UNION, S. C., JULY 7, 1905.
THE 4th OP JULY.
This is a day held sacred and
dear to the heart of every patriotic
American born citizen. While
South Carolina was one <?f the original
lo States, yet she has never
l?een among the entlnistastie eelehrators
of the day of national indep
ndenee, a fact wo presume due to
her cherishing a greater State, than
national pride, valuoing as she has
ever done, her state soverigntv
al>ovc national allegiance, notwithstanding
the day is not only revered
as the anniversary of the declaration
of independence, hut also
sacred to the memory of those patriots
who fought and died for free
ilotn mid fim.-uuiuonai imcny aim
to sustain and perpetuate tlio principles
of the declaration. The
South has never lieen demonstrative
in matters of public observance
of national anniversaries. The new
South into which a new and different
element in feeling resulting from
an influx of a new population has
changed somewhat and the Fourth
of July is more generally celebrated
as independence day. It has been
said by some that the third of July
was rather more worthy or rather
wgs the day to he celebrated by the
people, that being the day on which
the real work of writing and agrceing^to
by the people of the declaration
of independence, but it was on
the-fth that the declaration was
really published to the world. The
publication of the declaration of independence
awoke the people to a
full sense of their rights and aroused
them to the point of opposing and
resenting the oppression of England.
And the ery of give us liberty or
death was echoed throdgh the land
and the clash of arms and years of
hard struggle for freedom and final
triamph made the declaration of independence
mean to people all that
was intended that it should, and today
its meaning is fully appreciated.
SENATOR TILLMAN TALKS.
Although Senator Tillman lias remained
comparatively quiet and had
nothing for publication either on
politics or the dispensary since his
speech at GafTney, we felt reasonably
certain that when suflicicntly
urged lie would have something t?
say. In his letter to Mr. F. W.
iligginson, of Newberry, in reply to
and complying with a request from
Mi4, iligginson to give his present
views on the status of the dispense
ry in the face of the opposition to
the system hy the people in seeking
hy vote to shut up the dispensary
in their town. Senator Tillman
sticks to his original text that the
dispensary system is the best way to
handle liquor in South Carolina.
He says the system is as near perfect
as i>ossible. but the trouble has
Is'cn in the management. He admits
that there has been corrupt
dealings in its management, that
the law as it stands upon the statutes
has not been faithfully and to
the letter carried out, that is not
the fault of the system, hut of those
who had the carrying out of the law
in their hands. That it has grown
unpopular with the people is owing
to this very fact. He contends that
the towns should not vote out the
dispensary, if the people i?f the
State want to alndish the dispensary
it should lie left to the entire
people. In our editorial last week
on local option we indicated as
much, feeling that local option in
certain communities was a dangerous
weapon to put into the hands
of the jH'ople. He does not believe
in putting the sale of whiskey into
the hands of the people upon the
high license principle, for this would
have the effect to place the sale of
whiskey in the hands of a few rich
men. thereby creating a monopoly.
He is not willing for the people to
mono|>oli/.e the whiskey; hut wants
the State to keep up her monopoly.
He insists that the system is alright
and should remain in the hands of
the State, that good men can he
g >t to carry out the law. He says
if the dispensary he abolished by
the people and any other system of
whiskey selling contemplated he
will stump the State for prohibition,
notwithstanding he knows that in
Maine and Kansas where prohibition
lias been for many years a dismal
failure. Hi* blames the legis"
lature and says there are yet some
detects tn the law, that what cluing"
os the legislature has made has done
no good towards bettering the management.
lie contends that the
State should control the sale of liq1
nor and that the sale should have
just such restrictions as would reduce.
the sale to a minimum of nccssity
for its use rather than as a
beverage and profit, that this can be
done under the dispensary system
and not otherwise, even by prohibition
legislature. These are not his
words but the substance. Wearo not
making any light along this line,
but are leaving it for the people to
decide.
Forecasts for Julv. 1905.
r.Y HKV. iRl. It. 1IICKS.
|The forecasts of Rev. Irl R.
llicks are copyrighted by Word and
Works Publishing Co., and kindly
notice is hereby given that all
rights are reserved. It is a manifest
injustice to Prof. Hicks to make
these forecasts common property ]
The storm diagram accompanying
those forecasts shows that a
Mars disturbance is central on the
7th and that its influence extends
over the whole of .July. We repeat
what we have said in our Almanac
and in previous issues of Word and
Works concerning the problematical
results of this Mars period. The
regular and reactionary storm
periods for July will all show more
or less perturbations, so that barometric
and other phenomena will
indicate that the regular forces ordinarily
producing fluctuations of
storm and weather arc present and
at work. But in a general way,
sections which were having an excess
of rains and storms the latter
part of June may expect much the
same state of things at the July
storm periods; while sections which
wore experiencing dry, not weather
may reasonably count on a marked
degree of hot and drouthy weather.
