The Dry Year, 1s45.

The year 1896 has besn re-
markably dry year but not so dry
as some of its predecessors. The
year 1889 and 1845 were specially
noted for the absense of rain fall.
From old copies of the Southern
Medical and Surgical Journal,
1916, published in Augusta, Ca,
by P. c.. Guieu and edited by Doc
tars Paul T. Eve and I. P. Garvin
we get some very interesting sta
t1stics of the weather for certain
months Of 1845-the dryest year
within the memory of the oldest
inhabitant. In January of that
year at Augusta tie total rainfall
was 1910 inches; the warmest
day was the first of the month
when the thermometer reached TO Z;
: the col2est day was the last when
the eregister was 29'.
The ncxtrecord we have is for
the month Of April of this same
year. In that month there was
no rain at all and the statement is
made at the foot of the table for
April that "we had no rain from
thei24th March to the 18th Maya
period of 40 days" On the first OF
this month we find this record
acloudy to 12 M on the 10th the
same, on the 25th the same
acloudy"-but not drop of water

THREE MEN
Shoot. Stab and Stone a South
Carolina Desperado.

On Saturday Nj. Joseph Murphy,
the well known Ellis street stable
man, was an eye witness to a most
horrible killing which occurred at
Saluda, S. c., a small town twelve
miles from Johnston. Mr.. Muir
ply was ever there selling stock
and happened to be on the main
street of the little town when the
bloody work was done.
Three men, a father and his two
sons, shot, cut and with rocks
pounded q man to death, and up to
the time Mr.. Murphy left Saluda
they had not been arrested.
The man who was killed was a
noted desperate. He had twice
stood before the tribunal of the
state charged with murder and on
u third occasion was tried for as
sault with Intent to kill.
Twice he escaped the gallows by
the mercy of a South Carolina jury,
and once the penitentiary.
Arising out of this last mention
ed case came a difficulty thst on
Saturday put an end to the criminal
career of Buzzard for all time.
Buzzard had been the terror of his

it is said, rough shod over the COM
munity.. He had kept at bay all
persons who would have held him
in check.
But at last he met his man, who,
with the assistance of two others,
called him down forever.
Some years ago Buzzard, SO say
Mr.. Murphy, killed man by the
name of Moss. He was not hung,
and then he killed a man named
Blaydon. About a year ago Buz-
zard shot Will Henderson, well
known farmer. AS usual with Buz-
zard, he got off, and since then
Henderson has been worried no
little by the man. On all occa-
sions Buzzard bulied, brushed up

endeavored to show to Henderson

Never before in the history of the game
have hon teams suffered so many defeats.
In the pasl game at home was counted up
as victory before the battle commenced.
IL is different now and the homesters have
to hustle as hard as they know how to rec
the past week demonstrates that there is
any amount OF interest In the game.
The Salems had dire week, losing every
game played. This pushed them farther
in the rear than ever, and now the Witches
will have an uphill job on their hands to
overcome the Grays, who are displaying
better form every day.
As for the Tigers they are regarded as
the best balanced team in the business.
Bone and Cunningham are easily the best
pair OF rushers. Hobe Whiting makes
and ideal centre; Bill Whiting is a star at
half back, while old reliable Lationsl is
nothing If not up-to-date.
With no accidents to the Pawtucket
team they will undoubtedly land the
championship for second time. Since
Capt Whiting has been back in the game
the Tigers have overhauled the Whalers
and the plan is 10 pass Capt. Does team

The Reds Made Things Lively.
The Tigers had a narrow escape from
being scalped by Heap Big Injun Cotter
: and his tribe of red men at the Auditorium
on Saturday evening. The Reds gave Capt.
Whiting a lively chase and the Tigers
reached the jungle and slammed the door
behind them in the nick Of time to prevent
the visiting warriors from having jubilee
at the expense of the Monsters.
Rain in the Face Curley was in fine fet-
tie, and on more than one occasion ii
looked as il he would kick over the traces
and spoil the well-laid plans Of the Tigers.
The second period opened with the Tigers
one lap TO the good, and for more than 10
minutes there was the liveliest kind OF a
struggle for the lead. With about four
minutes TO play Cunningham landed one
behind Curley that made the score to 8,
and "a seconds later Bone sent another one
in the netting. These occurrence took all
the spunk out Of the Reds, and they went
down with a slump that must have been
perceptble in the Border City. The sum
