Another Hot Wave.

Tuesday and Wednesday were'record
breakers in the matter Of heat and op-
~pressiveness. The Thermometer stood
at $50 Tuesday from noon till 6 p. IN.
and at night sleep was out Of the ques-
ton, as there was no breeze and the
heat was like air from a furnace. In
many of the stores about town the
mercury stood at LOO and l02. In New
Orleans on Tuesday the thermometer
stood at 80, the hottest ever known
during the month OF August, and as
hot rs it has ever been in that city
during the past 80 years.

Wednesdays EDust Storm.

Tuesday and Wednesday the heat
was something awful. 1t fairly scorch-
ed everything exposed to its fierce
ardor. Poor humanity actually wilted
beneath its torrid rays. Everyone hail
ed with joy the approach Of a few dark
clouds which gathered in the east
about 2:30 p. m. Wednesday, cherish
ing the fond hope that they would give
US rain. In a few minutes the cloud
grew to enormous proportions and with
it came a gale which filled the air with
leaves and scudding volumes Of blind
ing dust. The dust was q veritable
sand storm, 1t came from every part
of the compass and covered everything
with a thick coating. A few flashes
of lightning, a drop or two of rain and
the storm had passed. The long pray
ed for shower came not but the blow
caused the thermometer to drop from
81 to "a and the people breathed easily
and felt refreshed.

A Delayed Message.

%
In the Times Democrat of last Sun
day we find the following item of news:
"There is a considerable stir in the
neighborhood Of Perry, two miles south
of AbbeVille,a AS well as more than ordi-'
nary interest in Abbeville, over the de-
lay of the Great Southern Telephone
and Telegraph Company, which oper-
ates a telephone lire between New
Iberia and Abbeville, in delivering a
message sent from Georgetown, S. c.,
to AbbeVille on July 2.
On July 2 one Robt. Griffin, who was
then employed in Georgetown, S. G.,
wired his wife, who was visiting reiG-
tiges near the town of Perry, La, and
deposited III ID addition TO the regular
charges to insure the delivery of the
message at once. He waited several
days and not receiving an answer be-
came very much alarmed, gave up a
position that was paying him $50 a
month and made all possible haste to
Louisiana, arriving here on July z.
He learned on his arrival here that
his message had been delivered to his
wife by mail from the Perry postofIice.
This piece Of negligence came near
causing a suit for divorte and a power
damage suit against the Great South
ern Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany.
This is not the first case that has
caused comment. as there have been
kilograms delayed from six 10 thirty
six hours at some point on this line
several times before
Referring to the above sensational
dispatch, Mr.. Willard, the manager Of
the Great Southern Telephone Co.,
states that the facts have been greatly
exaggerated and the fault did not lie
with his company. Mr.. Griffin he says
made the trip for reasons of his own
and not because he codld not get an
answer to his telegram. The Republic
can Idea, which first published the
item will make proper correction of
same, so we are informed.
