was compiled by Maurice Wheeler,
lai.on of Christchurch. Oxford, and
was printi d in that city. The sale was
p<> great that the booksellers of London
bought the copyright in order to mo
nopolize its subsequent sales. The
"Almanac Koval” of Paris, 101*7, con
tained notices of pastimes, court recep
tion days, fairs and markets, to which
were added soon afterward the gen
ealogy of the reigning house, etc.
In Kngland James 1. granted l mo
nopoly of the trade to the universities
and the Stationers’ company, subject
to the censorship of the archbishop of
Canterbury and the bishop of London.
The universities accepted an annuity
from their colleagues, and resign ’d the
active exercise of their privilege into
the hands of the Stationers. Under
tliclr super\ ision wore conduct* d the
popular almanacs known tis "Moore’s”
and "Partridge’s," the latter of which
was humorously attacked by Swift.
"Poor Robin’s Almanac,” published
from 1052 to 1828, may have furnished
a model, at least In title, for Franklin’s
"Poor Richard.”
Popular superstititlons and the ex
travagances of astrology found room
in those almanacs, the Stationers, like
a genuine corporation or "trust” of
the time, having no personality of
their own. and exhibiting no special
bias except for what would sell, as
was particularly proved in 1024, when
they issued a set of predictions In one
almanac and bitterly contradicted
tlu-m in another.
The famous "Moore’s Almanac” pur
ported to be edited by Francis Moore,
physician. The original Francis Moore
died in 1724, but the publication was
still isuod as if under his supervision,
and in 17To a vigorous rival arose In
another almanac claiming to be the
genuine Francis Moore. A gnat law
suit followed, which was decided
against the monopoly of the Station
ers’ company. A bill to renew and
legalize the privilege was brought in
the house of commons by Lori North
in 1770, but Lord Erskine, ti e great
barrister, most brilliantly exposed the
absurdity and even indecency of the
publication, and the bill was defeated.
Although the privilege was thus de
stroyed, the Stationers purchased their
rival and continued to hold the Held
with a but slightly Improved style of
publication until 1828, when the Soci
ety For the Diffusion of Useful Knowl
edge published the “British Almanac”
and demolished their predecessors,
with the able assistance of the daily
press, which so vigorously ass tiled the
Stationers’ publication that that com
pany w as constrained to fo low' the
new example In the "EuglishLian’s Al
manac.”
The uniform price for an English al
manac for many years was a penny,
but the monopoly increased the price,
and the imposition of the stamp taxes
after Queen Anne’s time raisinl it still
more. In 1781 "Moore’s Alina aac” was
nlnepence, two being for the stamp.
In 1700 it rose to Is. 4d. and in 1810 to
2s. 3d.
An almanac was established by
Isaiah Thomas in Worcester, Mass.,
which gained and established an ex
traordinary repute in 1780 from the
happy accident that, as it was being set
up, one of the boys asked what should
be placed agaiust the 13th of July.
Mr. Thomas, in careless haste, an
swered: "Anything! Anything!” The'
lad, literally obedient, set up "Rain,
hail and snow." The diligent readers
were surprised, but when the day came
the prediction was fulfilled—it really
did rain, hail and snow on the 13th

Chairman William Vaughan, of the
state Republican executive committee.
The call sets forth the rules govern
ing the conduct of the meetings, at
which delegates are to he elected as
well as the representation to which
each county Is entitled. This feat
ure' of the call is especially interest
ing, as it shows the change which has
been wrought by basing the represen-
j tilt ion to which each county is entitled.
- j This feature of the call is especially
* interesting, as it shows the ohanga

■ representation upon the vote McKin-

I Dallas, the groat black belt county
| with its negro population, will have
| but one delegate in the convention
and this is illustrative of the condition
I of other counties which had heavy
representation under the old plan.
The call designates Birmingham as
the place and Sept. 16 as the time.
