Kansas City, Aug. 18.—The South west is in the grip of the worst drouth since the memorable dry spell in 1901, and some places report temperatures exceeding the terrific heat of that year. Crops in Missouri, Northern Oklahoma, Southern Kansas, Nebraska and Illinois are drying up, and unless there is rain soon the loss will be enor mous. Reports from Wellington and Coffeyville, Kans., say that there has been no rainfall in the corn belt for two weeks, and the temperature has been hovering about the 100 mark. Trees and shrubbery are drying up and the development of corn has stopped. In central Missouri late corn is suffering for want of rain and the pastures are burning up. The watermelon crop is ruined. Dispatches from Oklahoma re port temperatures above 100, and the hot winds are damaging corn, cotton and vegetables. Smith Men in Control, and Kept Down Legislation. Savannah Press-. “There has been a good deal of criticism of the present General As sembly and the fact that it passed few general hills, but the people do not un derstand what the first session really did accomplish,” said Hon. J. Randolph Anderson, member of the House from Chatham, who returned to the city this morning. “In the first place, the House was in control of the Smith fac tion. They had 102 members, while the Brown faction had just 82 mem bers. A majority of the members of the House had been named before the gubernatorial election, with the result that Smith’s adherents predominated at the start. Gov. Brown was respon sible to the people of the State for necessary legislation, yet on all sides he was hampered by hostile members of the General Assembly, and it was with the greatest difficulty that reme dial legislation was enacted.” A teacher was telling a class at school last Sunday abuut the Deluge, remarking: “And then it rained for forty days and forty nights. ” Then a little boy asked : “Were the farmers satisfied then, Miss Jennie?” 'Twas a Glorious Victory. There’s rejoicing in Fedora, Tenn. A man’s life lias bsen saved, and now Dr. King’s New Discovery is the talk of the town for curing C. V.
