FRIDAY, JUNE 19.
FIRST RAIN IN
OVER 4 MONTHS
Precipitation Over One Inch
All Day Yesterday. Heaviest
Rain Since February 6th.
More rain fell in Augusta yesterday,
most of it late yesterday afternoon,
titan the city has had since February
Hth. more than four months ago. Yes
terday's total rainfall aggregated 1.01
inches.
It was the heaviest precipitation since
the snow storm on February 25th and
2t6h, which amounted to 10.5 inches of
snow and, with the slight sleet that fell
with it. approximately the enuivalent ot
1.13 inches of vain, every bit of whidh
tile ground absorbed.
Effect of February Snow.
Forecaster Emigh stated this morning
that had it not been for this snow, the
conditions would have been a great deal
worse, as a result of the continued dry
leather. All of the moisture from the
snow, he said, went into the ground,
and the long drought would have been
more severely felt than it was but for
the February snow.
The rain was quite a novelty at first,
even ns was the remarkably cool weath
er it brought with it—cool in compari
son with the terrific heat which has
been breaking reeovds for high tempera
tures right along for the past several
days.
Could Hardly Be Realized.
Augusta didn't know quite what to
make ot it. Here it has been roasting
under .100 degrees of temperature and
more for weeks, with only an oscasional
thunder shower appearing for a moment
and dVylng up before it could be said
fairly to have rained.
But yesterday down came the rain
drops, and citizens regarded them as su
spiciously at first, as if they traitor
ously meant to run away In a minute.
But when it seemed to be a steady down
pour yesterday afternoon after 4 o’clock
Uigusta accepted It for what it was—
the first real rainfall of the summer.
Mercury Sags.
The mercury has nearly had a fit to
crowd Itself down Into as little space as
possible near the bottom of the tube.
This morning it succeeded in reaching
as low as 62. the same as yesterda’s
minimum temperature. The clouds yes
terday held it almost steady, and it lose
only seven degrees all during the day. A
maximum yesterday of 69 degrees shows
up In extreme contrast to a maximum
of only a elay or so ago of 100 degrees.
The sunshine today had things moving
toward the upper end of the column.
TO CLEAR SEAS
OF DERELICTS
Two U. S. Revenue Cutters,
Seneca and Miami, Start July
Ist on International Patrol.
Washington. D. C. —To free the North
Atlantic of derelicts, the revenue cutters
Seneca and Miami early in July will es
tablish* an international patrol in those
waters as authorized by the international
maritime conference in London last year.
jOne of the cutters will make its head
quarters somewhere in the Azores and
confine its duty to the European end of
the trans-Atlantic routes. TW others will
iflake its headquarters eirnev in New
Fpundland or Nova Seotia and limit its
efforts to the American end of the well
traveled courses.
This will be "the first time an effort
has been made by international co
operation to (*lear the hiprh seas of
derelicts. The patrol service will be
paid for by all the powers which par
ticipated in the international maritime
conference and signed the treaty groov
ing out of it.
A majority of the derelicts in the
North Atlantic are carried from the
shores of the United Staes by the gulf
stream and other currents toward Eu
rope and deflected south by curents off
the European cost. A cutteV off Nova
Scotia or New Foundland will be able
to destroy wrecks thus carried eastward
and another cutter in the Azroes can In
tercept southward hound wrecks which
escape the Nova Scotian outlook or
originate off the European coast.
The two cutters Will use gun cotton
to demolish derelicts. They are equip
ped with wifeless.
U. S. SENATOR WEST OF

were made to stampede the convention
to Bryan.
According to the story, the Georgia
delegation alone from the South remain
ed immovable. The hand began play
ing “Marching Through Geea-gla," and
the delegations beg n to march around

broke for the Georgia delegation, for the
purpose of trying to capture their flag.
Senator West saw what waa up and ran
to the rescue.
Clasping the flag with one hand and
pulling his knife from his pocket with
the other, opening tile blade with hi*
teeth, he defied those who were trying
to capture the flag. “The scoundrel
who touches that flag will get his throat
cut. Now try It!" he shouted. The band
continued to play, amt -the delegations
kept moving around the hall, hut the
Georgians stood firm around tlielr flag,
while the would-be captors quietly dls-

enthusiastically of Chamberlain's
Tablets that I procured a bottle of
them. A few days' treatment con

T needed. I continued to use them
lor several weeks and they cured
me.” For sale by all dealers.

Will Plan Campaign
Against Federal League
New York —To plan a campaign
against the Federal, which recently has
secured many players from the ranks
of organized baseball, is said to be the
object of the meeting here today of the
National Commission. The commission
also has before it the ultimatum of
Manager Dunn, of the Baltimore Inter
nationals, to waive the draft rule and
class the International as a major
league or see the Baltimore team trans
ferred by sale to Richmond, Va. Dunn
is reported to have said that should
his demands for recognition he refused,
it was quite probable the Baltimore
franchise would be sold to Richmond
promoters.
