"TOOT VOUK HORN.-
GREAT STORMS PREDICTED FOR. NEXT
WINTER.
Among the weather prophets of
his age and country are several
whose forecasts have been so gen
erally correct that instead of be-
ng ridiculed as guesser6 or charl
atans, as was once the case, they
receive respectful attention. Ono
of these weather seers, Professor
Forstervhas recently given to the
Washington Post his prognostica
tions for eleven months, begin
ning with July. The professor
disavows any mystery or any se
cret means of knowing more of
what changes are to be than oth
ers possess, but plainly says that
his prognostications are based on
real physical causes. From his
studies of these he is led to warn
his countrymen to be prepared for
an unusually severe winter and for
great storms. These disturbances
will be due to the equinox of Jupi
ter next January, when he antici
pates as terrible weather as this
country experienced in 1832-33.
During that period occurred the
historical hurricane that visited
the lower Mississippi and the Gulf
of Mexico, and numerous other

all)r ask the question, if you have
as grand a country as you claim,
why is it not at the head of the
procession, instead of being as
slow aa it is? The Norfolk Vir
ginian, of Jast week, in speaking
of the large amount of uncultiva
ted land in this vicinity, said the
only reason there was any unculti
vated land, must be, because the
outside world knew nothing of our
advantages. This is simply the
plain, unvarnished truth. If the
world knew the wealth in climate,
soil, advantages of location and
capability of raising the best pay
ing crops on earth, that we are
possessed of, there would be no
uncultivated land in Eastern Car
olina. There is no reason why
this country, as well as being the
world-leader in the production of

Old uncle Hill Bot, of No. 10

years old, whs a batchelor, and was
known to be miserly in hi habits

companions were two dogs, and an
old negro woman who had been liv

Ourioiis to nay, in his will he left her
nothing but her old age and a worn
out constitution not a pnny or
even a shanty to cover her head.
His real estate consisted of 1,800
acres of land. His home place con
taining 500 acre ho left jointly to
his two nephews, Allen and Peter
Bot. The former is his executor.
The balance was left to other neph
ews in 100 acre lots each. To h'w

was thought to hold thousands of
dollars. When this was ojeued the
only money found waa a punched

Accepting the fulfillment of Ihis

propnecy as possible, mere are
certain things it would be wise to
do. The first is to secure as much
of the cotton aud other late crops
before the possible storm season
shall begin. Another is to provide
shelter for domestic animals aud
to lay in unusually largo stores of
forage. There are many parts of
the South, especially in the Pied
mont and mountain districts,
where these provisions for the
welfare of stock are never made.
Southern manufacturers might ad
vantageously accumulate the ma
terials used in their industries, so
as to have a supply on hand suffi
cient to outlast any temporary
transportation blockades that may
occur because ofjthe severity of the
