Thirteen Inches at Augusta Dur
ing 25 Days Which Have
Just Passed.
Special to Tbe Georgian.
Augusta, Go., July 28.—The rainfall
for Augusta during the post 28 days
has been a record for the local terri
tory. The amount Is the largest that
has, fallen during the past 38 years,
during which time the statistics have
been recorded, and the local station
has been In existence. The total
amount of rainfall during the peat 25
days has been 12.99 Inches, or prac
tically 18 Inches. This Is more than a
half Inch a day, or enough rainfall for
double the amount of time.
The next largest amount for an en
tire month has been 11.88, which waa
recorded In March, 1876.
The excess In the rainfall for the
month Is 8.92 Inches, and the excess
for the year Is 6.08, or almost enough
to make up the deficiency for last
year, which was very dry.
Among the other months that have
been visited with heavy rainfalls dur
ing the past 36 years la August of 1897
when the total rainfall was 10.19, and
In July of 1889, when It was 10.10.
The farms In this section have suf
fered much.
COURT Of APPEALS
BILL UPON MONDAY
Pres. West Urges All Mem
bers To Be Present for
This Measure.
Before the session of the senate come
to a close Thursday, President West
warned all the members that a bill jof
the utmoat Importance would be up for
passage next Monday, and called upon
all the senators to lay aside matters
that were not Imperative and be pres
ent, as It was a constitutional measure.
He had reference to the court of ap
peals bill, which passed the house on
Wednesday by an overwhelming ma
jority. There Is hardly a doubt but
that the senate will pass the Slaton
bill as passed by the house, which pro
vides for three judges to form a court
appeals.
On Tuesday the McHenry lease bill
for the Western and Atlantic railroad
will be the special order, ond It Is
highly probable that the child labor
measure will come up for passage on
Thursday.

AS A MISDEMEANOR
Senator Reid Wants to
Change the Punish
ment.
For tile purpose of relieving the con
gestlon of business In the superior
courts, and to prevent the punishment
of unfortunates who take small sums
from another for a felony, Senator eRld
Introduced a bill Thursday to make
larceny from the person for any sum
under 360 punishable aa for a misde
meanor.
Under the present law any caae of
larceny from the penon la punishable
as for a felony. Aa a consequence In
large cities like Atlanta, where the su
perlor court dockets are badly crowd
ed In many cases of this kind the ac
cused has to stay In Jail for weeka.
If this bill Is passed the cases In
volving amounts under 150 may be
tried In the city, courts and readily
disposed of. Such cases' are' »<
punishable aa for a misdemeanor.
It Is understood that Judge Roan and
Solicitor Charles Hill both advocated
the bill.
MANY CASES MADE
IN SKEETER WAR
Discoveries of disease-inviting con
ditions are being made on all hands by
the officers of the board of health elnce
(he campaign against mosquitoes has
been begun In earnest. Some eighteen
cases havs been made against cltlssns
for having reoeptades containing stag
nant water In their yards, and before
Thursday Is over elx or eight more
cases will have been made.
In a number of Instances the health
officers have found cellars with several
feet of stagnant watar In them. One of
these was discovered at'the comer of
Whitehall and Garnett streets Tuesday
morning and another like caae was
found Wednesday evening on White
hall, street.
Dr. J. P. Kennedy, health officer, said
Thursday that ths campaign would bs
carried on until the entire city Is rid
of mosquitoes and that It would be a
great help to the board of health If clt-
sens troubled with mosquitoes would
notify health headquarters so that an
Investigation could be made In the
neighborhood.
