OFFIOIAL FORECASTS ~
FURNISHED WEEKLY
Beginning With Our Issue of
Last Week April
22nd.
KNOW A WEEK AHEAD,
For the Benefit of Farmers and
Shippers of Trucking
Products.
Washington, D. C., April 27.?A
new weekly weather forecast designed
especially to aid farmers in planning
their farm operations and shippers
of perishable products to handle
their goods with reference to unexpected
weather conditions, was inaugurated
by the United States Weather
Bureau on April 20 and will be com ,
tinned during- the crop season. In order
to have these weekly forecasts
reach the farmers and shippers in
small towns with the least possible
delay, the bureau also has arranged
a system whereby the forecasts will
be taken Tuesday and reach the week
ly newspapers, especially in the corn,
wheat and cotton districts, by mail
on Wednesday morning which will
be in time for the greater number
of them to use the information in
their editions. In this way it is believed
that the forecasts for the weel
commencing Wednesday morning will
be in the hands of most of the farmers
and shippers in the small towns
through the medium of the weekly
newspapers, Wednesday night, Thursday,
or Friday?thus giving them the
benefit of from 6 to 4 days of ad
vance forecasts.
The forecasts will be prepared at
Washington'on Tuesday morning and
will cover the week commencing Wed
nesday. They will be telegraphed to
the State distributing centers of the
weather Bureau wher they will be immediately
printed and put in the mails
to reach the weekly papers in the territory
of each station early Wednesday,
or in time for insertion by the
vast majority 01 mem. it is expected
that these forecasts will be ready
for mailing from the distributing centers
by 3:00 or 4:00 each Tuesday. In
case mail facilities are not such as to
insure their receipt in time to be used
by the papers, the forecasts will be
telegraphed to editors, when so desired,
at press rates, at their expense.
As a rule the messages will contain
from 20 to 40 words.
The daily papers which take press
association services wil 1 secure the
forecasts by wire through the several
press associations, which have volunteered
to cooperate in its distribution.
The districts included in the distribution
scheme, and the centers
from which the forecasts will be mailed,
are as follows:
DISTRICT: South Atlantic and
East Gulf States.

OBITUARY.
In Loving Remembrance of Our Dear
Father, S. N. Moore.
On last Saturday afternoon, April
the 17th. 1915. about 1*00 uVlrwk tl-.r*
Death Angel visited the home of Mrs
I. Mc. Martin and took from her her
loving father, Mr. S. N. Moore. He
leaves five children, two boys and
three girls, Mr. A. A. Moore of Arkansas,
Mr. D H. Moore of Jordanville,
Mrs M. Connor of Conway, Mrs
Lolia E. Martin of Jordanville, Mrs
George Martin of Florida, and a host
of sorrowing friends to mourn the
loss of the one so dear.
Pie was in bad health for quite
awhile. But was not in bed at all before
he died. He was up going around
just a few minutes before God called
him home. He passed off quietly,
making only about two struggles. He
said his peace was made with God
and that he was ready to go at anytime.
Papa was a member of the Baptist
church and always had believed in
t ho Baptist faith, and tried to live a
Christian up to his death. He was
born January 8, 1842 and departed
this life April 17, 1915, being seventy
three years, three months and nino
days old. His remains were laid to
rest at Juniper May cemetery, Sunday
about 8 o'clock. Quite a number
of friends were there to see the last
of him. Only three of his children
survived him to the grave.
Sleep on, Dear papa,
And take thy rest;
God called you home?
His ways are best.
In Heaven we hope to meet you,
Where parting comes no more;
What a joy again to greet you
On that eternal shore.
You arc gone, but not forgotten,
Never will your memory fade;
Sweetest thoughts will ever linger
Around the grave where you arc
laid.
A percious one from us is gone,
A voice we loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home
Which never can be filled.
His loving daughter,
MRS. ELLEN CONNOR.

tion of Law Enforcement V
Campaign I
NO-OPEN DEFIANCE I
Believes He Has Made Good I
Progress in Enforcement Of $ A
Law in Charleston M
rw
Columbia, April 22.?"When you fl
I consider that we weire ordered by you
suddenly to uproot something that I
was interwoven into the web of the
life of a community, 1 can honestly ^
say that we have accomplished a
great deal," said John P. Grace, may- iH
or of Charleston, in a telegram to Gov H
ernor Manning yesterday, replying to AH
a request I om the governor for in
formation as to the progress of the ^^3
law enforcement campaign. Mayor
Grace expresses the opinion that conditions
have materially improved. He 4 I
says that many prominent places
where whiskey was sold have closed
their doors.
The telegram from Mayor Grace to
Governor Manning follows:
"I am reliably advised by the chief
of police that great strides have been
ma le in the direction of complete law WM
enforcement.
"First, all forms of gambling, in- 4
eluding slot machines, lotteries and
regular gambling houses, have been
banished so far as is possible to
banish them fro mthe city of Charleston,
and whenever we hear in any
case of any disposition by any one to
peep out in violation of the law MH
against gambling we immediately
*akc steps to stop it. jj^H
"The liquor situation, however, is
different. You ask me for a state- ^Hj
meat of what plages have been closjd.

[jiutf up r.ttx'pi oy ci rciusai to issue
a licence to do business of any kind.
A" ho re a business, such as the lie I
business, is run in violation of law, I
the city has no power by any process ^BJ
that I know of to close a place up,
nor has any law enforcing power in jmB
State any su 'h power. <^K|
"Nothwithstanding this, the temp< r v
if the methods that we have adopted
has compelled many places of promiricncc
voluntarily to close rather than
risk the odium and tumult attached wBB
to the constant raiding by the po- ^ Rfl
lice. I mention particuarly both ho- ^^B
tels. Many other places that had m
been flagrantly, by bold fronts and
otherwise, violating the law have been ? /i^^B
driven at least to cover, and until, '^^B
on the whole, the sale of liquor in '^^B
Charleston, if carried on at all now, m I
is not being carried on with any open
defiance of law. I can not tell you
conscientiously that in the city of
Charleston no liquor is being sold I
against the law. If you have been
advised that anywhere outside the
city of Charleston any better efforts I
have been made, all things consider-^^^^^^Hfl
ed, than we have made in the city
Charleston, or that there is a
where liquor not being sold, I lijfl I
nothing to say but to express

feel justified saying that within
