two sisters and two brothers.
