tire winter is six inches. Tho average num-
Der Of ioggy days are two (2). Nopart Of tho
State is subject to destructive gales. Mean
annual temperature for the State 20. Sum
mer II, Winter 43, rainfall 45 inches. While
the cold OF tho winter is not severe, the TEN.
peeature of midsummer is not so trying or
excessive as farther North. While there ar
hundreds of sunstrokcs in New York stat
every simmer, the disease is almost unknown
in N. q. Dnring a lato winter of unusual
severity, the thermometer several times
cropped 10 so degrees, and even to 40 degrees
below zero in Iowa, Michigan and New
York. here 10 degrees above zero was reached
but once, ami then only for one single night.

profit than in the eastern counties of North
Carolina.
MARKETs.-Th distance to New York
from the eastern ana northern parts OF our
State is no farther than from tho western
part Of N. Y. State to New York.