We enter July in the midst of a
regular storm period which is central
on the 2nd, extending to the
5th. A wave of extreme summer
warmth will reach a crisis on and
about the 2nd, the barometer will
fall and many storms and gusts of
rain, wind and thunder will pass
estwardly across the country from
the 2nd to the 5th. Itising barometer,
change to cooler, westerly winds
and clearing Weather will follow out
of the west-northwest in the wake
of these storms.
At the reactionary storm period
central on the 7th, 8th and 9th,
there is great probability that we
will enter upon a period of prolonged
disturbance. This is indicated
by the extended Vulcan brace,
blended with those of Mercury and
Mars in the storm diagram. After
storms on the 7th and 8th and 9th,
change to cooler, fair weather may
result, but the chances are good
that continued cloudy and threatening
conditions will prevail until we
enter the regular Vulcan storm
period which is central on the 14th.
Normally this period would extend
from about the 12th to the Kith,
but under the combined influences
of Mars and Mercury these normal
limits will most likely be overleaped.
During all.this time, in sections
where storms and rains do not
dominate the weather, sustained
beat and hurtful dryness will lx>.
prolonged. A crisis of storm and
abnormal weather will be experienced
almut the 1 1th to Kith inclusive,
after which rising barometer
and change to cooler will come
to myst parts.
On and touching the 20th, 21st
ami 22ml reactionary storm forces
will again make themselves felt,
causing very high temperature,
falling barometer ami return of
threatening weather and storms.
We wish it distinctly understood
that "threatening weather," attended
by many actual and severe
storms is altogether possible at any
of the storm periods in July, without
appreciable or satisfying rainfalls.
At all events, the rainfalls
will most likely be concentrated in
special and limited areas, leaving
wide districts misapplied with
proper quantities of moisture.
The Vulcan storm period, central
on the '2")th, covers the 23rd to
27th. The temperature will rise to
another climax of warmth during
the first days of tnis period, the
barometer will fall at the same
time, all culminating in threatening
gusts and storms on and touching
the 2">th, 2(?th and 27th. Many
of these July periods will bring
violent, local hail storms to many
sections in the middle to northwestsrn
states. Such results are
naturally to be apprehended during
both the Venus and the Mars periods
in summer, the two being blended
at this time.
July will come to its close with
excessively high temperature, or a
marked warm wave spreading trom
western to eastern parts of the
country. The second ndw moon
for the month falls on the Hist,
being within a few days only of the
center of the Venus disturbance.
These facts insure phenomenal
warmth, with hail and shunder
storms, followed by sudden changes
to very cool. We call special at'
tcntion to the fact that the Venus
equinox is central on July 20th and
not on August 20th, as was, by
mistake, chartered in the storm
diagrams in our 100") Almanac,
The presence of this Venus period,
blending with the Mars period all
through the central and latter Parts
of July will add double intensity to
whatever kind of weather and other
phenomena may prevail in different
extremes of the country. Sections
having dry, warm weather will find
it abnormally dry and warm; those
having storms and rain may expect
such things above normal.
The periods in July in which
seismic and carthquakodisturbances
arc more likely to transpire are
from the 1st to the 4th, from the
nun to iflui, ana on ana touching
the ft 1st. Not once in a thousand
times arc such phenomena attended
with danger, especially in our own
country; hut they have a vital significance
in determining the effects
of cosmic forces and influences upon
our atmosphere and globe. All
who follow us intelligently through
our forecasts, and especially through
all our foundation facts, assigning
reasons for all these things, will
readily sec that, while we issue
forecasts of storm and weather, our
j objects in their entirety are to trace
out .the general laws by which creation
around us is influenced and
controlled. He who sees only the
predictions which we issue, looking
no deeper at the wonderful laws ami
methods of the nil-powerful and
all-wise God, which we are reverently
and humbly trying to discover
and apply, sees only the
smaller side of our motive and
work.
LIQUOR ANDLABOR.
Gives Reason for Strike in
Chicago.
n. i\ okkkn in woni) axi> wohks.
Our trouble with the teamster
strikers in Chicago, in which much
violence was used in keeping nonunion
men from earning their
bread, resisting the police force,
fighting and killing all who opposed,
is but another sad illustration of
the unhappy condition of our country.
Probably no land, all things
considered, furnishes better opportunities
for the laboring classes to
better their conditions, or where
better wages are paid than our
own. And yet, it is claimed these
lalx>r disturbances are hut the outward
expressions of home suffering
and wants. It is the cry for bread,
the working man can hardlv make
both ends meet. Is it not because
he insists on creating capitalists out
of saloon-keepers, and, not content
with that, on submitting all his
rights of citizenship to the same
object of ownership? When lal?or
is most disturbed, when tlit; demand
for advanced wages is the loudest,
when strikes are most frequent,
when hunger and misery arc most
rife in the homes of the jx>or, the
saloon flourishes still. There may
he no bread at home, hut there is
always l>cer and whiskey at the
bar; and the men who considerthemselves
the victims of circumstances,
of the ''thrall" of capital,
squander their earnings and spend
their savings in these dens, (an
there l>e a serious lal>or question
while this state of things continues?
Can workingmen talk gravely of
their wrongs, while it is plain to all
the World, that if they only saved
