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

Damages of $50,000 each are asked
for the estates of two white men,

and $4,00 each for the deaths of the
21 negroes.

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.

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.
Orangeburg county farmers will
