THE MACON - TELEGRAPH t FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 26, 1901
THE PARTIES INVOLVED HAVE
REACHED AX AGREEMENT AMONG
THEMSELVES AND ALL TROUBLE
IS OVER—AX INTERESTING HIT OF
LITIGATION. WHICH HAD GONE
INTO SUPREME COURT.
Judge Speer yesterday sent down
from Mt. Airy an order allowing set
tlement of the Wayman cotton mills
case.
The court’s order dismiss the bill
for injunction, receiver, etc., the plain
tiffs to pay the cost.
It is understood that the whole
trouble between the stockholders Is
settled, and the creditors of the cotton
mills have been satisfied, so that the
mills, which are located near Thomaa-
ton, will now be able to resume opera
tions under favorable auspices.
The mairf complaint made by the
creditors .was that the stockholders
were warring with each other, and the
business would be allowed to fritter
away before they could agree. This
branch ot the case was brought In the
United States court, and Judge John
P. Ross of Macon was made receiver
on motion of the creditors. But Judge
Reagin of the state court had Already
appointed a receiver under the bill
brought by one set of stockholders
against the other, and the state court
receiver refused to turn over the prop
erty to the United States court
celver. The trouble first arose
this way: The original stockholders
sold their stock, and afterwards the
purchasers of the stock decided th'at
, they wanted to rue back. The sellers
of the stock wanted the trade to stand.
A bill was brought against the sellers,
the purchasers being the complainants.
On this bill the state court appointed
his receiver. When the case was heard
ho made the receivership permanent,
and held that Judge Ross hod no right
to take charge of the property under
the United States court's order.
The parties who had sold the stock
appealed to the supreme court on the
ground that Judge Reagin did wrong
In appointing a receiver over them
and Judge Ross appealed to the su
preme court on the ground that Judge
Reagin had made a mistake In refus
ing to give him custody of the property.
Both of these branches of the case
had been argued before the supreme
court, but that tribunal was asked to
withhold decision pending a settlement,
which appears to have been made, and
the case Is now out of court.

thermometer registered 07 degrees
for a couple of hours yesterday, but the
air was light, and few people seemed
really uncomfortable.
Mr. John R. Weeks says Macon ought
to be delighted with what she is re
ceiving. for she has known nothing about
the suffering that la the lot of the people
In other sections. Mr. Weeks was asked
for his opinion about the various causes
assigned for the high temperatures in
the central plains and the Middle South,
and he replied:
"It is Interesting to notice the various
theories ae % to its cause-advanced by those
not thoroughly conversant with weather
conditions and changes/ Common among
them Is the sunspot theory, which, like the
moon hoax. Is not new by any means
It Is true that the sun spots lnereast
and decrease In amount, the mallneum pe
riods of frequency occurring at Intervals
of eleven years, and that thU has on In
fluence on the earth’s magnetism, but
carefjil study off weather changes, made
by leading meteorologists of this country
and other countries, from more than a
century’s observations, falls to show any
.definite connection between sunspot fre
quency and the weather. Moreover, if
assume that rome change has taken place
In the sun by which It gives us Increased
heat at this time, that heat would bo
equally distributed. Therefore, this theo
ry would not account for the mild temper
ature experienced along the Pacific coast
and over the Southern states at the same
time that extremes, are being broken In
tho Mississippi Valley.
"In order to arrive at the correct expla
nation wo must first consider ^he gen
eral movement of the atmosphere, for
we are simply at the bottom of a great
ocean of air which obeys the same law
of gravity and has Its similar currents
and eddies to those of the Atlantic or Pa
cific, but with this difference, Its density
is so much less that Its activity Is cor
respondingly greater. Just as a lake of
wnter would have quicken currents anu
higher waves than a corresponding lake
of molasses or any denser fluid. Then,
again, this ocean df air contains an ad
ditional factor, water vapor, whleh, like
oil in water, does not unite with It but
occupies space among Us particles or,
when condensed, floats In the form of
clouds. It would be too intricate a discus
sion to attempt to explain the details of
atmospheric movement. To study them
minutely requires an extensive knowledge
of all the higher mathematics. But the
general principle Is this: Any gas, air,
for Instance, when heated, expands and
becomes lighter. Hence, the heated, light
er air at the equator Is continually being
displaced by colder, heavier air flowing
In from the poles on each side, so that
at the equator we have rising currents
ot air and on each side, Inward currents
telow and outward currents abovo, giving
rise to a general exchange of winds be
tween the equator and tho poles. Our
storm centers, or areas of low air press
ure, are simply eddies In these general
curents or winds, and therefore follow
their general direction, while the 'highs,’
or anti-storms, are the raised srens be
tween the whirling storm centers. Now,
during the summer season. In this hemis
phere. owing to.the more equal warming
of the air over the continent, by the sun’s
rays, the air currents are less active, the
variation of pressure between ’highs’ and
lows’ Is less and their movement is
consequently more sluggish.
"Now. because of the Inward and up
ward motion of the winds in them, the
lows’ are accompanied by and produce
higher temperatures, while. Inversely, the
’highs,’ because of the downwnrd and out
ward movement *from the cold air afore,
cause cooler temperatures. It Is found by
experience that when the low pressure,
or storm conditions, form in the middle
or northern plateau region of the Rocky
Mountains, are accompanied by rain, and
are sluggish In movement, drought and
high temperatures follow in the great Cen
tral plains. In the words of Professor
Moore, when such droughts are broken,
’It Is usually accompanied by lows that
form In Arlona, New Mexico or Tevas,
and that, aa they movo eastward or north
ward. quickly draw Into their whirling
centers the vapor-laden aJr from the Guir.»
Now. If we examine the dally weather
maps covering this heated term, we And
these Identical conditions, the formation
of lows over the Rocky Moutain regions,
either stagnant or with a very slow
eastward movement. Just why higher
temperature should be reached this year
than In previous year# In our present
state of knowledge, I cannot explain, but
no variation In the actual amount of heat
received by the earth from the sun has
yet been detected. Loral variations are
certainly due to atmospheric.movements,
whatever may be the cause of these."

