ATS getting mighty hot in Florida,
according to Mr.. John l.. Stacy, wen
known surveyor of Glover, who Is
spending some time in that state. Mr..
Stacy writing from Palctkf, Fla
says: "I noticed one thermometer on
the street exposed to the sun which
registered 90 degrees Saturday after
noon late and 81 degrees Sunday al
ternoon." Farmers in the lower Sec
ton of South Carolina are not much
further along with their work than
are those of York county. Speaking
of the Journey to Florida Mr.. Stacy
says: "As you know we had heavy
rains in York county "Wednesday
night and Thursday morning. There
had also been heavy rains on down to
near Charleston. All the rivers were
almost in flood stage, the swamps
were flooded and small streams run
ming full. There was very little plow-
ing done along the route even rs far
down as Monck's Corner. | saw two
fields of cotton planted between Col
umbia and Sumter. From Charleston
or 1t was comparatively dry. After
leaving Lanes I began to see fields
of Irish potatoes up from six to ten
inches high and also saw few beans
up"
