THE LEADER-TRIBUNE, FORT VALLEY, GA., THURSDAY, J.ULY 9, 1925.
The South's Summer Cli¬
mate An Asset
(From Manufacturers Record)
Two letters received in the same
mail, one from Macon, Ga., and one
from Daytona, Fla., call attention South) to I
the climatic advantages of the
even in summer time as compared
with the terrific heat from which
much of the North suffered so in- j
tensely during the spring heated
spell. During that entire heated term,
when the thermometer ran from 95
degrees to 100 degrees and over, the
maximum as given in the Daytona
letter, and confirmed by personal
friends, was 85 degrees, with cooling
showers and almost constant ocean
breezes.
While the East was sweltering un
der a burning heat which did not in
the slightest give any let-up during
the night, Florida people were sleep¬
ing under blankets, and the highest
temperature that we saw recorded
anywhere in Florida during that
period was 90 degrees. On the other j
hand, the temperature in the moun -1
tains of Maryland went to 104 de- j
grees, and New York and Boston and ■
'
the East generally suffered in the
) same way. The letter from Macon
says:
‘‘The recent hot wave and regret¬
table enormous mortality which pre¬
vailed in the Northern cities make
me •wonder what the people in those j
parts of the country where these
deaths have occurred will think of
the climate throughout the South
when they have this awful experi¬
ence. They must think the South is
an awful place of residence. A great
many people have been brought to
a realization of the fact that the cli¬ I
matic conditions in the South make
that a desirable place of residence in
the winter months, and as a result
many of them are coming South. But
possibly some of these people have a
very erroneous idea of living eondi
tions in the South during the summer
months as to climate.” |
It is very true that the people of
the .North and West are densely igno- j
rant as to the climatic conditions of
the South in the summer time. Mil¬
lions of them have the impression
that as soon as one crosses the Ma
son and Dixon line he enters a
cal region of burning suns. As a mat
ter of fact, it does not get as hot in
the South in summer time as it does
in the North and West. Sunstrokes,
:
abundant in other sections, are al
unknown in the South. Even
the thermometer registers high
the South, the heat is nearly al
tempered by cooling breezes,
it is hot in the sun, it is near
always cool as soon as one steps
a tree or into any other
spot,
Some time ago the writer was mo
in Florida, and the party stop
j to investigate some large con
work in city building ae
One lady in the party, who
not familiar with the Southern
in the summer time, asked the
engineer if he could car
on his work successfully during
the summer. His reply in substance
“I have done work of this kind
in every part of the Union, including
the Pacific Coast. I have never found
any other climate so satisfactory for
summer work as this particular spot

where I am now engaged in large de
velopment work. I have spent two
summers here, and they are the best
summers I have ever had.”
Probably no other feature of Sou
them life is more thoroughly misun
derstood than that of its climatic'
conditions in summer. This region j
1 never suffers from the hot winds of 1
Kansas, which sometimes over night
will destroy a corn crop. Its tempera -'
ture rarely reaches such high figures
as are found throughout the entire
central West and in much of the
North. Some years ago a Massachu
setts lady who had removed to San
Antonio, Texas, where she had been
living for a number of years, went
back one summer to her former New
England home. Returning from New
England rather earlier than she ex
pected, and stopping in Baltimore on
the way South, she said she was ea
ger to get back to San Antonio, even
ns far south as that is, because she
had never suffered so intensely from
heat in that city as in Massachusetts.
We would not for a moment sug¬
gest that hot weather does not pre¬
vail in the South during the summer,
any more than we would suggest
that it does not prevail in other parts
of the country but we venture the
assertion that there is far less actual
suffering from heat in the South dur
ing the summer months than there
is in the central West and in much
of the North.
Of Biblical Derivation
The expression “feet of clay” refers
to the earthly or baser part of human
nature. If a person appears to be so
far above others that he or she is like
a god or goddess, often some grave
fault will he observed to remind oth¬
ers that the hero or heroine Is still
mortal. The expression is derived
from Biblical usage; see Daniel U ’
verse 88.
Cynical Def ’tion
History Is ■» nurr r of events by
a man who does not personally know
them, compiled from writings of other
persons, probably misinformed.—Ex¬
change.