The Confederate veterans meet to
night at the city court room to discuss
plans for the coming reunion, and they
hope to have Gen. Clement A. Evans
1th them. They have not yet h*&rd
definitely whether or not he will be
here, but they have been expecting him
for several weeks, and have cause, they
think, to suppose he will teach here to
night.
Among other things to be discussed
at the meeting will be the auditorium,
or the place for holding the reunion.
Most of the veterans—indeed, all who
have expressed themselves within tho
hearing of Telegraph reporters—have
appeared anxious to see the auditorium
completed before the reunion, and they
are wondering what It Is the city ad
ministration proposes to do or can do
to overcome the difficulties that now
present themselves.
Several subscriptions of $100 each
have been tendered by individual citi
zens, who wish to see the auditorium
constructed, and Indeed, Mr. Ben L.
Jones is himself quoted ns saying that
he will subscribe $100 to build it out of
private funds, but he Is opposed to hiv
ing it built out of the city’s funds.
The city authorities say that while
the city waits conventions arc going
elsewhere, and more Is being lost to
the merchants and business men than
the auditorium would cost.
Mr. Ab F. Jones, commander of the
local camp of Confederate veteruns.
said yesterday, in speaking about the
matter."
"Ben Jones has no heller friend than
I am, but I do not think he ought to
have been allowed to prevent us from
getting an auditorium. It looks too
much like one man running things."
MACON DID NOT OBSERVE IT.
The Ninth Day of the Month of Ab
W«» it Dny of Mourning In
Some Placet*.
The orthodox Jews In many cities
In various parts of the world observ
ed yesterday until sundown ns a day
of mourning, being the nlnU day of
the month of Ab, but In Macon, so
far as. is known, the day was unob
served.* No services were held at the
synagogue, for that building has been
torn down ao the material could be
used In the new one that is being
built, and no substitute house of wor
ship has been secured for temporary
use, and Rabbi Marcuson is out of
the city on vacation.
The observance, where It occurred
at all, began with Wednesday, and
ia described as followu:
"They assembled at dusk at the syn-
agogue, where the Lamentations of
Jeremiah were read. The congre
gation sat upon the floor of the syna
gogue as a token of -deep sorrow and
mourning, and prayed. The women
and children withdrew - at about 10
o’clock to their homes 1 , where they
epent the night on the floor.”

The only conditions arc that thd re

THE METROPOLITAN.
To the Editor of The Telegraph: If
the Metropolitan has earned n support
as lt has been run, I would think It
would be a good paying property—dif
ferently run.
I have never known anything done
to stimulate Its travel or make Its white
patrons feel kindly toward it. No open
cars have been run In hot weather. No
transfers have been offered to Crump's
or Central city parks. No extra cars
have been provided for special occas
ions. such as street fairs or firework
displays. Its cars have been eyesorCN
to the city. No onfr rides on thorn who
can get to another line. Many who can
not get on to another walk. And last
and worst of all, ladles who use lt
never feel easy till they have reached
their destination.
Our grievances are real nnd can bo
shown to any one who will ride over
tho line.
I wish you could see an Atlanta Rapid
Transit car and a Metropolitan car
side by side.

that the officers nnd men might re
