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.

Mlsa Leila Plant accompanied her. 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."

S3 •>*2 U a. m si .*•12 noon 1 P. ni 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.

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.
