WHAT NEXT MONTH MAY BE.
The Kind of weather That May BE
Expected.

Observer Smyth of the weather bureau
has compiled from the records of the bu-
reau report of the weather
conditions during July at Sa-
vannah for the last twenty-four
years, from which pretty accurate idea
may be had of the kind of weather that
may be expected next month.
The mean temperature for July for the
last twentyfour years is SO degrees. The
warmest July during that time was that
of 1876, with an average of So degrees. The
coolest was that of 1885, with an average of
IS degrees. The highest temperature in
any July was 1916 degrees on the 18th, in
1879. The lowest was 81 degrees on the 18th,
in 1891
The average rainfall for July is 5.68
inches. The average number of days with
81 of an inch or more, IS 10. The greatest
rainfall in any July was 1918 inches in
1894 The least was 50 inches in 1883. The
greatest amount in any twenty-four con-
secutive hours was All inches, July and
TO- in 1894.
The average number of clear days is 7;
partly cloudy days, II; and cloudy days. Z.
The prevailing winds are from the south
west The highest velocity reached was IS
miles from the northwest on the 10th, in
1885, the year of the big cyclone.

TO BRING OUT A CANDIDATE.
Citizens Club Leaders Talk over MIR.
DOoIan's Successor.


An informal conference Of the leaders Of
the Citizens Club was held last night TO
consider the question Of a candidate to
fill the vacancy caused by the death Of
Representative ]. J. Doolan. 1t is under
stood that the names of several candi-
dates were under discussion, but no de-
cision was made.
The election will probably not be held
before September or the latter part OF
August The election must be ordered
by the governor, and 1t is probable that
Gov Atkinson will not be asked to order
the election for some time yet, so that
there is the whole summer ahead for the
campaign, if there is to be any.
Mr.. w. w. Chisholm is more frequently
mentioned than any other member of the
Citizens Club as candidate for the va
cancy. but the names of several other gen.
tlemen have been mentioned, including
Messrs. G. b. Whatley, A. L. Alexander,
W. p. LaRoche, d. L. Chris
tian and others. There is a
belief that the leaders have a
dark horse in training, whom they will
present at the proper moment. 1t is
whispered that Maj. John Schwarz can
have the place if he wants it, but it is
doubtful il the major would be willins
to give the time which would be required
away from his business. Mr.. David Wells
is the only candidate mentioned by the
opposition so far, and his name seems to
meet with favor whenever mentioned.

Judge Ferrill addressed a letter to the
county commissioners stating the finding
of the jury and requested that Fleming
be ordered taken from the jail to the poor
farm by the commissioners. When the
matter came before the commissioners
they decided that they had no authority
to send lunatic TO the poor farm.
Judge Ferrill accordingly ordered Flem-
ing released from jail. where he had been
for several days.
Fleming was living In the rear of a house
on New Houston street. He went back
there after being released from jail and in
formed the people Of the house that he had
been out TO the poor farm, but that they
gave him a good whipping there and turn
ed him loose. He has manifested signs of
genuine lunacy since. He reported the
other night that there was man under
his bed and that he intended to kill him.
He also said that he had been commits
stoned by the Lord to kill five men. AS he
had pistol there was danger of his doing
harm 10 some one. Yesterday he locked
himself up in his room and refused to
let anyone come near him. The case was
reported 40 the city exchange and the po-
lice were instructed 10 take charge of
Fleming. Policeman Ryals made the ar
