Augusta, Ga., July 28.—The rainfall for Augusta during the past 26 days ha* been a record for the local terrl tory. The amount le the largest that has fallen during the paet 26 years, during which time the statistics have been recorded, and the local station has been In existence. The total amount of rainfall during the post 26 days has been 12.28 Inches, or prac tically 12 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 was recorded In March, 1875. The excess in the rainfall for the month Is 8.82 Inches, and the excess for the year Is 8.06, 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 Is August of 1887 when the total rainfall was 10.38, and In July of 1888, when It was 10.10.
