COLD WAVE COMING LAST OF OCTOBER Dutch Weather Prophet Says That Ruini is Due Now, Much of It. Snow Later. The liutch Prophet has made his annual winter weather forecast under date of today from Columbia. Of gen cral interest and general displeasure is hi> r diction of a real cold wave abomr. the last week in O0lober and plemy of rain diring the w' inter. le :tlio a her' will be folr snows .-wuth of th-llweRd e .\i. Ho al foreca.st is .iven ini full e w: l y annual forecast of temperaturo and precipitation is die to be made at th is dale. I have selc'ted the last wek in September for this special forocast because the physical year be gins during the last week in Septem ber. Thirefore, it is not an accident: that we find one of the oldest peoples in civilized human activities observ ing this period as the beginning of a new year. I refer to 'ie Jews. who thus observe the feast of their new year by direct command of Jehovah. - It may be that it is an acciden't that other weather forecasters (the long distance kind, if you please) have made the same discovery in reference to a peculiar relation of this period September 22-29-to the weather which is to follow during the winter and also by close observation around the winter solstice period one can v!Ty his foredasts farther into the succeeding spring and summer. Precipitation will be abundant dur ing the winter. It will include at least four snows of more than ordi nary character which 'will prevail south and east of the Blue Ridge mountains and reach down at least to the ".Ird parallel. An area of precipitation is due iml mediately upon the publication of this forecast. which is dated September 29. The latter part of October will see the beginning of the area of more abundant precipitation which will ex tend from the gulf to the lakes and from the Rocky -Mountains to the Gulf of St. Lawrence. I made the forecast that the precip itation for 1919 would be apProx imately 70 inches In the South Atlantic states. It had reached 42 inches or more in Newberry county on Septem ber 1 and in the Edisto valley at least ten inches additional. More is to come in November and December. Frost is due around October 16, (central date).

New conditions confront the 'Dutch Weather Prophet" in the pe ::uliar rielations which the earth now bears to the sun, and to which these roreca.- have heretofore referred. A lack of cohesiveness exists between he various elements -which form the arth's atmosphere as controlled by the radiation of the sun's rays. The Atra violet ray is important element >f the earth's atmosphere which was iiscovered only about 15 years ago. Together with the Influence of the moon, the ultra violet ray has pretty much all to do whether or not a kill ing frost will occur as early this year as October 16. However, freezing tenperature may be expected during fair week, October 25-31. During 15 years that these forecasts havo predit.tee killint, frosts at long range 10 m (A0 days ahead of their oc currence, it is only necessary to refer to the files of The State, The News and Couri'.r and the Newberry Ob s-rver to prove the accuracy of my long distance frost forecasts. For in stan-ce 60 tlays ahead of time, I pre dicted a killing frost for October 11, 1906, midway between parallel 34 and 35. At Newberry in this locality, the temperatur- on that morning was 31 degrees. This and other light and killing frosts on same latitude occur red during the ten years, 1900 to 1910.

THE FARMER AND THE PLUMB PLAN FOR RAILROAD CONTROL (From Kansas City Weekly Star.) The American farmer is peculiarly I concerned in the problem of cheap railroad trans)ortation. He neces sarily lives at a distance from the large manufacturing centers. Every thing he sells and almost everything he buys is hauled over the railroads. I'ow will the Plumb plan of railroad management affect the farmer? The farmer is asked to help buy the railroads from the present owners and then turn then) over to the railorad employees to manage. If there is any profit the farmeri will not share in It. But it thero should he a loss, he must help mako it .good. In any event his taxes will be inerensed to pay interest on the railroad purchase bonds. Half of the profits, to be sure, are to go to the government. But these are to be used in extension and bet terments which are expected to in crease the roads' earning power. In reality, the direct proflts all go to the employees. Where the public, includ ing the farmer, comes In, according to the plan's advocates, is in the lower freight and passenger rates that are ;promised. The question is whether these bright promises will be fulfilled. It will be recalled that at the beginning of the government railroad administration promises were lavish. Fulfillment has been at a discount. Under the proi)osed plan ten of the fifteen directors who atw' to be in i'Mustry whieli atvi& fall bacid charge of the roads, would come- from on Vh public tresUi IA times of the employees-five to be elected by stre$.. the operating officials find fhoe by the classifled employds.
